MILITANT RALLY IN FRONT OF THE SYRIAN EMBASSY IN ARGENTINA

June 7th, 2012

Walter Montoya, a leader of Democracia Obrera (Workers Democracy)

Good evening, comrades. We are finally here. And as you see the Bolivarians are the escorts of the fascists of Al-Assad. Not only Chavez sells them oil but also Kirchner with his murderous police takes care of them so that we cannot reach the door of the Syrian Embassy.
They all know very well that in North Africa and Middle East there are not mere mobilizations or revolutions "for democracy." They know very well that the masses are fighting for bread and in their fight for bread the exploited masses have opened a chain of worker and socialist revolutions throughout North Africa and Middle East, which by the hand of the Greek exploited threatens to enter the heart of imperialist Europe.

 Today these Menemist rats of the Syrian-Lebanese bourgeoisie, guarded by Al-Assad’s police that is the same Kirchner’s police in Argentina, accuse us of being supporters to imperialism. That same slander was raised by the World Social Forum and all its organizations worldwide accusing the Libyan people of being armed by imperialism. This calumny was destroyed by the Libyan masses themselves who made murderous Qaddafi’s head roll down. Precisely this slander had the objective of isolating the Libyan masses, its aim was politically enclosing the Syrian working class and exploited masses so Al-Assad, on behalf of imperialism, the whole Arab League and the Zionist rats of the fascist state of Israel, could massacre the greatest vanguard that raised up in Middle East to continue the Palestinian struggle. They are the slaughtered Syrian masses of Homs, Deraa, Damascus, and Idlib that once again raise up and do not surrender.

This is what make them go crazy, this is what fill them with despair. They were waiting for the surrender of the exploited; but there is no surrender here because the masses have conquered the conditions for fighting. Nobody gave them the conditions as a gift.
From Europe, form USA and the rest  of the Americas they told us that “there are no conditions” for marching  for Syria. But the masses, in the worst of situations, beside common graves full of their beloved ones, stood up again and went on fighting from the debris of the bombed working class neighborhoods.  This stubborness of the Syrian masses is the reality that obliges imperialists to prepare with the help of the UNO, Hu Jintao, Putin and the Arab League each time a superior massacre.
Though, comrades, Beware! Because once al Assad has done the “dirtiy job”, imperialism willo try to enter Syria with the UNO. We cannot allow it to do that. We already know them. We aready know how they act. They are tose which have worked always as caretakers of the Zinost borders, beccause they are afraid, very afraid that the Palesinian masses turn again to the streets, burn once more the police stations of Fatah and Hamas, arming themselves and sweeping away the Zionist State of Israel for good.
Because today the siege was broken in the north of Syria, from Hatay, -which is an old Syrian province that since 1939 is in the hands of Turkish imperialists- and form Lebanon, with the insurrectin and the revolts of the masses.
The siege we are not breaking it here: it has began to be broken by the masses, as for example the 400 mosques in Tunisia that have sent their youth with the Quran under their armpits to combat in Syria; or the Libyan exploited in Bengazhi, Tripoli and Misratah that did not wait for anyone to act and armed the militas and the international brigades sending them to fight in Syria, as happened in the ‘30s in the Spanish Civil War.
That’s why it is a shame that the international worker brigadas aren’t yet standing up, organizad as they were for example in argentina in the ‘30s, when comrades of the bakers union travelled to Sapin with nurses and Money, in support of the struggle against Franco’s fascism. What are we waiting for, that we don’t carry just now this motion to the working class?

Because what unifies us, the world’s exploited, to fight alongside the Syrian masses is not merely the struggle against imperialism. That is a common notion that we share, they are the same massacrers there and here. But in the same way that in the 19th Century we were united by an international fight for the 8 hours, today in order to conquer bread, what unifies us is the fight for the worker and socialist revolution, so that the working class seizes the power.
Thanks, comrades.
