The Transitional Programme by Trotsky is a prime example of the method by which Marxists can connect with the struggles of today and raise workers’ sights to the ultimate goal of socialist revolution. In this podcast, we discuss how communists can connect with the demands of the day.

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.
