External links

Please note that the views expressed in the resources linked here are not necessarily reflective of or endorsed by the World Socialist Movement. In particular, many of these resources use words such as "socialism", "communism", and "Marxism" in a way that conflicts with our understanding of the terms. Nonetheless, these links may be helpful in understanding certain aspects of socialist theory or history, and the difference between our view of socialism and the views held by other groups.
