Contribution to a history of the labour movement in Egypt

After Senegal and South Africa, in a new series, we present a history of the workers' movement in Egypt.

To this very day, the Italian Communist Left (‘sinistra italiana’) is still unknown — and is even misrepresented — in the very countries where it emerged and to which it spread through the immigration of its militants.

In the last issue of the Bulletin d’Information de la Fraction de Gauche Italienne (February 1933), Vercesi wrote: “...the victory of fascism in Germany marks a break in the revolutionary course which appeared in 1917, and which could have ended in the triumph of the world proletariat.

Appendix 2: Manifesto of Communist Left to the proletarians of Europe (June 1945)

It will soon be five years that imperialist war has raged in Europe, with all its misery, massacres and devastation.

On the Russian, French and Italian fronts tens of millions of workers and peasants are slaughtering each other for the exclusive interests of a sordid and bloody capitalism, which obeys only these laws: profit, accumulation.

Andreas Malm: “ecological” rhetoric in defense of the capitalist state (Part 2)

In the first part of this article, we showed that the self-styled “Lenin of ecology”, Andreas Malm, is in fact defending a completely bourgeois conception of this question, and in reality serves as an agent of state capitalism, which he aims to propagate to the working class. In this second part, we will show how much his approach is based on a fundamental distortion of the marxist vision of the capitalist mode of production and its relationship with nature.
