On the 149th anniversary of his birth, the YCL pays tribute to the life and contribution of Comrade Vladimir Lenin. As leader of the Bolsheviks, Lenin was the figurehead of the struggle to smash Tsarism, reaction and to build socialism 1️⃣4️⃣9️⃣ For the peoples of Soviet Union, this ushered in a radical expansion of democratic rights, rights for women and minorities and a new dignified way of living 🕊🔴 For the peoples of the world, Lenin's theory and practice developed Marxism as the most powerful tool in the hands of oppressed peoples 📚⚙️ Lenin recognised that the youth of the working class will always play a leading role in the struggle for socialism 🚩 Long live Lenin! ✊ Long live the International Communist Youth! 🌍 ➡️➡️➡️ www.marxists.org/ebooks/lenin/state-and-revolution.pdf

Pierre Marshall from the Young Communist League of Britain attends the 14th Congress of the UJCE, our sister organisation in Spain. Across Europe and the world the young Communists are on the march for a better life and a socialist future. For real workers' internationalism in the spirit of the International Brigades where many British volunteers fought fascism, on the side of the Spanish Republic, democracy and the working class!

YCL is excited to announce that our 2019 Summer Camp will once again be held in Edale, England, at the heart of the Peak District National Park 🚩⛺️⛰ Edale holds a special place in the history of the League being at the foot of Kinder Scout – site of the historic YCL led mass trespass of 1932. This was a turning point in campaigning by working people in Britain, led by Communists such as YCL legend Benny Rothman, to win access to the countryside for recreation and leisure. This year’s Summer Camp promises to be the best yet, building on successful and growing annual Camps 2014 – 2018 The Camp will be held from the afternoon of Friday 9 until Sunday afternoon 11 August 2019. As ever the Summer Camp is open to all members and friends of the YCL and the Communist Party (including non-members). The YCL will once again be returning in force to Edale in the heart of England, which hosted Camps in 2014 and 2018. The full 2019 timetable and activities will be published shortly. The Camp is set to feature plenty of outdoor recreation, a hike up Kinder Scout, film showings and socialising as well as lots of political discussion and education. No glamping for Britain’s Communist youth, the Camp will be under canvas but we have arranged a comfortable indoor setting for all meals, classes and socials (the British summer giving no guarantees!). Transport shouldn’t be a problem, the Campsite is only a stone’s throw from Edale train station. Edale is only half an hour from Sheffield, 1 hour from Manchester, 2 hours from Birmingham and 3 hours from London on regular trains. Contact your YCL branch to see about travelling as a group. The Camp will cost £20 (unwaged) or £40 (waged) and this all inclusive with full board. We have tried to make the Camp as cheap as possible but please get in contact if cost looks like an issue for you. Comrades are encouraged to stay both nights, however if circumstances mean you can't make it till Saturday morning or would rather leave a bit earlier we have made arrangements to allow flexibility. The full timetable and more information will be published shortly. To book online go to www.ycl.org.uk/2019/04/03/ communist-summer-camp-2019/
