Pamphlets

Going Against the Tide’s pamphlet series

People always were and always will be the foolish victims of deceit and self-deceit in politics until they learn to discover the interests of some class or another behind all moral, religious, political, and social phrases, declarations, and promises. The supporters of reforms and improvements will always be fooled by the defenders of the old order until they realize that every old institution, however barbarous and rotten it may appear to be, is maintained by the forces of the ruling classes.

-Lenin

If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

-Malcolm X

Going Against the Tide’s pamphlet series consists of content intended for a proletarian audience asking questions about the nature of the system we live under, looking for answers about how we can radically transform this society, but having to fight off all the bourgeois bullshit shoved down our throats by the politicians, the bourgeois media, most preachers, and “experts” with TikTok accounts. Pamphlets by Going Against the Tide show how the workings of capitalism-imperialism are behind all the social problems in our world, address the debates raging among the masses from a communist perspective, and point to revolutionary solutions. Their aim is to develop and deepen the class-consciousness of the proletarian masses who can rise above me-first ideology, the social war for survival they are thrown into with each other, and the brainwash of bourgeois ideology to become a revolutionary people.

All of the below pamphlets are available as PDFs for download and mass distribution. These pamphlets address a wider audience than the more theory-heavy articles in our journal, and revolutionaries should make use of these pamphlets in our political work among the proletariat. Whether setting up propaganda tables with these pamphlets in proletarian neighborhoods and transportation hubs, keeping some handy whenever you’re out doing political work, or distributing them at mass meetings, Going Against the Tide’s pamphlets are ideological and political weapons in our arsenal to transform the consciousness of the people. And to broaden the array of pamphlets available, if you have an idea for one, hit us up. The more thoroughly we can address the questions and concerns of the masses from a communist perspective, the more we’ll be able to move people away from the grip of bourgeois ideology towards proletarian class-consciousness.
