WHAT DISTINGUISHES OUR PARTY: The political continuity which goes from Marx to Lenin, to the foundation of the Communist Party of Italy (Livorno, 1921); the struggle of the Communist Left against the degeneration of the Communist International, against the theory of „socialism in one country“, against the Stalinist counter-revolution; the rejection of the Popular Fronts and the Resistance Blocs; the difficult task of restoring the revolutionary doctrine and organization in close interrelationship with the working class, against all personal and electoral politics.

The Palestinian proletariat in the infamous trap of nationalisms

- Parent Category: International Communist Party

In the articles, leaflets and comments we have devoted to the umpteenth massacre being perpetrated for months now in the Gaza Strip by the State of Israel, we have always insisted on using the term proletariat and not “people”: Palestinian or Arab or Middle-Eastern proletariat. This is not a linguistic quirk: “people” refers to all classes; it is an inter-classist term which implies a national vision, whilst our perspective – the one within and for which we have always worked as communists – is one that, particularly in the imperialist phase, centres on a single class, the proletarian class, and which therefore does not identify with the “people”, the “Nation”, the “Fatherland” or the bourgeois State. In fact it opposes all of them and doing so (only by doing so!) prepares our class for its own revolution. These are the terms in which we replied to those who criticised a leaflet of ours in the context of a demonstration, arrogantly and aggressively moreover, because it attacked “the Arab bourgeoisies in the region (including the Palestinian)”, for their long-term betrayal of the proletariat in Gaza and the West Bank. We are not suprised, however: we are well aware that ours is a minority perspective and goes against the current: but there are no other paths and all the presumed shortcuts only lead to disaster and more proletarian blood being uselessly spilled.
The ‘Pro-Palestinian’ Protests in the Universities

The protests of American university students against the war unleashed by the Israeli state in the Gaza Strip – an act of outright butchery bordering on genocide, involving the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population and, most importantlly, of the proletariat and proletarianised masses – have now spread, domino-efffect, to parts of Europe and elsewhere.There’s no point going into the ins and outs of what’s actually happening because media outlets have been providing ‘information’ on the situation for weeks now (it’s mid-May at time of writing). We would, instead, prefer to concentrate on one or two crucial matters, thereby ensuring that gut reactions to the capitalist mode of production’s most recent death throes do not pass unobserved.
Dead proletarians have no fatherland

The proliferation and intensification of the conflicts between imperialisms in areas such as the Middle and Far East, Africa and Europe itself (we won’t repeat once again the list of explosive situations or those already in flames) are sparking off repercussions on all levels. “Public discourse” (or ideological mobilisation) related to the need for “European rearmament” is stepping up, since – as Charles Michel, President of the European Council has recently had reason to declare – “if we want peace, we must prepare for war.” Words and expressions like “escalation”, “war economy”, “defending our trade routes”, when referring to specific episodes such as the war in Ukraine or the tense situation in the Red Sea, are more and more frequently heard, so that the fatigued ears of Holy Public Opinion can gradually get used to them. Moreover, more in detail, the prospect of an approaching third world war (the inevitable outlet for this mode of production and its profound crisis of over-production since the conclusion of the cycle of expansion following the end of the second world war) brings dangerously to the surface the contradictions implicit in all positions that fail to identify with revolutionary Marxism or – worse still! – proclaim they do, only to betray it by their actions.
First of May 2024: Against all imperialist wars!

No need for many words: only the pathetically deluded fail to see that, in the depths of the capitalist economy, with the peaks and dips in its decades-long crisis, a new and widespread conflict is being prepared - one even more devastating than the two past world wars and the countless “minor wars” that preceded and followed them: the last of the series, the war in Ukraine, and the slaughter of the Palestinian proletarians in and around Gaza.
France: While the Riots Raged …

As young proletarians from the banlieues angrily faced up to the cream of the French Republic’s repressive regime during recent riots, an aging and green-behind-the ears protester held up a banner featuring the slogan: “Disarm the Police”.
A metaphysically absurd demand.
The State isn’t some kind of body appointed to oversee the “collective good”. It is the “collective capitalist” that exercises the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, and underwrites its monopoly of violence.
