The people of Gaza are already facing a deadly nightmare. Spurred on by his own narrow political interests, however, Netanyahu is set to escalate the slaughter even further by invading the city of Rafah. The whole region is ready to explode.
Thousands of jobs are on the line at the Tata steelworks in Port Talbot. Comrades across South Wales are mobilising and organising to fight this jobs massacre. We say: Strike and occupy! Nationalise the industry! Put the workers in control!

We are proud to commemorate the centenary of Lenin’s death by publishing a book defending his life and ideas, and by launching The Communist and the RCP. The ‘Communist’ Party of Britain, by contrast, is promoting articles on Lenin that only mislead and sow confusion.

Workers in Port Talbot are facing mass layoffs and the decimation of their town. Yet union leaders are sitting on their hands. The time for bold action is now! Join the communists in campaigning for workers to take control.
Last Saturday, police officers arrested an IMT member for raising the slogan of ‘Intifada ’til victory!’. But the communists won’t back down. We need your help to fight back against state repression, and to see an end to this brutal capitalist system.
