Alex Gordon | Why the West CANNOT COMPUTE China's Socialist Success

In episode 70 of Global Majority for Peace, Ileana Chan is joined by Alex Gordon, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Britain  @CommunistParty  former president of the RMT rail and seafarers’ union, and long‑time anti‑war organizer.

Alex breaks down why U.S. imperialism is in clear decline and what replaces it, whether communism has a viable future inside the imperial core, and how the British ruling class switches between courting and smearing China. He also discusses the real labor gains China has made, including the largest collective bargaining agreement in history, and explains why British trade unionists need direct delegation trips to China, now visa‑free. He also offers practical advice on how to identify the "compatible left" that serves imperialism versus genuine anti‑imperialist forces.

Alex Gordon is the former President of the rail workers and seafarers’ trade union RMT, the Chair of the Marx Memorial Library and Workers’ School and the recently elected General Secretary of the Communist Party of Britain (CPB).
