It is over a week now since the Bangladeshi masses forced Sheikh Hasina to flee the country. The ruling class is manoeuvring, attempting to preserve the rotten regime. To advance the revolution, workers and students must trust only in themselves.
After a short hiatus during the pandemic, demand for travel and holidays continues to rise. Protests are breaking out in popular destinations, as residents get pushed out by sightseers. To make tourism sustainable, we need socialist planning.
Stock prices have been on a rollercoaster ride over the last week, in response to fears about the US and global economy. Capitalism’s accumulated contradictions are beginning to burst to the surface. A new slump looms, with explosive consequences.
Continuing sabre-rattling between Israel and its regional rivals threatens to spill over into a wider conflagration across the Middle East, pulling in Lebanon, Iran, and the big imperialist powers. Only revolution can put an end to this nightmare.
The students and workers of Bangladesh have successfully overthrown the murderous Sheikh Hasina. We say all power to the workers’ and students’ committees! No trust in the army or the ruling class’ parties!
A heroic mass movement of students has erupted in Bangladesh, against the hated Hasina regime and its policies. Protestors have faced severe repression and smears. We, the Revolutionary Communist International, are mobilising in solidarity.
In another dramatic twist in US politics, Joe Biden has ended his reelection campaign. His likely successor, Kamala Harris, is yet another devotee of capitalism, and is unlikely to beat Trump in November. The only way forward is to build a mass communist party.
Given all the combustible material accumulated in American society, the assassination of Donald Trump could have been the spark for explosive events. Only a genuinely revolutionary alternative can channel workers’ anger, and offer a real way forward.
Keir Starmer has lost no time in proving his loyalty to western imperialism: reaffirming the ‘special relationship’ with Washington; promising to increase military spending; and bolstering British support for Ukraine. We say: for books, not bombs!
The near-miss attempt to assassinate Donald Trump will pour petrol on the fires of instability and polarisation that are damaging US capitalism and its institutions. Only a clear class perspective can offer an alternative to this barbaric system.
Those in Britain attempting to show solidarity with Palestine continue to face repression at the hands of the state. Students are being spied on by university authorities, and prominent activists are being arrested. But we will not be silenced!
Following Fiona Lali’s inspiring election campaign, the RCP is launching a new national campaign to mobilise young people against British imperialism, and to overthrow the warmongers responsible for death and destruction. Get organised today!
