The period between the 20th and the 22nd congresses of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) witnessed the emergence, formation, growth and systematisation of Khrushchevite revisionism on a number of very important questions of principle, during which period the teachings of Marxism Leninism were subjected to wholesale revision, distortion and downright falsification. This pamphlet expose...
Acting to prevent genocide is not a crime! Free the Filton 4! 30.06.2026 7:57
Party leaflet | 11 June 2026 Building a really resilient backbone for the Palestine solidarity movement means reckoning with a British imperialist class that will use every means at its disposal to try to break our struggle. Desperate to find a mechanism that will allow it to criminalise anti-genocide activity, the ruling class refused to accept the first trial result, setting up a ruthlessly rigg...

According to guests Dr R...
Lenin’s work remains a guide for our time 19.06.2026 18:53
Joti Brar | 28 January 2024 What are some of the key lessons we need to take from Lenin and the Bolsheviks in the coming period of rising revolutionary struggle? Lenin was the great Marxist thinker who reinstated the revolutionary content into Marxism and updated it for the era of imperialism. His work remains as essential as ever to all those struggling for a better world. This article is a sligh...

Help throw the IHRA’s pro-zionist definition of antisemitism out of our health service! 14.06.2026 10:50
The latest review of antisemitism in the health service serves to reinforce the action of the IHRA ‘definition’ – ie, it seeks to stigmatise and victimise all those who speak out against zionist racism and genocide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAq8tg8Muok The video above contains information on a legal challenge that seeks to overturn NHS England’s adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemiti...
Model motion: Reclaim and transform our trade unions 13.06.2026 6:32
Proletarian writers | 6 June 2026 Working-class organisations must break all links with Labour and Labour-lite forces, and reinstate genuine, shop-floor democracy. Since the postwar settlement effectively persuaded Britain’s old Communist party (CPGB) to give up the class struggle and devote its energies to supporting the imperialist Labour party, our trade union movement has been in retreat. A re...
Stalin’s Library by Geoffrey Roberts – a resumé and review, pt 8 13.06.2026 14:40
Harpal Brar | 1 May 2026 Stalin made regular efforts to counter the tendency of Soviet scientists to adopt a servile attitude towards their equivalents in the more backward imperialist west. Contrary to the myths peddled by Khrushchev and Trotsky and repeated endlessly by anticommunist historians, Josef Stalin was a selfless, modest and devoted revolutionary, and a lifelong student of Marxist-Leni...
Fascist attack on Bulgarian communists 12.06.2026 3:31
23 September Movement | 28 May 2026 Across the Nato camp, the ruling classes are increasingly turning to naked terroristic violence to try to suppress the growth of anti-imperialist antiwar activity. The victory of the Soviet and communist forces over fascism during the Great Patriotic War reminds workers that when they join together in militant defence of their class interests, they become an unb...

The nefarious, prejudicial and deeply-flawed IHRA ‘definition’ of antisemitism, pt 1 07.06.2026 40:12
Ranjeet Brar | 1 May 2026 Dr Ranjeet Brar, general secretary of the CPGB-ML and consultant vascular surgeon, writes on his experience of the enforcement of the IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism’ and its deeply troubling consequences. Why has this definition taken on such importance in our society, and how is it being used to criminalise anti-zionist speech, despite not having any legal force? The I...
Stalin’s Library by Geoffrey Roberts – a resumé and review, pt 7 07.06.2026 16:58
Stalin’s study of history and diplomacy informed the Soviet Union’s careful handling of foreign affairs and in particular its dealings with the imperialist powers. Contrary to the myths peddled by Khrushchev and Trotsky and repeated endlessly by anticommunist historians, Josef Stalin was a selfless, modest and devoted revolutionary, and a lifelong student of Marxist-Leninist science. -------------...
What do you think of Stalin? 05.06.2026 4:01
Here is what he had to say in an interview with German author Emil Ludwig when asked if he 'ruled through fear' “Do you really believe that we could have retained power and have had the backing of the vast masses for 14 years by methods of intimidation and terrorisation? No, that is impossible. The tsarist government excelled all others in knowing how to intimidate. It had long and vast experience...
The late and unlamented Eddy Shah 04.06.2026 19:57
Eddy Shah, prime minister and Margaret Thatcher at the National Free Enterprise awards in 1984. Shah saw his chance when new printing technology and new anti-union laws presented the perfect opportunity for trying to break the power of the print workers’ union. But the foundation for the printers’ defeat was laid not only by state forces but also by the sell-outs within the trade union movement it...
Report from Tommy Robinson’s Unite The Kingdom fascist rally 02.06.2026 6:12
Yaxley-Lennon and his lumpen flock are a crude domestic manifestation of the racism generated by bourgeois ideology in all imperialist countries. Tommy Robinson, paid-up rent-a-fascist of the zionists, roused a mob devoid of rationality and fed on a diet of lies, to think and act in direct opposition to their own interests. Workers must be educated to recognise the ruling class for what it is – th...

Reproduced from @garlandn with thanks. This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about my recent experience inside a Kenyan police cell. Why were we in Nairobi joining an anti-imperialist conference and then a street protest against the France-Africa summit in the first place?
