As events escalated in the Middle East over the weekend, Britain found itself unceremoniously dragged into another criminal conflict. Despite Donald Trump’s evident contempt for “Sir” Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister has fallen right in line behind the latest US-Israeli attack on Iran.
Fatalistic, teleological, class reductionist, Messianic… there’s no end to the high-sounding mutilations that Marx’s ideas receive at the hands of their adversaries. In this podcast, Jack Tye Wilson combats these attacks, and uncovers Marx and Engels’ rich insights into the historical process.
The Epstein files have finally lifted the veil on the most prolific grooming gang in the history of capitalism. While figures like Keir Starmer attempt to wash their hands of the fallout, the reality is clear: this grubby network of businessmen, bankers, royals, and billionaires isn’t an anomaly. It is a core feature of the day-to-day running of the capitalist state.

Last week the High Court ruled that Palestine Action could no longer be brandished as terrorism, coming after the inability to find a jury which would sentence the activists. Both the harsh repression from the British state and the inability to put this repression into practise in a systematic way shows the mess the British ruling class is in. Here we share Nelson Wan, RCP executive committee member speaking on this topic at our 2025 Revolution Festival.
The Russian Revolution was the greatest event in human history, where the workers took power into their hands and grasped the state. But revolution is never a one act drama, it is a transition from one mode of production into another. This means that the revolution does not create socialism or communism overnight. The was abundantly clear in Russia, with its underdeveloped economy. This was the topic of a discussion at the latest Central Committee meeting of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Listen to the talk, by executive committee member Daniel Morley, here.
Friedrich Engels once said ‘bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism.’ In many countries, this barbarism is already upon us. This is the topic of the latest In Defence of Marxism magazine. Here we share the author of the lead article, Thomas Soud, discussing his lead article on the Sudanese revolution and counter revolution of 2019.
The middle east has been the playground of western imperialism for decades. With tensions raising in Iran, and western imperialism attempting to use this for its own gains, it is the job of communists to understand the role of imperialism in this region.
With the political centre in collapse and Labour struggling to maintain an image of control, we discuss to what extent Nigel Farage can truly emulate the Trump model.
Meanwhile, a major showdown looms in Gorton and Denton between Reform and the Greens. As many ask if Farage is “Britain’s Trump,” we examine whether the Green Party’s message of “Hope” is enough to halt Reform’s momentum.
Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland have effectively taken a bulldozer to NATO and all other western institutions. Despite Keir Starmer’s speeches and diplomatic efforts, he appears powerless to bridge the growing divide between Europe and the United States.
Britain has pushed for regime change in Venezuela for decades. Though Britain played no direct role in the criminal abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US forces, the UK government has offered its tacit support.
In September and October 2025, two million workers came to the streets of Italy to fight against the genocide in Palestine. Leading RCI member Jorge Martín outlines the current crisis in Europe and how to fight it.
