Today we are facing a new commemoration anniversary of 6th August 1945, when US imperialism threw two nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki massacring over 300,000 workers, elderly, women and kids. This genocide attack had the objective to consolidate USA as winner of the imperialist Second World War and as dominant power; also to discipline Stalinist bureaucracy of Moscow as servant of Roosevelt-Truman and Churchill. But above all, it had the objective to smash Japanese proletariat that was rising up, which was threatening with overthrowing the Emperor and Japanese imperialist bourgeoisie defeated in the war and move forward to the victory of the proletarian revolution.
That is how US “democratic” imperialism – as Stalinism liked to call it to submit the proletariat during the war to one of the factions of imperialist capital that were in dispute – resolved into its favour the imperialist war for the booty and the influence zones against German-Japan axis. But to be honest, with these lessons, the parody of the existence of “democratic” or “fascist” imperialisms is over, but only imperialist powers that use fascism or democracy to solve under better conditions their commercial disputes, zones of influence or to define how the world working class and oppressed people are better defeated. Thus, the “democratic axe” bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki using nuclear weapons while the German axe massacred more than 20 millions of Soviet workers and peasants; that was the price that USSR paid to stop the German occupation over its territory.
After 64 years of the second human butchery in the planet, we are seeing the imperialist powers that yesterday were in dispute coexist within new blocks now according to their interests around the world. After Hiroshima’s and Nagasaky’s bombs we have seen the Japanese imperialists – who massacred and tortured millions of exploited such as in Filipinas and Korea and occupied China, disputing with USA the Pacific territories – sharing their business with the United States, supporting and funding his military adventures. Because for them capital have no borders but “business are business”. The imperialist bourgeoisie of Japan that has the second GDP in the world in partnership with US imperialism share the control of the Pacific with 135 US military bases with 54.000 soldiers all across Japan including Okinawa. For USA in the world economy and the Pacific there is no disarmament for the Japanese imperialism. It is under the nuclear protection of its US imperialist partnership. They share the booty of the trade in the Pacific and the oil routes full of blood by the imperialist troops of occupation and the world economy.
From 1989 on, US imperialism resolved in its favour the character of the Second World War, at this moment, allied with Japan and followed by the other imperialist powers. Because what Hitler and Germany were not able to do with the tanks, the US imperialism did along side its new Japanese ally supported by Germany and France when with the loans of the IMF and introduction of goods transformed the Stalinist bureaucracy into its direct agent and a new restorationist bourgeois class within the workers states. This time, they altogether, with Stalinism already transformed in a new ruling class in partnership with Citibank, Bank of Japan and Bundesbank shared out Russia, China, and the Eastern former workers states transforming them in big maquila that gives millions of slave workers to the world economy like China. Russian gas and oil of Putin is in the hands of German BASF´s, that kept the pipelines from Turkey and Mar Negro-Black See- and so Germany guarantee gas and oil for them and to supply Europe. The China of the “red mandarins” has put millions of Chinese workers in concentration camps, in the factories, those jails of the transnationals and the new counterrevolutionary Chinese bourgeoisie.
The former deformed Eastern workers states have been left as the backyard of Europe, Germany in a fierce dispute with EEUU for the oil routes and gas of Russia and of the former Soviet Muslim republics of the USSR and Caucasus. And this was not pacific. It was resolved applying counterrevolutionary blows, bombings of NATO like in the Balkans, massacres on the part of the white army of Putin and genocides like in Chechnya and counterrevolutionary blows as the one suffered by the Chinese worker and youth vanguard in Tienanmen square so that those parasites of the party of the “communist businessmen” from China-along side the Japanese and US transnationals and finance capital and the other imperialist transnationals in partnership or not- were able to over-exploit the proletariat, as Hitler wouldn’t have dreamed in Warsaw and in the occupied zones by the Nazi army.
We propose to give together a tribute and a struggling vote in favour of the heroic and martyr Chinese working class. Today, under the shape of revolts in the cities and countryside, the Chinese working class faces the factory closures, plunder of land, massive layoffs, and the oppression of those murderous repressors and enemy of the people and working class who are the new “red businessmen” of the communist party in Beijing. Let’s rise up together with the Chinese working class, the one that in the 19th century together with the black slaves built all the modern capitalist structure in USA, Europe and the rest of the word with its bones and blood, and today, in this rotten stage of decadency, agony of this system which deserves to disappear in the history, they are exploited, massacred and killed. Out of China the transnationals and the finance capital of Japan, USA, Germany, France and Europe! Down with the murderous government of Hi Jintao and the new mandarins of red companies of Beijing! Down with the new army and the official caste of the new Kuo-mihn-tan, killer of Chinese workers and peasants! The worker and peasant China that the Stalinism had given away to the world capitalism must stand up again! For committees of Workers and Poor and landless Peasants to recover the factories and the lands from the trasnationals and the greedy Chinese bourgeoisie and the international finance capital! Stop the massacre of the army of the murderous red Mandarins! For the destruction of the caste of military official! For Soldiers committees that put their weapons on the side of people , the revolts and the fight for the restoration of the proletariat dictatorship under revolutionary shapes in the Martyr China!
After the Second World War, the winner US imperialism broke its teeth in ‘52 in the peninsula of Korea. This process was content in the 38º parallel by the betrayal of the Stalinist, Maoist and Ki-Mihn-Jung bureaucracy. South Korea supported by the Japanese imperialism associated with the US, is only a floating military base fully armed to discipline the masses in the Pacific, built as a fortress of the exploiters as the US-UK military base in Hong Kong, that undoubtedly, associated or not with Japan if the crisis gets deeper, they will re take China and destroy it as they did in the 20th Century.
The Japanese proletariat has an historical responsibility with their class brothers of China, Korea, Asia and the Pacific. You comrades are part of a class in the Japan of the murderous imperialists, who lived great historical events of the Asian proletariat in Korea, China and in the US defeat in Vietnam. But you also were witnesses in the history of the greatest betrayals of Stalinism to the world proletarian revolution. They sold out Vietnam, China and now North Korea to the capitalist restoration. They stopped the mass offensive in 38º parallel in Korea. They sold out as flesh for exploitation the majority of the working class in China and Asia.
Today, the Japanese proletariat must look itself in the mirror of its class brothers of China and Korea; because if they go bad, the Japanese proletariat will go bad too. Let’s stand up from Tokyo and Japan at the cry of: Out with Yankees bases from Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea! For the military defeat of US and Japanese imperialist troops in Asia, Iraq, Afghanistan and in the entire Middle East! Down with the governments of the new slavery bourgeoisies born from Stalinism of China and North Korea! The third Chinese revolution must stand up again for bread and land! For the expulsion of all the imperialists beyond 38º parallel and the whole Korean peninsula! For unified workers and socialist Korea! For a new Vietnam! Out transnationals off Vietnam and Asia!
But this time the Japanese proletariat – breaking with its own imperialist bourgeoisie – must lead this combat in Tokyo. For a Japan where its working class links its fate to the one of the Pacific working class! A single class, a single struggle from Korea to Japan, from China to Vietnam!
As Marx would say, any people that oppresses others is not able to liberate himself. The Japanese working class must stand up in one single claim: For equal work, equal wage in China and Japan! Out Japanese maquilas that starve the Chinese working class! No recognition of Japanese debts and investments in China! That is how the Japanese proletariat will have great allies – the millions of Chinese workers and peasants – to triumph in its own country! These are the forces for the victory and to open the struggle for a soviet revolutionary and worker Japan, for which the workers at the end of the Second World War died, a struggle that was interrupted by the betrayal of Stalinism!
Comrades; imperialism is the epoch of decay capitalism. They lay upon more parasitism, developing destructive forces and buying a sector of the working class, i.e. union bureaucracy and labour aristocracy; their parties and trade unions to support it, as jail keepers of the entire worker movement.
Two years ago the world economic crisis began. This new crisis and bankruptcy of world capitalist system proves that capitalism was able to way out the 68-74 crisis adding (after 1989) new markets of the former workers states as fresh blood. In 2001 when this was getting over, capitalism kept alive few more years until 2007 bankruptcy with new counterrevolutionary wars of occupation, massacring like in Iraq and Afghanistan and developing destructive forces.
From the ILTF we state that this rotten system – which crisis after crisis as a parasite system – have ate the benefits that human labour haven’t produce yet. US, European and Japanese banks oligarchy have spent and wasted more than 14 trillion dollars. Today they are trying to make the exploited masses of the world – first of all the world working class – pay for the costs of the crisis.
The states have kept “toxic assets”, i.e. the loss of the international finance capital. Over 4 trillion dollars were paid to US banks and companies by Yankee state to cover their deficit. Similar amount have been paid to save Germany, France and Japan banks. States have kept the debts and “toxic assets”, to share the loss so the exploited of the world pay for them – particularly the working class – while they save the profits of capitalists.
Over 12 trillion dollars have been paid to cover the deficit of USA, which makes prevail his supremacy so the rest of imperialist powers and exploited masses pay for its crisis.
USA put 1,7 trillions dollars in Eastern Europe to cover the default and since its setting up in Poland, USA is threatening Germany from its own backyard. Despite Germany is the first exporter of the world, it is already in recession – together with the entire Europe – threatened by an open depression. States have assets with no value and the masses will pay them with inflation and printing currencies, opening the perspective of a stagflation process. This will definitely create new defaults – as it has happened in the Eastern Europe countries – in all oppressed nations of semicolonial world.
Japanese imperialism is on the brink of the ruin, after the lost decade of the `90s. During those years Japan was dislocated from the world labour division conquered in Yalta as exporter and main supplier of microchips and technology or the US industrial military apparatus. If Japanese imperialism leave a 10 years crisis behind was due to its investments in China. Japan was one of the main supplier of machines, tools and credit (relatively cheap) for the transnationals settled in China, plundering that country, sending their factories to produce with Chinese wages and recovering the interest profits of its bank and financial capital with loans to China. That is what allowed it to raise its head in the first five years of the 21st century. But the current capitalism catastrophe put again Japan at the brink of the bankruptcy – under the conditions of recession and world crisis. The Japanese working class is paying that crisis with mass dismissals, cutting of wages, as all the workers of the world.
In this crisis there is overabundance of imperialist powers and the future for China and Russia is like that of the Balkans in ‘89 and ‘90, or that of China occupied by Japan and England at the middle of 20th century. If the proletariat – submitted and with its hands tied because of its treacherous leaderships – doesn’t give an answer to the crisis, imperialism and bourgeoisie will give it. They will increase the submission of the oppressed nations and super-exploitation of their own proletarians developing the inter-imperialist disputes for the dominance of the production branches, influence zones and raw material sources. This will not be peacefully. As Lenin and Third International said: the most important economic factor is the war; it is only there where the finance capital will recover its profit rate.
Comrades, the consequences of capitalism bankruptcy are paid by the masses. According to the FAO – and it is not an invention of any crazy ultra-leftist but UN itself – 1 billion people have stopped eating every day in the world and other billion have lost their jobs.
Immigrant workers that yesterday, doing the worst jobs, built the richness in those nations, are expelled from the imperialist countries. Hundreds of thousands of black workers are expelled from Europe and many of them die in the Mediterranean Sea. Hundreds of thousands of Latin American immigrants in USA are expelled or jailed. But what it is even worst, they have led US, German, Japanese working class to similar or worst conditions than the working class these imperialisms oppress. More than 40 million US workers live from the alms of the state without health insurance or pension. The same happens in Japan, Germany, France and in the entire imperialist Europe. This is just the beginning.
In this assembly against the war, the FLTI Trotskyists want to affirm that the working class and the oppressed people of the world have confronted such counterrevolutionary offensive. It did in 2001 with the Latin American proletariat in revolutionary process as in Argentina, Bolivia or Ecuador. The war offensives for the oil routes and the massacres in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq were responded by a great mass resistance that has fought in Fallujah, Mazar I Shariff, the martyr Palestine and from the South of Lebanon giving a great defeat to the Zionist and counterrevolutionary army of Israel. A great resistance of masses and revolutionary hits that threatened to set up a vigorous movement against the war in USA which was the one that left on crisis the murderous Bush government hold by the Bi-party Republicrats regime. In 2007, when this crisis started, the working class said we are here. We get into an offensive combat in Greece and our cry was “in Athens starts the spark and the fire burns Paris”. In Madagascar, Martinique, Guadalupe and the Antilles we went into the combat for our salary and against the French colonialism. In Paris, the youth of the immigrant workers upheaval shouted “every night we make a Bagdad in Paris” and we set up the pickets against the war in Oakland and the US west cost blocking the shipment of arms for the US murders war machinery; in Paris we start occupying the factories with the bosses as hostages stating who were the ones that had to pay for the crisis: the ones who made it and not the workers.
Comrades, we call to salute all together the fighters of the Greek barricades, the ones who have died and fight in Fallujah and Mazar i Shariff, to the heroic fighters of the Palestine resistance, to the Paris youth, and the workers occupying the factories in France, to the ones that stop the docks in USA, the ones that confronted the French imperialism in Martinique and Guadalupe, to the ones starting the revolution in Madagascar, because they are the advance guard of the indispensable masses counteroffensive that we have to conquer to make the exploiters and expropriators of the world pay for the crisis.
There was no lack of courage or predisposition of the exploited masses for the struggle. But there is too much treacherous leadership who betrayed and betrays step by step the exploited masses’ combats.
Facing the masses counteroffensive and the World crisis, facing the perspective of a Vietnam scene, as the one threatened to be opened by the black bags of the dead US soldiers coming from Iraq and Afghanistan and the waking up of the US masses against the war, before the immigrants struggle, the imperialist butchers have disguised as Obama. A disguise to hide that they are still the same monopolies and finance capital that sent Afghanistan to the Middle ages on behalf of the civilization against barbarism; the ones that massacre over one million Iraqis in 3 invasions since 1993. They try now, dressed as a good guy, “giving the hand” to recompose the domain of the planet. Specially, they want to divert the upsurge of US masses against the war and the hated Bush’s government. Also, today, the Japanese regime, which is hated by the masses, tries to do it bringing forward the election with the counterrevolutionary support of the Stalinism, to strengthen the Democrat Party to control again the Japanese government after 50 years; because of the hate of the Japanese workers and masses before Taro Aso’s and Liberal-Democratic Party’s government.
In order to come out of the economical and political world crisis, the capitalist system needs urgently that its paid agents save him. Thus, it has recruited all the treacherous leaderships that come from the labour aristocracy all around the world, and it has disciplined them under one command: “the working class must pay for the crisis. Defend and ward the governments of the boss’ states in crisis from the hate of the exploited. Impose, with surrendering pacts, what hasn’t been gained with counter-revolutionary class wars.”
Thus, with counter-revolutionary pacts between popular front and fascism the heroic Bolivian revolution is strangled. Also semi-fascistic governments, as Uribe in Colombia, and military coups as in Honduras are supported. Over the blood of the Palestinian resistance, with new pacts, they want to guarantee keeping the workers and the masses in concentration camps and in Ghettos, and to support the genocide state of Israel. The same happens in Iraq, where the heroic Shiite masses make the Iraqi protectorate army run away in the south, while the Ayatollahs of Iran and Basora contain them and disarm them to support Maliki’s government again. Meanwhile, the Turkish army invades the north of the country. So, while the Bolivarian bourgeoisie – supported by the stalinists, social democrats and renegades of Trotskyism – have expropriated the Latin American revolution and they’ve put the left of the US working class at Obama’s feet; the “Islamic” and “bazaar” bourgeoisie in the Middle East have used the heroic revolutionary fight of the masses to discuss its business as junior partners of the imperialism.
Comrades, Let’s condemn the bourgeoisie of Al Fatah – and now Hamas – that, with the blood of the martyrized Palestinian masses, want to agree the existence of the two states, and keep strengthening the counter-revolutionary state of Israel! Let’s oppose to the pacts of the bourgeois leadership of Hizbollah with the pro-imperialist government of Siniora, which allowed the entry of the UN imperialist troops, after the masses defeated the Zionist state in southern Lebanon. Masses have put the blood and the bourgeoisie makes business for re-building southern Lebanon, and leaving the Palestinian masses isolated in the Ghettos of Gaza and the West Bank, surrounded by the wall of opprobrium.
We can’t allow this! Down with the collaborationist bourgeoisie that in the negotiation it gives away the fight of the heroic Palestinian masses! For a Palestinian national assembly of Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan that unifies, under the leadership of the workers and peasants, the fight for destroying the Zionist-fascist state of Israel and conquer a national leadership, so the free secular democratic Palestine, under a peasants and workers government will be the advanced point for the revolution in the whole Middle East!
In Egypt and Iran, since 2007, a great struggle of the working class has started. The Ayatollahs and the Islamic bourgeoisies – terrified by the Iranian working class uprising – have launched the fiercest repression against the workers of their countries, which only demand bread and work on a growing unemployment and starvation.
Ayatollahs’ regime represses its working class in Iran and guarantees the subordination of the Shiite masses in southern Iraq to stabilize the protectorate government. The infamous regime of the Ayatollahs is the one of the expropriators of the true revolution of its workers, soldiers and revolutionary students committees defeated the Sha Reza Pah Levi in 1979. To defeat the US and Japanese invader in Iraq and in Afghanistan: For the return of the Iranian revolution of 1979! For the return of the Shoras, the workers and soldiers committees! The martyrized masses in Gaza must break down again the wall of the opprobrium and unify with their class brothers in Egypt! Yankee and Japanese Out of Iraq and Afghanistan! French and German butchers out of Iran, Egypt and the Middle East! The sands of the desert must be the grave of the invader troops! The fight for national liberation and against the colonial oppression will only succeed with the expropriation of all the imperialist oil companies and all the imperialist companies and the ones owned by their servants: the native bourgeoisie, to conquer the federation of soviet workers and peasants republics in all the Middle East.
But, for preventing the opening of these revolutionary perspectives of the exploited, for preventing the spark in Athens from setting Paris or Tokyo on fire and for the fires of Madagascar not to reach Zimbabwe, Congo or South Africa; from all the transnationals and the finance capital of all the imperialist powers came a command: The working class must accept the suspensions, dismissals and give away their pensions, health insurance, accept cut in the hours of labour and even in wages, if they don’t want to be fired from the productive process.
In all the countries of the world, one voice of command is obeyed by all the union bureaucracies and the reformist parties of the Labour aristocracy, including the AFL-CIO, the reformist European unions, the Bolivarian bourgeoisies and the ones covered under the Islam blanket, from the socialdemocrat and the recycled Stalinists to the renegades of Trotskyism: the working class must give away its gains, and even its jobs and wages in order to keep alive this horrible system over the ruin of the exploited. We can’t allow this!
Comrades, we’ve travel 30000 kilometres to be at the Assembly. We came here to bring four proposals, because we’ve come here to fight together. We are aware of the differences we have, but we also know that we recognize each other as fighters of the world working class.
We have four proposals:
If all the leaderships have been recruited to act as scabs of the fights of the international working class to impose us losing our jobs and all of our gains to save the bunch of parasites that has taken mankind at the edge of the barbarism and disaster. We can’t allow this!
If, with siren sings, they want to subjugate us to give away our heroic fights against the war and the exploiters; calling us to support our executioners as the Obamas and the Bolivarian Bourgeoisies, the popular fronts, the Islamic bourgeoisies that give away our liberation wars and our national struggles. We can’t allow this either!:
That is why we propose:
1) Against that real “sliding scale of suspensions and dismissals” that the labour aristocracy and bureaucracy of the whole world want to impose, we must counter-pose the war cry: capitalists pay for the crisis! For the sliding scale of wages and hours of labour! All the available hands to work! Factories and machines have been stopped because this system can’t even put them to produce; It is time for those to go to the hands of the ones who know how to produce, the working class! Expropriation without compensation and under workers’ control of all factories that close or dismiss! No more money to the banks and capitalists! Expropriation without compensation of the super-banks and financial oligarchy! We must expropriate Wall Street, Bundesbank, Credit Lyonnise; Fuji, Toyota and Sony – which Paris workers occupied their factories! No more loans of billions of dollars for the capitalist parasites! Expropriation of General Motors in the whole world!
Down with the increase of the cost of living! They must pay for the crisis! There is 1 billion of starving people in the planet. The wages no longer even recover the force of labour for the next day. Immediate increase of wages for everybody! Equal work equal wage, for women, youth and immigrants in the whole working class of the world!
2) We take as ours the war cry of the founders of revolutionary Marxism in the imperialist epoch. Let’s cry with Karl Liebkneckt – the biggest fighter against imperialist wars: Water and fire cannot be mixed! There is nothing that the exploited masses can do together with their executioners to free themselves! Down with the collaborationist bourgeoisies of Middle East! Down with the pacts of the Iranian Ayatollahs that repress the heroic Iranian working class and support Al Maliki and the Yankees’ protectorate government! Down with the pacts of the collaborationist bourgeoisies of Middle East that support the Zionist fascist state of Israel; like Al Fatah or Hezbollah that gave away the masses of Southern Lebanon with the counterrevolutionary pacts with the pro-imperialist government of Siniora!
Down with the popular fronts that submit the Bolivian proletariat to its bourgeoisie and US-French imperialism! That pact propelled by Morales with the Media Luna – which smash the workers and peasants in that country – blessed by OAS. Down with the Popular Front on the African National Congress, where Stalinism and the black bourgeoisie submit South African proletariat and poor peasants! In the meantime they also impose a popular front of class collaboration in Zimbabwe with inflation of 1000%, 90% of unemployment and generalized famines in that country! Down with the pacts that want to restore capitalism in Cuba with Castro brothers and Obama and the assassin US Democratic Party! Down with the pact between Stalinism and the democratic party of Japan that will increase the offensive against Japanese proletariat and the offensive – together with USA – in Korea, China and in all Asia!
3) There has been a military coup in Honduras – US backyard – to put that country, with a powerful military base in that territory, to be – together with Colombia – the front line of US imperialism to recover his backyard that was disputed in the last period by all imperialist countries, specially France, Germany and Japan.
The US republicrats regime dresses as Obama on one hand and on the other hand massacres in Afghanistan, Pakistan and now in Honduras with a counterrevolutionary coup. They anticipated the workers and peasants arise that was coming, before it began or it can be diverted by the Bolivarian bourgeois fraction, that was looking for keeping a share of the business of the bananas companies, as it was Zelaya’s government!
Out OAS, Latin American bourgeoisies, Obama and republicrats hands off Honduras! Out US military base off that country and all the bases in Colombia and Latin America that are the caves of coupists and counterrevolutionary forces in the continent! Down with the pact of Zelaya and the coupists, where the working class put the blood and the bourgeoisie do businesses to keep Honduras, Central America and Mexico submitted as a great US maquila! For workers and peasants militias to smash the coup, and to end with the official’s caste who massacred the working class and to expropriate all the properties of the oligarchy, imperialism and the coupists! In Central America: One single fight, one single revolution! OAS gurkhas troops out of Haití! French Imperialism and its mercenary troops out off Guadalupe and the Antilles! US out off Guantanamo! Down with the Castroite restorationist bureaucracy and its capitalist restoration pact with Obama! For a true workers, peasants and revolutionary soldiers government that put Cuba at the service of the Latin American revolution and world revolution! For the socialist United States of Central and South America!
We call from the American continent upon you, revolutionary youth and workers of Japan to organize a demonstration in Okinawa to the US military base and to demand and fight for: Out the military bases off Honduras, Colombia and Guantanamo! For the smash of the military coup financed by USA and Obama´s and republicrats´ regime!
4) Comrades; on this anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaky bombs lets make a commitment with our revolutionary workers honour and tell the world working class that the betrayal of social democracy (first) and Stalinism (at the mid of 20th century) open the road to the two imperialist wars. Stalinism did it giving away German, Spanish and French revolution during the ‘30s and specially stealing the heroic revolution of the Soviets in Russia in 1917.
Comrades; there is no doubt that if the proletarian revolution doesn’t stop it – in this planet with too many imperialist powers – capitalism will survive not with peace but with new wars and even new holocaust and barbarism. Imperialist powers who lose in this world crisis, who be excluded of the world division, will not act as polite gentleman when they lose their business. They will try to get them back with guns and shooting as they already did it in the two world wars in the current imperialist epoch. Third world war will start like the second finished: with bombs as in Hiroshima and Nagasaky; and previously we will see, as we have seen in the black bloodstained Africa, with wars where imperialist countries encourage different ethnics and native bourgeoisie fractions. They use them to keep the plunder of minerals (as Coltan) or diamonds and precious stones. Those commodities are disputed by US, French and Japanese imperialist gangs. The revolutionary youth and workers of Japan, that today are gathering together in this assembly, must stand up with class hate against that massacre and genocide of our class brothers in Congo and Zimbabwe, which is the equal to 10 Hirshima and Nagasaky.
Comrades; to stop the holocaust and the use of nuclear weapons used by imperialist powers, the road can not be the peace in general; as Stalinism used to cry out loud during Yalta and Posdam. When they proclaim the cemetery peace and betrayed world revolution here and there.
The proletariat has a missile more powerful than all imperialist power nuclear arsenal. That missile is the socialist revolution in the imperialist countries with nuclear weapons. Stated clearly, revolutionary workers and students of Japan: there is only one way to stop French, US or Russian (acting on behalf of Germany) nuclear weapons, or even the Zionist counterrevolutionary state of Israel; or to prevent the arming of Japanese imperialism to defend its portion of the colonial and semicolonial world that is questioned because of the current crisis. The way is to unify workers ranks, prepare an international counteroffensive of the world proletariat to put on the table – not only who pay for the crisis; whether exploiters and parasites of world financial capitals or the working class – but also the fight for the socialist revolution in USA, France, Germany and Japan. Yes comrades, the revolution and the fight of the working class in the imperialist countries will be house by house, with the rifle of the workers militia, disarming the army. Because the workers manufacture the weapons, use them and transport them. The only thing that separates the workers from that are the reformist leaderships who are nurses of the capitalism. Nor the US, French, German bourgeoisie could use a nuclear bomb o through a missile inside their own country. We must tell the truth: the proletarian revolution in the imperialist countries is the only way for nuclear disarming. The fight for the restoration of the proletarian dictatorship in the former USSR and China and the defeat of the red mandarins is the guarantee for nuclear disarmament in the planet. To conquer peace and bread the only way is to expropriate the expropriators, and the proletarian revolution is the nuclear weapons of the exploited, which we cannot use because of the treacherous leadership. Time has come for the world working class start to raise up the demand that will finish its process of world revolution, in which its success will be consolidated. Enough servitude to imperialism! Enough pacific coexistence! For the socialist revolution in USA! For the socialist united states of North America! Down with the Fifth Republic of the French imperialist butchers, with the Spanish and British monarchies, and with the Bundesbank government in Germany! Victory for the proletarian dictatorship! For the socialist united states in Europe! Soviet workers and revolutionary Japan, in the way of the federation of the socialist republics of Asia!
For that reason, we came here to make you a third proposal to this assembly; a proposal which was already done by the revolutionary workers and youth in the Athens barricades, the workers and peasants in Madagascar, Martinique and Guadalupe and the ones that occupied the factories in France: “the spark in Athens, burns Paris”; and Let’s affirm together: Burn down London and New York! We want a Vietnam in the Middle East! For the sands of the desert in the Middle East to be the graves of all the imperialist invasion troops! Break up with Obama to rise up again the US working class! Break up with the leadership of the WSF, with the renegades of Trotskyism who put the North American masses at the feet of the US imperialist butchers of the Democratic Party, the ones that really supported Bush and today continue their offensive in the planet!
To pay tribute to the war cry imposed by the Greek masses, let’s make together a call to all the organizations that speaks on behalf of the working class to break with the bourgeoisie. Let’s call together to arise again the Million Workers March against the war in USA. The world working class needs the Oakland workers stopping all activities in the docks against the imperialist colonialist and oppression wars. To fight against the counterrevolutionary hits as in Honduras and against the new counterrevolutionary offensives that the US, French and German imperialist butchers are preparing in the bloodstained Africa.
You revolutionary comrades, workers and youth of Japan have a responsibility and an obligation to make this call. The entire US left, from the Castrism to the renegades of Trotskyism between the Bolivarian friends and the Social Democrats, have conspired to dissolve this great united worker front which had organised the general strikes on May 1st in USA with its immigrant brothers and sisters and against the oppressed imperialist war. The combative railway workers and metal workers, and the revolutionary students of Japan have the authority to coordinate with its brothers from the US West Coast, to launch together the struggle to break with the bourgeoisie, the mermaid chants of the popular front and the class collaboration policy which make the masses sleep, so that the hot iron of fascism and counterrevolution hits them.
We call you to make this call to the Oakland workers and the organizations of the Million Workers March against the war in USA to organise a great congress of the combative, revolutionary and anti imperialist fighting workers’ organizations around the world. To make the capitalist pay for the crisis, to expropriate the expropriators. To prepare the world masses counteroffensive to put on the agenda the International Socialist Revolution. It is time to regroup the workers’ rank.
It is an honour to fight with you. It is an honour to be here. Let’s do together this call. The international working class needs a new leadership to succeed, a general staff to fight against the exploiters and to show the path for the victories and not that of the defeats.
Victory for the International Socialist Revolution!
For the working class and the exploited to live, imperialism must die!
The liberation of the workers will be achieved by the workers themselves!
Down with the labour aristocracy and bureaucracy, the World Social Forum, the Stalinism and the renegades of Trotskyism and the ones that sell out the world proletariat combat!
For an International Conference of the Principled Trotskyists and the revolutionary workers organizations!
We have to break with the imperialism disguised as Obama and break with all the national bourgeoisies and the treacherous leadership who are at their feet. The railway workers and the Japanese youth have the authority to make this call.
This is our war cry. Those are our proposals.
