Syria:

 Breaking news
The assassin Al-Assad, supported by imperialism and with the weapons provided by the lackeys of transnationals Putin and Hu Jintao, has launched a counteroffensive to smash the Syrian revolution

The workers and exploited masses of Hama, Homs and Damasco don't give up!
International brigades from the workers organizations
S to fight and break the fence of the heroic Syrian masses!

In Damascus, Homs and their working districts thousands of workers are bleeding, under the murderous bullets of Al-Assad’s army; most of them are already unemployed and starving. They have tied their faith, their children and their life to the triumph of the heroic revolution that started.

The bourgeoisie isn’t fighting in the working districts of the rebel cities of Syria, neither are the imperialist forces. They support Al-Assad and other agents so they defeat the masses.

In the barricades of the rebel suburbs in the cities of Syria, i.e. the battle front there aren’t “democratic generals” nor SNC, but the exploited masses, barely armed, rank and file soldiers (children, husbands and brothers of the exploited masses, who put their weapons to fight with them), the workers with homemade weapons, fighting against the murderous army of Al-Assad, which can’t occupied working districts, where the fight is face to face, house to house.

Army of Free Syria, led by some “democratic” General of Al-Assad and SNC? MY ASS! THAT’S A LIE! They are just the masses fighting with some rifles of the soldiers who change sides.

Even imperialist media must admit it, which sent correspondents, after the Arab League left, to oversee how Al-Assad was slaughtering the masses. The interviews made in Damascus and Homs by Reuters and newspaper “La Nación” (Argentina) proves it. The journalists of imperialism must admit surprised that one of the most powerful armies of Middle East hasn’t been able to occupy the working districts of the cities that it is fencing. Because in those districts, the combat is the method of classes’ civil war, house to house.

The Syrian revolution tries to be fenced and slaughtered. The fence must be broken! The masses need arms, medicines and fighters! Weapons for Syria! Death to the killer Al-Assad!

From the FLTI, we affirmed that the Arab League left Syria because it let the hands free to Al Assad so that he can slaughter and make the “dirty work” for all, first of all, the imperialism.
The SNC, kept in Qatar, is an “escape valve” for the imperialism if the murderous Al Assad fails and the masses take a revolutionary offensive to overthrow him. The SNC is there to expropriate the revolution, to prevent the revolution from coordinating with all the revolutionary process of the North of Africa, Middle East and the entire world. No support to the SNC no support to the Arab League, they are the representatives of the fake native bourgeoisie of Middle East, lackeys of the imperialism!

The worker neighbors of Syria are already under the siege and counterrevolutionary attack as it was the Madrid of the militias men fenced by Franco in the 30’s or the Warsaw ghetto which resisted against the Nazis up to the last blood drop in the World War II. It is a heroic resistance, as the one in Fallujah.  It gives back the slaughter and the rubbles, as a boomerang, to the face of the treacherous and reformist leadership of the world proletariat who has fenced, slandered, denigrated and made the heroic Syrian masses to pose as agent of the imperialism and CIA.  These leaderships yesterday made the same with the Libyan masses.

Now it is clear why this huge slander campaign against the heroic militias of Libya.  As last instance, it was about to siege Syria for the masses not to get armed, for the army not be split and mainly for Egypt and Tunisia not to follow this path.

This counterrevolutionary offensive of the imperialism and its agent in the region, which gets into the heart of the exploited ones of Middle East, is the same offensive hitting Egypt and also the Greek and Spanish working class, so tortured, hungered and plundered as their class brothers in the Maghreb and Middle East

All the imperialist forces have concentrated in Syria to teach the world working class and their revolutionary process a lesson.  The imperialism must show that the ones who dare to fight and revolt for bread and against the exploiters are left destroyed and killed

The photo of the destroyed Homs and Damascus with the dead bodies of the workers all over the streets are shown to the world proletariat eyes so they see the fate they will have if they keep revolting.
For that reason, today Syria defines, in a great way, the fate of the working class in the immediate period. The Syrian masses cannot be isolated! In Syria the fate of the world proletariat is defined and mainly the fate of the revolutions in Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia, revolutions already started!

The reports reproduced by La Nacion newspaper (Argentina) on February 9th, 2012 on the resistant in the neighborhood Baba Amor –outside Homs- informed that there, in a neighborhood with a population of 28.000 –most of them unemployed workers-, they received 500 mortars in their heads per day by the murderous Al Assad army, armed by Putin and Hu Jintao and the shots of hundreds of snipers who fire a shot to anything that moves.

The journalist wonders “What happened with the army? And she continued answering herself: “The regime does not trust their soldiers.  Many of them have already deserted because they deny killing the Syrian people.  Other ones are even from the city or from the surroundings of Homs.  How are they going to fire against their own family?”
In that city people say that if Al Assad troops get into Homs, the revolution will die.  Their fighters affirmed that the unemployment in Homs reached 37% and even today is 70%. Only in that worker neighbor of Homs, with almost a population of 30.000 people, there were 274 dead, 2000 wounded in the fight and more than 500 houses damaged, while it is fenced by more than 40 Syrian army check points. 

The journalist of Reuters agency, who made reports in the neighborhood Saqba, outside Damascus, cannot believe it. This neighborhood is just 50 blocks from the Government Palace.  She thought to see the “Free Syrian Army” and she found, as she said, with a “conglomerate of deserter and volunteers with diverse origin.  They went up armed (very few) against the regime that have ruled Syria for the last 40 years.”
The fighters shout: “Only with this we confront one of the most powerful armies in Middle East!” showing their Kalashnikovs. Some of them wear uniforms, others wear jeans…
In this worker neighbor of Damascus there are no physical barriers.  The journalist affirmed that the “militia men know that if it is necessary, they will be the barrier. They hope if they kept firm, the help will come from outside…”

It is time the masses and their organizations to arrive first to the battle field of the exploited ones of Syria.  In this way they will see that the only and truly allies are the workers of the region, Europe and world.
The Russian and Chinese working class must upsurge against the murderous of Putin and Hu Jintao, who armed up to the teeth, on behalf of imperialism, the genocide troops of Al Assad.
Let the masses and their organizations paralyze the docks of Russia, China, Europe and the entire North of Africa and the world so it will not get a single rifle or single ammunition to Al Assad troops!

The Syrian fighters said: “if Syria falls, all the revolutions in the North of Africa and Middle East will fall”.  There, the counterrevolution forces have concentrated. That is the perfidious policy of the exploiters.  Hu Jinatao and Putin fully armed the murder Al Assad so he can do the “dirty work” of killing the masses.  NATO intervention?  For what? So far Al Assad shows that he can kill the masses and the Syrian revolution is isolated for the treason of the proletariat leadership.
The jackal must do the “dirty work”.  For that reason the Arab League left while the SNC and their generals are kept saved in Qatar.
The imperialism will intervene directly –and we do not doubt it will do it- if it can be defeated the murderous regime of Damascus by the armed masses.  This is not the situation so far.
For that reason NATO intervened in Libya, because the Khadafy troops –its counterrevolutionary agent- could be smashed by the fighters of Misrata and Bengasi.

Long live the heroic resistance of Homs and Damascus! Worker militias of the entire North of Africa, Middle East and Europe to go to fight in Syria!
In Syria, Egypt, Libya or Tunisia the fate of the European, US and world working class is at stake!
Enough of silence! It is necessary to stand up together with the exploited masses of Syria! It is necessary to show deeply to the world working class the ones that with any excuse try to isolate the Syrian masses and do not call to fight in the barricades of Saqba in Damascus or Baba Amro in Homs!

Today, the entire imperialist press tends to give into account what all the workers already know: there is 27% of unemployment in Spain, and Greece goes towards there.  Hundreds of thousands of workers do not get their pensions or their wages in the imperialist Europe of Maastricht in bankruptcy.  Meanwhile the Eastern East of Europe and Russia only give slave labor force and gas for the imperialist Europe. In USA, there are 43 million of unemployed workers; they live with a U$3 subsidy per day.
Homs and Damascus are like the Tottenham of England, the Madrid of the Spanish state, the French cites and the neighborhoods of Berlin where the Turkish, Ukrainian immigrant workers are crammed or like the workers from Middle East, behind the jail and in concentration camps as the immigrant workers from Africa settle as slaves in Lampedusa Is, in Italy.

The Trotskyist of the FLTI chooses our place in the struggle barricade. Out the genocide Al Assad and their murderous officers! Nor Homs or Damascus gets surrender!
Down with the butcher Putin and the jail keeper of the Chinese working class Hu Jintao!
Nor the Arab League! Nor the SNC! Smash Al Assad! For a power to the uprising masses, their militias and fighting organizations!
With them we stand up the slogans, painted with red blood color: “Yala irhal ya Bashar” (Out Bashar now!)
Out from the worker organizations the bureaucracy and the social imperialist parties supporting the profits of the transnational, the financial capital and bankers, meanwhile they isolate, disorganize and decentralize the heroic fights of the world proletariat!

The Syrian regime is the regime of a cap state which guarantees the frontiers of the counterrevolutionary Zionist state of Israel –jailer of the Palestine masses- and the occupied Iraq by the imperialist troops.  The falling down of such regime will mean the fall of these frontiers and the coming back of the Palestinian and Iraqi masses to the struggle against the imperialist occupation.

On the contrary, a victory of Al Assad and his army, a truly occupation troop of Syria on behalf of imperialism will transform Syria and the entire North of Africa and Middle East into a concentration camp as the one where the Palestine masses live.

Al Assad’s back is covered by the native bourgeoisie who poses as “anti imperialist”, as Hezbollah leadership in Lebanon or the Ayatollahs, expropriators and killers of the best of the revolution which overthrew Sha Reza Pahlevi in Iran in 79.
In Lebanon, the bourgeoisie, allied to Al Assad, controls the government in that country, whose representative is the most important millionaire from Beirut, who controls all the business of the telecommunications and the reconstruction of Lebanon. It is the bourgeoisie who came to expropriate the heroic fight of the worker and peasants masses in the South of Lebanon. They were the ones who defeated the counterrevolutionary Zionist army of Israel in 2006 when it tried to invade the region.

This bourgeoisie led by Hezbollah showed to be fully submitted to the imperialism.  The same does the Palestine bourgeoisie, which profits come from managing the concentration camps of its own tortured people.  Hama and AL Fatah try to leave isolated the uprising masses of Syria. They closed an agreement to support the “two state” plan of Obama, based on the ‘67 borders.  Today they hug each other and agree because they are scared of the Palestinian masses, following the example of their class brothers of Syria, get armed and go to fight as they did in 2001, disarming the Palestinian police and confronting the soldiers of the Zionist army.

The fall of Al Assad regime, as it was the fall of Mubarak, will make fall own, as dominoes, all the revolution contention mechanisms in the Middle East imposed by the imperialism since the ‘48 with the foundation of the counterrevolutionary Zionist state of Israel that occupied the Palestine nation. For imperialism is fundamental to maintain Al Assad regime.  This controls hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are in Syria and Lebanon while it controls the borders of the Zionist state of Israel.  These borders were never questioned by Al Assad, it was not questioned before nor now, when it is making juicy business with the telecommunication companies, as Al Assad said, in order to “make Syria modern”.

The Iranian Ayatollahs, even with a partial blockade and a military threat from USA, they have not touched a single imperialist property in their country.  They keep the business with the oil refinery. In Germany the Iranian oil is processed. They keep doing juicy business with the transnationals that plunder China, meanwhile the “fighters of the Islamic revolution” go and come back to Japan, to whom they guarantee the Iranian oil plunder. 

For that reason, the native bourgeoisies, lackeys of the imperialism, grouped or not in the Arab League, do not have the solution to end with the suffering of the Syrian masses.  The imperialist power have even less the solution, they are the ones that plunder all the nations of the North of Africa and Middle East.  They throw their crisis… and their counter revolutionary armies to these countries, as it was in Iraq or they occupy them as it was in Palestine.
The solution for the freedom of the working class and the exploited ones of Syria, Middle East and the entire North of Africa is in the hand of the world working class and the coordination and centralization of their fights.
The European, US and Japanese working class need to see themselves reflected in the Syrian, North of Africa and Middle East’s mirror, in their “bloody ghetto and Bantus”.  Up to there the imperialism need to take their own working class if it wants to leave its crisis and bankruptcy.  Seeing in the Syrian mirror is to live in Greece or in Spain.

Today, all the garbage bags of the old Stalinist parties have gone out in order to save the murderous Al Assad in Syria. They are all under the skirt of the imperialist servants of Putin and Hu Jintao.

A sector of the renegades of Trotskyism missing their old masters from Stalinism, today are under the skirt of Putin, and Hu Jintao who have become the biggest agents of imperialism inside Russia and China.

These renegades of Trotskyism need a more elegant justification in order to leave isolated the masses which are being killed by the murderous troops of Al Assad.  They say: “Out NSC!” But the NSC is in Qatar! It is a terrible enemy of the masses.  It isolates completely the masses fight.  It creates illusions that with the help from outside, from the “democratic imperialism” it is possible to win.  It is prepared as an imperialism’s “escape valve”, but in the case that the masses, in a counteroffensive, defeat Al Assad.

But the renegades of Trotskyism do not call to break the siege that the NSC and the imperialism impose to the heroic fighters in Syria, so that Al Assad kills them.
Let’s speak clearly.  The European social imperialist parties, the left who make trips and touristic tours to Tunisia and Egypt, their followers around the world, all of them, absolutely all of them denied setting up a powerful front of the worker organizations of Egypt, Tunisia or Libya as the fighters from Bengasi proposed and did marching towards Syria to fight.

 They are supposed to be “against the NSC”, meanwhile they all support the “NCS” of Tunisia and Egypt which organize fraudulent elections.  But also, they keep silent on the slaughter done by Al Assad against the workers and the exploited ones in the neighbors of Damascus, Homs, Hama, so on.

The Arab League sent an imperialist puppet delegation so they can report to the imperialism weather Al Assad could smash the masses or not. They went all over Syria and they declares: “there are a possibility for that, let’s  go out and let Al Assad kill”.
Why don’t the worker organizations call to make demonstrations, fight in the streets, general strikes for their Syria brothers, shut the docks from where weapons are sent to Al Assad, call not to board them and as part of this fight occupy the Syria embassies in the most important capitals of the world? Why not to call to set up international worker brigades in order to fight in Syria?

Syria unmasks that the revolutionary process in North of Africa and Middle East are for bread, against the hunger, the unemployment and the plundering. This goes against all the chatters who call themselves “progressive”, “anti-imperialist” or “leftist”. These processes fight against the puppet government of the imperialism, because the working class and the exploited ones draw the conclusion that if they do not fight, they will not get bread.

There are going to be “Arab spring” with bread, work and national independence. This will be only conquered by the working class and their allies the poor people of the rural areas and the city in power.
The rest is a lie from the petit bourgeoisie chatters of the reformist left, who are very far from the hell that the Syrian, Egyptian, Tunisia or Libya masses live, as they did not take power the sufferings and the starvation conditions increase day by day. The reformism today is unmasked by the life itself.
The masses want bread, work and in order not to die of hunger, they prefer die fighting.  For that reason an old worker, with a son dead and other in jail, affirmed that if he has a third child this will be a militia man. 
From the FLTI we call to deep at international level the fighting actions and solidarity with the uprising masses of Syria and Middle East.
It is necessary to reinforce centralize and coordinate the effort of the organizations in struggle of the world working class! Yesterday the forces of the “indignados” who occupy Wall Street and the ones who upsurge in Madrid were coordinated. It was coordinated, in common, the fight of the Japanese student and workers together with the militant student and worker youth of Chile and Colombia.  This is the way to break the siege of the masses fighting! Let’s set up an action commission and international fight, without loosing more time, in support of the Syria masses to go and make justice (executed) the murderous Al Assad as it was done with the jackal Khadafy in Libya. 

For the defeat of the occupation army of Al Assad, on behalf of imperialism!
International brigades of the worker organizations to fight in Syria!
Neither the Arab League nor the NSC! Out the imperialist lackeys of Hu Jintao and Putin! For a revolutionary government of the uprising masses!
Today, in Syria the fate of the world working class is at stake!
 FIGHT SIDE BY SIDE THE HEROIC FIGHTERS OF SYRIA!

International Executive Committee of the FLTI.
