International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organizations

International association of communist parties and organizations

The International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organizations (ICOR) is an association of more than 40 "autonomous, independent and self-reliant" communist parties and organizations. ICOR is composed heterogeneously, in light of the specific programs of its member organizations. It was founded on 6 October 2010.[1]

Goals

The aim of ICOR is to overcome the "imperialist world system" in a "revolutionary transformation" and to establish the "dictatorship of the proletariat". ICOR follows "an open-door policy" to other organizations seeking similar goals.[1]

In their work, ICOR is based on the assumption that socialism in the Soviet Union was destroyed in 1956 and the country was transformed from within into a capitalist system by a "new class of bureaucrats" which had taken over the power.[1]

Bridging the divide

ICOR is made up of various organizations of differing sizes, compositions, and ideologies.[2]

ICOR believes that establishing a joint ideological and political line takes a long process based on joint field experience from developing "cooperation in a few essential questions [...] to cooperation in all essential matters."[3]

The heterogeneity of the organization, according to the ICOR, has its origins in the fragmentation and division of the worldwide Marxist-Leninist and labour movement since the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956[1] and in the very different evolution of social conditions in the different countries.

Internationally ICOR cooperates with the International League for People's Struggle (ILPS) through the Anti-Imperialist and Anti-Fascist United Front (AIAFUF), which is planned to be formally launched in early 2021.[4]

Reconstruction in Kobanê

In 2015 ICOR organized International Brigades for contributing to the reconstruction of the Syrian Kurdish town Kobanê, which had suffered severe damages by heavy attacks of the Islamic State. From June to October 2015 volunteers from several countries are supposed to build a new hospital.[5][6][7][8]
