Young Communist League - Britain

Excellent article in today’s Morning Star by Young Communist League - Glasgow Branch’s Industrial Organiser on organising precarious workers ⚙️💪📈
1️⃣ “Capitalism thrives on control and power, and it seeks demoralise and distract workers. Precarious work is a vital tool of this system, in that it weakens any sense of collectivity.” ✂️👥
2️⃣ “The challenge for unions, therefore, is not just to organise precarious workers but to allow them to have ownership over their campaigns.”... 🤝📣
3️⃣ “Young people are all too often, rather paternalistically, described as “the future of our movement.” In fact, we are the present — and it is us who can deliver a better future for generations yet to come” 🚩👫

- Albashir is gone,but the regime stays.
- What happened during the 11th of april was a palace coup.
-The peoples chant everywhere THE REVOLUTION CONTINUES TILL FINAL VICTORY.
- Alkhateeb and masoud are free, both have visited the party headquarters where they received standing ovation under the slogan FREEDOM PEACE ,JUSTICE,REVOLUTION is the people choice.
- Despite the success of the revolution in removing albashir, who enjoyed the outside support of the Troika, EU, USA, Canada, and local reactionary goverments like QATAR, EYGPT and Turkey.
- And the freeing of all political detainees, except some in DABAK prison.
- The temporary set back will be split with the increased unity and determination of the masses to roll back and defeat the present military transitional council.
- Staging the military coup was a carbon copy of what had happened in Eygpt to abort their Jan. 2011 revolution.
- The SCP and all the opposition forces are adament in their revolution continue the fight till the establishment of a civil government that represent the masses and implment the democratic alternative programme accepted by all the force including the forces of national consensus, Sudan Call, the professionals association and the armed groups.

Statement of the YCL Executive Committee on today’s 70th anniversary of the founding of NATO ✊🌍🕊
On the 70th anniversary of the founding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), the Young Communist League condemns the bloody legacy of the imperialist alliance and calls for Britain’s immediate withdrawal.
One of the greatest myths propagated today is that NATO is a defensive alliance determined to uphold peace and democracy in Europe, North America and the wider world...

YCL is excited to announce that our 2019 Summer Camp will once again be held in Edale, England, at the heart of the Peak District National Park 🚩⛺️⛰
Edale holds a special place in the history of the League being at the foot of Kinder Scout – site of the historic YCL led mass trespass of 1932. This was a turning point in campaigning by working people in Britain, led by Communists such as YCL legend Benny Rothman, to win access to the countryside for recreation and leisure.
Our... Summer Camp carries on that tradition in 2019 giving young workers from across Britain the opportunity to come together for political education and to socialise and enjoy our natural heritage. _________________________________________ ________
This year’s Summer Camp promises to be the best yet, building on successful and growing annual Camps 2014 – 2018.
The Camp will be held from the afternoon of Friday 9 until Sunday afternoon 11 August 2019.
As ever the Summer Camp is open to all members and friends of the YCL and the Communist Party (including non-members). The YCL will once again be returning in force to Edale in the heart of England, which hosted Camps in 2014 and 2018.
The Camp is being hosted in the picturesque village of Edale next to the Kinder Scout National Nature Reserve – scene of the historic mass trespass.
The full 2019 timetable and activities will be published shortly. The Camp is set to feature plenty of outdoor recreation, a hike up Kinder Scout, film showings and socialising as well as lots of political discussion and education.
No glamping for Britain’s Communist youth, the Camp will be under canvas but we have arranged a comfortable indoor setting for all meals, classes and socials (the British summer giving no guarantees!).
Transport shouldn’t be a problem, the Campsite is only a stone’s throw from Edale train station. Edale is only half an hour from Sheffield, 1 hour from Manchester, 2 hours from Birmingham and 3 hours from London on regular trains. Contact your YCL branch to see about travelling as a group.
The Camp will cost £20 (unwaged) or £40 (waged) and this all inclusive with full board.
We have tried to make the Camp as cheap as possible but please get in contact if cost looks like an issue for you.
Comrades are encouraged to stay both nights, however if circumstances mean you can’t make it till Saturday morning or would rather leave a bit earlier we have made arrangements to allow flexibility.
The full timetable and more information will be published shortly.
To book online go to www.ycl.org.uk/2019/04/03/communist-summe r-camp-2019/
The year’s Camp is shaping up to be the best yet so make sure you are there and part of a new YCL tradition!
Places are limited – so book now to avoid disappointment!
