Far from being a neutral force standing above society, Marxists understand that the state is a tool for the suppression of one class by another. In this talk from the recent Marxist Student Federation summer school, Fiona Lali discusses the origins of the state, and refutes the views of the reformists and anarchists on this question.
In this session from the Revolution Festival 2024, Shaun Morris, Central Committee member of the RCP, discusses the cruel legacy of British imperialism in Ireland.
After WWII, the Soviet bureaucracy abolished capitalism and set up Stalinist regimes across Eastern Europe. In Yugoslavia, Tito broke from Moscow while maintaining a planned economy. During intense debates within the Fourth International, Ted Grant masterfully analysed these processes.
This weekend, RCP members will gather for our annual summer camp, where we will focus on the immense theoretical contributions made by Ted Grant, who kept the flame of genuine Marxism burning through to the 21st century, laying the foundations for our International.
