The crisis-ridden establishment has cynically leapt on yesterday’s UK Supreme Court ruling regarding the definition of a woman to whip up a divisive culture war. Workers and youth must unite and fight for revolution against the billionaire class.
A recent report found that one in ten women murdered in the last 15 years were killed by their son. Strikingly, most of these women were acting as carers for their adult children, filling in for services at breaking point.

While the liberal establishment and right-wing bigots argue over who protects women more, working-class women are more squeezed and vulnerable than ever. Communists have no faith in both sides of the toxic culture war. Only united class struggle can fight sexism!
Trump’s victory has meant the establishment and even some on the left have started to reject ‘woke’ identity politics.
Fiona and Daniel sit down and discuss where identity politics came from and how oppression must be fought with class-based methods.

Last weekend, thousands gathered across Britain to express anger at the rise of sexism, fuelled by figures like Andrew Tate and Donald Trump. RCP comrades found an appetite for revolutionary ideas on how to fight women’s oppression.
The Great Miners’ Strike, 40 years ago, saw working-class women fighting alongside striking men. This experience of united struggle began to cut away at sexism, providing a glimpse of how socialism could transform relations between men and women.
In this podcast, we sit down with Fiona Lali to discuss why far-right violence has swept Britain, the response from the labour movement, and the communist perspective on how we can smash the far right using class struggle methods.
