 Cuban Revolution' 1961 literacy campaign. Thousands of young volunteers hold up giant pencils.

Art & Culture.

‟Culture is a social phenomenon. Just because of this, language, as the organ of intercourse between men, is its most important instrument. The culture of language itself is the most important condition for the growth of all branches of culture, especially science and art...Yes, culture was the main instrument of class oppression. But it also, and only it, can become the instrument of socialist emancipation.″ —LEON TROTSKY, 1926

Photo: Thousands of young literacy brigade volunteers join December 1961 “rally of the pencils” in Havana, Cuba to celebrate successful completion of year-long campaign to teach 1 million peasants and workers to read and write.

Are They Rich Because They're Smart?

Product Description

Explains the sharpening class inequalities in the United States and the resulting conflicts accelerated by today’s slow-burning world depression. It takes apart the self-serving rationalizations of a growing layer of well-paid professionals that their schooling and “brightness” equip them to “regulate” the lives of working people, who can’t be trusted to know what’s in our own interests.

In the coming battles forced upon us by the capitalist rulers, says Jack Barnes, workers will begin to transform ourselves and our attitudes toward life, work, and each other. Only then will we discover our own worth and learn what we’re capable of becoming.
