The supposedly ‘progressive’ left-leaning ‘New Statesman’ recently reported on the RCP’s hugely successful Revolution Festival. Sitting comfortably in their liberal bubble, these sneering journalists can’t make heads or tails of the real, revolutionary mood in society.
The Guardian recently published a trivial stink piece, claiming that revolutionary Friedrich Engels made exaggerated claims about the conditions of Manchester workers. Why do these liberal papers feel the need to criticise a theoretician who died over a century ago?
The latest discoveries from the Mars rover are our most promising signs of extraterrestrial life. But with funding for space agencies slashed, it’s unlikely we’ll retrieve these samples for decades. Other letters include: Sadiq Khan’s hypocrisy, and graduate visa trouble.
BBC Panorama’s undercover footage exposes deep-rooted racism, misogyny, and violence in the Met Police. While scandalous, this footage comes as a surprise to exactly no one – and hardly scratches the surface of this unsalvageable institution’s rot.
Britain is broken! In this issue of The Communist, our readers expose how the insatiable greed of the capitalists means that we are left to deal with toxic waste fires, council housing death traps, and soaring poverty.
In issue 33 readers expose Britain’s deep crises – from childcare burdens forcing grandparents into unpaid roles, to football clubs on the brink, unequal pay for the Lionesses, exploited Fringe workers, and job losses from Trump’s tariffs.

“Just like last summer’s riots, the police have proven useless in fighting off the far right. More often than not, they have protected these thugs from counter-protests. Clearly they have better things to be doing – such as locking up hundreds of peaceful Palestine protesters.”
In this issue of The Communist, our readers cover the rising costs of food, housing, and childcare; Rachel Reeves playing the knight in shining armour for crooked car dealers; Palestine solidarity repression; and how to really fight oppression.
The billionaire press has shared no shortage of lies and distortions this week. From blaming the doctors who look after us for the NHS crisis, to yet more BBC hypocrisy in their coverage on Gaza, here our readers ‘read between the lines’.
Readers expose the deep rot in Britain’s capitalist institutions – from the police and MI5 to local councils. They reveal how justice, safety, and safeguarding come second to profit and private property. The system protects abusers, punishes dissent, and puts the most vulnerable at risk.
12 days ago, after being spooked by popular support for New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, the Financial Times wrote in defence of billionaires. We respond to their false claims. Billionaires should not exist – we need a revolution against them and their system!
