Thirteen weeks ago, at our Second Congress, we set ourselves a bold target: to recruit 200 communists to the ranks of the RCP by the end of July.
Having met our target with just days to go, we have crossed the finish line with 211 new recruits! This is just one sign of the growing revolutionary mood taking shape in society.
After such a sprint, it’s vital that we pause, catch our breath, and prepare for the next phase. With a new academic term and the upcoming Corbyn-Sultana party conference on the horizon this autumn, now is the time to take stock and regroup for the battles ahead.
We must use this moment to develop ourselves and our comrades politically, theoretically, and practically; to reach out to the many thousands who are searching for a revolutionary alternative to this broken system.
In that spirit, the first Congress of the Revolutionary Communist International is taking place this week, running up until 7 August. This event offers the most comprehensive analysis of the global situation today. Across the country, comrades are gathering in watch parties to absorb these discussions and sharpen our political clarity for the period to come.

August will also be a time for studying the fundamentals. At the top of everyone’s reading list should be the recently republished The History of British Trotskyism and Marxist Classics Vol. 1 – essential reading for any comrade serious about party building and defending the genuine ideas of Marxism.

To the 200 new recruits: welcome to your party.
And to those who have yet to join: there has never been a better time to become an organised communist.
