Marxist Thinking

The Communist Party of Britain is for the unity of Britain and against devolution and the fragmentation of a working class. That unity has been the basis for progress. Now we are under sustained attack from the European Union.

The British working class and its trade unions

Zoom discussion meeting

For better or worse, there’s nothing like British trade unions, set up by workers, not by employer, government or church.

The working class created them to survive. Without them capitalism would have starved and worked us to death.

But defence is not enough. If we don’t remove the attackers, they keep coming back. British workers want change, but they still expect someone else to do it for them. That must change.

Come and discuss. Email info@cpbml.org.uk for an invitation.

The government talks peace but can’t keep away from its drive to war. Starmer wants to support Ukraine and now to become involved in the Pacific too.

The ruling class uses war overseas to divert from its problems at home. But the British working class can best act as force for peace by calling for an end to foreign adventures and interference.

Come and discuss. All welcome. Free entry.
