Labour and capital: the antagonism at the heart of capital

Theoretical Discussion / Communist Vanguard

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 / Communist Vanguard

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

British tech: the parasitic sector

Britain / Communist Vanguard

Britain’s $1.2 (2025) trillion tech sector isn’t an industrial powerhouse. It’s a rentier engine. Focused on FinTech, AI, and SaaS / cloud services, its core product is intellectual property: patents, licenses, and proprietary software. This model employs millions of workers but generates value through legal ownership and extraction, not mass production. It’s the perfect capitalist tool for a

The two-child cap was ended to protect capital, not families

Britain / Communist Vanguard

The abolition of the two child cap is being welcomed as a victory for families and proof of a more compassionate government. In reality, nothing of the sort has occurred. This is not a step forward for working class power but a calculated retreat by the bourgeois state, which has withdrawn a policy only after

The poppy is the flag of the ruling class

Britain / Communist Vanguard

Every Remembrance Day, the state tells us to honour the sacrifice of those who fought and died for Britain. Yet it never asks us to remember the real reasons why millions were sent to their deaths. When finance and production are concentrated in the hands of monopolies and banks, ruling classes seek new markets and

Workers, peasants, and soldiers seized power through the Soviets, ending years of war, hunger, and oppression.

Against the imperialist escalation in the Caribbean

Imperialism / Communist Vanguard

Venezuela holds the largest proven oil reserves in the world – a fact that alone explains the intensity of US attention toward it. Since the early 19th century, under the pretext of protecting Latin America trom European intervention, Washington has asserted a permanent claim of dominance over this continent, treating it as its strategic backyard.

They call him communist, we call him petty-bourgeois

The Working Class / Communist Vanguard

Mamdani’s election is being welcomed as a step forward for the leftist and communist movement and for Palestine. We believe however his election does not represent the advance of the working class as a political force, rather The widespread mobilisations for Palestine have revealed a real and important moral anger.

P.A.M.E lessons from Greece for a united front in Britain

Internationalism, The Working Class / Communist Vanguard

From the 1980s onwards, Greece underwent a profound transformation as EU-driven neoliberal reforms imposed severe austerity measures, which led to a dramatic deterioration of the material conditions of the working class. Amid the counter-revolution in the USSR and the decline of class-based politics, trade unions became further absorbed into capitalist management structures. To counter these
