SNP goes mad for war
For all their progressive posturing, the leaders of the Scottish National Party are subservient to Washington. The independence movement can only retain its progressive character on an anti-imperialist and working-class basis.

While Labour ramps up austerity, trade union leaders have endorsed the government’s militarism, naively believing that this will create jobs and economic growth for British workers. We say: No trust in Starmer! Fight the bosses and warmongers head on!
The crisis of capitalism has brought attacks on the rights of women. Capitalism has failed women through austerity and imperialist warmongering. This episode of Communist Radio is about the real heritage of International Working Women’s Day.
In the latest issue of The Communist, we received a letter from an arms factory worker, an exposé of an abusive Labour minister, a report from a strike at a Manchester restaurant, as well as experiences from the frontlines of the NHS crisis.
Starmer and the establishment are on a crusade of flag-waving jingoism: puffing out their chests on the world stage, and using the cover of militarism to prepare for attacks on workers at home. We say: down with these deluded warmongers!
Starmer’s cuts to foreign aid have caused backlash among his ranks and within the liberal establishment. But both sides of this furore are merely trying to salvage Britain’s declining power. We say: No to militarism! Down with liberal hypocrisy!
Keir Starmer wants to put thousands of British “boots on the ground” to ‘keep the peace’ in Ukraine, while pledging to spend billions more on ‘defence’. We say: no to Starmer’s militarism and austerity! For healthcare, not warfare! Books not bombs!
Birmingham University contributed to one of humanity’s most devastating weapons: the atomic bomb. The university’s role in war research and military innovation is something the uni bosses proudly boast about. We say: science should serve humanity, not militarism!
In this episode, taken from the Books Not Bombs rally at Revolution Festival 2024, Fiona Lali, leading RCP member, and Antonio Balmer, leading member of the Revolutionary Communists of America, discuss the revolutionary struggle to end imperialism today.
UK universities like to portray themselves as neutral, apolitical institutions. But from ties to the ‘defence’ sector and British intelligence, to attacks on free speech and pro-Palestine voices, it’s clear that the university bosses are servants of imperialism.
This Remembrance Day, the communists will honour those whose lives have been scandalously sacrificed in the interests of imperialism, by redoubling our efforts to end this capitalist nightmare once and for all. Workers of the world, unite!
We are proud to announce the release of a new booklet, ‘The Crimes of British Imperialism’’. We publish here the introduction, which explains how British imperialism went from being an empire that ruled the waves, to its role today.
