Capitalist War and Crisis as Factors of the Class Struggle
The war in Ukraine is becoming more and more entrenched. It continues in an escalation of massive destruction and massacres.

International Situation
Workers’ Struggles and Revolutionaries’ Intervention
Since last spring, in connection not only with the crisis but also with the war in Ukraine and its consequences, direct or indirect, on the living conditions of the international proletariat, a dynamic of resumption of workers’ struggles tends, albeit slowly, to assert itself and to develop.

Impasse and Contradictions of the ICC in Front of the So-called “parasitism”, the ICT and the IGCL
The politically responsible and fraternal attitude of the ICC delegation at the NWBCW committee meeting in Paris – which we welcome – may have been surprising.

Fight against the Introduction of Anarchism in the Proletarian Camp
The Non-Proletarian Class Character of the Makhno Movement In the proletarian camp in general, there has often been a confusion about the nature of the Anarchist movement especially the Makhnovist movement.
