Communism has spread throughout the Atlantic region over the last two years.

The decline of the “natural governing party” of the country represents the last gasp of the untenable status quo. 

Our ruling classes are ready to drag us all into war to protect their imperialist interests.

When political leaders like Biden, Starmer, Macron and Scholz, together with all the other criminal warmongers – sitting in the comfort of their government buildings, living in their luxurious residences, making lots of money as they serve the interests of the rich and powerful capitalist class – make speeches about the ‘right of Israel to defend itself’, remember what the hell they’ve brought to Gaza.

The Israeli regime, and the western powers who support it, are enemies of the workers and youth of the Middle East. They have been wreaking havoc in the region for more than a century, keeping it crushed under the jackboot of barbaric imperialist oppression.

Taking a struggle to court means taking it out of the hands of the workers and into a channel that’s safe for the bosses. The courts are part of the bourgeois state apparatus, and ultimately serve the interests of employers.

Five years ago, the RCP had hardly an organized presence in BC. With this school, we have announced that communism is back in British Columbia!

The position of revolutionary communists in this conflict is clear. We stand with the oppressed against the oppressors. We stand against the reactionary imperialist state of Israel and with the oppressed Palestinians, and now Lebanese, who are at the receiving end of brutal military aggression. We support their right to defend themselves.

Protesters around the world often refer to the state of Israel as a ‘terrorist state’. The Israeli regime dislikes that epithet, but what else can you call it’s actions in Lebanon?

If the attack on Lebanon turns into a long, drawn-out war, it would have serious consequences both inside Israel and in the region as a whole.
