  1. Perspectives for the Canadian Class Struggle

    Perspectives for the Canadian Class Struggle

    In recent years, Canada has appeared to be an island of stability against the sea of wars, crises and class battles taking place all over the world. Canadian capitalism, however, is quickly approaching a reckoning. Debt is reaching astronomical heights, productivity is declining, and the Canadian ruling class is looking for ways to unload the burden of the crisis onto the shoulders of working people. We can say without question that great class battles lie ahead. As revolutionary communists we must ground ourselves in a correct appraisal of the period that we are living through, to understand the general course of the Canadian class struggle and predict the impacts that events will have on mass consciousness. The most pressing task in front of us today is that of building the forces of communism here in Canada, of building a revolutionary party capable of leading the working class to the transformation of society.

  2. Imperialist Crisis in the Middle East

    Imperialist Crisis in the Middle East

    Netanyahu's latest escalation of violence in Lebanon risks dragging the Middle East into an all-out war. In Palestine the number of dead and displaced continues to rise with no end in sight. This is the nature of capitalist imperialism in the 21st century: horror without end. That’s why we say – down with the warmongers! If we are to achieve peace, we must overthrow the rotten system at the root of imperialism and war. 🍉The Fight to Free Palestine: store.marxist.ca/products/fight-to-free-palestine ✊Student Strike Campaign: linktr.ee/studentstrike4palestine 🛠️Join the RCP: marxist.ca/join

    Gathering Steam: Student Strike for Palestine

    As the Israeli war machine launches its ground invasion of Lebanon, the struggle against imperialism intensifies. The Student Strike for Palestine Campaign has reached its first month of activity, and with it hundreds of students have been drawn into active resistance to the brutality unfolding in the Middle East and the complicity of our imperialists here at home. But activity alone isn't enough - we need to be able to learn the lessons of these first few weeks and continue to build the movement to shut down Canadian imperialism's ties to Netanyahu and the Israeli regime. For that reason we have collected submissions from students across the country to share those lessons which can help us build our movement and cut imperialism at its root. We are not out-numbered, we are out organized. Only the students and the working class have the power to end the genocide.

    Student Strike for Palestine

    As Israel's assault on Gaza drags towards a year, the disgust and anger felt by millions of Canadians has only grown. Already the movement to end the genocide has seen protests of tens of thousands and encampments on every major campus in the country. But still the genocide continues, as does the unwavering support of the Canadian ruling class for the atrocities inflicted on the Palestinian people.What we need is a militant mass movement, what we need is an escalation. That is why this fall the RCP is mobilizing for a student strike on every Canadian campus to stop the genocide. If every organization, every student and worker who stands with the Palestinians rallies behind a student strike for Palestine, we could build a movement that could not be suppressed or ignored. We could paralyze our imperialists at home and take matters into our own hands.  Help build the student strike for Palestine! ⁠ marxist.ca/article/open-letter-to-all-pro-palestine-groups-unite-for-a-student-strike marxist.ca/article/towards-a-student-strike-for-palestine

  5. Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism

    Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism

    We live in an epoch of wars, crises, revolutions, and counter-revolutions. The capitalist system has reached its limits and is spending humanity spiralling towards an uncertain, barbarous future. But in order to fight against this dying system and for the transformation of society we first need to understand it. This is why the question of imperialism is essential for every communist and revolutionary to study intently. This week we're sharing an interview with Benoit Tanguay on Lenin's "Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism", a thoroughoing analysis of the capitalist system, the reasons for it's penetration into all corners of the globe, and the conflicts it creates between competing imperialist powers. 🛠️Join Us: ⁠marxist.ca/join⁠ 📰Subscribe: ⁠marxist.ca/subscribe⁠ 👑Imperialism: ⁠store.marxist.ca/products/imperialism-the-highest-stage-of-capitalism 🪖Lenin on Imperialist War: store.marxist.ca/products/lenin-selected-writings-vol-1-on-imperialist-war

  6. Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder

    Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder

    In one country after another, millions of working people are coming into direct conflict with the capitalist system. In revolutionary epochs the question of "how communists can win over the masses" acquires a life-or-death importance for the revolutionary workers' movement in general. It is for this reason that we're sharing an interview with Julien Arseneau on Lenin's "Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder", which is filled with lessons on how revolutionaries can connect Marxist theory with the revolutionary struggle - and most importantly, how revolutionaries can win over the rest of the working class. The book is an essential resource for communists everywhere. 🛠️Join Us: ⁠marxist.ca/join⁠ 📰Subscribe: ⁠marxist.ca/subscribe⁠ 🪖Left-Wing Communism: store.marxist.ca/products/left-wing-communism-an-infantile-disorder 👑The Transitional Program: ⁠store.marxist.ca/products/the-transitional-program-for-socialist-revolution

  7. The State and Revolution - Fundamental Ideas of Lenin

    22 JUN

    The State and Revolution - Fundamental Ideas of Lenin

    All over the globe, movements of the oppressed are regularly running into the obstacles of the police, the courts, and even the armed forces. The state stands as the armed last line of defence for the status quo, and therefore the question of the state and our approach to it as revolutionaries and as marxists is a question that all communists must closely study. It is for this reason that we're starting off our series on the Fundamental Ideas of Lenin with an interview with Marco La Grotta, a leading comrade in the Revolutionary Communist Party here in Canada, on Lenin's State and Revolution, his classic and perhaps most famous contribution to marxist theory, applying Lenin's insights to the world and to the struggles surrounding us today. 🛠️Join Us: marxist.ca/join 📰Subscribe: marxist.ca/subscribe 🪖State and Revolution: store.marxist.ca/products/state-and-revolution 👑Origins of the Family, Private Property, and the State: store.marxist.ca/products/the-origin-of-the-family-private-property-and-the-state

  8. Towards a Revolutionary Communist International!

    29 MAY

    Towards a Revolutionary Communist International!

    The Revolutionary Communist Party has landed! Onwards to the Revolutionary Communist International! Capitalism has spread to every corner of the planet, it has become a deeply interconnected global system, and therefore can only be overthrown on an international scale. This requires a revolutionary leadership that is not confined to this or that nation, but that is equally international in scope. Join us in building the forces of communism all over the globe, and building it into a mass force. This week we're joined by Fred Weston, from the International Secretariat of the IMT, to discuss the founding of the RCI in June. 📝Register: schoolofcommunism.com/#sign-up 🖥️Public Report: marxist.ca/article/rcp-founding-congress-the-communists-have-arrived 🛠️Join Us: marxist.ca/join 📰Subscribe: marxist.ca/subscribe
