Capitalism is in a deep crisis – perhaps the deepest in history. Meanwhile, establishment politicians are all singing from the same hymn sheet, and the reformist ‘left’ leaders have no solutions. The RCP is raising an army of communists, ready to wage war on the system.
We sat down with Fiona Lali, leading member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, to discuss the launch of her pamphlet ‘Why You Should be a Communist’. We also publish an extract from the pamphlet, which will play a key role in the RCP’s summer recruitment drive.
In 1848, Europe was plunged into revolutionary struggle. It was in context that the young Marx and Engels laid the foundations of scientific socialism. Alongside the famous Communist Manifesto, they used the revolutionary press to analyse the unfolding struggle.
Ben, Lotta, Mia, and Peter sit down to discuss Lenin’s masterpiece: The State & Revolution. Written just before the events of October 1917, it is the sharpest analysis of the state, and a rebuttal of reformist and anarchist illusions.
For our second instalment of the series ‘Here to fight, Here to Stay!’ we go to Preston. This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Preston Red Scar Mill Strike which saw the first immigrant strike in Britain. The inspiring struggle raised many questions including if black workers should fight separately.
In his masterpiece ‘Imperialism’, Lenin explained how the monopolies and banks rule over us, engendering conflict, chaos, and crisis. Today’s tumultuous situation is proof of this analysis. We need a revolution to expropriate the billionaires.
Announced yesterday, mainstream media have been going gaga for new pope Leo XIV. Yet the Church remains full of scandals, crises, and is riven with factionalism. A changing of the guard at the top offers no solutions, as the reign of Pope Francis illustrates.
Yesterday, the Indian Air Force carried out military attacks in Pakistan. The two countries are once again at war, using the question of Kashmir to cut across their own internal class divisions. We say: Only class war can end all wars!
This VE Day, we publish the editorial by Alan Woods from the latest issue of the Revolutionary Communist International’s quarterly theoretical journal, In Defence of Marxism, which cuts through the bourgeois propaganda surrounding WW2.
On the anniversary of the Bristol Bus Boycott, we present ‘Here to fight here to stay’ – a series on Britain’s anti-racist struggles. The boycott marked the first significant anti-racist victory in Britain’s post-war period, and provides crucial and inspiring lessons today.
“I recently read the RCP’s article on Just Stop Oil and Youth Demand. It resonated with me as someone who has made the journey from Just Stop Oil and getting arrested for direct action, to revolutionary communism and class struggle.”
Across Europe, governments are hiking up ‘defence’ spending, whilst carrying out cuts and attacks on workers to pay for it. Rob Sewell explains the economics behind this ‘military Keynesianism’, and why it provides no way out for the capitalist system.
