Support the crowd justice campaign. (Legal challenge against the IHRA's free speech restrictions on Israel- right to protest) https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/leg... The British state is increasingly targeting anti-imperialist voices and our party has been directly subjected to this repression. This is no accident. As imperialism decays, political repression and the suppression of free speech intensify, specifically aimed at silencing anti-imperialist messages and organised resistance. The ruling class deliberately conflates opposition to the colonial project of Israel with hatred of Jewish people. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. The IHRA definition of antisemitism is being weaponised to suppress Palestine solidarity, criminalise dissent, and erode free speech for anti-imperialists. In this interview on Jedal (Ali Alizadeh), Comrade Ranjeet shares his experiences working within the NHS, alongside a history of our party and the work we do.

Tune into Proletarian Radio for a grounded and unflinching look at the world through a Marxist lens. Produced by The Communists, this regular broadcast cuts through the noise of mainstream news to offer a class-based perspective on unfolding political crises, international conflicts, and the struggles of working people everywhere. Each episode delves into current events with a focus on material analysis, drawing from the theoretical framework of scientific socialism as developed by the CPGB-ML. You’ll hear detailed discussions that connect daily headlines to broader historical and economic forces, providing context often missing from other reports. This isn't just commentary; it's a tool for understanding the root causes of inequality and imperialism. The aim is to arm listeners with knowledge that informs action, fostering a deeper comprehension of how to challenge the status quo. For those seeking a substantive alternative to conventional news cycles, this podcast serves as both an educational resource and a call to collective organisation. The conversations here are built on the principle that to change the world, one must first systematically understand it.
