Epilogue
To conclude

The Syrian genocide will not be left in the oblivion!
So much treason will not be left unpunished!

The Obama left must explain the fence they imposed on the heroic Syrian revolution
Reformism announced the coming of the “democratic revolutions” and what came was the massacre at the hands of generals and counterrevolutionary soldiery under the command of the imperialism and native bourgeoisies

The Syrian tragedy, as many others the international working class has suffered, poses again the updated historical alternative: either the victory of the socialist revolution or fascism and wars

The last battles of the Syrian revolution as well as Maghreb and Middle East are still ahead. The latest chapter of the process of revolution and counterrevolution, as we have said in this book’s introduction, has not been written yet.
But life has already given a verdict. By the spark of Tunis in 2011, the working class and his allies from the countryside and urban areas either advanced towards the socialist revolution backed by the uprising of the world working class or the deceives, traps advanced and –as it happens today- the counterrevolution to set up again institutions to rule exploited in Maghreb and Middle East.
We, the revolutionary socialist, put clearly in the trench fighting for the socialist revolution. The Obama left and the grave-diggers of Marxism carried pickaback the people´s executioners submitting the working class to the bourgeoisie.

In the Syrian revolution they were confronted: two theories, two programs and two strategies of the currents that belong to the international worker movement

On one side, the continuers of the stalinism’s theory and program and socialdemocracy; those who tried at every step to submit the working class to the different bourgeois factions to whom they considered “progressive”. They are the continuity of the Stalinist theory of “staged revolution”. Here on this side they are placed: all the currents of the World Social Forum composed by the remains of Stalinism, social-democracy and the miserable native bourgeoisies, those lackeys of Obama that pose as “anti-imperialist”…all of them legitimized by the renegades of Trotskyism.
For some of those reformists, in the Maghreb and Middle East the victory of a “democratic revolution” was put at the order of the day. Moreover, they affirmed that these ones had triumphed. For others, as two sides of the same coin, the task posed was to support the “antiimperialist” bourgeoisies like Al Assad and Khadafy. The underlying base that unifies both is the subjugation of the working class before the different bourgeois factions.  Likewise, they are unified by the old socialimperialist theory saying that the conditions are not ripened for the socialist revolution at worldwide level, let alone in the Maghreb and Middle East. That is, the only thing proletariat can do is to get submitted to the different bourgeois factions.
Their “democratic revolutions” prove to be nothing more than expropriations of the mass fights and diversions that open the door to bloody counterrevolutionary coups like in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, the genocide in Syria, bombs over Gaza Strip…

On the other side, the internationalist revolutionary movement stood up and confronted them, even having small forces; the internationalist revolutionary movement that affirms that the conditions for the socialist are not only more than ripen –and much more ripened conditions in the Maghreb and Middle East- but also are getting rotten and decomposed.
The massacre in Syria, the counterrevolutionary strikes today in Libya, in Yemen, Egypt, the massacres in Gaza posed an iron alternative: either the working class set up their dual power organs of workers, peasants and soldiers to take power and expropriate the bourgeoisie and imperialism by imposing their own government; or the “democratic” bourgeoisie under the command of Obama would call on the generals to smash masses bloodily.

Life itself in the Maghreb and Middle East has proved the fully validity of the Theory-Program of the Permanent Revolution of the founders of the 1938 Fourth International. It states that the only thing “unripe” masses have at their head is the treacherous leadership. That is the “immaturity” of exploited masses: the labor bureaucracy and aristocracy bought by the big capital to fulfill the role of internal police and fifth column within the revolutionary masses…the “immaturity” reformists speak about, in fact, is the overabundance of treacherous leaderships that sell out every exploited’s combat.

As the Transitional Program of the IV International of 1938 says: “The economic prerequisite for the proletarian revolution has already in general achieved the highest point of fruition that can be reached under capitalism. Mankind’s productive forces stagnate (…) Conjunctural crises under the conditions of the social crisis of the whole capitalist system inflict ever heavier deprivations and sufferings upon the masses. Growing unemployment, in its turn, deepens the financial crisis of the state and undermines the unstable monetary systems. Democratic regimes, as well as fascist, stagger on from one bankruptcy to another (…)

All talk to the effect that historical conditions have not yet “ripened” for socialism is the product of ignorance or conscious deception. The objective prerequisites for the proletarian revolution have not only “ripened”; they have begun to get somewhat rotten. Without a socialist revolution, in the next historical period at that, a catastrophe threatens the whole culture of mankind. The turn is now to the proletariat, i.e., chiefly to its revolutionary vanguard. The historical crisis of mankind is reduced to the crisis of the revolutionary leadership.

Facing the revolutionary uprising that began in Tunis in 2011, we saw the imperialism to gather all his forces and set up a centralized general staff under the command of Obama. It disciplined all the bourgeois faction of the region and all the treacherous leaderships of the proletariat for them to save the ruling classes.

The international working class didn’t have his general staff to break with the fence against the Syrian revolution to keep unified the links of the chain of the ongoing revolutions in the Maghreb and Middle East and be able to combine them with the mass upheavals of workers in Europe and USA.
The working class of Syria and the region didn’t have the general staff able to put in the streets the huge power of the proletariat in the imperialist countries who have the capacity to paralyze the exploiters’ war machine-in all its forms- when it massacres workers and oppressed world people. We have seen that huge power of millions taking the streets in Europe and USA that yesterday obliged yankees to withdraw from Iraq, no matter it has been only formally, and today this power stopped the massacre of Zionism against Gaza.

The world working class lacked a leadership able to make easy to surpass the current leaderships that, like those in the World Social Forum, have submitted them to their enemies at every step. It is about that our fight, of those who fight to set up and re-founding the IV International of 1938, the World Party of the Socialist Revolution. This will be done by re-building the militant internationalism in the world working class that has set milestones of internationalism in the streets in every decisive fight given, as we have already showed all through this book.

The Obama left regrets today the “growth of ISIS” and “the radical Islamic movement”. And we, the revolutionaries wonder why  would masses go to the English SWP (Socialist Worker Party) , the French NPA (New Anticapitalist Party), to LIT (Liga Internacional de los Trabajadores), to Syriza (Coalition of the Radical Left) of Greece, to FIT (Left and Worker Front) of Argentina, etc., if they tell them to be content with voting since democracy would resolve all their problems? Why would they go with the English WRP (Worker Revolutionary Party) or with the Bolivian POR  (Worker Revolutionary Party) that said that Al Assad and Khadafy-the biggest millionaires and lackeys of the imperialism and repressors of their people- were their allies? Why would masses follow these “socialists” if they are by the hand of the Castros and Chavez that called for voting for Obama in USA saying he was “the salvation against Bush and Tea Party”?
Masses can be subjugated and deceived by ISIS because the world left is lackey of the imperialism, servant of the governments and regimes that starved and massacred the peoples like Khadafy and Al Assad or the Shiite government of the US protectorate in Iraq.

The Islamic movement, and ISIS in particular, presents themselves before masses having the banner saying “they have fought US imperialism in Iraq” usurping the anti-imperialist fight of the working class and exploited. This fact allowed them to be at the head of their struggle to strangle the revolution. ISIS says to use their weapons “to confront the imperialism”, hen in reality, they only confront masses…but how many medicine, brigades have sent the world worker organizations led by the reformist currents of the Obama left to support the millions of Syrian exploited in the refugee camps and to fight side by side them against the murderous Bashar, so that they can recover their houses?

Precisely the reformism’s role was to fence the Syrian revolution, submit masses to the different bourgeois factions who strangled it. They are for that role. They are the Obama’s left. The pro-imperialist character and as sustainers of Obama the world reformist left have free hands the native bourgeoisie to expropriate the revolutionary fight from the masses or to massacre them.
That is the true. If not, the banners waving in the mass resistance against zionisn and the imperialism would be neither black nor green nor yellow, they would be red-the banners of revolution. 

Reformism only gets away exploited from the revolution. That is his role as well as regret and blame masses for his treasons. These leaderships are not more intelligent or more capable than the working class’ revolutionary movement. Reformists are sustained by the bourgeoisie and his states. They are not clever. They are guards of the capitalists’ properties within the worker ranks.
The current reformists are direct sons of the huge treason of the old Stalinist leadership, and survive for that reason. That is, the treason of the old Stalinist leadership that sold out the worker states to capitalism in 1989 giving an over-life to the rotten capitalist system. They did that after selling out the socialist revolution during decades all over the world. The renegades of the revolutionary Marxism carried pickaback Stalinism and legitimized them.

But such reformism without reforms is a “club of squeezed lemons”. Millions of workers that will participate in decisive fights in the next period will have no expectations of them. The working class can’t stand them anymore.
New historical upheavals no a trace will remain of that cave of capital’s friends, that is, the World Social Forum. The laws of history are and will be stronger than any apparatus.

Life has given a verdict in the combats of Syria and the whole Middle East. The working class has not taken power during the thousands of opportunities they had. The working class was not able to centralize, coordinate and develop the dual power organs that from Tahrir square to Tunis, from the rebel Libyan militias to the Coordination Committees in Syria they set up.

There, when states, governments and regimes got disjoined for the falling down of Mubarak, Khadafy and Ben Ali the power was at hand. But the working class, as an exploited class (since it isn’t owner) cannot take power spontaneously on his own. Workers need a leadership, a general Staff selected from “the best of the best” of their ranks. By drawing lessons of the revolutionary processes all around the planet and organizing internationally, a scientific socialist movement  can be able to fight the general staff of the imperialism and native bourgeoisies that centralize all over the world the treacherous leaderships for them to save them from the mass revolutionary upheavals.

Life again gave a verdict, this time a tragedy for masses. The working class did not take power and there was no triumph of the democracy or liberty, there was not bread or conquests for the exploited.  Governments more fascist, counterrevolutionary and bloody than those that masses had defeated came to power. Masses had defeated them by their revolutionary upheaval that shook the whole Maghreb and Middle East and the entire world from 2011 on.

The organizations that speak in the name of the working class ‘interests and socialism must give an explanation about the fence they imposed on the Syrian masses that left dog Bashar with his hands free  to massacre them. The reformism without reforms must explain the submission they impose on the working class of Maghreb and Middle East,  the fraud of the “Arab springs” and “democratic revolutions” they spread when a blood´s river ran from the Tunis street to the tormented Palestine.

So much treason will not be left unpunished. The world working class will do justice. They will group their ranks and advance to set up a leadership up to the combat masses carry out and that opens the prerequisites to the victory of the exploited masses of Maghreb and Middle East and all around the world.

The martyrs of the Syrian revolution will never ever be left in the oblivion. Our young and anti-imperialist socialists and militants who died in the battlefield -while reformism was riding on the coattails of the bourgeoisie- will be fighting banners for the next generations of the international proletariat.

Our revolutionary socialist movement, the IV International of 1938 that deserves to be re-founding, is grouping his cadres before the huge historical events, that is, of great offensives on the part of the proletariat and huge defeats of the working class like the genocide in Syria.
The Syrian revolution is a revolution stained in blood that could not be left in the oblivion. Neither the treasons will be unpunished; the treason committed again in the name of socialism.

THE OBAMA’S LEFT MUST GIVE AN EXPLANATION!
THEY SUBMITTED MASSES TO THEIR DIFFERENT EXECUTIONERS

They must explain why they sustained murders like Al Assad-armed to the teeth by the butcher Putin- and like the Iranian Ayatollahs that only received orders gave by the imperialism to massacre the Syrian masses doing the “dirty work” for all the imperialist powers.

They must explain why the paid homage to the bourgeois generals of the FSA that under the command of Turkey went with Jabhat Al Nusra to contain and disarm masses in the free zones and why they sustain the pro-yanquee Kurdish bourgeoisie that is the biggest enemy of the self-determination of the Kurdish people and biggest ally of Al Assad and USA.

They must explain why they have submitted the working class to the different bourgeois factions that today are in dispute for the spoils of the Syria stained in blood.
They must explain why despite the great predisposition for fighting on the part of the European working class, they backed the imperialist Maastrich-that imposed one of the biggest attacks against exploited-and closed the way to the revolutionary strike in the Western Europe separating it from the combats of East Europe workers like Ukraine, Rumania, Bulgarian, etc.

They must explain the infamy and lie that the imperialism advances in the world by “expanding democracy” when under the imperialist domination what is generalized are occupation wars lie in Iraq and Afghanistan, genocides like in Syria, counterrevolutionary coups lie in Egypt, bonapartist governments like the one of Putin and military dictatorships like the one of the “red entrepreneurs” party of China.
They must explain why they submitted the Tahrir Square of Cairo to the fraud constituent assembly of the Mubarak’s generals without calling on people to get armed and disarmed the fascist pharaoh’s officers winning the soldiers who fraternized with people for revolution.
They must explain how “the democracy and liberty advance” in the tormented Africa with the governments of the kinglets under the command of the US, French and English military bases.
They must explain how “the democracy advances” when the Pacific are full  of military bases and Japan has voted , under the command of the semi-fascist Abe government and emperor, get armed when he hasn’t done it since the Second World War.
They must explain how “the democracy gets spread” by US imperialism with over 500 military bases with which he controls Africa and with five military commands that acted like his true supreme power in the planet.
They must explain how the French V Republic “expands his democracy” invading at blood and fire Mali and sustaining bonapartist governments all around the sub-Saharan Africa.
They must explain how is it possible without expropriating Wall Street and the handful of parasites that control the world economy to prevent them from keeping a hoard of 50% of the world wealthy. They must explain why they have never told to the US and world working class that their task to way out from their catastrophe in the US imperialist beast is the socialist revolution in USA.
They must explain the fraud of reediting the “pacific way to socialism” they promise in Greece and Chile today when in 1973 it led Chilean revolution to be smashed at Pinochet’s hands.
They must explain why they sustain the ANC and the Stalinist unions in South Africa that guard the Angloamerican profits taken from the miners’ blood in Marikana. They must explain why they were with the CEO’s and Stalinist police in Marikana killing workers in struggle, and they were not side by side the 80.000 miners fighting for salary that by pickets and worker democracy carried out a heroic revolutionary strike during 5 months making shake the foundations of the enslaved Africa.
They must explain why they hide (dressing up Puting, the butcher of “the great Russia”, as “anti-imperialist”) that the soldiers of the Kiev army have denied shooting against their brothers, the Donbass miners. They must explain why they hide that conditions are open so that the Workers and Soldiers’ Councils can emerge again: the soviets, this time in Ukraine where in 1922 the victory of the Red Army was imposed on 14 imperialist armies that invaded the USSR.
They must explain why they shamelessly -by dressing up as “socialist”- hide that the road to the restoration of the proletariat dictatorship in the former USRR by revolutionary ways has started in the hands of the workers and soldiers of Ukraine.
They must explain why they supported Castro and Chavez who said their candidate in USA was Obama.
They must explain why they sustain Castro and his selling out of Cuba to the imperialism.
They must explain why they backed Morales and chavism that today apply the hardest plans against the working class, even worse than those applied by the FTA’s governments of Bush.

They must explain to the world working class how they can resolve their needs without taking power, without the returning of the socialist revolution victory in the planet.
They must explain all this, in particular, those who responsible for such ignominy speaking in the name of the IV International of which they are nothing more than vulgar impostors and destroyers.
They will never be able to explain all these facts in the name of socialism. They will have to give an explanation to the masses, and we, the revolutionaries, will be in charge of it so that the exploited can set up a truly revolutionary leadership they deserve.

In this new phase of the open period in 2008, it is the reformism who must give an explanation to the world working class. Every serious fight will be against and despite them. The current combats already anticipate it. The speed race between reformism and the Trotskyism’s program as well as revolution to see who leads masses has not finished yet. This speed race is in his beginning. The opportunism and reformism speak the language of the past, of treasons, of selling out of the former worker states, with that language made masses believe that capitalism will survive “giving gains” and “expanding democracy” when it only gives genocide, misery and barbarian.

They speak the language of the past, that “another world is possible” without expropriating neither bankers nor the imperialism. They speak the language of the reactionary utopia, of “socialism of market” that justify the plunder and super exploitation of the Chinese working class.
They are the lackeys of that vile bolivarian bourgeoisie and his demagogy of “21th Century Socialism “applied when supporting Al Assad massacre in Syria and attacking brutally Venezuelan masses to pay the external debt to the imperialism and IMF.
These people complain about “the backwardness” of the exploited masses of Maghreb and Middle East…about “they are Islamic” and barbarian people” when they state that never again a new Cuba is possible not even in Latin America, or any place of the world, let alone in Cuba. They sell out the workers states and working class’ revolutionary victories and then complain about “masses are not socialist”. This is a lie of reformism that likewise in the past stalinism committed the worst ignominy against the international socialist revolution!

We are facing a reformism without reforms that makes promises of victory and has only given milestones of defeats to the world proletariat. We affirm that if the socialist revolution does not win in the period open for the 2008 crac, the catastrophe of humanity is assured.
Reformism has destroyed the proletarian internationalism. They have broken every international class solidarity with the massacred workers in the Maghreb and Middle East. They are focused on sustaining the bourgeois regimes in all their countries.
They will have to give an explanation to the world working class.

Nobody will silence us, the revolutionary marxists. Our war cry facing the massacre in Syria is the same, today more than ever:

The Syrian genocide will not be left in the oblivion!
So much treason will not be left unpunished!
Open the road to the international socialist revolution!

From 2008 to 2011, the capitalism had his “1989”. Huge mass struggles went over the planet. In his counter-back, the counterrevolutionary forces responded with fascist strikes, sables of generals and even with governments “more democratic”, jailed the best worker and anti-imperialist fighters. They are worker hostages in the hands of the bourgeois regimes.
Every current that confront this system is accused of being “terrorist”. The Palestinian jails are full of the best fighters against the zionist occupation state. In Guantanamo they have in prison the best fighters of the occupied Afghanistan. Mumia Abu Jamal, fighter of the worker black movement in USA has been in jail for more tan 30 years and is sentenced to death. Georges Abdallah, fighter of the Palestinian cause, has been kept in prison since decades in the jails of the French imperialist V Republic. In Argentina, the oil workers of Las Heras are condemned to life imprisonment in the courts of torturous judges for the only “crime” of defending their salary and labor conditions.

Either in “democracy” or “dictatorship”, the best fighters of the working class are put in jails under the most despicable accusations and lies. The other face of such infamy is the release of the dictator Mubarak, murder of Egyptian masses, who was toppled down by revolution. The exploited go jail while their executioners are free.

The imperialism, the biggest terrorist in the planet, accuse of terrorist to everyone who confronts him. But those rising up against him are the masses that can`t stand anymore living as they have done till now. For that reason, we say they have the right to upraise and make insurrections and fight for what belongs to them. That right is sacred.
The revolutions are not organized by “agitators” but they emerge because of the decay of this rotten system that can no longer give bread to his slaves. And when slaves get rebelled, they massacre them like in Syria.

Let`s tell the truth: you, generals and bourgeois politicians, under the command of Wall Street and big MNCs are the biggest terrorist and destroyers of the human kind and even the planet. The massacres you have committed, like in Syria, prove it. Thus, there will neither oblivion nor forgiveness for the murders of the Syrian masses and the whole Maghreb and Middle East.

The uprising of slaves is not a crime, it is justice!
The liberation of workers will be done by workers themselves!
