Internationalist Communist Tendency - Ideology

Ideology

There were two main reasons for this initiative. The first was to give organisational form to an already-existing tendency within the proletarian political camp. This had emerged from the International Conferences called by Battaglia Comunista between 1977 and 1981. It was grouped around the following political precepts:

• The basis for adherence to the last of these conferences was the seven points for which the CWO and PCInt. had voted at the Third Conference. these were:
• Acceptance of the October Revolution as proletarian.
• Recognition of the break with Social Democracy brought about by the first two Congresses of the Third International.
• Rejection without reservation of state capitalism and self-management.
• Rejection of the so-called Socialist and so-called Communist Parties as bourgeois.
• Rejection of all policies which subjects the proletariat to the national bourgeoisie.
• An orientation towards the organisation of revolutionaries recognising Marxist doctrine and methodology as proletarian science.
• Recognition of international meetings as part of the work of debate among revolutionary groups for coordination of their active political intervention towards the class in its struggle, with the aim of contributing to the process leading to the International Party of the Proletariat, the indispensable political organ for the political guidance of the revolutionary class movement and the proletarian power itself.
