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 Auschwitz Film That Exposed Fascism | The Last Stage Screening 12.06.2026 16:45
The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) held a screening of the landmark 1948 Polish film The Last Stage (Ostatni etap). Directed by Wanda Jakubowska — a communist, resistance fighter, and survivor of Auschwitz — the film was among the first cinematic depictions of the Nazi concentration camps and the organised resistance that developed within them. Several Auschwitz survivors appe...
Nairobi declaration: Down with imperialism and fascism! 11.06.2026 7:15
Party statement | 25 May 2026 The following joint statement was made by parties attending the World Anti-imperialist Platform’s tenth international conference in Nairobi, Kenya on 9 May 2026. Having been driven out in humiliation from the Sahel, the imperialist beast is roaming across Africa in search of new prey. The peoples of Africa, who have long waged courageous struggles to liberate themselv...
Ayatollah Hussein Ali Khamenei – the leader who defined modern Iran 09.06.2026 5:59
This short overview is reproduced from the Grandmasters of Geopolitics Telegram channel, with thanks. From his student days onwards, Ayatollah Khamenei’s life story was interwoven with the history of modern Iran. In the 1960s and 70s, Ali Khamenei was arrested six times by the shah’s secret police, Savak, enduring torture and internal exile. These years of underground resistance solidified his rev...
On imperialism's perfect proxy, Ukraine – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 61 08.06.2026 59:10
Reproduced from @garlandn with thanks. • IMPERIALISM: DECADENT & DOOMED W/JOTI BRAR... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RPfHV7Llpc This week I spoke with Garland Nixon about my recent visit to Moscow to take part in the Third Anti-Fascist Forum, hosted by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF), under the specific theme of anti-terrorism. We discussed the connected between imperiali...
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...
Joti arrested by Kenyan police on demo – Garland Nixon & Joti Brar, ep 60 01.06.2026 47:07
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? What is France’s interest in Kenya, and what is the Kenyan government’s role in Nato and in the African front of WW3? And wha...
Why is North Korea not the aggressor state? 31.05.2026 4:15
South Korea is a colony of Anglo-American imperialism. The Democratic Republic of Korea, otherwise known as North Korea, is a demonised state that is described as 'the aggressor' by Western Media for its defensive actions in response to the U.S. empire which killed 2.5 million innocent civilians during the 1950s Korean war and still seeks to destroy them today. To the West, the DPRK does not have...
How does imperialism treat African states? 30.05.2026 4:21
The imperialist powers such as Britain, France, American and the rest, do not want an independent Africa. While African countries may be formally independent, they are economically subjugated in what is typically called today as 'neocolonialism'. Systems of exploitation have been set up to prevent the development of African states for the enrichment of the finance capitalists within the imperialis...
Kenyan police attack peaceful demonstration against imperialism and arrest protestors 29.05.2026 13:38
Party Statement | 12 May 2026 The fragility of Anglo-French imperialism is revealed when it’s compelled to violently quash a peaceful anti-imperialist march and arrest local and international demonstrators. The brutal actions of the Kenyan comprador regime, operating on behalf of their Anglo-French masters, reflects their fear and fragility in the face of growing international working class solida...
How a 'stop the war' campaign supported war 28.05.2026 3:57
Taken from 'Imperialism on Trial – Joti Brar' ( • Imperialism on Trial – Joti Brar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFbWgd23qIE) Joti Brar makes particular reference to the 2011 war of destabilisation and regime change waged by the US led NATO coalition against Libya in 2011. She relates this campaign in particular to the wider objective of the US to contain and subdue the independent nations of Ru...
Throw out the IHRA - Judicial Review: please donate 28.05.2026 7:43
To allow genocide to continue: those who oppose genocide must be silenced, intimidated, threatened, repressed. https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/legal-challenge-against-the-ih/ The IHRA definition of antisemitism labels those who oppose genocide as Racists. The states perpetrating the genocide then criminalise workers for speaking out against Israeli, British and US wars and genocide. THAT is its...
London Underground: RMT’s four-day week dispute 28.05.2026 11:22
Rail workers’ solidarity and power to fight for better conditions is undermined when union bureaucrats act against their members’ interests. The short-term thinking of trade union leaderships is as endemic as it is self-defeating. A divided workforce is far easier to manipulate, so that in the end, the pay, conditions and pensions of the entire workforce can be steadily degraded. By allowing the m...
Why are wars a thing? 27.05.2026 4:42
As taken from 'The big lie - Imperialism on Trial' ( • The big lie - Imperialism on Trial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tQm9RVUKjQ&list=WL&index=1 ) War between imperialist countries and between imperialist and non-imperialist countries is inevitable for the simple fact that imperialism must seek out profits without restriction and no matter the cost. As Stalin writes: "“But, all the same, it w...
US Aggression in Korea: playing with fire! 27.05.2026 27:21

Ranjeet Brar and Ali Alizadeh on IHRA & Political Repression in Britain 26.05.2026 1:21:00
Support the crowd justice campaign. (Legal challenge against the IHRA's free speech restrictions on Israel- right to protest) https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/leg... The British state is increasingly targeting anti-imperialist voices and our party has been directly subjected to this repression. This is no accident. As imperialism decays, political repression and the suppression of free speech int...
War, dissent, repression rising … Where are the trade unions? 26.05.2026 9:35
Party Leaflet | 3 May 2026 If organised collectively, workers can harness their immense economic power to halt and obstruct the machinery of war at every stage. Creeping repression is the British ruling class’s latest weapon against an ever-rising tide of dissent. Fascism doesn’t need jackboots and funny salutes; its frameworks can be implemented in a terribly British way by polite agents trained...
How America played the victim after committing genocide 25.05.2026 4:07
South Korea is a colony of Anglo-American imperialism. The Democratic Republic of Korea, otherwise known as North Korea, is a demonised state that is described as 'the aggressor' by Western Media for its defensive actions in response to the U.S. empire which killed 2.5 million innocent civilians during the 1950s Korean war and still seeks to destroy them today. To the West, the DPRK does not have...
Victory to Iran! 25.05.2026 12:03
Even as governments draw up contingency plans to deal with expected shortages of food and fuel, freedom-loving peoples are rooting for Iran. For all the Trump regime’s bombast, it has been clear from the beginning that Iran has the upper hand in the war being waged by Anglo-American imperialism. If they cannot find a face-saving retreat, the imperialists and their Zionist proxies will find they ha...
How revisionism sabotaged the anti-imperialist movement 24.05.2026 4:21
As taken from: 'Port imperialism, Sudan, Israel and the gulf states - Mohamad Hassan' ( • Port imperialism, Sudan, Israel and the gulf states - Mohamad Hassan' gulf states - Mohamad Hassan' ) Revisionism entails the distortion, perversion, deviation from Marxism. Since Krushchevite revisionism took the Soviet Union by the throat in the 1950s, the anti-imperialist movement has been derailed by the...
