During our autumn growth campaign, the Party has received various questions about Marxist theory, revolutionary history, and communist tactics. In our first instalment of Ask The Communist, we cover Stalinism, the USSR, Mao, and the vanguard party.

In 1948, the Israeli state was founded, and millions of Palestinians were expelled from their homeland. Scandalously, the Stalinist bureaucracy supported the creation of Israel – a move which had a disastrous impact on the world communist movement.

On 20 August 1940, Leon Trotsky was mortally wounded by one of Stalin’s agents, in an attempt to extinguish the flame of genuine Marxism that he represented. But you cannot kill an idea. We defend and maintain this revolutionary heritage today.
