I spoke with Garland Nixon today about the state of democracy in the west. Why is it so hard for ordinary people to influence outcomes in our societies? Were the things we learned in school about Britain being the home of modern democracy and the House of Commons being the 'Mother of all parliaments' ever really true?
We talked about how decaying capitalist-imperialism needs to keep workers as distracted as possible from their declining conditions by an ever-more hysterical and partisan 'news cycle', which does not actually represent the really important things that are going on in the world and only aims to keep workers 'entertained', demoralised and divided into tribal 'culture wars' groupings.
And we discussed the nature of the state under conditions of capitalist rule, and how that differs under socialism. What is the content of the term 'democratic socialism' and whose interests do the self-identifying 'democratic socialists' really serve? What politics do the Greens really represent? Can politicians like Zohran Mamdani in the States and Zach Polanski in Britain really be as 'anti-establishment' and 'disruptive' as the spin doctors want us to believe?

What is at stake is not merely the future of a few hundred workers, but the question of who should pay for the capitalist crisis. Strikers were blocked some months ago from taking the kind of effective picketing action that would have brought about a quick resolution to the dispute. Court injunctions threatened sequestration of funds and the union caved. The anti-trade-union laws will need to be defied en masse by our movement if they are to be removed from the statute books. While they remain, they will continue to undermine the efforts of workers in struggle.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/17/leaflets/no-deportations-defend-tfl-workers/
The ruling class is working overtime to pit worker against worker. We must not allow it to succeed in its aim of neutralising our resistance.
Hyperbolic statements about the ‘threats’ posed by migrants and asylum seekers, alongside blanket media coverage given to theatrical acts of deportation, are being used to stoke social tensions, distract workers from the real cause of their problems, justify militarisation of the police, and encourage scapegoating. All of which keeps migrant workers disciplined and fearful, while simultaneously fuelling the narrative amongst the rest of the working class that migration is responsible for all the social and economic problems they face.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/06/07/news/rmt-campaign-outsourcing-railways/
It is not their inability to think logically but their dedication to profit-generation that leads our rulers to destroy public services. Outsourcing is always expensive and often dangerous for passengers and taxpayers. It is certainly miserable and impoverishing for workers. Logic would seem to be in favour of overturning it. Yet inefficient and costly as it is, outsourcing remains an extremely ‘efficient’ method for extracting profit and maximising shareholder dividends – especially when the state is forced to underwrite the operations of private corporations delivering vital services, stepping in to pick up the tab when all possible wealth has been extracted and the vultures have moved on to easier pickings.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/john-frank-swedish-communist-anti-imperialist-obituary/
A much respected comrade of our party’s founding chair, Harpal Brar, and a fine communist activist during the most difficult period for our movement. Along with Harpal Brar, Ludo Martens and others, Comrade Teddy-John Frank was one of the pillars of the global anti-revisionist movement during the dark times after the fall of the USSR.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/07/01/news/china-progress-saving-planet-climate-change/
Despite countless international consortiums aimed at addressing the issue over the decades, capitalist nations have proved unable to handle climate change. China’s economic system is structured in such a way that political and economic priorities are determined not by capital’s drive for constant expansion but by the needs and aspirations of the people.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/23/leaflets/occupy-to-save-steel/
The government is doing nothing to protect British industry; workers must take matters into their own hands. Despite all the weasel words from government about saving the British steel industry, the reality is that vast sums have been spent not on preserving jobs, essential skills and productive capacity, but in oiling the wheels of the industry’s slow demise. Rather than rebuilding the industry on a secure and modern footing, the money has gone to bail out failing capitalists and to pay for furloughs and redundancies that blunt the workers’ will to resist what amounts to the most reckless economic and social vandalism.

https://savageminds.substack.com/p/joti-brar-0bf
Joti Brar, chair of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist CPGB-ML), discusses the compassionless media coverage of the genocide in Gaza and the obfuscation of the horrors of the siege in Gaza.

Affordable and high-quality food is a human right and a social good. Why can’t capitalism fulfil this basic requirement?
There is, in fact, one corner of Britain where the principle of cheap publicly funded, heavily subsidised meals is upheld: the Houses of Parliament.
https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/largest-offshore-wind-monopoly-record-crash/
Is the green stock market bubble starting to burst? Leaving aside the ever-present question of the environmentally-devastating wars the imperialists need to wage to maintain their hold over the world’s people and resources, and despite huge subsidies to monopoly capital to deliver a ‘green transition’, it is clear that the capitalist system is incapable of changing its ways as far as the environment is concerned. It is simply not possible for corporations, or the governments that rule on their behalf, to prioritise long-term planning over short-term profitability.

First Group’s profits vanish without drivers – the exploiters can’t do without workers, but the workers could do fine without an exploiting class! First Group’s operating profits reached £204.3m in 2024, and shareholder dividends increased by 45 percent. These profits, created by milking drivers and passengers alike, weren’t invested in new buses or better wages. They were pocketed by parasitic shareholders who have zero accountability to the hundreds of thousands of workers relying on functional public transport.

‘I’m not going to allow independence of regulators or complexity of regulation to stand in the way of tackling this [‘antisemitism’ / anti-genocide speech] problem.’ As health minister Wes Streeting makes promises to crack down on anti-zionist speech in the NHS, a new free speech advocacy group has been formed to defend the right of healthcare workers to oppose genocide and speak the truth.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/labour-nhs-plan-medicare-for-uk/
We are witnessing the final stage of the wanton destruction of our public health system – a blood-sacrifice on the altar of finance capital. From the 1980s’ introduction of an artificial purchaser-provider split through the creation of hospital trusts and the outsourcing of every possible periphery and then core service, we have reached the stage where the final stages of privatisation of our once-loved health service is being implemented. This is a conspiracy in which every major political party in Britain has been complicit, with politicians of every stripe heavily bribed to play their part in deceiving the people they pretend to represent in order that the NHS can be transformed into a cash cow for international finance capital. Under cover of such watchwords as ‘efficiency’ and ‘modernisation‘, the US model has arrived in Britain, and it is set to cost the working people dearly.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/08/01/news/united-health-stocks-crash-sign-global-economic-crisis/
How did a major monopoly lose $288bn from its stock market valuation in one month? The meltdown of UnitedHealth’s share price is a major economic story that has received very little attention in mainstream media. Could it be that the ruling class hopes to avoid bringing workers’ notice to the exceptionally fragile state of the global economy?

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/history/stalins-library-geoffrey-roberts-resume-book-review-pt4/
The discovery of this library put an end to nonsense about Stalin’s ‘mediocrity’ and shed light on the multifaceted talents of this intellectual and revolutionary giant. Contrary to the myths peddled by Khrushchev and Trotsky and repeated endlessly by anticommunist historians, Josef Stalin was a selfless, modest and devoted revolutionary, and a lifelong student of Marxist-Leninist science.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/history/remembering-china-role-global-antifascist-war-ww2/
China’s enormous sacrifices during WW2 and its epic contribution to the defeat of fascism is routinely overlooked, as is the wider significance of the war in the east. The Chinese people’s titanic struggle against Japanese imperialism played a vital part in the antifascist victory in WW2. Led by the communists, including revolutionary forces from Korea, this struggle also laid the groundwork for the victory of the Chinese Revolution in 1949, and for a string of other democratic and socialist revolutions that took place in east Asia in the following period.

The first wave of anti-HTS resistance has been defeated, but more will surely rise. The destruction of the Syrian Arab Republic was a major blow for the middle-eastern Axis of Resistance, but the overall balance of forces continues to shift away from the imperialist powers and their regional proxies.

https://thecommunists.org/2025/09/01/news/west-preparing-european-theatre-ww3/
Enhanced military budgets are putting west European economies on a war footing, and infrastructure required for transporting armaments is set to be upgraded. As was shown in WW1 and WW2, an increase in military spending can only sustain the economy for a brief period of time, and it requires that the military products being manufactured are used in order that they will then need to be replaced. The greater the percentage of an industrial nation’s budget that is dedicated to the manufacture of arms, ever greater becomes the economic imperative to consume those military goods in war to keep the economy in motion.
