Early on the morning of Monday 31 May, in international waters some 90 miles from Gaza’s coastline, and in direct contravention of international law and the Geneva conventions, Israeli commandos forcibly boarded a peaceful convoy of aid ships that was headed to Gaza city.
Articles in this pamphlet tell the story of the attack, as well as setting out the consequences for Israeli zionism and for the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
"This house believes capitalism can save the planet"
Check out the two-part video of Harpal Brar (Chair of the CPGB-ML) arguing against the proposition "This house believes capitalism can save the planet" at a debate held at the Oxford Union on 6 November 2008.
If we are serious about building a revolutionary movement capable of overthrowing British imperialism, it is imperative that those working within the movement are able to see clearly on this, the most divisive of issues, and are confident in thoroughly refuting all the bourgeois prejudices that have been so carefully inculcated in our minds via school, literature, the media etc.
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? Readers may also be interested to read the correspondence between the 'leadership' faction of the SLP and various expelled comrades.
