In the run-up to next week’s NATO summit, Starmer’s Labour has announced more new plans to ramp up military spending, using the threat of a ‘Russian invasion’ to carry out attacks on workers at home. Down with militarism! For welfare, not warfare!
In response to Trump’s brutal campaign against immigrant workers and families, demonstrations have erupted across the United States. The ground is being prepared for a massive upheaval, and one spark could turn into a mass conflagration.
Israel’s latest act of aggression against Iran has once again stirred the hypocritical chorus of warmongers in Westminster. The task of Communists is to expose the crimes of Netanyahu, Starmer, and British imperialism; and to fight for international socialism, starting at home.
In its first year of power, Starmer’s ‘electoral fortress’ has suffered the same sorry fate as the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic. With stormier waters ahead, Reeves’ Spending Review is merely rearranging the deckchairs on a sinking ship. Time to throw these capitalist shills overboard!
The recent Unison NEC elections saw the left-wing ‘Time for Real Change’ lose seven seats, with the right wing gaining ground. In order to galvanise rank-and-file members, the left must campaign widely for a fighting programme against austerity and attacks.
Netanyahu is betting his political future on a regional conflagration — escalating the Gaza genocide into an all‑out war with Iran, dragging US imperialism along to save his skin. The Israeli PM now masks his genocidal ambitions behind ‘defence’ rhetoric and global powers have followed in tow. The working class must resist being dragged into capitalist bloodletting.
Legendary musician Brian Wilson has passed away at the age of 82. He leaves behind a legacy of revolutionising his craft, proving through his songwriting and production that pop music can be an art form in its own right.
Global debt has tripled since 2007 and has been a lifeline for the tottering capitalist system. Now as debts mature amidst tariffs, inflation, high interest rates and stagnant economic growth this could spell disaster for the capitalists as they seek to pass on the burden of their crisis ridden system to the working class.
Far from being a ‘decentralised’ alternative to money, the cryptocurrency industry has been embraced and centralised by the bankers and capitalists as yet another means of speculation. The entire system must be overthrown if we’re going to ever see an end to this insanity.
Last month, US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on films “produced in foreign lands” coming into the USA . Although unclear what this will amount to, it only looks set to create more uncertainty and pain for the 195,000 film workers in the UK.
This Monday, the IDF seized a sailboat carrying aid to Gaza, and deported those on board including climate activist Greta Thunberg. This latest criminal act has once again exposed the western leaders’ hypocrisy, and has sparked to an outpouring of anger internationally.
Written under Napoleon’s dictatorship, Gounod’s 1859 operatic version of ‘Faust’ contains none of the literary and philosophical soul of Goethe’s 1808 masterpiece. What is left is little more than a reactionary celebration of Catholicism and the French state.
