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:

International Communist Bulletin 11 (November 2013)

• Editorial of the bulletin 11

The IC-Klasbatalo and our Fraction, we are on the way to adopting a ‘platform’ with main positions close to those of both the ICT and the “historical” ICC. We continue to discuss and clarify the questions of organization and functioning based on the Communist Left, especially the tradition of the “Italian” Left...

 

 

Intervention in the Working Struggle

 

• Communist Intervention and Evolution of the Class Struggle

The great masses of workers seeing that their minorities or more militant sectors hesitate at the sheer scale of the task, of the necessity to avoid the democratic traps and erroneous approaches – such of the "indignados" or "Occupy" ideology for instance – this indicates, above all,the concrete, practical, necessity to take up the political fight against capitalism's forces, in the first place from the unions who pretend to be "workers", in the struggle.

 

• Statement of the Internationalist Communist Tendency about the Port-Said Events (March 2013)

Any bourgeois government can wait. It can wait until the anger is exhausted in some act of protest, however powerful and violent, and then take back by force the situation that previously got out of hand. The manoeuvre is much simpler and more effective if the uprising is isolated, if it concerns only a sector of production or a geographically small area...

 

• Greece, Turkey, France, Spain ...
  The workers' response must be international and united!

That is why we must rid ourselves of the union-imposed framework, and take our struggle into our own hands. We must not accept that every mobilization remain in its particular “corner” in its “own” region or its “own” country. To remain isolated, separated from other sections of the working class, poses the best prospect for the bourgeoisie to continue to maintain control of the situation, for it to successfully wage more attacks against our lives, forcing us to sacrifice more and more, ultimately sacrificing our lives in the inevitable war.

As the economic crisis deepens, the bourgeoisie and its instruments of repression are consolidating...

 

• An Irrational Accommodation: Capitalism

The capitalist class has only one aim in mind: to prevent the proletariat from affirming its solidarity and its unity as an international working class. While making believe that the Québécois proletariat would have something to safeguard, to defend against all immigrants from Arab countries or elsewhere, all this media hoopla endeavors to do is to make them believe that the immigrant situation is separate from the working class, from the misery of its own condition as an exploited class...

 

 

Struggle against Opportunism
[The two articles of this section are not translated into English. We refer our readers to the French version]

 

• On the Imperialist Rivalries in Syria and the Giving up of the Marxist Principles by the ICC (Correspondance of the) Explorateurs en lendemains...)

And the ICC is walking in the footsteps of the bourgeois press. After having anaesthetized the proletarians with the light-hearted song about the impossibility of a new world war, the ICC ends up putting them to sleep with the lullaby on democracy and public opinion...

 

• Our Response to the Explorateurs en lendemains...

We have received and discussed your statement on Syria. Even though we don't share the analysis of the dinamic of the imperialist rivalries that you present in your text, we fully support the defence of the principles of the communist movement that you make against their challenge - in general - and their liquidation - in particular - by the present ICC in the name of the theory of "Decomposition"...

• Rosa Luxemburg : Her Fight Against the German Betrayers of International Socialism (Preface to the Junius Pamphlet)
  Clara Zetkin (1919)

The Junius Pamphlet is a particularly sparkling treasure of the heritage which Rosa Luxemburg has left the proletariat of Germany, of the world, for the theory and practice of its struggle for liberation...
