How is the International Communist Current (ICC) in terms of being a revolutionary organization? Would you join it, why or why not? I would like to hear the criticisms of it. Thanks comrades
The main criticisms are that they fetishise theory above any action, and that they are more of a cult than a political organisation.
Certainly their behaviour around the UK anarchist movement is entirely parasitical - they make no contribution to any of the causes anarchists are involved in, but instead turn up at anarchist events giving everyone the benefit of their correct analysis. It also tends to be an extremely long winded analysis!
One of the main critiques of their cultism is:

Finally they tend to hunt in packs on discussion forums like this. As soon as this debate gets going, look out for most of their active membership posting (often the same people under different user names) and the bizarre sight of different ICC posters offering "solidarity" to one another on various subjects!
