Coming from a split which occurred in 2009 within the IFICC, our group carries on fully defending the fundamental political positions and orientations of that one, in particular - and beyond the intervention that, as communists, we have to lead towards our class : :

- the struggle against opportunism which, today, threats and even sometimes strongly weakens the "Communist Left", as it is the case for the present ICC;

- the essential struggle for the regroupment which is vital for the proletariat and its revolutionary perspective, of the "Communist Left" forces.

Our present bulletin totally takes back and continues the practical political work already undertaken in the Bulletin of the IFICC.

New website since 2014:

Journal of the International Group of the Communist Left

Revolution or War is the journal of the International Group of the Communist Left (IGLC).

It is the result of the fusion of CIK- Klabastalo and FICL. Our unity is based on the following main points:

Editorial

 

• Presentation of the Bulletin 39 in English

One danger and one objective of the liquidation of the ICC is that the caricatural, and often ridiculous, aspects of its new positions diverts and makes forget the discussion of the real and historical positions of this political current. What ever one can consider the correctness of these positions, they have to be part of the political confrontation within what we call the proletarian camp. Otherwise, many crucial theoretical and political questions won't be clarified before the historical class confrontations of tomorrow and the international Communist Party will be weakened.

 

• No to the electoral circus and to democratic illusions !

 

CLASS STRUGGLE

 

• Disunited struggles play into bourgeoisie hand

In several countries, the working class anger takes the form of open struggles, of more or less massive strikes, more or less spread. There would be a lot to say about the weaknesses of these movements, their dispersion and the still strong confidence, among the workers, towards the established saboteurs of the struggle that are the trade unions. Weaknesses which, in comparison with the stakes and the determination with which the bourgeoisie conducts its attacks, testify of the still long way to cover before a significant relation of forces can be drawn up ... In spite of that, the reality of these recent expressions of combativeness and of struggles is quite present and must be clearly brought out.

 

DEBATE WITHIN THE PROLETARIAN CAMP

 

• Proletarian Morality, Classes Struggle and Revisionism (Part; 2)
  (Contribution to the debate of the present ICC on ethics and marxism)

The ICC Text of Orientation clearly constitutes an attempt to introduce bourgeois and petty-bourgeois ideologies not only within the ICC but above all within the whole proletarian camp ; this attempt is even more dangerous since the liquidators of the ICC make it cynically pass for "proletarian morality" and for "marxism" while they perfectly know that it's an attack against the foundations of the revolutionary theory of the proletariat.
