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.
After Senegal and South Africa, in a new series, we present a history of the workers' movement in Egypt. This new contribution pursues the same main aim as the previous ones: to provide evidence of the living reality of the history of the African labour movement through its struggles against the bourgeoisie.
A new article showing why the wars of capitalism’s decomposition can only result in the mutual ruin of the contending belligerents.
To this very day, the Italian Communist Left (‘sinistra italiana’) is still unknown — and is even misrepresented — in the very countries where it emerged and to which it spread through the immigration of its militants.
In the last issue of the Bulletin d’Information de la Fraction de Gauche Italienne (February 1933), Vercesi wrote: “...the victory of fascism in Germany marks a break in the revolutionary course which appeared in 1917, and which could have ended in the triumph of the world proletariat. This victory also marks a turning towards the capitalist outcome of the present situation: towards war.”
The period between 1936 and 1939 was marked by the definitive consolidation of military preparations, and by the extension of conflicts in Asia and Europe. Even more than the Sino-Japanese conflict, the war in Spain was to serve as a testing ground for the latest weapons - the weapons that were to be used in the World War 2.
