Two exhibitions on the Pre-Raphaelite art movement are currently on show in Birmingham. As well as pursuing aesthetic innovation, the Pre-Raphaelites sought to critique, and even overcome, the harsh, alienating reality of Victorian industrial society.
In the last issue of The Communist, we zoomed in on the Manchester district, where the Party has achieved record growth. As the comrades explain, this success was rooted in a serious approach to studying Marxist theory.
Britain faces an impending water crisis. Decades of privatisation have saddled water companies with debt, and have left infrastructure crumbling into disrepair. We say: expropriate the parasitic owners! Take the water industry back under public ownership!
Starmer’s Labour have promised to tackle Britain’s housing crisis by delivering 1.5 million homes in five years. But relying on the crisis-ridden private construction sector offers no way forward. We need a socialist housing programme!
Every Remembrance Day, the ruling class reminds us of the brave sacrifices made so that we can enjoy ‘peace’ today. But they would much rather we forgot that the horrors of World War One were brought to an end by international workers’ revolution.
This Remembrance Day, the communists will honour those whose lives have been scandalously sacrificed in the interests of imperialism, by redoubling our efforts to end this capitalist nightmare once and for all. Workers of the world, unite!
With just seven days to go, and over 800 tickets sold, this year’s Revolution Festival is shaping up to be our biggest and best school of communism yet. Don’t miss out on your chance to educate yourself in revolutionary Marxist ideas next weekend!
Ali Abbasi’s latest project ‘The Apprentice’ charts the early years of Donald J. Trump, whose rise to fame and fortune was marked by unscrupulousness and sleaze. But beneath the salacious drama, the film fails to capture the truth behind Trump.
Today is the anniversary of the 1917 October Revolution, which saw the working class seize power for the first time ever. We are republishing a lesser-known article by Lenin, which outlines the theory of permanent revolution in relation to the Russian Revolution.

With all the cards stacked against him, Donald Trump has won the US presidential election, tapping into a deep anti-establishment mood in society. A new and turbulent chapter in American history is about to be written, writes Alan Woods.
In his latest bid to become even more hated by young people, Starmer has hiked tuition fees to a record level. Labour is drowning students in debt to protect universities’ bottom-lines. We say: Down with this austerity government! Free education for all!
