We endorse the call of militant solidarity of the Libyan militias May 1st, 2012 From the Revolutionary Socialist Current (CSR- El Topo Obrero) we salute the public meeting held this May Day with different organizations, among them the UGTT (Tunisia), PCOT, UIT-CI and others to debate on the situation on Syria and approach the task of solidarity with the fight of the Syrian masses. The militiamen say: “…In your call you denounce those who gathered a month ago in Tunisia to support the imperialist plan in Syria and correctly denounce those who supported Ben Ali and the dictators of the REGION with money and weapons. For the same reason comrades, your meeting (even if you haven’t invited us to unite our forces in a common struggle) won’t be at the same level of the heroic fight of the Syrian masses unless it is put at the service of all worker organizations for collecting money and weapons for the Syrian masses among the worker organizations of Tunisia and the world. This is what the “friends” of the dictators of the region did and it is what we have to do with our friends, the exploited people of Syria…” We endorse this call to put the tools of fight, all the forces gathered by us, the revolutionaries at world level, as we represent hundreds of thousands workers, all our political weapons, at the service of the militant solidarity towards the masses who are fighting against Al-Assad. Solidarity means calling Tunisian Trade Union to call actions in the streets to develop workers and popular force, to break the fence and isolation that want to be imposed to the Syrian masses who have been slaughtered but who are resisting and waiting international support. From Venezuela we, the CSR-El Topo Obrero, have been defending the banners of the unity of the working class at national and international level, to resist the fierce attack of the world exploiters who, before such economic crisis insist on making us, the ones who produce the wealth, pay the cost of the imperial policies. Masses resistance to the capitalist voracity in Europe, Middle East, North of Africa, USA, Latin America –among others- has red hot places that show the way forward of the fight and how to unify it, and how to empower forward to the construction of socialism. The task of the empire is preventing such unification of wills over the base of common proposals; that why the empire is trying to keep the workers of the world divided, preventing that the defense of the Syrian masses’ fight be taken as what it is: the center of the confrontation of the world working class against international capitalism. … “…In the meetings and rallies of this May Day peoples are fighting while they vote resolutions to redouble the fight from May 2nd on. Therefore we propose to call together to set up an International Committee comprising all the worker combat organizations that are really for the defeat of the dominant powers and the exploiting national bosses to ensure the arrival of weapons, medicine, ammunition, and arms that carry them on so that our brothers and sisters in Syria succeed and can throw down Assad, because if we have effectively the will nothing can stop us. You are well aware that if we want it, nothing can prevent it. We insist, there’s no time to lose…” CSR – El Topo Obrero |
