2025 has been a year of revolutions and mass movements.
From the "Gen Z revolutions" to the Italian general strikes for Gaza, to the "Block Everything" movement in France - the working class has shown it's capable of shaking society to the core. But in all these movements, despite tremendous bravery, nothing has fundamentally changed. The same oppressive conditions that fuelled the revolutions continue to persist, as capitalism remains intact.
History shows that the spontaneous uprising of the oppressed is not enough to change society for good. What's needed is a revolutionary organization, to crystallize the experiences of the past into a program and tactics, and lead the workers to victory.
This presentation was recorded at a public event organized by the University of Toronto chapter of the Revolutionary Communist Party.
For more talks like this, sign up for our Montreal Marxist Winter School. This year we'll have a total of 11 inspiring presentations on Marxist theory and history, revolving around the theme of Reform or Revolution. With over 600 participants from across the country last year, this is the event for anyone serious about changing society.
