a radical journal of politics,history and culture
My name is Brian Lyons and this is my blog. For reasons explained in the About page, it is named Black Dwarf after its namesake which was published during the social and democratic upheaval which marked early 19th century Britain. The journal was revived for a brief period of time during the worker and youth radicalisation of the late 1960s.
Whilst this latest endeavour does not promote any political party, its content is entirely based on an internationalist working class perspective championed by the Third International during the time of Lenin and Trotsky.
As such, the articles on written by myself will be supplemented by an archive of selected works by some of the most outstanding working class leaders and thinkers of the last 2 centuries.
In every instance, the aim is to arm current and future generations with the knowledge and tools to tackle the most burning questions of our time.
