Through enclosures, land seizures, and the dissolution of common rights, English capitalism forcibly dismantled traditional ways of life, driving peasants and craftsmen from their land and into the industrial workforce. This process of dispossession created a class of wage labourers—the proletariat—whose survival depended on selling their labour to those who controlled the means of production. It was through this coercive transformation that English capitalism forged the proletariat and compelled them to weave the very rope with which we will hang them.

‘Stop the boats!’ The political football of the ‘immigration debate’ in Britain | The Communists

That neither Keir Starmer nor Kemi Badenoch have any idea what the working class actually is should come as no surprise. There used to be a time when the Tory leaders were acutely aware of the class they truly represented as many of them belonged to it. The labour leaders were also did have an understanding of the composition of the working class because their job is to keep the different layers of this class from unifying. Since the 1960s though the Tories have kept trying to pay the "we're all middle class" now card even in the selection of their own leaders. Even David Cameron, a true member of the British ruling class, attempted to do the "i'm just a regular middle class Dad" routine. Thatcher the grocers daughter of course the template for much of this but they've been unable to find anyone with the right combination of back story and political talents since Thatcher to lead the Tories and the social base they have traditionally relied upon has been getting squeezed relentlessly by monopoly capital. The consequences of this are that the Tory leaders have entered into bizarre territory with most of their old school establishment types being deemed unacceptable by an increasingly embittered Tory membership (they picked Liz Truss if you recall) and the threat from the Farage mob to their right pushing them to select more rabid characters such as Badenoch. The Starmer group on the other hand have as their central "selling point" that they are more in line with the forces that run the state than the Tories are and this is largely true at the moment. Bringing it back to the fact that neither of them understand how class works, this is an undertandable thing when you consider that both of them have made their careers in ruling class institutions when they really haven't had to think about the opposition of the working class as a truly threatening factor. I doubt Keir Starmer even knew what the defition of working class was during his youthful Trotskyite endeavours and Badenoch seems to think class is something you can identify into and out of. The latter position though is by no means restricted to her, it is actually the position taken by many in academia and the bourgeois media. Class becoming merely an identity based on "cultural" signifiers is an agenda that has been pushed since the 1960s by various paid hacks of the ruling class. Anything to actually obscure class as the real and most defining dividing line in Britain.

The election of the US President is an event we are all told (by the BBC no less) is of great importance but the reality is that this is simply untrue. What you have in the USA now are two candidates both of whom have proven themselves over many decades to be bitter enemies of the American worker in the form of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Trump is a well known scam artist who's business ventures always ended up losing money and is most famous for playing a billionaire on TV. He has a history of short changing people who worked on his buildings as well as hiring non union labour whenever he possibly could. As President he presided over a massive tax cut for the wealthy followed by the gigantic bailouts for Wall Street during the covid lockdowns which saw millions of American workers get poorer at the same time due to job losses.

Kamala Harris has a notorious reputation for imprisoning innocent people from when she was Attorney General of California as well as using prison labour to make up for shortfalls in staffing in the fire service when massive forest fires broke out in that state several years ago. Harris has been the vice president for four years when Biden and the other democratic party leaders carried out the largest act of strike breaking in forty years when they forced the railway unions to give up their national strike action they have taken in defence of their pay and conditions. Did Harris object? Of course she didn't. Her career is based serving the business interests that her old boss Biden has.

Both of these represent only choices for the US ruling class as to who they get to act the part of their chief executive for the next four years. Neither of these criminals has anything offer the American worker, they only represent the interests of the working class's enemy - the US capitalist class.

Whoever the President may be they not only are the deadly enemy of the US working class but, as the figurehead of US imperialism, the enemy of the working class of the entire world. They are the head of a system which seeks the unlimited exploitation of every country. It is a system which seeks to keep the world tied into neo-colonialism and enforces that with unlimited violence. The future for American workers lies not in backing an imperialist figurehead but in joining together with their brothers and sisters across the world to bring down the imperialist system along with all of its Presidents and Kings.

The only possible benefit of Trump’s return might be a shift away from U.S. involvement in Ukraine, but make no mistake: he will be no different from anyone else who steps into the White House when it comes to serving the interests of the capitalists.
Like every other president, his loyalty to Israel will be unwavering, and he will ultimately do nothing for the working class. Presidents may change, but their priorities remain the same—and those priorities don’t include us.

The Revolutionary Communist Party, which is not revolutionary, or communist, or even a party, are the rebranded Trotskyite Labour entryist group Socialist Appeal.

Fiona Lali, a speaker at this event later in November, stood against Workers Party candidate Halima Khan, the former Labour whistleblower, in the Stratford and Bow constituency in July. It was only seat anywhere in the country where the RCP stood a candidate, in a move clearly intended to split the leftist vote and deliver a Labour MP to the constituency, a Labour MP who then went on to vote for the removal of the winter fuel allowance for pensioners.

Be in no doubt - Trotskyism is a pernicious, destructive and pro-imperialist ideology, often veiled in the revolutionary garb of the RCP. DO NOT BE FOOLED!

Housing shortage in the midst of plenty!

This article, written in 2018, proves the inability of a May or a Starmer to solve the housing problem within the confines of capitalism.

As the bourgois state's propaganda service, the BBC, asks "Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty?", only communists armed with scientific socialism can see the 'why' and more importantly 'what is to be done'!
