Reason in revolt | Summer camp '25

Revolutionary Communist Party
About this episode

Marxism is not just a political programme—it is a scientific world outlook. At the RCP Summer Camp, Khaled Malachi explains the role of Marxist philosophy and why dialectical materialism is the most advanced method for understanding reality. From physics to biology, science confirms the revolutionary insights of Marxist dialectics. While bourgeois philosophers remain trapped in idealism and formal logic, Marxists uncover the processes of contradiction, transformation, and revolutionary change at the heart of nature and society.


This talk draws on the classic works Anti Duhring and Reason in Revolt, showing how Engels and Ted Grant applied Marxist philosophy to the latest developments in science. For those seeking to understand the unity of Marxist theory, modern physics, and revolutionary politics, Khaled’s talk demonstrates why dialectics is indispensable for communists fighting to overthrow capitalism today. It is a powerful introduction to the Marxist method, science, and the fight for socialism in the modern world.
