Today, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana announced the launch of a new left party, aimed at taking on the “corporations and billionaires” and their “rigged system”. The RCP is getting on board. Fight for real change! Fight for revolution!.

200+ communists gathered in the Peak District for the best RCP Summer Camp yet. Themed around the life and ideas of Ted Grant, this school of Marxism provided vital training for comrades both new and old, and prepared the Party for the big events coming.

On 30 July, the Revolutionary Communist International is calling a day of action outside Pakistani diplomatic buildings to demand freedom for imprisoned leaders of the Awami Action Committee - Gilgit-Baltistan. Join our solidarity protests!.

RT @fiona_lali: It's happening. I've signed up. I want this party to fight for real socialism. For real change. That means revolution.….

RT @fiona_lali: My friends tell me the Corbyn/Sultana party website has crashed as they've gone onto it. Too many signups I'm sure. Audaci….

In the latest issue of The Communist, readers shared recommendations from the rich world of Russian literature: Turgenev's 'Fathers and Sons', Ilf and Petrov's satire 'The Twelve Chairs', and Dostoyevsky's short story 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man'.

During our summer recruitment drive, we have received many questions from some of our newest comrades. In this instalment of Ask The Communist, we dive into questions of revolutionary tactics, our approach to imperialism, and what socialism will look like.

Sheffield RCP recently joined a mass picket in support of bin workers, on indefinite strike for 11 months. Union-busting Veolia will stop at nothing to keep its superprofits. To win, the strike must broaden out against the anti-union laws!.

After WWII, the Soviet bureaucracy abolished capitalism and set up Stalinist regimes across Eastern Europe. In Yugoslavia, Tito broke from Moscow while maintaining a planned economy. Ted Grant masterfully analysed these processes.

⚠️ BREAKING: Yesterday, the racist Home Office worked hand-in-hand with police to arrest migrant delivery workers in Birmingham. An outraged crowd gathered, and RCP members gave speeches exposing the real criminals: Starmer, Labour, and the capitalists.

The hypocrisy of the British state, from the BBC blocking their own commissioned documentaries about Gaza, to the Met police arresting elderly people for their opposition to genocide, is Orwellian. Their dishonesty stinks!.

After suspending Rayner with huge support from its ranks, Unite is moving further onto the war footing against Labour. To complete the break, Unite must ramp up the fightback: join up the struggles against austerity, and fight for a socialist programme!.

Starmer recently met with the French President in yet another choreographed (and irrelevant) display of statesmanship, in part for another hare-brained scheme to appear ‘tough’ on immigration. These reactionary attacks are a divisive distraction.

The political climate is beginning to match the increasingly volatile British weather. And with financial worries, imperialist tensions, and political instability, Starmer is feeling the heat. The communists, meanwhile, are making hay while the sun shines!

Recently, figures such as Zohran Mamdani to a new left party in Britain have garnered widespread support. So it is timely that the In Defence of Marxism magazine, with articles themed around reformism and revolution, has launched! Read the editorial here.

Our readers expose the failures of capitalism, from attacks on workers and the oppressed to the crimes of British imperialism. While record numbers of young people are seeking solace in religion, many more are searching for radical solutions.

With Starmer’s government presiding over chaos, this year’s ‘Big Meeting’ came at a turning point for the labour movement. Trade union and left leaders must turn radical words into action, and build genuine opposition to Labour’s austerity and militarism.

As Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza escalates, the British establishment is clamping down ever-harder on Palestine activists. The labour movement must mobilise against imperialism and repression, linking the struggles against war and austerity.

12 days ago, after being spooked by popular support for New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, @FT wrote in defence of billionaires. We respond to their false claims. Billionaires should not exist – we need a revolution against them and their system!.
