We are the Portsmouth Student Chapter for the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), the British section of the Revolutionary Communist International. 

Tired of capitalism? Then get organized with the RCP and fight for collective liberation!

War, imperialism, and climate catastrophe—these are all symptoms of the system. Unmask its contradictions with us.

Within our society, we are constructing an educated base of committed Marxists. To use Karl Marx's most famous words: “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.”

This will be done through:

• Weekly Literature Discussion (Communist Manifesto, State and Revolution, The Transitional Programme, and more).
• Learning more about the RCP as an organisation, our history and our objectives within the UK and internationally.
• Discussion of Global Affairs, such as the ongoing Genocides in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Palestine.
• Discussion of Global Socialist Revolutionaries such as Vladimir Lenin, Thomas Sankara, Che Guevara and Leila Khaled.

Additionally, we hope to provide opportunities for young Comrades to engage not just in Theory, but in Action! Those who are interested are encouraged to engage in Praxis / Mutual Aid activities.

This includes:

• Attending Local Paper Sales to discuss communism with the local community/other Students
• Community Clean-ups to improve the local environment and improve public perception of communists
• Fundraising for Homeless/Struggling Families/Striking Unions
