1º de Mayo de 2015:

For a day of internationalist combat of the working class against the rotten capitalist imperialist world system!

Enough of fake lefts, servants of Obama, the head of the imperialist bandits! 
Enough of World Social Forum and the "new left", which work for the surrender of the revolution and are usurping the name of socialism!

Let's stand up alongside the revolution of the Yemeni workers and peasants!
Stand up next to the Greek rebellious youth and workers who do not yield to the siren song of Syriza, a treacherous "new left" that is actually the left arm of Morgan banking managers and the European Union!
Stand up alongside the Ukrainian working class that fights in the Donbass and revolt in Kiev!
Let's remain standing next to the American working class that is confronting Obama, the head of the US imperialist butchers!

Open the way to the working class of color, that is fighting the murderous police of Obama's police in the United States and against the fascist gangs of the Anglo-American in South Africa and is confronting there its managers and police for their demands for salary and dignity with the heroic pickets of Marikana!
Open the way to the Syrian resistance, which does not surrender in Aleppo, which has recovered Idlib and is seeking to get to Damascus to crush war criminal Bashar and defend their Palestinian sisters and brothers  massacred in their thousands in the Yarmouk refugee camp!
Stand up next to rebel militias of Libya and the working class of the entire Maghreb and the Middle East, seeking to recover their revolution thousand times betrayed, thousand times massacred from Tunisia to Jerusalem!
Let's stand up next to the Palestinian masses which are long struggling against the occupation Zionist-fascist State of Israel!

The "martyrs of Chicago"  of today are in the 500 clandestine prisons the CIA and Obama have in the world, as for example the prisoners in Guantanamo who have been enduring humiliation and torture for years. The "martyrs of Chicago" today are the prisoners tortured by the Mossad and Zionism in occupied Palestine. The "martyrs of Chicago" today are the Basque prisoners being held in the dungeons of the Bourbons and the imperialist assassins of the French Fifth Republic; they are the Greek rebel youth who are left in the prisons of Athens by their "left" jailers of Syriza; they are sentenced to life imprisonment as the oil workers of Las Heras. 
They are no longer just 7 martyrs as in 1886. Hundreds of thousands are the martyrs of the working-class crushed by the imperialist counter-revolution in true genocides and counter-revolutionary punches.

It has been already demonstrated that in this time of crisis, wars and revolutions, the capitalist system cannot give either work or feed its slaves. The 8 hours' work-time has been long lost. All partial conquests that we achieved with enormous revolutionary struggles, if we do not move to the seizure of power, will inevitably be lost.
This global capitalist system survives with wars, developing destructive forces and developing the most brutal parasitism of the cartels and the imperialist bankers. It is survives by leaving outside of the productive process more than 800 millions of workers since the last crash of 2008.

The world market has shrunk. Capitalists cannot even make work their factories and machines. Parasites of the City of London, Wall Street and other imperialist bankers have squandered and spent the value of assets which have not yet been produced by human labor. With the cartels, they increase or decrease, as it suits them, the prices of oil, grains, minerals, no matter the consequences of famines and shortages and the skyrocketing cost of life that this causes for the workers of the world. They issue inflated papers of bad debts and, with their imperialist States and through the IMF and World Bank imposed loans, fictitiously create bad external debts of the colonial and semi-colonial countries.
Here and there they show profits, growth and new technologies, when in reality the absolute majority of the planet plunges into poverty, exploitation, backwardness and barbarism.

The so called "New technologies" are a byproduct of the industry of war, whose investment is made paid by the imperialist States with starvation for the workers. Their (actually partial and limited)"technological advances", are nothing more than devices to lay off workers and make produce the remaining ones twice in the same or more workhours; though the real technological advances have already long ago created the conditions of productivity enough to reduce working hours by half and give food and work up to the last of the inhabitants of the planet.

Let's expose so many hoaxes and lies to the workers of the world! The "Technological advances" being now developed by this system in rot are drones, atomic submarines, simulators of "Star Wars" and murdering at long distance ("virtual combating"), i.e. the development of destructive forces and the most brutal parasitism of a handful of bankers and shareholders who live on "cutting coupons" of their shares in the transnational corporations and the cartels, looting and raping thousands of millions of slaves in the world.
For now a long while this system deserves to perish. And it has not done so because the capitalists have bought a section of their class enemy: the labor aristocracy and bureaucracy that defend it from the hatred and the revolutionary uprising of the masses.

 

Enough already of fake Socialists, sellouts of the revolution! 

In 1989 Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and the Stalinist bureaucracy ended their task of handing out the world revolution and the conquest of the Soviet Union to imperialism, i.e., to Thatcher and Reagan. In that same year, the party of the "red entrepreneurs" of Beijing, by massacring thousands of workers and young people in Tiananmen Square, finished opening the doors to transnational corporations to enslave hundreds of millions of Chinese workers.

This May 1st. 2015, at the Summit of the Americas, the Castro brothers and the new Cuban bourgeoisie, after strangling the Latin American Revolution; fencing with the WSF the heroic revolutionary processes of the Maghreb and the Middle East; supporting Obama (who is facing harsh struggles by the working class of US - from the laid off oil workers to the workers in the fast-food chains, from the African American young people killed by the police to the outraged immigrant workers); in short, after so many betrayals, have received their award: the former Castroite bureaucracy turned into new bourgeoisie has already become direct agents of Wall Street bankers on the island and have completed their sellout of Cuba to imperialism.
In this 1 may 2015, the March in Havana's Revolution Square will be led by bourgeois commanders of Cuban Stalinism, by their children members of the management boards of the imperialist firms and they shall render (with the Pope's blessing) homage to Obama, the head of Wall Street and the imperialist gang that goes on plundering the planet.
Enough of WSF and sellers of the revolution, mercenaries from capital inside the labor organizations!
Out of the unions the labor bureaucracies, servants of the bourgeoisie!
Out with the sellouts of socialism, the "red entrepreneurs" of Beijing and Havana, as the Castro brothers transformed into partners of Coca Cola and Cargill!

 

The World Social Forum already cannot even pose as anti-imperialist or allied to the workers
Now, comes a "new left", which aims to complete the former's work in disrupting the international working class fighting

When the FSM, the Bolivarian bourgeoisie, the Iranian Ayatollahs, waste of Stalinism and social democracy, NGOs and other puppets of imperialism are exposed as enemies of the working class as they go diverting, disorganizing, betraying and even slaughtering openly the huge struggle and revolutionary processes of the world working class as in the Maghreb and the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, China...

While the Castro brothers are surrendering Cuba to imperialism and proclaiming Obama, the representative of the financial super oligarchy of Wall Street, as their Chief... from the bowels of the capitalist system, it builds and puts on foot a "new world left"  so to keep doing the "dirty work" of deceiving the workers, betraying their struggles and selling the revolutionary processes.
Old World Social Forum shams, touting the "market socialism" or "21st century socialism" have unmasked. What they seek to do is to defend decadent capitalism and the rot of Wall Street and the imperialist capital that are looting the world.
The global crash of 2008 blew up the fire of the revolution on the planet. And there are still flames. The agents of capital have to finish them off, so imperialism can settle its counteroffensive and moderate its own crisis.
Already it has been demonstrated in Latin America, in the Middle East, with Chinese murderers mandarins, with assassins like Putin, that the native bourgeoisie always end up kneeling before the real heads of their businesses, their imperialist masters. They assassinated at close range in the Maghreb and the Middle East, they crushed iron and fire tens of thousands of riots in China. They gave in the Latin American Revolution and, as evidenced by Chavezism, with the attacks on the masses by the Government of Maduro they are the largest enemies of the Venezuelan working class, while together with the Castro brothers, are handing over the Colombian resistance.  The role of the reformist left and labor bureaucracies is subjecting the workers to their executioners, whether "natives" in the semi-colonial world, or by pretending that looters and counterrevolutionaries as Obama, Hollande and other imperialist Pirates of oppressed peoples are "progressive" and "democratic".

A "new left" enters the stage set up with waste from the program of the WSF, Stalinism and social democracy

In Greece with Syriza, in 24 hours power and the Presidency has returned to the reactionary right of HSBC and Greek imperialistic banking. With their justices, they have freed the fascists of the Golden Dawn and maintained in prison the rebellious youth.
With the "Socialists" of General Pinochet in Chile the struggle for free and public education and the nationalization of copper under the control of the workers is being choked; and this "left" promises laws and consultations, which are no more than lies and deception to disorganize the revolutionary worker-student offensive to get the masses out of the streets.
In Bolivia, the experience was short-lived. With the collaborationist COB bureaucracy, waste of the Renegades of Trotskyism put on foot a political instrument of the workers (IPT) to offset the tendency to the reopening of the revolutionary struggle of the Bolivian masses, and it ended afterwards supporting the Government of Morales, ally of the Morgan banking, and dissolving the COB in a bourgeois party as is the MAS.
In Argentina, the "left front" (FIT) has divided the best of the working class. It has led its vanguard to the cruelest defeats. Meanwhile, they are united in common electoral lists, announcing that from the den of bandits of the Argentine Parliament (Wall Street figurehead) or the courts with judges named by Videla, worker demands can be achieved. This dumb parliamentary policy, truly Social Democratic only allowed the strengthening of the trade union bureaucracy and their gunmen, ending once again in the assassination of workers claiming only for a decent job, as Reynaldo Vargas in the south of Argentina.

Allies of this flourishing "new left" already played their entire role in Brazil, dividing the working class and their fighting organizations, managing the trade unions on account of the shameful regime of the PT in Brazil.
In France and England, the "anti-capitalist" leaders of the NPA and the English SWP look the other way when traffickers of slaves as the Saudi bourgeoisie and the Khadafists of the current Government of Libya trade the lives of hundreds of thousands of desperate workers seeking to reach Europe and who die like dogs in the Mediterranean. They are the new social imperialist parties, who treat the immigrant workers as "second hand workers” and not as the heart of the European working class as they actually are. These fake "socialists" are the left of the imperialist Maastricht, which together with Spanish PODEMOS are who hold in their places the monarchy of the Bourbons in Spain and show a cold shoulder to the heroic revolutionary struggle of the miners in the Donbass.

As its partners of the World Social Forum, this "new left" is armed with the waste of the program of old Stalinism and proimperialist social democracy. They are at an angle of 180 degrees even with the fighting given by the world working class at the end of the 19th century. This was never given anything by any boss. From the beginning, the working class got their most elemental conquests, as the workday of 8 hours, through huge revolutionary struggles and world-wide general strikes. This shows that the bourgeoisie is only willing to give up something when it sees that it can lose everything. Moreover, the only possibility to keep the conquests - as we can see and suffer the workers of the world - is fighting for all... that is, taking the power.
The "new left" is not at all anti-capitalist because it is not fighting for socialist revolution, much less for expropriating the expropriators of the people as the sole condition that could make workers eat and not only keep their conditions but go beyond.

 

The "new left" wants to make the masses believe that this rotten system can give you prosperity and improve the living conditions of millions of exploited of the world

They want the workers to believe that we were wrong when we took power in the twentieth century in the Soviet Union, in China, in Cuba, in the East of Europe, in Viet Nam. They lie! With these revolutions we got vast conquests: we were able to escape the famines and backwardness, to eat, to have work, land and dignity. We demonstrated that workers could take power and change history. We could have made it in the aftermath of the Second World War in most of the imperialist countries, from Germany to France, from Italy to Greece. It was the scourge of Stalinist of the USSR which saved the world capitalist system with their counter-revolutionary deals. It saved the African and Latin American bourgeoisie from huge chains of revolutions and left the worker States isolated so that they sink into a world economy dominated by imperialism. They were the rescuers of imperialist domination. 

The "new left" of today wants -the same as all the reformists- to make believe that it is neither possible nor necessary to seize power. They want to convince the masses that the working class should be an appendix of the businesses of the "democratic imperialists" or the "progressive bosses".
That was what they went to do in the Maghreb and the Middle East: to promise democracy to the masses... and what came was a real bloodbath for the exploited and the counter-revolutionary crushing of great revolutions for bread. 
Today, this "new left" wants the new generations of workers to forget that the conquests of the power by the working class were sold out by Stalinism for ailing out capitalism from its bankruptcy. And they hide this because they were partners in ' 89, they were who revived the corpse of Stalinism and returned it to life, until today that they end up covering up - as the Renegades to Trotskyism- the Castro brothers who are selling Cuba out to imperialism.

These people, from the ''new'' and from the waste of the "old" left, are who sustain all the institutions of imperialist domination of the planet. They support the Trans Pacific Treaty, where U.S. has submitted under her tutelage, along with Japan, 17 Semicolonial countries and China's "red entrepreneurs". There, the MNCs are already rubbing their hands to new businesses.
They support the Trade Agreement of the Atlantic, between the imperialist Pirates from Europe and the U.S., in the same way as they support the imperialist Maastricht. The den of traitors of the WSF and the "new left" painted bloodstained butcher Putin and slave-owning Chinese mandarins as "progressive bourgeois forces", when in reality they are only useful as assassins, murderers, surveyors and slaver traffickers of millions of workers in the world.

They want to make the workers of the world believe, as they did with the revolutions of the Maghreb and the Middle East, that imperialism advances and exploits the oppressed peoples carrying under its arm “human rights, freedom and democracy”. But the reality is that these 8 years of "democratic Obama Government" will become in History as the years when the largest massacres and genocides were perpetrated against the world working class. The masses of the Maghreb and the Middle East have been massacred, as also those of Africa and the martyred China. France has been militarized. The countries of from Eastern Europe up to Moscow are suffering the worst dictatorships and Bonapartist regimes. And, if it was not enough, beside “democratic” United States  is the bloodied Mexico, with tens of thousands of disappeared at the hands of DEA and its bands of "drug traffickers".

 

If imperialism has not gone further in its counter-revolutionary offensive it is because the masses have not allowed it. It is because the American working class, today rebelling against the imperialist war, would not allow their own bourgeoisie new military adventures as those in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both the "new" and "old" left want to show “Brown-Bush” Obama as a "good-natured" guy and a "good friend", when the only friend that the world working-class has in USA are the workers who begin to stand up in rage within the entrails of the imperialist beast.   

This system of imperialist capitalism has outlived its historical time

The 1% of parasites on the planet has captured 50% of the wealth, while 2000 billion people live outside the production process in this rotten capitalist world. The bourgeoisie has managed to temporarily leave the 2008 Wall Street catastrophe not by the inherent strength of the capitalist system but because the latter, buying the treacherous leaderships of the masses, has kept the power and the political and military control of the planet in its hands against the proletarian revolution.
The Castro brothers sweeten this rotten capitalist system with the cry of "not everything about capitalism is bad" and "not all of socialism is good". They are the new apologists of capitalism, in a moment when it has already demonstrated its brutal decline and degeneration in 2008, and caused thousands of dead, wars and famine, massacres and destruction of entire regions of the planet.

The world market has shrunk. A fierce dispute has began to develop among the imperialist powers for control and colonization of Russia and China. The imperialist powers in bankruptcy need to stay directly them with all businesses, as they pose more submission of the semi-colonial world and upper attacks on the working class in their own countries.
There is no place for reforms. The need for a new wave of socialist revolutions is more topical than ever.

Let's defeat the imposters of socialism to recover militant internationalism of the world working class to be able to fight!

The new left is the enemy to unite and coordinate the struggles at the international level. For them, every working class is subjected to its own bourgeoisie. 
But, how will the American working class be able to succeed, which has begun waves of huge fights, if they are not coordinated with its class brothers and sisters, the workers of Mexico and the rest of the Latino, when the same MNCs who exploit them have installed maquilas with slave laborers at the borders? The working class of color in the U.S., being brutally attacked by murderous police of the regime of the Republicrats, has a great ally in the millions of workers of color that revolt in South Africa and fight against transnational corporations and imperialism. There is their strength, not in their support for Obama, the head of the white imperialist butchers... and the rich Blacks!
In order to overcome, the working-class in South Africa, as all the oppressed peoples, need the American, English and European working-class. There in the southern part of Africa –as in other semi colonies- is the Anglo American, which plunders all oppressed peoples.
How will the German working class recover its 36 hours working week if not fighting alongside its class sisters and brothers of Greece against the German, Greek, etc., imperialist bankers and all the pirates and bandits of Maastricht? How could it if not fighting alongside its class sisters and brothers in the East Europe, which has been filled with maquilas and slave-workers by German imperialism?
For this reason, French workers of large automotives cannot defend their standard of living if not joining the fight of the workers from Eastern Europe, where transnational corporations have installed branches for sinking the West European workers’ wages and blackmailing with the loss of jobs.

The working class of the imperialist powers increasingly has understood more and more -as the European bankruptcy demonstrates today that was accompanied also by the loss of labor gains of American workers- that each step their own imperialist bourgeoisie advances against the workers of the colonial and semi-colonial world was accompanied by a hard blow to the conquests, wage and jobs of the workers of the central countries. 
How can the working-class worldwide recover the 8 hours workday, full employment and the living wage when hundreds of millions of workers in China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, African are subdued in prison-factories, true concentration camps, working 24/7 for a dime for the transnational corporations, and then they are afterwards carried by these same MNCs to work as slaves in the central countries?

The largest tragedy of the international working-class is that due to the social democracy in the first world war, then due to Stalinism delivering the worker states, and with the Renegades of Trotskyism destroying the Fourth International and openly breaking with Marxism, the militant internationalism of May Day has been destroyed, which arose the global labor movement back in the 19th century. 

On May 1 we must speak out. Let's retrieve the militant internationalism in the world working class! Let's prepare and organize international action for every struggle of the exploited of the planet!

We have already seen an example of this power of the exploited. Zionism in July/August last year tried to massacre in Gaza as Al-Assad had done in Syria. Though, millions of exploited took to the streets in Europe, USA and the semi-colonial world in defense of the Palestinian masses. Only thus it could be stopped, even if only for a time, the genocidal trigger of Zionism. The tragedy is that this fight did not continue and the best Palestinian fighters are rotting in the dungeons of the Mossad. 
To retrieve its militant internationalism, the working class must get rid of its current leaderships, which submit it to the bourgeoisie at every step. Because only in this way could the working class in 1886 begin huge general strikes around the world for the 8 hours and take revenge getting justice for the martyrs of Chicago.

In this May Day it is necessary to speak out and tell the truth to the masses: we are in front of a working class, Socialist and internationalist struggle. Flags of reform and revolution do not meet or mingle!
We revolutionary Trotskyists, fighters for the Fourth International and the Socialist Revolution say: “Impostors of socialism: get out from the world working class! Enough of betraying the heroic revolutions of the exploited and their day-to-day fighting on behalf of a so-called "new left" -that only seeks to save the rotten capitalist system, its Governments and regimes!
The martyrs of Chicago died fighting for the revolution of the exploited and not to save capitalism! The days of struggle of May Days was a conquest of the workers of the world, taking common actions and global general strikes against the capitalist system for an 8 hours’ working day.
In this May 1, 2015: Our flags are not coupled with those who do not even call the working class in their own countries to fight a decisive struggle against the Government of the oppressors! Nor with those that have never walked a single step for unifying the struggle of the world working class, without which there will be no conditions for the victory!
We reaffirm in this May Day, 2015: a single world working class! A single fight! Let's finish with the regimes of the oppressors to conquer bread, jobs, national independence, dignity, put an end to imperialist looting and wars with which this rotten world capitalist system holds!

Trade Union bureaucracies, the World Social Forum, the "new left", the social imperialist parties have subdued the working class to the parliaments, Governments and national States. They have broken the internationalist unity of its struggle and its combats... While the bourgeoisie and imperialism concentrates their forces and institutions of domination to crush the working class and for this rotten world capitalist regime to survive.
Reformism seeks to sweeten a rotten and smelly system.

In this May Day nobody can keep silent and not mention the brutal genocide of the 400,000 exploited in Syria, more than 10 million who are rotting in refugee camps in the desert tents. There they were born, attacked and massacred viciously by the murderer Bashar Al-Assad, armed by the gunman Putin, under the orders of Obama. This is what will be expecting to the world working class if the current imperialist offensive does not stop.

There will be neither forgetting nor forgiveness for the martyrs of Chicago or any of the workers who died in the fight against this evil world capitalist system!

In this May Day, the truth has to be said aloud: on one side, “socialist” hoaxes who defend the survival of the capitalist imperialist agonizing system; and on the other side those that, as we are for regrouping the forces of the gravediggers of capitalism.

So the working class live, imperialism must die! 
For a Socialist and internationalist May 1 of the workers! 

Let’s regroup under the banners of the Fourth International!
For the victory of the World Socialist Revolution! 

Again an iron alternative: socialism or barbarism!
