I wanted to make this site as a means of collecting things I find important to my development as a Leninist, and as marxists.org, the main inspiration for this site (along with redsails.org, which is not trotskyist), has a distinctly trotskyist tinge to it despite it being an immensely valubale site, I figured creating a markedly anti-revisionist catalogue, with a slightly narrower scope compared to the overwhelming amount of texts avaliable to read on marxists.org, would be a worthwhile project.
For a long while, the only exposure I had to Marxism was in text. I would study, re-study, re-examine, analyze, and do everything I could to build knowledge. Since getting organized with a compentent revolutionary party, and meeting other organized communists, I've better internalized the use of theory to a revolutionary movement. If you wish to improve the conditions of the proletariat, your goal should not be to arm yourself with trivia, but useful knowledge, knowledge that can be learned from, and most importantly applied to your practice as a revolutionary. This site does not exist to inspire you to hole yourself up in your room, reading until you've absorbed the sum of all Marxist thought since the publishing of the manifesto, but to supply you with basic principles to help you develop understanding of the roots of revolutionary movements, how to analyze and act, and to give an overview of Marxism as it is in the present day, present time. Marxism is not dead, has never been dead, and will never die so long as there are oppressed peoples fighting for liberation.
We should treat this living movement not as a corpse to dissect, but something living and breathing; as the revolutionary movement is made of the revolutionaries, and the proletariat is as alive as ever. Get organized!
*** I am a Marxist-Leninist, working-class student living in the United States. I'm white-ish and transmisogyny affected, currently organized as a communist, and have been working in single-issue organizing for about 5 years. Do keep that in mind when reading my work and getting my opinion. I speak English and German comfortably, and am learning Spanish. Camarada is curated almost entirely by myself, and was made directly in the neocities editor. It is, to the best of my knowledge, responsive and mobile friendly. I do my best to keep acessibility in mind, but if you run into any issues with the site, please leave a comment on my neocities profile, and I'll adress it as soon as I'm able to. This site currently has visits, and was created (in its current iteration) on May 1st of 2025, on International Workers' Day. I do my best to update the site regularly, but there is no set schedule that I adhere to when working on the pages.
The following are things I plan to write or add to the archive soon. To submit ideas for works or ask questions, send them to (at) (dot), or send me an ask at on Tumblr.
