We have a new website, and we are on Bluesky, come and find us:

ALT Screenshot of the front page of our website, with a red round logo with the words "radical poster collective" across it and the words "The poster is a weapon in the service of the struggle" - there is also an image of the painting "Beat the whites with the red wedge" by E Lissitsky.
Originally a kind of prank to see if Amazon would sell something saying "Fuck Jeff Bezos" through their self publishing arm - KDP. It worked and it's now live on their website - at a stupid price.
Also has a page for Musk.
Available from us for just £1: radicalpostercollective.co.u…
I think she said the quiet part out loud. Wars are fought in stinking blood and shit sodden trenches, swarming with fleas, by working class kids failed by capitalism, while the bosses and aristocrats sit at home cheering them on and making money.

Memorial to the Jewish volunteers of the International Brigades (IB). It plays with Star of David and the 3-point of the IB. Around 20% (about 7,000) of Brigaders were Jewish. Fossar de la Pedrera, the mass grave of the victims of the Franco regime in Barcelona. Montjüic cemetery
At the Manchester and Salford Anarchist Bookfair on Saturday, one of our collective members was talking to someone who is supporting refugees in Greece - if you are that person or know them, please do get in touch via our DMs, to talk about how we can help.
Wow - London Anarchist Bookfair was amazing. Massive, and full of positivity.
Well done to the organisers, managing to pull off such a brilliant event.
We saw lots of old friends and made loads of new ones.
See you all next year if not before.

My 15-year-old son refereed his very first game of football today. His first game — and his last.
Will there be a second? No.
In just one match he was shouted at more times than I could keep track of. And I don’t mean the usual “ref, how long?” kind of stuff. I mean full-on screeching, screaming, and being called “stupid,” “thick,” “blind” — and those were the polite words. He was called a cheat. He had expletives thrown at him by grown adults.
Why? Because he gave a throw-in the “wrong” way. Because he didn’t see a foul the way someone else thought he should. Because he dared to make a call that somebody didn’t like.
He’s 15. He’s learning. He’s not perfect — no referee is. But he was fair. He went out there with no bias, no agenda, just a love for the game and a willingness to step up so others could play.
And the abuse broke him. After just one game, he walked off and said, “I’m done.”
So to everyone who shouted, screamed, and tore into him today: don’t dress it up as “passion.” Your “passion” has cost the game a referee. Your “passion” has driven a young lad away after just 90 minutes.
One less referee.

Nothing to see here, just a foreign billionaire openly and explicitly calling for the overthrow of the elected Government of the UK with a Fascist coup d'etat.
Is that where we are? Will there be any political response?
Elon Musk, "There's got to be a change of government in Britain"
"We don't have another four years or whenever your next election is, it's too long, something has got to be done"
"There has got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held"
"You got to appeal to the average, the normal people that just want to go about their business, that are in a village"
"You've got to point out to them if they don't take action, other people are just going to come a maraud them"
"There's genuine risk of rape and murder and the destruction of the country. And dissolution of the entire way of life"
"If you weren't under massive attack then people should go about their business"
"But unfortunately, if the fight comes to you, you don't have a choice, you have to fight, you have to rally all of the people to fight for the future"
"If this doesn't happen there won't be a future"
"You know what I mean"
"If you know what's going to happen to your town and village just visit London and you'll see that it's filled with crime, doesn't feel like Britain at all"
"It's only a matter of time till that happens to towns and villages. It will spread. And no one will have any peace"
Nothing says "defend our borders" and "regain our sovereignty" like a foreign billionaire man baby telling a crowd of football hooligans to violently overthrow the Government.

Cartoons for the Cause was a set of drawings and writings put together by Walter Crane in 1896 to be given out at the International Socialist and Trade Union Congress. We've just recreated it: radicalpostercollective.co.u…
