How can a lone sympathizer/observer contribute?
Submitted by graham on Tue, 2013-06-04 15:17
First of all I apologize if this isn't the proper place to ask such a question, but I haven't been able to find any other.
I'm just curious at this point how someone who is sympathetic with the ICT and the internationalist communist left in general can contribute to our broad historical project? I haven't been politically active for a few years due to the demands of survival and family responsibilities but I'm looking to get involved in some way.
I don't believe I have the time or resources to commit to actually trying to join an organization at this point. I do not believe there are any organized left-communist inspired groups in my area. Thanks for any suggestions or info in advance.

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
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.

The Russian Revolution remains a landmark event in history. For the bourgeois historians, the October Revolution is thought to be a tragedy that set back the achievements of the “democratic” February Revolution, and allowed the Bolsheviks to wreak havoc on their citizens and the world. For the Stalinists, the events of 1917 paved the way for the birth of the USSR, which they point to as a prototypical example of “socialism in one country”. In reality, the February and October Revolutions were both part of the same proletarian revolution.
The book can be ordered by emailing us at uk@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details, or by donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” button.

Firstly I recommend you to
Firstly I recommend you to write to our central address for any further explanations. The apply-mode is on the bottom of the english home-page. You may find it by clicking on "articles" and scrolling to the bottom with your mouse wheel.
Comrade, your generosity is welcome, since our organization certainly needs all the help any comrade wishes to give.
I will just point down some basic things that may help us.
These are the first things that come up to my mind in this moment, yet I'm sure some other comrades might ask to come in support of our lacking forces in other activities!
Thank you for asking.
The question Graham raises is
The question Graham raises is extremely pertinent. This is a situation in which most sympathizers find themselves. Definitely contributing to translation, writing letters and articles, graphic art, helping digitize documents are all good things. Find something to write about a local situation and let people know generally what is going on in your area generally would be good.
Good suggestions, many of
Good suggestions, many of which I think I can help out with. Will be in touch when I get the chance, but certainly digitizing documents and graphic art are within the realm of things I could help with.

Graham We have a ton of old documents in English that need digitising. If you are prepared for it I can post them
