What is the Marxism mailing list?
The
Marxism list is a worldwide moderated forum for activists and scholars in
the Marxist tradition who favor a
non-sectarian and non-dogmatic approach. It puts a premium on independent
thought and rigorous but civil debate. While it is a high-volume list, it
has a very good "signal to noise" ratio. It is also globally
representative, with subscribers from over 15 different countries. For an
idea of the sort of discussion that takes place on the list, examine
highlights to the immediate left, or review the historical archives.
A brief history of Marxmail can be read here.
****
Even if
you do not decide to subscribe, we invite you to take advantage of the
resources collected on these web pages.
There is an extensive collection of
links, organized by
topic.
Words of struggle
contains passages from writings and speeches by great Marxist writers and
revolutionary leaders, and other surprising sources.
If you want to look at facts and
figures that indict capitalist society, go to Facts about the system.
We also include self-incriminating words of the ruling class captured when
their guard is down. The source for facts and quotes, in most cases, is
the mainstream media itself.
Frequently asked
questions about Marxism and socialism, and their answers, are a good
place to go if you are a relative new-comer to these topics. Or if you
need to have your memory refreshed.
Finally, we offer images of
paintings and other works of art by people committed to social change in
our Art
Gallery.

Technical Notes for Posting to
Marxmail--Important
|
Unlike other email lists, Marxmail has some
rules that we are fairly strict about. Number one, you must post in plain
text rather than styled text (i.e., html) since styled text, which allows
you to use colored fonts, etc., imposes a heavy bandwidth overhead. Number
two, if you are replying to a previous posting, you must clip all text
that is not relevant to your reply. This also helps to restrict bandwidth
to the exchange of useful information. Information on these and other
posting rules can be found here.
Our technical coordinator Les Schaffer is responsible for enforcing these
rules and can be contacted at schaffer@optonline.net
if you need assistance.
