The
following letter was sent to the ICC and to other groups and individuals in
reply to a polemic in the paper in Britain
of the ICC, World Revolution, entitled "The CWO falls victim to
political parasitism". This polemic argued that the demise of the Communist
Workers' Organisation's paper Workers' Voice, their apparent regroupment
with the Communist Bulletin Group (CBG), and their refusal to help defend a
public meeting of the ICC in Manchester from attack, were concessions to
parasitism. Such concessions can be traced back to the inadequate bases of the CWO's formation
and the organisational weaknesses of its regroupment with the Internationalist
Communist Party (Battaglia Comunista).
