Libcom.org joins International Communist Current
Today, as the international bourgeoisie comes together at the G20 conference, we can inform our readers with happiness of a great coming together of the international proletariat, because as a result of deep discussions held with patience over the past two years the libcom group have been integrated into the International Communist Current and formed the online editorial section of the ICC internationally.
Thus libcom.org is no longer the publication brought out by a small number of militants in one country but is the publication of an organization centralized on the international level.
