It’s time to finally abandon social democracy

Britain /

Frequently, ‘left-wing’ unity is presented surrounding the support of social democratic projects, which often masquerade themselves as anti-capitalist endeavours. In Britain, this has found its most recent expression with the launching of Your Party (YP), that has been upheld as a potential vehicle for social change.

Greenland is what imperialism looks like in 2026

Imperialism /

Held amid the Greenland dispute, the Davos meetings neither defused nor contained the confrontation. Trump’s proposal to bring the island under US control remains in fact very much on the table, combining public statements, diplomatic interventions, and open threats of economic retaliation.

Labour and capital: the antagonism at the heart of capital

Theoretical Discussion /

Marx and Engels wrote that ‘The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.’ As Marxist-Leninists, we understand that history develops through contradictions rooted in the material conditions of society, and above all through the contradiction between the development of the productive forces and the relations of production within which they

Don’t trust social democracy; it protects capital, not you

Britain /

Social democracy promises an easier path for the working class, softening the image of capitalism while avoiding confrontation with the system itself. But for workers, confrontation with a system based on exploitation can never be evaded. It channels working class anger into parliamentary illusions, erasing the urgency of class struggle and instructing workers to trust
