Resolution on the state of the British capitalism and imperialism, and the response of the working class to the crisis, adopted at a recent ICC conference
In the October issue of World Revolution (number 398) we published an article denouncing the brazen support for the massacre by Hamas on October 7, for Palestinian nationalism and its imperialist backers, by the Socialist Workers Party in Britain. This new article shows that the participation of the Trotskyists in the new imperialist carnage in the Middle East is an international phenomenon.
The first part of this article[1] described the rise to power of American imperialism which in the decadent phase of capitalism became the dominant imperialism, leader of the Western bloc that finally triumphed over the rival Soviet bloc in the late 1980s.
A complement to the resolution on the international situation adopted at the 25th ICC Congress.
Using cunning and persuasion, lies, blackmail and violence, democracy has orchestrated numerous coups d'état and organised massive bombings of civilians, preparing the breeding ground for ethnic cleansing and further massacres. Yet the bourgeoisie uses its own past crimes to feed propaganda that it hopes will mystify the working class, and hide capitalism’s responsibility.
