The celebrations of VE Day are part of a wider campaign aiming to prepare us for new imperialist wars
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 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.
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.
We are publishing below extracts of a contribution from a close contact in India. We think that his denunciation of the powers waging the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East shows a clear internationalist position and is fundamentally different from the pseudo-internationalism of the leftists.
A sympathiser sends some critical feedback on the organisation of our international online public meeting held on 16 November, followed by our response.
A new article showing why the wars of capitalism’s decomposition can only result in the mutual ruin of the contending belligerents.
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.
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
As wildfires spread in California and floods hit western Europe, where lies the hope for the future of humanity?
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.
How the various factions of the Dutch bourgeoisie instrumentalised the “football riots” in November 2024
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.
On 16 November, the ICC held an Online Public Meeting on the theme ‘The Global Implications of the US Elections’.
In Argentina, the government of populist president Milei is launching brutal attacks on workers' living standards, but the right wing of the bourgeoisie is by no means the only enemy of the working class
A response to the some very serious accusations against the ICC in a recent article by the Internationalist Communist Tendency.
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
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”.
Looking beyond the technical reasons for the blackout to consider the phenomenon in its historical context.
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.
This article explains that “the dangerous chaos and havoc that he [Trump] has unleashed on the world since he took up residence in the White House is not an individual aberration in an otherwise stable system, but the expression of the collapse of the capitalist system as a whole and of its strongest power”.
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.
The current strikes and demonstrations in Belgium are another expression of a process of maturation that has been going on deep inside the world working class.
Leaflet distributed to workers' rallies against the latest austerity plans in Belgium
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.
The Trump presidency is one expression of a decomposing social system - it's the system itself that has to go
Despite the fall of the Assad regime, the fragmentation of the Syrian state will continue, offering little respite from a multi-sided war
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.
We publish here a letter from a close sympathiser, which we think is a very lucid denunciation of the current campaign about the 'good news' coming from Syria with the fall of the Assad regime - a denunciation based on the ICC's position on the decomposition of capitalism and the slide into military chaos.
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
Starmer talks about the "hard choices" ahead. But the Labour Party can never chose any course but the defence of capitalism
A defence of the presence and intervention of the communist left at a gathering of elements seeking to oppose all imperialist wars
This article exposes the lie that a "revolution" has taken place in Bangladesh
