Building the revolutionary party
Our International has made huge advances in the past year. From our tremendously successful ‘Are You A Communist’ campaign, to our bold work in the Palestine solidarity movement, to comrade Fiona Lali’s massively successful election campaign in Britain. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> On top of that, we have swelled our ranks, and are founding Revolutionary Communist Parties all over the world. We can truly say that the communists have arrived!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In this episode, the culmination of our founding conference, Hamid Alizadeh from our global leadership gives an inspiring report of our work in the last period, before formally announcing the founding of the Revolutionary Communist International!

How can the communists conquer the masses?
Communists place a great deal of importance on education and theoretical study, but that doesn’t mean we confine ourselves to small reading groups.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The question of building the revolutionary party is central. Once a small revolutionary organisation has grown to the size necessary to become a factor in the class struggle, how can the revolutionary party win over the most advanced layer of the youth and the working class? Furthermore, what is a revolutionary crisis, and how can the party conquer the leadership of the working class? Above all, in order to lead the revolution to victory, how can it conquer the support of the masses?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Revolutionary Communist International aims to organise the most advanced, revolutionary-oriented youth and workers, and train them as communist cadres. While we do so we need to steel all our members with an understanding of how to approach these questions. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> If we succeed in this task, we will be building powerful communist parties around the world.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> As Francesco Merli from our international leadership explains in this talk, we must understand the method of Lenin and the Bolsheviks if we want to find a route to the working class, in order to offer direction and a programme when revolutionary struggles eventually, inevitably erupt.

World revolution or socialism in one country?
Ever since the days of Marx and Engels, communists have understood that the struggle to overthrow capitalism is inherently international.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This reflects the fact that capitalism is a global system, and that the power of the world market can only be overthrown by the planned cooperation of at least several countries, operating on the basis of the most advanced productive forces developed under capitalism.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It was with this in mind that Lenin describes the Russian Revolution as only the start of the world proletarian revolution.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> However, after Lenin’s death in 1924, Stalin put forward the idea of ‘socialism in one country’, which marked a fundamental departure not only from the internationalism of Lenin, but from Marxism itself.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In this talk, Josh Holroyd from the RCI’s international leadership will explain why socialism in one country is impossible, and how the adoption of this false idea contributed to some of the worst catastrophes ever suffered by the world workers’ movement.
