Last weekend, RCP comrades in Wales and the West gathered to sharpen their understanding of Marxist fundamentals, the history of our tendency, and the path to revolution today.

A Revolutionary Communist is running in the Lancaster University Students’ Union election. With an onslaught of campus cuts and attacks on its way, RCP members are showing the way forward. “Fight the cuts! Scrap fees and rent! Vote Communist!”

In this episode of Communist Radio, Ben and Nelson talk about what will discussed at the RCP Congress in 2025.
In recent weeks, several regions of the Revolutionary Communist Party have organised cadre schools, to train leading members in the Marxist method. Raising the political level of the party is the key to connecting with Britain’s revolutionary youth.
