Introductory Note: As Marxists, we believe that the mastery of dialectical materialism is key to the success of the class struggle. This article explains what dialectical materialism is, and why it is so vital to our political method.

Humanists for Revolutionary Socialism was founded in 2008 by a group of former members of the now-defunct organization Workers’ Voice (formerly RTL, formerly RTT), and carries on its political tradition. To that end, our website includes scanned copies of selected articles from International Trotskyist, our predecessor group’s theoretical journal. Clicking on the article title above will open it as a PDF file, which you can read online or print. To open the file, you will need a PDF reader, such as Adobe Reader® (available as a free download from Adobe’s Website).
Note: The article "Dialectics and Revolution" is also available, in print and on our website (here), as part of our pamphlet, Dialectics, Alienation & Revolution, published in January 2010. The version in the pamphlet is the same as that originally published in International Trotskyist No. 10, but scanning glitches have been cleaned up.
