International Communist Seminar

The International Communist Seminar (ICS) is an annual communist conference held in Brussels, Belgium on May 2-4. It is organized by the Workers' Party of Belgium.[1]

In 1992, Ludo Martens, leader of the Workers' Party of Belgium, initiated the conference, which gathers various tendencies of Marxist-Leninist parties and organizations. He is noted for having proposed the unification of the four main tendencies of the Marxist-Leninist movement. These are the pro-Soviet groups, the pro-Chinese, the pro-Albanian, and pro-Cuban.[2] About 150 organizations of Africa, Latin America, North America, Asia and Europe have taken part in it. For four years, from 1992 to 1995, the ICS worked on identifying "the true causes of the capitalist restoration in Soviet Union" and in Eastern Europe and to draw lessons from it for the future.[1]
