Faced with The Threat of World War, The Working Class Must Respond with The Mass Strike!

This number 24 of our journal has been conceived as a “special issue on class struggle and revolutionary intervention”. In previous issues, we have already intervened on the significance of the imperialist war in Ukraine and the step it represents in the march to the generalized war in which capitalism in crisis is taking us. The new factor in (...)

International Situation

Despite the State and Unions’ Control, a Genuine International Dynamic towards a Proletarian Response to the Crisis and Imperialist War

Workers from across the globe have continued to mobilize. It would be long and tedious to list the proletarian struggles and social revolts of the last few months at the international level. They have touched every region of the world, from China – especially in the province of Guandong – to Iran, Lebanon, South America, Africa, Greece. At the (...)

The Left and Leftists at Work in Iran: The “Charter of Minimum Demands”

The demonstrations and riots that followed the assassination last September of the young Iranian woman by the Islamist police because she was not wearing a veil are presented to us as a particular struggle against the ’dictatorship of the mullahs’ and which would be specific to Iran. However, even if the spark was specifically linked to the (...)

Communique of January 23rd : In France as Elsewhere, Capitalism is Preparing for War by Imposing more and more Sacrifices on Proletarians

The following two communiqués on the proletarian mobilization against the new attack on the pension system in France “stop” at the end of March. However, the movement has continued until today with massive demonstrations on the occasion of May 1st. But, despite the continuing combativeness, the outcome of this class battle is no longer in doubt: (...)

Communique on the Working Class Struggles in France – March 19th 2023

Warning: this communique was written on March 18 and 19 for the internal discussion of the IGCL and to specify its orientations of intervention in the situation of the workers’ struggles in France. It was therefore written before the rejection of the motion of censure [no-confidence vote] of Monday March 20 by the French Parliament. The result (...)

Debate within the Proletarian Camp

France and Great Britain: Workers’ Struggles and Revolutionary Intervention (correspondence)

The rise of workers’ reactions at the international level is the de facto response of the international proletariat to the crisis and to the dynamic towards generalized imperialist war – the Third World War – that capitalism is announcing. It is a real expression of the massive confrontations between the classes that are coming. The crisis and (...)

Continued correspondence with Bilan & Perspectives (ICT): Do Trade Unions Have a “Social Role” vis-à-vis the Proletariat? What Was the Effective Political Action of the Unions in the Strike Wave in the UK?

Following our letter of February 16 with critical observations on secondary points, the comrades of Bilan et Perspectives have sent us a letter. We publish it below. Insofar as it raises other questions to be debated and positions to be confronted that should be of interest to the entire proletarian camp, we are following it with our own (...)

Struggle against Opportunism

Erratic Flight into Activism of The Group Emancipation

Those who have been reading us for some years already know the group Emancipation – originally known as Nuevo Curso. We return to this group today insofar as it has just published an article sanctioning its fall into activism and its undoubtedly definitive distancing from the International Communist Left, which we warned against in 2019 and (...)

History of the Workers Movement Face with Imperialist War

Workers Strikes during The “Good War” of WWII in Canada (Klasbatalo-ICT)

We reproduce below an article of the comrades of the ICT in Canada, the Klasbatalo group, which illustrates the maintenance of the class struggle and the capacity of the proletariat to fight for the defense of its living conditions even during the worst periods of counter-revolution and generalized imperialist war, in this case the Second (...)

Pacifism Ready to Intervene against Workers’ Struggles Faced with Imperialist War

To date, the expressions of pacifism in the face of the imperialist war in Ukraine are still marginal. Certainly, the weakness of proletarian responses – despite a dynamic of reactions and struggles against the deterioration of living conditions, in particular due to inflation – explains this fact. The bourgeoisie has not yet had to use on a (...)
