His books helped many new socialists

We have with deep sadness received the news of John Molyneux’s sudden passing. John was a great friend of the Danish group throughout our existence. At the annual Marxism event in London he always took time to talk to and support the comrades who came from Denmark. He has also been a guest at our Danish Marxisme.

His inspiration to us has been enormous. We have a whole range of his pamphlets and books—quite a few are translated— in our bookshop. His The Real Marxist Tradition has been sold to new comrades and been the starting point for many in their lives as revolutionary socialists. On a whole range of issues from philosophy to party building, he has been an inspiration.

This great person and Marxist will be sorely missed. We send our thoughts and condolences to his partner, family and close friends, and to all the comrades in the Irish Socialist Workers Network.
