A response to the some very serious accusations against the ICC in a recent article by the Internationalist Communist Tendency.

The ICC calls on the groups of the Communist Left to issue a common statement against the current ideological campaigns that call on us to choose between the right and left wings of the capitalist political spectrum.

Following an online ICC discussion meeting on the question of communism, two close sympathisers combined forces to produce this account of the meeting, which we think clearly draws out its principal themes and conclusions.

Following the international online meeting on the significance of the rise of populism, a close sympathiser sent us this contribution on the role of the New Popular Front in the France

A brief report on an international online meeting about the rise of populism and the problems it is creating for the bourgeoisie as a whole

The recent report of the inquiry commission does not point to the capitalist system, but to the companies, institutions, managements directly or indirectly involved in the refurbishment of the Grenfell building. But it is not enough to blame particular actors, we have to dig deeper.

The bourgeoisie tries to use the racist riots in Britain and elsewhere to reinforce illusions in 'democracy'

Wars, terrorism, pandemics, climate change, insecurity, famine... Not a day goes by without a new catastrophe, without a new massacre. Every region of the world, even within the most powerful countries, is affected by this immense global chaos. 

This summer, murderous tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East escalated in a destructive spiral whose outcome could not be clearer: nothing profitable will ever come out of these wars for any of the belligerents.

The discussion at this international public meeting showed that it is extremely important for revolutionaries to have a clear grasp of the phenomenon of populism (and the rise of the far right). The debate gave rise to different interpretations of the populist phenomenon and its significance. We are publishing here two contributions from close sympathisers, which provide a clear defence of the ICC’s analysis of the phenomenon.

A defence of the presence and intervention of the communist left at a gathering of elements seeking to oppose all imperialist wars

Gone are the days when, despite the reality of a world dominated by a system of exploitation that is leading humanity more and more explicitly to its doom, the media persisted in spreading a little optimism to lull the exploited to sleep by suggesting reasons to hope for a better capitalist world. 

We continue our series on the “communisation” current by showing how their rejection of proletarian political power is not a “modern” conception but a regression to Bakunin’s anarchism.
