On Black History Month
October is Black History Month. Starting in America and spreading to other western countries with significant black minority populations, its aim is to highlight the contribution of black people to the history of their country.

Church and King
The state needs two things to continue existing: a divided working class and the ability to use force. The state is not identical to the government. The elected government is the visible, changeable face of the state. Thatcher Out, Starmer Out, doesn’t matter, the state remains. In 1780 the state was weak. Globalism was in…

Weapons
Tools become weaponsBut are nothing without hands to wield Lay them down to stop a warA master is nothing without slavesRaise them up to tear him down Words become weaponsWhen hand puts pen to paper A book is a bombIf we light the fuse Hearts lift as voices join in songYet actions echoLong after lips…

Alex Gordon’s Election: Continuity of Revisionism in the Communist Party of Britain
The election of Alex Gordon as General Secretary of the Communist Party of Britain (CPB) represents nothing more than grim continuity of agenda—a consistency this revisionist political outfit has maintained since its re-founding in the late 1980s. We must emphasise “re-founded” here because, unlike the CPB’s own self-perception, we must recognise the reality: they are…

Solidarity With Venezuelan Workers!
After months of open preparations, terror attacks on innocent fishermen, public threats, and personal accusations against President Nicolás Maduro, the US has kidnapped the president of a sovereign state. This was not a limited military action. US imperialism did not merely strike military infrastructure; it deliberately attacked symbols, morale, and historical memory. Imperialist war is…
