The WSWS is publishing today a Chinese translation of the ICFI’s call for the formation of an International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC).

Originally published in English on 23 April 2021, the statement explains the urgent need for a global counteroffensive of the working class against the homicidal policies of capitalist governments, which are responsible for the worldwide COVID-19 catastrophe.

The establishment of the IWA-RFC is aimed at the independent mobilisation of the working class, to advance its own interests, in opposition to all of the capitalist parties, including the Stalinist and social-democratic organisations, and the corporatised unions. As the statement explains, it is inextricably tied to the International Committee of the Fourth International’s fight for a socialist and internationalist perspective, and is based on a global strategy. We invite feedback from Chinese readers.
