Inflation highlights

  • Trade unions / TUC directs its members’ anger into more meaningles busywork

    An email campaign to reverse anti-union laws? Really?

    30 Jan 2023 ,
  • Capitalist crisis / Capitalists are causing inflation, not workers!

    It’s time for the hoary old myth about wages causing inflation to be put to bed. Higher wages lead to lower profits, hence the bosses’ opposition.

    29 Jan 2023 ,
  • Civil liberties / Minimum Service Bill is the latest salvo in the class war against workers

    No cooperation with union-busting anti-strike laws! 

    27 Jan 2023 ,
  • USA / The US ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ – blatant protectionism

    US monopolies are hoping to survive the present crisis at the expense of their rivals, but alienating all their allies will ultimately only hasten their demise.

    24 Jan 2023 , Lalkar
  • Europe / Food bank crisis in Europe

  • Capitalist crisis / Communist replies to BBC budget tips: ‘Get out and see the real world.’

    What kind of ‘journalist’ could seriously investigate whether ‘showering at the gym’ could be a money-saving tip for impoverished workers?

    5 Jan 2023 ,
  • Capitalist crisis / Happy new year?

    There is no reform that could enable this profit-hungry system to serve the needs of the working people.

    3 Jan 2023 ,
  • Capitalist crisis / Communist responds to patronising BBC advice for a ‘budget’ Christmas

    Naughty? Nice? It’s time workers stopped believing the fairy tale that we get what we ‘deserve’ and organised to fight for what we need!

    24 Dec 2022 ,
  • Brazil / Can Lula get Brazil back on track?

    Much has changed since Lula’s first presidency. While the economic situation is far more difficult, international shifts could work in the country’s favour.

    10 Dec 2022 ,
  • Capitalist crisis / Polycrisis? Time to put an end to this capitalist madness

    This system is unable to escape from its own absurd contradictions: in particular the insanity of deepening poverty in the midst of ever-accumulating wealth.

    7 Dec 2022 , Lalkar
  • Disputes / Support our nurses’ struggle for decent pay!

    It is not our hard-pressed medical staff who are greedy, but the privateers who are pushing down their wages in the interests of profit.

    18 Nov 2022 , Proletarian
  • Trade unions / Are Britain’s union bosses interested in helping their members fight back?

    As the crisis deepens, the ruling class is looking far more determined than the unions, where lions continue to be led by loyal Labour donkeys.

    16 Nov 2022 , Proletarian
  • Brazil / Lula is back!

    With so much hope pinned on his new government, will his ministers be able to resist the push from global financiers insisting on ‘fiscal prudence’ (ie, on austerity)?

    15 Nov 2022 , Lalkar
  • Czech Republic / Czech communist leader on the mass movement against Nato’s war

    Josef Skála explains what is driving the huge protest movement that has rocked his country to its foundations.

    13 Nov 2022 , Proletarian
  • British politics / Rishi Sunak becomes Britain’s third prime minister in seven weeks

    No changing of the guard can address the fundamental problem the British ruling class faces – a deepening crisis of overproduction that it is powerless to overcome.

    9 Nov 2022 , Lalkar
  • Capitalist crisis / The cost of living crisis is a capitalist crisis!

    The capitalists have shown themselves to be entirely unable to run their own system for the benefit of society.

    4 Nov 2022 ,
  • Germany / Germany is under pressure. Something’s got to give

    As the economic crisis deepens and political panic spreads, the future of a unified European imperialist block is looking ever more shaky.

    19 Oct 2022 , Proletarian
  • Health / Coffey’s ‘plan for patients’ boils down to more targets and some magical thinking

    Reams of empty phrasemongering are aimed at hiding the fact that Truss and co have no plan to do anything to fix the crisis in our health service.

    1 Oct 2022 , Proletarian
  • Haiti / Protests erupt in Haiti against corrupt comprador government

    29 Sep 2022 , Proletarian
  • Czech Republic / Czech people take to the streets in record numbers against Nato’s war in Ukraine

    Is this huge demonstration in Prague a sign of things to come across the European Union?

    22 Sep 2022 , Proletarian
  • Trade unions / Shameful capitulation of workers’ leadership in face of ‘mourning’ demands

    With hunger, blackouts and war knocking urgently at workers’ doors, our demand should be: ‘Don’t mourn, organise.’

    12 Sep 2022 , Proletarian

    11 Sep 2022 , Lalkar
  • Germany / Closure of Nord Stream 1: another own goal for Europe

    It is not Russians but European who are facing hunger and blackouts as a result of the EU’s failed sanctions war.

    9 Sep 2022 , Proletarian
  • Capitalist crisis / EU quietly rowing back on self-defeating sanctions against Russia

    In the face of the abject failure of their economic war, EU leaders are trying to salvage what they can without admitting to a U-turn.

    7 Sep 2022 , Proletarian
  • Capitalist crisis / Cost of living crisis: the fightback is under way

    Growing militance among unionised workers and vigorous new campaigns to combat the effects of poverty and inflation signify a change in the workers’ mood.

    6 Sep 2022 , Lalkar
  • Capitalist crisis / Families face energy bills topping £5,000 this autumn

    Privatisation of the energy industry has put Britons at the mercy of world market prices – and no bourgeois party has a clue what to do about it.

    30 Aug 2022 , Proletarian
  • Disputes / Support the postal workers!

    Workers at Royal Mail are joining those on the railways and the docks in standing up for pay and conditions.

    The reality of Europe’s much-vaunted ‘unity’ in support of Ukraine is that the EU is in the process of tearing itself apart.

    6 Jul 2022 , Lalkar
  • Disputes / Victory to the striking railworkers; defend the right to strike!

    In fighting to save jobs and defend pay, railworkers are in the front line of a desperately-needed push-back against the onslaught of capital.

    22 Jun 2022 ,
  • Social wage / Food bank Britain

    British families are relying on charity to eat as the market and the government both fail to provide even such a basic necessity as food.

    20 Jun 2022 , Proletarian
  • Pay and conditions / Sainsbury’s CEO in the money as workers feel the pinch
