A report by a close sympathiser who spoke on behalf of the ICC at a recent online meeting of the Anarchist Communist Group and put forward the position of the Communist Left that what happened in Spain was not a proletarian revolution but an imperialist war, a 'rehearsal' for World War Two

We are featuring this article written in 2006 which retains all its relevance today, when workers are once again being called on to sacrifice their class interests in order to defend democracy against populism, autocracy or 'fascism'.

The prospects offered by the world situation are everywhere creating a deep sense of anxiety. But the solution nowhere lies in changing this or that leader or party...

Indignation against the massacres in Gaza is being manipulated by the bourgeoisie, especially is left wing

The ICC considered it important to mark the 120th anniversary of this historic moment in the movement of the working class by holding an online public meeting in English (together with similar meetings in other languages), aimed at showing its relevance to the class struggle today.
