Last week, leading members of the Awaami Action Committee – Gilgit-Baltistan, including members of the Inqalabi Communist Party (Pakistan), were arrested in a blatantly political attack. Comrades of the RCP in Britain held an emergency protest outside the Pakistani High Commission in central London.
Starmer has announced a new set of anti-immigrant policies, prompting unrest within the Labour backbenches. This desperate attempt to outflank Reform from the right is a divisive distraction from Labour’s own failures. Our enemies are not immigrants, but the bosses and billionaires that Starmer represents.
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.
Today marks the 100th birthday of Malcolm X, an outstanding revolutionary within the black liberation movement. We republish here an article on his life and political evolution, which were tragically cut short by an assassin’s bullet.
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.
Louis Theroux’s latest documentary lays bare the genocidal Zionist settler movement. Backed by the Israeli state and emboldened by the western imperialists, these fanatics freely wage ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.
Labour has dominated Welsh politics for over a century. But after decades of austerity and decline, Welsh Labour’s support is collapsing. Meanwhile, Reform UK and Welsh nationalist Plaid Cymru are surging in the polls . Volatility and radicalisation lie ahead.
The recent local elections revealed that Nigel Farage’s party is gaining support amongst workers in traditional Labour heartlands, including trade unionists. This must be a wake-up call for the labour movement: to fight for bold socialist policies.
In his masterpiece ‘Imperialism’, Lenin explained how the monopolies and banks rule over us, engendering conflict, chaos, and crisis. Today’s tumultuous situation is proof of this analysis. We need a revolution to expropriate the billionaires.
Announced yesterday, mainstream media have been going gaga for new pope Leo XIV. Yet the Church remains full of scandals, crises, and is riven with factionalism. A changing of the guard at the top offers no solutions, as the reign of Pope Francis illustrates.
Yesterday, the Indian Air Force carried out military attacks in Pakistan. The two countries are once again at war, using the question of Kashmir to cut across their own internal class divisions. We say: Only class war can end all wars!
This VE Day, we publish the editorial by Alan Woods from the latest issue of the Revolutionary Communist International’s quarterly theoretical journal, In Defence of Marxism, which cuts through the bourgeois propaganda surrounding WW2.
