The United States Treasury Department announced this week that it will double the buying of its own bonds. But these desperate measures will solve nothing; they will only pave the way for more crisis – and attacks upon the working class.
Fuelled by geopolitical shocks and the breakdown of globalisation, the world capitalist system is wracked with instability and uncertainty, which is itself contributing towards the economic crisis. What does this mean for the class struggle?
At the recent RCI World School, we caught up with two leading members of our International. In Germany, the rise of the right is churning up radical anger amongst the youth. In the United States, the Minneapolis uprising has revealed the need for class leadership.
In the 1960s, ordinary working class life was changing. From the great novels, plays, music, and films created in this era, we delve into the 60th anniversary of rocksteady, the play-turned-film ‘A Taste of Honey’ and novel ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning’.
Arms manufacturer BAE Systems is ploughing hundreds of millions into educational outreach and youth centres, to funnel young people into the ‘defence’ sector. We say: No to the militarisation of the youth! Expropriate these war profiteers!
RMT members at East Midlands Railway (EMR) have been on strike over the forced rollout of new unsafe trains. EMR claims these trains meet “rigorous safety standards” – but on the tracks they regularly fail mid-service. We say, enough of these rail bosses putting their profits over our lives and our safety!

From environmentally-damaging data centres, to the threat of unemployment, to alienating AI slop – widespread anger is building towards the tech bosses accelerating us towards a dystopian future. What is the revolutionary way forward?
Last week, the RCP participated in the World School of Communism 2026: an inspiring event that has set the drumbeat for our march forwards. If you missed out, all sessions are now available to watch back online!
