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

the traditional organizations of the working class. It also looks at issues such as Stalinism, Anarchism,

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!), print a bunch out and go to your local library or bookstore! In every book by Marxists or about Marxism, Socialism, or Communism, insert a copy! When people look for Marxist works at the library, they will find the flyer and this will lead them to our websites! Help spread the word at your local public, college, and highschool libraries and bookstores! You can also hand them out at protests, concerts, coffee shops, etc.! You can write your local contact info on there as well- a great way to make contacts for a discussion group.
