Boris Kagarlitsky gave this talk in London at Communist University 2009.

There is much debate on today's far left about the nature of the Labour Party.

Has the rise of New Labour and Tony Blair ensured that the party ceases to be a 'bourgeois workers' party? What does that term even mean?

Mike Macnair of the Communist Party of Great Britain tackles these questions by tracing the history of the Labour Party up to the present day.

Mark Fischer (CPGB) and Dave Douglass (NUM) discuss the lessons of the Great Miners' Strike of 1984-5 at Communist University 2009.

Families of detained, tortured and murdered protesters have been gathering daily in front of Evin Prison as well as the Revolutionary Court of the Islamic Republic. The families demands include visitation rights to see their loves ones and the immediate release of all political prisoners. These protests have been attacked by militia and security forces during the recent troubles. The video below was filmed on the first day of Ramadan (August 22).

Jack Conrad introduced this session at the recent Communist University.
