Check out the Spring 2017 issue of Revolutionary Democracy

A new issue of the communist journal Revolutionary Democracy, published twice a year in India (in English), but covering issues from around the world, has been published.  The publisher describes it as "a theoretical and political journal," mainly covering "problems facing the communist movement, particularly relating to Russia, China and India, the origins of modern revisionism, the restoration of capitalism in the USSR and developments in the international communist movement." The contents are below.  Ordering from the US distributor below costs $6 dollars (contact the distributor for the cost if ordering from outside the US), sent by check (made out to George Gruenthal), money order, or cash to:
