The discussion at this international public meeting showed that it is extremely important for revolutionaries to have a clear grasp of the phenomenon of populism (and the rise of the far right). The debate gave rise to different interpretations of the populist phenomenon and its significance. We are publishing here two contributions from close sympathisers, which provide a clear defence of the ICC’s analysis of the phenomenon.

A defence of the presence and intervention of the communist left at a gathering of elements seeking to oppose all imperialist wars

Gone are the days when, despite the reality of a world dominated by a system of exploitation that is leading humanity more and more explicitly to its doom, the media persisted in spreading a little optimism to lull the exploited to sleep by suggesting reasons to hope for a better capitalist world. 

We continue our series on the “communisation” current by showing how their rejection of proletarian political power is not a “modern” conception but a regression to Bakunin’s anarchism.

We are publishing this contribution by a close sympathiser who was moved to write it in response to the barrage of bourgeois propaganda about the racist riots in Britain and the response by the main factions of the ruling class. We fully endorse its clear denunciation of this ideological attack, as well as the article's exposure of the true "record" of capitalism when it comes to the mass killing of children.

The issue posed by the racist riots in Britain is not fascism versus democracy but the need for working class unity against capitalism as a whole

Faced with the total impasse in which capitalism finds itself and the failure of all economic "remedies", the bourgeoisie has no choice but to rush forward by means that can only be military.
