The repression of the social movement in Bolivia demonstrates the growing offensive of the Latin American bourgeoisie against the working class. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

In the UK local elections on 7 May, the ruling Labour Party suffered a humiliating defeat. This has (again) brought calls out into the open for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to quit. The figure seen as most likely to replace him is Andy Burnham. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

@anArrogantCruxo The CEO has written about it extensively and it is significantly included in CCRO (the ICT text on our views on the party/class question). leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Is there anything on the irony/tragedy of the polish solidarity union?

In 2026, therefore, the need for a proletarian and internationalist initiative is greater than ever. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Today we are at the Teesside Radical Bookfair. Next week, we'll be at the Newcastle Ewan Brown Anarchist Bookfair.

The outcome of the Beijing Summit is a package of precarious agreements and false promises, behind which looms the spectre of the final clash between the two imperialisms. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

«La huelga general de 1926: diez días que no lograron conmover al mundo», por @CWOUK Por su relevancia publicamos en español el siguiente artículo en el que se evidencian los límites del sindicalismo en la lucha revolucionaria de la clase obrera. colectivoobrerocomunista.wordpress.com/2026/05/11/la-…

Our strength comes from acting as a class. This necessarily involves organising our own struggle – not leaving it to union officials or politicians (even leftist ones!), whose job it is to impose capitalist crisis on us. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Today we are at the Edinburgh Anarchist Bookfair. This month, you can also expect us at the Teesside Radical Bookfair (23 May) and the Newcastle Ewan Brown Anarchist Bookfair (30 May).

The UK’s problems are not unique. The crisis of the capitalist system itself is bringing us poverty, massive inequality and barbaric warfare. It’s time to end it. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Neither of the old Labour/Tory dichotomy have found any solution to a capitalist crisis which has now gone on for decades. Thus the electoral path is now open for not just one, but two ‘upstart’ parties. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Grasping the lessons of 1926 means understanding why it concluded the way it did: with dashed hopes and failure to accomplish its aims. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Our pamphlet, "1921: Beginning of the Counter-Revolution?", is out now in a revised and expanded edition! Order at: leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

This year CWO members alongside other internationalists attended May Day events in Leicester, Nottingham, Cardiff, Manchester, Liverpool and London.

2026 May Day Statement of the Internationalist Communist Tendency leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Individual acts of revenge will not change the fundamental reality we live under. The loss of one billionaire or warehouse is effortlessly absorbed by the giant stinking pool of capital. To really change our lot, we need to get organised as workers. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

Trump assumed the Iran operation would last a few weeks. He hoped to gain maximum advantage at minimum expense. A barrage of missiles in strategic military and civilian areas and the game would be over. But things didn't pan out that way. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

This overwhelming show of force by the working class brought the entire industrial zone to a complete standstill. The events in Noida and the surrounding industrial belt lay bare, without any remaining ambiguity, the true nature of the capitalist state. leftcom.org/en/articles/20…

@louismaximuss The CWO began as a council communist organisation in the 1970s. Some of the classic council communist tracts now available online were first translated by us. Our politics has evolved since - you can disagree with that, but to say we "don't understand it" is nonsense.

I sometimes wonder whether they will ever understand council communists and are genuinely willing to make the effort to do so. I didn’t expect much from Damen, and given the time period, I can better understand some of his comments.

Both the introduction and the text itself are rather weak
