To Our Readers - Internationalist Communist

This is the last in the current series of Internationalist Communist. It was created to act as the central organ of the International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party when it was set up. At that time there were only two affiliated organisations, the Communist Workers’ Organisation in the UK and Il Partito Comunista Internazionalista in Italy.

On the Events in France

(Statement of the International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party) · For the thirteenth consecutive night, working class suburbs mainly occupied by immigrant workers have been the victim of riots. At first these were in the suburbs on the outskirts of Paris and then were extended to the provinces where they were repeated in cities like Lyon, Bordeaux and Nantes...

In Memory of Mauro who has left us so soon

Regions: 

(From Battaglia Comunista 6 June 2005) · On 2nd May we lost Mauro Stefanini. He was killed by cancer, the illness of our miserable age. Right up to the end we hoped his vitality and will to live would enable him to win through, but it wasn’t to be. The disease won, even if it didn’t succeed in humiliating him as it came up against his insurmountable reserves of courage and dignity.

Letter from Comrade Franca

Regions: 

Dear Comrades, · I know that at the opening of the AGM there will be a space to remember Mauro, the comrade and the man. I am sending my thoughts to help complete the all-round profile which the comrades will certainly be giving of the communist fighter/militant. · Mauro was a natural communist: his daily life, his feelings, his spontaneous reaction to events in life, they were all an expression of...

The Commemoration at Calusca in Milan and the messages of solidarity

Regions: 

The Commemoration of comradeMauro Stefanini was held on Saturday 28th May at the Calusca bookshop in Milan. · The room in which the Commemoration was held was packed with comrades, family and friends, united to give a last salute to a man who was profoundly loved and appreciated by all who had the fortune to know him.

Tribute to Mauro from the CWO (UK)

Regions: 

It is perhaps too early to write or say anything dispassionate about someone who was such an enormous presence but this message comes from the entire CWO for whom Mauro was, in the words Lenin used of Bukharin, “the favourite of our party”. This is not only due to his warm and engaging personality. From the very beginning Mauro was the initiator of contact between the CWO and the PCInt.

Refining the Concept of Decadence

(The document which follows is the result of a wide-ranging debate amongst all the organisations which adhere to the International Bureau. This common work is a measure of the increasing degree of homogeneity of the Bureau itself which is a fundamental premise for the us to reach the objective which we have set ourselves - the rebuilding of the revolutionary party on an international scale.

World Revolution and True Marxism - A Letter from Norway

As we were going to press we received the following letter from a sympathiser of the communist left tradition in Norway who has informed us that he was previously a follower of Maoism which he no longer regards as a proletarian current. The letter is to be welcomed as it underlines what many correspondents have been telling us since the collapse of the former USSR and its empire that capitalist...

The Question of Consciousness: A Basis for Discussion

Translated from Bilan & Perspectives No. 6 (December 2005) · The text which follows as part of a series of discussions between communists in France. This particular text is a reply to a document by the comrades who still call themselves the Internal Fraction of the International Communist Current although some years have now passed since they were in that organisation.

Terrorism and Democracy: Imperialism's Final Frontier

Politics: 
People: 
Basics: 

Capitalism’s latest theme is the struggle to defend democracy against terrorism. But what is this democracy? It exploits labour power, impoverishes the proletariat by progressively eroding its health, its pensions and its standard of living through the intensification of the working day and the lowering of its purchasing power.

Victory for Capitalism - British Election

On the 5th of May British workers endured another sickening charade in which the ruling class elected its governing team. As expected, the Labour government was confirmed as the manager of British capitalism for the next five years. For the bourgeoisie, the result of the election was less important than the fact that the election took place.

Abstentionism - Theses on Parliamentarism

(We are publishing again the "Theses on parliamentarism". We first published these in RP3 old series which has for many years been out of print. We consider it timely to republish these theses for two principal reasons. The first is that the use of democracy as a weapon against the working class and in particular against independent class politics has become stronger in the last two decades.
