Does Britain have free speech?
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.
Year one of the Russian Revolution
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.
Sudan: From Revolution to Barbarism
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.
Imperialism in the Middle East
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.
Will Farage be Britain’s Trump? | A World on Fire #11
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.
Is this the END of NATO?! | A World on Fire #10
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.
HANDS OFF VENEZUELA! | A World on Fire #9
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.
Europe in crisis: How workers can win
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.
Monopolies and imperialism: How big corporations dominate our lives
2026 has started with an almighty imperialist bang. Given the current actions of US imperialism, kidnapping the president of Venezuela and threatening the rest of Latin America and Greenland, it is clear that imperialism is something communists must understand.
Hands Off Venezuela!
On Saturday January 3 2026, Nicolas Maduro was kidnapped from his home by the United States. This is a clear act of imperialist aggression. But why is it happening? What does this mean for US imperialism, world capitalism, and countries like Venezuela?
What do communists say about migration?
While the media scapegoats and scaremongers, establishment politicians – from ‘progressive’ Starmer to populist Farage – are whipping up an anti-migrant culture war. But why is there a migration crisis in the first place? And what is the communist position? Leading RCP member Fiona Lali explores this topic.
