The second reading is 'Creating and sustaining
communities of struggle' (2005) by Alan Sears.
Here Sears develops the idea of an 'infrastructure of dissent' that helps to build working-class solidarity and support people engaged in struggle.

The first reading is the 'General Rules of the International Workingmen's Association' (1864).
Drafted by Karl Marx, the Rules outline the guiding principles behind the first major attempt to organise workers' movements internationally.

Politicians trying to win over the working-class vote by pandering to the right are barking up the wrong tree and frankly don’t seem to have a clue. Sign up to @PoliticalEdProj and watch the 10 week course and do the readings. Learn!
