The hard truth is that both the leaders of the overtly racist right-wing organisations in Britain and the leaders of the supposedly ‘antiracist’ and ‘revolutionary’ Trotskyite left are state provocateurs, working in tandem to keep workers’ energies misdirected, their ranks divided and their struggles impotent.

Glasgow protests demonstrate farce of ‘fascists’ v ‘antifascists’
Workers are being forced into culture wars paradigms to keep them busy fighting amongst themselves.

This supposed “banning” of England flags is nonsense. Nobody was stopping people flying the St George’s Cross before. What has changed is the sudden upsurge in people draping it everywhere, not as a simple show of pride, but as a signal of reactionary and racist politics.
This narrative is being pushed hard to distract from the real scandal: the flag that has been banned is the one of an actually oppressed people—the Palestinian flag.

Leaflet in support of Liam Óg, aka Mo Chara, who is currently being prosecuted under the Terrorism Act for waving a Hezbollah flag at one of his band Kneecap’s live shows.
When the mural in support of Liam Óg/Mo Chara was unveiled in Belfast, Kneecap wrote on Twitter: ‘West Belfast knows political policing. West Belfasts knows colonialism. West Belfast knows solidarity.’

Resistance is not a crime. Support Mo Chara! Support Palestine!
Workers, artists and political groups must demand our right to a voice, and to independent political action.

It’s always amusing how those willing to sell out the workers for a seat at the establishment’s table try to justify their betrayal by condemning those who refuse to be complicit.
Recently, we’ve been branded “purists” or “impossiblists” for doing exactly what we set out to do: offering workers a class analysis. Something sorely absent in the mainstream media, and something that is especially needed by the very people who hurl these labels at us.
The Project is not an activist organisation, nor does it need to be. Every member here is already active in their own political groups, carrying out agitation and organising amongst our class. The role of the Project is different: to provide a class analysis that complements that activism, not to duplicate it.
As our reach grows, so too do the detractors, especially those stung by our critique. But our resolve will not falter. We don’t seek applause or funding. We seek only to serve our class, in the best way we can, with the truth and understanding.

Football Focus Episode 1
A new football season is upon us! And with that new season comes the launch of a new programme from the Class Consciousness Project! In 'Football Focus' we will be talking about football related issues but not always those that are hitting the headlines.…
The Tories exist as the British ruling party. The Labour Party are there to step in when the Tories fall out of favour. They live off the manufactured myth of being a party of the working class, but the truth is they create policies that tie the people tighter to capital.
Consider the Labour government of 1945–51. It is held up as Labour’s “golden age”. The NHS, the welfare state, nationalisation. Workers need to understand that these were not gifts, but concessions wrung from the ruling class at a moment of crisis. Britain was bankrupt after the war, workers were militant, soldiers were radicalised by the spectre of communism across Europe, and the ruling class feared revolution. Labour’s reforms were a way of stabilising capitalism, not abolishing it. Even Attlee himself admitted nationalisation was carried out on terms favourable to the old owners.
So when those concessions are clawed back, no one should be surprised. That has always been the function of Labour. Starmer is not an aberration but the continuation of a party whose raison d’être is to act as a buffer for capital, to grant crumbs in times of unrest and to dismantle those same crumbs once the system feels secure again. Labour are not there to serve workers. They are there to manage us, discipline us, and keep us in line for the ruling class.
