This centenary year has seen a resurgence in publishing of books and pamphlets by the Communist Party. 📚

It has been a year where we discovered much about our history and the members who contributed so much to the shaping of the modern union, women's, anti-racist anti fascist, anti-imperialist and peace movements.
A year in which the Party talked for itself rather than let others define our history, or describe our policy.
A vibrant struggle of ideas; communists as builders of peoples movements and of struggle for improvement in the daily lives of workers, their families and communities.
It is the Communist Party that, for 100 years, has never lowered the Red Flag of socialism. There have been some high points in the year, not least a requirement to go for a fourth pressing of our programme, the Britain's Road to Socialism, since March.
And of course there was the Centenary for Socialism launched at a 'Making History' live event.

We are proud that the following publications, in addition to clearly setting out our line of march, are of a high standard of research and are well-written and designed.
They have been deliberately released at a reasonable price to make them available to those who want to find out more about the class struggle in Britain and the struggle of the communists home and internationally.
We thank Manifesto Press for joining with the Party to publish some of the key volumes.

If you have not read them, I urge you to do so, confident in the belief that you will find them thought-provoking. They make a powerful case for socialism.
The publications would make an excellent gift and each copy sold, helps the Party fund its future.

Please do not leave your decision too long as postal delays are having an effect on delivery times.

My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."

Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016."

"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."

Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”
