https://thecommunists.org/2025/12/16/news/protests-in-bulgaria-government-fall/ It is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between a popular movement and a provocation. The events in Bulgaria mixed elements of both. Members of the 23 September movement participate in the anti-government protests with a message against the Eurozone, the EU, Nato and imperialist domination of Bulgaria. Subscribe! Donate!

https://thecommunists.org/2025/12/01/news/break-academic-zionism-chains-university-college-dublin/ Social Rights Ireland on the Palestine solidarity encampment and the crisis of imperialist analysis in Ireland. The lack of engagement by Ireland's official ‘left' with the encampment at UCD illuminates a fundamental crisis: the abandonment of a revolutionary understanding of imperialism. The refusal to think beyond moral outrage at the genocide in Gaza, to trace the roots of the genocide to imperialism as a global economic system, is a sign of intellectual and political bankruptcy.

IHRA definition of antisemitism - a tool of political repression

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 21, 2025 60:53


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f54KzxOrRYM Premiered on 8 Dec 2025 The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance is an organisation whose chief aim is to disseminate its 'working definition' of Antisemitism among the nations and institutions of the world. It was first adopted by Theresa May on behalf of the British Conservative (Tory) party in December 2016, but also on behalf of the British Nation. There has been no consultation about this. Nicola Sturgeon led the SNP and Scotland to accept it. Jeremy Corbyn led the Labour Party to adopt it while leader. After him Plaid Cymru, the Greens, the Liberals and every mainstream party of British imperialism has accepted and adopted it. THE definition has been pushed onto schools, universities, the police forces of the UK and now has been forced onto the NHS and all of its institutions in November 2025 by none other than the arch-ZIonist Wes Streeting, currently Labour Party's Health Secretary. It is a dangerous definition because it seeks to brand all criticism of Israel as 'racism' (antisemitism). By doing so it will outlaw all real criticism of Israel's genocide, all support for the freedom struggle of the oppressed in Palestine and by extension elsewhere. It is a means of Political policing and political repression - with very real economic consequences for those accused - by employers, the Labour Party apparatchiks and zionist activists - of "antisemitic" support for Palestine and criticism of Israel. Dr Ranjeet Brar - himself the serial victim of this legislation, definition and action - explains point by point, what is wrong with the IHRA definition, and why a rigorous campaign against it is needed throughout British society, including but not limited to the NHS, to defend basic political liberty and freedom of speech for the whole of the British working class. An essential tool for education and the campaign - please watch it in full and spread it widely. Subscribe! Donate!

https://thecommunists.org/2025/12/01/news/china-marks-80-years-united-nations-launches-global-governance-initiative/ Can the UN system be brought to serve the real interests of the global majority? The Communist Party of China (CPC) is promoting an approach to international affairs that aims to put the principles of the UN charter into practice. What stands in the way of such a development is not the will of the peoples, but the rabid warmongering and endemic supremacism of the imperialist ruling classes. Given the USA's vice-like grip over the UN, it remains to be seen whether that institution can possibly be reformed, or whether the emerging anti-imperialist world will find itself forced to simply set up new mechanisms and institutions elsewhere.

No longer can it call Maduro an undemocratic dictator as it did through the early 2000s and so it has changed tactics. Maduro is now a drug kingpin and a designated terrorist with a bounty on his head. The US wants to invade Venezuela for its oil and to destroy the example it is presenting to the world that there in fact is a different route from capitalism; that route is called socialism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geI5r-tvCK8&t=1s Keith Bennett, an old friend and comrade of Harpal's, and leader of the "Friends of Socialist China" campaign, gives a moving message of condolence. This video was shot in January 2025 at Harpal Brar's memorial service in Bolivar Hall, London. It was a moving tribute and celebration of his life, held with his friends and family, representatives of Socialist nations and fraternal political organisations. Many comrades spoke in moving and generous terms, giving solidarity with his family and party, and paying tribute to his political contribution. We will share the messages of all the comrades who spoke at the service. Harpal Brar was the inspirer and founding Chairman on the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist). He was a lecturer in Law, a barrister, a historian, a marxist scholar, theorist, thinker and teacher. Harpal was one of the foremost leaders of the British working class, and the Indian working class in Britain. He was a great leader of the world communist movement, holding aloft the torch of reason, of proletarian class consciousness and struggle in the dark days after the collapse of the USSR - when the imperialist bourgeoisie were riding high and proclaiming their rotten and parasitic system to be "the end of history". You can read his full obituary here: https://www.lalkar.org/article/4613/h... And find his books here: https://shop.thecommunists.org/produc... He was the editor of the paper of the Indian Workers' Association, and the anti-imperialist workers' journal LALKAR, which can be found here: https://www.lalkar.org Harpal played a role in many of the great liberation struggles of his time, from Zimbabwe and South Africa, Vietnam and Korea, Palestine and the Middle East to the great anti-imperialist cause of Irish reunification and national liberation. And of course he struggled tirelessly to solve the central question of the liberation of the working class from capitalist exploitation and imperialism. Harpal wrote extensively on the question of proletarian revolution and womens liberation. Harpal's criticism of the Labour Party as an imperialist party of Social Democracy is essential reading for all British workers. He wrote on Indian, Zimbabwean, Korean and Vietnamese national liberation, on bourgeois nationalism, black separatism and identity politics. He wrote of course extensively on the great revolutionary movements of the Soviet people and of China, and he wrote on the historical roots of Zionism and imperialism in the Middle East with specific reference to the cause of the Palestinian people for national liberation and self determination. Harpal was undoubtedly a great disciple of Marx and Lenin, and recognised that the Great Socialist October Revolution in Russia as a watershed of cultural enlightenment and freedom for Humanity. Harpal's critique of Trotskyism, his defence of the revolutionary teaching and leadership of Joseph Stalin, and his critique of Khrushchevism and revisionism that caused the downfall of Soviet Socialism is among the lasting theoretical contributions he bequeathed to the communist movement. We are grateful and moved by all of the tributes from his friends and comrades - that flowed to us even before we could speak to any but our closest comrades and family. To all of Harpal's comrades and loved ones: we are sorry for your loss too. We are united in our grief. And our determination to carry on his work. Which is all of our work. The Party was Harpal's wider family in every sense. And remains ours. If Harpal could say one thing to us it would be: “guard the party as you guard the apple of your eye.” He struggled to found and build it in the most difficult conjunction of circumstances, after the fall of the once mighty USSR. It is a great gift - the best of British - that he leaves us. A lutta continua!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJNDJzxewow Maysel Brar, who has worked in the movement under her maidan name of Kathy Sharp, was Harpal's close comrade and companion. They were married in 1966, raised Ranjeet and Joti together, and remained close collaborators, through all difficulties, throughout 60 years of struggle. Her thoughtful tribute is both moving and profound. This video was shot in January 2025 at Harpal Brar's memorial service in Bolivar Hall, London. It was a moving tribute and celebration of his life, held with his friends and family, representatives of Socialist nations and fraternal political organisations. Many comrades spoke in moving and generous terms, giving solidarity with his family and party, and paying tribute to his political contribution. We will share the messages of all the comrades who spoke at the service.

He was a lecturer in Law, a barrister, a historian, a marxist scholar, theorist, thinker and teacher. Harpal was one of the foremost leaders of the British working class, and the Indian working class in Britain. He was a great leader of the world communist movement, holding aloft the torch of reason, of proletarian class consciousness and struggle in the dark days after the collapse of the USSR - when the imperialist bourgeoisie were riding high and proclaiming their rotten and parasitic system to be "the end of history".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeripSiu378 Her Excellency Comrade Ismara Vargas-Walter, Ambassador for Cuba to the UK and Ireland speaks about the lasting significance of the October Revolution to the people of Cuba. It was October 1917 that brought socialism to the world - and Cuba's revolution that brought October into the American hemisphere, the Caribbean and Latin America, and has been a lasting inspiration for the peoples of the Americas striving for freedom from imperialist domination and the US Monroe Doctrine of the Americas being the USA's sphere of imperial domination in particular. SHe talks about the ongoing effects of the Criminal Blockated - inspiration to strangle the Cuban nation and make er"her people scream" since the 'Cuban Missile Crisis' of 1962 and tightened by Helmes-Burton and. in particular Trump's designation Cuba as a "State sponsor of Terrorism" - that makes it almost impossible for Cuba to trade with the world, and in particular to trade and buy vital equipment, spare parts and medicines. Yet despite this, while US imperialism exports colour revolutions, missiles, bombs and wars for regime change, whilst leaving its people languishing in poverty, Cuba cares for its people, provides universal education, housing, food, clothing, shelter, social and medical care, and exports doctors and development aid - as well as the products of its ground breaking science and biotechnology industries. At this great time of attempted strangulation, the Cuban people need above all solidarity and to return to the roots of their revolutionary struggle for independence. Hasta La victoria - Siempre!

Cde Zhou celebrates the 80th anniversary of the victory over Fascism in the great people's anti-fascist War - in which the Soviet Peoples gave 27 million lives and the Chinese people an incredible 40 million lives to defeat the combined forces of German and Japanese Fascism over a protracted period of struggle that encompassed WW2. China is Socialist - and the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party have their origins in and trace their roots to the Great Socialist October Revolution, he says! The Chinese communist party and the PRC continue to grow the economy by leaps and bounds, transforming the prosperity and the lives of the working people, maintaining and safeguarding their independence and in so doing transforming the world for the greater good of humanity. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to the heroic sacrifices of the Chinese People and their lasting contribution to building toward a peaceful and stable, sustainable world. China's great green wall project is responsible for a quarter of global afforestation. China's energy consumption is becoming predominantly based upon green and carbon neutral energy (hydro-electric, photovoltaic, wind and tidal, geothermal and Solar-produced Hydrogen as well as nuclear). China's technological advance is allowing it to break the grip of the monopoly capitalists, in particular the Anglo-American and EU imperialists. China is allowing, via the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, BRICS and the Belt and Road initiative, the whole world a pathway out of financial subjection to the imperialist powers.

Forget about uniting the left Joti Brar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nff_2n5fqWE A message by Joti Brar, Chair of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) on the idea of uniting the supposed 'left'. There is a fundamental distinction between different groups who call themselves 'left'. On the one hand, there are leftists who are only nominally 'left' but ultimately right in form as the results of their actions are contradictory to what they preach, and on the other hand there are leftists who are both left in name and in form: Marxist-Leninists. There can of course be no unity with incorrect stances and correct stances just as there can be no unity between purveyors of the market, and those who call for its abolishment. Marxist-Leninists do not seek to unite the so called 'left'; they seek to educate, organise, and unite the working class for its liberation. This speech was given at ResistFest in Nottingham, October 2021, where Joti Brar was then speaking as deputy leader of the Workers Party of Britain. She is now the vice-chair of the CPGB-ML.

Cultural legacy of the 1917 Great October Revolution

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8E9TAk1LV8 George Korkovelos, Cultural Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain (M-L), gives a short but powerful presentation of the lasting cultural legacy of the Great Socialist October Revolution of 1917. Lenin and the Bolsheviks, in revolutionising Russia, set culture the task of going amongst the working class and peasant masses to truly serve it. The masses must be elevated to the heights of culture. Culture should not be flattened to its lower level. The October Revolution was a true renaissance in human activity and this was reflected in the flowering of its culture. Turning from words to song: George introduces Comrade Eleanore who sings three beautiful songs, each of profound revolutionary significance. 1. “Song of the Volga Boatmen”. A timeless song lamenting the oppression of the toilers, sighing under the oppression of serfdom in the Russian Empire. When Robeson sung the song he united it with the masses of the oppressed throughout the world, in particular with the sufferings of the oppressed black workers and peasants in the USA itself. 2. "Whirlwinds of Danger," an English translation of the Polish socialist revolutionary song "Warszawianka". Paul Robeson recorded a version of this song, much loved by the English and Welsh miners and working class. It was a song sung by the revolutionary people's movements abroad Europe, from Poland to Russia, during the period of the 1880s until the October Revolution. 3. “Bravely, comrades, let's march”. Lyrics by the revolutionary poet Leonid Petrovich Radin, written in 1897 following his imprisonment in Moscow's Taganskaya prison for his dedication to the liberation of the working masses. This song led the Russian workers to October and, enduring the Civil War, resounded on all fronts as the marching anthem of the Red Army. Comrade Eleanore's beautiful voice brings these sacred hymns of the working class to life for us once more. Subscribe! Donate!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUUo0vmNzmI Wilfredo Hernandez of the Venezuelan Embassy in the UK denounces the escalation of the US towards War. Trump has placed a bounty of 50 million dollars on the head of President Nicholas Maduro - democratically elected President of Venezuela, as if her was some cheap gangster in a Hollywood movie. Trump has classed President Comrade Nicholas Maduro and the Venezuelan Bolivarian government of the PSUV to be "Narco-trafficers" and a "Narco-state" - in defiance of all evidence and logic. The US imperialists have attacked and murdered 80 Venezuelans, sailing small vessels within Venezuelan sovereign waters, on the flimsy pretext that they were 'drug traffickers' - without providing a shred of evidence. Venezuela according to global governance bodies does not produce or transport cocaine or other drugs. It is a global anti-narcotic haven of peace and tranquility, thanks to its socialist and popular government since the Bolivarian revolution began. Yet USA has assembled an armada off the coast of Venezuela. It is clear that Trump and the US, here as elsewhere, seek domination and not democracy. They want to get their hands on Venezuela's huge oil, gold and other mineral resources, and once again have free reign to exploit the labour power of her people. But the Venezuelan people - unbowed in the face of this military provocation, which comes on top of decade of escalating sanctions and an all-out economic war that has totally failed to destabilise and subvert their sovereign will - remain unbowed and have mobilised both the regular army and the people to defend their nation. There has been an unprecedented response among the masses of the Venezuelan people, who have enrolled in the people's militia in their tens and hundreds of thousands. Viva Venezuela! Viva Chavez!

Last week I spoke with Nick Cruse of the ‪@revolutionaryblackoutnetwork‬ about what Marjorie Taylor Green and Zohran Mamdani can tell us about the state of bourgeois politics in the imperialist heartlands. We also talked about the creation of controlled opposition, with a particular focus on the pseudo-revolutionary anticommunism of imperialist agent Leon Trotsky and the movement he spawned (Trotskyism). We discussed the true impact of the Soviet Union during the period of VI Lenin and Josef Stalin's leadership of socialist construction, and just why and how workers in the west have been lied to about the USSR's phenomenal achievements. Meanwhile, the US ruling class continues its genocidal campaign to try to starve the Cuban people into submission. After decades of resisting such efforts, what is the source of the tremendous resilience of this tiny island nation? We also spoke about the economic crisis that is gripping the world capitalist system; why it is driving the monopolists and financiers into ever more war, and why we can expect more lay-offs and more austerity at home. The truth is clearer than ever: socialism or fascist barbarism. We can keep begging for crumbs that are not going to come and keep allowing our rulers a free hand to drown the world in blood, or we can take hold of revolutionary Marxist science, build a real working-class organisation, and wage a determined struggle for socialist liberation.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/11/24/leaflets/newark-leaflet-make-britain-great-for-workers/ We do not have to accept the material and moral decadence of our times as inevitable. A better world is possible. The decline we are seeing in Newark is repeated across the rest of Britain's former industrial heartlands, and it will not be reversed under conditions of capitalist imperialism. When we wake up and realise the con we have been subjected to, we must work together for a completely different type of society – one where people's needs decide everything and the economy is organised rationally.

On his recent visit to Russia and Belarus he witnessed a level of social cohesion that is entirely lacking in Britain, France, Germany and the USA. What lies behind the economic and social dislocation and disfunction that are now so apparent in the imperialist heartlands? We discussed the role of the zionists as part of the Anglo-American imperialist machinery worldwide. Why do Israeli trainers and military personnel pop up in all corners of the globe? What is their role and who are they working for? And we also talked about the growing panic over AI, robots and other forms of automation. Are they qualitatively different to previous technological developments, from the wheel to the industrial looms of the 19th century? Is it technology itself that causes problems for humans or something about how it is used? Subscribe! Donate!

CPGB-ML GS Ranjeet Brar on the significance of the Great Socialist October Revolution today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQdXriEJwg Ranjeet Brar, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) delivers the closing speech at our celebration to mark the 108th anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution of November 7th 1917. There have been many revolutions, but not all have had the same significance - because not all are able to perpetuate themselves as the new state apparatus, and create a lasting government that goes on to benefit the people in a creative and positive way, embodying the ideas of the movements and masses that brought about the revolution in the first instance. The October Revolution was such a revolution, and moreover it was a popular mass uprising against the tyranny of Tsardom and Reactionary Capitalist Imperialism that had not only created a world groaning under the weight of colonial slavery, but was drowning that world in blood in order to re-divide its markets, resources and wage-slaves among the chief imperialist powers, the Robber-Barons of finance capital. The October Revolution, in Lenin's words, broke the iron circle of imperialist ties, and the workers of all countries applauded them and supported them for their brave action - that showed the clear path forward for all workers and oppressed. "Peace! Bread! Land!" was the slogan of the October Revolution, and it was the Russian Revolution of October 1917 that brought the end of the 'great' inter-imperialist World War. This year we also celebrate the 80th anniversary victory in the Great anti-Fascist war (WW2), in which the Heroic peoples of the USSR gave 27 million lives, and the Chinese People a staggering 40 million lives in order to vanquish Fascism. Fascism was the naked aggressive terroristic dictatorship of the capitalist class - which the latter resort to when the workers rose in revolutionary temper, organisation and action - in order to suppress the workers and drown the revolution in blood. We see today, that in the face of its global crisis of overproduction, in a desperate attempt to save the moribund capitalist system, that the NATO countries, in particular the Anglo-America imperialists and EU imperialist ruling class, have resurrected fascism and are waging desperate wars against he Peoples of Russia - this time using Ukrainian Fascist strom-troops - and waging a genocidal war upon the peoples of the Middle East, notably in Palestine. They are fighting too in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Congo, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and continue to tighten their financial and political stranglehold upon all neo-colonial countries, while attempting to subvert the socialist nations of Cuba and the DPRK, and all independent countries - notably those of BRICS, with an overwhelming strategic vision and dream of bringing down Russia and China and securing once more their 'unipolar' world order. Yet for all that, the tide of global anti-imperialist resistance is rising. We salute all who have joined this heroic struggle against NATO imperialism, and say unequivocally that British Workers too must break our chains of bondage to our ruling class and join that fight. A better, socialist world is possible. Join us and join the struggle for the liberation of Humanity! ‪@garlandn‬ ‪@revolutionaryblackoutnetwork‬ ‪@neutralitystudies‬ Subscribe! Donate!

Women and Soviet socialism comrade Vicki CPGB-ML

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZw1prITHfg Comrade Vicky of the CPGB-ML speaks about the central role and tremendous impact that revolutionary working women had upon the Great Socialist October Revolution of November 7th 2017, at our celebration of its 108th anniversary held in Saklatvala Hall, Southall, London on Saturday November 8th 2025. Not only did the Women's struggle launch the strike that triggered the October Revolution, but the Bolshevik party and movement would not have succeeded were it not for the participation of very many women throughout its ranks - from Alexandra Kollontai (People's Commissar for Welfare in the initial Soviet government - unheard of and undreampt of in the capitalist nations in 1917!), to Krupskaya and tens of thousands more. Indeed no revolutionary workers movement can succeed unless it is able to mobilise the working women for the struggle. Having come to power, the Revolutionary Soviet government in the RSFSR, in re-building the economy, in uprooting norms of exploitative society, in educating the entire population, and in re-writing the laws and the constitution of the Russian and other Soviet Nations, remade society to suite the needs of the working class and peasant masses, and in so doing revolutionised relations between men and women. For the first time the communist society, under the dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry, put women on an equal footing, creating legal and actual physical social conditions that allowed women to take a full and active part in the running of society, to work and to govern -- including the mass provision of socialised childcare, creates, kindergartens, and high quality dining-rooms and restaurants throughout the territory of the Soviet Union. It was, of course, the Soviet government that not only decreed the equality of women, but gave the women full equality and full voting rights - more than a decade before the Suffaragist movement in Britain succeeded in wresting any voting concessions for women. Truly, in the Soviet Union, Women held up half the sky! Vicky explains the heroic role that Soviet Women took in the ranks of the Red Army, in smashing the Imperialist war of intervention and above all in defeating and dismantling the German Nazi War Machine, launched with vitriolic fury against he Soviet people on June 22nd 1941. This year is the 80th anniversary of the great victory of the Fatherland liberation war and great ant-fascist war, in which the Soviet people gave 27b million lives to Vanquish German and European Fascism - and China some 40 million to Vanquish Japanese Fascism.

While the USA pushes its European ‘partners' to do everything possible to continue the war by any means necessary, no matter what the cost in (other people's) blood and treasure, the Europeans are busy concocting schemes whereby Russia will be somehow forced to foot the bill for Nato's aggression against it.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/11/18/news/striking-doctors-sent-on-suicide-mission/ Why do the unions continuously fail to make the link between medics' conditions and the destruction of the NHS? The ritual call to ‘Kick the Tories out' has long been an essential component of the fake-left's control over the working-class movement. And this inability to understand the system or recognise the nature of our class enemies in turn explains working-class impotence in the face of the direst threats to our lives and livelihoods.

Venezuela is giving lessons in democracy to the west Eleonore Koffi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0E72q3TJBs 17 Nov 2025 Eleonore M'bra Koffi, central committee member of the Communist Party of Great Britain recently spoke at the 9th International Anti-imperialist Conference, organized by the World Anti-imperialist Platform, in Caracas, Venezuela “Comuna o nada”. As the United States empire prepares to confront the Venezuelan people in a conflict for their resources under the guise of promoting 'democracy', Miss Koffi reminds us that the democracy the United States and its lackeys speak of is in fact not very democratic at all. Every four or five years, the populations of the bourgeois democracies are permitted to vote for a new leader or government, but the oppression that occurs in the workplace of capitalists exploiting workers remains intact. When workers inevitably become disgruntled with their conditions, this elected leader is served to them as the sources of their anguish which effectively vindicates the true source: the exploiters at the workplace. On the other hand and contradicting the pervasive propaganda of the US, Venezuela is presenting a shining example of what a grass-roots democracy is like and how our countries can follow suit.
