International Viewpoint, the monthly English-language magazine of the Fourth International, is a window to radical alternatives world-wide, carrying reports, analysis and debates from all corners of the globe. Correspondents in over 50 countries report on popular struggles, and the debates that are shaping the left of tomorrow.
“We will explore here how dysfunction and looming chaos in U.S. bourgeois politics, and the existing and deepening global disorder, intersect and tend to magnify each other. Two genocidal wars and invasions occupy center stage — where in both Gaza and Ukraine, each day’s monstrous atrocities are exceeded by the next — impacting both the United States and the mockingly named “rules-based” international order.”
read article...“War on war! Solidarity and freedom for all peoples! Freedom for Palestine! Freedom for Ukraine! More anti-capitalist and internationalist than ever! That’s what we’ll be saying on 1 May.”
read article...The current onslaught against the Gaza Strip, accompanied by a dangerous escalation of Zionist attacks in the West Bank, undoubtedly constitutes the gravest stage of the Zionist aggression that has been ongoing on the Palestinian scene since the 1948 Nakba. It is hence a great paradox that this paroxysmic onslaught is likely to produce results completely opposite to those of the war that took place more than three quarters of a century ago.
read article...Thousands of students at dozens of campuses across the United States participated in April and continue today to join in pro-Palestine protests leading in some cases to brutal police repression, arrests, and suspensions or expulsions from the university.
read article...“What is needed is not only access to international protection for all (including non-European) asylum-seekers but also functioning public institutions that can provide access to decent living conditions, accommodation, healthcare and work. ”
read article...This text, of which the first parts were discussed collectively, in particular with the comrades of the Anticapitalist Left (GA) who are members of the IC, represents the majority view of the comrades of the NPA who are members of the IC.
This contribution is by three members of the Gauche Anticapitaliste (Anticapitalist Left) which left the NPA in July 2012 Myriam Martin, Flavia Verri and Sébastien Ville.
I am contributing to the debate a specific perspective on the recent split in the NPA, marked by GA’s departure to the Front de Gauche (Left Front – FdG).
Like Michael Löwy, I publicly took on the choice of double membership (GA and NPA) which to date has been accepted by both sides.
The ongoing discussion on the balance sheets of building broad anti-capitalist parties at the next IC early March, gives us the opportunity to set the debates of the second conference of the NPA, our own balance sheet, in a more global context. This text is an individual contribution to this vital work that requires confronting different points of view in order to draw lessons from them.
“Therefore, today we stand united, pledging to continue the fight for the rights and welfare of the working class, and in saving our planet and humanity from the destructive capitalist system. Labor Day will always be a day of protest for all of us. So, with the days beyond.”

- read article...“This is a condemnation of all of us who organize politically in defense of democratic rights, equality, and freedom. The arrests of the Zaragoza 6 reflect the political decision to systematically criminalize protest, seeking to punish them to instill fear. It reinforces the political power of the police and judicial apparatuses, over and above the democratic rights won through centuries of struggle.”
