Manchester Public Meeting
REVOLUTIONARY DEFEATISM: THE TASK OF WORKERS IN WARTIME
PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION
We, as internationalists, consistently oppose taking sides in imperialist war. Instead, we advocate for working class struggle against war. Time and again, we are asked what this looks like on a practical level. (As though sacrificing oneself for a national flag is practical!).
At our next public meeting in Manchester, we will talk about revolutionary defeatism – fighting the class war instead of national war. We will trace the history of working class resistance to both world wars and beyond, and discuss its importance to us today as war fever spreads.
When: Monday, 30 March 2026, at 6:30pm
Where: Briton's Protection, 50 Great Bridgewater St, Manchester, M1 5LE

The Internationalist Communist Tendency consists of (unsurprisingly!) not-for-profit organisations. We have no so-called “professional revolutionaries”, nor paid officials. Our sole funding comes from the subscriptions and donations of members and supporters. Anyone wishing to donate can now do so safely using the Paypal buttons below.
ICT publications are not copyrighted and we only ask that those who reproduce them acknowledge the original source (author and website leftcom.org). Purchasing any of the publications listed (see catalogue) can be done in two ways:
- By emailing us at uk@leftcom.org, us@leftcom.org or ca@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details
- By donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” buttons
- By cheque made out to "Prometheus Publications" and sending it to the following address: CWO, BM CWO, London, WC1N 3XX
The CWO also offers subscriptions to Revolutionary Perspectives (3 issues) and Aurora (at least 4 issues):
- UK £15 (€18)
- Europe £20 (€24)
- World £25 (€30, $30)
Take out a supporter’s sub by adding £10 (€12) to each sum. This will give you priority mailings of Aurora and other free pamphlets as they are produced.
