The abrupt abandonment of the longstanding approach to the national question by the Seventh International Conference of the International Communist League (ICL - formerly the international Spartacist tendency [iSt]) has major (many as yet unelaborated) programmatic implications. It is difficult to overstate the political importance for the ICL of the dramatic turn represented by the main conference document, "The Struggle Against the Chauvinist Hydra" which repudiates the iSt/ICL's previous refusal to capitulate to "Third World" nationalism - a stance that distinguished the group from its pseudo-revolutionary competitors for decades. The former policy is now simply dismissed as "chauvinism."
