Celebrate 100 years of socialism in 2017: join the struggle for the revolution in Britain.
Fidel Castro gave his life to the service of his people; his was indeed a life well lived. Nobody expected tiny Cuba to survive after the collapse of the USSR, and it is to the undying credit of Comrade Fidel, the Communist Party of Cuba and the Cuban masses that they held firm through all the difficulties of those days. Despite the setbacks our movement has suffered in recent decades, Cuba and its socialist example continue to light a beacon for Latin America and the oppressed world, assuring us of the correctness of our cause and the bright future that awaits humanity when imperialism has been finally defeated.

Hasta la victoria siempre, Fidel; el pueblo, unido, jamás será vencido!
The Angolan ambassador speaks movingly about Cuba's selfless contribution to Angola's liberation struggle, and the Cuban ambassador explains the Soviet Union's inspiration of and contribution to Cuba's revolution and building of socialism.
The recent Brexit vote delivered a splendid blow by workers against British imperialism. Unfortunately, many of those who voted for it were influenced by the cancerous xenophobia that presently affects some sections of the British proletariat. This nasty and highly-publicised aspect of the Brexit campaign led many decent people to vote to remain in the EU, simply to avoid being tainted by association. In doing so, however, they were associating with an even greater evil -- the murderous, warmongering, exploitative, oppressive -- and, indeed, xenophobic -- interests of imperialism. Read the leaflet
The election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour party brought with it a great surge of hope to all those who still believe that if only Labour can get ‘back to its roots’ and win an election on a left-social-democratic platform, the problems of crisis and war can be tackled fairly; that by taxing the rich more effectively and refusing to launch imperialist wars, the government could balance its books and bring back the fast-diminishing welfare state; and that the People’s Assembly is right when it asserts that “austerity is a political choice, not a necessity”. But this view is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the world in which we live ... Read the leaflet
By 2017/18 Britain's annual PFI repayment will reach a staggering £10.1bn, as we are forced to repay up to 12 times the initial sums 'loaned'. This usury is quite literally costing lives, and scrapping it could save the NHS, yet none of our ministers will be persuaded to 'see sense': servicing capital is their goal, not safeguarding our health.

British workers need to understand that, unlike the Nato invaders, Russia was invited by Syria's popular government to support its army and people. Russia is wanted in Syria; it is trusted by Syrians. Russia is helping target all terrorist groups that are attacking Syria's people and trying to overthrow their elected government; Nato targets only those it cannot control. Russia is invested in the national independence of a free, secular, sovereign Syria; Nato wishes to destroy all vestiges of Syrian independence. Read the statement
The first world war was fought by the major imperialist powers in order to determine which powerful countries should control which portions of the world as colonies and spheres of influence, and the heavy price of their forceful redivision was paid by the workers and peasants of Europe and the colonies in blood. The people's revolutionary anger was pivotal in bringing about the Easter Rising in Ireland and led to the success of the October socialist revolution in Russia and the former Russian colonies.
Today, our imperialist rulers are working hard to deceive us about both the causes and consequences of WW1; their hired hacks are proving afresh the observation of Frederick Engels that the 'best-paid historiography is that which is best falsified for the purposes of the bourgeoisie'. If we wish to stop the next world war, we must avoid the traps being set for us by the professional liars. The lessons that we learn will have a direct impact on the success of our fight for socialism in the 21st century. More info
In a perverse twist, politicians, supported by the media, are now starting to use the refugee crisis to step up their open aggression in Syria. Just as IS, which was itself built up by western imperialism and its allies in the first place, was used as an excuse for direct attacks, certain politicians and commentators have started arguing that the best way to help the refugees is to drop even more bombs on Syria!

How is it possible that our rulers have fooled so many of us so effectively? How is it that, despite the hideous consequences of austerity taking effect amongst Britain's most vulnerable workers, and despite the unpopularity of the cuts, so many workers were convinced that voting Tory, Ukip, LibDem, SNP or Labour was the right thing to do?

Cameron may derive a false sense of security from sheltering under Obama's wing, but the reality is that imperialism is taking the British people into the most direct confrontation with Russia since 14 imperialist armies were pitted against the fledgling Soviet Republic in 1919. Read the leaflet
The lessons from science and from history are clear. We support the independence movements of the oppressed nations because that weakens imperialism and enables workers to unite on the basis of equality. Scotland is neither a separate nation nor is it oppressed.
Therefore to support Scottish nationalism is to divide the working class for no good reason. The coming anti-capitalist struggles will be hard enough; we have no business making them even harder by allowing ourselves to be corralled into smaller and smaller groups. Read the article
We are not only consumers but workers. Our media unions have the power to organise their members to refuse to write, publish or broadcast war propaganda. We have a duty to remind the public of the Nuremberg ruling that the creation of such propaganda is itself a war crime.
Our manufacturing unions need to back us up so that those who are making munitions for Israel can refuse to carry out such work. Those of us who provide any goods or services to Israel and to the settlements should be empowered to withdraw our labour-power from such work and explain exactly why we are doing so to the British public.

It is clear that US imperialism dreams of subjugating Russia, overwhelming the People's Republic of China and achieving world domination. It is equally clear that it will ultimately be no more successful than were the original Hitlerites
We workers in the imperialist countries have a duty to fight for the disbandment of this predatory, warmongering neo-Nazi alliance, which brings death, destruction and misery to our brothers and sisters all over the world. Read the leafletRead the full article
Social democrats -- Labour and all those who ask us to put our faith in it -- are passionately attached to the idea that monopoly capital can somehow be 'fixed'. All the groups popping up to declare themselves as 'people's assemblies' pledged to 'unite the resistance' in an 'anti-cuts alliance' behind a 'network of shop stewards' have one common trait: they are all desperate to persuade workers that capitalism can be reformed by mass protest; desperate to stop us from learning Marxist science, taking a revolutionary path and abolishing the system that is at the root of all our problems. Read the leaflet
Our rulers have made it clear what their plan is: they hope to pass the burden of their latest crisis onto the backs of working people through austerity and war, saving their fortunes and their system at our expense. They do not care what catastrophic effects their self-preservation strategies have on the planet or the masses of humanity.
It is time for Britain's workers to make an alternative plan. If we want to stop this assault, we must stop expecting the minions of the capitalist state to deliver justice and get organised to claim what is rightfully ours. Read the leafletRead the full article
Where does women's oppression come from? How can we end it? As the crisis deepens, the situation of women is becoming worse and not better. Women are disproportionately affected by cuts and unemployment, while the rights of working women with caring responsibilities are once more being openly attacked by employers who demand 'flexibility' above all else.
In the context of the latest US-led military exercises, more and more deadly military equipment is being poured into the Korean tinderbox. Three warships are gathering in the waters just off Korea's coast, and thousands of US soldiers are engaged in full-scale dress-rehearsal for a nuclear war.
Meanwhile, nuclear-capable US B-52 bombers have been practising bombing raids over Korea, awaking memories among the people of the DPRK of how every town and city in their country was flattened by US carpet-bombing raids in the genocidal war of 1950-53. Four million Koreans were killed as a result of imperialism's barbaric assault on their country. Read the statement
An understanding of society (theory) and a way of uniting to change it (organisation) are the two things that we need to make a socialist revolution. Ordinary people in Britain have everything to gain by getting involved in this process sooner rather than later. This world isn't working for us and we deserve better!
Not only do we need to campaign against the bad conditions and lack of prospects for working-class people in Britain today, but we need to work for a completely different type of society -- one where people's needs decide everything.
So many problems face this world: environmental catastrophe, poverty, disease, racism and war. They'll never be solved while capitalism remains, but they could all be sorted if society was set up for the benefit of the majority rather than the private gain of a few billionaires.
Our party is different because we consistently apply Marxist science to all areas of our work, and we're not scared to tell it how it is. We refuse to be intimidated by the barrage of lying propaganda that fills Britain's mainstream media. It is the capitalists' job to try to stop us from building a socialist society; it is our job to do it anyway!
Challenge your ideas -- challenge their propaganda -- seek the truth -- serve the people -- change the world!
