The United Communists of Europe is a network of communists across Europe who are trying to build a new communist party. Our primary task is to unite the working class and transform it into a force that can overthrow capitalism. We are revolutionaries who struggle for a socialist revolution that can bring about a socialist state, in which the working class holds state power and drastically transforms society. We take inspiration from the former socialist countries, such as the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China. We look to present-day socialist Cuba as an example of what working people can achieve when they take state-power and embark on the socialist road. The Cuban Revolution, which has been under attack for over seventy years by the imperialists, continues its long march to free not just Cuba but the oppressed peoples of the global South. Our organisation supports the strategic alliance between the international working class and the oppressed peoples of the world. Our anti-imperialism sees the working class as the key force to breaking imperialism's hold over and liberating the masses.
The United Communists of Europe unites with social movements that are confronting racism, transphobia, misogyny and national oppression. We call for an alliance between the working class and the peoples movements to transform society. Our organisation thinks that much can be gained when communists participate in these struggles while respecting their leadership. We must show that we are the best organisers in order to win the popular masses to our side. This requires honesty, discipline, transparency, and respect for those whom we are working with.
Fascism represents a real danger today. Across Europe, far-right movements aligned with fascism have grown and taken power: Wilders in the Netherlands, Meloni in Italy, and Orban in Hungary. Fascism represents the organised terror of capital and the bourgeoisie's fight to totally destroy the organisations of the working class. Due to the crisis of monopoly capital and a significant weakening of revolutionary socialist organisations, many layers of the petty-bourgeoisie and some workers have turned to fascist organisations. To break the appeal of fascism, we must build a popular movement that results in a mass workers party that can mobilise millions against capital. It must reinvigorate revolutionary Marxism by creating a vibrant and dynamic culture of discussion and theoretical practice. We cannot wait for this to happen, as all the signs point to a decline of the Left around Europe. Therefore, we must join the popular movements against fascism, which involves exposing fascists wherever they try to organise, disrupting their events, and making it impossible for them to spread their poisonous ideas.
We put a high value on theoretical discussion. The primary theorists of Marxism are Marx, Engels and Lenin, but also Mao Tse-Tung, Leon Trotsky, Charles Bettelheim, Nicos Poulantzas, Louis Althusser, and the Monthly Review School (Paul Sweezy, Paul Baran, John Bellamy Foster, and Intan Suwandi). The historical experience of the Soviet Union and other socialist states (i.e. the GDR, the PRC, etc.) contain valuable lessons for the working class. Despite many contradictions these were socialist social formations that show what is possible in transitional workers' states. While they may have been on the capitalist road–as both Trotsky and Mao showshow–they offer valuable lessons to the working class. We think it is important to look at many sources when studying the socialist countries in order to gain a clear understanding of them.
If you are a communist and want to be part of a movement that is trying to end capitalism, the United Communists of Europe might be a good group for you.
Down with imperialism and the bourgeoisie!
Down with racism, transphobia, misogyny and all forms of oppression!
Unite the working class and build a fighting workers movement!
For socialist revolution everywhere and a united socialist Europe!
For an international communist world!
