The freshers' fair campaign of the comrades of Der Funke/l’étincelle – the Swiss section of the International Marxist Tendency – has got off to a flying start. Campaign preparations were launched at a tremendously successful national Marxist school last weekend at which 80 comrades attended. On the back of that, starting yesterday and continuing today, comrades have been intervening, signing people up at four universities and one teachers' seminar.

The comrades have prepared for this campaign systematically, using the same visuals on posters and flyers at all universities, giving the Marxist tendency a distinct branding. The comrades' newspaper leads with a bold message with a simple message for new and returning students: “why you should become a communist today”. Comrades will be discussing its contents with students up and down the country.

This is just the beginning for the Swiss comrades of the IMT, who have further freshers fairs and initial public meetings yet to come, but they already have ambitious plans to establish numerous simultaneous reading circles for on the three component parts of Marxism. This will be a fantastic tool for organising, educating and consolidating a whole new layer of revolutionary student youth.
