ICC international online public meeting on the ecological crisis

The ICC has recently published a Manifesto on the ecological crisis, responding to the question “Is it possible to stop the destruction of the planet” from the point of view of the working class and the future of humanity. All the ‘solutions’ to the ecological crisis proposed by the ruling class are futile... 

Capitalism is a system based on the exploitation of both the working class and of nature. From its beginning it has based itself on ravaging and destroying the natural environment, but today it is showing that its very survival is incompatible with the survival of humanity and of nature. Capitalism has been an obsolete, decadent form of society for over a hundred years. This long decline has now reached a terminal phase, a dead-end in which war, crises of overproduction and ecological destruction are acting on each other to produce a terrible whirlwind of destruction. But there is an alternative to the nightmare being realised by capitalism: the international struggle of the exploited class for the overthrow of capitalism and the construction of a communist society.

To discuss these important issues we are holding an international online public meeting on Saturday 21 June at 14:00-17:00 (BST). To participate in this meeting contact [email protected].

The Manifesto has been produced in paper format for distribution at meetings and demonstrations. It can also be found at ICC Online: Manifesto on the ecological crisis.
