Zimbabwe

The regime of Mugabe, ZANU PF and MDC prepare a new trap against the exploited with the elections

To fight for bread work and against the imperialist plunder it is necessary to unify the workers ranks
National Congress of employed workers unemployed workers the militant youth and the poor peasants!  

The great revolution that started in North of Africa and Middle East put on question the imperialist interest and their junior partner, the native bourgoisie in the entire continent.  The imperialism knows it and is afraid that the socialsit and worker revolution that is on in the North of Africa and Middle East gets into the entire black Subsaharian Africa.
This is how it started when the Niger working class upsurges with a great revolutioanry general strike at the war cry of: “Out Jonathan or die like Khadafy!”
The bourgoisie and the imperialism recruit all their agents to prevent the revolution reaching the entire black Africa.  For that reason in 2011 the African Social Forum met in Zimbabwe and Zambia.  The aim was to support and legimize the regimes of the South of Africa and in this way to siege the revolution in the north of the continent and Middle East. It is necessary to break the siege that the social imperialsit and reformist leadership impose so the fight of the exploited ones of Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe come back!

In Zimbabwe, Mugabe himself warned that he will kill any one who dares to do in Zimbabwe a new Libya. However, despite of the warnings the jailer regime of Mugabe-MDC got tough worker fights for bread, work and agaisnt the imperialist plunder.  The state workers last year paralyzed the entire state establishment with a general strike that lasted over a week for increase of salaries in order to eat and have housing.  In April, in Marange, dimonds camp in Zimbabwe, the mine workers of Anjin company (one of the biggest mine companies) made a strike for two days and they got a 25% increase of wages.  Some week ago, the council worekrs of Kadoma rise up occupying the Council agasint the MDC because they did not get their wages.
Now, the entire Zimbabwe bourgoisie is defining weather to run for presidential elections or not. Mugabe ZANU-PF will call the elections despite the different regional organism as SADC and Africa Union, who said that only could have elections if between the different parts of the government, between ZANU-PF and MDC, agree to call them.  MDC place as “democratic” stated that it is necessary to make a change on the constitution so the elections can take place.
This entire circus is to see if they can at least legitimize some of the parts of the National Unity Government which is much discredited before the masses since the unique thing it guarantees is great profit for the transnational and the maximum misery for the masses. If the elections are done, they would be totally undemocratic, since there are no going to be any candidate of any working current due to the economic and legal restrictions.  They are preparing a true trap against the exploded ones.

Zimbabwe is a true reserve of enslaved labour force, to be used mainly in South Africa and the rest of the continent. Whereas the bourgeoisie makes this circus, the unemployment tends to increase more and more, where it reaches near 90% and the ones that have work do it in terrible conditions. There is neither health system nor public education. The inflation, which already destroyed the national currency 3 years ago, makes the life conditions unbearable of the life. Most of the country does not have power supplying and gas and there is water only in the cities. This could not be kept without a true outlawing and persecution against the exploited ones and its organizations by Mugabe regime and its repressive forces.
They did it against the workers of the mine Anjin, last August the police forces and the private security shot and struck the miners. Six left leaders put a video on the Egyptian revolution were put in jailed.

This is the so called democracy of the “people” that ZANU PF and MDC talks about.  For the working class repression, unemployment, lack of health, education and housing.
Enough! Disolution of the repressive police! For self defense committees in order to fight agaisnt the brutal repression! Inmidiate freedom without charges to all worker and popular fighters in jail for fighting and confront the jailer regime of Mugabe-MDC!

In order to conquer the class independence we cannot fight divided. Against the unemployment and the high cost of living, it is necessary to fight immediately for: Work for all! Slidding scale of wages and working hours! All the available hands to produce! For vital and index minimum wage of U$800 and decent work for all!
We must unify the ranks of the employed workers with the unemployed worker: It is necessary to set up unemploy workers committees and factory committees of the wide hungry masses from the country and the city For a National Congress of employed workers, unemployed workers, militant youth and poor peasants, with a delegate every 100!

The immense majority of the population in Zimbabwe lives with less than 1 dollars per day, in a country where there is fertile lanf to feed the entire Africa and where the government takes its rent of the bloody diamond and the fabulous superprofit taken by imperialism and the transnational. Enough of plundering! In order to get bread, it is necessary to expropriate without payment and under worker control the transnational, the bankers and the landlords! Out the imperialist transnationals! Expropriation without payment and under workers control of all the miners and the imperialist goods! Expropriation without payment and under workers control of the land to share among the ones who work it without exploiting other workers! Expropriation without payment and under workers control of the transnationals and banks, beginning by the Anglo American! There it is the money to guarantee work, wages, housing, the health and food! Out with Mugabe, ZANU-PF, MDC and all the boss parties!
For a revolutionary general strike that swipe away with the repressive government! It is necessary to set up the power of the exploded ones, the single and the legitimate power that will guarantee all the demands of the Zimbabwe masses, expropriating the bourgeoisie and imperialism! For a worker and poor peasant government!

The workers of Zimbabwe are used by the imperialistic transnational and the native bourgeoisies of South Africa and the rest of the south of the continent as cheap labour force. Our fight must upsurge the workers of all Africa. COSATU of South Africa breaks with the bourgeoisie and set up a Worker Union of the entire south of Africa which regroups the employed workers, unemployed workers and immigrant workers. Long live the unity of the working class of Africa! It is necessary to fight as in Libya, Syria and the rest of Middle East and North Africa.
Out the Khadafys and Jonathan of the entire Africa! Down with Zuma and the ANC, Mugabe, Rajoelina, FRELIMO of Mozambique, the NTC of Libya and all the pro imperialist governements of Africa! Out with the World Social Forum of Africa which came to impose the surrender and submission of the workers to the imperialism! The true black republic will be set up without the imperialist transnational and the enslaved bosses, setting up the power of the working class and the expploited ones self organized and armed from Abuja to Cape Town and from East the West! For a unify fight of the workers and exploited ones of South of Africa together with their class brother and sister of the rest of Afric and Middle East so its fight can get into the imperialist Europe!
