Class War "bashing the rich"

A quite disgusting extract from Class War's book "a decade of disorder" showing a punk punching a man in the face with a condom filled with faeces seemingly for the crime of wearing a suit.

2011 addition: it turns out that these photos were actually taken as a joke by the band Chumbawamba to see if Class War would actually publish them as something good - they did.

lol, if he was rich who cares

do you think everyone who wears a suit is "rich"?

I have done temp jobs on £6 an hour where I have had to wear a suit

[Edited, because I initially put £7, then I remembered it was actually 6!]

er well the fact that they were attacked for being 'rich bastards', and we are given no indication about their background or information about how they are rich and bastards, strongly infers in my mind that they are proposing that suits are always a symbol of wealth, hence that is the reason they were attacked.

its pretty dumb of cw to print this without even asking for a bit more info on the 'rich bastards'

ICC online public meeting on the lessons of the mass strikes of 1905 in Russia

The importance of the lessons of 1905 for the struggles of today and the future
ICC online public meeting

Saturday 27 September 2025,

2pm to 5pm UK time.

It is 120 years since the working class in Russia rose up against the Tsarist regime, developing forms of struggle and organisation that announced the proletariat’s response to the approach of a whole new epoch in the life of world capitalism: the mass strike and the soviets (workers’ councils). These forms and methods of struggle were to appear again and again over the following decades, most notably in the international revolutionary wave of 1917-23, which saw the working class in Russia, organised in its councils, seize and hold political power for a brief period.

Thus, the 1905 revolution still contains numerous lessons for the class struggle today and in the future, and it is up to all those who recognise the need for a revolutionary struggle against capitalism to discuss and clarify these lessons in the light of subsequent experience. This is the aim of the forthcoming public meeting, which will be held online in English (together with other meetings on the same theme in different languages).

Given the volatility of the world situation, we will be prepared to devote some time at the meeting to possible major developments.
