IIRE has signed a contract with the Dutch Foundation for Research and Education in Scientific Socialism (SOWS). The SOWS has decided to support the political and educational activities held at the Institute. Such activities include Youth, Women, Middle East, LGBTT and Climate Change
Schools and Seminars, plus IIRE publications. In return IIRE will ask it supporters to become a donor for SOWS. SOWS will use these funds exclusively for IIRE but decides on a yearly basis which activities of IIRE will be supported.
We encourage our readers to consider testament pledges and other donations. Suggested regular donations from IIRE friends are 25, 50 and 100 euros, but any donation will of course be appreciated.

A preliminary remark
The term scientific socialism did get a negative connotation due to the usages of this term in the Stalinist tradition for a system of mental rules that claimed to cover all human experiences, investigations and advancements.
As a result of this mechanical so-called dialectic materialism (Diamat), the revolutionary left turned away from the issue, developed a sometimes more, sometimes less adequate critique but did not counter it with a full answer to the real underlaying question of methodology.

The comprehensive aim of the IIRE after the relaunch is summarized in the vision of the IIRE: “The IIRE's vision is to become a dynamic and visible centre of research and education, a meeting place for activists and scholars, united in a common struggle for a world freed from all forms of exploitation and oppression.
