A letter to our supporters:

Dear Friends,

I am writing to inform you that the majority of the founders of Red Ant have decided to pursue the original project under a new name, Red Spark.

2024 was a successful year for the Red Ant Collective. After the tour of respected international socialist Vijay Prashad, the collective saw a rapid influx of new members. With this influx came many new ideas, some of which were significantly different from those Red Ant had been pursuing over the previous years.

At the December 2024 Red Ant Conference, it became clear that these significant differences were irreconcilable. The founders of Red Ant have decided that rather than continue with a destructive debate, it would be best to continue Red Ant as a new project: Red Spark.

Red Spark remains committed to the same ideas that Red Ant was founded on. We are resolutely anti-imperialist, socialist, and intent on moving toward a more organised political group inspired by the ideas of those from the Marxist and Leninist traditions.

We hope you’ll continue supporting the Red Spark project, just as you supported the Red Ant before it. We invite you to continue subscribing to our regular Red Spark newsletter, which will keep you informed about all our upcoming projects.

We look forward to seeing you at our future events.

Yours Truly,

Max Lane, National Chairperson of Red Spark, on behalf of the collective.
