Remembering Michael Parenti, outstanding critic of capitalism and imperialism 04.08.2026 21:09
Carlos Martinez | 1 May 2026 A true working-class intellectual, Parenti never watered down his analysis for the sake of respectability, popularity or a well-paid job.

Growing Militarism & Preparation for War in the West – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 62 16.07.2026 1:11:27
This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about the growing militarisation of western economies and societies: what is driving it and how is it impacting our lives?

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.

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.
