North Wales @CPBritain joined Wrexham Anti-Fascists on Sunday to stand against fascism. “Wrexham Unite” had right wing agitators from “Patriots of Wolverhampton” & “raise the colours” Despite this, Wrexham stood strong against hate & for hope #solidarity welshcommunists.org/1203/

100 years ago today, 1.7 million British workers walked out. Not for themselves. In solidarity with miners facing wage cuts and longer hours. For nine days, Britain stopped. No trains ran. No newspapers printed except the workers' own bulletins. The docks fell silent. The government deployed troops and middle-class strikebreakers, but they couldn't keep the system running. Because the system runs on working-class labour, and for nine days, that labour said no. The TUC capitulated on day nine. Called it off without winning a single demand, abandoned the miners to seven more months of starvation before defeat. That betrayal cost us decades. But those nine days proved something the ruling class has never forgotten: when we organise collectively, we can shut down the entire capitalist economy. They criminalised solidarity strikes after 1926. Made it illegal to do what had just shown our power so clearly. That tells you who was actually threatened. A century on, we face the same fight. Employers are using inflation as cover for real wage cuts. Attacking unions. Demanding we accept austerity as inevitable. And the same question: do we fight collectively or get picked off one sector at a time? The 1926 strike failed because its leadership feared working-class power more than they wanted victory. But the rank and file built strike committees, organised distribution, kept communities fed, and ran their own media. They showed what we're capable of when we refuse capital's logic. #GeneralStrike #LabourHistory #WorkingClass #TradeUnions #Solidarity #ClassStruggle

Born into privilege, he could've stayed comfortable. He didn't. Dropped out in '38, grabbed a banjo, joined the Young Communist League at seventeen. Never apologised. Never recanted. This is what solidarity looked like: singing at union halls for striking workers and co-founding the Almanac Singers with Woody Guthrie. The Weavers were topping charts whilst openly communist. When they blacklisted him, when HUAC dragged him in, he didn't plead the Fifth. He invoked the First Amendment—told them they had no right to interrogate Americans about their beliefs. Contempt of Congress, convicted, sentence overturned, but the damage was held. A decade shut out of television, major labels, and mainstream America. He survived playing in colleges, summer camps, and union halls. The grassroots never abandoned him. He marched with King in Selma. Turned "We Shall Overcome" from a tobacco workers' strike song into the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Sang against Vietnam so hard that CBS censored him. Showed up for every labour struggle within reach, UAW, mine workers, textile strikes down South. His banjo was class memory. "Which Side Are You On?" "Solidarity Forever." Songs that outlived their strikes, their defeats, because Seeger kept them breathing. At ninety-two, months before he died, he joined Occupy Wall Street - same song, same fight, six decades later. He chose his side at seventeen. Never wavered. The banjo outlasted the blacklist. The songs outlasted the singer.

Happy May Day 🫡💪🚩 #votecommunist #votechris

Trump's May Day executive order is an act of genocidal intent against Cubans and Socialist Cuba. Those who defend Cuba's right to self determination will draw the logical conclusion. Cuba's fight is our fight #SocialismOrBarbarism Pick your side #CubaSeDefiende

Berlin falls. The workers' state crushes the fascist beast. Twenty-seven million Soviet dead: workers, peasants, partisans – paid the price for this victory. The liberal myth says we all beat Hitler together. That is whitewashing. While Britain and America delayed the second front and let the Soviets bleed, while Churchill plotted Operation Unthinkable to rearm the Wehrmacht against our liberators, it was the Red Army – organised, armed workers – who smashed fascism into the dirt. They want you to forget. They want you grateful to the same ruling class that funded Hitler, that let Spain burn, that built an empire on fascism's blueprint. They want you to think capitalism saved you. It didn't. Communists did. 81 years on, NATO encircles. Fascism crawls back across Europe, funded by the same capitalist forces it always served. They're coming for migrants, for Roma, for Muslims, for anyone who doesn't fit their pure, profitable order. We beat them before. We'll beat them again. But only if we organise. Join the Communist Party. Because liberals will always make peace with fascists. We won't.

Community Wealth Building is a way to get local charities, businesses and communities personally invested in what amounts to little more than a lottery system. True community wealth is built when the communities themselves are in power. #votecommunist #votechris
