Different times, different slogans

24 Oct 2024

Just because the Bolsheviks dropped defeatism, does not mean communists should do so today. That is obvious. But, though the CPGB calls for “turning what is a war between reactionary capitalist powers into a civil war”, Carla Roberts says that when engaging with others on the left, it is vital to uphold the phrase ‘revolutionary defeatism’, the ‘main enemy is at home’ slogan and the call for a workers’ militia

Preparations for what?

24 Oct 2024

Leaked documents give us a hint about what Israel is planning to do against Iran. Meanwhile, almost unbelievably, it is readying northern Gaza for colonisation, writes Yassamine Mather

We need clear red lines

24 Oct 2024

Fighting fascism and racism by marching with Zionists is an unmistakable example of rank opportunist betrayal. Zionism is racism. To effectively combat today’s far right we must, argues Jack Conrad, begin with clear definitions, a firm grasp of history and reject the ‘broad as possible’ approach of popular frontism

Leave or starve

17 Oct 2024

Threats to halt the supply of some arms owe more to next month’s presidential election than any real concern for the population of north Gaza. Meanwhile, the world awaits Israel’s latest ‘retaliation’ against Iran. Yassamine Mather reports on a region spiralling into hell

Wrong and right war politics

What’s really behind the war?

10 Oct 2024

South Africa provides no strategic guide. The indigenous population is neither needed nor wanted. Zionism has two key strategic aims: ethnic cleansing and maintaining regional hegemony, Moshé Machover explains

Notes on the war

10 Oct 2024

It has, for the moment, become the forgotten war. Nonetheless, warns Jack Conrad, there is a distinct danger of escalation, even nuclear weapons, not least if the use of British Storm Shadows against Russia has been given the go-ahead

Establishing a principled left

03 Oct 2024

CPGB’s Provisional Central Committee calls for others on the left, individuals and organisations, in Britain and internationally, to discuss and agree this statement with a view to cementing principled unity and furthering the struggle against war and capitalism

Itching for war on four fronts

03 Oct 2024

Tehran’s theocratic regime has fallen into a ‘trap’ of Netanyahu’s making. With Israel wanting to fight Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon and Iran, the whole region looks in danger of being dragged down into a terrible conflagration. Yassamine Mather looks to the revolutionary politics of the working class

Don’t mention fake anti-Semitism

26 Sep 2024

Thousands marched in Liverpool to protest against Labour’s complicity with Israel, but, writes Ian Spencer, Lindsey German did not come out of things with flying colours

Third war begins

26 Sep 2024

Despite supposedly working ‘tirelessly’ for peace, the US is doing nothing to hold Israel back. Yassamine Mather warns that the war on Lebanon could conceivably see Iran dragged into the conflict

Political organisation is key

19 Sep 2024

Against the background of the escalation of the war in Ukraine, genocide in Gaza and a US election which may influence both, this month’s CPGB aggregate examined the drive to wider international conflict and the left’s political problems. Ian Spencer reports

Upping the ante

19 Sep 2024

Vladimir Putin warns that we are on brink of nuclear war, writes Eddie Ford. Perhaps, not yet, but with the kabuki dance over Storm Shadows the evidence of ‘mission creep’ is unmistakable
