Full Marx
‘Full Marx’ from the Marx Memorial Library appears in the Morning Star, bringing Marxism in easily digestible “bite size” articles. These can be accessed by their titles, by exploring one of the five themes – economics, environment, history, philosophy and revolution – or by scrolling through questions and issues raised at MML education events.
You can read online or download articles – they are excellent for group discussions

What the Paper Says
The Morning Star presents a broad range of opinion from across the spectrum of the working class and progressive movement – with the Trades Unions at its heart and head. By decision of the reader shareholders of the Morning Star, the paper’s editorial policy is led by Britain’s Road to Socialism – the program of the Communist Party, and its daily editorial is written with this very firmly in mind.
Marx Memorial Library & Workers’ School
Marx Memorial Library & Workers’ School was founded in 1933 with the aim of advancing education, knowledge and learning in all aspects of the science of Marxism, the history of Socialism and the working class movement. The Library’s education programme – online and onsite – examines subjects ranging from Marxist political economy to socialist art.
From the General Secretary of GFTU, Doug Nicholls
“The General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU) is a completely independent non-partisan provider of quality education for workers and trade unionists. It locates all learning subjects in the context of wider social concerns and the relationship between labour and capital and adopts an imaginative approach to teaching and learning often involving the arts and collective learning methods. It works also in conjunction with the Workers’ Education Association and details of all their events and courses can be found on www.gftu.org.uk.”
From the CPB Political Education Commission
“The Communist Party is very committed to the renewed development of working class political education in the Trade Union movement and is very grateful to GFTU to allowing us to link to its high quality education programme. Of course we wish to point out that not all its content will necessarily reflect our Party’s analysis and positions.”
