In June, hundreds of revolutionaries from all over the world gathered in Italy for the founding conference of the Revolutionary Communist International, with thousands more participating online. In addition to officially establishing our new International, the conference was a school of communism, with around 20 sessions on all aspects of our theory, history and thought. This podcast series provides recordings of all of the speeches from the founding conference of the RCI.

Together, these talks represent the complete programme of our international.
