The working class has everything to lose in letting itself be swept up in a wave of popular protests, blinded by democratic illusions about the possibility of a ‘cleaner’ capitalist state.

The class confrontations currently shaking Belgium are illustrative of the context in which workers' struggles will develop in the current period, with attacks coming from all sides due to the acceleration of the economic crisis, interacting in a whirlwind with the expansion of militarism and the spread of chaos.

On the importance of Congresses in the history of the workers' movement, and of this ICC Congress which marks the 50th anniversary of our organisation. 

In this article we explain why the greatest danger facing the working class and humanity is not the formation of two new imperialist blocs and a disciplined march towards world war, but rather a ‘world of wars’ spiralling out of the bourgeoisie’s control.

Far from being able to fulfil its false promises about peace, capitalism in decay is war without end.

We publish extracts from the report on the world economic crisis from the ICC’s 26th Congress, with a new introduction.

It is important for revolutionaries to patiently explain to workers that pacifism is a trap, just like support for international law or the defence of democracy against populism.

Trump is the most dramatic expression of a universal populist political trend that has been gaining ground in the period of decomposition, at the expense of liberal democracy.

The Trump regime is an expression of a more global loss of political control by the ruling class.

The situation in Britain shows the two poles at work in the world situation: the acceleration of capitalist decomposition, and the struggles of workers in defence of their class interests.

Our organisation, the International Communist Current, was founded in January 1975, just over half a century ago. Since then, the world has undergone major upheavals, and it is our responsibility to present the proletariat with an assessment of this period in order to determine what future lies in store for humanity.

What is the policy of the working class, the only force capable of overthrowing the present moribund social system, towards recent mass protest movements?

The growing chaos of bourgeois political life has to be understood in its historical context: the accelerating decay of the capitalist mode of production.

Against the brutal attacks of French capitalism, workers are asking how to take up the struggle.

Our reply to the Bordigist group Le Prolétaire over the growing inability of the ruling class to control its political game.

We welcome the contribution of the comrade on the June international public meeting of the ICC on the significance of the election of Trump in the USA. After Baboon's letter (Reflections on the ICC international online public meeting, 28.6.25) this is the second contribution by a close contact of the ICC. 

Is the radical image of the current Spanish government justified? Absolutely not!

A combative working class faces the danger of being dissolved in a 'popular' movement. As well as writing this article, our comrades in France have distributed this leaflet at the various mobilisations on 10 September: Journée d’action du 10 septembre : Peut-on changer le monde en “bloquant tout”? (Tract)

 In its terminal stage, capitalism cannot help spewing out irrational ideologies which look for scapegoats to blame, while it is this vey social system which is responsible for the economic crisis, local wars and ecological destruction which are forcing millions to flee their place of origin in search of  a more tolerable living conditions.

Revolutionaries are against all national flags. Not only the flags of the most powerful imperialist states, but also the flags of the ‘oppressed nations’.
