Arms manufacturer BAE Systems is ploughing hundreds of millions into educational outreach and youth centres, to funnel young people into the ‘defence’ sector. We say: No to the militarisation of the youth! Expropriate these war profiteers!
Across the Indian subcontinent, workers and youth are entering into struggle, as the latest expression of the ‘Gen Z’ revolutionary wave. The conditions which led to these explosions – corruption, youth unemployment, and misery – exist all across the world, including here in Britain.
The satirical Cockroach Janta Party unleashed nationwide protests putting the fear of god into strongman Narendra Modi. What does this movement mean? Where is it going? Most importantly we urge: No retreat until Modi falls!
“We must demand the impossible, demand the future, and not let anything get in our way.” These words summed up our most inspiring RCP Summer Camp to date. Here, national organiser Khaled Malachi reviews the event, and sets out our tasks for the coming months.
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.

Communist candidates in Cardiff and Sheffield won hundreds of votes in recent student union elections, by pointing the blame at the university bosses, the billionaires, and their system. Plus: reports from campus rallies on Iran, debates with Tories, and more.
Young people are facing a youth ‘jobpocalypse’. 700,000 are unemployed whilst fewer than 10,000 graduate jobs exist. We must end this anarchic system that throws the youth onto the scrapheap of history for simply being born at the wrong time.
Jamie Bradshaw was arrested for a pro-Palestine speech on campus. In response, UCL Communists called a rally demanding his reinstatement this Monday. We are happy to announce since, Jamie has been unsuspended. Now he must be fully reinstated!
Reform is raising a hue and cry over their supposed ‘right’ to speak at universities. But if students decide they don’t want pro-austerity, pro-genocide politicians on their campus, they have the right to mobilise in protest. That is the free speech we’re interested in.
In yet another egregious attack on the Palestine movement and free speech, Met Police officers have arrested a leading RCP student activist at a pro-Palestine demonstration at UCL. Join our protest at 7pm at Charing Cross Police Station.
George Finch – Reform’s 19-year-old Warwickshire Council leader – provoked protest after attending a talk at Warwick University. While students grilled him on the inside, activists outside picketed the venue. RCP comrades intervened on the ground.
