IMPERIALISM: WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT ISN'T AND HOW IT ENDS
PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION
Today’s wars are not a product of ego, religion or human nature. They are a necessary feature of capitalism, along with the earth’s ruin, the poverty of the “developing” world, and our very own workplace exploitation. ‘Imperialism’ is thrown around as a leftist buzzword with confused meanings, as if it’s a behaviour performed by certain bad countries. But it's no more nor less than the final phase of capitalism. The competition of businesses has become the competition of nations, for materials and strategy, for profits and power.
Imperialism is part and parcel of the global capitalist system, and no country exists outside of its reach. The devastations of imperialism will not end either with the independence of new nations or an international court of justice. Only the end of capitalism through a working-class revolution can put an end to the senseless barbarity.
Come and hear more on imperialism, what it is, what it isn't and how it ends.

The Internationalist Communist Tendency consists of (unsurprisingly!) not-for-profit organisations. We have no so-called “professional revolutionaries”, nor paid officials. Our sole funding comes from the subscriptions and donations of members and supporters. Anyone wishing to donate can now do so safely using the Paypal buttons below.
ICT publications are not copyrighted and we only ask that those who reproduce them acknowledge the original source (author and website leftcom.org). Purchasing any of the publications listed (see catalogue) can be done in two ways:
- By emailing us at uk@leftcom.org, us@leftcom.org or ca@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details
- By donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” buttons
- By cheque made out to "Prometheus Publications" and sending it to the following address: CWO, BM CWO, London, WC1N 3XX
The CWO also offers subscriptions to Revolutionary Perspectives (3 issues) and Aurora (at least 4 issues):
- UK £15 (€18)
- Europe £20 (€24)
- World £25 (€30, $30)
Take out a supporter’s sub by adding £10 (€12) to each sum. This will give you priority mailings of Aurora and other free pamphlets as they are produced.
