International Communist Current

We publish extracts from the report on the world economic crisis from the ICC’s 26th Congress, with a new introduction.

It is important for revolutionaries to patiently explain to workers that pacifism is a trap, just like support for international law or the defence of democracy against populism.

The situation in Britain shows the two poles at work in the world situation: the acceleration of capitalist decomposition, and the struggles of workers in defence of their class interests.

Is the radical image of the current Spanish government justified? Absolutely not!

 In its terminal stage, capitalism cannot help spewing out irrational ideologies which look for scapegoats to blame, while it is this vey social system which is responsible for the economic crisis, local wars and ecological destruction which are forcing millions to flee their place of origin in search of  a more tolerable living conditions.

A combative working class faces the danger of being dissolved in a 'popular' movement. As well as writing this article, our comrades in France have distributed this leaflet at the various mobilisations on 10 September: Journée d’action du 10 septembre : Peut-on changer le monde en “bloquant tout”? (September 10th Day of Action: Can We Change the World by “Blocking Everything?")

Even when the ruling class admits some of the truth about the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it's only to conceal a deeper reality: that capitalism itself is responsible for such horrors.

We are publishing here correspondence between the ICC and a comrade who has written to us from the Netherlands. We welcome his letter and especially the initiative to share his disagreements on an essential political question: the relationship between fascism, populism and democracy.

A war illustrating the new "scramble for Africa" which can only bring chaos and misery for the populations of the whole region.

St Petersburg Soviet, 1905

A  series, first published in 2005 in our International Review, pointing to the most important lessons of the 1905 revolution in Russia.

Below we publish the report on the class struggle presented at the 26th Congress of the ICC. This document, written in December 2024, does not take into account the events that occurred in 2025 (Trump's return to the White House, massive struggles in Belgium, etc.), but the validity of the perspectives outlined remains. This report develops important elements of analysis on what the ICC calls the “rupture” in the dynamic of the class struggle and on the impact of decomposition on the working class.

We aim to draw out the most important issues posed by the discussion at our international meeting at the end of June

We are publishing two contributions from participants in our 5 April 2025 international online public meeting of the ICC, and on the April 26 meeting in London on the same question, on tensions within the American bourgeoisie, both of which aim to continue and deepen the debate initiated at the meetings.

Trump's self-defeating economic policies are a product of the complete dead-end of world capitalism.

The televised humiliation of Zelensky in the White House has thrown in the face of the world the images of a major historical upheaval, what the media have called “the great reversal of alliances”.

A newly-published Manifesto looking at various aspects of the worsening ecological crisis, their root causes, capitalism's inability to do anything but make matters worse and the only solution available to humanity - the communist revolution: what it is, what it is not and which social force can enact it.

Recent demonstrations in South Korea, Serbia, Turkey and elsewhere are a sign of political and social crises but it is important to analyse the real political source of these movements.

A trade union offensive aims to fragment workers struggles, with new attacks on the horizon.

The obstacles facing the search for clarity on how to fight capitalism's wars

After Senegal and South Africa, in a new series, we present a history of the workers' movement in Egypt. This new contribution pursues the same main aim as the previous ones: to provide evidence of the living reality of the history of the African labour movement through its struggles against the bourgeoisie.
