Revolutionary Communist International

The Revolutionary Communist International (RCI) is active in over 70 countries around the world. We are striving to raise the banner under which the awakening generation of revolutionary workers and youth can assemble to overthrow capitalism. We urge all new visitors to marxist.com to read our Manifesto, unanimously passed at the 2024 founding conference of the RCI, which you can read here.

In short, we are fighting to build a single, global party of world socialist revolution, based on the scientific, revolutionary communist ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky, which we defend. This section of marxist.com includes articles and reports on the activity of the RCI internationally. If you are a communist and want to join us in the struggle, then join the RCI here.

It has been almost two months since we debuted our new, feature-length documentary, The Communists Are Coming – A Visual Manifesto. The film has been a huge success, with over 40,000 views on YouTube already, and a flood of write-ins from young revolutionaries inspired to join our ranks! A worldwide theatrical tour concluded this weekend in London and Zurich, following packed screenings across four continents.

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.

Over the last two weeks, over 350 communists gathered in Switzerland for two ‘schools of communism’, organised by the Revolutionary Communist Party (German: RKP. French: PCR), Swiss section of the RCI. 

On the weekend of 8-9 November, the Organización Comunista Revolucionaria (OCR), the Spanish section of the RCI, held its first national Marxist School in Madrid. It was a great success. This marks an important step in the development of our section as it was the first time that we have held two major national events in the same year.

Days after a self-described democratic socialist won the New York mayoral election, over 300 communists sang a rousing rendition of “The Internationale” to conclude the third and final installment of the RCA’s 2025 Marxist School series.

Communism has returned to Chicago! In a city with a rich history of labor struggles—including the world-famous Haymarket martyrs and the fight for a forty hour work week—about 200 revolutionary communists met on October 25–26 for the first-ever RCA Chicago Marxist School.

We are very proud to announce that The Communists Are Coming: a Visual Manifesto – a new, feature-length documentary produced by the Revolutionary Communist International – premieres today at 18:00 British time. The whole documentary will be available to watch on Youtube, chronicling the first year of the RCI and explaining the importance of building an international revolutionary organisation today.

On 10, 11, and 12 October, more than 200 communists gathered at the Telephone Workers' Union in Mexico City for the founding congress of the Revolutionary Communist Party (PCR). In an atmosphere of great enthusiasm, we discussed international and national perspectives, a balance sheet of our work, and the political and organisational principles of our party.

Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla has sparked an eruption of mass anger across the world and particularly in Europe. In Italy, this has led to not one but two political general strikes for Palestine. This represents the decisive entry onto the scene of the powerful Italian working class. In Spain too, millions were on the streets. Many hundreds of thousands took to the streets of hundreds of cities all over Europe.

We are excited to announce that The Communists are Coming: A Visual Manifesto– an original, feature-length documentary produced by the Revolutionary Communist International – is coming to YouTube on 24 October! With revolution raging across the world, this film feels more relevant, and our tasks more pressing, than ever! Watch the trailer below…

We are living through an unprecedented crisis of capitalism. Inequality is at record levels. There are currently more wars than at any point since WW2. And the world economy is mired in stagnation, inflation, and crushing debt. Now, with the re-election of Trump, the entire edifice of the post-war order – of unchallenged American dominance – is beginning to crumble. 

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. This was a tremendous school and was a fantastic sign for the development of the revolutionary communist forces in the Canadian Prairies!

This August, between the second and the seventh, the First Congress of the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI) will be held in Italy. It will bring together hundreds of delegates, representing thousands of communists who will be watching along online on every continent. In times of unprecedented worldwide turbulence, it will be a congress like no other.
