Britain, the first country to develop capitalism was also the first to grab a modern empire. In the 19th century, Arabia was dismissed as being a barren wasteland, but in the early 20th ...

DECRIMINALISING BASHAR – TOWARDS A MORE EFFECTIVE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT

by Red Youth Red Youth This excellent article is reproduced from Invent The Future On 10 April 1993, one of the greatest heroes of the anti-apartheid struggle, Chris Hani, was gunned down by a neo-fascist in an attempt to disrupt the seemingly inexorable process of bringing majority rule to South Africa. Although direct legal culpability for this tragic assassination belonged to only two men – a Polish immigrant by the name of Janusz Waluś and a senior Conservative Party MP named Clive Derby-Lewis – the crime formed part of a much wider onslaught against the ANC and its allies. This onslaught – paramilitary, political, legal, psychological, journalistic – was not primarily conducted by fringe lunatics such as Waluś and Derby-Lewis, but by the mainstream white political...

IAIN DUNCAN SMITH’S ‘AXIS OF TOTALITARIANISM’

Posted on 13th February 2022 by Red Youth Anti Communism, China, Nato, Russia, War propaganda Clearly upset by the strengthening alliance of Russia and China, Iain Duncan Smith has taken to the pages of the Telegraph to lament the emergence of what he calls a “new axis of totalitarian states” supposedly posing a dire threat to the civilised world of the democratic west. But if it’s an Orwellian dystopia about the crushing of all dissent by a repressive state apparatus that IDS wants to scare himself with, he need look no further than the Spycops scandal which saw British police entering the beds and romantic lives of green protestors, even going as far to have children with them. What would the women stating they “have been raped...

What is to be done

What is to be done? – presentation by Ella Rule of Lenin’s pamphlet to a CPGB-ML study school on 27 October 2022 The main thrust of Lenin’s pamphlet What is to be Done? is to define in broad terms how revolutionaries should do their work if they want to succeed in mobilising the masses of the people for proletarian revolution.  Most of the pamphlet is devoted to lambasting the variety of opportunism he called ‘Economism’, and contrasting the type of work that revolutionaries should be doing as opposed to what this type of opportunist considers appropriate.  He then goes on to explain how important a national newspaper is both for imparting information, raising class consciousness among the workers and helping to forge a centralised revolutionary organisation...
Brazil: Lula is back!

Brazil: Lula is back!

There was much rejoicing in the streets of cities, towns and villages all over Brazil on Sunday 31 October 2022 when it was announced that Brazil’s right-wing populist President, Jair Bolsonaro, had been defeated in the country’s presidential election by his popular leftist opponent Luis Inacio da Silva, universally known as Lula. Lula’s popularity is based on the fact that when he was President of Brazil for two terms between 2003 and 2010, he was able to secure a substantial transfer of the wealth arising from the sale of Brazilian commodities (at a time of relatively high commodity prices on the world market) in favour of the Brazilian masses: “…during thirteen years of PT government, thirty million Brazilians were lifted out of poverty. By 2015 real wages were 78 percent...

The liberation of Ukraine from Nazism in 1944

Ukrainian collaboration with Nazi Germany - Wikipedia The 28th of October is the anniversary of Ukraine’s liberation from the Nazi occupation.  Nowadays this date is more relevant than ever.  We will tell you how Ukrainians fared under the Nazi regime – that today, it would seem, many have forgotten. As from the autumn of 1941, most of the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic fell under the control of the Nazis.  On the side of the third Reich there were also Ukrainian nationalist units which had been recruited before the war. At the time of the invasion, these units included the special forces named Roland and Nachtigal, formed by immigrants from the west of Ukraine.  Afterwards, on the foundation of these units, as well as on the foun...

What is behind the attempted murder of the Vice-president of Argentina?

In the evening of the 1 September, TV viewers in Argentina were horrified by a scene in which a weapon was pointed at the vice-president of the country, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK), and triggered pointing at her face. Although later it was confirmed that the gun was loaded and ready to fire, the bullet failed to fire which was considered a ‘miracle’. In a matter of minutes, the news spread all over the world and condemnation of the assassination attempt and solidarity with Mrs Fernández de Kirchner was expressed by leaders across the globe but there was absolute silence from right-wing politicians in the country. Since then, the very slow investigation has concentrated its efforts on the individual perpetrators and some Nazi-fascist groups that had demonstrated agai...

Colombia – Petro walks the tightrope of ‘total peace’

Two regional trade union officials were killed in southern Colombia in mid-October -.Ferney Morales and Rigo Alape were attacked in a municipality of Putumayo, apparently being forced by armed assailants to leave a community meeting before being murdered. What was a poignant tragedy is in danger of becoming a commonplace in a country still beset by right-wing paramilitary violence. The two men were organisers for the FENSUAGRO agricultural trade union, and prominent members of the regional ASTRACAM peasant farmers’ association. FENSUAGRO is the most ruthlessly targeted trade union in Colombia, having had close to 40 members killed since a peace agreement was signed between the government and guerrillas of the left-wing Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2016.
