About

Background info

The Revolutionary Student Movement, student front of Toronto’s Proletarian Revolutionary Action Committee, aims to promote a revolutionary communist politics on campus and fight capitalist oppression in all of its forms. We’re a young organization; we came together in 2011. We have been very active. Our membership is small, but we have many sympathizers.

Our aims

We are dedicated to social research and investigation.

In order for us to develop a communist culture and practice on the U of
T campus and beyond, we will facilitate for a mass-line education, together with internal 
investigation of relevant communist texts.

We plan to use our research to launch stronger revolutionary student campaigns, with the goal of connecting to 
peoples struggles locally and internationally.

We strive to offer a real alternative to the liberalism, revisionism and reformism that currently paralyzes  youth and student movements in Toronto and beyond.

Additionally, we strive to move beyond dogmatism and academia, and to remain self-critical.

We are also committed to combating class essentialist tendencies by connecting class politics to race, gender and sexuality.

Our past programs

Our program for Sept. 2011 to March 2012 included creating and facilitating a ‘communist night schools’ based on a MLM-based syllabus. We discussed issues including women’s liberation, militancy within student movements, Canadian imperialism, the people’s war in India, class politics and sexuality, proletarian feminism, and much more.

News

We are currently organizing a multi-city conference with the intention of connecting revolutionary students from Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and New York.

We are also working on a project called the “100 Schools Campaign”. The plan is to reach out to high-school students of proletarian backgrounds. More details TBA.
