On Tuesday night, Belfast was gripped by what has been described as the worst night of violence the city has seen in over a decade, as loyalist paramilitaries and far-right agitators exploited a horrific knife attack to whip up a pogrom against immigrants. By morning, entire streets resembled a war zone.
Keir Starmer’s premiership hangs in the balance. A leadership contest is almost certainly on the cards, with Labour Party members set to decide who will be Britain’s next prime minister.
The cities of La Paz and El Alto have for weeks been inundated with marches, pitched battles with police, strikes, and blockades, sparked by the fight against counterreforms and inflation. Now, the struggle has gone beyond these demands, and is calling for the right-wing government to fall.
After three torturous months in captivity, Ehsan Ali—Chairman of the Awami Action Committee Gilgit-Baltistan (AAC-GB), and a leading comrade of the Inqalabi Communist Party (RCP)—is a free man!

May 15 marked 78 years since the Nakba, the brutal terror campaign waged by Zionist forces against Palestinians to found the state of Israel. British imperialism—having subjected the region to decades of domination, plunder, and division—was central to this catastrophe.
If anyone thought that US imperialism’s embarrassment in Iran would deter it from its escalating campaign of aggression against the Cuban Revolution, they were very mistaken.
Concretely speaking, little or nothing was achieved at the “G2” summit between China and America last week. No shift from China on Iran, no shift on tariffs, no shift on rare earths, nor on Taiwan.

This is a very dangerous escalation of the Trump-Rubio campaign to smash the Cuban Revolution and must be strongly repudiated by the working class movement internationally.

The Communist is the official newspaper of the party of the Revolutionary Communists of America. It is different from any other publication you’ll find in the US today. Behind this newspaper, there’s a vast network of communist activity from coast to coast.

The RCA is on a mission to carry Bolshevism into the political arena of a country that’s ripe for it. Yes, we’re Bolsheviks living in the digital age, and we also use social media and our podcast to spread the communist program. But we’re not the kind of internet leftists who stay inside and “do politics” online. That’s why we need something we can carry with us into the streets and put into people’s hands. The physical paper is an instrument for building a real-life organization—a genuine Communist Party of fighters.
