Ella Rule gives a short, amusing and informative talk, about the recent history of the 'Women's movement' in Britain.
Addressing a meeting to Mark international Women's day, held by the CPGB-ML and Red Youth in Birmingham, on 8 March 2014, she outlines why working class women have not been involved in the women's movement - because it has not addressed their needs.
Speaking from her experience, and with reference in particular to the 1972 women's conference held in Skegness, which she and her comrades attended, she illustrates how a potentially progressive and liberating movement was effectively hijacked and side-tracked by a number of petty-bourgeois groups who pushed their false, anti-men, anti-worker, anti-social(ist) and anti-marxist views on the movement that developed in the 1960s and 1970s, effectively destroying it.
She prefaces her remarks by noting that Women have everything to gain by pursuing the path of socialism, and the overthrow of the capitalist system, that exploits the majority, divides them and gives them a life of servitude, in the interests of fabulous super-profits of an insignificant handful (of men predominantly, but a few of the few are, in fact, women) - the finance capitalists.
How can real equality and liberation be won by working women? By liberating humanity from the system of wage slavery.

Jeremy Corbyn and Sadiq Khan refuse to comment on their approval of a plan announced by Lord Kerslake, and put together by Savills Estate agents and a variety of private business interests (with ‘input’ from housing charities, mind you), to “Solve London’s housing problem” by building 350,000 new homes in the capital.
Sound good? Well, the devil is in the detail! You see all of the homes will be built by private developers. Most of the land will be ‘released’ by councils, who plan to demolish libraries, community facilities – and notably inner city council estates currently housing 400,000 working-class families, which they describe as “past their use-by date.”
So this eminently capitalist ‘housing solution’ will in fact bring an overall decrease in the absolute number of homes, with a massive transfer of wealth from our councils to developers, while maintaining inflated property prices, and socially cleansing our capital city to boot. A royal flush for the developers and financiers!
Land thus “liberated” from the community will be supplied to commercial developers who will ‘in return’ pledge to provide some 'affordable' houses. Morover it is LABOUR COUNCILS THAT ARE ALREADY DEMOLISHING COUNCIL ESTATES AROUND THE CAPITAL TO HAND OVER LAND TO THE DEVELOPERS.
Sadiq Khan has made a great show of saying half of these houses, built commercially, will be ‘affordable’. Savills say this is untenable, and they and the Tories (Zac Goldsmith, and his friends) are much more frank, saying that 15-30 percent of new properties will be ‘affordable’ – by which they mean costing £450,000!
While jockeying for the political office of mayor, and prime minister respectively, it is as clear as ever that the Labour Party has nothing to offer working people, other than handing down the will of the capitalist magnates to maximise their profits at our expense.
“Either eek out a miserable existence and sink lower and lower, or adopt a new weapon. Capitalism brings the working class to revolution!”

The Chinese revolution and the Communist intentional (comintern)
Trotskyites habitually decry the achievements of soviet communism as "Stalinist betrayals of the revolution..." Imperialism has learned to echo these phrases and 'arguments' in order to decrease the confidence of the working people in their ability to overthrow capitalist exploitation and build a new socialist society.
Modern-day Trotskyites support social democracy (the Labour party and its 'left wing' pretenders, in Britain) and thereby imperialism to the hilt, yet have the audacity to criticize anti-imperialist and communist forces as 'impure'. They have several hobbyhorses which are hollow, but are often repeated, so worth refuting.
This presentation revisits the history of the Chinese revolution with particular reference to the line of the communist international on the one hand, and Trotsky's analysis, criticisms and myths on the other.

This is a documentary series released in 1978 which focuses entirely upon the events of WW2 from the perspective of the Soviet Union. It is sympathetic to the immense struggle of all the soviet peoples in their fight against fascism. We reproduce it here, on our own YouTube channel to counter the historical revisionism that has arisen across the western world which portrays the United States along with Britain and France as the victors over fascism.
Harpal Brar's presentation on the 70th anniversary of the victory over fascism can be seen here: https://studio.youtube.com/video/6s-jy4kgyPA/edit

"What a glorious day. Remember this moment. This is history."
These were the obscene words with which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu greeted the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem, on Monday 14 May 2018. Ivanka Trump attended the ceremony, unveiling a plaque dedicated to Donald Trump, the US president who made the decision to move the embassy.
The significance was not lost on the Palestinian people, who with this move have all (feeble remaining) hopes of a two state solution and peaceful settlement finally crushed, with the US effectively giving away their capital city to the racist apartheid settler colonial state that is Israel.
To underline the point, and in cold-blooded, deliberate and pre-meditated murderous synchrony, over 100 IDF snipers opened fire on the Palestinians in Gaza, who are in the midst of a 6 week demonstration to mark the 70th anniversary of the original robbery of their Land at Gunpoint by the Israeli army and paramilitary gangs in 1948. It was this original crime of ethnic clensing, mass murder and robbery upon which Israel was founded and from which they have never looked back. Palestinians refer to this crime as Al Nakba - the catastrophe! The Shoah!
An incredible orgy of murder and massacre followed with the IDF snipers shooting 2,700 unarmed civilians - men women and children. 400 Children were shot. At least 58 have been executed in this manner by the Israeli Fascist Forces (IDF) who even as the massacre is unfolding, send 'sweet girls' in uniform to spin the media; and deflect 'balme' for this mass execution on the unarmed and defenceless Palestinian refugees themselves.
We will not forget this black day. The Palestinians have no recourse, now, but to struggle. They will not be defeated and they will not submit meekly. THey recognise that in its deperation, Israel is engaging an increasingly united resistance - Syria, Hez Bollah, Iran, and others across the middle East, with backers of Russia and the active sympathy of millions of workers around the world will see Israel Fall.
Footage of the speech is of CPGB-ML comrades attending a march on the 12th of May protesting the oppression of Palestine by Israeli Zionism. Although the march was small we ended up taking the streets and blocking off traffic on Oxford Street as we marched from the BBC offices at Portland Place to the Saudi Arabian embassy. Speaking on the open mic here, Arthur gives a speech denouncing Zionism as an anti-Semitic and fascistic ideology.
Demonstrate your anger; expose the imperialist lies; and organise!
