Ultra-left communist group who write extensively on working class theory and international issues as well as produce the publication 'Communism'.
The Economy is in Crisis... May It Die! & Death to Recovery - Communism #13
Below we have published a translation of two texts, examples of the forms taken today by the dictatorship of the economy.
Notes Against the Dictatorship of the Economy - Communism #13
The tyranny of value in process - the affirmation of the revolutionary programme
Our presence on the Internet - Communism #12
We have put the main texts of our reviews in various languages, our theses of programmatical orientation, etc. on it and have had many first-time contacts through this medium. We thought it necessary to place a short text introducing our group and explaining its trajectory on this site.
A Repugnant Spectacle - Communism #12
We don't want to enter into the polemic provoked some years ago in the Basque Country and in Spain as to whether or not the execution of Miguel Angel Blanco by ETA and the campaign of the Spanish State marked an irreversible qualitative jump in interbourgeois (imperialist) war; it is of far greater interest to us to denounce the repugnant spectacle of popular adherence to the state's mobilization.
Bangladesh... Not Just Floods! - Communism #12
Capital has asserted itself as the worldwide mode of production since the XVth century. Since then, it has cemented every brick in every mine, factory, office where it extracts surplus value from those who it exploits. It oils its machines, air planes and computers... with the blood of those from whom it extracts surplus value.
Two Leaflets: Against capitalist war and peace - Communism #12
Against capitalist war and peace
There is no capitalism without war!
To abolish war we have to abolish capitalism!

The Invariance of the Revolutionary Position on War: The Meaning of Revolutionary Defeatism - Communism #12
The position of revolutionaries confronted with capitalist war is always the same: to oppose social revolution to war, to struggle against "their own" bourgeoisie and "their own" national state.
Nationalism and Islamism Against the Proletariat - Communism #11
As history shows us, the more the bourgeoisie speaks of peace, the more important the competition to which they abandon themselves to drown any revolutionary uprisings in blood. It is this very scenario that the bourgeoisie applied when faced with the proletarian forces coming out of the uprisings of March 1991 in Iraq.
Aids' Origin in 1959? Science's Discrete Refutation! - Communism #10
In April 1993, we published an article entitled "Aids, pure product of Science" in French in Communisme No.38. Since then, it has been translated and published in our central reviews in Spanish and English (Communism No.8) and has been sent around the world, giving rise to much reaction, republication and reproduction.
What Reduction of Working Time? - Communism #10
The following text was first published in Communism No.2 in 1985. At that time we were faced with language difficulties that made our texts in English quite obscure for our readers. Now, thanks to the effort of more and more English-speaking comrades, the texts published in Communism are far easier to read. This is one reason why we are republishing this text.
