The struggle of retired workers to resist the permanent attacks on their living conditions unleashed by the bourgeois state in the context of the global economic crisis and austerity policies. 

A trade union offensive aims to fragment workers struggles, with new attacks on the horizon.

The deafening campaign around Trump’s ‘crazy decisions’ and ‘authoritarianism’ is a classic strategy of the bourgeoisie to make people believe that chaos, destruction and massacres are the fault of ‘irresponsible’ or ‘delusional’ individuals (Trump or Putin today; Hitler, Mussolini or Stalin yesterday...) and not the expression of the historical bankruptcy of the capitalist system.

The obstacles facing the search for clarity on how to fight capitalism's wars

The split between the US and Europe is not just a product of Trump's whims, but the culmination of a historical process unfolding since the collapse of the Russian bloc in the early 90s. 

The war-economy and the position of the working class.

For a more developed critique of the various radical ecologist theories, see our recent articles:

The only solution to the infernal spiral of ecological and military destruction is to overthrow capitalism and move towards communism. But the bourgeoisie will never accept the end of its system, the end of its privileges, the end of its existence as a dominant and exploiting class. It will try to maintain its obsolete system at all costs. Only a world revolution can put an end to this agony. For all those who are concerned about the state of the planet and the fate of humanity, the essential question is: what social force is capable of bringing about revolution?

Because it is a society without classes and exploitation, without nations or wars, communism is the only real solution to the ecological crisis.

In 1972, the Earth Summit, the first major international conference on the environment, was held in Stockholm, Sweden. Under the aegis of the United Nations, the 113 states present made a commitment to combat pollution. A declaration of 26 principles, an action plan with 109 recommendations and the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) were adopted.

Since 1914, war has become a permanent feature on all continents. Two hundred conflicts, two hundred million deaths, two cities flattened by atomic bombs! Napalm, chemical and bacteriological weapons, cluster bombs, killer drones... the latest technology at the service of barbarity.

The state of the planet is catastrophic. The climate is warming faster than any scientific forecast, causing fires, droughts, storms, floods... The oceans are acidifying, and with them the rainfall; vegetation under water or on land is suffering the disastrous consequences. Worldwide deforestation is breaking records every year, and asphalt is covering more and more land. Pollution contaminates everything: greenhouse gases, pesticides in the soil, plastic particles in the seas, pharmaceutical molecules in rivers.... to the point where fish doped with oestrogen are changing sex!

Discussion on the impact of populism, along with an assessment of the state of the international class struggle, are issues that rightly concern parts of the proletarian political milieu.

The state of the health service is inadequate for those who need it, while it functions as an integral part of capitalism’s system of exploitation.

We publish here a contribution of a sympathiser of the ICC about the discussion at the online contact meeting of Sunday 2 March.

An article tracing the historical roots of the errors on the national question maintained by the Bordigist groups. 

The televised humiliation of Zelensky in the White House has thrown in the face of the world the images of a major historical upheaval, what the media have called “the great reversal of alliances”.

The ICC’s Theses on Decomposition is an essential contribution to understanding the current historical period. In this article we respond to a flawed critique.
