Help us raise £15,000

Our new book, Antonio Gramsci: Working-Class Revolutionary, is now available to buy from radical bookstores, online and from local AWL branches.

A public launch meeting for the book, featuring presentations from its editor Martin Thomas, and contributor Peter Thomas (author of The Gramscian Moment), will take place in London on Wednesday 31 October.

In publishing the book, we aim to re-assert the class-struggle soul of Gramsci’s politics, an immense contribution to revolutionary strategy and thought.

Gramsci’s is a legacy much distorted by Stalinist, “neo-Marxist”, “post-Marxist”, and quasi-post-modern claims on him, all contending that the real lesson of Gramsci’s work is that workplace-based struggle between workers and bosses must somehow be left behind, moved beyond, or replaced as the defining core of revolutionary politics.

Publishing the book is part of our ongoing attempt to put class and class struggle back at the heart not only of how Gramsci’s legacy is understood, but at the heart of what it means to be left-wing.

That is one of the fundamental reasons the Alliance for Workers’ Liberty exists. But we are only able to exist, to publish books, and carry out our other work because of the financial support of those who agree with that project.
