This will be an opportunity for around 200 delegates from all over the world to meet and exchange views.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>We note that the world is particularly complicated to grasp at the moment, with the multiple crises that capitalism is experiencing, combining economic, social, political and ecological crises, the rise of the far right, and so on. Comparing the situations in different countries, as we are doing by exchanging texts and organizing discussions in all the countries before we meet for the congress, is extremely useful for better analysis and action.<\/p>\n<p>To meet these challenges, we are discussing a new Manifesto for the Fourth International based on our ecosocialist orientation and outlining the world we want to build. We will also discuss the state of the world as it is around our international resolution with two specific focuses on Palestine and Ukraine, our activity in the social movements of the exoploited and oppressed where we build class struggle forces, and of course strengthening our own International.<\/p>\n<p>Organizing a congress costs a lot of money, because we have to have a residential centre where the delegates are housed, a full team of interpreters and secretariat, and subsidize comrades from the Global South &#8211; from Asia, Africa, Latin America &#8211; for their transport tickets, which have become much more expensive since the covid pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>If you can contribute financially, please make your transfers to<\/p>\n<p>Account Name: A.F.E.S.I.<\/p>\n<p>(Association pour la Formation, l&#8217;Education, la Solidarit\u00e9 Internationale)<\/p>\n<p>IBAN: BE03 0013 9285 0884<\/p>\n<p>BIC\/SWIFT code: GEBABEBB<\/p>\n<p>And of course, take part in the discussions in your country!<\/p>\n<p>A video :<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/fb.watch\/vD3eKIZ8Gk\/\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DB6ABVOKxyw\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DB6ABVOKxyw\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SbNvi751B6I?feature=shared\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/SbNvi751B6I?feature=shared<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F2384&print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F2384&print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fourth International is organizing its world congress in February 2025.
