The people having a meltdown over this is incredible 😂
It's a good film. Enjoying it isn't praising fascism, in fact it's understanding how and why it has taken root into English communities in the past. This is the point of it.
Join us Sunday on St George's Day for a film screening of "This Is England" and a discussion around Socialist Patriotism! 🏴⛳

No you're not a Hoxhaist, Titoist or Dengist. It's 2021, you're either a Marxist-Leninist or you're not.
Picking sides in past battles based on the little you've read isn't an efficient way to be political. Learn from the past, but it is down to you to conquer your future.

5 minutes of us being at the RAF Lakenheath protest with our banner, an elderly lady came over speaking to us & began to cry. Her family were from Yugoslavia, and seeing Young Communists made her cry for what she'd lost when NATO bombarded it in 1999, killing 3000 people 😢 (1/2)

I'm gay and this is a shit take. Do some working class people who dress like this make homophobic and predatory comments? Yes.
Is it helpful to paint people by how they dress (tracksuit & beer) as being homophobic? Not at all. You're making shit worse.

There's no such thing as "queer liberation". It's an abstract. The only liberation that can happen through socialism is the liberation of the working class.
LGBT+ who, although discriminated against, are not oppressed under capitalism, will not be liberated under socialism.

I joined the Communist Party in 2020 just after Starmer took over Labour, but after I'd been reading Marx, Lenin, etc for about 3-4 years & doing sporadic activity with mates.
To finally get to work & to learn with lots of other comrades across Britain has been brilliant 🤝🚩
Capitalism in Britain is a bankrupt system - economically, politically and ideologically.
It has nothing to offer working people; except more poverty, more oppression, more war and the destruction of our planet.
But our lives don’t have to be this way. Working people produce

Demands for a "GENERAL ELECTION NOW" are weird. Sure, the Tories clinging on to power is ridiculous. But do we really believe that Labour will do a better job right now? A Party which has spent the past few years purging the left-wing.

120 votes for Darren Turner (Communist Party of Britain) in Bury St Edmunds, making up 1.07% of the vote share.
Not bad for a first punt at it, against all the smears of being "Communist".
120 is certainly a lot bigger than our local Communist Party membership as well 👍

Decent article. It definitely applied to me a few years back when I first got into anti-fascism and thought I needed to dress as a certain subculture to do it.
It wasn't until meeting some relatively normal Northerners involved that I realised the act wasn't needed.
