It is with the greatest of sadness that the CPGB-ML and Proletarian announce the death of one of their staunchest comrades in the early hours of 26 March from pancreatic cancer and further complications arising therefrom. Although he was diagnosed as suffering from this lethal disease only two months ago, it was already in a very advanced state. Obituary: Godfrey Andries Cremer
All too often, anti-privatisation campaigners leave themselves exposed by a superficial analysis that sees the HASC Bill as the personal project of Lansley himself. Always in the background there lurks the dangerous illusion that every British worker should by now know to avoid like the plague: that if only a Labour government were in office, all would be well.

Despite all the costly lessons that Libya could and should have taught StW's leaders, we are once again seeing that, just as the British people are being bombarded with wall-to-wall propaganda lies that are aimed at demonising the Syrian government and justifying a full-scale war against the country, StW leaders are lining up ... to denounce the Syrian government!

We greet the millions of public-sector workers who went on strike on 30 November, protesting against a massive assault on their wages, social benefits and retirement pensions. They are quite right to say that the crisis is not of their making; that they can't and won't pay for it; and that they will oppose all the government's cuts, whether implemented by the ConDem government or by Labour, Tory or LibDem councils.
We need to understand, though, that the government's austerity programme is merely the reflection of the deepest ever crisis of this historically outmoded system. No reform is capable of breaking the downward spiral of crisis and war into which capitalism is dragging us all. The only solution is to organise a movement capable of destroying the old and building the new!
If it were to be faced by a united working-class movement, the bourgeoisie, who number only a few thousand billionaires and their favourites, knows that it could not survive. Hence the urgent need to divide the masses of the people in addition to intimidating them ... Read the full article
In the twenty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, a new generation of communists and anti-imperialists has grown up, knowing almost nothing about the USSR and the revisionist distortions that led to its downfall. This new pamphlet details those key Khrushchevite distortions of Marxism Leninism in the field of ideology, politics and class struggle.
The CPGB-ML was set up in July 2004 by a group of committed communists who had either been expelled or had resigned from the Socialist Labour Party. It was set up in recognition of the fact that there was no existing party in Britain that carried a consistently Marxist-Leninist, anti-imperialist, anti-social democratic political line. It was, and is, the unshakable conviction of these comrades that only such a party can develop into a genuine working-class vanguard.
More information on the setting up of the CPGB-ML can be found in the first issue of our journal, Proletarian, in particular the article Why the CPGB-ML?.
As time has gone on, our belief that we are truly different from all the other parties calling themselves socialist and communist in Britain has only deepened. In 2011, there was clear blue water between our position and that of every other party on ALL the important questions: on the crisis, its causes and solutions; on Libya and Col Gaddafi; on the youth uprisings; on Korea and Comrade Kim Il Sung.
What differentiates us is a consistent revolutionary analysis and a thoroughly scientific approach to all aspects of our work. We are small, but we are growing. We welcome anyone who is serious and committed to working for a socialist future.
