We have recently published a comprehensive evaluation of the internationalist conference that took place at the end of May 2023 by one of its initiators, together with the invitation letter and the (earlier) first accounts by Internationalist Perspective (IP) and Critique Grand Large.
Albeit with a considerable delay, we hope to have sufficiently informed our readers to acquire a preliminary understanding of the character and scope, and of the discussions at the meetings of this first international conference since long. We intend to publish further relevant documents and contributions as far as possible.
In this article we comment on certain repercussions that this initiative has been confronted with as soon as a public notice of its tenure had been given by IP as one of its organizers, namely its denunciation by Aníbal and Fredo Corvo in their joint publication as “a travesty of an international conference” (July 25, 2023) and its sequel.
At the end of May 2023, an international conference was held in Brussels, bringing together some twenty participants from six countries (USA, UK, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands) with references to the historical internationalist communist Left. At the initiative of Internationalist Perspective and Controverses, they were able to debate for two full days.
Documenting the invitation criteria and aims of the conference; its composition, agenda and the discussions at its meetings, this section assembles the respective evaluations made by its initiators and some participants, starting with the invitation letter.
