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.

No-debt: Rebels against the debt, prone at the feet of the Capital

Texts

“State loans, the creation of  the ever increasing, gigantic public debt, is one of the keystones of capitalist accumulation.  Marx, in Book One of Capital (chap. XXVI, 8, on the genesis of the industrial capitalist), states: ‘National debts, i.e., the alienation of the state – whether despotic, constitutional or republican – marked with its stamp the capitalistic era. The only part of the so-called national wealth that actually enters into the collective possessions of modern peoples is—their national debt. Hence, as a necessary consequence, the modern doctrine that a nation becomes the richer the more deeply it is in debt. Public credit becomes the credo of capital. And with the rise of national debt-making, want of faith in the national debts takes the place of the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which may not be forgiven’”.

Only a few months ago, in a speech he made in Washington on 4 November 2011, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, William J. Burns, stated that during the next few decades, the Pacific will become the most dynamic part of the world and the most important for American interests.  In this area, he added, more than half of the world population, key allies and emerging powers and some of the main economic markets are already concentrated.  In the same month the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, wrote an article for the review Foreign Policy with an eloquent title: “The Century of the Pacific for America”.

React against desperation and isolation Resume the struggles, organize and extend them

The attack against the proletariat is continuing all over the world and can only intensify, since the economic crisis is not going to let up: indeed, it is destined to become deeper and more serious, day by day.  Only the blind could fail to see this.  On the other hand, the ruling class knows it only too well: they try to hide it behind words, set phrases, exhortations not to lose confidence, the rhetorical appeal to democratic cooperation.  But we know very well that this is a general and historic disaster and no hastily invented formula will be able to halt it.

No illusions! There is no way out of the crisis! The bourgeois answer: prepare for war Our answer: prepare for revolution

Proletarians! Comrades!

First of May 2012:  the crisis gains momentum and is hitting hard, all over the world.  Soaring unemployment, widespread precariousness, pensions cut or annulled, growth in the cost of living, the lives of proletarians turned upside down and massacred.  In return they promise us an imaginary future (when the crisis is behind us!), a wondrous rise in employment and salaries: in exchange, of course, for accepting all the “necessary sacrifices” today!  The same old tune that the right- and left-wing bourgeoisie, national unions and minor unions have always sung us in all its possible variations.

The 1926 General Strike in Britain

Texts

As part of our ongoing work of remembering the great episodes of central importance to the history of the communist and workers’ movement – episodes mostly forgotten or manipulated by opportunism – the following article recalls an event of great portent, unfortunately negative from the point of view of the final outcome and its consequences, despite the extraordinary proletarian mobilisation by which it was characterized.  The 1926 General Strike in Britain was also the ground on which the ruinous practices of the Communist International began to be felt and experienced, at the beginning of what was not just a simple decline but the abandonment of real class politics.
