The Communist Society is a group of revolutionary students, working to build a revolutionary organisation in Britain and across the world. 

We meet every week to discuss the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. We then take these ideas into the local student and labour movements, on the streets, pickets and protests. Our aim is to build an alternative to the world we see around us now. The capitalist system is responsible for the massive exploitation and oppression of workers and youth. 

The suffering that capitalism causes is evidenced in every corner of society. From the genocide in Gaza, to the skyrocketing cost of living, to the war in Ukraine, capitalism is facing its biggest global crisis, and is more economically and politically unstable than ever before. We have all grown up knowing nothing but economic crisis, austerity and increasingly deranged governments in parliament. 

The ideas of Marxism are the only ideas which can explain the turmoil of the international working class, and we must study these ideas closely so that we can build the revolutionary leadership needed to overthrow capitalism.
