Bolshevik finance | Communist Party of Britain Marxist-Leninist | real utopias | Scoop.it

The need for a financial system that supports British national industrial development is becoming a regular topic of conversation throughout the country. How to run industry and finance without capitalism was one of the things the Bolsheviks learned how to do in the Soviet Union after the October Revolution, and we can learn something from studying how they did it.
