Socialism on the Ballot

Socialism on the Ballot is a show hosted by Midwestern Marx's editor Calla Winchell where socialist and communist candidates from around the US are interviewed about their campaigns, the struggles plaguing their communities, and the connection these have with the problems faced by the working masses around the country. Its aim is to promote and give voice to socialist candidates running for office outside of the Democratic Party. You can see the whole playlist HERE, or click on a recent episode below to watch. 


Pioneers of American Socialism

Pioneers of American Socialism is a podcast documentary series headed by Midwestern Marx editor and historian Mitchell K. Jones in which various 19th century US socialist communities are explored.

American Socialism Travels

American Socialism Travels is a project started by our Editorial Board member Mitchell K Jones which urges writers to visit, photograph, and write about sites relevant to the rich history of American socialism and communism. From the standpoint of a personal narrative of the trip, articles should include a historical and theoretical analysis of the location and a contextualization of it to our present struggles as American Marxists. Click HERE to read the travel entries. 

About Us​

Originally organized in the Midwestern United States, we noticed  through our participation in our communities that there is a clear divide between the Socialists in the US and the working class.  Among a variety of factors for such a phenomenon, we consider the abandoned conception of the working class as the revolutionary agent to be one of the central ones.

​​We stand opposed to this and consider the working class to be the heart of where our revolutionary struggle must be built from. A detailed description of our principles can be seen HERE.
