Argentina

The Argentina of Kirchner: a paradise for bankers, transnationals and bosses...
and a hell for the working class and the exploited

They are the same finance capital and imperialist banks that some time ago, in 2008,  got bankrupt because of the crac of the Wall Street stock market and reconstituted their lost funds by emptying the imperialist states’ treasury. This (their) crisis is what they are making the working class and the exploited of USA, Europe, Greece, Spain, and the entire world pay for. Those pirates, the bankers and imperialist transnationals, are who gave the Kirchner government the order for launching mercilessly the attack against the worker movement. They ordered it to take away till the last conquests of the workers and make them pay for crisis through inflation, increased cost of living, miserable wages and salaries, layoffs, suspensions, and more suffering. Only in that way, the pro-imperialist Kirchner government would be able to guarantee the finance capital its super profits. “A National and Popular” government? ...my ass! All that chatter on the “sovereignty of the Islas Malvinas” and “the expropriation of YPF (see article) is nothing more than a smoke screen to cover they are bleeding the nation white through a worst sellout and imperialist pillage.

Kirchner kneels down before her bosses Obama and the Wall Streets parasites. This year she will pay U$S 19.000 million to those imperialist pirates for the due date of the fake external debt and the Boden bonds (see article). For this the government needs to gather all the dollars they have at hand. This is the “pesificación” (converting every deposit in dollars in a deposit in pesos, NT) that Kirchner is speaking about. The government is restricting at its most the buying of dollars accross the country, but only for the middle classes and poor people. The transnationals that are emptying the nation of all its riches are allowed to take away all that they want. The Kirchners give imperialists all the dollars which express the real goods and all the riches produced by the whole working class in Argentina, those dollars that the workers and the poor people cannot buy. For them the government has only devaluated pesos issued without a backing, what generates the skyrocketing inflation descended over the exploited.

This question in its turn demonstrates that the Government has begun to attack its own social base i.e., the middle classes, with the increase of the public services’ fees and a new "corralito" that limits the purchase of dollars (“corralito” was the popular name given to the decree banning of withdrawals from the deposits in dollars, their compulsive conversion to deposits in pesos in 2001, using the exchange rate of 1=1 that  had been legal up to some days before, though the government had suddenly devaluated the peso to an exchange rate of 1 dollar = 3 pesos; the middle classes and some sectors of the workers that had put in the Banks their savings or the money collected from their discharge compensations, lost 2/3 of their money, NT). So after they were using for 10 years to the middle classes against the workers - since the employers disjointed the worker and popular Alliance forged amid the 2001 revolutionary fighting, now big capital comes for them so that they also pay the crisis. Now the “blanket” of businesses has shrunk and cannot cover everyone any more. For this reason the dispute for the agricultural income between the Government and the bourgeoisie of the "countryside" (an appendix to the Chicago Stock Exchange) has also begun to deepen. But beyond this, all of them agree in that the attack against the masses should be strengthened.

The managers of the mine Company Barrick Gold and Cristina Kirchner

The Kirchner has drawn her mask: she's like all the "Bolivarian" governments, an antiworker servant to imperialism; they need to deepen and generalize their "maquila model", i.e., slavery and super-exploitation throughout the labor movement to get a new and better slice of plus value from the proletariat and therefore ensure a new round of investment to keep the cycle on and thereby the superprofits of imperialism and the delivery of our nations.

Cristina Kirchner, a repressive jailer and killer applies the "Banelco law" (that is, a law legitimizing jobs casualization voted some years ago by the Senators in exchange for bribes paid through a credit card named Banelco, NT) against workers

The Kirchner's Government is imposing the working-class terrible conditions of slavery, labour flexibility and misery to the best style of the "Banelco law" of De la Rúa and Cavallo. Due to the global economic crisis and the slow-down of the economy of the MERCOSUR countries, bosses have begun to suspend and lay off thousands of workers in the metallurgical, automotive and construction industry in Córdoba (second Argentinean city), the industrial outskirts of Buenos Aires city (Great Buenos Aires, where almost half of the Argentinean population live) or in Ushuaia (an industrial free zone, capital city of Tierra del Fuego province) where in the past three months, more than 4,000 workers lost their jobs.
 
 They are starting to apply the same plan imposed in 2008, when they left jobless some thousand hundreds of workers - mostly subcontracted, outsourced and unregistered ones - so those who kept their jobs had to produce the same as before when there were more workers working.
At the same time that they lay off and suspend workers, the bosses are increasing the rates of production and the length  of work - days (12-14 hours) in rotating shifts - what makes the factories and establishments real death fields for the workers, causing diseases, accidents, mutilations and even deaths.
The majority of the working class cannot make the ends meet. 60% of the workers movement - the families of the workers who work unregistered, in “hot bed” workshops (that is, they live and work in the shops with their families, and are dispossessed of their ID card, so they can’t go out) or are unemployed – live on less than Pesos 2,200 per month or subsist on miserable dole subsidies (A basic living wage would be in June Pesos 7,500 for a family of four, but inflation in mounting ceaselessly, NT). Meanwhile with the wage increase cappings imposed to the unionized workers’ miserable income, the increases signed by the bureaucrats fail to cover even a third of what the inflation has already eaten from last year to now. And many times these increases end up being fictitious because they are devoured by the "income tax" applied to the labor wage; as if it were not enough, a great deal of workers have  stopped receiving the legal family allowances because the government put on them cappings that have not been adjusted by inflation for more than three years now.
Employers and the Government have advanced to sink the wage of the workers, thus shrinking  even more the workers’ slice of the cake. And with this theft made to the wages/salary of the workers, they give “generously” fake and miserly   ”job plans"for the unemployed, the "universal salary per child", "notebooks" to the students studying in powerless  and unheated ruinous schools, etc. and at the same time give millionaire subsidies to the employers, which proves to be all the workers who are financing themselves... and also (but with bigger amounts) the parasite bosses and their state: they are subsidized with the money of the always increasing plusvalue extracted from the labor movement and the revenues from the 21% VAT.
At the same time, millions of workers do not have even decent housing. Contrariwise to what the government says in its propaganda, the very large majority of the exploited may not even apply for access to the new "housing plan" that Kirchner has just announced, because it requires to be a registered worker. The exploited are forced to travel like cattle on public transport, and to die as it happened with the 51 exploited who died in the massacre in the Plaza Once Station of the Sarmiento railroad.
This Government increasingly destroys more public health care and education promoting for example mass dismissals of teachers as it is the case in the city of Buenos Aires with the arbitrary closure of courses in schools (not only leaving apt teachers without their jobs, but also stacking 40 or more pupils per classroom); or that of the University of Buenos Aires where hundreds of professors are presently being retired against their will, nothwithstanding their merits and capacity.
 
When the working class rebels against these conditions of misery, the Kirchner Government sends their hound dogs, the corrupt and brutal police to suppress the workers and massacre them, as happened in the Indoamericano Park in 2010, Ledesma (Jujuy) last year and as anybody has to suffer daily in working-class neighborhoods, where the  "trigger-happy" repressive forces of the State have claimed the lives of hundreds and hundreds of young people, to give just a few examples.
At the same time with the videlista-Peronist-radical justice it prosecutes and convicts labor, student and popular fighters. These are the same judges who left all the genocidal soldiers and the worker-murderer politicians at large, and now have began to prosecute labor fighters, as happened with the delegates of the 60 busline  and the subway workers. These are the "human rights" of Kirchner’s: sticks, repression, imprisonment and death against the workers to guard the property and business of the capitalists!

The bureaucracy of the CGT and the CTA: guarantors of the employers’ attack and the division of the labor ranks

Today both Government and capitalists have hands free to advance against the workers due to the actions of the bureaucracy of the CGT and the CTA that, though now some of them paint themselves as "opponents", all of them have time and again guaranteed to pass all the plans of the bosses against the labor movement, and together with the piquetero bureaucracy, they go on guaranteeing the worst division of labor ranks.
These treacherous bureaucrats leave to their fate a 70% of the working class which is not unionised, but works unregistered, or is unemployed, subemployed or outsourced; these bureaucrats are in charge of selling-out the wage of the unionized workers in the collective bargaining together with the employers and the Ministry of labour, by signing the miserable wage capped-increases in “comfortable” instalments. This they guarantee with their gunmen and gangs of thugs that discipline all sectors of workers to shovels and clean shots, whenever those workers are threatening the employers and the Government with their fight plans. Those traitors give up each working class struggle in their negotiations with the employers and the Labour Ministry. They are who deliver to the bosses and the police "black lists" to mark the activists in the factories.
Meanwhile, the piquetero bureaucracy is dedicated to control the unemployed workers, managing the miserable "plans and food-bags” and slaveholding “cooperatives” of the plan "Argentina Trabaja" (Argentina works) of Kirchner’s, and carrying all claim to the dead end of the pressure on the Ministry of Social Action and the municipalities.

These bureaucrats are such servants and agents of the employer, that now the Government has pressed them the "collar of traps", such as the master to his "guard dog". That is because the Government's plan is not leaning more centrally on (teamsters’ union leader and Secretary General of the main CGT, NT) Moyano and Cia; now the Kirchner Government’s plan is about fragmenting and atomizing unions to such an extent that the working class does not weigh in national political life in any way, not even in a distorted way through the trade union bureaucracy. It is no wonder that tomorrow the CGT is to fracture and it arises the "Moyano’s CGT" and the "Caló’s (metaworkers’ union leader) CGT," as today there is already the "Blue and White CGT " of Barrionuevo, the "Yasky’s CTA" and the "Micheli’s CTA". And it is no wonder to see how different sectors of the bureaucracy weave and extirpate alliances among them seeing what bourgeois fraction to answer to, as we can see today Moyano being a very friend of Scioli’s, demonstrating that the union bureaucracy always responds to a certain sector of the employers, never to the workers, never to their struggles or their demands.
There you can see Gdansky and the traitor of Caló leaving isolated Sabo workers and enabling thousands of layoffs to pass throughout the UOM (metalworkers union) affiliates’ ranks! There is the STIA’s (Food and Beverages workers’ Union) Daer conspiring with the employers in the food industry, on how to smash the labor wage! There is the UOM/CTA hiding under the carpet 1200 Paraná Metal workers in Villa Constitución that were laid-off and left helpless on the street! There is the bureaucracy of the UTA (Bus-drivers Union) with blacklists and their thugs, chasing the combative workers in busline 60!

And not to mention the bureaucracy of both CTAs, Yasky and Micheli’s, who looked the other side and left unnoticed the meager increase in salary to teachers imposed by decree by Kirchner, and allowing thousands of State workers not to be paid in time, and allowing them to be paid in installments... what shows they are guardians of the cashbox of the bourgeois state. They are all scabs, employer agents inside the labor movement! That’s why we must defeat them and kick them all off the unions and workers organizations!
 
 Neither Moyano, nor Caló and Barrionuevo; neither Yasky nor Micheli! Out of the CGT and the CTA, the trade union bureaucracy! Down with the Professional Associations Act! We workers organize ourselves as we want to!  

The reformist left and their "unity" only for the elections... never to fight against the Government and the employers

In the middle of this frenzied attack of the employers, currents of the reformist left denounce in their newspapers how the "Government and the employers are making the workers pay for the crisis". But unfortunately in this situation, which deserves the working class be united and coordinated to fight against the centralized attack of the government, imperialism and the employers, all of these parties are still proclaiming that "there are no conditions" to unite the different sectors of the working class that are fighting or organizing to respond the offensive of the exploiters.

What is their "recipe" then? The "unity" of the left-wing parties... only for the elections! We saw the PO, PTS and IS form the “Left and Workers’ Front "(FIT), which turned out to be a mere electoral front seal between the tops of the party apparatuses that not only applied a stupidly parliamentary politics, stating that the workers could conquer their demands from the hand of the bourgeois Parliament, thus refusing to use the electoral occasion to develop the workers extraparliamentary fight against the Government and the employers; they did more of a treachery than that: some of their leaders drove the perfidious class-collaborationist policy of calling pro-Kirchner workers to "cut ballot" (to vote in Argentina you have to put a long sheet of a ballot into the ballot-box, but you can cut it for different parties if you want to support one for President, another for senators, etc. NT), voting Kirchner for President and the FIT for Parliament candidates. That is why they did not organize any serious and decisive struggle, and threw the combative workers’ vanguard into the electoral trap, which legitimized with a 54% of the votes, this Kirchner Government and infamous regime.
Then, these same parties were unified in lists of trade union opposition to the bureaucracy, in the food industry, the print workers, soap industry, etc., only to gather votes and not to organize a strong fight against the employers and the trade union bureaucracy, and they subjected the workers to the “organic bodies” and the statutes of the bureaucracy. And today when sectors go fighting for wage increases, they undergo the bureaucracy that kept control of unions, as it was expected, through electoral fraud, and refuse to even coordinate the different factories that they themselves lead or influence, in order to fight to breaking the capping on the wage increases in the collective bargains.
But that's not all. In the midst of such an attack, these currents are responsible for maintaining the division of the combative vanguard. So much so that the PO comes from "their" Trade Union Conference saying that next month they will call for a mobilization. Meanwhile, the PTS prepares "its" Conference of workers for July, and Socialist Left celebrates alone saluting as "a first step" that the Government removed Sarmiento railway concession from the hands of the TBA enterprise. Do you think they have called to unify the worker sectors that are fighting? Or set up the factory committees and coordinators? No, each of these parties serves its own game while dividing the vanguard of the working class, in a moments that the government, the employers, the union bureaucracy, the transnationals are  imposing the fraudulent collective gargainings, the capped wage increases, the dismissals, suspensions, the trials against the working-class fighters and a terrible labour casualization.
 
In its different electoral campaigns these currents that fill up their mouths talking about the "Coordinadoras" and "unity of the working class", have set up their "left front". But they still have an outstanding account with the combative Vanguard: the "front of the workers", which both preach, when is it to be made a reality? The tragedy is that these leaderships prevent the most militant sectors of the Argentine working class -which are that they lead and influence- from unifying, though this is within the reach of their hands.

It was enough to see today Hermosilla, a Kraft worker delegate and militant of the PTS talking before the television cameras that covered the roadblock of the feed industry workers in the Panamericana Highway, confronting  the wage capping signed by their union bureaucrat Daer: there Hermosilla sadly did not say a single word of coordinating with the Rioplatense workers who were holding an assembly in their plant, with the workers in the busline 60 who are also in a state of Permanent Assembly, with the workers of the Enfer plant struggling against dismissals... and much less with the Sabo workers who want to impose their demands. It was a pity, a wasted opportunity, but it is a fact that the reformist currents are enemies of this perspective.
 
Their program, which is that of the left wing of the World Social Forum, is: let each sector of the working class to continue fighting alone, so that they can submit each isolated sector to the institutions of the regime and  the trade union bureaucracy, ending to each fight in the dead-end of class collaboration, i.e.the same disastrous policy that all these currents of the reformist left have always applied in every fight and so expensively are the vanguard workers and youth paying for.

Sectors of the workers vanguard come to the fight against the attack of the employers and the Government

Enough of fighting dispersed!
Every body to Sabo to set up a...

NATIONAL COMMAND FOR FIGHTING now to unify all those who are fighting!
We must pave the way for the General Strike!

Today the bosses and their allies are having a party while downloading their attack on the workers backs, because the union bureaucracy, with the collaboration of the reformist left, have submitted the labor movement to the bourgeoisie, its regime and its institutions, and thus they have hand-tied the proletariat and the exploited so that they are hampered to  respond the attack of their executioners.
 
But at each step, sectors emerging to fight, rebelling against the terrible suffering that people live in deep Argentina, creates the conditions for organizing a great fight against this lackey Government, the bloodsucking transnationals and the slaveholding employers.
That’s because despite and against all their leaderships, and despite all the betrayal suffered by the workers ' movement, wide working-class sectors are trying to respond to the employer's attack like the Sabo workers, busline 60 workers, and workers in various metallurgical and autopart factories as in Bosch, Enfer and Petrak; the workers of the food industry, with their vanguard in Arcor Cordoba; the workers in the meat-processing industry; the sea-fish canners; the exploited people in Famatina and other cities in (Andean provinces) La Rioja and Catamarca who continue fighting against mining MNCs.
 
 These sectors of the working class and the exploited masses demonstrate that there is a predisposition to struggle in wide stripes of our class, as it was also shown on June 8 in the Micheli CTA one day strike, where against the same Micheli who was trying to make a "day of make-believe struggling"; in hundreds of workplaces, rank and file workers took into their hands and guaranteed the strike.
 
 This wave of harsh partial struggles express  in a set the most pressing demands of the labor movement. They attack the plan of the Government and imperialism of deepening the "model" of the "maquila" Argentina and of making the MNCs continue bleeding the nation with their voracious plundering.
 
For this reason, these sectors cannot continue fighting alone even for a minute more. Each day that passes and that these struggles remain isolated, not coordinate or centralized, it is a valuable time in favour of the Government, the employers and trade union bureaucracy, which concentrate all the strength of their institutions in a point to defeat the workers sector by sector.
 
 To give just one example: this is what today are experiencing firsthand Sabo workers. From mid-May, they are starring in a big fight with a single list of claims, calling to coordinate all sectors that are fighting and all combative organizations at the national level and to fight for the general strike of the UOM. The bureaucracy was devoted to encircle and isolate the struggle of the workers, while the FIT and other currents of the reformist left refused to go to the call of the workers to effectively coordinate the struggles. All this allowed the  employers dismiss about 80 workers on last June 12, transforming the offensive fight for better working conditions, wage increases and the payment at 100% of the hours worked on Saturday -into a defensive fight for the reinstatement of the dismissed workers.
 
Enough is enough! We have to break the isolation! A step forward in that direction has been stepped by the delegation of Indiel workers, Paty delegates and other comrades who approached the plant of Sabo to show their solidarity. This is the path that must be walked further!  Now from the 60 busline, from Kraft, Enfer, Bosch, INTI, Indiel, the meatprocessors and other sectors in struggle or that are organizing against their employers, there must go now to Sabo for realizing the motion of the coordination comrades and a single list of demands.
 
 The demands raised by the workers of Sabo of: no lay-offs, " equal pay for equal work, ", "all the workers to the permanent staff", "jobs recategorization", against occupational diseases and for the payment of the overtime at 100%, are part of the demands that could unify the workers who fight against the fraudulent collective bargainings, such as meat-packing and food workers; the unregistered, outsourced, casualised workers and immigrants  all of whom have no rights at all; those who defend their jobs against the dismissals and suspensions; to the exploited facing the transnational imperialists who plunder the natural resources of Argentina.
 
The first step to organize a great fight against the attack of the capitalists and advance to conquer these demands is to prevent the government, the employers and imperialism fromdefeating the fighting now in progress. So: everybody to Sabo! We must unify all the sectors that are struggling and the worker organizations taken from the hands of the bureaucracy! National command for fighting now, to coordinate those who are fighting, centralizing the combat with a single list of claims and a program to unify the ranks of workers, and prepare a great fight against this anti worker Government, imperialism, the slaveholding employers and the treacherous bureaucrats,!

 This is the perspective that today the Argentine working class needs to deal with the attack of the capitalists and to fulfill all its demands. This is the way that the proletariat, the only truly national class, the producer of the richness, can put their mark on the society. It is a crime that the only ones weighing are all the parasitic classes of this society, which produce nothing! Enough is enough! The working class must return to weigh in the national political life! There must return the roadblocks, picketing, factory takeovers, the coordinating bodies (“Coordinadoras”)! For a national workers General Staff for fighting! We must pave the way for the General strike for all the most pressing demands of the working class and the exploited, which we will impose it marching on the CGT and the CTA!
 
 Reduction of working hours and sharing of working hours among all the arms available, with a minimum living wage of $7,000, indexed according to inflation and the cost of living! Down with the fraudulent capped collective bargaining rigged by the bureaucrats with the bosses and the Labor Ministry! Down with the "income tax" applied to the labor wage! Down with the skyrocketing increases on the public services fees! Elimination of the VAT!  

No more dismissals or suspensions! Nationalization without compensation and under worker control of any factory that closes, suspends or dismisses its workers!
 
 Equal pay for equal work,! Every worker must be registered and under collective contract! Down with labour slavery of Kirchner’s and her "Argentina works" plan! Down with the piquetero bureaucracy! Committees of subcontracted, unregistered, immigrant, suspended and unemployed workers, to fight alongside the unionized workers and resume the path of the heroic piquetero movement that confronted the "menemato" in the ' 90s!
 
 Immediate tripling of public health and education budget! 4 hours of study and 4 hours of work for the working youth, guaranteed by the employers and the State!
 
 Nationalization without compensation and under worker control of public transport, YPF and all the privatized enterprises! For a single transport plan controlled by a Committee of workers, users and relatives to the comrades killed in the Sarmiento “accident”!, funded by progressive tax on large fortunes, non-payment of the external debt and the reserves of the Central Bank, to ensure free, quality and safe transport for the workers and exploited!
 
 Against the scam of  the "housing plan" of the Kirchner government that has stained tis hands with the blood of the martyrs of the Indoamericano Park and Ledesma in Jujuy, who were killed for fighting for land and housing: For a plan of public works under workercontrol to ensure housing, schools, hospitals, etc. to all the exploited, on the basis of the expropriation without compesation of the private banks and progressive taxes on large fortunes!
 
 Freedom for all workers made prisoners for fighting and acqyuttal for all the worker and popular fighters! Working-class and popular courts to prosecute and punish all the murderers of yesterday and today!

To conquer all these demands, we must realize the motion of the Bolivian workers, and of the workers and the youth of Chile: expropriation without compensation and under worker control of all bloodsucker imperialist transnationals and bankers! They are who take away the money that would serve to finance all the needs of workers and exploited. That’s why we must " crush the corporations " and their partners of the native bourgeoisie. We must expropriate them their factories, property, assets, banks and land. It is necessary to nationalize foreign trade and ensure a single State-owned banking under worker control.

In order to succeed: the working class needs a revolutionary and internationalist leadership at its head

All the leaderships of the reformist left want to make workers believe that it is possible to get their just claims by pressing the Government, the Parliament, the bosses’ justice, the Labour Ministry and other bourgeois institutions, and demanding the Trade Union bureaucracies –that are paid agents of the employers. These currents, centralized at the international level in the World Social Forum, dedicate to beautify this rotten system, seeking to create the illusion among the workers of the world  that it is possible to "reform" the imperialist capitalism.
 
Against them, the Trotskyists of the LOI-CI / Democracia Obrera, militants of the Fourth International in Argentina affirm that not only it is a question of life and death the need to unify the ranks of the workers at national level to conquer a centralized combat against the Government, imperialism and the employer, but also it has become a decisive necessity a unified fight of the entire Southern Cone working-class.
 
 Imperialism has stratified its large-scale production throughout the Southern Cone, which allows corporations confront the workers struggles, having the possibility of blackmailing workers by taking their production from one to the other side of the border and from there to export their goods, which would leave completely powerless the combat of the working class.
 
Therefore  the enormous struggle that today the working class in Argentina has befor itself to conquer its just demands is the same struggle for unifying the working class of the entire MERCOSUR against transnational corporations that impose dismissals, suspensions and a brutal labor flexibilization against Argentine, Brazilian workers, etc. on each side of the borders. It is the same struggle to coordinate the workers throughout Latin America together with workers and the Chilean youth who have returned to revolt, against the imperialist plundering and anti worker Governments of the Americas – whether they are "Bolivarian" or signatories of the FTA – which apply strictly the plans of their imperialist chiefs.
 
To carry out these tasks against all the world reformist left which subdues the workers country by country to their own bourgeoisie, workers should set up a revolutionary and internationalist leadership with a program and a strategy to carry the fighting of the working class to victory. An internationalist leadership that fights to get Latin American workers together with their best allies, U.S. workers that in the heart of the imperialist beast confront Obama and Wall Street parasites; it should fight for the workers of all the continent to stand up alongside the Cuban workers to throw down the Castro brothers and prevent the restoration of capitalism in the island; it should also fight ceaselessly so that the world working class rise up against Al - Assad the Jackal - the friend of Chavez, Castro, Morales, Kirchner and other "Bolivarian" rascals- who slaughters the rebellious Syrian masses for the sake of imperialism; this leadership should  fight, too, against the Parliamentary traps imposed in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, so that the working class of the region can conquer their bread by advancing towards the seizure of power and setting the whole Mediterranean on fire for revolution to be started in Greece and across Europe.

This is the only real breakthrough in favor of the workers, because what appears clearer every day – as we Trotskyists will not get tired of repeating - is that the Argentine working class is paying very dearly for not having been able to take power in 2001 due to the treachery of its leaderships.
Just returning to this path of the 2001 revolution of  and carrying it to victory, the proletariat, as leader of the oppressed nation and, may impose the break with imperialism, expropriate the expropriators and conquer all its demands, making reality the cry of "that everyone of them goes away, not a single one must stay" as a link of the Socialist Revolution across the continent and around the world.
 
We the Trotskyists of the FLTI are fighting ceaselessly against all leaderships of the World Social Forum and the Fifth International, for giving the proletariat the revolutionary leadership it needs and deserves, which is none other than the foundation anew of the Fourth International of 1938, the World Party of Socialist Revolution.
 
To achieve this, it is necessary to conquer an international regrouping of the revolutionary forces of the world working class. The forces for this task are already beginning to stand up in the fighting waged by the exploited in different parts of the world. For this reason from the FLTI we call all principled forces of international Marxism, revolutionary worker organizations and workers and young people who are looking for a revolutionary way, to set up an international bloc under the flags of the Fourth International to build a revolutionary leadership for the victory of the Argentinean and world proletariat.
