A discussion of war under capitalism and the need for the internationalism of the working class. The 'Great War' was supposed to be the 'war to end war'. More than a century later, the war is still ongoing. It is, essentially, the same war that began in 1914: the war between the great capitalist powers to divide the world between them. Some of the actors have changed, but the underlying dynamic remains the same. As long as capitalism survives, the war will go on. In 1914, the internationalists called the workers of the world to take up arms, not against their fellow workers but against the entire social order responsible for the universal murder. Their cause then remains ours today. We hope that the workshop will allow an open discussion on the relevance of revolutionary defeatism today in general, and with regard to the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East in particular.
