300 racist masked men rampaged through Glasgow last week. Parliamentary statements in Holyrood are not enough to clear this menace. They were met by 7000 anti-racists on the weekend showing the real balance of forces. This is the real way forward.
Nine years after the Grenfell fire, not one of the corporate criminals responsible for the deaths of 72 people has been brought to justice. Thousands still remain trapped in homes covered in flammable cladding. We say, expropriate the lot!
These riots must be met with action, not just words. We call on community leaders and those with authority to set up community defence organisations, and call demonstrations to physically oppose the right. Down with all the racists, warmongers, and billionaires!
Nigel Farage called for “pure, cold rage” last week, in response to the killing of Henry Nowak. With violence in Southampton, Belfast, and Glasgow, he’s got what he asked for. But what lies behind Reform’s reactionary provocations? And where will it lead?
Belfast is gripped by the worst violence the city has seen in over a decade. The blame lies with right-wing demagogues, British imperialism, and the entire system. Workers must mobilise to destroy the right – and tear their racist system down!
We are proud to announce Ehsan Ali, Chairman of the Awami Action Committee Gilgit-Baltistan (AAC-GB), and a leading comrade of the Inqalabi Communist Party (RCP) Pakistan has been freed from jail! Long live international solidarity!
In this edition of Ask The Communist, leading members of the Revolutionary Communist Party answer your questions: Do communists oppose AI? What would a communist party do with the monarchy? And how do communists approach the trade unions?
A 1974 documentary on the 1926 British General Strike has been recently rediscovered by Platform Films’ Chris Reeves. The documentary which includes interviews and testimonies from those involved brings this historic class battle to life.
This past weekend, members of the RCP mobilised across Britain for a nationwide ‘Super Saturday’ of selling and recruiting. This was far from a one-off event. We say: stop scrolling – start organising! Hit the streets with the RCP today!
The Renters’ Rights Act came into law last month, promising a ‘once in a generation’ transformation of renting. In truth, its changes barely scratch the surface of Britain’s housing crisis. We need to break with the landlords and their system.
Early on Saturday morning, comrade Anne Marie Forster lost her long struggle against cancer. An energetic and intelligent working-class woman, she was part of the small group who stayed loyal to the ideas of genuine Marxism throughout decades of difficulty.
The Epstein scandal has obliterated public trust in Britain’s core institutions: the monarchy, the police, Parliament, and the rest. Millions of people are even more convinced than they were before that the system is rigged, and the state is rotten to the core.
