A UNIQUE production bringing the Communist Party’s programme to a wider audience in audiobook form will be launched at the TUC Congress in Brighton on October 20, reflecting a growing fascination with the party’s ideas.
An indicator of the surge in interest in British communism today is that the political programme Britain’s Road to Socialism (BRS) has had to be reprinted five times since the latest edition came out just two years ago.
