  Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM)
Communists are resolute opponents of imperialist war and must mobilise and lead the masses in the fight against preparations for a third world war which would be the greatest crime committed in the history of mankind.
Communists must take into account the possibility that many of these countries may be dragged into the imperialist war according to the position these countries have in relation to the different imperialist blocs.
Communist parties must consider the various concrete situations that might arise in the midst of such an imperialist war and develop their thinking in relation to these situations.

 Workers' Struggle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Workers' Struggle (Lutte Ouvrière) is the usual name under which the Communist Union (Trotskyist) (Union Communiste (Trotskyste)), a French Trotskyist political party, is known (technically, it is the name of the weekly paper edited by the party).
It is a member of the Internationalist Communist Union.
This activity could be dangerous as this was still a period when the Communist Party of France (PCF) retained its hegemonic position within the workers movement in France and they would at times make efforts to physically prevent the distribution by VO of its bulletins.

 Internationalist Communist Union
The Internationalist Communist Union is a current which bases itself on the heritage left successively, by Marx and Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, Lenin and Trotsky, through the ideas they fought for.
The organisations affiliated to the ICU consider that communist ideas must be reintroduced into the working class, which is the only force capable of turning these ideas into an instrument of social transformation.
In addition, the ICU maintains fraternal relations with the activists of the Spark group in the USA, and those of the Communist Workers' Circle "L'Internazionale", in Italy.

 Peregalli on Stinas - The Thirties
The Greek Internationalist group, even though far from the centre of the conflict, kept itself regularly informed on what was happening in Spain, and the “Workers’ Front” didn’t miss an opportunity to comment on the events reported in the international press.
Anyway, the ICU had come to the point of rejecting one of the main theses that characterised the Trotskyist movement in that period, that is the “unconditional defence” of the State at the head of which was Stalin.
The latter, on 4 August 1936, in order to prevent a “communist insurr­ection” and a “repetition of the Spanish events”, dismissed parliament and established a dictatorship, with the implied consent of king George II and without facing the slightest resistance from political ranks.

 A short history of the Communist Left
The foundation of the Communist Party of Italy in 1921, was connected with the struggle of tendencies within the old Socialist Party on the issue of the imperialist War of 1915-1918, and the question of the Russian revolution.
The split was created by the decision of the Communist International at the Congress of June 1920, which demanded of all the parties the adoption in theory and practice of a precise communist and revolutionary programme, as well as the exclusion of all those raising themselves in opposition to this doctrine and politics.
The Communist Party of Italy rejected the idea of the united anti-fascist front with the other proletarian political groups whose responsibility was too grave in the crisis of the Italian workers’ movement and whose treachery was obvious and continuing.

 Left communism at AllExperts
Its essential features were: a stress on the need to build a Communist Party entirely separate from the reformist and centrist elements who were seen as having betrayed socialism in 1914, opposition to all but the most restricted participation in elections, and an emphasis on the need for revolutionaries to move on the offensive.
The Italian Left Communists were named Left Communists at a later stage in their development, but when the Communist Party of Italy was founded they were actually the majority of Communists in that country.
This was a result of the Abstentionist Communist Fraction of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) being in advance of other sections of the PSI in their realisation that a separate Communist Party had to be formed which did not include reformists.

 Soviet Union Foreign Policy 1981-1991
During the Cold War period, the Soviet Union maintained its superpower status until the mid 1980’s when Mikhail Gorbachev was elected General Secretary and began initiating a restructuring plan, known as perestroika.
Consequently, the Soviet Union’s primary foreign policy focus was with the United States and directed primarily towards the Soviet defence budget and technological advancements.
The collapse of the Soviet Union not only affected the union itself, but also was the process that led to the disintegration of the international socio-political system.

 For a Class-Struggle Fight to Defeat Howard's Union Busting!
While the reformists peddled the myth of a union victory and deep-sixed the treacherous role of the union bureaucrats, the result was a sell-out which saw hundreds of jobs lost, speed-ups, increased casualisation and an end to the closed shop on the waterfront.
It is a grim reminder that such union misleaders have thus far uttered not even a word in defence of the Aboriginal protesters witchhunted in the wake of the upheavals last year in Redfern and Palm Island which were sparked by the cop killings of Aborigines “TJ” Hickey and Mulrunji Doomadgee.
Whatever their background and original motivation, unless they follow a communist revolutionary course, the leaders of the unions are forced by their social role to subordinate the interests of the working class to the bourgeoisie.

 Theses on the Crisis of the Fourth International and the Tasks of Consistent Trotskyists
Adopted by the Second ...
The role of the revolutionary instrument was, in effect, assigned to the ruling bureaucracy of the USSR and the Stalinist parties, driven to assume this role by the revolutionary pressure of the masses and confrontation with imperialism and the "inevitable" formation and possible triumph of internal centrist tendencies.
The MST took with it, in particular, the majority of the trade union cadres of the party and its representative in the national parliament (Luis Zamora).
The Internationalist Communist Union (UCI) is the international projection of the French organization Lutte Ouvrière (LO) with small groups in the US, the "French Antilles", and the African immigrant communities in France.

 Internationalist Group Founded
These two events are directly related: the bureaucratic expulsions were in part to get rid of an obstacle to the breaking of relations with the LQB and the flagrant desertion under fire in a key class battle that this represented.
Fighting to build the communist leadership of the proletariat, it must act as the "tribune of the people," the champion of all the oppressed against the capitalist-imperialist oppressors.
We lay claim as well to the heritage of the first four congresses of the Communist International, under the leadership of Lenin and Trotsky, and to the fight of the Russian and International Left Opposition leading to the foundation of the Fourth International in 1938 on the basis of the Transitional Program.

 Internationalist Communist Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Internationalist Communist Union (in French, Union Communiste Internationaliste) is an international grouping of Trotskyist political parties, centred on Lutte Ouvrière in France.
It believes that the socialist transformation of society can be accomplished only by the working classe, consciously fighting in its own class interests, therefore that the task of revolutionnary groups is to construct a working class revolutionary party.
The ICU believes that the only possible programmatic basis for revolutionaries rests on Marxist ideas in the tradition of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and its Bolshevik leaders Lenin and Trotsky.

 International Communist Party - Cyber Nations Wiki - A Wikia wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The International Communist Party is a multi-colour Cyber Nations alliance for socialist and communist players, dedicated to the peaceful spread of communist thought.
Harry Pollitt soon followed, and a temporary sign-up topic was posted in the Alliances and Wars board of the Cyber Nations forum, for new members who were not at war with the NPO to apply for the founding committee that would be dedicated to laying the groundworks of this new alliance.
Because of this, many members of the ICSN were in favour of going to war with the ICP in its first days, but eventually adjusted their priorities when Haraldur and NKOS went on to start the Libertarian Socialist Federation, leaving the ICSN struggling to recover.

 The International Conferences of the Communist Left (1976-80) | International Communist Current
The dispersal of the forces of the communist left was not a new phenomenon in 1976.
The left communists have their origins in the left fractions of the Second International, which led the fight against opportunism from the end of the 19th century onwards.
There is no doubt that the left communist fractions which began to react against the degeneration of the CI in the early 20s were also affected by this; once again the left was responding in a largely fragmented way to the growth of opportunism in the proletarian International.

 The struggle of trade union activists in Turkey
Furthermore, trade unions have to apply for permission to arrange meetings and they must accept that the police are present, documenting the debates.
So the union is forced to apply for exemption from the government council to be able to continue the strike.
If their application is denied, the union is forced to a binding arbitration, but if it is accepted, there will soon be a new 60 days injunction, and so the Government can manage to delay a strike forever.

 The Crisis of the Fourth International and the Tasks of Consistent Trotskyists
In the oppressed countries the USFI maintains an adaptation to the policy and the ideology of the radical petty-bourgeois nationalist movements, as shown by its uncritical political support for the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, which it presented as the regime of a proletarian dictatorship in the framework of a healthy workers' state.
The Internationalist Communist Union (ICU) is the international projection of the French organization, Lutte Ouvriere (LO), with small groups in the US, the "French Antilles" and the African immigrant communities in France.
The LO originated from a group formed in France during World War II on sectarian positions (the Class Struggle Communist Group, after World War II the Communist Union), which in 1944 refused to unify with the other Trotskyist trends in the new French section of the Fourth International.

 Internationalist Communist Organisation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
We say that any "change" or "alternative" based on the denial of the central antagonistic role of the proletariat (strengthened by its communist party) in the anti-capitalist struggle, and its replacement by "alliances" of different classes and parties created by means of electoral and parliamentary alchemies, is nothing other than a lie and a betrayal.
It was subsequently further fragmented into tiny groups that had no influence over the masses, and then further eroded by internal dissent and deviations that were either opportunist (particularly in the case of the "Trotskyists") or sectarian in the worse sense of the term (as happened to many of the so-called "Bordighist" groups and sub-groups).
By bringing together the most advanced and decided part of the proletariat, the Communist Party unifies the energies of the working masses by diverting them from struggles based on group interests and their contingent results to the general struggle for the revolutionary emancipation of the proletariat.

 Decadence of capitalism | International Communist Current
The Third International, in particular, made this analysis the general framework for its understanding of the new period that opened with the outbreak of World War I. All of the political currents that formed the International, recognised that the first global war marked the beginning of capitalism’s decadent phase.
The future world Communist Party, the new International, will be built on political positions, which will supersede the mistakes, inadequacies, or unresolved questions of the old party, the Communist International.
This is why it is vital that the organisations that claim their origins in the Communist Left continue to debate together.

 The crisis of the Fourth International and the tasks of consistent trotskyists - EDM 14 - August 1996
From 1964 on, this evaluation would lead to the theory of "neocapitalism" with the consequent underestimation of the actuality of the socialist perspective and the revolutionary role of the proletariat in the imperialist countries.
The struggle within the International Committee against the capitulation of the SWP was conducted primarily by the Socialist Labour League (SLL) of Britain and the Parti Communiste Internationaliste (PCI/France; later [1963-1981] the Organisation Communiste Internationaliste [OCI/France]; since 1981, again the PCI).
Examples are the uncritical support the USFI gave to the former leader of the French Communist Party, Juquin, in 1988, and its attitude toward the reformist majority of the Workers Party (PT) of Brazil.

The Union of Communism was dissolved early in 1921, but later in that year some of those who had led and belonged to it began to publish a periodical, Archives of Marxism.
The Internationalist Communists continued to suffer some persecution in the wake of the fall of the dictatorship.
In September 1977 the Internationalist Communist Party merged "with another Trotskyist group" [55] to form the OKDE—Organization of International Communists of Greece, which continued to be affiliated with the United Secretariat.

 Modern History Sourcebook: COMINFORM COMMUNIQUÉ: Resolution of the Information Bureau Concerning the Communist Party ...
In home policy, the leaders of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia are departing from the positions of the working class and are breaking with the Marxist theory of classes and class struggle.
This denial is the direct result of the opportunist tenet that the class struggle does not become sharper during the period of transition from capitalism to socialism, as Marxism-Leninism teacbes, but dies down, as was affirmed by opportunists of the Bukharin type, who propagated the theory of the peaceful growing over of capitalism into socialism.
Should the present leaders of the Yugoslav Communist Party prove incapable of doing this, their job is to replace them and to advance a new internationalist leadership of the Party.
