A statement from Anti*capitalist resistance on the upcoming 4 July 2024 General Election.
As socialists, we are clear: the Conservatives are the class enemy who represent the interests of big business and some of the most reactionary ideas in our society. As the founder of the NHS, Nye Bevan, (…)

In May 2023 the British SWP’s Central Committee issued an inadequate and unconvincing “press release” appologising for their management of a 2013 crisis, when the SWP defended a Central Committee member accused of rape and drove out of their organisation those who supported the women complaining (…)

A report in the Morning Star of 26 July announced “Starmer’s benefits stance prompts bid for new party”. It was a news item, but it read more like a plug: “Figures from the labour movement have called for the creation of a new party ‘Transform’, warning that Sir Keir Starmer is ‘planning to (…)

George Galloway does not get in the news often these days.
Yet the dapper gent in the Fedora has sometimes, not often, or indeed hardly ever, certainly not in recent left publications, been considered a historic figure, of inspirational value.
In a panegyric, Beyond Labourism, to (…)

The documentary Oh Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie has been drawing sizeable crowds to ticket-only showings and is now slated to be shown at Glastonbury.. I hope the festival thinks again.
The film presents a full-blown conspiracy theory about Corbyn’s opponents, conflating Zionists, Jews and (…)

Sometimes, calling for peace at all costs means siding with the oppressor.
It’s been a year since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. What Vladimir Putin hoped would be a three-day conquest has turned into a prolonged stalemate. As fighting rages on, so too do debates about (…)

Writing post-mortems of Corbynism is something of a cottage industry. In 2022 alone, Oliver Eagleton, James Schneider, and Andrew Murray have all published books offering an “insider perspective” on the left-wing resurgence in and around the U.K. Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn from 2015 to (…)

The pending anniversary of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine is a good occasion for working people around the world to signal full support to the inspiring Ukrainian resistance in defence of their sovereignty. This is not what is offered by the Stop the War Coalition demonstration scheduled for (…)

I only made the second half of the Stop the War Coalition (STWC) trade union conference on 21 January, but I think I got a pretty good sense of the event’s politics. It was broadly what I expected.
What was said about opposing war and militarism in general, and increased militarisation and (…)

On the 10th of December 2022, the revolutionary Marxist tradition tragically lost of one its finest proponents. 74 years old, 54 of them as a revolutionary, John Molyneux—thinker, writer and revolutionary activist—was a long-distance runner on the road to a post-capitalist world and (…)

Even Ukrainian workers are fighting for their own rights – that’s the point of union solidarity.
Britain’s current wave of strikes, according to Nadhim Zahawi, chairman of the Tory party, is “exactly what Putin wants to see”. He accused nurses of playing into the Russian dictator’s hands by (…)

Morning Star writer Ian Sinclair reckons he’s uncovered “the top under-reported story of 2022 ... the news the British government worked to prevent a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine war in March-April 2022” (12-13 November).
In fact, this story has been circulating for months and the (…)

A word that has come back into use recently is ‘campism’: “referring to the notion that the world is fundamentally divided into two camps, one imperialist and the other anti-imperialist.” Originally it referred to those who took the stand of the ‘Socialist’ states against the Western (…)
