Statement of the FLTI on Palestine question

November 16, 2012

PALESTINE

While Al-Assad keeps massacring the Syrian masses on account of the imperialist power`s interests...

Now Zionism under the command of Obama, bombs brutally the Palestinian masses

 STOP THE MASSACRE AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN MASSES IN GAZA!

DEFEAT AL-ASSAD WHO DEFENDS THE ZIONISM’S BORDERS BY MASSACRING THE Heroic SYRIAN MASSES!

One single fight against imperialism and exploiters in Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and the whole region!

The working class in the imperialist countries and oppressed People confront in the streets the attack against their gains on the part of the counterrevolutionary governments of the bankers and transnational companies

1% OF PARASITES AND PLUNDERERS OF THE PLANET ARM ZIONISM TO THE TEETH TO SMASH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

Like masses chant in the streets of Egypt:

WE ALL TO FIGHT SIDE BY SIDE OUR BROTHERS OF GAZA!

FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ZIONIST FASCIST STATE OF ISRAEL, GENDARME OF THE U.S. IMPERIALISM IN MIDDLE EAST!

FOR A FREE, SECULAR, AND DEMOCRATIC PALESTINE WITH ITS CAPITAL JERUSALEM!

FOR A REVOLUTIONARY WORKER AND PEASANT GOVERNMENT!

FOR THE SOCIALIST UNITED STATES OF THE MAGHREB AND MIDDLE EAST!

Since a week before the Zionist fascist State of Israel has launched a brutal attack against the Palestinian masses in the Gaza Strip commanded by Obama who cynically has affirmed that the State of Israel “has right to defend himself”. The only aggressor is the gendarme of the U.S. imperialism in Middle East, that is, the Zionist state that since more than 60 years has massacred, expelled from their own land the Palestinian masses condemning them to be in concentration camps at open sky in Gaza and the West Bank.

Dozens of Palestinian martyrs have fallen victims due to the bombs launched by the murderous army of Israel. Children, women, youth, elderly people and workers suffer the most savage military operative in Gaza, city sent to the middle age in the operation “Cast Lead” in 2008.

We are witnessing a counteroffensive of the yankee imperialism that tries to smash in a bloodshed the chains of revolutions of the North of Africa and Middle East. If now the imperialism can use the Zionist dog to massacre the Palestinian masses it is because Al-Assad armed to the teeth by Putin (Russia), Hu Jintao and his continuity Xi Jinping (China), and supported by the Iranian Ayathollas, has already done the “dirty work” imposing genocide in Syria. Thus, with the Syrian revolution besieged, as soon as Al Assad tries to end crushing by bombing and devastated land the last neighbourhood of the last city of Syria, Zionism -under Obama command- goes out to smash Palestinian masses. 

Against the fallacy and deception the pseudo-left have declared-all of them lackeys of Obama-: the only NATO troops that intervened in Middle East are those of zionism to massacre Palestinian masses! The genocide against the Syrian masses and bombs against the Palestinian masses are the same attack commanded by the butcher Obama and other imperialist powers to smash the revolutionary masses of the North of Africa and Middle East! Thus: Anyone who doesn´t confront the killer Al Assad, neither confronts Zionism!

With Obama now legitimized by the victory in the elections and the “Republicrat” regime strengthened, the U.S. imperialism through his watchdog –the State of Israel- has launched a new operation of extermination against the Palestinian masses under the name of “defensive Pillar”. But it is about a true “Operation Cast Lead 2” commanded by that “black Bush”, that is, Obama.

Today, USA can carry out this attack thanks to the support given by the World reformist left that backed Chávez, captain of the “Bolivarian Revolution” who called on people to vote for Obama in the presidential elections in USA. With the electoral traps in USA, Venezuela, and Chile in Latin America; with the union bureaucracy leading the European working class to the helplessness of begging the imperialist governments to “lessen” their attacks; with this left of the World Social Forum who claim to support the Zionsit “indignados”, who are part of the reserve army who is today going to invade Gaza; with the world left slandering against the Syrian masses by accusing them of being “CIA agents” and sustaining the cannons of Assad on one side, and sustaining the fake “Constituent Assemblies” and fraud elections in Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt...the imperialist bourgeoisie has decided to launch an offensive and give a lesson to the whole world working class and particularly in the region.

By accusing them of being “CIA agent” and supporting the canyons of Al-Assad on one hand and supporting the fake “Constituent Assemblies” and elections in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt… the imperialist bourgeoisie has decided launching the offensive and scare the entire world working class and in the region particularly.

What we are seeing is an answer from the imperialist pirates to the enormous worker socialist revolutions opened in Northern Africa and Middle East, propelled by a fierce attack that capitalist parasites overthrow over the world working class to leave its crisis behind. Enough! The crisis must be paid by those who caused it: capitalists’ parasites, the 1% of Wall Street bankers who steal the wealth of the world!

US working class have suffered the worst deception by the “blackened Bush” called Obama. Working class organizations must break now with Obama and set up again the “Million march men” against the counterrevolutionary blows of US imperialism in the world!

European working class is suffering now brutal attacks of a real war declared by capitalists against their conquers. There are millions starving and unemployed workers as suffer the Palestine, Syrian and the entire Maghreb and Middle East masses. Last November 14th there was a day protest in several European countries with strikes, demonstrations and street fights with the police show clearly the will to fight of the working class. However their leaders tie the hands with the program of begging the imperialist governments and regimes to “moderate” the attack, and they divide and separate from their class brothers of Northern Africa and Middle East. On this day all the leaderships of the European working class hide and keep hiding the genocide in Syria and the massacre in Palestine.

But despite the leaderships, sectors of the world working class are answering, defending themselves bravely and heroically from the war declared by the exploiters so they pay the crisis and support this rotten system in bankruptcy. The brave miners of Asturias fought under the slogan of “if there is no solution, there will be war, war, war”. Their call was taken by the Lonmin miners (South Africa) with the slogan of “12,500 rands or we kill the managers!”. 

Workers don’t surrender neither in Palestine, nor tormented Syria, nor the black rebel Africa! Those who surrender are the treacherous leaderships bought by capitalists! A single class a single fight! For a single fight unified at international level! In order the working class live, imperialism must die

Today in Middle East, alter Al-Assad massacre in Syria, alter new and higher attacks to the European and semi-colonial and colonial working class, the imperialist pirates and their lackeys from the native bourgeoisies are trying to prevent that the Palestine masses, who are the historical vanguard of the proletariat of Middle East, enter into combat and head the revolutionary and anti-imperialist fight in the area. We can’t allow it!

Demonstration in Istambul

There is a real “holy alliance” of the native bourgeoisies of Northern Africa and Middle East to look after the borders to the Zionist state of Israel.

Jackal Al-Assad and his occupation troops of imperialism and Zionism imposing a genocide in Syria to keep safe Golan Highs, which in controlled by Israel; and also preventing that those borders be erased by the revolutionary masses. The lie of the defenders of Al-Assad is exposed. They shout now that the state of Israel attacks the Palestine because “imperialism weakens” the Syrian government. Enough deception!

Mursi’s government and Muslim brotherhood (Egypt) boasts about the “condemn” to the Zionist massacre when they are the ones who support the Rafah wall in the borders of Gaza Strip. Enough lies! The masses in Egypt march against the Zionist embassy, they show the way with their war cry of: “Let’s get the arms and march over Gaza!”. Let’s open the border that Mursi and the Generals of the Mubarakist army look after to the State of Israel and let’s march with the Palestine masses to smash the Zionist gendarme!

In Jordan King Hussein is on charge of tormenting the Palestine Diaspora, who are the majority of the population (over 4 millions). But today the masses irrupt for bread against the increase of taxes and the cost of living, with the tendency of unify their fight with their class brothers in the historical Palestine. Down with King Hussein and Hashemita dynasty!

Hezbollah in Lebanon controls the Palestine masses in the refugees Camps so they don’t rebel in the entire Southern Lebanon as in 2006 when the exploited defeated the counterrevolutionary troops of the State of Israel. Out with the UN troops in Southern Lebanon who look after the back to the genocide army to the State of Israel!

How right was the slogan shouted by the Egyptian masses last February when they marched to the Syrian embassy shouting: “Al-Assad, Hezbollah, NATO and USA look alter the borders to Zionism”.

The destruction of the Zionist Fascist state of Israel is a task of the revolutionary masses on the region. The Tunisian masses must set up again! They are the spark that set on the revolutionary fire of Maghreb and Middle East the fraud of the “National Assembly”! In Egypt Tahrir Square must be recovered where Mubarak was defeated and march over Rafah Wall! Libyan masses and their militias must re-take their anti-imperialist fight to expel the Kaddafist Generals and politicians of LNC and march over Jerusalem!

A single class, a single revolution in the entire region!

Palestine flan should wave again in its capital, Jerusalem!

International Brigade of all the worker organizations to fight with the Palestinian masses!

For the destruction of the Zionist-Fascist State of Israel!

Down with the “two state” plan of UN, imperialism and the Arab League!

PALESTINE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY with delegates voted from the concentration camps of West Bank And Gaza to the entire Palestine taken by the counterrevolutionary attacks of the Zionism to Lebanon, Jordan, and other countries in the world.

Out with the Palestine bourgeoisie collaborationist of Obama and Zionism!

FOR A REVOLUTIONARY PROVISIONAL WORKER AND PEASANT GOVERNMENT INA SECULAR DEMOCRATIC AND NON-RACIAL PALESTINE BASED ON THE GENERAL ARMING OF THE MASSES!

For a single fight in Damascus and Jerusalem!

North of Africa and Middle East must be the grieve of imperialism and its lackeys

The working class of USA, Europe and other imperialist countries must stand up in support to the Palestinian masses.  It is necessary to boycott the war machinery that feed the Zionist gendarme! Revolutionary General Strike now!

Let the US and Zionist embassies burn again, but this time not only in North Africa and Middle East, but also in the entire world! “Yanquis go home!”

SYRIA STOP THE GENOCIDE AL-ASSAD IS PERFORMING ON ACCOUNT OF IMPERIALISM!

11/14/2012 Statement of the FLTI

Under the orders of Obama and the gunboats from Turkey and Zionism:

The SNC, the "National Coalition", the generals of the FSA, the Arab League, the bosses and big traders of the provinces that have not put a single dead, not thrown a shot and who for decades shared business with Al - Assad...

BY MEANS OF A REAL COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY COVENANT WITH AL - ASSAD THEY WANT TO IMPOSE "THE PEACE OF THE GRAVEYARDS" TO THE SYRIAN MASSES

√ In order to hijack revolution and support the Zionist-Fascist State of Israel

√ For setting an example worldwide and for chastising the revolutionary masses all over North of Africa and Middle East

√ For restoring the power of the exploiters in Syria

We that have been fighting, that have seen thousand hundreds of our martyrs lying dead on the battlefield, that have lost our children, parents and siblings in the struggle against Al Assad’s army…

We must disavow any covenant, agreement, or government of the exploiters!

All the power to the Local Committees of Coordination and committees of rank and file soldiers!

To smash Al Assad and his servants, expropriate the bourgeoisie and imperialism, and conquer our bred, jobs and national independence

For the destruction of the Zionist-Fascist State of Israel!

Turkey and NATO troops: hands off Syria!

For a Federation of Socialist Republics of the North of Africa and Middle East!

The Al-Assad genocide against the Syrian masses, plus the parliamentary diversion and attempted disarmament of the militias in the revolution of Libya; the fraudulent "National Assembly" in revolutionary Tunisia; and cosmetic reforms, after the fall of Mubarak, on the military regime in Egypt by the caste of officers of the army and the Muslim Brotherhood: all those are different links of a same imperialist counter-offensive across the region to carry the revolutionary processes into a defensive phase. Thus, imperialist pirates, headed by Obama and Merkel, along with the native lackey bourgeoisies, seek to advance in recomposing regimes and Governments who have been battered by the offensive of the masses, after nearly two years of strife and revolutionary fighting in the Maghreb and the Middle East.

Imperialism knows it must accelerate its steps to define to its favor the Syrian issue, before the masses across North Africa and the Middle East and especially the Palestinians again revolt for "bread, jobs, freedom and national dignity". None of these demands, which pushed the masses into combat, have been met by these pro-imperialist regimes and governments that arose to expropriate the revolutionary struggle of the exploited.

This string of revolutions which broke out in Northern Africa and Middle East, as a single, unique and indissoluble revolution, has reached its point highest point in Syria since a year ago. There, all counter-revolutionary plans boil down to disarming and dislocating the local coordinating committees and the committees of rank-and-file soldiers, which were the real dual power organs of the fighting masses that arose in the insurrections city by city. This is the objective of the incessant bombardments, widespread massacres, killings against both combatants and non-combatants, women, youth, elders and children, over 300,000 martyrs fallen and much more wounded, the destruction and devastation of entire neighborhoods and cities; so much brutality and the lack of food, water, shelter, electricity, hospitals, medically, that forced millions and millions of exploited to navigate from one region of the country to another and also into exile in refugee camps, in order to survive in the midst of this terrible hell imposed in Syria by imperialism and Al-Assad.

Al-Assad has done –and is ready to continue doing- this 'dirty work' on account of all the imperialist powers to massacre the Syrian people, leaving scorched earth. Meanwhile, the Free Syrian Army says to the resistance fighters: "either you integrate to the FSA fulltime for pay, or go home and stay there", to dissolve the masses’ fighting organizations and try to co-opt a sector of militias fighting against the genocidal army. At the same time, "ultra-left" Islamic fractions send scattered groups - from the multitudinous vanguard of combative masses - to carry out ineffective and isolated military actions, where the most courageous elements of the revolution end up being massacred. Such are the deeds of the different agents of imperialism in Syria.

However, imperialism must prevent Al-Assad and the rest of its agents from going beyond the relationship of forces conquered in their favor. The general staff of the counter-revolution is of the view that there have been already sufficient defeats over the Syrian masses as to prevent a "new Libya", i.e., that armed bodies impose a nationwide dual power and lynch Al-Assad, as happened to Khadafy in Libya. But in turn, imperialism well knows that these defeats are not sufficient as for Al-Assad, hated and confronted by the whole of the exploited in Syria and the entire region, going on massacring at close range or staying in power, which would risk either the open process of civil war extending for too long or new mass revolutionary onslaught developing throughout the region.

The situation in the region remains unstable. The powerful revolution in North Africa and the Middle East has weakened all the institutions and tools of domination of the bourgeoisie. The imperialist gang have not forgotten for one moment that a mockery of traditions, teachings and culture of the Arab masses sparked the fury of millions of exploited that effectively burned the US, UK, German, etc. embassies, in dozens of countries in the region. Do not forget that in Benghazi (Libya) an US Ambassador and several CIA agents fell dead who were in the same U.S. "Consulate" that was the basis of the US secret services; a fact that dethroned the head of the CIA, murderous general David Petraeus.

A “pact” for hijacking revolution

The Syrian exploited should disavow any negotiation and agreement of the "national coalition" of opposition politicians and military coming from the Al - Assad regime aimed to getting together again the power of the bourgeoisie and imperialism!

Obama and other heads of the dominant powers’ plan is to seal a Pact of "national unity " with the "democratic" generals of the FSA merging with the Bonapartist general in the current army of Al - Assad who would quickly run to pose as "democratic" in defending the business of the bourgeoisie and imperialism. To do this they have put in place the so-called "national coalition" that unifies the "opposition" of former politicians from Al - Assad regime, military that have "changed sides" at the last moment and "exiled" bosses and large traders who never put a single dead, or fired a single shot. This "national coalition", blessed by the bandits of the Arab League, seeks to subsume and liquidate the local coordinating committees and other bodies of self-determination, armament and direct democracy of the masses in struggle. So they conspire to expropriate the revolution and rebuild the battered regime.

This plan may or may not include Al - Assad. For sustaining in power and not being left aside out of the negotiations (and the sharing of spoils), Al - Assad launched a firework show with his troops on the border with Turkey and "attacked" Lebanon. At the same time he is trying to seal "peace" covenants city by city with different bourgeois fractions, which seek to pose before the eyes of the masses as those that "guaranteed" a cease-fire of the Syrian army.

So what is acting in Syria is a real counter-revolutionary covenant to expropriate the revolution, sustain the Fascist Zionist State of Israel, setting a deterrent to the revolutionary masses across North Africa and the Middle East, and thus reconstruct the power of the exploiters in Syria. It is a pact to impose the "peace of the graveyards", based on the brutal genocide of Al - Assad, on account of the imperialism and the bourgeoisie in the region against the Syrian working class and masses.

This perfidious counter-revolutionary policy is commanded by US imperialism. Today, after the result of the presidential elections in the United States that gave the victory to butcher Obama, the US Government and the damn regime of the "Republicrats" (that one-party formed by Republicans and Democrats, all of them representatives of the Pirates of Wall Street) has been re-legitimized.

This allows the United States alongside its agents of the bourgeoisie in Turkey, to militarize the entire border with Syria with the NATO army and artillery (US imperialism cannot yet act with its military troops directly in the revolutionary processes of the region, because this would unleash again the revolutionary fury of the masses).  Part of this same plan, is that as soon as the last votes of the elections were counted in the United States, the fascist Zionist State of Israel, with the ok of the US launched some missiles to Syria to discipline Al - Assad and force him to sit down and negotiate. Meanwhile, on the other hand, this military enclave of imperialism in the region fired several bombs against the Palestinian masses in the Gaza Strip, which left 10 Palestinians killed.

With all this they seek to put a limit to murderous al - Assad and compel him to accept his departure as the US pirates command.

In Syria and across the region we are watching the reissue of the "Operation Cast Lead" that US imperialism unleashed in 2008 – first from the hand of Bush and then from Obama’s; the latter had just won the election- while the fascist Zionist State of Israel  went on bombing at close range the Palestinian masses in Gaza.

The current "Operation Cast Lead" combines the policy of genocide, massacre and razed land in the hands of Al - Assad in Syria, with these counterrevolutionary pacts that are developed in North Africa and the Middle East to impose the "peace of the graveyards", which include the terrible back-stabbing perpetrated from the inside against the Syrian resistance.

Central part of this counterrevolutionary plan, in Latin America is the role played by Chavez, Castro and other "Bolivarian" Governments that have also sealed pacts with the US imperialism at the service of stabilizing its "backyard". The anti-worker and servile-to-imperialism "Bolivarians", are responsible to sell out the Colombian resistance and finally consummate the giving in of the conquests of the Cuban revolution with the restoration of capitalism in the island. They are who hold and support Jackal al - Assad, like yesterday they did with Dog Qadafy of Libya, while they come from playing their role of submitting again the black and latino proletariat and other immigrant workers to butcher Obama, with rogue Chávez campaigning for Obama and calling openly to vote for him. This was after all "Bolivarians" sent their "condolences" for the execution of the US Ambassador at the hands of the revolutionary militias in Libya.

A counter-revolutionary ring to defeat the revolution and bring to their knees the true Syrian nation: that of the working class and the exploited

To impose this counterrevolutionary plan, US imperialism, along with its gendarmes in the region such as Turkey and the State of Israel, is exploiting the conditions created by the brutal massacre against the revolutionary masses in Syria. And this is so because the fact that the Syrian masses are slaughtered with a real genocide is not only a success for Al - Assad and the Syrian bourgeoisie, but also for all the imperialists and the bourgeoisie at the global level. In Syria what is acting is not any "national army", but occupation troops on account of imperialism and Zionism, which are armed to the teeth by the butchers Putin of Russia and Hu Jintao of China.

This army is not just crushing the revolutionary masses, but besides, as an "army of occupation of imperialism", it is imposing in its turn a defeat of Syria as oppressed nation. This means that if it manages to impose its plans against the working class and the exploited, to no doubt that imperialism will tie with double and triple chains the oppressed nation to further intensify its plundering and spoliation of Syria.

Only the working class can confront and defeat, with its fighting organizations, the counterrevolutionary plans of imperialism in Syria and across the region; because the proletariat is the only truly national class, because it has no interest that tie it to imperialism, while al - Assad and all the native bourgeois who are in the "opposition" do have many intertwined interest with it.

Current events show in a raw and stark way that the Syrian bourgeoisie, even the more "oppositionist" one, and its "Muslim monks" of mosques where the masses took refuge to organize their struggle, never wanted the exploited to be armed and self-organized. They only wanted to utilize the masses and 'democracy' to discuss a distribution of the business.

For this reason the “opposition” bourgeoisie, which has not shot a single shot and is as much an imperialist agent as is Bashar Al Assad, today is negotiating covenants to set the “graveyard’s peace” city by city with murderous Al Assad.

It is the same that the Kurdish Communist Party did some time ago, which, together with the bourgeoisie of 5 Syrian provinces of Kurdish ethnicity, signed "peace agreements" with Al - Assad to dismantle and butchering the ranks of the resistance and put today the masses on the defensive. That was how Stalinism betrayed openly the counteroffensive that the masses staged in July-August, which reached the very gates of Damascus; in that betray they left Al - Assad hands-free to continue massacring on account of imperialism.

By reaching an agreement with al - Assad, backstabbing the exploited like the FSA and supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon, Stalinism was which guaranteed the real fence to the Syrian masses and acted as a fifth-column against the exploited. All of this, legitimized and sustained by the Renegades of Trotskyism, that are dedicated to slandering the revolutionary masses accusing them of being "agents of imperialism", or to openly supporting the crooks of the FSA and those former Assadite generals who never were in the frontlines fighting against the occupation of Jackal Al - Assad.

Without this counterrevolutionary ring, imperialism could not have even sat down to negotiate a “peace plan” immediately.

Imperialism draws lessons from the Libyan revolution to prevent Al - Assad from falling in Syria defeated by the masses

For the bourgeoisie and imperialism, it is crucial that Syria does not turn into a "new Libya", i.e. that the head of Al - Assad does not roll down as happened yesterday with Qadafy’s. Therefore it should be the very same Al - Assad with his counter-revolutionary troops, who crush the masses before they can build and conquer a nationwidel dual power as happened in Libya.

In Syria a policy of genocide was applied; the bourgeoisie displayed a clear class instinct. What occurred in that country was a "Korniloviad", i.e. counter-revolutionary blows to curb the chain of revolutions that began in Tunisia, besides preventing Jerusalem from burning!

Precisely, this way they aimed to prevent the scenario of Libya, where the insurrections by city triumphed as local insurrections - as was the case in Benghazi, Misratah, Brega and the West--leaving Qadafy’s power cornered in Tripoli (where imperialism organized a brutal massacre so that the dictator did not fall down). Thus, in Libya, the apparatus of the national State, i.e., the band of armed men from Capital, and also the Qadafist regime were disarticulated. A dual power of the masses arose, as they were not only armed, but also controlling territory.

In Syria, to prevent this from happening, Al – Assad’s heavily armed planes and helicopters shelled recklessly the cities to avoid any possibility of success for the exploited’s local insurrections. At the same time that the massacre, mass destruction and scorched-earth policy was perpetrated, these local insurrections were contained by the hollow chatter about 'peace' of the imams of the mosques, which tied the hands to the masses so that they do not arm. Meanwhile, the Renegades of Marxism spoke of "struggles for democracy" and supported Al - Assad so that his regime “adopted self-reforms voluntarily”.

Today it is a million times clearer that the key purpose of NATO’s intervention in Libya was to prevent Tripoli from falling into the hands of a victorious mass insurrection –given that they were besieging the city- and for facilitating Qadafi to seal an agreement before his head rolled down. For this reason, NATO not only bombed Brega and Misratah so that the masses do not move, but it also sent Qadafi and his generals a pair of bombings for him to accept negotiating a "national unity" Pact with the TNC, before the armed masses got all over Libya and a national dual power emerged; though, that dual power could finally be imposed and until today imperialism and the Libyan bourgeoisie have failed to disarm it.

If this "Pact" between NATO, Qadafy and the TNC (today LNC) could not be applied was because was broken by the revolutionary masses, that moving forward with insurrections by city, from the West and from Misratah arrived in Tripoli and blew away that agreement. After this, the militias of the working class and the exploited cornered Qadafy and executed him in Sirte.

To make this not happen in Syria, imperialism supported and armed Al - Assad, via Putin and Hu Jintao, so that he could slaughter the exploited; then, the plan was to impose upon him a negotiated departure on the basis of that crushing of the masses, in order to avoid that a revolutionary crisis unfolded and the masses imposed an armed dual power.

Imperialism drew a great learning from Libya. On the contrary, the working class couldn’t do that. The treacherous leaderships prevented it. Therein the problem of the working class and its crisis of revolutionary leadership lies which is actually the overabundance of treasonous leaderships.

The Syrian revolution exposes the servile policy of the world reformist left

Several political currents of the reformist left were waiting for an attack by NATO in Syria to "demonstrate" that the insurrected masses that were being massacred were "agents of imperialism". Now, while the masses are still soaking Syrian soil with their blood thanks to the massacre by Al – Assad’s troops ... they are silent. They are pretty cynical!

The current genocide in Syria has unmasked the slander and infamy of the "club of friends" of Al - Assad and their lackeys, the Renegades of Trotskyism. All the leftist servants of Al - Assad and Obama expected intervention by NATO in Syria. But life did not shoulder their deception and lies. The reality proved that it was Al - Assad who made the "dirty work" to NATO and the imperialist powers, massacring the exploited rebels so that these could not take power over the foul-smelling corpse of the bourgeoisie (in all its religious and commercial variants).

As everybody can see now, NATO, despite rivers and oceans of ink deployed by the reviewers of revolutionary Marxism, ignored the "theoretical" world reformist left. Before Syria’s "Misratahs" and "Benghazis" could win as local insurrections, this time in Homs, Deraa, Aleppo, Hama and other cities, imperialism armed Al - Assad to the teeth, through Russia and China, to impose the genocide and the Genghis-Khanish plan of “scorched earth”. Lackeys like Chavez, Castro, Putin and Hu Jintao were devoted to sustaining Al – Assad’s "bayonets".

Al - Assad and imperialism had their hands free to apply this policy because the world reformist left allowed them. From one of their sidewalks, more pro-social democratic wing told the masses a "spring of peoples", "democratic revolutions" and "fights for freedom", were to come so that they had to undergo the opposition bourgeoisie. Meanwhile from the other, the pro-Stalinist wing accused the fighting masses of being "ground troops of the NATO" and "agents of imperialism".

Thus the exploited were cheated around the world and the Syrian masses were fenced, so that before such an awful genocide the most concentrated battalions of the labor movement of the dominant powers - USA.USA, Japan and Europe – could not be who came to aid the Syrian exploited.

History will speak of this tragedy, this betrayal and these backstabs to the working class, as young generations of the proletariat are still learning about the betrayals and backstabbing against the heroic working class that fought in the Spanish Civil war in the 1930s.

The tragedy of the proletariat is the crisis in its leadership. That is why the working class has not yet been able either to draw lessons from the fighting that it waged, or to realize the perfidious role of its enemies and traitors that nest in the interior of its organizations both at a local and at international level as a product of this crisis.

The expropriation of the revolutionary processes from Morocco to Egypt to Palestine through all kinds of pseudo-democratic deviations was made possible because the entire world left called the masses to celebrate their "Spring" with the flowers of the parliaments and the petals of the votes in the phony and rigged constituent assemblies of the exploiters.

But unlike the Spanish Civil War, the revolution in Syria is not yet defined. It is because here the "Iberian peninsula" goes from Morocco to Palestine, and the outcome will be defined in the capitals of the imperialist countries.

The role of revolutionaries in those combats is to clean the road for the exploited so that they can fight and recognize who are their friends and who their enemies, so that they are able to fight.

In order to stop the genocide and conquer bread, jobs, freedom and national independence…

It is urgent to smash Al-Assad and his occupation forces!

It is necessary to disavow all agreements among Obama, Al-Assad’s generals, the FSA, the SNC and the “National Coalition” of the “oppositionist” bourgeois!

It is a question of life and death to prevent the Local Coordinating Committees and the Committees of rank and file soldiers from dissolving; on the contrary they must be extended to each factory, neighborhood and workplace in general!

It is urgent to centralize under them the popular and worker militias! It is necessary to expropriate the expropriators and put the entire production of the country under workers control!

The General Staff of the FSA must be ignored!

All the power to the Local Coordinating Committees and the Committees of rank and file soldiers!

But as the saying goes, you have to "bell the cat". Nothing is written in heavens. The demands for which hundreds of thousands of exploited were killed have not been achieved up to today. The increased hunger, misery, unemployment and imperialist oppression weigh more and more on the masses’ shoulders.

Late 2010 and early 2011, the revolution began when a young man in Tunisia incinerated himself. But more than one year and a half after the start of this process, in 2012, the masses, which two months ago staged a new uprising because imperialist pirates laughed at their customs and culture, cremated an imperialist Ambassador and his CIA aides and dozens of diplomatic buildings were set on fire. The masses of Libya refused to disarm. Masses in Tunisia are still fighting against the government that hijacked their revolution and against its fraudulent "National Assembly". In Jordan Palestinian and Jordanian exploited return to win the streets against the bloody Hashemite monarchy of King Hussein.

These are lashes and flashes that if developed could produce a second revolutionary onslaught of the masses all over the region; but to advance they must see more clearly their enemy: imperialism that was always behind the sabers of the counterrevolutionary generals and Governments in the region, and which is now behind the Governments that have expropriated the worker-popular revolution through their puppet parliaments and their fraudulent elections

To halt the genocide, today more than ever it is necessary to prevent local coordination committees from being dissolved and to put them on their feet in every neighborhood, factory, school or college and centralize them by city, region and nationally.

Down with Al - Assad! We must prevent the "reconstruction" of Syria from coming in the hand of imperialism, the bourgeoisie, murderous Al - Assad and those who agree with them! We must not allow the entry of Al – Assad’s troops to any city! Production must be put under workers control and from there the slogan must be risen that to win the civil war, we must expropriate the expropriators of the people, BREAK WITH THE COLLABORATIONIST BOURGEOISIE, ignoring the officers of the FSA and reconstitute the militias which should vote their chiefs and coordinate and centralize! The only power that we recognize is that of the local coordination committees and the committees of rank-and-file soldiers which are the only ones that can guarantee bread, jobs and national independence expropriating all the bourgeois and imperialism!

Many workers and exploited, to wage war only see the possibility to put themselves under the orders of the FSA to be given technology and weapons, and so the FSA tries to co-opts the vanguard sectors who yearn to arm themselves to face the troops of Al - Assad.  We must denounce this danger as the plan of the bourgeoisie, to form a FSA which is going to be a not so free “Syrian army”, with the Generals of Al - Assad under the command of Obama and the US Navy in the Mediterranean Sea, next to the Generals of Al - Assad.

The problem that the bourgeoisie and the high command of imperialism have is that they may co-opt a sector of combatants but are incapable of resolving the appalling misery and the sufferings of millions of exploited of Syria, who are full of immense hatred. In these depths of the exploited must concentrate all the attention of the revolutionaries to help the masses to be organized and to rearm again; because they will only find solution to their problems, if workers and masses take the destinies of the nation in their own hands, i.e., if they seize the power.

The struggle of the Syrian exploited will only succeed as part of a sole and only revolution all over the region

It is necessary to prepare a new revolutionary and victorious assault of the masses!

For the destruction of the Fascist-Zionist State of Israel!

For the victory of a sole and only revolution all along the North of Africa and Middle East for bread and jobs, against imperialism, and the capitalist governments, regimes and states!

For a Federation of Socialist Republics of Northern Africa and Middle East!

Forces to do this are among the hundreds of thousands of oppressed that won the streets and burned the US, German and British embassies in several countries of the region. The power of the exploited lies on the tenacity and fighting spirit of the Tunisian masses; on the militias of Libya which don't want to dissolve, and on the energy that the masses of Syria still have to resist.

To enhance these fights, it is necessary to coordinate and centralize the struggles of Africa and the rebellion of the laborers in South Africa which has now begun in Namibia. The program of the laborers in Marikana "12,500 Rands for all" and "give us the silver or we kill the managers", must be the program of Tunisian workers to break through the bureaucracy of the UGTT and of the workers in Libya to unite with their brothers from Egypt and other African countries who do the worst jobs in Libya, in order to bring back to revolt the working class of that country.

The struggle of the masses of Syria will have a perspective of victory if the working class of the region returns to struggle. There is no way that the exploited succeed country by country; precisely on that division imposed by imperialism, the native bourgeoisie and treacherous directions the strength lies of the enemy to realize its domination over all the exploited. A single class, a single fight, an only and same revolution!

We must put an end to the imperialist plundering, pulling down the Rafah wall, destroying the Zionist-Fascist State of Israel and liberating the Palestinian masses! For a secular, democratic and non-racial Palestine based on the self-organization and arming of the masses!

We must crush the 5th fleet of the US army! We must transform the entire region in the tomb of the imperialist troops! We must defeat the Government of the US protectorate in Iraq! For the triumph of the resistance in Afghanistan and Iraq! For the defeat of all the servile bourgeoisies, either "Pan-Arab", "secular" or "Islamic", all servants of imperialism, guarantors of the Zionist-Fascist State of Israel and slaughterers of their own people! Down with King Hussein of Jordan! For a Federation of Socialist Republics of the North of Africa and Middle East!

The working class of the dominant powers, United States, Europe and Japan, should make heard their voices and defeat the union bureaucracies and reformist leaderships that tie their hands and submit them to the imperialist parasites. The workers of the main metropolises are those who have the key so that the revolutions of North Africa and the Middle East can succeed. The proletariat in U.S. and Europe should stand up to the cry of "the enemy is at home!" to boycott the imperialist war machine! The motion put by the masses of North Africa, i.e.,  that to get bread and jobs there it is urgent to pull down the capitalist Governments, regimes and States  -must succeed in the heart of imperialist Europe!

These are the immediate tasks that the world proletariat has to accomplish in order to defeat the imperialist attack and for the masses of North Africa and the Middle East to succeed in their fight for bread and national independence.

The masses need a revolutionary and internationalist leadership at their head

Reformism betrays and desynchronizes the struggle of the exploited; but the proletariat does not and won’t leave it alone, to live peacefully, because which is in bankruptcy, crisis and decline is the world capitalist system, today sustained essentially by those treacherous leaderships that betraying the struggles of the working class, only prepare the way for fascism and war.

We Trotskyists were the first to arrive and will be the last to withdraw from the battlefield of the working class from the North of Africa, the Middle East and worldwide. As much as our forces allow, we will redouble our fight, as a fulcrum to help that hotbeds of radicalization and fight, regroup there where the proletariat breaks the encirclement of reformism to fight against the exploiters. It is urgent to build a revolutionary internationalist organization running from Morocco to the martyred Palestine as a sensitive nerve that when it is touched at some of its points it vibrates as a perfect system in its entirety.

There's no time to lose! It is urgent to regroup the revolutionary working class organizations to defeat the reformist leaderships of the proletariat worldwide and advance in the Re-foundation of the Fourth International of 1938, the leadership that the masses of North Africa and the Middle East need in order to succeed.

Statement of the Syria Committee of Chile, member of the International Committee in support of the Syrian masses before the last events in Palestine

November 15^th, 2012

 

Egypt demonstration against the Israeli attack to Gaza

For the last days, the army of the Zionist Fascist of Israel has launched a brutal attack against Gaza, killing more than 20 Palestinian martyrs.

From the International Committee in support to the Syrian masses, we claim our international support to the tormented Palestinian masses that are being bombed, throw missiles and military attacks by the side of Israel. We claim that we do not recognize Israel any national character, and we claim it is a real military enclave of US imperialism, a real military fort in order to defend their interest in this region of the world.

Barak Obama, recently elected as US president is the one who led the bloody attack, carried by the Israelis authorities, war officers of US imperialism.  This attack aims to hit all the exploited masses of the region, and it is part of the genocide carried by Al Assad, absolute lackey of imperialism.  He is the one carrying it out for months over the working class and the exploited ones who have upsurge in order to get bread, work and national independence in Syria.

The imperialism, through its gendarme Israel led today a terrible counterrevolutionary attack against the masses of Palestine, Syria and the entire North of Africa and Middle East. The imperialist bourgeoisie develops this attack after legitimate the bloody butcher and anti worker Obama in the president position in USA, with the complicity of all the Latin American bourgeoisies, starting by Chavez, who called to vote for him in the last president elections. Chavez himself who under the name of Socialism and the “Bolivarian Revolution”, at the same time fully defends the butchery of Al Assad in Syria, he sends condolence to the US pirates after the Libyan exploited masses make justice with their ambassador in Bengasi, just few months ago. Now, with Obama with another 4 years managing the business of the entire US bourgeoisie, the imperialism go for the death of his ambassador, and try to smash the revolutionary chain in North of Africa and Middle East, that from the streets of Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, so on threats to push the heroic Palestinian proletariat to get into the revolutionary scene. It is precisely the imperialism and its guardian dog of Israel try to smash the revolutionary anti imperialist vanguard of the exploited masses of North of Africa and Middle East.  The fight of Palestine will not win if it is not destroying and digging in history the state of Israel, recovering the historic Palestine with its capital Jerusalem.

 

We claim that we only recognize Palestine as nation. We defend unconditionally the right to defense itself against the imperialist occupation imposed since 1948 when UN, with the open support of the Stalinism, founded the state of Israel on the bases of slaughter and genocide. We believe strongly that the freedom of the Palestinian masses will not come at the hand of the bourgeoisie parties as Hamas or Al Fatah, who have show total submission to their imperialist masters and they become in real jailers of the Palestinian masses.  Only the working class, unifying their ranks with the revolutionary masses of Libya, Egypt, Syria, so on and the entire world can defeat the imperialist occupation, destroy the fascist state of Israel and get the defiantly freedom of Palestine.

 

We claim that the fight of the Syrian masses and the Palestinian masses is the same fight against the national bourgeoisie and the imperialism plunder of the oppressed nations. It is the same fight as in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, so on.  It is the same fight of the entire working class.

We claim that this attack against the Palestinian masses is part of the attack that the entire world bourgeoisie have lunched against the working class and the exploited ones of the world to go out of the economic crisis that shake the entire world.

We fully condemned all the ones who, in so called “solidarity” with the Palestinian people, support the imperialist policy that live in “peace” the two states, one Israeli and another one Palestinian.  If the Israeli state exists, the Palestinian masses could not free themselves.  The existence of the Israeli state mean, over al, oppression, tortured, genocide, violence, bombs, hunger and misery for Palestine.

The current attack against Palestinian defined two trenches, again, in the class struggle. This is or we are on the side of the Palestinian masses fighting for the destruction of the Israeli state or we are for the Obama´s plan and other imperialist pirates of “two states”, one state fully armed with one of the most powerful army of the world, Israel and the other one with the hunger masses to live in real concentration camps.

We call the world working class and al their organization to organize right now to demonstrate to the Israeli and USA embassy, and to make all type of actions in solidarity with the Palestinian people, setting up the international solidarity of the working class, and rejecting all attempt to confuse the exploited ones with the speech that the masses who fight in Syria are “agents of imperialism”. This speech tries to divide the exploited ones, to submit them country per country to their own bourgeoisie, weather it is Al Assad n Syria or the bourgeoisie of Hamas and Al Fatah in Palestine, all imperialist lackeys.

 It is necessary to stop the slaughter of the guardian dog of US imperialism, Israel, against the Palestinian masses!

It is necessary to destroy the Zionist State of Israel, to free Palestine, with its capital Jerusalem!

A single class, a single fight in Syria, Palestine, Libya and the entire region! A single class, a single fight in the entire world against imperialism!

 

Endorsment from Las Heras, Argentina

Las Heras, Santa Cruz

10-27-2012

 

I want to greet all the comrades that are carrying out the act-festival in support of our comrades in Syria that are dying everyday at the hands of the dictator Al-Assad. I want to send a big hug to everyone who fight for bread, work, dignity and freedom in Syria from here, from the militarized Las Heras under a regime just like the one of Videla, but this time with the democratic mask of the Kirchners.

     I was imprisoned for three years with five companions, bearing the worst tortures and humiliations, sent to the jail by that fascist judge Ruata de Leone that today has passed the baton to the judge Quelín. As it happens with over 6,000 comrades all over the country, we are still prosecuted and unable to leave town.

     I remember when I saw the pictures of the comrades that were tortured in Abu Graib and in Guantánamo, that were treated the same as we were treated. Our comrades in Syria and the entire region are fighting so that no one from our class suffers again what we suffered here in Las Heras and that thousands of our brothers suffer all around the world.

     That’s why I am unconditionally with you, because I know that if we succeed there, we will be in better conditions to triumph for our demands.

     A big hug to my comrades that fight tirelessly in the battlefield in Syria, that prove that we are millions of workers and oppressed who don’t have a price and that are not willing to break and will fight until the end to conquer the bread.

     I fully repudiate all the currents that fill their mouths talking about “socialism”, “classism” and “revolution” and don’t move a single finger for our comrades in Middle East, while others directly support this murderer Assad. They are the same currents that silenced the fight for our freedom, while sending condolences to the family of the police officer Sayago, that known repressor of workers, making him pass as a  “fellow worker”.

     That’s why I call from Las Heras on all the workers and young combative students to take in their hands the proposals from the International Committee in Support of the Syrian Masses. Down Al Assad! Freedom to all the political prisoners in the world!

Today I’m prosecuted and unable to leave Las Heras
