This Sunday, 8 March, is International Working Women’s Day. To mark this occasion, Lotta Angantyr examines the writings of so-called ‘Marxist feminist’ Silvia Federici, contrasting her ideas with the communist approach to fighting women’s oppression.

The capitalist establishment’s facade of caring about the safety of women has been shattered by the Epstein scandal. The truth is it is capitalism that breeds all of this violence, sexism, and abuse. We must organise to overthrow this toxic system!

Starmer’s spineless, bootlicking, hypocritical response to the latest US-Israeli attack on Iran demonstrates the tightrope he walks in British and world politics. We say: Hands off Iran! No to imperialist war! Starmer out! Down with their rotten system!

The United States and Israel have launched war on Iran which threatens to spiral out of control. The blame for this is entirely upon American imperialism and its allies. Communists are clear: Hands Off Iran – Down with western imperialism.

The Green Party’s victory in the Gorton & Denton by-election is yet another seismic shift in the landscape of British politics, and a sign of the polarisation and instability to come. We welcome this humiliating blow for Starmer’s Labour – but the Greens’ reformism offers no way out of the crisis.

Sir Keir Starmer thought he had a deal worked out to give the Chagos Islands ‘back’, in the interests of British and US imperialism. Donald Trump however had other ideas. Starmer faces humiliation, and the whole fiasco reveals where Britain really stands in the world.
