REVOLUTION FESTIVAL

REVOLUTION FESTIVAL

Frustration and anger is boiling over across Britain. Wages stagnate while prices soar, public services crumble while the rich line their pockets, and decisions that shape millions of lives are made in gilded rooms.

The British establishment is dripping from head to toe with blood and dirt, supporting genocide abroad and murder by austerity at home. People standing against genocide are being locked up, while the real terrorists sit comfortably in Whitehall.

People have a right to be angry, but anger alone is not enough. It must be sharpened by revolutionary theory and strategy. On this basis, the rising anger can become a powerful force for the overthrow of the billionaires and their corrupt system.

The Revolution Festival is a three day school of communist ideas, aimed at training a new layer of revolutionaries for the fight to end capitalism, and for the building of a society based on the interests of the masses — not the profits of a handful of useless, greedy billionaires.

Join comrades of the Revolutionary Communist Party from, 14th-16th November 2025, and help build a revolutionary force to end capitalism once and for all.
