Being a YFIS member will give you an opportunity to join an organization of like-minded youth and workers fighting for socialism all over the world. Capitalism long ago ceased being progressive for the vast majority of humanity. YFISers take concrete action in spreading the ideas of Marxism and defending the interests of the working class. We don't just discuss socialism - we fight for it! For more information on the differences between the Workers International League (YFIS' "parent" organization, and YFIS, please click here.

Once you have looked over the website carefully, in particular the About Us and Marxism FAQ (see in particular: Cuba, Guerrillaism, Terrorism, Stalinism) sections, and are in general agreement with our ideas, principles, and goals, you should consider becoming a member! Being a member means more than just talking about the ideas of Marxism. It is very important that all comrades spend time reading the classic works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky and keep up on current events (there is always up to date analysis from a Marxist perspective on the website!). In addition to that, joining or forming a local discussion/action group, educating others, recruiting new YFISers, and getting actively involved in local, national and international labor and solidarity issues should be a given!

When you join, we will send you a welcome e-mail, will try and put you in contact with a discussion group near you, and if there isn't one - don't worry - we'll help you get one started! Remember, the two most important things you can do are educate yourself and others, and get involved in the local labor and youth movement! We are also always looking for new articles for Socialist Appeal and ideas on how to make this website better. So please let us know what you think - Y.F.I.S. can only be as good as its supporters and contributors!
