  • Political Affairs Digest a Daily Summary of Political Events Affecting the Jewish Community
    19 May 2021 Issue 2,123 Political Affairs Digest A daily summary of political events affecting the Jewish Community Contents Home Affairs Relevant Legislation Israel Consultations Foreign Affairs Back issues Home Affairs House of Commons Oral Answers Antisemitic Attacks col 411 Mr Speaker: Before I call the Secretary of State to respond to the urgent question, I have a short statement to make. I know that all Members will be deeply concerned by the footage of apparently antisemitic behaviour that appeared online yesterday. I understand that a number of individuals have been arrested in relation to the incident, but that no charges have yet been made. Therefore, the House’s sub judice resolution is not yet formally engaged. However, I remind all Members to exercise caution and avoid referring to the details of specific cases in order to avoid saying anything that might compromise any ongoing investigation or subsequent prosecution. … Robert Halfon (Conservative): To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make a statement on recent antisemitic attacks across the UK. The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Robert Jenrick): No one could fail to be appalled by the disgraceful scenes of antisemitic abuse directed at members of the Jewish community in the past week. In Chigwell, Rabbi Rafi Goodwin was hospitalised after being attacked outside his synagogue. In London, activists drove through Golders Green and Finchley, both areas with large Jewish populations, apparently shouting antisemitic abuse through a megaphone. These are intimidatory, racist and extremely serious crimes. The police have since made four arrests for racially aggravated public order offences and have placed extra patrols in the St John’s Wood and Golders Green areas.

  • The Revolutionary Communist Group and Europe: a Comradely Polemic1 ______Introduction
    The Revolutionary Communist Group and Europe: A comradely polemic1 _____________________________________________________________ Introduction Ever since its formation over a quarter of a century ago, the Revolutionary Communist Group has been the scourge of the opportunist left in Britain. It has never refrained from taking up the ideological cudgels in defence of Marxism; never hesitated to combat the chauvinism which is widespread in the British labour movement. What the RCG lacks in size it makes up for in commitment and energy. It has campaigned tirelessly for a united and free Ireland, as well as struggled for the right of all oppressed peoples to self-determination. Its support for socialist countries, especially for Cuba, has been exemplary. It has exposed the parasitic and decaying character of British imperialism as no other British group has done. Heeding Lenin’s advice, it has gone down ‘lower and deeper’ to the most downtrodden of Britain’s toiling masses, all the while insisting that a new socialist movement can be built only outside and in opposition to the Labour Party. Wherever there are super-exploited and oppressed people in this country, there the RCG carries out its activities. Eschewing the comforts of armchair radicalism and without concern for its safety, it has fought long and hard against political policing, as well as worked among those incarcerated in Britain’s prisons. (I doubt if any other Marxist organisation has received as much praise from so many prisoners as this group has done.) In many respects, the RCG has saved the honour of the British working class. Yet on the question of Europe, the RCG has failed to tackle opportunism head-on, and in some instances has made major concessions to it.

  • A Socialist Schism
    A Socialist Schism: British socialists' reaction to the downfall of Milošević by Andrew Michael William Cragg Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Marsha Siefert Second Reader: Professor Vladimir Petrović CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 Copyright notice Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This work charts the contemporary history of the socialist press in Britain, investigating its coverage of world events in the aftermath of the fall of state socialism. In order to do this, two case studies are considered: firstly, the seventy-eight day NATO bombing campaign over the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999, and secondly, the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević in October of 2000. The British socialist press analysis is focused on the Morning Star, the only English-language socialist daily newspaper in the world, and the multiple publications affiliated to minor British socialist parties such as the Socialist Workers’ Party and the Communist Party of Great Britain (Provisional Central Committee). The thesis outlines a broad history of the British socialist movement and its media, before moving on to consider the case studies in detail.

  • Rank and File Must Control Pay Fight! 2 NEWS
    For a Solidarity workers’ government For social ownership of the banks and industry No 340 15 October 2014 30p/80p www.workersliberty.org See page 5 Rank and file must control pay fight! 2 NEWS What is the Alliance for Workers’ Liberty? Today one class, the working class, lives by selling its labour power to another, the capitalist class, which owns the means of production. Society is shaped by the capitalists’ relentless drive to increase their wealth. Capitalism causes poverty, unemployment, the blighting of lives by overwork, imperialism, the destruction of the environment and much else. Against the accumulated wealth and power of the capitalists, the working class has one weapon: solidarity. The Alliance for Workers’ Liberty aims to build solidarity through struggle so that the working class can overthrow capitalism. We want socialist revolution: collective ownership of industry and services, workers’ control and a democracy much fuller than the present system, with elected representatives recallable at any time and an end to bureaucrats’ and managers’ privileges. We fight for the labour movement to break with “social partnership” and assert working-class interests militantly against the bosses. Our priority is to work in the workplaces and trade unions, Free education in Germany supporting workers’ struggles, producing workplace bulletins, helping organise rank-and-file groups.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: SLAVE SHIPS, SHAMROCKS, AND SHACKLES: TRANSATLANTIC CONNECTIONS IN BLACK AMERICAN AND NORTHERN IRISH WOMEN’S REVOLUTIONARY AUTO/BIOGRAPHICAL WRITING, 1960S-1990S Amy L. Washburn, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Deborah S. Rosenfelt Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation explores revolutionary women’s contributions to the anti-colonial civil rights movements of the United States and Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. I connect the work of Black American and Northern Irish revolutionary women leaders/writers involved in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Black Panther Party (BPP), Black Liberation Army (BLA), the Republic for New Afrika (RNA), the Soledad Brothers’ Defense Committee, the Communist Party- USA (Che Lumumba Club), the Jericho Movement, People’s Democracy (PD), the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA), the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP), the National H-Block/ Armagh Committee, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), Women Against Imperialism (WAI), and/or Sinn Féin (SF), among others by examining their leadership roles, individual voices, and cultural productions. This project analyses political communiqués/ petitions, news coverage, prison files, personal letters, poetry and short prose, and memoirs of revolutionary Black American and Northern Irish women, all of whom were targeted, arrested, and imprisoned for their political activities. I highlight the personal correspondence, auto/biographical narratives, and poetry of the following key leaders/writers: Angela Y. Davis and Bernadette Devlin McAliskey; Assata Shakur and Margaretta D’Arcy; Ericka Huggins and Roseleen Walsh; Afeni Shakur-Davis, Joan Bird, Safiya Bukhari, and Martina Anderson, Ella O’Dwyer, and Mairéad Farrell.
