International Communist Current

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’.

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. 

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
