Starmer talks about the "hard choices" ahead. But the Labour Party can never chose any course but the defence of capitalism

Following the international online meeting on the significance of the rise of populism, a close sympathiser sent us this contribution on the role of the New Popular Front in the France

A brief report on an international online meeting about the rise of populism and the problems it is creating for the bourgeoisie as a whole

The recent report of the inquiry commission does not point to the capitalist system, but to the companies, institutions, managements directly or indirectly involved in the refurbishment of the Grenfell building. But it is not enough to blame particular actors, we have to dig deeper.

This article exposes the lie that a "revolution" has taken place in Bangladesh

The bourgeoisie tries to use the racist riots in Britain and elsewhere to reinforce illusions in 'democracy'

Wars, terrorism, pandemics, climate change, insecurity, famine... Not a day goes by without a new catastrophe, without a new massacre. Every region of the world, even within the most powerful countries, is affected by this immense global chaos. 

This summer, murderous tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East escalated in a destructive spiral whose outcome could not be clearer: nothing profitable will ever come out of these wars for any of the belligerents.

The discussion at this international public meeting showed that it is extremely important for revolutionaries to have a clear grasp of the phenomenon of populism (and the rise of the far right). The debate gave rise to different interpretations of the populist phenomenon and its significance. We are publishing here two contributions from close sympathisers, which provide a clear defence of the ICC’s analysis of the phenomenon.

A defence of the presence and intervention of the communist left at a gathering of elements seeking to oppose all imperialist wars

Gone are the days when, despite the reality of a world dominated by a system of exploitation that is leading humanity more and more explicitly to its doom, the media persisted in spreading a little optimism to lull the exploited to sleep by suggesting reasons to hope for a better capitalist world. 

We continue our series on the “communisation” current by showing how their rejection of proletarian political power is not a “modern” conception but a regression to Bakunin’s anarchism.

We are publishing this contribution by a close sympathiser who was moved to write it in response to the barrage of bourgeois propaganda about the racist riots in Britain and the response by the main factions of the ruling class. We fully endorse its clear denunciation of this ideological attack, as well as the article's exposure of the true "record" of capitalism when it comes to the mass killing of children.

The issue posed by the racist riots in Britain is not fascism versus democracy but the need for working class unity against capitalism as a whole

Faced with the total impasse in which capitalism finds itself and the failure of all economic "remedies", the bourgeoisie has no choice but to rush forward by means that can only be military.

With the presidential race in the United States and the European elections, the various bourgeois factions in the state apparatus have developed a vast ideological campaign in defence of democracy and its institutions, "threatened" by the rise of populism.
