We are an international collective formed for the working-class struggle of freedom and social justice.
Our focus is towards establishing a stategic resource for revolutionary libertarian socialists to encourage the study of, and training in, military and insurgency techniques in anticipation of current conflicts with the internationalized statist forces and global capitalist interests. We believe now is the time to establish a currently active martial force. We oppose centralization and all forms of political, economic and social hierarchies. The ICC has no leaders, but afinity groups that operate independetly, locally within their commuities. Afinity groups are refered to as chapters, and are capable of teaching, manuvering and operating without central authority.
The ICC web site is a collective project. It's objective is to bring critisizm/debate/comments and suggestions surrounding the issues of class warfare, and conflicts between global capitalist interests and the working class.
"Even if you do believe in the creation aspect of social revolution, you better get ready to defend it if you intend for it to be the new infra-structure. Capitalism will not be abandoned without a strong violent reaction from the state. This isn't about anything but knowing your history and being realistic. If you like to toss the word "revolution" around without any program for self-defense...then your using the word "revolution" as loosely as it scrawled on a t-shirt in a mall. Revolution is an act of self-respect, self-determination, and self-defense."
what more proof do we need? they kill us, put us on death row, pepperspray us, beat us, shoot us (ICC was shot up in the leg by some pigs awhile back), imprison us, phone tap us, surveil us...i mean jesus christ, what more do we need? how long is it going to be until we, the sitting ducks that we are, decide to take up arms and fire back? i mean, I wouldn't be sayin this if they weren't doin this shit to us. i would advocate peace too, but the system has been killing us off! want examples? i could go on and on. Assata Shakur, Abbie Hoffman, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Bobby Hutton, Leonard Peltier, Marcus Garvey, Frantz Fanon, Patrice Lumuba, Che Guevara, Bob Marley, Sacco and Vanzetti, Sundiata Acoli, Sekou Odinga, Zaide Shakur, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the list goes on and on and on. They are at war with us. and what do we do? we sit back in our brougeoisie homes in front of our computers acting as if we can wait it out, because no revolution will happen in our time (hopefully, because if it did, we wouldn't be able to try out all this new neat software and clothes!).
look at the people that we fight for. black people in this nation represent only 12% of the population, however, they represent 65% of the prison population and 80% of prison inmates. you mean to tell me there is no war against black people? look at the worker. the average worker may contribute to making the corporation they are working for about $100 a day, yet the minimum wage is only $5.15!!!! 94% of their wealth their labor creates is stolen. you mean to tell me there is no war against the worker? there are 45 million in this nation with no health care. the richest 10% in this nation own 90% of it's wealth.
look guys, I'm not trying to preach to the converted here, but come on! do you think the people in power are going to just give up and say "ok, we'll give the people power and lose all of ours"? if you do, you're naive. even if we educate the masses and people are demanding change, it won't happen until we are willing to physically fight for what is right. don't believe me? look at south africa. the white minority there oppressed the afrikan majority.
if we unite what we have now and come to the realization that they are waging war on us, and come to the conclusion that we need to fight back, then there is no stopping us. we are already millions strong. we can fucking take them. as long as this bickering over violence vs non-violence continues, we are gonna be ass out. this isn't about violence. this is about intelligence. if a woman is being raped by a man and she has a gun laying right next to her, what is the intelligent thing to do? shoot the rapist when he's not looking! you don't tell the raped not to fight the rapist! you don't tell the deer not to rebel against the hunter! you don't tell the oppressed not to resist!!
it's high time we fight back. we have been complacent since the fucking 60s. is it going to take some more of us being shot up for people to be willing to fight? what is it going to take? "
