Are you a communist?

Are you a communist? Do you look around at the state of the world and think, “we need a revolution”? If so, you need to get organised today. The Revolutionary Communist International (RCI) has official groups and sections in around 40 countries, and members and sympathisers in many, many more. If you get in touch with us today, the chances are that we can put you in touch with other communists in your area. So click here and join us.

A recent poll conducted by the Fraser Institute in the UK, US, Australia and Canada, found that 29 percent, 20 percent, 20 percent and 13 percent of 18-34 year olds in those countries respectively regard communism as the “ideal economic system”. Had these polls been conducted elsewhere, no doubt they would have revealed similar figures all over the globe.

This means that there are literally millions of potential communists on every continent. But being a communist isn’t just about agreeing with communist ideas. As Marx explained, “the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.” The capitalist class will not give up their power voluntarily. And as capitalism drags the world towards an abyss of war, impoverishment, hunger, and above all climate catastrophe, we know that we are in a race against time – a race to organise these millions of others into a fighting organisation that can overthrow the capitalist system and finally build a communist future for humanity: a future worthy of human beings.

We have made exceptional progress in recent years. But now we need your help to achieve this task. Get in touch and we will put you in contact with a branch of the RCI near you. The revolution needs you – join us!

Our editorial team are regularly updating the following feed, consisting of reports of the work of our comrades on every continent, to give you a flavour of the kind of activity RCI comrades are engaged in around the globe.

 

It is 28 November, a Friday afternoon. The Revolutionary Communist Party’s (RKP) centre in Stockholm is awash with feverish activity. Stacks of boxes of books have been lined up in rows and are being systematically collected by members of the RKP’s Stockholm university branch using two trolleys. In other rooms, people are rehearsing their contributions to the weekend's discussions, someone is preparing an article – visitors from other cities in the country are looking around.

The forces of Western Canadian communism are on the rise! Over the weekend of June 28 and 29, the Revolutionary Communist Party held the sixth annual Communist Summer School in Edmonton, Alberta.
