August 27th – Molotov-Ribbentropp Pact
Join the Peoples School at 8 pm EST on Tuesday, August 27th as we discuss the Molotov Ribbentropp Pact. It is a commonly confused concept. Bourgeois educational and cultural institutions generally claim that the Molotov-Ribbentropp Non-Aggression Pact was an alliance between Nazi Germany and Soviet Union in their “shared conquest of Europe”. This is categorically false. The Soviet Union understood the threat of Nazism and Fascism early on and spared no effort in building an anti-fascist collective security agreement with the bourgeois democracies of Britain and France in the decade leading up to WWII. Britain and France as well as their allies refused to sign a collective security agreement and instead opted to a policy of appeasement with Hitler. To bide time in order to build up its industrial base, the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact with Germany. Join us as we go into further detail on this controversial topic. Please join us tonight at 8 pm EST/5 pm PST to learn more.

If you’re new to PSMLS, the school provides free public collective education every week on Tuesday on a variety of topics from a Marxist-Leninist perspective. You don’t have to be a member of anything or identify as any certain ideology to attend. The PSMLS is a Party of Communists USA initiated and sponsored school, but it is not a party school, which is great because it allows for a wide variety of different perspectives and opinions to be brought forth which don’t necessarily reflect the party line. If you are interested, you can join the PCUSA as an associate member at https://partyofcommunistsusa.net/join-the-pcusa/ or just check them out at partyofcommunistsusa.net.
Help spread the word about the Peoples School by spreading our propaganda! You can find printable flyers, stickers, business cards and brochures at peoplesschool.us/media, and you can post them up, leave them somewhere or hand them out to other working class Americans. Feel free to take a picture of them being distributed show we can show our propaganda being spread across the nation! You can also promote the school AND support us by buying our Peoples School for Marxist-Leninist Studies merchandise from our CafePress store linked at peoplesschool.us/store. You can find PSMLS apparel, phone accessories, magnets, stickers, pins, office supplies, cups and more there and you can also find the storefront of our sponsor, the Party of Communists USA there as well.
As always, be sure to support our partner publishing house, New Outlook Publishers! They have many books on Marxism-Leninism and contributions from fellow travelers of the communist movement as well. They also have texts compiled and published from commissions and other bodies of the Party of Communists USA, and are putting out the new releases of recently continued works of old like The Communist and New Masses. You can find them at newoutlookpublishers.store and when you purchase from New Outlook Publishers, you support the PCUSA and the PSMLS!
