The YCL condemns in the strongest possible terms the US backed coup taking place in Bolivia ✊🇧🇴 This coup, planned and funded by Washington, is the latest in the long series of attacks on sovereign nations in Latin America. They have applied the same tactics they used in Venezuela. This attack on Evo Morales, the elected president, and his government is an assault on Bolivian democracy and national sovereignty motivated by US imperialism. The coup plotters have already exposed their anti-indigenous and far right agenda, attacking government supporters and indigenous Bolivians. We stand with Evo Morales and the Bolivian People against US imperialism! #Bolivia #NoCoupInBolivia #HandsOffBolivia #NoAlGolpeEnBolivia

We will never, never forget, nor will we allow to be forgotten or erased from our history, the titanic sacrifice that the Soviet people made to free Europe from the stranglehold of the brutal Nazi Fascist beast. Your memory will live forever. 🕊 . Robin Talbot, chair of the Young Communist League, laid a wreath on behalf of the YCL at the Soviet war memorial today in South London. . We remember the 27 million Soviet people and all other peace-loving and democratic people throughout Europe who died during the struggle against Nazi Fascism. . On the 74th anniversary of the World Federation of Democratic Youth, which arose from the ashes of WWII to bring together young people from all lands to fight for a future of lasting peace and social progress, we also remember the horror of wars in which millions of working people were betrayed into slaughtering each other. . We remember that it was Britain's ruling class who with appeasement and sympathy treated the Nazis, whereas it was the Communist Party that called for a halt to Hitler's advance across Europe, and put its back into the war effort and waged guerrilla warfare on the occupied Channel Islands. . Furthermore, we condemn the recent European Union resolution, voted for by many British MEPs, that calls the Soviet Union an ally of Nazi Germany. It was the Soviet people who bore the brunt of 4/5 of this horrific war. . For a future of peace, let us remember our history and remain vigilant against the resurgence of militarism, anti-Communism and Fascism in Europe, falsifiers of our history, and enemies of our class. . #PeaceJobsSocialism #WFDY #Remembrance

The Young Communist League fully supports yesterday’s announcement by the University and College Union (UCU) regarding upcoming strike action, beginning on 25 November. We not only recognise that this action has become necessary, we commend the UCU for taking the decision to strike in both of their disputes over changes to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), as well as their struggle over pay, casualisation, equality and workloads. The UCU are also to be commended for their success in garnering support for strike action in the face of the draconian restrictions contained in the government’s anti-trade union laws. In the ballot on USS, 79% of voting members supported strike action, whilst the strike ballot over pay, casualisation, equality and workloads, had 74% of the voters support. The strong supports in both ballots is indicative of the dire straits that university lecturers and teaching staff find themselves in. Many lecturers and other university employees are themselves younger people or postgraduate students. Some will be your teachers who not only demand a fairer education system for you, your classmates and the rest of the youth of Britain, but are willing to fight for it and deserve your active support. As with last year’s UCU strike action, the YCL fully supports the lecturers, teaching assistants and librarians in both their upcoming struggles, and just like last year, all students in the YCL will be out on the picket lines, supporting their lecturers. Their struggle is our struggle and we will fight together to ensure the success of the strikes. It is imperative that we do, not only for our own education, but also to send a message that working class solidarity will always overcome the division and exploitation of the bosses. The fact that lecturers are having to go on strike again, despite action last year, highlights the situation that they find themselves in. The struggle against casualisation, for better pay and conditions, is a struggle that we all feel. Working class students and young people are forced into more and more precarious employment, with fewer rights at work, eroded by government and unscrupulous employers. 👨‍🎓✊🚩
