What Next?

What Next? is a discussion journal aimed at those who are interested in actively responding to the bankruptcy of the world capitalist system by fighting to re- establish revolutionary Marxism, as Lenin and Trotsky did for their time. The collapse of the regimes in the Soviet bloc signals a new historical period which demands Marxist analysis as a guide to action through open discussion uninhibited by sectarianism and phrasemongering.

The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for such discussion. In order to create the conditions for this, our editorial policy is broad. Comments and contributions will be welcomed.
