United Communists of Europe

The central task of the United Communists of Europe is to lay the foundation for the organisation of the communist party. Through our programmatic intervention, we hope to enable revolutionaries to create new communist organisations that express the revolutionary politics of the proletariat. With our politics, which are rooted in revolutionary Marxism, we hope to provide everything that is needed to transform the working class into a politically conscious proletarian subject, with a clear vision of its needs and interests. In this article, we would like to address what constitutes the communist party and how it differs from bourgeois parties.  A bourgeois party is the political unification of the bourgeoisie on a programmatic basis in order to enact policies that advance and protect the system of capitalist property. This is made possible by the bourgeoisie's monopoly on state-power, which it uses to enforce its legislation, repress the proletariat and advance the class interests o...

To understand Marx's position, one must understand the social function of opium.  In Marx's time until the forties, opium was used as a painkiller and an anaesthet...

It tries to account for how political consciousness arises and what is involved in organising it .  Introduction A major principle of revolutionary Marxism is the idea that the working class is the social agent of revolutionary transformation. Unlike the petty-bourgeoisie and the peasantry, which are fragmented and partial, the working class has the power to lead the whole of society to radical social change.  Our primary goal is to enable the working class to seize state-power through an armed insurrection and the continuation of revolutionary war on an international scale. We want to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat, establish a socialist planned economy within a united federation of socialist states in Europe, and support revolutionary forces around the world. The end goal of the United Communists of Europe is communism, which is the natural product of an internationa...
