Is Marxism a science? The poverty of Popper

Marxist Voice ·

2023/05/19

Karl Popper dedicated his life to dressing up very commonplace arguments against socialism with philosophical and political critiques. The most famous one was to claim that Marxism is not scientific, since it does not satisfy his ‘falsifiability criterion’. Marx’s insights, therefore, did not make any serious advance from the utopian socialists that preceded him. In this episode of Marxist Voice, Khaled Malachi defends the scientific status of Marxism, and reveals the faults in Popper’s one-sided

Israel-Palestine: a revolutionary way forward

Marxist Voice ·

2023/05/11

15 May marks 75 since the 'Nakba', a campaign of terror against Palestinians, led by Zionist paramilitaries as part of the proclamation of Israel in 1948. This resulted in over 700,000 Palestinians being expelled from their land. And it paved the way for the chaos that has engulfed Israel-Palestine ever since. Today, Palestinians continue to suffer under the iron heel of the Israeli imperialist state. In this episode of Marxist Voice, Khaled Malachi outlines the history of the Israel-Palestine

The monarchy: a weapon of the ruling class

Marxist Voice ·

2023/05/05

With the coronation of Charles III around the corner, many workers and youth are responding with apathy and revulsion at this royal circus. But is the British monarchy just a feudal relic, or does it play a more important role for the ruling class? In this episode of Marxist Voice, Jack Tye Wilson discusses the real role that the monarchy plays, as a reserve weapon that can and will be deployed to defend capitalism against the growing class struggle. 📚 Leon Trotsky discusses the role of the

Marxist Voice ·

2023/04/28

The crisis of capitalism is not just an economic and political crisis. It is a crisis of culture, of art, and of science. Mysticism and idealism are increasingly being reflected in the sciences. In this episode of Marxist Voice, Ben Curry puts forward a defence of materialism: against idealist interpretations of quantum mechanics, mystical theories of consciousness, Big Bang creationism, and many other examples of the garbage that passes today as ‘science’. 🔗 Read more about Marxism and science

The menace of inflation: Where it comes from and how...

Marxist Voice ·

2023/04/19

Over the last year, a spectre that was thought by many to be dead-and-buried has returned with a vengeance: the spectre of inflation. Across the world, prices continue to soar. And yet, whilst the capitalists profit from scarcity and shortages, the ruling class scandalously blames workers and their pay demands for causing a ‘wage-price spiral’. In this episode of Marxist Voice, Adam Booth explains the real causes behind inflation, and presents a revolutionary alternative to this menace and

Why Marxists oppose NATO

Marxist Voice ·

2023/04/05

NATO was founded in 1949, not as an instrument of peace, but as a weapon of the Western imperialists to fight the Cold War. It has remained a weapon of Western imperialism ever since. In this session, Lotta Angantyr will explain the real role and history of NATO and why Marxists are irreconcilably opposed to NATO, as part of our struggle against imperialism and for genuine proletarian internationalism. 🌐 Check out the 'imperialism and war' section of our education hub over on Socialist Appeal's

Could America go communist?

Marxist Voice ·

2023/03/30

Class struggle is back on the agenda in the USA. Workers at Amazon, Starbucks, Apple, and elsewhere are beginning to organise and unionise. Workers and youth are becoming increasingly radicalised - looking way beyond the Democrats and left-wingers such as Bernie Sanders, and are instead openly identifying as ‘communist’. These developments have important implications for the perspectives for world revolution. A mass movement of the working class in America, the biggest imperialist power on the

The Russian revolution made colossal steps in the fight for women's liberation, far greater than any other movement - today or in history.

Profits vs peace: War and imperialism

Marxist Voice ·

2023/02/22

Amidst the carnage of the First World War, Lenin characterised capitalism as “horror without end”. Today, the grim truth of that statement can be seen in the proliferation of brutal conflicts around the world from the industrial slaughter of civilians in Yemen, to the intensification of the proxy war between NATO and Russia in Ukraine.

Marxist Voice ·

2023/02/15

From 1925 to 1927, the young Chinese working class waged a revolutionary struggle against the decaying order of the warlords and imperialists.

The 1930s Great Depression: Could it happen again?

Marxist Voice ·

2023/02/08

The Great Depression was the most severe crisis of the capitalist system in the 20th century. In the years following the Wall Street Crash, industrial production in the West collapsed, and world trade dried up. The impact of the depression on the working class and poor was severe. Millions across the world faced unemployment, destitution, and hunger. After the initial shock of the crisis passed, workers became increasingly radicalised around the world.
