The draft programme of the Marxist League read: "…It is the rule of the Marxist League to spread the interest in Marxism, especially amongst middle class intellectuals, and create a band of trained Marxist intellectuals who will take up the ideological fight against imperialist and National Reformists and at the same time work in closest cooperation with the revolutionary movement of the masses of workers and peasants.
The Marxist League's plan was to promote Marxism, particularly among middle-class intellectuals, and cultivate a group of trained Marxist intellectuals who would engage in ideological combat against imperialist and National Reformist forces while collaborating closely with the revolutionary movement of workers and peasants.
