“I recently read the RCP’s article on Just Stop Oil and Youth Demand. It resonated with me as someone who has made the journey from Just Stop Oil and getting arrested for direct action, to revolutionary communism and class struggle.”
Across Europe, governments are hiking up ‘defence’ spending, whilst carrying out cuts and attacks on workers to pay for it. Rob Sewell explains the economics behind this ‘military Keynesianism’, and why it provides no way out for the capitalist system.
Just Stop Oil are ditching direct action. Youth Demand are ‘shutting down London’ in protest over Gaza and the climate. The RCP would like to open up a dialogue with activists about the programme, strategies, and tactics needed to overthrow the billionaire’s system.

New revelations from the Undercover Policing Inquiry have exposed the horrifying scale to which undercover police officers manipulated and abused women to spy on left-wing groups. We can have no faith in the rotten British state to deliver justice.
A new drama about the life of fascist leader Benito Mussolini masterfully illustrates the rise of fascism in Italy. Rather than focussing on individual psychology and ambition, this series depicts the process of revolution, counter-revolution, and opportunist betrayals.
The deepening crisis of world capitalism is resulting in imperialist conflict, war, and genocide. To end this hell on earth, we need to get rid of the capitalist system itself. In this talk from last year’s Revolution Festival, Lotta Angantyr discusses how to fight imperialism.
