Why we place Counterfire as Communist / Far-Left
Counterfire is a British revolutionary-socialist organization, and its news site says so. It writes from an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist position and reports movements from the inside, which earns the far-left lens on its stated politics rather than on tone.
