This international bulletin of the Rete dei Comunisti contains texts relating to the organisation’s activity from the ‘resumption’ of the political year in September 2024 until January 2025.
The specific activity of the Rete dei Comunisti within the various ‘fronts’ and areas of work can certainly not be summarised in an explanatory introduction, and the texts we propose are certainly not exhaustive of the political work done in recent months.
We have selected four elements that we think might be interesting in order to understand our level of historical-theoretical reflection, our commitment to the mass fronts – in this case alongside the conflictual and confederal unionism of the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) – our militancy in the construction of the movement of solidarity with the Arab-Palestinian Resistance and against Zionism, and our internationalist initiative with reference to the Antifascist International in Caracas, which we are enthusiastic adherents of.
The first text is the translation of the presentation of the forum held in Rome on October 4-5-6: ‘In Praise of Communism in the 20th Century’, which saw more than twenty speeches, including a conspicuous number of international ‘guests’. The proceedings are currently being printed and will be presented in the coming months.
The second text is the communiqué written by Rete dei Comunisti (RdC), Cambiare Rotta (Youth Communist Organisation), and OSA (Opposition Students’ Alternative) on the unitary national demonstration of November 30th 2024 in Rome and on the path towards the construction of a National Anti-Zionist and Anti-Colonialist Network for Palestine which began with the national assembly of 9 November in Rome, with the adhesion of more than 200 Italian realities, and which then continued with specific cycles of national initiatives articulated in various cities.
The third text is the RdC-Cambiare Rotta-OSA in anticipation of the general strike called by USB on December 13th 2024. A strike strongly opposed by the current centre-right executive and ‘criminalised’ by the mainstream media, but which had very high peaks of adhesion in some sectors and two national demonstrations.
The fourth text is the RdC-Cambiare Rotta-OSA on the participation of one of our delegations in the World Festival of the Anti-Fascist International in Caracas from January 9th to January 11th 2025.
