The Ukrainian war: an internationalist class position- RCI Statement

The first casualty of war is truth. This is also the case of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine. Marxists need to be able to cut through the fog of lies and war propaganda and analyse the real reasons behind the conflict; what has caused it; and the real interests that lie behind the excuses and justifications of the different parties involved. Above all, we must do so from the point of view of the interests of the world working class.

2026 kicks off to the sound of imperialist war drums and class struggle

This February, the leadership of the Revolutionary Communist International met in Italy to assess the world situation and how the forces of communism are being gathered and trained around the globe, and to plan ahead. Below we publish a transcript of a talk on the world situation by Jorge Martín of the International Secretariat of the RCI, assessing where the world is going in these turbulent first months of 2026.

Iran War leaves Asia reeling

The war in the Middle East, ignited by the US and Israel’s full-scale attack on Iran, has dealt a hammer blow to the world economy. Asia, though bearing no responsibility for Trump and Netanyahu’s reckless adventure, is among the heaviest casualties of the economic fallout. As the war rages with no end in sight, Asian workers must be ready to resist any attempt by the ruling class to make them foot the bill.

Australia’s position between US and Chinese imperialism

Australia has become a flashpoint in the intensifying rivalry between the United States and China. For Australia’s ruling class, balancing these two powers grows increasingly complex. The nature of the bourgeoisie, since its inception, is marked by short-sightedness, speculation, and a consistent loyalty to whichever imperialist power dominates.

2025 World Congress

Every two years the RCI holds a 5-day long World Congress in Italy. Here, comrades and delegates from over 40 countries attend to share updates and perspectives from their corner of the world and learn from others. 2025 is the first year that we had an Australian delegate attend- a significant moment for us as a growing group of the RCI. This has been an important few months for our group, with the release of our first issue of The Communist on 8th August. Copies of the paper were divided up and sent to our comrades in Australia with branches being formed in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. The World Congress is a staunch reminder that we are part of a single, international movement and has heavily inspired our work in Australia.

Australian imperialism and the crisis in the South West Pacific

Established as a colonial outpost of British imperialism, Australian capitalism grew by extending its reach across the Pacific through financial domination and state coercion. Today it faces a world rocked by capitalism’s rotting system. With America’s relative decline and China’s power surging, the bosses are tightening their grip to protect their profits.
