The 2026 British Perspectives document – an outline of the British class struggle – was amended and passed unanimously by delegates of the Third Congress of the Revolutionary Communist Party in May 2026.
Green leader Zack Polanski recently gave a speech fleshing out his party’s economic programme, and how they plan to implement it. But taxing the rich and borrowing from capitalist creditors cannot solve the crisis of the system.
In this week’s edition of ‘Broken Britain’, readers of The Communist expose the parasites running water companies into the ground, the shoddy state of the UK’s transport infrastructure, and the impacts of the oil crisis on rural residents.
Though many in Scotland will hold their nose and vote SNP this May, there is no enthusiasm for any of the establishment parties’ Holyrood candidates. Beneath the surface of this apparent apathy is a burning class anger ready to erupt.
Yesterday, Keir Starmer banned Kanye West from performing in the UK for antisemitic remarks. But Starmer and his government are racists and war criminals, in both words and deeds. Nobody needs to take moral lessons from this hypocritical charlatan.
In four weeks, the RCP will open up its Third Congress, where hundreds of communists will gather to discuss British perspectives, and the tasks of the party. Political secretary Rob gives a preview of the draft perspectives document, outlining the main processes in the British class struggle.
While Starmer’s government slashes disability benefits, private companies are holding councils to ransom over special educational needs provision. In Kent, meanwhile, two students have died of meningitis. Capitalism has broken Britain.
With the conflict in Iran threatening to send prices skyrocketing for ordinary people, it is clear the capitalist class expects us to bear the brunt of capitalist chaos. Workers must get organised and strike to put an end to this hardship.
Reason is becoming unreason, as the corridors of Number 10 look increasingly like the inside of an asylum. Keir Starmer finds himself in the straitjacket of capitalism – and this madness is preparing the way for social explosions and revolutionary upheavals.
Last Saturday’s half-a-million-strong demonstration was undeniably a victory for the struggle against racism and reaction. Why was it so massive? And how can we channel this energy into a powerful movement against the entire capitalist establishment?
Desperate to maintain Britain’s relevance, successive governments have pledged to ramp up military spending – a promise that British capitalism cannot afford. The Iran war is now exposing that Britain has no independent military role to play on the world stage.
Two weeks ago, Unite voted to cut affiliation to Labour by 40 percent. As we wrote in issue 44 of The Communist, this is a step in the right direction – however, the trade union leaders have yet to break decisively with the government, and take the path of militant opposition.
