A radical left has never been more urgent. Here we outline Counterfire’s political approach

Counterfire members have played an important role in trying to ensure Your Party is as broad, inclusive and insurgent as possible.

We have also played a significant part in building the unprecedented Palestine movement, nationally and locally.

Counterfire is a revolutionary socialist organisation committed to transforming our society from one based on the profit motive to one built on the needs of working people.

A new electoral alternative is a huge step forward for the left. But we believe it needs to be firmly linked to mass movements.

Change can only be achieved by working-class people organising themselves to challenge their bosses and the government that stands behind the bosses.

We believe that this kind of popular opposition also requires a dynamic extra-parliamentary left, rooted in workplaces, communities, and colleges.

We also insist that the struggles against oppression are connected. Racism, sexism, and every other form of oppression and discrimination are a product of a society based on the exploitation of working people by a tiny minority of capitalists. War, climate change, and inequality are all symptoms of a chaotic system based on market competition.

Counterfire puts the case for a revolutionary socialism that ultimately seeks popular control of society and genuine liberation for all.

What we do

We have more and more local branches around the country to help build the movements, solidarity with struggles and popularise socialist ideas and analysis.

As well as putting on a wide range of debates, public meetings and other events around the country, we run one of the best-read websites on the left which has tens of thousands of readers every month. And we distribute thousands of copies of the left’s first free paper.

Counterfire is growing fast. Please join us and help make change happen.
