Ed Miliband’s Palestine Statement Changes Nothing! | A World on Fire #20 10.09.2026 1чIn light of Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's "harsh" words for Israel this week, we ask: Why this seeming about-turn from Labour? What makes them feel they can make such statements, call extremist settlers terrorists, and impose sanctions on these settlements?Our job as communists is not to be impressionistic or to be overawed by so-called changes in policy, but to point out the real interests underneath.What lies at the heart of this policy "change" is an orchestrated attempt by Labour to try and win back support from those disgusted by Starmer's policy in the wake of October 7, while also attempting to show that British imperialism still toes the line of US foreign policy and supports the Israeli state.When those who oppose Zionism are STILL routinely labeled antisemitic, what has really changed?Therefore, the fight is not over for a free Palestine, so join us at the national demonstration for Palestine on October 10 in London. We will be running coaches from: Cambridge, Brighton, Norwich, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Brum, Leeds, Sheffield, Oxford ,ReadingFollow our socials for more details to come! _____________________________________________________________💬Send us a message on Signal: https://signal.me/#eu/r8dB8hkhKk1-M_UNj8tT4rs7R5MCAHcpiENZ71oQ9ibChCbrXpZMqYkdR7uTjxgK👍Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/aworldonfirepod/https://www.instagram.com/revolutionarycommunists/https://www.tiktok.com/@thecommunists✊ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party: https://communist.red/join📰 Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence Of Marxism: https://communist.red/subscribe💸 Donate to the RCP: https://communist.red/donate🌍 Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI: https://marxist.com -

Trapped in an age of political spectacle and impotence, the system is driving increasing frustration for both the ruling class and, most importantly, the working class.In this episode, we discuss: - The age of political spectacle: Analysing the Mandelson files and Hasan Piker being denied entry to the UK, and how these events link directly to the crisis of capitalism.-The Marxist theory of the state: Why the British state operates the way it does, how it is beholden to the interests of the bankers and bosses.-Them vs. Us: Are young people really to blame for being out of work?-Free Eshan Ali: Who is Eshan Ali, and how can you support our campaign?_____________________________________________________________💬Send us a message on Signal: https://signal.me/#eu/r8dB8hkhKk1-M_UNj8tT4rs7R5MCAHcpiENZ71oQ9ibChCbrXpZMqYkdR7uTjxgK👍Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/aworldonfirepod/https://www.instagram.com/revolutionarycommunists/https://www.tiktok.com/@thecommunists📣Support the campign to free Eshan Ali https://pakistansolidarity.org/https://www.instagram.com/freeehsanali/✊ Join the Revolutionary Communist Party: https://communist.red/join📰 Subscribe to The Communist and In Defence Of Marxism: https://communist.red/subscribe💸 Donate to the RCP: https://communist.red/donate🌍 Read the latest international news and analysis from the RCI: https://marxist.com -
How British imperialism paved the way for the Nakba | A World on Fire #16 15.05.2026 57минWe begin this season by connecting the dots between a capitalist ruling class responsible for the historic crimes of the Nakba and the crises of today: racism, war, and poverty.

The War in Iran: WHY IS BRITAIN INVOLVED?! | A World on Fire #13 04.03.2026 43минAs events escalated in the Middle East over the weekend, Britain found itself unceremoniously dragged into another criminal conflict. Despite Donald Trump’s evident contempt for "Sir" Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister has fallen right in line behind the latest US-Israeli attack on Iran.Trump has signaled that he views Britain not as a 'Churchill' but as a third-rate power with little choice but to follow the US lead. We discuss the looming impact of this war on British workers and argue why a serious alternative to militarism must be built in the coming period.___________________________________________________________________________Agree with the ideas in this show?

The Epstein class: Capitalism’s greatest scandal! | A World on Fire #12 25.02.2026 46минThe Epstein files have finally lifted the veil on the most prolific grooming gang in the history of capitalism. While figures like Keir Starmer attempt to wash their hands of the fallout, the reality is clear: this grubby network of businessmen, bankers, royals, and billionaires isn't an anomaly. It is a core feature of the day-to-day running of the capitalist state.As Pam Bondi, the United States Attorney General allegedly remarked, 'If we arrested everyone in the files, there would be no one left to rule.' This is no longer just another scandal — it is a crisis of legitimacy that capitalism may not survive and consciousness of millions of workers is being stirred._________________________________________________________Agree with the ideas in this show?

Will Farage be Britain's Trump? | A World on Fire #11 03.02.2026 44минWith the political centre in collapse and Labour struggling to maintain an image of control, we discuss to what extenet Nigel Farage can truly emulate the Trump model. Meanwhile, a major showdown looms in Gorton and Denton between Reform and the Greens. As many ask if Farage is "Britain’s Trump," we examine whether the Green Party’s message of "Hope" is enough to halt Reform’s momentum._____________________________________________________________Agree with the ideas in this show?

BONUS: Trump's plan to replace the UN | A World on Fire 28.01.2026 3минWith the launch of the Board of 'Peace' at the World Economic Forum, the 80-year global order is shifting. By inviting Putin and China—and requiring a $1 billion "buy-in"—Trump is effectively teeing up a parallel UN under his own leadership. -
Is this the END of NATO?! | A World on Fire #10 22.01.2026 1ч 2минDonald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland have effectively taken a bulldozer to NATO and all other western institutions. Despite Keir Starmer’s speeches and diplomatic efforts, he appears powerless to bridge the growing divide between Europe and the United States.In this episode, Fiona and Khaled explore the servility of Britain — a nation trapped between its continental neighbors and its master across the Atlantic. They argue that Starmer’s meek leadership style reflects Britain's diminishing influence in the global economy, threatening to leave it a lonely island amongst stormy seas. Could this realignment be the catalyst for changes in consciousness?___________________________________________________________________________Agree with the ideas in this show?

HANDS OFF VENEZUELA! | A World on Fire #9 07.01.2026 50минBritain has pushed for regime change in Venezuela for decades. Though Britain played no direct role in the criminal abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US forces, the UK government has offered its tacit support. In this special episode, Khaled and Fiona unpack the hypocrisy of the Starmer government. We lift the lid on the nefarious history of coup-plotting and subterfuge by the British state. We also ask if the left should make appeals to international law, or build a fighting, internationalist movement against imperialism. Agree with the ideas in this show?

Why I AM a communist! | A World on Fire #8 12.11.2025 52минAs the White House launches its Anti-Communist Week, the right wing seems increasingly puzzled by one question: why are so many young people in the West drawn to communist ideas and, why is their propaganda not working?In our penultimate episode of the season, Khaled and Fiona share their personal journeys; how they became communists, why they joined the Revolutionary Communist Party, and what’s driving a new generation toward revolutionary politics.Agree with the ideas in this show?

The West's Blood-soaked Record | A World on Fire #7 06.11.2025 56минThe end of the Cold War was meant to usher in an unprecedented era of world peace.Yet, three decades of endless conflict have instead left a trail of destruction and barbarism across the globe. Far from being peacemakers, the Western powers carry a blood-soaked record that speaks for itself.Now, as tensions rise once again in Latin America, Ukraine, and the Middle East, we ask: Why do capitalists go to war?Is it enough to point to the profits of the arms industry, or is war and militarism rooted more deeply in the very foundations of the capitalist system itself?Agree with the ideas in this show?

Make the left communist again! | A World on Fire #6 29.10.2025 1ч 2минThis week we ask: why is the left seemingly incapable of fighting the right wing? It is not simply a question of weak organisation or a lack of working-class support for a left-wing programme. The deeper issue is that the left, as it currently exists, is organically incapable of solving the problems of the working class because it refuse to lay the blame on the capitalist system.We trace the history of the left wing surge of the 2010s, in the form of Podemos, Jeremy Corbyn and Syriza, explaining why they ended in defeat. We examine the emergence of Zack Polanski and the Greens, alongside 'Your Party' to explain where their popularity comes from. Ultimately, we argue that the reforms being put forward will only work on the basis of a struggle against the capitalist system as a whole - which is what the Revolutionary Communist Party is trying to build.Agree with the ideas in this show?

Is Neoliberalism DEAD?! | A World on Fire #5 22.10.2025 53минNeoliberalism ; it’s the ideology said to be at the root of all our problems, right? It’s a popular buzzword, but what does it actually mean? What historical conditions gave rise to it, and can we really trace all of Britain’s issues back to the premiership of Margaret Thatcher?Fiona Lali and Khaled Malachi unpack the rise and unraveling of neoliberalism as a capitalist project, arguing that the problem runs deeper — it’s not just neoliberalism itself, but the underlying logic of the capitalist system.This is Part 1 of a two-part seriesAgree with the ideas in this show?
