HAITI:
LONG LIVE THE SLAVES’ UPRISING! THEY DON’T VOTE BECAUSE THEY HAVE REBELLED AGAINST HUNGER AND IMF AND CAPITALISTS’ ATTACK!
While not so far from Haiti, the Castro worms sell out Cuba to the capitalism and Obama..saying “not everything of capitalism is bad and not everything of socialism is good”.
The exploited Haitians have rebelled once again confronting this capitalist system of hunger, death, oppression and barbarism and the puppet government of Yankees and the occupation regimen.
“Martelly must go!” “We are the government!” “Out the Minustah troops!”
On October 25 last year, the results of fraudulent elections in Haiti were 32.7% for the official candidate Jovenel Moise (the candidate of the current president Martelly) and 25,29% for the opposition Jude Celestin. According to this result, to resolve the elections it was necessary a second round of voting to be held in December. The second ballot was suspended due to a political crisis where the opposition and pro government forces accused each other of fraud.
The second ballot must be held this time- this was the second try- on January 24 but the opposition denied running for president leaving a political crisis open at the top. Those at the top fought each other and got divided and through the breaches the masses burst out in a mass political struggle against the government, the fraud, hunger and especially the biggest “fraud”: the evil occupation of murderous troops of UN (Minustah) disguised as humanitarian and peacefully when in fact by the bayonets they guarantee the worst famine, diseases, and misery for the Haitian masses.
Thus, during the day January 23, the Haitian masses with the youth without future at the head in Port Príncipe and in the vast majority of the neighbourhood all across the country they clashed against the police and the invaders UN troops. These UN troops are centrally formed by ghurka Bolivarian troops from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Uruguay, among others under the command of USA and France.
Haiti is one of the most exploited and poorest countries in the world. Black workers suffering diseases like cholera, AIDS, poliomyelitis, and the worst of the illnesses: the chronic famine. A country transformed into a reservoir of slave workers. The afflictions of masses got even deeper after the earthquake taking place on January 12, 2010 causing the death of over 200.000 people. Even today, tens of thousands couldn’t still recover their homes. The infrastructure of roads, electricity and water are almost inexistence. Under those conditions last year in January masses rebelled and made the Martelly government and occupation regime tremble. And today under the same conditions we witness the exploited launch a new battle setting on fire the ballot boxes against the occupation regime and his lackeys.
Masses applying their revolutionary spontaneity linked the fight against the fraud with the struggle for bread and against the occupation carrying out an upheaval deepening even more the political crisis of those at the top that can no longer rule in the old way. Facing this revolutionary mass outburst , a third bourgeois faction commanded by the coupist Guy Philippe declared they are ready for the war against the “anarchists” who don`t want elections. Meanwhile USA warned they will not accept any violence on the part of the Haitian people.
Bastads! The Haitian masses obliged to eat mud, to bury their family in common graves, to suffer under an extreme poverty due to the imperialist plundering have the legitimacy and absolute right to get rebelled and upsurge with the same or even more violence with which they are deprived from bread and a decent life.
The conditions of misery, the lack of public health and job pushed masses to the revolutionary struggle against the capitalism that only offers death and subhuman life conditions. A struggle that poses the beginning of the Centro American revolution, that marks a 180º angle against castrism, seller out of the socialist Cuba to Obama and imperialism when it is at the order of the day-today more than ever- to conquer new revolutionary Cubas of 1959 by expropriating the imperialism and his lackeys to give bread and the land to the exploited.
The black working class stood up and will stand up one and a thousand times but those scabs of socialism never will do so!
This fight has a great ally, the US brothers, whose most exploited layers the black and Latin workers get organized and fight for the demand 15 dollars an hour.
$15 dollars an hour for all the Haitian workers, Dominican Republic, Martinique, Cuba, the entire Centro America and Mexico! Out the UN troops! Down with Martelly! Open the revolution! For a worker and peasant government based on the self-organized organs of masses and their armament! Down with the castrist bourgeoisie! Set up again the socialist republic in Cuba by expropriating the new Cuban bourgeoisie and the imperialism!
For a Federation of Sovietic Republics of Centro America and the Caribbean!
