CPGB-ML join Arcadia picket in solidarity with underpaid workers

At the crack of dawn on Monday December 12, comrades from the Birmingham party branch travelled to support local workers of the multinational retailing company, Arcadia, that staged a picket to demand better wages from their tight-fisted boss, Philip Green, who was recently in the news for stealing BHS workers’ pensions while pretentiously sailing around in his £100 million luxury yacht (his third one nonetheless)!

Vigil for Fidel

Comrades in London gathered at the Cuban embassy on Saturday, after learning of the death of Fidel Castro, a beloved friend of oppressed and exploited people across the world, and all those struggling to create a better future.

The sad occassion became an opportunity to celebrate the acheivements of the Cuban people and their Comandante en Jefe, Fidel Castro, with comrades from across the world sharing stories of how Fidel and Cuba inspired and informed their fights for liberation and socialism.

Even though it was late in the evening, the Cuban embassy staff allowed us in to sign the condolence book:

To our Cuban brothers and sisters,

It is with great sadness we hear of the death of Fidel, the legendary leader of your revolution and a great inspiration to all exploited and oppressed peoples everywhere.

We know Fidel as a great comrade and a great leader, and his loss is a tragedy for the world, however we are certain of the resolve of the Cuban people to continue on the path of socialist construction and proletarian internationalism.

¡Hasta la victoria siempre!

¡Socialismo o muerte!

Join us on the 10th December, 5pm, at Saklatvala Hall for our commemoration of Fidel (Facebook event).

Fidel Castro dies, but the Cuban Revolution Marches Forward!

On 26th November 2016, Fidel Castro, leader and inspiration of the Cuban revolutionary movement, people and nation, breathed his last.

che-guevara-and-fidel-castro-in-cuba-1964-7We send our heart-felt condolences to the government and people of Cuba, who are one in mourning his passing. This great loss is felt not only by the people of Cuba, but by workers and the oppressed world-wide. Yet even as we lament his passing, we celebrate his life, work, teaching and legacy.

Comrade Fidel has left the Cuban people in an incomparably better situation than he found them, and the example that the Cuban leadership, communist party and revolutionary people continue to set will inspire the world long after his passing. He has lived a good life, and died – against all the wishes of our implacable enemies, the international and particularly the US imperialist bourgeoisie – a good death.
