And on the twelfth day of Marxmas, we give to you a video on the Spanish Revolution of the 1930s. The Spanish Revolution and fight against fascism was a brutal battle taking place across Spain. Workers from other countries came out in solidarity, fighting in the international brigades.
In 1911, school students joined the class struggle en masse, taking their lead from the organised working class. Both then and now, the radicalisation of the youth terrifies the ruling class.
Trotsky's fundamental work Results and Prospects, was written in 1906 after the failed Russian Revolution. The theory he laid out in this work came to be known as the Permanent Revolution.

As the festive break begins, it's a perfect time to get stuck into a good book. Alongside reading Marxist classics by writers like Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky, here are some revolutionary fiction titles which we heartily recommend.
