The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) was formed in 1984 and brought together communist parties and organizations around the world determined to continue on the revolutionary road after the loss of socialism in China in 1976. Until it fell apart in the mid 2000s, the RIM functioned as the embryonic center of the international communist movement, inspiring an impressive journal, A World To Win, that was translated into multiple languages, and supporting revolutionary struggles around the world. Participant organizations in the RIM led revolutionary people’s wars in Peru and Nepal that became serious threats to bourgeois rule. Unfortunately, the RIM collapsed without any public statements explaining the reasons for its demise. This collection aims to popularize the political line and achievements of the RIM, upholding its revolutionary legacy and promoting the essential lessons we can learn from its history.
