The struggle against social democracy, i.e, breaking the link with the imperialist Labour party, is vital to the workers' cause.
Guys. I hate to intrude upon private grief. But as you are bringing this “conversation” to my attention, allow me to say that the problem with the @CPBritain is not “what it looks like”. The problem of the CPB is its love for the Labour party. Its forerunner (CPGB) once “looked like” the working class because it was a large, even mass party of the working class. But its adoption of the BRS (and following Khruhschevism then eurocommunism) led to its collapse. Todays CPB is a parody of the original CPGB. the fact that it still clings to the BRS makes it no more than a small and ineffective pressure group clinging on to the coat-tails of the social chauvinist social democrats (the CPB follows Labour, led by Kier Starmer, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown - no matter how much it may whine about these leaders following “tory policies” as INDIVIDUALS). Effectively the CPB has been reduced, by its program, to being part of the british imperialist system. Until CPB ditches Labour, it simply is not a communist party. Its leading clique hold the keys to its finances, and they are tied to the trade unions which in Britain remain tied to labour also. CPB does not pose the question of BREAKING THE LINK BETWEEN ORGANISED LABOUR AND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY. It seeks to reinforce it. The CPB’s loosely affiliated journal (MS) is also dependant upon funding from the trade union movement that is tied to labour. Hence The MS’ eclectic paupers broth of liberalism and social democracy, and always the position that voting Labour will bring Socialism. How will labour bring socialism??! CPB’s program states: Labour AND the CPB MPs together (!) with all “left wing” groups and organisations (TUC, SNP, Greens, welsh Nats, Cornish Nats, LGBTQ+ individuals, Trotskite comrades etc. etc. - don’t laugh!!) as part of the “broad democratic front”, will put pressure on the government (a “left” labour government - they still entertain fantasies about Corbyn for this reason!) and PAY the state functionaries of british imperialism so well it will win their loyalty (!!) and use the british “westminster” parliament itself, and the bourgeois state apparatus in general (courts, army generals, police spies, the soldiers trained to shoot down the revolutionary workers) in order to bring the “left wing program”
. So. the CPB thinks it will take the British imperialist state (by electing Labour!), and make it an instrument of working class rule (through the Labour party AND the People’s assembley!!)
 and then maybe, just maybe, if problems arise
 this will lead to
 [unstated]
 and this is the “British road to socialism.” It is the british road to nowhere. shop.thecommunists.org/produ
 We are serious in this point. Please read this analysis of the CPB’s program. It has been a disaster for the working class in Britain. And so the CPB is shot through with a “left” social democratic culture and ideology. You will not find even a shred of Marx in its practice. Let alone Lenin. Unless you depend very heavily on the line “win the battle of democracy” from the manifesto, while studiously ignoring the lesson of the Paris Commune that “the proletariat cannot simply lay hold of the ready made bourgeois state apparatus and wield it for its own ends”. And ignoring the lessons of the Great Socialist October Revolution. And every other successful revolution of the working masses. Ignoring all lessons of history will not help the british workers. It is a service only to the bourgeoisie. That’s why CPB is happy to cooperate with trotskyites of StW. Was happy to supervise the expulsion of communists - us - from “stop the war” for raising the question of supporting Gaddafi and opposing British imperialism when Britain and NATO destroyed that country in 2011. Because the Trots too support Labour. So. The CPB is a dead end. To join it is to end your useful political life.

Vive la commune! French students pay tribute to the immortal rising of the French workers in1871. Marx proclaimed that the communards had “stormed heaven”, overthrowing the rule of all exploiters and for the first time establishing - for 71 tumultuous days - the rule of the Working People themselves. It was the harbinger of the 1917 October revolution in Russia, and its lessons opened the door to the mechanism by which the working people will rule society - the commune gave us the keys to our future socialist society. It is fitting that the youth of France in their powerful uprising draw upon this mighty historical example: The armed workers as the state. The smashing of the corrupt and discredited state of the oppressive capitalist class and its figure-head, Macron. An assembly composed of workers themselves, without special privileges, elected by popular vote for short terms of one year, and subject to recall at any time. A body both legislative and executive. Only by such an organisation of working class power can the working class rule society. Only in this way can power be exercised by the masses themselves - not the corrupted and venal representatives of the capitalist class. thecommunists.org/2021/03/18
 “150 years on, Marx’s vivid portrait of the world’s first working-class government still impresses with its ‘short powerful strokes of such clearness and truth’.” The link above is to a brief historical sketch of the Commune, from Karl Marx‘s third address to the International Working Men’s Association, written in May 1871 as the Commune fell. The address was included in a collection of articles on the Franco-Prussian war and the Commune titled The Civil War in France, published in 1871. Lasting just 71 heroic days, the Paris Commune was the first ever attempt by the working class to take and hold power in the interests of the masses – the world’s first workers’ state. For more on the Commune, see PO Lissagaray’s History of the Paris Commune, which was published in 1876 and translated into English by Eleanor Marx.

“Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live, that dying he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world — the fight for the liberation of humankind.” Nikolai Ostrovsky At this time there is no other meaningful way to spend your life than to fight the rising tide of militarism and war, fascism and Zionism, despoliation and destruction of our world and the mass of humanity by global finance capitalism. That is the struggle against British and American imperialism. It is the struggle too against the liberal luftwaffe of the NATO countries that daily shower Russia with missiles and drones and daily rain destruction on Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon and Iran. That strangle Venezuela and Cuba, steal elections, destabilise governments, and all to impose ever harsher penury and wage slavery upon the working masses. In Britain, above all, it is the fight against the social democratic Labour Party imperialist gangsters, who wage the wars and genocides, control our trade unions and chain the British workers to the war chariot of imperialism. antifascistinternational.uk

North Korea’s determination to build a strong defence capability and establish itself as a nuclear power has underpinned its ability to resist the imperialist war drive and to continue to advance its planned economy in every field, from housing and healthcare to industry and agriculture. Over the years, many people, including many on the left, have criticised or slighted the DPRK – for its nuclear policy, for its staunch adherence to socialist principles in politics and the economy, and on this or that spurious pretext. But as tragic and sanguinary events unfold one after another – in the middle east, in Latin America and the Caribbean, and elsewhere – they provide stark confirmation of the correctness of the policies consistently pursued by the DPRK and the WPK, even when other options might have seemed easier, or when superficially attractive blandishments had been put on the table. Had the DPRK not stood firm on its principles at all times, the potential and all too tragic consequences are confirmed with each day. By standing firm, even in the face of temporary hardships, the people of the DPRK can now enjoy a steadily better and more fulfilling life – in an atmosphere of internal and external safety, security and stability that should rightly be the envy of people around the world. thecommunists.org/2026/05/01

You can talk about nationalising industry and building council houses all you like, but if you’re not prepared to sweep away the system entirely and replace with a state run by and for workers, you might as well promise fairies at the end of gardens.

Never forget where fascism comes from. It is the open, naked and aggressive dictatorship of the capitalist class over the workers. Its chief aim is to crush the workers independent program and leadership - Marxism, Leninism, communism. As Britian slides towards social repression and fascism, lets remind ourselves who are the enemy: the capitalists. The financiers. The billionaire elite. It is they - “the respectable ones” - who make the wars, who make the wounds, who manufacture consent for the genocide, and repress all opposition. “Who Financed Hitler” [Book James and Suzanne Pool] Henry Ford (USA), Emil Kirdorf and Fritz Thyssen (Germany), and ultimately, the entire monopoly capitalist class: “Thus Thyssen [Mager German Steel magnate and industrial tycoon] began to think, as Hitler had already, of the lower classes away from Marxism. When this idea was combined with the beliefs that Thyssen drew from his unpleasant personal experiences since 1918, the result was amazingly similar to Hitler's basic political program. “In October 1923, just a month before Hitler's putsch, it looked as if there was about to be another Communist revolution in Germany. Thyssen decided to visit General Ludendorff in Munich and ended up giving him 100,000 gold marks to distribute between the Nazi Party and the Free Corps Oberland. On November 9, 1923, Hitler's attempted putsch was brought to an abrupt halt.” “Thyssen spoke of Hitler and Göring “with warmth" and explained that they were a kind of "new men" who would make Germany united and strong again and put an end to the threat of Communism. To his more apprehensive fellow industrialists, Thyssen would say, slightly irritated: "None of us can get the country out of the mess!" And he would shrug off that part of Hitler's program that advocated discrimination against the Jews. Hitler himself did not mean it, he assured Jewish friends. As for Hitler's socialism: "Good God, a leader of the masses on the make has to say many things." The revolution was to be a strictly national revolution, not a social one. He had Hitler's word for it.” “Yet, unlike Henry Ford, Thyssen never became an ideological anti-Semite. He continued to be on good terms with Jewish business as-sociates, separating in his mind "good Jews" (patriotic and pro-capitalist) from "bad Jews" (Communists and socialists). “This he regretted; but, as he wrote to a Jewish friend, the prominent Berlin banker Dr. Arthur Salomonsohn, the antiSemitism of the National Socialist Party was only a pragmatic means used to win popular support. Once the masses had turned away from Marxism and become nationalist-minded again, Kir-dorf assured his friend, such unsavory methods would be dispensed with.“

 On the morning of Thursday 9 April, the police again came to the home of Dr Ranjeet Brar, general secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist), to arrest him for making a political speech outside the US embassy (see video attached), on charges of “antisemitism”. Not only have the police arrested him, they arranged to have him suspended from his work as an NHS surgeon for at least two weeks – no doubt with a view to further suspension and ultimately with the aim of depriving him of work. We call on everyone who supports free speech and opposes imperialist war crimes to share this information far and wide. And to send us video messages of support. Let the Labour government know its crimes are not going unnoticed and will not be unopposed. Stop political policing in Britain before we lose all right to political speech and political organisation!

Libya negotiated. Let's be precise about what happened to Libya. In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi made a strategic decision to abandon his weapons programs, open his country to international inspectors, and normalize relations with the West. He paid reparations for Lockerbie. He dismantled his nuclear program. He cooperated with Western intelligence against Al-Qaeda. He did everything that was asked of him. He negotiated. He complied. He normalized. In 2011, NATO bombed Libya for seven months. His own military turned against him with Western backing. He was captured in a drainage pipe. A mob sodomized him with a bayonet while Western officials watched via satellite feed. Hillary Clinton laughed about it on camera. "We came, we saw, he died." The man who gave up his deterrent in exchange for promises of security and normalization died in a drainage pipe while the people who made him those promises laughed at the footage of him being sodomized with a bayonet. And Libya, which had the highest GDP per capita in Africa, free healthcare, free education, housing subsidies, and a functioning welfare state, became a failed state with open slave markets within three years. This is what negotiated security guarantees look like. This is the documented outcome. Not a fringe case. Not a misunderstanding. The most complete, unambiguous illustration possible of what your weapons are worth the moment you give them up. The lesson is not complicated. The only deterrent is a deterrent you still possess. The moment you negotiate it away, you have nothing left to negotiate with.
"Negotiations" this word the people of the world hate most. You can stand against the devil fighting. The moment you stop you're done.

This is the moment our member and dear comrade Steve Sweeney was almost killed by the Israeli Zionists, acting hand in glove with US and British Imperialism. Steve has been reporting on the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. His news pierces the imperialist-Zionist Propaganda. Here he was making an on-the-ground report in Lebanon. There can be no doubt that this was 100% premeditated and targeted at Steve, in line with the Israeli policy of murdering journalists to kill the evidence of their atrocities. It is almost certain that our “Labour” prime minister @Keir_Starmer, and “Labour” foreign secretary @YvetteCooperMP and Armed forces minister @JohnHealey_MP, and other cabinet level “Labour” ministers were aware of and green-lit the assassination attempt. Make no mistake, comrades. We are at war. And the Labour Party is the enemy running the imperialist murder machine. They walk among us. Anyone who supports Labour is the enemy of the British workers.

This is Fyodor Okhlopkov. He worked on a collective farm before the Great Patriotic War. When he was mobilized, he went to sniper school and became one of the deadliest snipers in history, with 429 confirmed Wehrmacht and SS kills. This does not include 27 more Germans he killed with his machine gun and a few others he killed with his bare hands, beating them to death. After the war, he returned to Yakutia and worked on the same collective farm he had left before, living an ordinary life. He was later awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union.
