International Communist Current

In July, the ICC received a contribution that gives an appreciation of the online meeting on the war in Ukraine and the responsibilities of revolutionaries of 2 July 2022. We wholeheartedly welcome this contribution which gives a very good picture one of the most important disagreements that were raised during this meeting

We analyse the significance of the recent development of workers' militancy in Britain

We publish here a response from an ICC sympathiser in Belgium to the correspondence among groups of the communist left regarding the joint statement on the Ukraine war signed by several groups.  

A new series which develops our critique of the so-called “communisation” tendency and its claims to have gone beyond marxism and the communist left.

An exchange of correspondence between the groups of the communist left regarding the need for a joint statement against the imperialist war in Ukraine.

A denunciation of pro-Ukraine anarchists who are acting like state provocateurs against genuine internationalists in Russia. 

An analysis of the situation of the world working class faced with the war in Ukraine and the acceleration of capitalist decomposition.

A selection of articles, analyses, leaflets and statements on the unfolding inter-imperialist war following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

In the ideological campaigns to justify the slaughter in Ukraine, the “western democracies” are equipped with the most subtle and insidious weapons of propaganda.

It is clear that this war represents a remarkable worsening of the global chaos that directly involves and affects all the major imperialist powers. Editorial introduction to International Review 168 - Summer 2022, digital and printed versions to be published in full soon.

“The riots forced the bourgeois state to openly show its oppressive face”

This article intends to take a closer look at the positions of the News and Letters group in the USA on the violent riots in the second half of the 1960s and to respond to the view, put forward by the International Communist Party (Communist Programme) and Bordiga himself, that “this sudden tearing away of the veil of legal fictions and democratic hypocrisy [is] a harbinger of victory.”

The Texas school massacre can’t be explained as the act of a single “evil” individual, but is a product of a profoundly sick society

The strength of the proletariat lies in its ability to learn from a struggle of over three centuries of historical experience. Ten years on, what lessons can we draw from the Indignados movement? 

In all countries, in all sectors, the working class is facing an unbearable degradation of its living and working conditions. All governments, whether of the right or the left, traditional or populist, are imposing one attack after the other as the world economic crisis goes from bad to worse. How are we to face up to the attacks of the ruling class...?

After a serious setback in the struggle during the first year of the Covid pandemic, workers in Europe, the US and elsewhere are beginning to react to the attacks on wages and working conditions. While the pandemic is peaking at new heights with the appearance of the Omicron variant, workers are facing even more severe attacks on their living standards through rising inflation and increasing energy costs.

We review a recent book published in French, which while offering important scientific insights into the origins of the Covid pandemic, proves to be powerless when it comes to grasping the problem at its roots in the capitalist mode of production.

This dossier contains many of the ICC's articles on the present COVID19 health crisis.

During our French-language online public meeting in November 2021 on "the aggravation of the decomposition of capitalism, its dangers for humanity and the responsibility of the proletariat", several participants questioned the validity of the concept of the decomposition of capitalism, developed and defended by the ICC. Through this article, we wish to continue the debate by elaborating on our answers to the objections expressed during this meeting.
