Pamphlets

  • Dialectical Materialism
    This YFIS pamphlet contains three basic articles on dialectics - the philosophical method of Marxism - including Trotsky's ABC of Materialist Dialectics. A great introduction to the ideas of Marxism! Print it out today, or order copies from the Wellred store!
  • Marxism and the State
    Use this short pamphlet in your local discussion group to introduce your comrades and contacts to the Marxist theory of the state.  Print out the cover on colored paper (print on one side), and then print out the rest of the pages on white paper, double sided.  Staple together, and sell at branch meetings or other events for $1.   This will help ensure that all comrades have access to the material, and will help raise financial resources for YFIS.  For more information on starting a discussion group click here
  • If America Should Go Communist and Workshop Talks
    These two short articles by Leon Trotsky and James Connoly are a great, humorous introduction to the ideas of socialism. They give us a hint as to how communist society would look in a country like the United States, and also provide us with ideas on how to discuss with people who are skeptical of Marxism and Socialism. Now available as a YFIS pamphlet/study guide! Open up these files in Microsoft Word and print them out for use at discussion groups for public sales!
  • On the Mass Organizations - Letter to the Russian Marxists
    This excellent letter from Ted Grant provides many historical examples explaining the importance of orienting towards the traditional organizations of the working class. It also looks at issues such as Stalinism, Anarchism, the collapse of the USSR, conditions in Russia today and the revolutionary perspectives for the future. Also available online here.

Leaflets and Flyers

  • For a mass party of labor with class-independent and socialist policies!
    This year, we are once again faced with an election with no real choices for working people. We need a mass party based on the working class which will defend the interests of working people. Join the fight for the creation of such a party! Use this flyer to spread the ideas of YFIS and agitate for a mass workers' party!
  • Learn More About Marxism
    Copy this flyer, make copies (preferably on red paper!), and print a bunch out and go to your local library! In every book by Marxists or about Marxism or Communism, insert a copy! When people look for Marxist works at the library, they will find the flyer and lead them to our websites! Help spread the word at your local public, college, and highschool libraries! You can also hand them out at protests, concerts, coffee shops, etc.! Available as .doc or .pdf.
  • Who We Are and What We Fight For
    We have produced a tri-fold leaflet called: "Youth for International Socialism: who we are and what we fight for!" Print them out on red paper and start recruiting! Available as .doc or .pdf.

To receive a printed copy of any of these pamphelts, leaflet, and flyers so you can spread the word about Marxism and YFIS, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
