On the anniversary of the Bristol Bus Boycott, we present ‘Here to fight here to stay’ – a series on Britain’s anti-racist struggles. The boycott marked the first significant anti-racist victory in the Britain’s postwar period, and provides crucial and inspiring lessons today.
The forces of communism are growing rapidly in Cardiff. To strengthen the Party, comrades have been putting ‘The Communist’ at the forefront of their recruitment, education, and student work. Here, they share their lessons from building the revolutionary press.
In the latest issue of The Communist, we received a letter from an arms factory worker, an exposé of an abusive Labour minister, a report from a strike at a Manchester restaurant, as well as experiences from the frontlines of the NHS crisis.
The ‘woke’ brand of identity politics pushed by the liberal establishment for decades is now deeply discredited. Demagogues like Trump, however, offer no alternative. Communists oppose both sides of the culture war divide, putting forward an independent, class programme.
Labour has just announced billions in cuts to benefits, in an effort to drive the sick and ailing back to work, get the economy growing, and redirect money to ‘defence’. But the capitalist class are powerless to tackle Britain’s unemployment dilemma.
While the liberal establishment and right-wing bigots argue over who protects women more, working-class women are more squeezed and vulnerable than ever. Communists have no faith in both sides of the toxic culture war. Only united class struggle can fight sexism!
A Revolutionary Communist is running in the Lancaster University Students’ Union election. With an onslaught of campus cuts and attacks on its way, RCP members are showing the way forward. “Fight the cuts! Scrap fees and rent! Vote Communist!”
Labour is under pressure from populists on either side of the Atlantic, with the capricious chaos of Donald Trump and the rising support for Farage’s Reform. We say: No to Starmer’s militarism and austerity! Overthrow this rotten system!
Starmer’s Labour is promoting anti-immigration campaigns on TikTok and leaving Ukrainian refugees at risk of deportation. Meanwhile asylum seekers die due to Home Office negligence. Here, readers of The Communist shed light on the latest anti-migrant attacks by the ruling class.
With Reform rising in the polls, Starmer’s Labour are desperately trying to win back their dwindling voter base. Their ‘new strategy’, however, is nothing but more culture war and migrant-bashing. We need a real, class alternative.
Universities across Britain are facing an onslaught of cuts, course closures, and redundancies. This is a harbinger of what is to come across the whole public sector. RCP members on campus are fighting back. Kick capitalism out of education!
Keir Starmer wants to put thousands of British “boots on the ground” to ‘keep the peace’ in Ukraine, while pledging to spend billions more on ‘defence’. We say: no to Starmer’s militarism and austerity! For healthcare, not warfare! Books not bombs!
