We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Terry Harrison, a stalwart of socialism in Merseyside. Terry was a founding member of Ted Grant’s Militant Tendency, and dedicated his life to Marxist ideas and the class struggle.
At the recent International Investment Summit, Starmer delivered a programme of deregulation and attacks on workers, in order to woo his paymasters. We say: down with this billionaires’ government! Expropriate the rich!
The number of drug-related deaths in Scotland – already the highest in Europe – rose sharply last year. Small tweaks and measures have failed to solve anything. The substance abuse crisis is the product of the poverty capitalism creates.
Starmer’s Labour have wasted no time in taking up the Tories’ mantle of attacking the NHS and its staff, and pushing for privatisation. We can’t trust crooks like Wes Streeting to save our NHS – we need workers’ control and socialist planning!
RCP members working in education are beginning to organise within their unions to link questions like pay, conditions, and funding to the fight against imperialism. From schools to universities, our slogan ‘Books Not Bombs’ is finding an echo.
The criminal destruction of our environment and the suffering of the working class are small change to the billionaires and trillionaires of the world. As readers of ‘The Communist’ point out, the rich are living on another planet to the rest of us!
Earlier this month, Starmer announced that the Chagos Islands, a British colony, will be handed over to the Mauritian government. But far from ‘righting injustice’, this backroom deal with the USA will only strengthen the grip of western imperialism.
During our autumn growth campaign, the Party has received various questions about Marxist theory, revolutionary history, and communist tactics. In our first instalment of Ask The Communist, we cover Stalinism, the USSR, Mao, and the vanguard party.
Support staff at London universities, including cleaners and security guards, are fighting back against the exploitative practices of the employers. RCP comrades offer their full solidarity to these struggles. Workers and students: unite and fight!
The apocalyptic drama ‘Threads’ (1984) explores what could happen if war in the Middle East escalated into nuclear annihilation, and Britain was obliterated into a barbaric wasteland. 40 years later, this film remains a haunting watch.
On Saturday, a year since the start of Israel’s war in Gaza, London saw one of its biggest pro-Palestine protests yet. RCP comrades formed a vibrant bloc – denouncing the Westminster warmongers, and calling for revolution to overthrow imperialism.
The RCP’s autumn growth campaign has gone from strength to strength. Students and young people are seeking out a revolutionary alternative to austerity, imperialism, and war. Fight for your future! Join the communists on campus!
