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.

Britain’s failed invasion of Egypt in 1956 symbolised the end of Britain’s role as a major world power. With British imperialism facing another ‘Suez moment’ in Ukraine, we republish here our analysis of this ‘forgotten war’, written to mark the 60th anniversary in 2016.

Under the guise of ‘maintaining peace’, imperialist governments are racing to rearm. The jingoistic establishment insists that workers and the poor should shoulder the costs, through savage cuts to social spending. We must fight militarism with socialist revolution!
