13 years ago, without any organisation, programme, plan or preparation, the Arab masses, in the words of Marx, ‘stormed heaven’. In a matter of weeks they brought down regimes that decades of petitioning by NGO’s and academic do-gooders could not budge an inch. The colossal state-apparatus, employing hundreds of thousands of spies, police officers, and army personnel, could only watch as the masses took over the streets.

In the context of rising tensions across the Arab world, Lubna Badi, leading comrade of the Revolutionary Communist Party, discusses the lessons from this exciting period of class struggle.

The crisis of capitalism is resulting in is renewed tensions between the imperialist powers.

This year’s US election was one of the most turbulent in history. It came amidst rising class contradictions and great instability on the world stage. Never before has American bourgeois democracy been so discredited, and never has it been confronted with so many challenges to its position as the world imperialist power. While neither candidate could solve the fundamental issues of the capitalist system, the victory of Donald Trump is already adding further instability to the US and world situation. Antonio Balmer, leading member of the Revolutionary Communists of America and editor of The Communist (USA), introduced a discussion on the next chapter of the crisis of US capitalism at this year's Revolution Festival. ✊ Help us overthrow the warmongers in Westminster!

In this week's episode of Communist Radio, Ben Gliniecki and Khaled Malachi sit down to discuss Israel's deadly attacks on Lebanon, Iran's retaliation, and the rank hypocrisy of western leaders like Keir Starmer.

In order to put an end to Israel's slaughter, workers and youth must fight the enemy at home – British imperialism and its lackeys in Westminster – with mass, revolutionary action. 🚩 Sign up for Revolution Festival 2024: https://revolutionfestival.co.uk ✊ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party: https://communist.red/join 📰Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence of Marxism: https://communist.red/subscribe 💸 Donate to the RCP: https://communist.red/donate 🌐Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI: https://marxist.com/
