    After twenty-two years, the International Socialist Review, a project of the Center for Economic Research and Social Change (CERSC), suspended publication in 2019. CERSC is committed to maintaining the archive of ISR articles at ISReview.org.

    We thank our subscribers, readers, and authors for their contributions and support. We hope that other publications will continue to carry the legacy of Marxist theory, analysis, and politics to future radicalizing generations.

    Thank you for your support.
