About us

The Peoples School for Marxist-Leninist Studies is part of a long line of American Communist Party sponsored schools, such as the Jefferson School of Social Science, Center for Marxist Education and People’s School for Marxist Studies.

The PSMLS was initiated by and is sponsored by the Party of Communists USA, but it is not a party school, which allows a wide variety of perspectives to be brought forward and discussed which don’t necessarily reflect the party line.

We hold classes online every week on Tuesdays at 8 pm EST/5 pm PST and Thursdays at 9 pm EST/6 pm PST. These are public classes on Zoom that are organized into sections of presentations, and discussion periods. Join our classes and participate in collective education!
