Mark Ashton died on this day in 1987 at the age of 26. 📣 . Mark is famous for founding the group Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners - popularised in the film Pride. 🎬 . Many do not know that Mark was General Secretary of the Young Communist League from 1985 to 1986. . His work as a Gay Activist was hugely important for the wider labour movement and helped to change many worker’s perceptions of the LGBT+ community. This was especially crucial given the AIDS crisis at the time and the devastating effects of Thatcher’s government on working class communities. . Ashton’s ability to use and develop class analysis in the fight for gay rights was key to his work as a Communist. He believed and fought to convince people that the fight for LGBT+ rights cannot exist in abstract from the wider labour movement and fought to develop class consciousness among the LGBT+ Community. . If he were alive today he would have stood shoulder to shoulder with his comrades in the Communist movement rejecting the corporatisation of Pride and the demand for the “pink pound”. . We must continue to push for a class analysis of LGBT+ Issues in his memory. . Interested in getting involved in the Communist Party and YCL’s LGBT+ work? - drop us a message here! 🏳️‍🌈 ✊

Today, Holocaust Memorial Day, marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp by the Soviet Red Army in 1945. We remember the countless ordinary people, victims of the Nazi death machine. We remember the brave ordinary people who were the freedom fighters and the partisans. It was a capitalist crisis, and banks and corporations, even British ones, that fed and led the Nazi Party to power in Germany in spite of the horrific consequences. It is capitalism today that feeds the rise of far-right forces in austerity and economic crisis, with EU, US and British imperialism using them as puppets. It is the people who will suffer the consequences of this evil if it is allowed to pass once again. But it is the people who united can stand against racism and fascism in all their forms, and build a better world, one that honours the memory of those killed in war, by Nazi-fascism and the Holocaust. In their memory, we say No Pasaran! Fascism will not pass again!
The YCL was pleased to be present at the conference against imperialism that took place this week in Venezuela. 🇻🇪 . No to the imperialist British, EU and USA foreign policy! No to intervention and the brutal economic sanctions! 🚫 . Yes to social and economic progress and peace, and the right of people to choose their own path, free from outside interference! 🕊 . Solidarity with the people and youth of Venezuela in their struggles for a better life! ✊ . #PeaceJobsSocialism #WFDY #Venezuela
