The international situation has changed compared to expectations in the first five months of 2025. The Liaison Committee for the Fourth International has some impressions to share about this period

The involvement of the British Section of the LCFI, the Consistent Democrats, in the Socialist Labour Network (SLN) has been a bumpy ride at times over the past couple of years, but our comrades have played a constructive role in trying to push it forwards.

The local election results, and Reform’s defeat of Labour by 6 votes in the Runcorn and Helsby By- Election (previously one of Labour’s safest seats) shows that Starmer’s government is in free fall, the weakest and most hated British government less than a year after winning a general election outright, that anyone can remember.

This is a special double issue of Communist Fight. We won’t be doing this often, but the reason for this is that this issue contains a major document on China, which elaborates why our international tendency, the Liaison Committee for the Fourth International, have changed our position on the class nature of China.

Modi’s neo-fascist BJP government needs to sustain itself by leveraging anti-Pakistani Islamophobia and xenophobia, as well as the territorial conflict with the People’s Republic of China.

For the unity of the Hindustani masses in an anti-imperialist front that stands united in defense of China on the path to building a socialist federation of Hindustan! Let us defend all the peoples who are targets of imperialist maneuvers, for the defense of the territorial integrity of Pakistan! No to Modi’s Islamophobia in India! For the rights of the people of Kashmir!
