International Communist Current

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”.

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.

This extraordinary election campaign, spewing out money and saturated with obscenities, just like its conclusion, the victory of a megalomaniac and stupid billionaire, reflects the abyss into which bourgeois society is sinking.

Since last summer, we have witnessed a real escalation of military conflicts, with fighting and massacres intensifying everywhere: Ukraine, Russia, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria.....

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

Following an online ICC discussion meeting on the question of communism, two close sympathisers combined forces to produce this account of the meeting, which we think clearly draws out its principal themes and conclusions.

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

The "International Group of the Communist Left" (IGCL) has been publishing new "revelations" about the ICC's internal life - in sum, information of interest to the police

Gone are the days when, despite the reality of a world dominated by a system of exploitation that is leading humanity more and more explicitly to its doom, the media persisted in spreading a little optimism to lull the exploited to sleep by suggesting reasons to hope for a better capitalist world. 

We continue our series on the “communisation” current by showing how their rejection of proletarian political power is not a “modern” conception but a regression to Bakunin’s anarchism.

Faced with the total impasse in which capitalism finds itself and the failure of all economic "remedies", the bourgeoisie has no choice but to rush forward by means that can only be military.

An examination of the political life of the class enemy.

A report on trials, tribulations and some small gains from an international gathering aimed at opposing imperialist war.  

Andreas Malm, of How to blow up a pipeline fame, has been called the "Lenin of Ecology". But Malm abandons Lenin's call for the destruction of the bourgeois state and falsely claims that its machinery can be used to save us from the ecological crisis.
