News and updates about the activity of the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Over the past week – as the youth-led mass struggle against corruption and unemployment in India grew in size and strength – RCP members attended and helped organise solidarity demonstrations across Britain. We publish their reports here.
A former Reform voter who grew up in a household which parroted the racist ideas of the reactionary British establishment shares their journey towards revolutionary communism. We also hear from an emerging communist in Hull and the disappointment of ‘Hope not hate’.
Comrades of the Revolutionary Communist Party have joined protests across the country in recent days in solidarity with the mass movement taking place in ‘Azad’ Kashmir. We hear here from demonstrations in London, Birmingham, and Manchester.
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.
Last Saturday was the 140th annual Durham Miners gala. This year was marked by a visible lack of political direction or ideas. Nevertheless, union members have been taking individual initiatives and the RCP in the North-East had our largest ever fringe meeting.
Tomorrow is the Durham Miners’ Gala, the largest trade union event in Europe. The annual gala however has become a talking shop for leaders of the left and trade unions. What we really need is not just talk, but real action!
The Revolutionary Communist International is going from strength to strength across the globe. Here, we include recent updates from sections in Europe, as well as the upcoming World School of Communism, which will feature watch parties across Britain.
Members of the RCP Central Committee travelled across the country to discuss the rise and decline of US imperialism, the failures of popular frontism and its politics today, and to look forwards to even more inspiring initiatives to reach the most radical youth.
‘I attended an anti-racist counter-demonstration last Saturday, by myself. All I had on me was The Communist and some leaflets. But I was able to stand out from the moralism of the main organisers, and won over a group of young people to communist ideas.’
In Birmingham, workers and youth outnumbered Britain First five-to-one. But this victory came in spite of the left’s leadership. Meanwhile, anti-racists successfully disrupted Tommy Robinson’s Oxford Union appearance. In both places, the Communists took bold initiatives.
Workers, youth, and anti-racists came out in force last weekend, humiliating the small groups that the far right mustered. But these victories were won despite the weak politics and methods of Stand Up to Racism. The RCP is showing the way forward.
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!
