Change Britain – Embrace Your Party
Political statement from the Communist Party of Britain Marxist-Leninist, 15th Congress, London, November 2009. The British government and the capitalist class internationally want us to believe that the working class cannot change anything, everything is beyond our control. We think differently.
Absolute decline
Marx analysed 19th-century capitalism as being in decline, never to recover. Many claim this shows Marx was wrong, because capitalism always manages to recover from its frequent crises. Yet Marx was right.
Stalingrad: the battle that saved the world
In late 1942 and the beginning of 1943, the most momentous battle in modern history was fought out in a city on the Volga River – Stalingrad. On its outcome rested the fate of the world.

Fighting fascism
It is a fact that the only force to defeat fascism is the organised working class.

Unity not devolution
The Communist Party of Britain is for the unity of Britain and against devolution and the fragmentation of a working class. That unity has been the basis for progress. Now we are under sustained attack from the European Union.
Stand and fight
In the 1980s capitalist crisis our party published a series of pamphlets about the destruction of the means of livelihood for our class. The third of these sold out almost immediately, and we reprint extracts from the beginning and end of it, highly relevant in the present crisis.
Rebuild Britain
For decades, our Party has been saying, ‘Rebuild Britain’. Under a capitalism in absolute decline, the capitalist class has been set on destroying industry as a way to destroy the British working class.
