Communist Society

Are you a communist? Then get organised! We study revolution and hold open discussions about Marxist ideas so that we may take them to the movement. We'll bring you along to local pickets and protests, getting you stuck in the class struggle. Join the Communist Society in training the next generation of revolutionary leadership!

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 as well as getting involved in the local student and labour movement, on the streets, pickets and protests. Our aim is to build an alternative to the world we see around us now. We believe that the capitalist system is responsible for massive exploitation and oppression of workers and youth. 

We can see the suffering that capitalism is causing all around us. From the skyrocketing cost of living to the war in Ukraine, capitalism is facing its biggest global crisis, and is more economically and politcally unstable than ever before. We have all grown up knowing nothing but economic crisis, austerity and increasingly deranged governments in parliament. 

We believe the ideas of Marxism are the only ideas which can explain the turmoil around us, and that we must study these ideas closely so that we can build the revolutionary leadership needed to overthrow capitalism. 

Join the SUSU Communist Society if you:

  • Want to learn more about Marxism, socialism and communism
  • Enjoy interesting discussions with people about philosophy, politics, economics and world events
  • Want to debate and support your own views on Marxism, and
  • Want to fight to overthrow capitalism and fight for the socialist revolution!

See our Linktree for important links and social media!

The Southampton Communist Society stands with the Southampton Branch of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), the British section of the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI), which is fighting for the overthrow of capitalism and a socialist future for humanity in over 70 countries around the world. Join us!
