The Israeli surprise assault on Iran of June 13, prepared long in advance and exerted in tandem with its US American master, opens up the Pandora’s Box of a regional imperialist conflagration with global implications and may therefor pose urgent questions to internationalists. First and foremost, this new belligerent escalation confronts internationalist minorities with their responsibilities. In the following, we therefor reproduce the first two proletarian internationalist statements th...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review

Throughout his work, Marx has never ceased to emphasize the three “historical missions” that the capitalist mode of production ensures in the trajectory of human societies: developing the productive forces, increasing the productivity of labour and creating the world market as well as a production conditioned by the latter. However, these ‘missions’ do not in any way constitute progress made by the bourgeoisie for the benefit of humanity, but a constraint based on the tempestuous impe...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review

The following statement by the ICT’s affiliates in Germany (the 'GIK') aims at unmasking the manoeuvring that lies behind the demagoguery of racist division campaigns, and points at the stakes of the struggle of the wage earners, regardless of their ethnical, religious or national background, against the attacks on their living conditions in full preparation. This statement is complemented by nine Theses on the “Struggle Against the Right” that have already been formulated in face of th...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review

Internationalist Perspective has published its evaluation of three initiatives against capitalism and its wars that have taken place in the course of this year, and in which it has engaged itself very closely: the (notorious) “action week and congress” at Prague in May; the second internationalist Conference at Arezzo in June and the ‘Beach Communist’ summer-camp at Poznan in July. In the section ‘International Meetings & Conferences’ we adopt their informative balance sheet, toge...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
"Despite the incessant noise and fury of a deliberately murderous war from Gaza and Israel to Lebanon, which can soon be expected from Yemen to Iran as well; despite the noise and fury of an interminable war between Russia and Ukraine, which becomes increasingly globalized, (1) a comparably peaceful silence seems to reign on the side of the Pacific Ocean, so wrongly named, which is disputed in a fierce and interminable struggle between China and the USA. However, both the USA and its allies ...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
"The hundreds of dead and missing are not the product of an uncontrolled nature. They are not the result of a fatality against which nothing can be done. We are not satisfied with the “meteorological” explanation, the liters of rain falling, the overflowing rivers… The causes are deep and are linked to the very foundations of capitalism: a system that crowds workers into marginal and low-income areas of cities in order to better exploit them, a system that protects and privileges produc...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
Next to the historical analysis “1825 – 2025: Two Centuries of Class Struggle” this article is concerned with appreciating the manifestations of workers’ struggles in recent years, mostly in the historic center of Capitalism, Western Europe, and notably since the manifestations of workers’ combativity in England and the United Kingdom in 2022 and corresponding movements in France, Germany and Spain, plus the USA and Canada – which have prominently been branded as “historical” ...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
The article “1825 – 2025: Two centuries of class struggle” provides an impressive overview of the distinct periods of proletarian class struggles, their rise and fall shaping the course of modern, industrial, capitalism and the fate of humanity, in order to identify historic offensives, defeats and resurgences, and discern the dynamic of the force relationship between capitalism’s antagonistic, historical classes, bourgeoisie and proletariat from the latter’s point of view.

These notes, pleading for an historical approach to the question of war in a proletarian sense, have been written for a preparatory meeting of the ‘Beach Communists Summer Camp’ in July 2024 at Poznan. Whereas we have found no publicly available reports on this summer camp so far, we find the notes by the UK-based ‘Friends of working class struggle’ nevertheless stimulating . They are followed by an evaluative report of a political confrontation with pro-Ukrainian “solidarity collec...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
“In war, truth is the first casualty”, wrote Aeschylus over 2,500 years ago. The Gaza war, a military event that will go down as one of the most despicable in history, has not belied this merciless dictum. Three gross lies, three enormous “casualties of truth” mark its course. The first, the Hamas attack, was presented as a “surprise”. The second lie concerns nothing less than the objective proclaimed by the most powerful combatant: the extermination of Hamas. The third, but by no...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review

In this article we comment on certain repercussions that this initiative has been confronted with as soon as a public notice of its tenure had been given by IP as one of its organizers, namely its denunciation by Aníbal and Fredo Corvo in their joint publication as “a travesty of an international conference” (July 25, 2023) and and its sequel.… Continue reading Echoes of an International Conference: Critique or Detraction?→| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
