US/NATO imperialists keep your bloody hands off Syria!
Mobilize to defeat Obama’s war against the
Syrian People and their Revolution!

The US/NATO threatens to launch missiles against regime targets in Syria. The revolutionaries on the ground have never asked for US/NATO to intervene militarily. They have asked for weapons to defeat Assad and received no heavy weapons. The US now admits that this is because it has no confidence it can prevent the Islamist elements from taking control of the war against Assad. Assad’s use of chemical weapons has forced the US to acknowledge that he will never ‘make peace’ and is giving impetus to the Islamist opposition. The prospects of a negotiated deal have vanished. So now US/NATO and Russia will to do a deal to remove Assad and replace him with a ‘friendly’ regime that will attempt to put a halt to the Syrian Revolution and the wider Arab Revolution. We must oppose US/NATO attacks on any targets in Syria, just as we oppose Zionist attacks. We must also oppose the Russian and Chinese imperialists backing of the Assad regime, as well as their proxy Iran.

Obama plays the same old humanitarian game the US has played over and over again as an excuse to invade or bomb a country which is escaping outside the bounds of the imperialist control. The vanguard workers internationally know, from previous experience with Obama’s “humanitarian aid” in Haiti and with US aid in Somalia, Bosnia, Serbia, Chile, Vietnam and Palestine that it is the very population the US leaders hypocritically claim to want to protect that ultimately pay the bloody price with thousands of dead civilians. The aid takes the form of bombed out communities shot up by trigger happy cowboys running up the Pentagon’s expenditures for their sponsors on the corporate side of the military industrial complex. ‘Let’s blow some shit up’ is always a good option when the economy is in the tank. At least the big munitions producers get their cut of the blood money, their stocks soar, backs are slapped and careers are made.

Conscious workers know that the US imperialism has more blood on its hands than Basher Al-Assad could bathe himself with in three lifetimes. Hiroshima/Nagasaki, Central and South America, the Korean War, Vietnam, Panama, Haiti, Iraq and Afghanistan and many more; for over a century US imperialism has left a trail of bloody war crimes. This is not the result of bad or misguided policies by this or that administration, but is part and parcel of the highest stage of monopoly capitalism and its world wide quest for elusive super-profits.

Workers don’t need the peace of the capitalists and the pacifists-a peace only found in the grave yard–The end of imperialist war and the causes for war require that the working class consciously acknowledges the existing class war and organizes to defeat the class enemy, the 0.01% and their lackeys. For workers to live capitalism must die!

There can be no peace so long as capitalism exists. To end imperialist war once and for all requires more than morally outraged peace demonstrations. Peace requires the organization of the working class at the head of all the oppressed for all-out class struggle against the main enemy, which is “our” own ruling class, and their system of exploitation.

To win, an anti-war movement needs to be based on independent working class actions. In the US, this requires an absolute political break from the Democrats, who have proven over and over again they are the willing butchers for American imperialism. The Democratic Party has moved far to the right over recent decades; has historically served as the graveyard of class and social struggles, and they will continue to serve that role. Workers should organize labor political strikes against any military intervention. Not only does this mean the hot-cargoing of military goods, particularly by longshoremen, railroad workers, merchant seamen among others but workers should organize material military aid to Syrian working class revolutionary fighters. United labor actions should be organized internationally from the semi-colonial nations to the imperialist centers. A general strike movement needs to be organized to bring these war moves to an end and a fighting workers/labor party built to organize such actions in opposition to the Democrat/Republican parties of war. US enlisted ranks need to be broken from the officer corps and organize soldier and enlisted ranks councils to oppose US imperialist actions. Opposition to the war could be turned into a fight for social justice, for jobs, healthcare, education and housing for all. Carrying such a fight through to a victorious conclusion requires the formation of a workers government.

Workers should come to the defense of the Arab Revolution. Labor in transport should help ensure that military goods are commandeered and delivered to the Syrian working class revolutionaries of the Local Coordinating Committees (LCC) and militias, who are fighting the brutal Assad regime. Organize workers international brigades to fight in Syria alongside our class sisters and brothers! The Syrian Revolution must not be broken by the imperialists! For international labor solidarity! Workers of the world unite!

All imperialist powers hands off Syria! For a workers victory against the regime!
For workers material aid to the revolution!
From Tunisia to Kuwait, victory to the Arab Revolution!
For workers revolution across and
a socialist federation of the Middle East and North Africa!
