This issue, readers of The Communist dive into feudal-esque, loathsome landlords and bootless bosses who lord over us from on high – touting progress while dragging humanity backward. Don’t let the capitalists feed us to the wolves – let’s make their system extinct!
On the anniversary of the Bristol Bus Boycott, we present ‘Here to fight here to stay’ – a series on Britain’s anti-racist struggles. The boycott marked the first significant anti-racist victory in Britain’s post-war period, and provides crucial and inspiring lessons today.
In March, an Indian student tragically took his own life in Liverpool, squeezed by the pressures of student debt and graduate unemployment. Sadly, he is only one of countless overseas students tortured by capitalism – a system that can no longer provide for the future.
Some anti-racist activists suggest that Labour is a ‘lesser evil’ in upcoming elections, compared to the likes of Reform UK and the Tories. But Labour’s track record on attacking migrants – both in words and deeds – is giving both parties a run for their money.
As Birmingham gets buried in bins, refuse workers continue their all-out battle against Labour council leaders, Starmer’s government, and both’s austerity programme. Their fight forebodes the titanic struggles to come for Britain’s workers. Victory to the strike!
RCP members protesting against King Charles’ Durham visit were intimidated and harassed by the Durham Police last week, partly for the ‘crime’ of carrying communist literature. This is a flagrant violation of our hard-won rights to free speech and assembly.

RCP members across Britain have been holding weekend schools to discuss Leninism, dialectical materialism, and revolutionary history. These cadre-training events also fostered camaraderie and party pride ahead of our National Congress.
Low-budget sci-fi horror video game ‘Mouthwashing’ leaves players controlling a stranded space freighter’s crew. Released to rave reviews, the game explores the dehumanising impact of low-paid, high-stress work, and how exploitation poisons human relations.
In the latest instalment of our series on the revolutionary press, we turn to the Chartist movement. Their paper, the Northern Star, played a key role in transforming the movement into a genuine revolutionary force, and paved the way for Lenin’s conception of the revolutionary press.
The Mancunion has published a shameful defence of imperialism which parrots ruling-class propaganda, smearing student protest while whitewashing Britain’s bloody war machine. But students see through the lies – and will continue to fight.
