Statement of the Executive Committee of the Young Communist League on today’s School Strike against climate change. The YCL salutes the youth of Britain, including our own members, and the young people around the world participating in today’s School Strike. This protest should serve as an inspiration to spur us on to greater action and resistance. There is no denying the facts any longer, the planet is warming. Destructive and catastrophic weather events are increasing in frequency and severity. The world stands on a tipping point. Unless there is fundamental change now, the world as we understand it, will cease to exist. During today’s School Strike there have been many banners and slogans, some serious, some humorous. The time for sloganeering however, is over. The youth of Britain and all the young people across the world out today demand that our world leaders act now to make a stand against climate change. The YCL and the international Communist movement go further. We recognise that what is required is a systematic shift in our society. We must make a break with capitalism which is destroying the planet. Capitalism has proven itself unwilling and unable to save our planet. Climate change is a class issue. The world’s richest 10% account for 50% of fossil fuel emissions, with the poorest 50% accounting for just 10%. Just 100 companies have accounted for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions since 1988. Unless we change, the human story will end almost as soon as it started on a poisoned earth. It is the duty of socialists to bring the environmental movement, inspiringly led by so many young people today, and the labour movement together. If we fail in this task, then the environmental movement will be incapable of bringing about the systemic change the planet needs. Similarly if the labour movement continues to ignore the issue it will continue to lose touch with the youth of our class. Time for our planet is running out. Our enemy is strong. However we know that the power of working people is insurmountable. It is up to the youth to lead this fight. We demand a future! The only future there can be is socialist! Executive Committee YCL

Yesterday marked the 136th anniversary of the death of Kark Marx, one of the most important philosophers in human history. Marx passed away in 1883 following many years of illness. Although only around ten mourners attended his funeral, his theories were already influencing the labour and socialist movement. Under the banner of the Communist Parties, his ideas have gone on to inspire countless millions across the planet in the struggle for peace, freedom and a dignified life. In the words of his friend and co-theorist Friedrich Engels: “His name will endure through the ages, and so also will his work! If you would like to learn more about Marx’s ideas, start with the Communist Party’s study course Introducing Marxism. ➡️➡️➡️ https://yclbritain.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/introducing-marxism-cp-study-course.pdf

Inspiring young people across the world today take a stand against decades and decades of inaction against climate change. We support their calls for radical change. There can be no socialism without a planet and there will not be a planet for much longer if capitalism persists. ✊🌍♻️🌿 #youthstrike4climate

"If you fight, you won't always win,, but if you don't fight, you'll always lose." Bob Crow 1961-2014 On the 5th anniversary of his death, the YCL pays tribute to exemplary leader of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) and Communist, Bob Crow. He led where others bowed to capital, fighting against the EU and partnership models between unions and employers. The best way to honour his legacy is by joining the struggle to rebuild a militant mass trade union movement ✊🔴
