  Left Unity – Why Is It So Hard to Achieve?
  By Mike Stanton
  Left unity matters. We need to understand what divides us and use the revival of class struggle and public protest to build unity in action. […]

  The Climate Crisis Must Be Part Of Our Fight Against Austerity.
  By Adam Colclough
  That Sunak contemplated failing to attend COP27 indicated that he, and by extension the UK, believed we had nothing to contribute to a transnational debate on the biggest threat we as a species face. […]

  Liberty – working class history
  By Ray Barron-Woolford
  As a gay man it pains me that we are all aware of the civil rights movements in the USA, India, and South Africa, but how the UK civil rights movement was fought and won is still never taught, not even the first civil rights case in law; Duncan vs Jones KB is not even used as a case study by the legal system, by lawyers seeking a job in civil rights law - how is that possible?

As is clear from the case of Robert Owen and his followers, they put plenty of effort into making their dreams a reality. But ultimately they lack a coherent strategy to transcend capitalism, so all their activity amounts to little more than philosophy. And, as Marx famously noted, “The philosophers only interpret the world, the point however is to change it.” […]
