The world appears to be spiralling out of control and the warning signs that a more generalised conflict is on the horizon are now difficult to deny."

A government willing to starve a people for historically refusing to align with its demands can never be an ally of the exploited. It is a farce to claim that Castroism represents any sort of progress for the proletariat. Its economic model was viable only as long as it had the support of the Soviet Union. Since the Soviet collapse, Cu…

State-of-the-art digital systems, driven by the development of artific…

These movements brought together various sectors of the workforce – including health and education worker…

They lost 1,498 councillors, 38 councils (many of which Labour has run for decades), and 21/30 of their seats in the Welsh Senedd, which they had controlled since its creation in 1999. This has (again) brought calls out into the open for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to quit. The figure seen as most likely …

Those of us who recognise the need for an independent movement for the working class must take steps to organise ourselves politically to lay the foundations for this here and now."

If we act independently as a class, and not as a nation, we can not only defend our living conditions, prevent or stop wars, but change the whole world. Independent workers’ struggle and internationalism – this is what 2026 must be about. Here in Sweden, as well as internationally."

Since the post-war boom ended in the 1970s every state in the world is faced with the consequences of ‘declining growth’ (aka profit rates). Workers’ share of the national income in all the rich countries has been declining for over four decades. Services such as the NHS, school budgets, social benefits, pensions — all funded by deductions from workers’ pay — have all been cut. Fina…

What is (relatively) new is that 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."

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @cwouk. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
