From rail to healthcare, vital services are being suffocated by the parasitic ruling class. Starmer’s Labour offer no solutions. To overturn decades of capitalist decline, we say: expropriate the billionaires!
Claude McKay, an immigrant from Jamaica, was a poet of the 1920s and 30s Harlem Renaissance in the US. Through his poetry he stood as a steadfast advocate for the American working class, confident in its capacity for change.
Beneath the surface, anger is rising within the labour movement. From teachers to doctors to bin workers, the industrial struggle will likely sharpen in the coming months. Workers need a political struggle against Starmer and the entire billionaires’ system, writes Ben Gliniecki.
Last month, the Pakistani state arrested leading members of the Awaami Action Committee – including RCI comrades – for mobilising against the ruling class’s robbery of the people. We call on our readers to support the solidarity campaign to free our comrades!
This Saturday, tens of thousands – including hundreds of RCP comrades – will march in London against austerity. Starmer and Reeves are facing growing opposition to their programme of cuts. The communists call for revolution against the billionaires!
With the Ukraine war well into its third year, a Russian victory is inescapable. Trump is trying to secure a deal in order for US imperialism to withdraw, but the European leaders are desperately dragging out this bloody conflict, for their own cynical, imperialist ends.
A recent poll has predicted that Reform could soon become the main opposition in Scotland, despite never having won a Scottish Parliament seat before. This reflects the deep anti-establishment mood in Scotland, and disillusionment with the ruling SNP.
A new book by a Belfast-based investigative journalist exposes a covered-up child sexual abuse scandal – involving the monarchy, MI5, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and the Loyalist establishment. The British state is rotten, depraved, and abusive – right to the very top.
Here, we review two novels by Soviet sci-fi pioneers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. ‘Roadside Picnic’, a story of an alien visitation to Earth, is a thoughtful reflection on philosophy, technology, and human nature, while ‘Hard to be a God’ depicts cosmic class struggle.
A debate has erupted over the scaling-back of festivals in a South London park. This has been whipped-up into an ‘old-vs-young’, ‘gentrifier-vs-local’ culture war divide. But if we get rid of capitalism, we can have good parks, affordable housing, and cultural events!
The British establishment has ramped up its witch hunt against Kneecap, with band member Mo Chara charged with a terror offence. The RCI opposes this blatant political attack, which is nothing but a distraction from the ruling class’s crimes in Palestine and at home.
After 19 months of backing Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, Starmer and Lammy have begun to shed crocodile tears about the latest horrors being inflicted on the Palestine people. The Labour leaders cannot be trusted. Down with the war criminals!
