Read the February 2026 issue of our industrial matters free sheet as a pdf: https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/s3.cpgb-ml.org/TheSpark004.pdf With farcical brazenness, a Dubai-based asset stripper has suggested it might buy the remnants of Liberty Steel with help from the UK’s National Wealth Fund. Despite weasel words from politicians of all stripes about ‘saving jobs’ and ‘saving steel’, the truth is that the fate of this vital sector is in the hands of another government committed to carrying forward the ruling class’s long-term deindustrialisation agenda. Manufacturing in Britain is simply not as profitable as manufacturing abroad, and has not been for well over a century. The reality of capitalism in its senile, imperialist phase is that the ruling class finds it far more profitable to fight wars aimed at ensuring access to cheap labour in other countries than to invest in more expensive works and labour here at home – even in these days of minimum wages and neutered trade unions.

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.
