How to Resist and Halt the Drive Toward Generalized Imperialist War?

On the one hand, global capitalism is accelerating its march toward generalized imperialist war. The war in Iran and throughout the Middle East launched by American capitalism is a particularly significant moment in this process. On the other hand, the widespread attacks on living and working conditions—already severe and constant since at (...)

Wave of Working Class Struggles in India in Face of the Economic Consequences of the War in Iran

“Industrial unrest has erupted in Noida, one of Asia’s largest planned industrial hubs, as workers across thousands of units protest over minimum wage concerns, with violence reported in parts of the electronic city.

Strike of the “Blue Collar” Workers of Montreal in Canada

The militancy of the working class in Canada, which we noted in the previous issue [5], shows no signs of abating. The overall control exercised by the unions—and, behind them, the entire bourgeois state apparatus—over these workers’ struggles is just as real. This control severely limits the “political” efficiency of these class struggles in terms (...)

Communique on the US attack on Venezuela (January 4, 2026)

“This is America First. This is peace through strength. Welcome to 2026.” (Pete Hegseth at Trump’s press conference of January 3) The US attacks on Venezuela January and its president Maduro’s kidnapping the night of January 3 mark a new stage in the race toward widespread imperialist war. No one can really doubt that. “American dominance in (...)

Communique on the War in Iran and Lebanon (March 6th 2026)

The brutal American and Israeli attack on Iran and Lebanon is nothing more than a new moment, or step, in the dynamic that is leading the capitalist world toward generalized imperialist war. For the moment, there is no particular event which would indicate even a pause in this deadly dynamic. After the massacre of Palestinians, terror is now (...)

The Wheels are Coming off the American Imperial Wagon

There can be no doubt that Trump’s election in 2024 was a decisive action by the American bourgeoisie to move the United States into a more aggressive posture both at home and abroad. His election corresponded to the inability of Biden policy to address the growing difficulties and decline of US capitalism and imperialism relative to China and (...)

“Progressive Book Club” in Canada and our Intervention

Debate within the Proletarian Camp

Report of the GRI (ICT) Public Meeting in Paris – March 7th 2026

The Internationalist Revolutionary Group (GRI), the ICT’s affiliate in France, organized a public meeting on the theme of “the international situation, marked by rising tensions toward war, the remilitarization of economies, the strengthening of U.S. imperialism (Greenland, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba…), and the historic crisis of capital’s (...)

On Proletarian Economic Demands and Political Struggle

According to the prevailing view in the proletarian camp, the workers’ economic and political struggles are separate and the prerequisite for a proletarian victory is a qualitative leap from the economic to the political level. For some, this qualitative leap requires a shift in consciousness or development of class identity to move from (...)

Contribution on “The Workers’ Councils and the Class Party”

Below we reproduce a contribution on “workers’ councils and the class party.” It was published in French on the Controverses website last January. Its primary value lies in the fact that it seeks to establish and clarify the relationship between the party and the councils, while rejecting “party substitutionism” and the fetishism of organization of (...)

Contribution “The Workers’ Councils and the Class Party”:Or How Councilism is Kicked out the Front Door only to Come back in through the Window

The text Workers’ Councils and the Class Party falls within the framework of the Communist Left and more specifically the “class frontiers” shared by the ICT, the ICC, the IGCL, and even other groups or circles. It is therefore within this framework that it matters to state on this individual contribution. Beyond the simple fact that it provides (...)

History of the Workers Movement

Lenin - Luxemburg – Liebknecht (Bilan n°39 - January-February 1937)

We consider it particularly useful to republish this 1937 text by the Italian Fraction of the Communist Left at a time when everything indicates that capitalism is seeking to drag humanity into a third imperialist world war. We never tire of repeating: the key to the historical situation lies in the ability of the international proletariat as (...)
