We are entering a new phase of the class struggle in Britain.
Millions have been mobilised to rage against the criminal policies of our ruling class and its blanket support for Israel’s war of extermination in Gaza.
There is enormous anger against the wasted decade of austerity and social decline, which has left our schools and hospitals at breaking point, and robbed us blind at every turn.
The Tories will receive their long-deserved punishment at the ballot box this week, on 4 July, when they will be completely smashed.
The SNP, too, for their litany of disappointments and betrayals, will be thrown back.
Though Labour stands to gain at both their expense, this will not represent any vote of confidence in Starmer – this total fraud; a sickening lackey of the banks and big business.

Disgust
The mood among the working class is one of apathy and disgust towards all the ruling-class politicians and parties. While they ramp-up their attacks on one another for the TV cameras, they all have their fingers crossed behind their backs.
After the votes are cast, they all follow the same script: the people must tighten their belts, working themselves to the bone just to obtain scraps, while the rich get to live in never-before-seen luxury.
Billions are spent on wars and weapons, while barely a few crumbs are thrown down for nurses, teachers, firefighters, and other workers.
This is the cruel logic of capitalism. It cannot function any other way.
We cannot put our trust in any of the politicians or parties who are tied to this system: not the Tories or Labour, nor the SNP or Greens.

Strengthen the struggle
The outcome of this election is a done deal. Keir Starmer will be the next stooge to occupy Downing Street. All that matters now is who will stand with their heads above the rest to oppose the new government.
Should we leave it up to millionaire hatemongers like Nigel Farage? Or to two-faced hypocrites like John Swinney? Or should we build a real opposition?
There will be no honeymoon period for Starmer. His servility to the ruling class is guaranteed to provoke a rise in working-class struggle.
We have to strengthen the struggle against austerity, against capitalism, against imperialist war, and against oppression. We have to fight not just for bigger crumbs from the rich man’s table, but to put the working class in control.
This is what the Revolutionary Communist Party stands for. We stand for the total rejection of capitalism and its regime of criminals and parasites. We are communists – partisans of working-class power and heralds of socialist revolution.

Plant the red flag
We are launching a campaign in Scotland to raise the banner of communism and establish new branches of the party north of the border.
If you are a communist, then we call on you to immediately begin building a cell wherever you are – any town, workplace, school or college – and apply for membership of the RCP.
Comrades in our existing branches and cells in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and West Lothian will be visiting new towns and cities to help with the founding of these communist cells.
We are gathering the new forces of Bolshevism – of Leninism – in Scotland.
The culmination of this will be a special conference on 27 July, hosting delegations from across the country to discuss the tasks and methods of communists in the class struggles that will unfold.
Join the RCP to plant our communist flag far and wide, forge the forces of revolution, and turn Scotland red.
