Editorials from each issue of The Communist.
Protectionist trade wars. Jingoism and rearmament. Austerity and attacks on the working class… Did someone set the clock back to the 1930s? To combat the coming catastrophe, we need a global revolution against the billionaire class.
Rachel Reeves has just announced that the government will slash billions from the benefits bill. While the rich feast themselves, Labour are feeding workers and the poor into the meat-grinder. Make the billionaires pay for this crisis! For welfare, not warfare!
Starmer and the establishment are on a crusade of flag-waving jingoism: puffing out their chests on the world stage, and using the cover of militarism to prepare for attacks on workers at home. We say: down with these deluded warmongers!
Labour is under pressure from populists on either side of the Atlantic, with the capricious chaos of Donald Trump and the rising support for Farage’s Reform. We say: No to Starmer’s militarism and austerity! Overthrow this rotten system!
After decades of decline, British capitalism is particularly vulnerable to the instability that Trump and his ‘America First’ programme bring. The new president will inflame the political turmoil, radicalisation, and polarisation taking place in Britain.
Trump’s impending inauguration has him already wreaking havoc. Starmer is hated and oversees a government of crisis, leaving opportunities for ‘anti-establishment’ Reform to gain ground. We are entering a new disturbed era of world politics – buckle up!
With the NHS on the brink, pensioners’ winter fuel payments being cut, and the Labour leaders vowing to slash Britain’s benefits bill, it’s going to be a cold, harsh winter for the working class. Kick out capitalism’s Scrooges this Christmas!
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced her much-anticipated Budget today, promising to “restore economic stability” and “fix the foundations” of British capitalism. But with shocks raining down on the global economy, such hopes will soon turn to dust.
As Halloween approaches, a spectre is haunting Westminster – the spectre of economic instability, political chaos, and class struggle. But all of these horrors are hammering consciousness into shape: capitalism is producing its own gravediggers.
Starmer’s government has been one of crisis since day one – rocked by riots, rebellions, and scandals. All of this overshadowed this year’s party conference, spoiling the celebrations that the Labour leaders were expecting. But worse is yet to come.
This month sees a new year of freshers heading to UK campuses. This generation has known nothing but capitalist crisis, austerity, war, and environmental disaster. The system cannot be patched up. It must be overthrown. Join the communists today!
Discussing the parlous state of Britain’s public finances yesterday, Keir Starmer warned of “painful” times ahead for ordinary families. The working class is being asked to foot the bill for capitalism’s crisis. We say: make the billionaires pay!
