Introducing Marxism is published by Socialist Alternative to explain the fundamentals of Marxism for anyone who wants to fight for a better world. Written from an unashamedly partisan perspective, this book offers a starting point for challenging capitalism and overturning oppression.

Using modern examples from Australia and the world, it aims to show that Marxism can make sense of this unjust and destructive world while also pointing to the solution: a workers' revolution that smashes the capitalist state and prepares the way for a society in which things are run for the needs of the many, not the profits of the few. This second edition has been fully updated to account for political developments since the book was first published.

This book is meant to be read as part of the introductory discussion groups run regularly by Socialist Alternative, Australia's biggest revolutionary socialist organisation. We have branches in most major cities and student clubs on university campuses across the country.
