ICC international online public meeting

Saturday January 25, 2pm to 5pm UK time

The election of Trump will accelerate capitalism’s decomposition

The discussion will aim to deepen understanding of the concrete perspectives for capitalism and for the working class in the coming period.

The ICC is thus following up the international online public meeting it held in October (see An international debate to understand the global situation and prepare for the future) with a second meeting on the significance of Trump’s victory. The format will be the same as the October meeting, offering translations into English, French and Spanish.

We publish here a letter from a close sympathiser, which we think is a very lucid denunciation of the current campaign about the 'good news' coming from Syria with the fall of the Assad regime - a denunciation based on the ICC's position on the decomposition of capitalism and the slide into military chaos.

On 23 November, the Internationalist Communist tendency (ICT) held a public meeting in Paris on the theme: ‘Faced with the rise of nationalist wars and confrontations, the only perspective is the internationalist class struggle’. In this article we want to briefly underline the crucial points which emerged from the discussion.

Despite the fall of the Assad regime, the fragmentation of the Syrian state will continue, offering little respite from a multi-sided war

A sympathiser sends some critical feedback on the organisation of our international online public meeting held on 16 November, followed by our response

Since last summer, we have witnessed a real escalation of military conflicts, with fighting and massacres intensifying everywhere: Ukraine, Russia, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria.....

On 16 November, the ICC held an Online Public Meeting on the theme ‘The Global Implications of the US Elections’.

Faced with the Valencia floods, capitalism and its state state reveals its profound indifference to human welfare.

Raising taxes ‘for greater tax justice’ and ‘better public services’ is nothing more than a despicable fable peddled by the left to make it easier to accept attacks on the working class

This extraordinary election campaign, spewing out money and saturated with obscenities, just like its conclusion, the victory of a megalomaniac and stupid billionaire, reflects the abyss into which bourgeois society is sinking.

The new phase in the class struggle inaugurated by the strikes in Britain in 2022 continues....

In our view, the CWO's balance sheet of the Prague "anti-war" event fails to draw the most important lessons from it

The main language of the meeting will be English, but we will have facilities to translate on the spot into other languages as well. If you want to take part, write to us at [email protected], indicating if you are happy following and contributing in English, or specifying what other language you would need to use.

We are publishing a response from a close sympathiser to our call for an appeal by the groups of the Communist Left in response to the massive international democratic campaign of the bourgeoisie. We fully support its approach and conclusions.

In Argentina, the government of populist president Milei is launching brutal attacks on workers' living standards, but the right wing of the bourgeoisie is by no means the only enemy of the working class

A response to the some very serious accusations against the ICC in a recent article by the Internationalist Communist Tendency.

The ICC calls on the groups of the Communist Left to issue a common statement against the current ideological campaigns that call on us to choose between the right and left wings of the capitalist political spectrum.

Following an online ICC discussion meeting on the question of communism, two close sympathisers combined forces to produce this account of the meeting, which we think clearly draws out its principal themes and conclusions.

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