Struggle: A Magazine of Proletarian Revolutionary Literature
Struggle: A Magazine of Proletarian Revolutionary Literature began its literary life in 1985 as a vehicle for poetry, fiction, illustrations, and other writings from members of the Marxist-Leninist Party, USA, Detroit branch. Edited by Tim Hall, the journal often resonated with the disenchanted and disaffected working class. Struggle sought to highlight the literature by and for that audience while encouraging a wide range of rebellious viewpoints to spark critical dialogue challenging the tenets of capitalism.
Struggle was inspired by two publications preceding it: The Anvil and The Rebel Poet, both edited at one point by Jack Conroy. Conroy believed the American working class to be an underused fount of literary production. He worked with radical writers, anarchists, communists, and other revolutionary groups to create an artistic coalition of “regular people” who could develop and promote proletarian literature. This literature focused on pro-socialist, anti-capitalist messages and had a particular resonance in the United States during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
