Proletarian Internationalism against Imperialism and War (Documents)

Statements and Positions against the First World War (1914 – 1918)

In view of discussions on the current escalation of imperialist confrontations and the tendency towards a reconfiguration of imperialist alliances and blocs, this section collects a number of historical documents that express the demarcation of the proletarian, internationalist camp from opportunism and centrism, in its struggle against capitalism and imperialism since the First World War (1914 – 1918).

We intend to reproduce or reference these documents from verified sources and/or translations. Where a published translation appears inadequate, we provide our own. The documents are listed chronologically and their sources are provided.

Propositions and assistance are welcome.
