The Socialist Workers Party and its fronts have held a monopoly on the anti-racist struggle for decades. Yet they have nothing to show for this. We examine why: because of their theoretical mistakes on racism, fascism, tactics, and the method of Marxism.
The liberal pundits in the press have been heaping praise upon Britain’s new government and its so-called ‘popular’ leader, Andy Burnham. The prime minister should lap up the sunshine while it lasts, because dark clouds are brewing on the horizon.
The satirical Cockroach Janta Party unleashed nationwide protests putting the fear of god into strongman Narendra Modi. What does this movement mean? Where is it going? Most importantly we urge: No retreat until Modi falls!
“We must demand the impossible, demand the future, and not let anything get in our way.” These words summed up our most inspiring RCP Summer Camp to date. Here, national organiser Khaled Malachi reviews the event, and sets out our tasks for the coming months.
Over the past week – as the youth-led mass struggle against corruption and unemployment in India grew in size and strength – RCP members attended and helped organise solidarity demonstrations across Britain. We publish their reports here.
Earlier this week marked the 20th anniversary of the death of Ted Grant the founder of our organisation, and one of the greatest Marxist theoreticians of the 20th century. In this article, Ted analyses the postwar boom and its contradictions.

Incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to open a ‘Number 10 North’ office, as part of his promise for regional devolution. But neither this insulting gimmick, nor Burnham’s programme of ‘Manchesterism’, can fix Britain’s inequality and decline.
As Andy Burnham prepares to enter Downing Street, the leaders of the ‘left’ and trade unions are sowing illusions in the so-called “opportunity”, “chance”, and “hope” that he promises. Like his predecessors, however, his will be a crisis government from day one.
Satirical candidate Count Binface has emerged as Reform’s most prominent opponent in Clacton. His popularity reflects a deep disillusionment with the farce of Westminster politics and all its racists, thieves, and warmongers. We say, bin the lot!
There is a historic movement underway in Azad Kashmir. Despite brutal repression and slander by the Pakistani state, the people of Kashmir have shown their incredible resolve and power. Today is the beginning of the long march. Power is in their hands, but it must be concretised!
Donald Trump has restarted war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz has effectively been shut again with potentially far deeper repercussions this time around. Trump has no good options, and US imperialism is once again dragging the whole world down into barbarism.
