They synthesize lessons from the OCR’s collective practice and the broader experience of the communist tradition. Their purpose is to to train up the next generation of communist cadre in the skills, methods, and critical thinking required to develop the proletarian class-consciousness, fighting capacity, and organization of the masses and build the subjective forces for revolution. The manuals on agitation and summation were first published in the journal kites, while the rest of the content in this volume first appeared in print in the journal Going Against the Tide. All content in this volume is available in the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/goingagainstthetide.org\/library\/ocr-training-manuals\/\"\u003elibrary section of goingagainstthetide.org\u003c\/a\u003e.
