So, what do we think about the International Marxist Tendency? The most common criticisms from 5m of searching reddit comments have to do with being overly devout to IMT's founder and accusations of being tankies. But this podcast on the 100th anniversary of USSR's founding is really good. Especially helpful for lessons that can be applied in the US.

@mike I'm at the beginning of Capital (about 100 pages in) and also am reading Mike Davis's book on Marx. Don't know what the IMT is. Can you give me the short version?

@BinaryBolshevik @mike Yeah, I took a look. The usual stuff. Very big on revolution as inevitable, no mention of Marx's main work, Capital.

@jkrumm All I know is what I see on their website but those negative comments popped up. Just found them searching for socialist periodicals. https://socialistrevolution.org/
