Social class, exploitation and struggle: why are workers a revolutionary class?
About this session

Who has the power to overthrow capitalism and create socialism? Marxists argue that it’s the working class. Despite attempts to say this is an old-fashioned concept, workers still make the world go round. They make all the wealth that ends up in the pockets of the billionaires. This means that they uniquely have the potential to bring this system down and create a world fit for humanity.
