Women’s Liberation is a Class Issue.
International Working Women’s Day (IWWD) did not begin as a marketing opportunity or a celebration of individual female ‘empowerment’. It was a working-class, communist initiative, born out of the struggle of women workers for political power, economic independence and liberation from exploitation. Its origins lie in socialist organising and in the understanding that women’s oppression…

CPB calls on its supporters to ‘Vote Green in Gorton and Denton’
Reposted with thanks from CPGB-ML On 17 February, the Communist Party of Britain (CPB) penned a Morning Star editorial column entitled ‘Vote Green in Gorton and Denton’.

Distraction techniques
I’m sure everyone has seen the latest internet sensation ‘Ibiza final boss’ Jack Kay, with his legoesque head, bully beef haircut, thin beard and gold chain. Something to laugh at right?

Creative Capitalism
One of the arguments against socialism goes along the lines of:“Creativity and innovation wouldn’t happen if there was no financial incentive” There are several things wrong with this. Humans like me, you and all our ancestors are programmed to create and innovate. We wouldn’t be here otherwise. The computer or the smartphone or the printing…
