In order to effect change revolutionary practice must be informed by revolutionary theory. Karl Marx's total critique of society and his revolutionary dialectic are highly relevant today. We believe, as Marx did, that human history is the story of the struggle of humanity to free itself from all forms of bondage. All previous forms of social organization have been negated by the succeeding form, through a dialectical process of class struggle. Today, capitalism stands as the dominant form of social relations, every day striving to extend its hegemony throughout all human endeavors.
Capitalism is marked by the exploitation and commodification of human labor power.
It rests on the dual, contradictory qualities of this labor power as the creator of use value and exchange value. Because of this contradiction, the cause of the worker is irreconcilable with capitalism. Capitalism cannot be reformed. It must be abolished.
