Britain’s Austerity Generation | A World on Fire #4
Austerity has shaped the lives of young people in Britain today. This generation has grown up surrounded by war, the pandemic and the cost of living crisis – in this episode, we discuss how British capitalism is making the youth revolutionary.
How to free Palestine
The genocide of Palestinians over the last 2 years has become a lightening rod for all the accumulated anger in society. People have been exposed to the bombing of hospitals, videos of mothers pulling their babies from the rubble and the vile response from governments internationally – that Israel ‘has the right to defend itself’. Since October 7th 2023, millions across the world have come out to defend Palestine with demonstrations and encampments. It is clear that more is needed. The general strike in Italy has shown the way forward. Speaking at a meeting of the RCP in Central London, Fiona Lali lays out how the Palestine movement can be successful and the job of communists in achieving this.

The rise and fall of the Fourth International
The rise and fall of the Fourth International is one of the most important lessons for communists today.

Ted Grant’s sharp criticisms of the opportunism and sectarianism of the leadership are more relevant than ever for revolutionaries seeking to rebuild genuine Marxism.
