The 1905 revolution still contains numerous lessons for the class struggle today and in the future, and it is up to all those who recognise the need for a revolutionary struggle against capitalism to discuss and clarify these lessons in the light of subsequent experience
An international leaflet denouncing the spread and intensification of capitalist barbarism. If you agree with it, help us distribute it!
The policy of systematic destruction in Gaza is no exception. Quite the contrary! Far from a ‘world at peace’, the entire history of decadent capitalism shows that society is sinking inexorably into barbarism and that no section of the bourgeoisie is capable of putting an end to it.
We don’t doubt that the impending police “investigation” into Vylan and Kneecap’s Glastonbury sets is yet another expression of the increasingly repressive attitude of the British state.
But we are against the “death to the IDF” slogan because it is counter-revolutionary.
Leaflet written and distributed in the US by a close sympathiser of the ICC.
In the second part of this article, we look at how, over the past century and more, the ideologies of Zionism and anti-Zionism have served to mobilise the exploited and the oppressed behind the needs of imperialism.
In this part of the article, we look at the origins of Zionism as a false response to the rise of anti-Semitism in the late 19th century
Increasingly irrational actions by individuals are the product of an increasingly irrational social system.
The attack on migrants in the US is accompanied by democratic traps set by the bourgeoisie.
On the 80th anniversary of the end of World War 2, we are republishing below two articles from L'Etincelle, the newspaper of the French Fraction of the Communist Left, and an article from our International Review which highlights the crimes of the ‘Great Democracies’.
We welcome the contribution by the comrade who attended our international online public meeting organised in response to the Israeli and US attacks on Iran. We agree with his overall assessment of the meeting and encourage others to respond to his points and make further contributions.
The war-economy and the position of the working class.
This resolution was adopted in early May 2025 by the 26th Congress of the ICC. As such, it can only take into account events and situations prior to that date. This is obviously the case for any position on the international situation, but in the present case it is particularly important to note this because we are currently witnessing a rapid succession of particularly spectacular and unpredictable events of major importance on the three main levels: imperialist tensions, the economic situation of global capitalism and the balance of forces between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.
The clash between India and Pakistan is by no means the first, but it is taking place in a much more dangerous global context
A new article showing why the wars of capitalism’s decomposition can only result in the mutual ruin of the contending belligerents.
A report on the online public meeting of April 28 focused on developments in the international situation, which are particularly serious and complex.
The struggle of retired workers to resist the permanent attacks on their living conditions unleashed by the bourgeois state in the context of the global economic crisis and austerity policies.
The split between the US and Europe is not just a product of Trump's whims, but the culmination of a historical process unfolding since the collapse of the Russian bloc in the early 90s.
Discussion on the impact of populism, along with an assessment of the state of the international class struggle, are issues that rightly concern parts of the proletarian political milieu.
We publish here a contribution of a sympathiser of the ICC about the discussion at the online contact meeting of Sunday 2 March.
A sympathiser sends some critical feedback on the organisation of our international online public meeting held on 16 November, followed by our response.
An article tracing the historical roots of the errors on the national question maintained by the Bordigist groups.
The ICC’s Theses on Decomposition is an essential contribution to understanding the current historical period. In this article we respond to a flawed critique.
In the first part of this article, we showed that the self-styled “Lenin of ecology”, Andreas Malm, is in fact defending a completely bourgeois conception of this question, and in reality serves as an agent of state capitalism, which he aims to propagate to the working class. In this second part, we will show how much his approach is based on a fundamental distortion of the marxist vision of the capitalist mode of production and its relationship with nature.
Hindu nationalists dream of ‘Making India Great Again’ but its efforts towards imperialist expansion are part of the general descent into barbarism.
A dispute arose a few months ago between the two French Trotskyist groups, Révolution Permanente (RP), an offshoot of the NPA (Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste), and Lutte Ouvrière (LO), concerning the Palestinian question. But behind their differences we find the same defence of Palestinian nationalism.
On 23 November, the Internationalist Communist tendency (ICT) held a public meeting in Paris on the theme: ‘Faced with the rise of nationalist wars and confrontations, the only perspective is the internationalist class struggle’. In this article we want to briefly underline the crucial points which emerged from the discussion.
Faced with the Valencia floods, capitalism and its state reveals its profound indifference to human welfare.
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.
We are publishing a response from a close sympathiser to our call for an appeal by the groups of the Communist Left in response to the massive international democratic campaign of the bourgeoisie. We fully support its approach and conclusions.
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
A new article which shows the vital lessons learned from the mass strikes in Russia in 1905, and their relevance to the current revival of workers’ struggles.
A series, first published in 2005 in our International Review, pointing to the most important lessons of the 1905 revolution in Russia.
The ICC fully supports this statement and appeals for its widest possible discussion and distribution.
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 deafening campaign around Trump’s ‘crazy decisions’ and ‘authoritarianism’ is a classic strategy of the bourgeoisie to make people believe that chaos, destruction and massacres are the fault of ‘irresponsible’ or ‘delusional’ individuals (Trump or Putin today; Hitler, Mussolini or Stalin yesterday...) and not the expression of the historical bankruptcy of the capitalist system.
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”.
Should we be surprised by the intensification of war preparations by the Labour Party? No, we should not: since the First World War, this party has a long history of supporting and waging imperialist war.
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
The state of the health service is inadequate for those who need it, while it functions as an integral part of capitalism’s system of exploitation.
The question of 'subterranean maturation'. First of two articles defending our view that the workers' struggles in Britain, France and elsewhere in 2022 marked an important new phase in the class struggle, a "rupture" with decades of retreat.
The background of an undefeated proletariat. Second of two articles defending our view that the workers' struggles in Britain, France and elsewhere in 2022 marked an important new phase in the class struggle, a "rupture" with decades of retreat.
At the end of 1899, Lenin wrote an article entitled ‘On Strikes’, relating to the strikes that were developing at the time in Russia. Although more than a century has passed since this article was written, making it inevitable that some of the ideas it contains are outdated or redundant due to historical development, others not only retain their full validity but are also of definite interest considering the potential dynamic of the class struggle in the current period.
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.
We reply here to the Controversies blog, which has devoted itself to the noble cause of trying to discredit the ICC through lies, slanders and evasions.
Despite some optimistic forecasts by the ruling class, “the capitalist system is well and truly continuing its trajectory into the abyss of a chronic economic crisis, plunging the world further into stagnation and poverty”.
It is with great sorrow that we must inform our readers of the death of our comrade Laurie, at a hospital in Birkenhead where he had been a patient for the best part of a year.
Raising taxes ‘for greater tax justice’ and ‘better public services’ is nothing more than a despicable fable peddled by the left to make it easier to accept attacks on the working class
