Marxist theory is the cornerstone of the struggle for socialism. But theory without practice is sterile. The best way to learn Marxist theory is not in isolation and passively, but by putting these ideas into practice.
For Socialist Appeal education is not the ‘cherry on the cake’. It is at the centre of everything we do. We run reading groups all over the country and we take these ideas into the labour and student movements. We cannot change society if we do not understand it.
