D., a student
member of the Committee in Support of the Syrian Masses in Argentina
Comrades, my name
is D. and I am part of the Committee for Syria. This Committee was formed
because of the declaration of the comrades from Tripoli who called for
international actions to denounce the al Assad massacre and in support of the
Syrian comrades. Very few of us joined this appeal.
There are currents that claim to be on the workers’ side and "left fronts" which in their vast majority say they are with the workers, but when you have to fight they prefer to continue fighting for a seat in the Parliament, rather than fighting side by side in an international struggle in favor of the working class.
National Trotskyist and Social Democratic parties, which say they are for the "socialist revolution" in their discussions of internal committees or during meetings with their comrades they do not mention such a historical massacre against working people in Syria. The same comrades speak of repression -but they ignore the massacre the entire people of Syria is living today. The same comrades who speak in the name of "socialism" instead of defending it, stay quiet while negotiating a seat in the provincial legislature.

Comrades, we must
join the Committee for Syria and defend the comrades who are being massacred.
The Cristina (Kirchner, N.Ed.) Government which have relationships with the massacrers sends the federal police to “say hello" to us and say "I`m going on with the imperialism, the ones that repress and massacre."

So comrades, we must go on militating about what is
happening in Syria. It is a revolution that is being slaughtered. Either all
the organizations and comrades start fighting together in favor of our class
comrades or the revolution will be lost and fascism will be imposed.
So comrades, thanks for coming to the act and continue fighting for Syrian people and our class comrades. Thanks

on behalf of Paty Workers Commission.
Comrades, I have the honor to be here with
you, young students, some parties and internal committees, and to be part of
the international working class.
What we propose is that we can help from this International Commission of factory workers comitting us to participate in this campaign, and that's what we were doing in the Committee in Support of the Syrian Masses in Argentina.
We must take this campaign everywhere, we have to call all internal committees, and unions recovered from the bureaucracy, combative sectors, and raise up the working class in a campaign going to all the layers of workers to break down the siege (that the false friends of the workers have mounted, N.Ed.) within the own working class, comrades.
For the unity of the working class! Thanks, comrades,

Montoya, a leader of Democracia Obrera
(Workers Democracy)
Good evening,
comrades. We are finally here. And as you see the Bolivarians are the escorts
of the fascists of Al-Assad. Not only Chavez sells them oil but also Kirchner
with his murderous police takes care of them so that we cannot reach the door of
the Syrian Embassy.
They all know very well that in North Africa and Middle East there are not mere mobilizations or revolutions "for democracy." They know very well that the masses are fighting for bread and in their fight for bread the exploited masses have opened a chain of worker and socialist revolutions throughout North Africa and Middle East, which by the hand of the Greek exploited threatens to enter the heart of imperialist Europe.

They know very well that the masses are fighting for bread and in their fight for bread the exploited masses have opened a chain of worker and socialist revolutions throughout North Africa and Middle East, which by the hand of the Greek exploited threatens to enter the heart of imperialist Europe.
Today these
Menemist rats of the Syrian-Lebanese bourgeoisie, guarded by Al-Assad’s police
that is the same Kirchner’s police in Argentina, accuse us of being supporters
to imperialism. That same slander was raised by the World Social Forum and all
its organizations worldwide accusing the Libyan people of being armed by
imperialism. This calumny was destroyed by the Libyan masses themselves who
made murderous Qaddafi’s head roll down. Precisely this slander had the
objective of isolating the Libyan masses, its aim was politically enclosing the
Syrian working class and exploited masses so Al-Assad, on behalf of
imperialism, the whole Arab League and the Zionist rats of the fascist state of
Israel, could massacre the greatest vanguard that raised up in Middle East to
continue the Palestinian struggle. They are the slaughtered Syrian masses of
Homs, Deraa, Damascus, and Idlib that once again raise up and do not surrender.
This
is what make them go crazy, this is what fill them with despair. They were
waiting for the surrender of the exploited; but there is no surrender here
because the masses have conquered the conditions for fighting. Nobody gave them
the conditions as a gift.
From
Europe, form USA and the rest of the
Americas they told us that “there are no conditions” for marching for Syria. But the masses, in the worst of
situations, beside common graves full of their beloved ones, stood up again and
went on fighting from the debris of the bombed working class
neighborhoods. This stubborness of the
Syrian masses is the reality that obliges imperialists to prepare with the help
of the UNO, Hu Jintao, Putin and the Arab League each time a superior massacre.
Though,
comrades, Beware! Because once al Assad has done the “dirtiy job”, imperialism
willo try to enter Syria with the UNO. We cannot allow it to do that. We already
know them. We aready know how they act. They are tose which have worked always
as caretakers of the Zinost borders, beccause they are afraid, very afraid that
the Palesinian masses turn again to the streets, burn once more the police
stations of Fatah and Hamas, arming themselves and sweeping away the Zionist
State of Israel for good.
Because
today the siege was broken in the north of Syria, from Hatay, -which is an old
Syrian province that since 1939 is in the hands of Turkish imperialists- and
form Lebanon, with the insurrectin and the revolts of the masses.
The
siege we are not breaking it here: it has began to be broken by the masses, as
for example the 400 mosques in Tunisia that have sent their youth with the
Quran under their armpits to combat in Syria; or the Libyan exploited in
Bengazhi, Tripoli and Misratah that did not wait for anyone to act and armed
the militas and the international brigades sending them to fight in Syria, as
happened in the ‘30s in the Spanish Civil War.
That’s
why it is a shame that the international worker brigadas aren’t yet standing
up, organizad as they were for example in argentina in the ‘30s, when comrades
of the bakers union travelled to Sapin with nurses and Money, in support of the
struggle against Franco’s fascism. What are we waiting for, that we don’t carry
just now this motion to the working class?
Because
what unifies us, the world’s exploited, to fight alongside the Syrian masses is
not merely the struggle against imperialism. That is a common notion that we share,
they are the same massacrers there and here. But in the same way that in the 19th
Century we were united by an international fight for the 8 hours, today in
order to conquer bread, what unifies us is the fight for the worker and
socialist revolution, so that the working class seizes the power.
Thanks,
comrades.
