From France to Italy, we’ve seen huge general strikes erupt against austerity and the continued warmongering of the European ruling classes. How can we build for such a strike here in Britain?
The European mass movement must act as a wake-up call for the British trade union leaders, who have so far been passive. We invite our members and supporters to pass this motion at all levels of the labour movement.
Across Europe, millions have taken to the streets to protest the genocide in Gaza, alongside Israel’s assault on the flotilla last week. The RCP enthusiastically participated in protests in London, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Cardiff, Leeds and Sheffield. Block everything for Palestine!
Today marks two years of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. In this time, millions have taken to the streets of Britain to protest for Palestine. The movement is now at a crossroads. To advance, organised workers need to enter the scene en masse.
Former prime minister Tony Blair has risen from the dead to potentially oversee Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” in Gaza. The fact that this war criminal has anything to do with a so-called ‘peace’ plan exposes the cynical nature of the entire project.
The British establishment has leapt at the opportunity to exploit last week’s synagogue attack to further their own interests, and demonise the Palestine movement. Their hypocrisy and cynicism knows no bounds. Now is not the time to back down, but to fight back.
Last Friday was incredible. A political general strike against the genocide in Gaza shut down Italy. It is an enormous source of inspiration and possibility, with the conditions which arose to such a strike not being unique to Italy. We must draw the necessary lessons.
In this episode, we cover the Gen Z revolution from Madagascar to Morocco, student & worker mobilizations across Europe, the intensifying West Bank occupation, and how unions in Britain can help strengthen the movement to halt genocide.
At 6PM last night, Israel intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla. Spontaneous protests erupted across Italy with a general strike planned tomorrow. A national student strike has been called in Spain today. We say block everything! Shut it down for Palestine!
Last week, US President Donald Trump arrived at the UN for what was meant to be a 15-minute speech. Instead, he delivered a fiery hour-long rant, not against Russia or China, but Europe, harshly criticising America’s allies with unrelenting anger.
This Monday, a general strike against the genocide in Gaza shook Italy. In France, more than a million demonstrated last week. In Nepal, the government was overthrown. The masses arose in Indonesia. It is September 2025 and we are witnessing a revolutionary wave!
From Nepal, Sri Lanka, Kenya to Bangladesh, a revolutionary wave has blown across countries dominated by imperialism. Ben Curry analyses the meaning of this wave and the generalised lessons to be taken by revolutionaries.
