Andreas Malm, of How to blow up a pipeline fame, has been called the "Lenin of Ecology". But Malm abandons Lenin's call for the destruction of the bourgeois state and falsely claims that its machinery can be used to saved us from the ecological crisis. 

This report bases its assessment of the current severity of the economic crisis on the achievements of marxism and the elements of its evolution since the late 1960s, as set out in various ICC publications.

We are publishing two letters sent to us by close sympathisers who took part in an ICC meeting with US contacts, focused on the upcoming US elections and the growing divisions within the US ruling class

The rise of populism is a pure expression of the decomposition of capitalism - but the bourgeoisie can still use its own decay against the working class

An examination of the political life of the class enemy.

When workers are looking for revolutionary clarity they will come across currents masquerading as 'communist' that are actually driven by the needs of capital.

In Britain, as in France, the EU and soon in the USA, the electoral circus is again in full swing. We will be publishing various articles analysing the implications of these and other elections as expressions of the bourgeoise’s growing loss of control over its political machinery. But first we want to reaffirm the basic class position developed in particular by the Communist Left since capitalism entered its epoch of decline in the early years of the 20th century: that contrary to the propaganda of the ruling class, neither elections nor parliament can prevent the headlong rush of this system towards economic crisis, war and self-destruction.

A report on trials, tribulations and some small gains from an international gathering aimed at opposing imperialist war.  

The refusal to work together with other groups of the Communist Left defending the historic principles of this current in favour of collaboration with the forces of the "marsh" (the confused zone between proletarian positions and those of the left of the bourgeoisie) has a name: opportunism. 

Although the majority of those taking part in the demonstrations against Israel's assault on Gaza are motivated by real feelings of indignation, they are caught in the trap of nationalism, and thus support for imperialist war. 

With this issue, the ICC has now published four hundred issues of World Revolution. The first issue came out in May 1974, so the publication has been going for fifty years.

In Haiti, as well as in an increasing number of other countries in Latin America, the decomposition of this system takes the form of the merger between the state and criminal gangs 

The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, the terrorist attacks in Russia, uncertainty about the US presidential elections are all signs of the growing destabilisation of the capitalist world system

With the growing conflict between Guyana and Venezuela, and the recent storming of Mexico's embassy by Ecuadorian police in Quito, it's clear that national and imperialist rivalries are spreading in South America as well as other regions of the world

Continuation of a debate within the ICC about the growing drive to war, its nature in the phase of decomposition, and the state of the class struggle.

The ruling class in the west wants the exploited to accept austerity and war preparations in the name of " national defence"

The ICC welcomes the rapid reaction by Internationalist Voice to the escalation of the war in the Middle East: analysing the attacks between Israel-Iran and putting forward an unswerving denunciation of the Israeli and Iranian bourgeoisies. 

IInd Congress of the ICC

We must take into account the impossibility of arriving at a transitional phase with notions that are fixed, complete, which don't allow any logical contradiction and which exclude any idea of transition.[1]

A) The period of transition from
capitalism to communism

The platform of the ICC contains the essential acquisitions of the workers' movement concerning the conditions and content of the communist revolution. These acquisitions can be summarised as follows:

Some of our recent discussions seem to have lost track of the aim of this whole debate. With all the different exegeses on "gentile" society, the dissertations on absolute monarchy and the scholastic war of quotes back and forth, we risk losing sight of the fact that the ICC did not embark on these discussions to show off our reading notes or to rival academic treatises on “the state”. We are trying to shed some light on questions which will become extremely urgent and tangible in a moment of revolution and we do this from a direct commitment to the revolutionary process.
