THE INFAMOUS REGIME OF 1853-1994 CONSTITUTION STRENTGH ALL THE INSTITUTIONS

With the legislative polls on  October 27th, the bourgeoisie will advance to re-legitimate and strength the entire regime of the reactionary Constitution of 1853-1994. And their whole institutions as: the justice that commands the attack against the working class ordering repressions, imprisoning workers and chasing more than 6.500 fighters; the Army that now with the gendarmerie are occupying military a workers slums and with the Army in Rio Gallegos (Santa Cruz) they kicked out the workers families that occupied the lands due to the need to build houses; and the boss political parties that years before they were left completely des-legitimated before the eyes of the masses.
As soon as they end up counting the last vote, the capitalists will double their starvation, misery and repression offensive against the workers. They prepare more repression, persecutions and putting in jails against the workers vanguard; increase the high cost of living and inflation; more miserable wages and labour slavery; more plundering of the nation.
The boss justice is leading the attack. With a prepared trial, testimonies ripped under torture and a Videlist court, they want to condemn to life sentence and jail 11 workers of Las Heras who fought against the wage on tax (income tax) and the labour outsourced on December 12th. In that way, they want to mark a decisive point, they will go after the heads of 6.500 processed fighters to punish the entire workers.
That’s how they want to keep the iron control over the workers movement that was made before by the trade union bureaucracy of CGT and CTA that is now in crisis and weakened. That’s because after they played the role of prison guard, with their gunmen attacking the most advanced fights of the working class in Argentina (Casino, Dana, French Hospital, Subway, Railworkers, among others) murdering the young Mariano Ferreyra, selling out all the conquests in the fake bargain table, leaving at the mercy of a terrible super exploitation and with no right the contracted workers and illegal workers, and giving the back to the unemployed workers… today they are hated and repudiated by the entire working class
The transactional figurehead and lackeys of imperialism politics prepare more wood against the exploited. In that Kirchner and the opposition that today fight for the booty of the businesses, completely agree.
The Left Front wasted months of electoral campaign to regroup the workers and youth vanguard with the objective tp ORGANIZE A FIGHT NOW. That’s because as soon as they finish up counting the last ballot, what will come from the bourgeoisie and their politics, won’t be more “democracy”, but a double lunge against the people and the deepening of the most merciless dictatorship of the capital in the factories and establishments. Because Argentina after having paid, with the blood and sweat of the workers and the people U$S 173 thousand of million to the imperialist bankers because of the fraudulent foreign debt, it still owes 200 thousand million dollars. The right wing of Cristina Kirchner declared herself as “serial payer”, and will do it over the bones and martyrdom of the workers and exploited.
Over the people more oppression will fall; the ruin of the public health and education; more decay of the entire structure of the country, because of the disinvestment and the insatiable thirst of earnings of the capitalists, we die when it rains and our neighborhoods flood (La Plata) or when we travel as cattle in the trains (Once- Sarmiento Railway). And the ones that most will suffer it are our youth, who already count in their ranks with more than a million and a half who don’t work and haven’t got access to education. The CEO of the great companies affirm that they are a “marginal mass that this capitalism that we’ve built can’t use it to generate wealth, and it is nothing more that a nuisance”. (Clarín, 18/10/13)
The boss politicians will deepen the kneeling of our country to the imperialist domain, giving that way a leap in the colonization of the oppressed nation. In this way, they guarantee their super profits and millionaire businesses to Wall Street parasites that are the ones who have the 90% of the banks, lands and factories with the best technology and productive forces, and the main resorts of the Argentinean economy. Out of Argentina and the entire continent the bankers and transnational companies of Wall Street!
There is no solution for Argentina or for the oppressed people of Latin America if we don’t kick out Wall Street and its international financial oligarchy!
The world financial oligarchy and the capitalist parasites that from the eight squares in Wall Street dominate and manage the world economy with 1.300 companies and great banks, they want to generalize to the entire countries maquillas and jail factories to enslave even more the working class. In USA, leaded by Obama, the “Republicrats” –that single party of Republicans and Democrats-, has left suspended for more than 15 day 800 thousand state workers. They want to kneel the North American workers, putting 45 million workers to live with U$S 3 daily, leaving the proletariat in the worst conditions of their existence.
In Latin America the entire native bourgeoisie, as junior partner and loyal servants of Wall Street, are the ones that imposed the highest subjugation of the continent in its entire history. Both FTA governments as the Bolivarian” ones, to the whom the “anti-imperialist” chatter has ended, today attack mercilessly the workers, the poor peasants and the entire exploited ones, throwing the crisis of capitalism to the masses. With these governments didn’t come the “national freedom” and much less the “socialism”; with them what it came was the capitalist restoration in Cuba by the hand of the Castro’s brothers, Chavez and Wall Street; it came the disarm and deliver of the Colombian workers and peasants resistance; it came the huge indebtedness of the states despite that for more than 10 years fabulous sums were paid for the foreign debts.
CELAC, UNASUR, MERCOSUR and ALBA are the business board which administrates the interests of Wall Street and the entire imperialist pirates. The “Bolivarian” governments that presented themselves as the friends of people, after expropriating and diverting the revolutions that shook the continent at the beginning of the 21st Century, they dropped their mask and they attacked the masses with the worst privatization plans and of removal of their conquests. Dilma Roussef and PT are applying a privatization plan of the state companies, as Morales do in Bolivia with the mining company in Huanuni and do Humala in Peru dismissing and repressing the workers. Venezuela is bleed itself in the huge economic crisis, there is shortage of food and the masses have nothing to consume; being the Bolivarian government with Maduro the one applying the starvation plans of imperialism. The Bolivarian governments are transforming the entire continent in a true FTA, the Bush’s dream with NAFTA, at the service of the Yankees pirates. Down with the fake “Bolivarian revolution” that only got starvation and kneeling of our nations to imperialism!
The bandit cave of Wall Street is destroyed by the fight of the international working class and the Socialist revolution
It is necessary to kick them out as we did in 2001… but this time so they don’t come back
This concentrated and ruthless attack from the capitalists is not possible to stop it with a parliamentary seat. This was more than shown, for example, in Neuquen legislature, where it initialed the agreement YPF- Chevron, acting in fact as a clerk of Wall Street, selling out the Vaca Muerta reservoir oil to imperialism. These plundering plans are faced with a revolutionary struggle of the masses as did our class brothers in Brazil, with the revolution as in Libya conquering our own power bodies, with Occupy Wall Street that showed to the exploited of the world who are the main enemies. They are regrouping the working class and the masses to fight for the power of the exploited with the Socialist Revolution. The imperialist bourgeoisie only gives something when it is afraid of losing everything.
Revolutionary Marxists intervene in elections and parliament of the exploiters, to tell this elementary truth to the working class. To tell to the masses that "the liberation of the workers is a task of the workers themselves", and that’s why we have to fight to conquer self-organizing bodies and of direct democracy, to fight in the streets and in the factories to destroy the power of the bourgeoisie. Because what it is needed is a new "Cordobazo" and a new "December 20 of 2001", but this time taken to succeed  tearing down stone by stone of this infamous reactionary regime of the Constitution 1853-1994, and setting up a Workers and Popular Government based on the struggling masses. In order to organize this fight today, workers must break with the political bosses agents of Wall Street, as FPV, PJ, UCR, UNITE, PRO and FAP, and take the fight on our hands to conquer an independent class policy, regrouping our ranks to fight agaisnt the attack of the government, the opposition and transnational companies.
A MILLION WORKERS AND YOUTH ALREADY VOTED AND WILL VOTE FOR THE LEFT
There is not time to waste, the attack is here
NOW IT IS NECESSARY TO REGROP THE MILITANT WORKER ORGANIZATIONS
The ones from below need a…
FIGHTING WORKER FRONT!
TO PREPARE THE FIGHT AGAISNT THE GOVERNMENT, IMPERIALISM, THE BOSSES AND THE UNION BUREUCRACY!
The million votes to the Left Front and MAS in PASO showed that a strip of workers broke with the boss parties and the union bureaucracy. The conditions to join the ranks of the workers are being created by the exploited with their struggle, as the teachers’ strike in Chubut, the teachers’ 48-hour strike in Buenos Aires, the strike of the bus line 60, the anti-imperialist struggle of Neuquenenans workers and students against YPF - Chevron agreement, and exemplary workers processed, relatives and friends of Las Heras call for a Congress of militant workers and students on October 12 to unite the struggle for freedom and dropp the charges of all workers. If the Left Front had proposed it, it would have taken this example of self-organization of workers and their families of Las Heras, to all provinces, crowning with a large National Labor Congress of all struggle organizations of the exploited.
Millions of workers and youth will vote for the candidates of the Left Front because no boss deserves our vote. But the fight to set up a Struggle Workers Front is in our hands, at the hands of the workers and youth, their assemblies, pickets, our comrades and combative factory delegates. Because the Left Front has already shown that they do not want to organize these forces.
It is up to the youth and advanced workers that we know the urgent need to regroup, the task to join forces to organize a big fight. Because there won’t be with votes how the attack of transnational companies of Wall Street, the government and bosses will be stop, but with a revolutionary struggle of the working class and the exploited, uprising as in 2001 and the "Cordobazo".
Down with the union bureaucracy!
A step forward to the assemblies, the rank and file workers and the democracy for the ones who fight!
It's time to take advantage of the weakening of the rotten bureaucracy to kick it out from our organizations. There is no time to waste. The ones from bellow must self-orginize and decide our fate. Down the union bureaucracy of CGT and CTA! We must take again the tradition of Classism the 70s! We must fight as in "SITRAC-SITRAM",  "Cordobazo", "Villazo" and Interfabriles Coordinators of '70s! it is necessary to conquer the workers' democracy! Out the state and bosses of the labor organizations! Down with Professional Associations Law! Down with the bargain negotiation table! Workers organize ourselves as we want!
It's high time that the youth and militant workers take in our hands the fight to organize a unified struggle for wages, education, health, housing and against imperialism and their transnational companies conquering a single statement of demands: Down with the bargain negotiation table and all wage agreements signed by the union bureaucracy at the back of the workers! Minimum-vital-index wage of $10,000 for everyone! Equal work, equal wages for working women and immigrant workers! Against the income tax and job insecurity! For decent job and everyone with full right work for the contracted, outsourced and paid under the table! Slidding scale of hours, 6 hours of working time and one another shift of all the workplaces for the unemploy workers to get job!
For the freedom of Las Heras and Corral de Bustos workers! Drop the charges to the 6,500 fighters persecuted!
For the nationalization without compensation and under workers control of every factory which closes, suspends or fires! It is necessary to ignore the fraudulent foreign debt at the hands of the bankers who expropriated the workers and Argentina people! We must break with imperialism! It is necessary to expropriated without payment the bankers, transnational companies and the oligarchy, so that the working class can eat and live with dignity!
It is necessary to fight preparing the path to the General Strike!
 “Everyone out, nobody  left!”
Argentina will be socialist or will be colony!
