Anarchism and the mystification of the “Spanish Revolution”

A report by a close sympathiser who spoke on behalf of the ICC at a recent online meeting of the Anarchist Communist Group and put forward the position of the Communist Left that what happened in Spain was not a proletarian revolution but an imperialist war, a 'rehearsal' for World War Two

On the ICC meeting of 30/05/26 on Spain 1936

The Belfast pogrom is a product of rotting capitalism

The savage attacks against immigrants in Belfast are not isolated, but the product of a decomposing social order. The class struggle is the only antidote to the growth of racism and the 'anti-racism' peddled by the liberal and left wing factions of capitalism.

A “turning point” in militarisation – and for the class struggle

The war in the Middle East plunges the capitalist economy into chaos

The crisis surrounding the Strait of Hormuz reveals the historical impasse into which capitalism is dragging all of humanity. The war that has been raging in the Middle East since February 2026 is part of a dynamic of accelerated collapse of the global capitalist order, a dynamic in which every manifestation of the decomposition of the capitalist system (uncontrollable wars, environmental crises, populism, etc.) has repercussions on all other fronts, including the economic sphere.

Workers continue to fight, despite the obstacles raised by trade unions and decomposing capitalism

Current struggles of the working class in Britain are primarily driven by a profound fall in purchasing power (inflation devaluing wages) plus an increase in the rate of exploitation (fewer workers taking on more responsibilities and tasks over longer hours). Despite their modest size and impact on national life, they are still in continuity with the much larger-scale movements of the class in Great Britain in the summer of 2022 and the winter 2023, which reverberated around the globe.

How can we change the world?

Everywhere, in every country, the bourgeoisie calls for sacrifices, and offers ‘peace’ and ‘democracy’ as part of the mobilisation for war. Only workers' struggle offers an alternative.

Die Büchse der Pandora einer im Verfall begriffenen Produktionsweise

Der Krieg breitet sich über den gesamten Planeten aus und entlarvt die Staats- und Regierungschefs dieser Welt als Lügner, die die Medien mit leeren Friedensversprechen überschütten. Der Angriff der USA und Israels auf den Iran und den Libanon sowie die Gegenangriffe des Irans und seiner Stellvertreter auf Israel und die Golfstaaten haben den gesamten Nahen Osten in Brand gesetzt.

Blickt man weiter nach Osten, sieht man Zusammenstöße zwischen Afghanistan und Pakistan, zwischen Pakistan...

«Antiimperialismo» y defensa de la «soberanía nacional», trampas contra el proletariado

A la par del desarrollo de las tensiones imperialistas y la extensión del ambiente guerrero, la burguesía lleva a cabo campañas nacionalistas con las que busca confundir y desviar la atención de los trabajadores, envolviéndolos en el apoyo o la defensa de alguno de los Estados en pugna. En ese sentido, en los Estados Unidos, desde el “movimiento MAGA”, se pretende justificar mediante el nacionalismo la política racista y belicosa de Trump. Desde el bando “opositor”, esa misma campaña chauvinista se presenta, pero revestida con un discurso anti-Trump y antiimperialista....

El derrumbe del basurero de Cebú (Filipinas): el culpable es el capitalismo en descomposición

El 8 de enero de 2026, una montaña de desperdicios se derrumbó en Barangay Binaliw, en la ciudad de Cebú (Filipinas), aplastando vidas bajo toneladas de desechos capitalistas.
