Focusing on the need for socialist consciousness, this book serves as a guide for militant organizers in the U.S. It emphasizes the dual role of these individuals as both activists and educators, equipping them to engage in various campaigns effectively. The chapters explore themes in Marxist educational praxis and draw on historical movements to inform contemporary practices. Additionally, two appendices offer practical tactics for studying, discussing, and teaching revolutionary ideas, enhancing the training of future revolutionary educators.

For punk rockers, music and art have often been used as tools for resisting and accommodating the interests of society's dominant classes. During the late 1970s, a predominantly white, male working/middle-class counterculture began to develop what is now known as punk rock. This book shows how punk rock serves to both subvert and accommodate the interest of late-capitalist American society by looking at the trends in the ideas, values, and beliefs transmitted through punk lyrical messages, specifically through the content of three punk record labels and how they have evolved over time. The impact of punk will continue because it is a product of the changing face of alternative cultural spaces - spaces that impact and are impacted by increasingly hostile and exploitive relationships between and within oppressor and oppressed groups.
