This centenary year has seen a resurgence in publishing of books and pamphlets by the Communist Party. 📚

It has been a year where we discovered much about our history and the members who contributed so much to the shaping of the modern union, women's, anti-racist anti fascist, anti-imperialist and peace movements.

A year in which the Party talked for itself rather than let others define our history, or describe our policy.
A vibrant struggle of ideas; communists as builders of peoples movements and of struggle for improvement in the daily lives of workers, their families and communities.

It is the Communist Party that, for 100 years, has never lowered the Red Flag of socialism. There have been some high points in the year, not least a requirement to go for a fourth pressing of our programme, the Britain's Road to Socialism, since March.

And of course there was the Centenary for Socialism launched at a 'Making History' live event.

We are proud that the following publications, in addition to clearly setting out our line of march, are of a high standard of research and are well-written and designed.

They have been deliberately released at a reasonable price to make them available to those who want to find out more about the class struggle in Britain and the struggle of the communists home and internationally.

We thank Manifesto Press for joining with the Party to publish some of the key volumes.

If you have not read them, I urge you to do so, confident in the belief that you will find them thought-provoking. They make a powerful case for socialism.

The publications would make an excellent gift and each copy sold, helps the Party fund its future.

Please do not leave your decision too long as postal delays are having an effect on delivery times.

COMMUNISTS SLAM BREXIT TALKS 'CONFECTED THEATRE'
Britain's Communists have sounded a sceptical note about the extension of post-Brexit trade talks between the British government and the EU. (1/12)

Addressing the party's executive over the weekend, Alex Gordon said the continuing talks have 'an air of confected theatre about them, although these are performances that not many people might pay to watch'. (2/12)

He said it was 'frankly incredible' that the capitalist world's largest trading bloc and fifth biggest economy could not agree to frictionless trading arrangements, especially when their ruling classes share such common interests. (3/12)

Ten years of austerity cuts instead of massive investment in public services and productive industry has hugely increased the human and financial toll of the Covid crisis.
2/6

Now the economic recession which began early this year is going to bite deeper at a time when unemployment and government debt are already rocketing as a result of the pandemic.

PHONES RINGING RED - this weekend, communists across Britain are speaking to supporters and activists to reinforce a message of resistance and unity to face-down the drive “to marginalise socialists and left-wing ideas in the Labour Party and the wider labour movement.” (1/5)

In a statement Friday morning, the CP urged, “socialists and the Labour-affiliated trade unions must unite in solidarity with Corbyn, demand his reinstatement and fight to reverse the drive to marginalise the left in the Labour Party.” (2/5)

Says Communist Party general secretary Robert Griffiths, “Our members will be explaining that a stronger Communist Party - which is now rapidly growing in membership and locality - is crucial to the fight-back. " (3/5)
