Comments on the Latest Crisis of the ICC

We find ourselves facing yet another political/organisational crisis of the ICC, the conclusion of which is still undecided. It occurs at a delicate moment for the capitalist dynamic as well as the proletarian movement. On the bourgeois side, the drive towards war has accelerated with the military initiative of the USA following the attack on the World Trade Centre.

Workers' Struggles in Argentina - Polemic with the ICC

Introduction · The Argentinian economic collapse is a preview of future turmoil which capitalism's crisis will inevitably bring. It is from such a collapse that revolutionaries look for the seeds of a future revolutionary assault on the entire capitalist system. The political forces of the communist left have understood both the seriousness and the potential of this crisis, however, they have...

The Piqueteros Movement of Argentina

(From our Latin American correspondent) · A Little History · Argentina's current crisis of power has not only arisen because of the capitalist financial collapse, but from the aptitude of the hardest hit sectors of the proletariat to translate the experience of the last 20 years - during which the capitalist regime, whether under the military boot or under democracy, has plunged the working...

Argentina - After the December 2001 Insurrection

Argentina, and indeed most of Latin America, remains on the edge of a social cataclysm. There is not a day goes by without some major protest against the state of the economy. In June two more protestors were shot in cold blood by the police which has only led to more protests. These have now spread to neighbouring Uruguay.

A Lesson from Argentina - Either the Revolutionary Party and Socialism or Generalised Poverty and War

(Statement of the IBRP) · Argentina, pummelled by an economic, financial and political crisis which has no precedent in this post second world war period, has been torn apart and the vast majority of its population reduced to hunger. When the media and the institutions that govern the world economy, like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, break the wall of silence that they have...

Statement on the Relationship of Los Angeles Workers Voice (LAWV) with the IBRP

Given the fact that until recently the IBRP has considered the group in Los Angeles, formerly know as Los Angeles Workers' Voice, as an organisation politically sympathetic and working towards closer relations and eventual integration with the Bureau as a whole, it is important to clarify that this is no longer the situation.

Editorial

New Wars in the Middle East · In June Bush made his long awaited speech on the Palestine conflict. This gave an indication of the path US imperialism has chosen to follow. By demanding a more moderate Palestinian leadership, the US is really demanding Palestinian surrender to Israeli annexations. The US is thereby ensuring that the present carnage in Palestine continues.

More Than Just a Slogan?

The purpose · There a number of purposes to this afternoon. · The ultimate goal we in Sheffield have set ourselves is the greater coordination of the efforts of all those, whatever their political starting points, who share the recognition that the only way to oppose capitalist war, the famines capitalism produces and the deterioration of the ecological framework of life itself is through class...

A Proletarian Response to Trade Union Manoeuvres

CWO introduction · The bosses ’ press have been full of propaganda about a “summer of discontent”. Without a doubt workers have plenty to be discontented about with the list growing longer every day. As yet the majority of workers who have taken action have done so under the control and manipulation of the same Trade Unions who have helped manage years of attacks on their members’ living standards.

Low pay - Just part of the problem!

The hundreds of thousands who have struck today are showing their anger at a pathetically low increase on already low wage levels. · The Trade Unions, alongside the bosses, have agreed low pay year after year. Now they wheel us out for one day’s strike like the chorus in a musical. · But the low pay of many Council Workers is only one part of the problems which affect all the working class.

Class Struggle or “Anti-Imperialism”

A debate with leftism · Introduction · During recent months CWO militants have been working with others in Sheffield to build an opposition to the bosses’ war-drive based on developing a class struggle.
