Socialist Media Outlets
Discover the power of socialist media with this comprehensive guide. In general, socialist outlets include those outlets that incorporate a Marxist understanding of economics and wealth distribution. So learn how to find these outlets and connect with like-minded individuals to effect change.

Socialist media use social media platforms to promote socialist ideals and connect with others who share those beliefs. Consequently, we will explore the power of these outlets to effect change and connect with like-minded individuals.
The Socialist Newspaper
If you’re looking for news and analysis from a socialist media perspective, there are a number of publications that can provide you with the information you need. So from in-depth reporting to opinion pieces and analysis, these newspapers offer a range of content for progressive readers. Here are the top must-read socialist newspapers.
However, paper editions of many publications are becoming less in number, as readers embrace the online world. Red Flag for example has a website and podcasts regularly informing subscribers.
Socialist Podcasts
Revolutionary left outlets are those outlets that have an uncompromising commitment to implementing neo-Marxist economic policies that re-distribute wealth.
Many active in the socialist media have embraced podcasting. Consequently, they use podcasts to promote an overthrow of the existing order through revolution. This is achieved by organising the working class to rise up and seize control.
Indeed a number of Socialist Podcasts have emerged over recent years. These include a number of revolutionary socialist podcasts, such as This is Revolution and Counterpunch.
Socialist ideology embraces solidarity and collectivism. Formerly, back biting, bickering and factional infighting has undermined the socialist project many times in history. However, we express solidarity with other socialists and encourage you to support the below podcasts.
- Democracy at Work
- Green Left Podcast
- Serious Danger
- CounterPunch
- Jacobin Radio
- The Sensible Socialist
- The Socialist Program with Brian Becker

Socialist Magazines
Two good socialist magazines are New Internationalist and The Progressive Magazine. Another leftist magazine that has been around since 1954 is called simply Dissent.
The Monthly Review is an Independent socialist magazine that began publication in New York City in May 1949. The first issue featured the article “Why Socialism?” by Albert Einstein.
Socialist Social Media
Social media platforms can be powerful tools for activism and advocacy. Further, by connecting with like-minded individuals and sharing information and resources, you can effect change and raise awareness about important issues.
When using social media for activism, it’s important to be strategic and intentional about your messaging and goals. Therefore, use your platform to amplify the voices of marginalised communities and to call attention to injustices and inequalities.
Don’t be afraid to take risks and push boundaries, but always prioritise safety and respect for others. With dedication and persistence, socialist social media can be a powerful force for positive change.
Revolutionary Socialist Media
Revolutionary Socialist Media (RSM) is dedicated to revolutionary socialism, proletarian internationalism and the struggle for a worldwide communist society. RSM is anti-Stalinist and rejects the former Union of Socialist Soviet Republics and the People’s Republic of China, as socialist (”communist”) countries. Socialism cannot be build in one nation or by a centralised single party state.
