Statement of the Collective for the Refounding of the IV International (FLTI)
Tens of thousands of workers and exploited reach Europe as consequence of the massacre on the part of the imperialist powers and his hitmen in the entire Maghreb and Middle East
Since years Tens thousands died in the attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea…
They run away from the war, barbarism and massacre of the dog Bashar and the Iranian guards who behave as true “NATO land troops” that already took the life of 400.000 workers and peasants in Syria and confined 10 million-exploited ones to live in tents in the middle of the desert ..
They scape from ISIS-sent by Saudi Arabia and London-to massacre masses in the rebel free zones who defeated the war criminal Al-Assad and the imperialist occupation troops in Iraq…
They come from Egypt, from Tahrir massacred by the Al Sisimilitary dictatorship sustained by Obama and all the imperialist powers…
They run away desperately from the counterrevolutionary wars of USA, Germany and the entire imperialist Europe that invaded Afghanistan; and from the invasions of Saudi Arabia fulfilling the commands of Washington against the exploited masses in Yemen…
In the Maghreb and Middle East it was bloody smashed a chain of revolutions from Tunisia to Damascus that since 2011 masses led fighting for bread and freedom and against the pillage of their huge oil wealth
The governments-agents in the region of the big oil transnational companies and bankers-are the ones who made the “dirty work” to punish the exploited on the behalf of all the imperialist powers
So much silence can no longer be hidden as well as the siege on the tormented masses of Middle East and North of Africa.
During years from the World Social Forum, from the left of Obama and his social-imperialist political parties, such counterrevolutionary massacre and genocide was hidden and protected by deceiving the world masses saying that the enemy in the region was a supposed “terrorism” instead of the imperialism and his followers who massacre the heroic mass revolutions. They must explain the silence and siege imposed on those heroic revolutions.
thousands of political refugees wandering along the European streets, in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Greece, GERMANY, Austria and those who try to reach London are the proof that so much blood shed and massacre can no longer be hidden.
They march and tell the truth in the own heart of the imperialist powers
A great solidarity on the part of the working class from Germany, Spain, Austria, and England with the political refugees has been installed in the entire Europe. They have shocked millions of workers all across the world…
Today we are all “refugees”! Today we are all combatants of the heroic mass resistance in Maghreb and Middle East!
A single world working class, a single struggle against the capitalists and their killer governments and regimes!
The photo of AylanKurdi, a Syrian 3-year-kid, lying dead on the Turkey costs has shaken the world. The family of the child Aylan was part of the thousands of workers-refugees who try to reach Europe. In rafts, on foot, swimming…as they can they leave behind their countries to keep safety from the massacre, starving, and destruction.
The refugees from Syria and the entire Maghreb and Middle East today arriving Europe are part of the masses that in 2011 got upsurge in a chain of revolutions for bread and liberty shaking from Tunisia to Libya, Egypt, Syria and all across the region making the head of dictator men roll down. But such revolution suffered deceits, diversions, sieges, and counterrevolutionary blows. The power was not seized.
The imperialism concentrated his forces to smash this revolution by launching a counteroffensive resulting in tens thousands of dead in Syria, thousands of prisoners in Egypt, a Saudi military invasion to Bahrein and Yemen, and armouring the Tunis regime by putting in the government the political party of the former dictator Ben Ali-today disguised under the name of “Niida Tunis”.
Now, with tens thousands of refugees trying to enter Europe, the imperialism wants that everybody only witnesses the result of the counterrevolutionary blows inflicted on the revolution of the exploited. The imperialism wants that in the working class memory to be remained the image of the children drown in the sea, millions of exploited dying in the Mediterranean Sea to give the working class and world masses a punishment.
The imperialism wants to show workers what will happen to them if they dare to upsurge and threaten the interests of the big capitalists. They seek to discipline the European working class for them not to respond the brutal attack launched by their imperialist governments- to make proletariat pay for the crisis- by applying the methods of the revolution as the Maghreb and Middle East masses did in 2011.
But despite the obstacles the European imperialists have imposed by militarizing the borders and launching a brutal repression, the “refugees” have achieved to open the road demonstrating through the European highways using the method of the worker mobilization. This provoked a huge solidarity on the part of the old continent’s working class. Frightening the solidarity action to grow up at a superior level, with political struggle in the streets, the fascist Hungarian government sent buses and means of transport for the refugees to reach Germany. Merkel and Cameron also announced in public they would be in charge of giving shelter –nonetheless to a limit amount- to “the war refugees”.
This is a vile lie and demagogy that will end as soon as they can hide again the refugees in true concentration camps settled in the European borders. The Hungarian government already sent the army. This is the question in the Europe of the imperialism and his lackeys-like the fascist government of Hungary- open enemies and repressors of workers.
The sacrifice of thousands of refugees make layers of the European working class mobilize who went to give them food and medicine. Thousands of German workers in Dresde demonstrated in defence of the refugees against the attacks of Pegida- the fascist ultra-right wing Party. Other thousands protested in Vienna, Austria Capital as well as in other European countries. This proves that the working class in kind and full of solidarity with his brothers.
Meanwhile the imperialist governments continue fencing and repressing violently the tens of thousands who keep arriving Europe running away from the massacre and sufferings that the European and US pirates have imposed on the region.
They are cynic people. The Mediterranean is the most fortified Sea guarded by the imperialist army that belong to all the European powers and USA. They allow the Mediterranean to be full of dead while the traffickers of slaves make fruitful profits due to the masses’ desperation.
Until yesterday, the massacre on the mass uprisings in Maghreb and Middle East and its unprecedent sufferings were hidden before the eyes of millions of exploited in the World.
That was the task of the lackeys of Obama and the world reformist left that supported the imperialist agents, such as Bashar the dog, the Iranian Ayatollahs, Putin the butcher and Khadafy the murderer, saying they were “confronting imperialism in the region”, but actually they killed their own people, acting as true agents of the imperialist oil companies.
The hard attack made by Maduro on his own people in Latin America, the US flag in La Habana, the pact of Iran with Obama are a proof of what we say. For years, they have announced that USA was going to invade Syria… a lie! After four years it is shown that Al Assad killed the masses on behalf of the imperialist powers.
Life has spoken. All of them from the World Social Forum have cleared the area so the governments which are imperialism’s hitman to kill the masses. They are responsible of isolating those heroic revolutions for bread and freedom and leave them isolated from the world working class.
Meanwhile, imperialism put Turkey and the Saudi bourgeoisie in the conferences made over the last years, like in Geneve and in Viena, as well as the rest of its agents in the region to “Lebanon-ize” Syria, Iraq, Libya and to send other “Trojan horses” to smash insurrections and mass uprisings such as ISIS, or Peshmerga to control the Kurdish masses.
Today such silence and siege were broken, but at the expense of a huge tragedy and unprecedented sufferings of the masses. Hundreds of thousands of European workers and youth welcoming and giving solidarity to the hundreds of thousands of political refugees are a proof of what we say here. It is because of the blood and massacre, which today is coming out at broad daylight, that the exploited of Maghreb and Middle East are getting united with their class brothers and sisters of Europe.
Just taking a look at the chronic unemployment, the unemployed youth, the brutal attack plans on behalf of the imperialist bankers and their states and governments against the workers and exploited in Europe, you can see why they immediately got identified with the refugees that were marching through the highways.
It is clear that if this huge solidarity of the masses of the world had taken the form of struggle and actions on the streets in the five continents since 2012-2013 and if the current solidarity of the European and American working class had developed further, the massacre of Bashar the dog, Khadafy, Mubarak’s generals of Egypt and the Zionist terror over the Palestinian nation wouldn’t have lasted a single day.
The ones who hid this massacre… those who made the biggest enemies and murderers of the masses of Maghreb and Middle East appear as their allies are and will always be responsible of this genocide.
Why was Aylan Kurdi drown in a Turkish coast?
The fake tears of the imperialist bourgeoisie and the reformist left
Ayaln Kurdi, drown in the Turkish coast, was the post card that showed the tragedy of the exploited. Just that painful picture told the huge massacre and barbarism imposed by the transnational companies, bankers and pro-imperialist regimes on the masses of Maghreb and Middle East for them to steal oil, wealth and starve the people.
That Photo showed that hundreds of thousands were killed by the counterrevolution of the bourgeoisie and imperialism.
That Photo showed that the masses had the victory in their hands against the killers and true terrorists -imperialism and the counterrevolutionary governments- and they were a thousand times betrayed, isolated and besieged by the treacherous leaderships that expropriated their heroic fights.
The trade union bureaucracies of the world, the social-imperialist parties and the self-proclaimed “anti-capitalist” in general and lackeys of capitalism in particular, made the masses which rose in Tunisia, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya and Palestine that with “Constituent Assemblies” and “elections” their demands of food, justice and freedom –those they wanted in 2011 for which they arose- will be met. They cynically made the exploited of the world believe that Obama will bring “justice” and “democracy”, because imperialism could expand dominating the planet.
Now, these leaderships must account for their actions. They have to say what was Aylan Kurdi doing there. Because these currents promised “democracy” to the masses in the Maghreb and Middle East, for them to have food and national independence, which was actually a trap and a way to take the exploited out of the way of the fight for power and let Mubarak and his murderous generals to return, for Ben Ali tu return, for imposing counterrevolutionary invasions in Yemen, to unleash fascist coups as that of Heftar in Libya and for launching the massacres of the Iranian Guard and Hezbollah together with Bashar the dog against the heroic Syrian masses.
The tears of the capitalists, their governments and other pacifists are fake!
As a Syrian child said when he was marching with his family in Europe: Stop killing us; stop destroying our cities and homes and we will quickly return to our countries”.
This is the truth. Those who speak on behalf of socialism and show that they are imperialist lackeys must account for their actions.
Capital has no borders for its Business and plundering the subjugated people of the world
In Europe, Maghreb and Middle East, and in the whole world, there’s one single working class!
The transnational companies and the world finance oligarchy has taken over 50% of the world wealth. They have free mobility from one country to the other to go to the subjugated people to starve the masses and plunder the semi colonies. The governments of the finance capital of Europe, Japan and USA treat their working class just as bad as the workers of those countries they subjugate. So, they have no legitimacy or authority to close the borders so the exploited of Maghreb and Middle East don’t enter.
The refugees that are arriving to Europe are just the forefront of millions that cannot leave their countries and are still suffering the massacre and having to live as outcasts in their own land. They and the European working class are the true “creditors” and “owners” of the entire wealth that the transnational companies and the imperialist bankers have stolen.
The European working class has no time to lose. As the days pass, the capitalists and their governments will use the refugees as an excuse to plunge the wages of the European workers, to separate the refugees from the unions and the workers and struggle organizations of the exploited in Europe.
We can’t let this!
One single class, one single struggle!
The war refugees, killed by the European imperialist Powers and the migrant workers that do the worst jobs in the imperialist Europe must have the right of legal status and the nationality they want, to move freely all across Europe. This has to be a demand and a banner of struggle of the whole world working class.
Legal status, equal civil and union Rights, decent housing and wages fro all the political refugees, for the migrant the whole European working class!
For these minimum demands we have to take to the streets. The workers are strong enough to paralyze the imperialist Europe and impose their mark against the atrocities and genocides committed against their class brothers and sisters in Maghreb and Middle East.
General strike in Europe! Let’s take to the streets! Surround the Syrian embassies! Let’s besiege Wall Street!
Open the borders of Maastricht Europe!
Expropriate without compensation the transnational companies, the oil companies and the imperialist bankers from Portugal to the Russian steppes, from Tunisia and Morocco to the tormented Palestine!
All the migrant workers and refugees must be affiliated to the workers organizations in Europe. Enough of labour aristocracy and bureaucracy that live out of the alms of the imperialist plundering of the subjugated people!
To end with the refugees’ torment
Smash the counterrevolution of imperialism and its hitmen in Maghreb and Middle East
Los refugiados de Siria, Yemen, Irak, Afganistán, etc. no están de paseo en Europa ni están dónde quieren estar. Huyen para salvar su vida de las masacres de las petroleras imperialistas. Su lugar es en sus casas, que deben ser reconstruidas. Ellos deben volver a sus países en paz. Ellos deben recuperar sus vidas. Y eso sólo se logrará derrotando a los gobiernos asesinos de la región.
The refugees from Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. are not in Europe for tourism. They aren’t in the place they want to be. They’re running away to save their lives from the massacres of the imperialist oil companies. Their places is where their houses are. Those houses need to be rebuilt. They have to return to their countries peacefully.
The European working class, which today is giving its solidarity to the refugees, has the chance to stop this massacre, if it takes to the streets and confronts its imperialist governments, which are the ones who really arm and support the murderous jackal Bashar Al Assad, the military government of Al Sisi, the Saudi invasion to Yemen, the US invasion to Afghanistan, the French invasion to Mali, and the massacres of Zionism on the Palestinian masses, among others.
Break the fence on the heroic mass resistance in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan and the tormented Palestinian people!
The European and US working class must stop the imperialist war machine, which is supporting, arming and feeding all the counterrevolutionary governments of the region. Block all the ports! Stop the ships which carry weapons and supplies for Al Assad, Zionism and all the counterrevolutionary hitman governments in the region!
We need to take to the streets against the bankers and the transnational companies which have made huge superprofits plundering Maghreb and Middle East and the whole semicolonial world; and they have also starved and taken away the gains of the European working class! Down with Maastricht and the European Union, which enslaves all the European workers!
In Europe, We are all Syrian refugees! What else could it be when we see extreme unemployment conditions in Greece, Spain, Italy… the loss of gains of the German and French working class… the loss of the US working class houses? Organize a big unified fight against imperialism for decent work, and for having equal pay for equal work! Share the working hours! Reduce the shifts! One extra shift in every factory!
¡Work for all the unemployed, the migrant workers and the refugees that arrive at Europe! Let it be paid by the capitalists, the transnational companies and all those who steal from the people!
The US workers have to take to the streets. Their battle-cry should be: USA out of Iraq and Afghanistan! Let the million men march against the war return in USA!
Down with the conferences of Geneve, Viena and all the counterrevolutionary pacts with which Obama, the chief of the imperialist butchers, organizes its agents and hitman from behind the scenes to smash the masses in the entire Maghreb and Middle East!
Imperialism and its hitmen are its true terrorists!
Stand together with the heroic struggle and resistance of the workers and peasants masses in Yemen! Death to Saudi clan, a partner of Zionism and agent of the US-UK imperialism!
Long live the Syrian resistance! Defeat Bashar the dog! The Iranian guard and Hezbollah, the praetorian guard of the murderer Al Assad, must get out from Syria!
Expropriate without compensation the “businessmen” of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria! Expropriate without compensation the generals of the FSA, the old Assadist bourgeois guised as “democrats” to defend their business deals!
Paralyze the oil pipes! We need to re-take the control of the imperialist oil companies in Libya. Shut down the docks! The working class in Maghreb and Middle East has that power. That’s the road to march to Damascus, fight together with the Palestinian masses in Jerusalem and spark again the revolution that Mohamed Bouazizi lit yesterday when he set himself on fire in Tunisia.
One single struggle, one single fight for conquering Damascus and expel the Zionist state that occupies the Palestinian nation!
Down with the murderous NATO government of Erdogan, in Turkey!
Stop the massacre on the Kurdish people!
Down with the pacts of the Kurdish bourgeoisie with the dog Bashar and with US imperialismo in Iraq, which prepares the conditions for the massacre of its own people!
Free all the Palestinian refugees and the Fighters of the Syrian revolution, tortured in Al Assad’s jails!
Free the more than 7000 Palestinian prisoners!
Free the more than 40.000 young, workers and exploited imprisoned in Egypt’s jails! Down with the death sentences on the exploited, dictated by Mubarak’s judges!
Free the 4000 imprisoned, prosecuted and condemned in Tunisia!
Free all the political refugees and the migrante workers imprisoned as hostales of the European regime!
Out with imperialism! Expropriate without compensation the oil companies, the bankers and the transnational companies in Maghreb and Middle East and in the entire Europe! Place them under workers control!
Enough of fake tears!
There are still 8 million Syrian refugees wondering through the dessert. Gaza is besieged and the Zionist settlers burn children, killing them as Aylan Kurdi. The murderous dictatorship of Al Sisi guarantees the widening of Suez canal in favour of the French and Greek shipyard owners, who control the logistics of the world trade, while it kills their own people and drowned Tahrir Square in blood. With US and British weapons of last generation, the Saudi army tries to take over Yemen and the masses heroically resist.
A “holy Alliance” of imperialist and lackey governments is killing and smashing the heroic revolutions for food, against starvation and imperialist plundering that started in Maghreb and Middle East in 2011. We cannot allow this!
Retaking the experience of the Spanish Civil War against Francoism, in the ‘30s, we need to recover the militant internationalism in the world workers movement!
We have to continue the path of July and August of 2014, when the masses of the world marched by millions to stop the Zionist massacre with his operation “protective edge” against the tormented Palestine. Let’s take to the streets in the world to stop the massacre on the masses of Syrian and the whole Maghreb and Middle East! Let’s besiege the Syrian, Egyptian, Saudi and Zionist embassies to kick out the war criminals of all the countries of the world!
From the unions and workers organizations, from the currents that claim to be socialists, we have to set up solidarity committees in Europe and the entire world with the masses in Maghreb and Middle East.
The refugees in Maghreb and Middle East arrive at Europe and the world… now the world working class must go to fight to that region.
All the workers organizations of the world should send weapons, medicines and workers international brigades to fight together with the resistance of the masses in Syria, Yemen, Palestine and the entire Maghreb and Middle East! Food and funds to stop starvation and plagues that are being developed in the refugee camps in the desert!
Imperialism has declared a total war on the workers of the world.
They want us to pay for parasitism and the theft of the world finance oligarchy of Wall Street, Bundesbank, London City and also the Chinese crac. They have launched a brutal attack against the workers gains of the whole world.
Workers can’t allow this! Let them pay the crisis!
To stop the imperialist chain of counterrevolutions:
Defeat Al Assad, the killer, in Syria and his henchmen from the Iranian Republican Guard which supports him under the command of Obama!
The Syrian refugees that today arrive at Europe are a minority, because only a minority can get the 2000/2500 euros charged by the slave traffic bourgeoisie to cross over the Mediterranean Sea. It is a small minority the one who can “choose” not to die in Syria and risk their lives trying to get to Europe.
But the broad majority of the Syrian exploited are still concentrated in the refugee camps by millions. They are in the borders and suffering the increasing bombing of Bashar Al Assad the dog. There are millions who are suffering massacres, jails, the plundering of their wealth and destruction of their homes. Let’s fight together with them!
Stand together with the Syrian resistance in Aleppo, Idlib, Deraa and the outskirts of Damascus! From the refugee camps and the “free zones”, we need to set up again the Coordination Committees! Remove ISIS to be able to march over Damascus! Defeat the genocide of Al Assad, supported by the Iranian Ayatollahs and Putin the butcher!
Out with the bourgeois generals of the FSA and Jabhat Al Nusra, who are here to expropriate the revolutionary struggle of the masses! Expropriate the bourgeoisie in the “free areas” to put all the available resources to reach Damascus and have food!
Out with all the bourgeois fractions which have partitioned Syria and Iraq on behalf of imperialism! Down with the partition plan!
Out with the Kurdish bourgeoisie that agreed with Bashar Al Assad and the US invaders of Iraq! The Kurdish masses need to tie the fate of their struggle for liberation to that of the Syrian exploited masses and the revolution in Maghreb and Middle East! Defeat Erdogan, the repressor and killer of the Kurdish masses!
The Palestinian masses should take to the streets! They want to go in support of their Syrian class brothers and sisters. Their leaderships have told them “don’t get involved in other countries’ conflicts, because that would decrease our support”. The result was that Zionism got stronger, multiplied its massacre, imprisonment and occupation of Palestinian lands. Nevertheless, there are Palestinian fighters in Hebron who are starting to denounce Assad, while being in the frontline of the fight against the Zionist settlers. The fate of the Syrian and Palestinian masses is the same! For the destruction of the Zionist-fascist state of Israel!
Today, the masses of Lebanon are rising against the infamous government of millionaires, of Hezbollah, the Sunni bourgeoisie and the Maronite bourgeoisie. They have made huge business deals and stole the money even from what is needed to pick up the trash. Long live the Lebanese masses uprisings! There are the forces so the Palestinian resistance gets stronger as well as the Syrian struggles.
Long live the heroic resistance of the masses in Maghreb and Middle East!
Its spark is now arriving to Europe. There’s fighting in Ukraine against the plans of the IMF and the EU.
In spite of the huge betrayals of the social-imperialist left, of Maastricht bankers, the Greek working class hasn’t given up.
Against the facade of Podemos (‘We can’), the fight of the outraged of the Spanish State should return… those who fought for the “Republic”, who said “immigrants: you are the sea of Madrid” and with their vanguard, the miners of Asturias put up the war cry “If our children starve, yours will bleed”. Today, the children of the exploited are still the ones who fill the Mediterranean Sea, Europe and Maghreb and Middle East with their blood… It is time for the exploiter and the bankers to have such fate.
The spark of Maghreb and Middle East must light Athens again to bring down the imperialist Maastricht!
Down with the murderer Obama and the finance oligarchy of London and Wall Street!
To stop the massacre and the sufferings of the masses, imperialism must die!
For the Socialist United States of Maghreb and Middle East!
For the Socialist United States of Europe!
