Farmers in Wales are protesting en masse against the Welsh government. Organised under the slogan ‘no farmers – no food’, thousands have been involved in meetings and direct action. Workers everywhere should take inspiration from their militancy.
New musical ‘Cable Street’ does an excellent job of portraying the eponymous 1936 battle, when the working-class community in East London rose up to block Mosley’s fascist thugs in their tracks. These inspiring events are full of lessons for today.
In every issue of The Communist, we carry news on the latest strikes and struggles in Britain. In this week’s paper, comrades highlight disputes in Scottish colleges, Liverpool museums, and Birmingham council. First up: a report from an RMT member.
The Tories are facing the prospect of another humiliating by-election, with MP Scott Benton suspended for his willingness to sway Parliament on behalf of betting firms. This reveals the pernicious influence of the gambling industry on politics.
In episode two of ‘Towards the RCP’, we discuss why we have launched ‘The Communist’ newspaper, how we can use it as a tool to build the Party, and how we can pave the way for a weekly Communist paper.
The self-immolation of US Airman Aaron Bushnell in protest of the imperialist slaughter of Gaza has been met by an immense outpouring of sympathy across the world. A revolutionary mood is brewing everywhere, this must be channelled by a clear communist programme and organisation.
Britain’s strike wave may have ebbed. But battles are still breaking out across the country, with junior doctors on the picket lines, and other workers taking action. Examples of solidarity in South Wales show the way forward for these struggles.
In the latest issue of The Communist, out this week, comrades review two recent cinema releases: Jonathan Glazer’s Auschwitz drama ‘The Zone of Interest’, and Romanian black comedy ‘Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World’.
Israel’s war on Gaza has exposed the hypocrisy of the western ‘rules-based order’, and demonstrated the impotence of the United Nations and the international laws it adjudicates. In reality, the UN is nothing more than a tool of imperialism.
While millions suffer in Gaza, establishment politicians in Britain are busy engaging in nauseating parliamentary games. These Westminster warmongers only care about their own narrow interests. We say: Sweep them out! Join the communists!
We are proud to defend the ideas of genuine communism, and to establish a new revolutionary paper and party on these foundations. It is necessary to answer any myths and lies, however, and explain the real methods and traditions that we uphold.
This May, we are launching the Revolutionary Communist Party. To prepare for this, we are looking back on the history of our organisation – including this inspiring episode when comrades made a splash with a bold by-election campaign in South Wales.
