In this rousing and insightful speech, Joti outlines some features of Marx's work and doctrine that make him of particular relevance to workers in struggle today.

She explains how Lenin complemented and extended his work, in particular with concrete organisational theory as well as developing the tactics of the democratic and socialist revolutions, and in particular explaining the way capitalism has developed towards monopoly, concentration of capital at one pole and impoverishing the vast masses of humanity, dominating of the entire world's territory and markets and constantly driving towards re-division and war.

It is this understanding of imperialism as a world system of exploitation and domination by a handful of rich billionaires, countries and armies that allows us to understand why Marxists today should support the 'bourgeois' sovereign government of president Assad of Syria, and his and the Syrian people's struggle against destabilisation and overthrow by the US, NATO, EU imperialists and their regional and religious fundamentalist proxies.
