Last week the High Court ruled that Palestine Action could no longer be brandished as terrorism, coming after the inability to find a jury which would sentence the activists. Both the harsh repression from the British state and the inability to put this repression into practise in a systematic way shows the mess the British ruling class is in. Here we share Nelson Wan, RCP executive committee member speaking on this topic at our 2025 Revolution Festival.
The Russian Revolution was the greatest event in human history, where the workers took power into their hands and grasped the state. But revolution is never a one act drama, it is a transition from one mode of production into another. This means that the revolution does not create socialism or communism overnight. The was abundantly clear in Russia, with its underdeveloped economy. This was the topic of a discussion at the latest Central Committee meeting of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Listen to the talk, by executive committee member Daniel Morley, here.
Friedrich Engels once said ‘bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism.’ In many countries, this barbarism is already upon us.

On Saturday January 3 2026, Nicolas Maduro was kidnapped from his home by the United States. This is a clear act of imperialist aggression. But why is it happening? What does this mean for US imperialism, world capitalism, and countries like Venezuela?
While the media scapegoats and scaremongers, establishment politicians – from ‘progressive’ Starmer to populist Farage – are whipping up an anti-migrant culture war. But why is there a migration crisis in the first place? And what is the communist position? Leading RCP member Fiona Lali explores this topic.
What is Christianity, and where did it come from? Alan Woods, theoretical leader of the RCI, discusses the origins of Christianity, from its early radical start, through to the bureaucratisation of the Church, and how the faith was used to colonise the world.
From this year’s Revolution Festival, Peter Kwasiborski, introduces Shostakovich.
Lenin and Trotsky stand as two of the most slandered men in history. Whether from the bourgeois, or from the Stalinists, their ideas are constantly misappropriated. Stalinists have spent a century trying to divide Lenin and Trotsky. But was there really any difference between their ideas? In this talk, Olivia Ruadh, RCP Central Committee member, explains the real legacy of Lenin and Trotsky
