Last month, anti-racist ‘unity marches’ were held across Britain. But this opportunity for a show of strength was squandered by an unserious approach and liberal politics. The revolutionary communists stood out, attracting reformist opposition.
Comedian Vittorio Angelone’s recent vile rape joke, and the subsequent fallout, has triggered a certain #MeToo moment in the stand-up comedy scene, which has been called a ‘boys club’. Under capitalism, comedy is always at risk of being poisoned by these reactionary ideas.
Less than a month after Jason Arday’s death, Cambridge University was mired in another scandal. The former head of policy for Reform, James Orr, is using the University to recruit students. But we can’t trust this ‘respectable’ institution to get rid of racists.
Racist demagogues are stirring up riots. The establishment is spewing out divisive culture-war bigotry. The struggle against racism is radicalising millions of young people in Britain. The RCP wants to connect with this growing radical mood – and we need your help!
Following a week of far-right mobilisations, the left, including the Portsmouth RCP, organised a counter demonstration against this reaction. The past week shows the clear and urgent need for class-based methods to clear this reaction off our streets.
Sarah Vedrovitch examines Federici’s ideas on housework, social reproduction and the origins of capitalism, comparing them with the revolutionary conclusions of Marx and Engels on freeing women.

SNP leader John Swinney has called another ‘anti-far right summit’ in the wake of the racist violence this summer, and the rise of Reform. But this talking shop of class collaboration will solve nothing – we need a revolutionary alternative.
A vicious, racist harassment campaign by the establishment media has led to the tragic death of black Cambridge professor Jason Arday. This fiasco had nothing to do with academic integrity, and everything to do with sowing racist culture-war division.
On 18 July, Britain First led a rally at Norwich City Hall in the name of ‘protecting women and girls’. The mood at the counter-protest that we co-led was militant, and we successfully demoralised their lot. We made it clear that racists weren’t welcome.
The Socialist Workers Party and its fronts have held a monopoly on the anti-racist struggle for decades. Yet they have nothing to show for this. We examine why: because of their theoretical mistakes on racism, fascism, tactics, and the method of Marxism.
Reform recently announced plans for a ‘Women and Motherhood Protection Act’. Besides distracting from sexism accusations against Reform candidates, this ‘pro-mother, pro-family’ proposal would attack women’s equality and rights.
Last weekend, the Yorkshire region of the RCP held a successful anti-fascist day school, to politically prepare themselves to lead the anti-racist movement in the region. Meanwhile, the Scotland RCP held its third Scottish Conference on perspectives and tasks for the coming period.
