BREAK the Blockade on Cuba! 🇨🇺🤝🇬🇧 . The people of Cuba have played a key role in fighting the Coronavirus, with their anti-viral medication being used to treat it, their doctors being sent around the world to fight it, and their country even taking in a stranded British cruise ship to treat Coronavirus patients on board. . And yet, Cuba continues to be under siege from a criminal blockade, perpetrated by the United States, intended to strangle the Cuban economy and society. This is despite almost every other country in the world opposing the blockade, and the increasingly vocal unpopularity of the blockade even amongst staunch US allies like the British Government. . It is time to repay the favour to the Cuban people: Urge the British Government to call for an end to the criminal blockade on Cuba! 🏥 .

PROTECT THE PEOPLE 🏥 . Members across Britain are mobilising to protect the people during the coronavirus situation. 📣 . The COVID-19 crisis demonstrates the nature of this Tory government and the capitalist system. They are unable and unwilling to safeguard working people. It is working people who can and must save ourselves from this crisis. . We extend our condolences to all victims of the COVID-19 in every country and to their relatives and friends. We salute the courage and dedication of our NHS staff and of medical and other front-line workers everywhere. . We echo the call of the Communist Party to the labour movement and the working class of Britain: . Fight together now for all measures necessary to protect the people! Be vigilant in the defence of our democratic freedoms and of our right to struggle for a better society and Socialism! . Interested in joining the cause to protect people in your community, school or workplace? Contact us today! 📝 . Together, we can and will get through this! ✊ . #PeaceJobsSocialism #WFDY #corona #copetogether
The Conservatives have been criminally negligent in the face of the COVID-19 national emergency. They've put profits and the stock market ahead of the lives of working people. By obscuring the facts and failing to respond quickly, they've gambled with the lives of millions. Communists are clear we need a people's effort to respond to the crisis. Here's what we're calling for: ➡️➡️➡️www.communist-party.org.uk/britain/2582-communist-party-of-britain-statement-on-the-covid-19-crisis.html #COVID_19 #coronaUK #Coronavirus #crisis #communists #NHS #WFDY
Today marks the 149th anniversary of the founding of the Paris Commune - and the beginning of the new era of international working class revolution! 🔴✊🇫🇷 On the 18th of March 1871, the working people of Paris revolted against the French government's attempt to seize the arms they had taken to defend the city from the invading Prussians. Taking over the city they formed their own municipal government, putting forward a radical programme with the aim of creating a more just and equal society. The Commune would be suppressed two months later by the forces of the French government, but it represents the first attempt at working class state power and a continuing inspiration! Vive la Commune! Read more about the Commune and the lessons which can be drawn today in Marx’s the Civil War in France ➡️➡️➡️ www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1871/civil-war-france/
