What is Polar Marxism?

The theory in brief

Polar Marxism is a Marxist scientific-practical theory that develops Marxism for the modern world by explaining history through the polar relation between capital and anticapital.

It treats capital and anticapital as two opposite directions of world development. Capital develops through imperialist concentration: it gathers wealth, power, resources, and historical initiative in the center while turning the periphery into a dependent and degraded zone. Anticapital develops from the opposite movement: the periphery begins to resist imperialism, retain its own resources, build socialist / RDP forms of power, and transform dependency into independent historical development.

Polar Marxism studies socialism as the real historical form of anticapital. The Soviet Union, China, and the future New World represent different stages in the development of the Revolutionary Dictatorship of the Proletariat (RDP): from the gross economy of RDP of the First Type, through the anti-market economy of RDP of the Second Type, toward the network economy of RDP of the Third Type.

What this Substack will publish

This Substack is the publication platform of Polar Marxism. It will publish essays, notes, diagrams, theoretical updates, and short explanations that develop the language of polar Marxism and connect it with practical organization. Its aim is to help form an international movement of polar Marxists—the New Ones—around the theory and practice of the New World.

Start from the main website

The main archive of Polar Marxism is available on the official website. It contains the core texts, glossary, diagrams, and theoretical materials of the project.
