Spain’s housing crisis has erupted into half a million out on the streets demanding a general strike. We spoke with Irene, a comrade of Organización Comunista Revolucionaria, the Spanish section of the RCI, who has been involved in the encampment set up in Madrid.
This Saturday, masses of workers and young people will descend upon London for the national Palestine solidarity demonstration, to mark three years of Israel’s slaughter of Gaza. Here is why you should join the hundreds-strong communist bloc.
Three years on from the start of Israel’s slaughter of Gaza, the nightmare in the Middle East has only worsened, and the Palestinian people are further away from freedom. This Saturday, the communists will be marching under the banner, ‘For Palestine to live, imperialism must die’.
The Green Party’s ‘Zionism is racism’ motion has sent the British establishment into hysteria, and has exposed the deepening divide within the Green Party itself. Once again, Palestine has proved to be the ultimate political litmus test. But what will happen now?
In France barricades have been thrown up, with street battles taking place with the police. In Spain, Madrid’s main square has been occupied. Half a million people have been on the streets, forcing through a general strike and anger against militarism is sweeping Europe. Could Britain be next?
In just a few weeks, we’ve recruited 100 new party members and met thousands interested in getting involved with the Revolutionary Communist Students. This has been our most successful freshers campaign yet – and this is only the beginning!
Labour politicians, the media, and the ‘left’ have all been lulled by Burnham’s ‘hopeful’ vision. These people have no idea how removed they are from the real mood in society. Events across the Channel paint a very different picture of where things are headed in Britain.
Europe has been set alight by mass protests, led by the youth. From sky-high rents, to dilapidated schools, to militarism and austerity – workers and youth in Britain share all of the conditions that led to this social explosion.
Events in France are moving at a lightning pace. Thousands of school students across the country have joined the powerful mobilisations of fire fighters and public sector workers, facing heavy-handed police repression. But how can the movement succeed?
The Community Security Trust – a propaganda organisation posing as a neutral charity – has smeared Revolutionary Communist Students as ‘antisemites’ for supporting Palestine and attacking the Epstein class. We reject this baseless political attack.
90 years on, the Battle of Cable Street should be studied by everyone who wants to fight the far right today. But one part of the story is often missed: not everyone on the left wanted to fight the fascists. Have today’s leaders learned from yesterday’s cowardice?
Last weekend, the ghost of the Troubles returned to the North of Ireland, as loyalists attempted to hold an Orange march through a nationalist neighbourhood, which was blocked by workers and youth. A revolutionary struggle against sectarian reaction is needed.
