Obituary: Saif al-Islam Gaddafi 08.04.2026 14:20
Saif Gaddafi continued to act as a beacon for those struggling to restore Libya’s sovereignty and independence long after his father was assassinated. Saif Gaddafi was widely respected in Libya during the time of the Jamahiriyan Republic that was presided over by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. His assassination, mourned by the Libyan masses, was greeted with glee by the imperialists, who were becoming w...
Hands off Iran! Public meeting in Bristol 07.04.2026 4:45
Iran stands with Palestine; British workers must stand with Iran! Iran stands at the core of the middle-eastern Axis of Resistance to imperialism. It is a crucial supporter of Palestine and opposer of zionist supremacism, apartheid and colonialism. These core aspects of the Iranian revolution, alongside a determination to remain sovereign and independent both economically and politically, are firm...
Chagos, Iran and the new era of naked imperialism 05.04.2026 32:19
Despite some theatre for the benefit of domestic populations, there is no serious dispute in the Anglo-American camp over the aims and methods of US imperialism. Diego Garcia’s strategic location in the Indian Ocean, with access to south Asia, east Africa, and the middle east, is more than enough reason for the imperialists’ illegal turfing out of locals and establishment of a powerful military ba...
Identity politics or class politics? 05.04.2026 2:47:05
https://shop.thecommunists.org/product/identity-politics-or-class-politics-2024/ The slow but steady takeover of the western left by liberalism and the divisive and reactionary politics of identity took place during decades when revolutionary Marxism had suffered serious defeats and was passing through a period of confusion and disarray. In order to bring this period of defeat and retreat to a clo...
Social democrats sit out Gorton and Denton by-election 04.04.2026 23:01
What does it say about self-identifying ‘socialists’ when they are endorsing parliamentarism of the most reactionary type? The Green party long ago revealed itself to be pro-war, pro-Zionist, pro-austerity and pro-capitalist. So how does it come about that it is being held up by national newspapers and ‘socialist radicals’ alike as the great new hope of the working class? Subscribe! Donate! Join u...
Continued murderous Israeli oppression in Gaza 03.04.2026 26:30
The struggle goes on, and it will continue until justice is achieved, however long that might take. While the Zionist colonisers have been using the supposed ‘ceasefire’ and the total impotence of the ‘international community’ to accelerate their plans for ethnic cleansing and resettlement of Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian lands, they have reckoned without the resistance of the people themselves...
Build the antiwar movement in Britain 02.04.2026 4:38
We must transform the antiwar movement in this country from an impotent appendage of the imperialists into a genuine force capable of striking at British imperialism. Two slogans need to permeate a genuinely class-conscious anti-imperialist antiwar movement and be transformed into the basis for concrete action by the organised working class: ‘Victory to the resistance’ and ‘No cooperation with the...
Our goverment is changing definitions to suit Zionism 01.04.2026 4:06
Clip taken from 'A message to Wes Streeting: No IHRA in the NHS!' ( • A message to Wes Streeting: No IHRA in the... ) The IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of anti-semitism is attempts to equate criticism of Israel with criticism of Jews and therefore of anti-semitism.

Comrade Ali speaks at an anti-war rally in Bristol (Hands off Iran Lebanon Palestine) 31.03.2026 7:55
Comrade Ali speaks at an anti-war rally in Bristol on the further aggression against Iran/Lebanon/Palestine by the imperialists. A group of Pahlavists showed up to march and to counter demo, shamelessly chanting " Israel thank you, USA thank you" " This is the final battle". These imperialist agents tailed the demonstration in order to intimidate participants, one of them tried to intimidate peopl...
Israel deliberately targets journalists & medics – Steve Sweeney 30.03.2026 11:42
In this powerful first-hand account, journalist Steve Sweeney describes surviving a deliberate Israeli airstrike that targeted him and his colleague while reporting for RT News in south Lebanon – a targeted attack on journalists that can only be described as a war crime. The attempt on Comrade Sweeney’s life was unsuccessful, but left him with a shrapnel wound through his left arm, and Steve expla...
Joti Brar: Scientific socialism is the truth of today 29.03.2026 30:12
Joti Brar spoke with Oksana Boyko about communism in the Soviet Union under Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin; what capitalism means for the modern world, specifically the victims of the Jeffrey Epstein network and it being a consequence of the ruling class; and the correct ML characterisation of Russia and what its Soviet legacy really means in the modern day.

Stalin’s Library by Geoffrey Roberts – a resumé and review, pt 6 29.03.2026 12:29
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.

CPB calls on its supporters to ‘Vote Green in Gorton and Denton’ 27.03.2026 16:56
After a lifetime of unrequited love for Labour, the Communist Party of Britain has suddenly switched its allegiance to the ‘Tories on bikes’. The CPB’s apparent conversion to a new electoral vehicle (in this case, the Greens) turns out on closer inspection to be merely a temporary blip. Its fundamental message is not ‘Desert Labour, a party of your class enemies’, but ‘Teach Labour a lesson and ge...
Comrade Ali speaks at an anti-war rally in Bath 26.03.2026 5:27
Comrade Ali speaks at an anti-war rally in Bath on the struggles in the middle east and what British workers can do to oppose the British war machine and exercise their own power. A group of Pahlavists (Iranian expat monarchists) showed up to disrupt the speakers – while advocating for "free speech", naturally! These imperialist agents tailed the demonstration in order to intimidate participants,...

Steve Sweeney: Report from the frontline in Lebanon Comrade Steve Sweeney reports from just metres from the frontline in Qiyam, Lebanon, where fierce battles are raging between Israeli forces and Hezbollah resistance fighters. With fighter jets roaring overhead and explosions marking the landscape, this report breaks down the strategic importance of the Qiyam ridge, the heavy losses being inflicte...
The rise of Brics, decline of imperialism and the tasks of the British workers 25.03.2026 22:18
British workers must understand the true nature of the economic crisis, and recognise that capitalism is the agent of their misery. The expansion of Brics on 24 October 2024 saw an additional 13 countries invited to participate as ‘partner countries’, allowing them to engage with and benefit from Brics initiatives – including direct trade and access to finance – without having to subordinate thems...

From the massacre of 41 people in a botched Israeli airborne incursion into the town of Nabi Sheet in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. Israeli commandos attempting to retrieve the remains of captured pilot Ron Arad — missing since 1986 — were repelled by Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force fighting alongside local residents.

Why has Israel recognised Somaliland as an independent state? 23.03.2026 11:43
This move has to be seen as part of a wider attempt by imperialism to outflank the Axis of Resistance. Protestors in Mogadishu wave Somali and Palestinian flags as they denounce Israel’s announcement recognising the breakaway Somaliland region and call for the territorial unity of Somalia. Meanwhile, no amount of ‘strategic planning’ by the think tank-ocracy can wish away the growing resilience an...
Iran stands up against imperialist powers – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 57 22.03.2026 1:06:56
Reproduced from @garlandn with thanks. • IMPERIALISM: DECADENT& DOOMED W/JOTI BRAR ... This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about the war in Iran and what it means not only for Iran but for the wider region and the entire world. What have we learned about the difference in the ways the imperialist and anti-imperialist countries approach war? We discussed the fact that Iran has for decades held o...
Preparing Britain for world war 22.03.2026 18:21
The imperialists’ wars are wars of plunder. Their ‘defence’ is the defence of privilege. Their ‘values’ are the values of exploitation. As the global economic crisis of capitalism deepens, we are seeing a steep rise in both military spending and war propaganda, as our society is militarised and our people prepared to fight in wars to maintain imperialist profit-taking. Hand in hand with rampant in...
A tale of two AIs 21.03.2026 13:45
Why does the application of AI technologies produce such different outcomes in China as compared with the west? China’s 15th five-year plan illustrates how peoples’ lives can be enriched by combining a planned economy with technological advances in production. The capitalist approach of profit for a tiny minority, on the other hand, results in the immiseration of the vast majority of workers. Auto...

Clip taken from ' Durham Miners’ Gala 2025 - the Big Meeting' ( • Durham Miners’ Gala 2025 - the Big Meeting ) With faith in the tory party in complete disrepair, the finance capitalist class of Britain needs a new tool to push their interests forward and answer to this is recreating the tory party under a new banner; a new party: the reform party.

As one war front crumbles in Ukraine, USA steps up arms sales to Taiwan 20.03.2026 20:20
The imperialists are preparing the ground for war in the Pacific, but their plans rely on the acquiescence of the region’s people. Separatist sentiment in Taiwan has seen a marked decline recently, where increasing numbers of workers are waking up to the danger that they are being prepared to be the ‘Ukrainians’ of the east – ie, to be sacrificed on the altar of profit-hungry capital. Their best d...
