Argentina - October 9, 2024

The government vetoed the university financing bill...

Under orders from the US embassy

The parliament of the employer politicians supports Milei's attack
on the people

Enough already! General Strike!

Enough... Enough of pressuring that den of bandits in the parliament “to make them support the people”! The executioner is not going to save the victim.

All these months THE ENTIRE "opposition"... yes, EVERYONE of them!, have been giving Milei quorum in the Congress or lending him MPs so that his government, which has a tiny parliamentary minority, could pass any bill it wants.
When the Ley Bases was being discussed, "progressive" senator Martin Lousteau (UCR) gave a quorum enabling the Senate to meet and vote on that law.
The PJ MPs from Tucumán were sent by the Peronist bourgeoisie to give Milei permanent governability.
The “feminist sister” (so cherished by the left), the one from the “green tide”,  “center-right” MP Silvia Lospenato from PRO is now a lifetime loan from her party’s block, to La Libertad Avanza (Milei’s party)
The Peronist governor of Catamarca, Raúl Jalil, on this occasion when the law on university financing was being discussed, ordered an MP from that province to allow Milei’s veto to pass.
The majority of the block of anti-workers from the UCR is sitting to Milei’s right in the Quinta de Olivos (the President residence, where some formal as well as informal meetings are held) … It’s about business… Business is business, stupid!

Enough… Enough of lying to the workers and the people!
All the boss parties in that den of bandits of the Congress have the same boss, who is none other than Stanley, the US ambassador.
Enough… Enough of bragging that today we can stop Milei’s attack with some thousands chanting in the streets, as with the “green tide” (the multitudinous rallies that got the abortion law, NT)

Stop vending pipedreams. The bosses’ politicians are not going to become "progressive" (as the left has been saying for the last 8 months) just because thousands of us are putting pressure on them in the streets... Please!!! Don't lie anymore!
Nothing is obtained from the executioners of the people by putting pressure on them. You have to put your foot on their chest and bring them to their knees. They will give something only if they see that they can lose everything.
Here in Argentina, the sources of cheap and key raw materials that imperialist companies require, such as gas and lithium, are at stake today. It is the plundering at the hands of bankers and the IMF what is at stake. For much less than that, imperialism and Zionism, Milei's partners, have been massacring the Palestinian people in a true genocide.
Stop lying!

The laws and the attacks are passed because the traitors, scoundrels and sellouts of the CGT and the CTAs support Milei... Don't lie! That's the truth! They support Milei in exchange for the millions of pesos from the union workers’ health insurances, which they have been pocketing. They have allowed labour flexibility pass; they have handed over collective bargaining agreements... They have abandoned the retired to repression and the unemployed movement to hunger. They have divided each one of the struggles and left thousands of indiscriminately laid off state workers to fight alone.
Enough...
It was Peronism that, with the Fernándezs, starved the people to death and is now the one that gives Milei governability, and the Peronist collaborationist bureaucracy supports him.
Let's be clear, (Buenos Aires province governor) Axel Kicillof applies the same plan of hunger and misery as Milei. However, he could easily apply progressive taxes to the entire oligarchy of the province of Buenos Aires. But he doesn't do it because they are all partners in business.
Enough...

Let's make a big protest... a really big one (as they like to say)...
A march of all sectors of the labor and mass movement...
A multitudinous march... But where to???

TO THE CGT, TO THROW OUT OF THE WINDOW THOSE TRAITORS OF THE UNION BUREAUCRACY… IT IS HIGH TIME!
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE PATH FOR THE GENERAL STRIKE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO WEAKEN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE AEA (BOSSES’ CHAMBER) AND THE IMF.

It is time.
The Parliament abdicated and handed over all powers to King Milei… and if even one of Milei’s vetoes were to be stopped in Congress, the Supreme Court of Justice would come out to validate it.
It is the arch-reactionary Constitution of 1853.
It is the Argentine semi-colonial bourgeois state, which must be defeated by preparing the ARGENTINAZO.
With worker-student unity, as in the Cordobazo.
By uniting and coordinating those who fight, self-organizing the workers and rebellious youth.

Enough...
Enough of deceiving the masses!

The Milei administration is not “a weak government”, as the bizarre social-democratic deputies pictured it. This government is supported by imperialism, big business, all the bosses' parties... Even the Kirchnerites, who promise to defeat it in 2025 and who control the majority of the union bureaucracy, which long ago have made a pact with Milei. We can see (metal workers' union head) Furlan, the leaders of the CTA of teachers and public servants, the leaders of SMATA (autoworkers union), of the bank workers union, (trucksters union head) Moyano... that is to say, the majority of the "Kirchnerite" union bureaucracy supports Milei, both from the CGT and the CTA.

Meanwhile, the parliamentary left throws dirt in the eyes of the workers saying that by pressuring the congress of the princes, the king can be stopped... That is absolutely not true.
Milei is the government of the Rio Tinto, the largest Anglo-Australian mining company in the world, which with the RIGI (the recently approved law that gives investors such facilities that they can take their profits without leaving anything in the country, not even a penny of taxes, and plunder natural resources at will, NT) is about to swallow up all the lithium wealth in Salta and Jujuy. In the same way, Shell and Chrevron are keeping Vaca Muerta rich gas field.
You say weak? It is the masses who are still weak, they are desperately seeking to enter the fight, and do so, but they are permanently divided and betrayed by their leaders, who submit them to the parliament and the bosses' politicians, while enduring a fierce economic blow on their heads.

The currents that claim to be left do not prepare the working class for the decisive battles that are underway or for those to come. Unfortunately, the masses will suffer the consequences and not their leaders who today are presenting them an "easy" and "simple" path against a "super weak" government.
We must quickly regroup the workers' ranks under a revolutionary program attacking capitalists’ property. In order for the people to eat... it is necessary to expropriate the transnationals, take their banks without compensation! We must break with the IMF! To achieve quality free public education and health, decent bread and work... we must fight using the methods of the proletarian revolution.
The PTS and the FIT, unfortunately, for months now (although they now want to hide it when life has already given its verdict), have been insisting to the workers that with the "liberal", "democratic" and "oppositionist" Kirchnerite bourgeoisie and some MPs from the most reactionary elites of the nation who may turn around, the attack of Milei and imperialism, which has already begun a new recolonizing offensive on the nation, can be stopped.
Enough is enough!

It is necessary to unite and coordinate those who fight!

Open the way to worker-student self-organization!

Out with Milei and his bosses from the US embassy
and the slave-owning employers!

Let’s stop everything!

Stop the universities! Stop the buses and trains! Stop the ships and planes! Stop the children from going to school and the steel from leaving the steel mills! Stop the factories and state offices! Stop the trucks and oil wells! Let the unemployed march and block the roads! That's when we'll show who's in charge... the capitalists, their parties, their government and the US embassy or the workers and the people.
The call to stop everything must come from the organizations in struggle, from the militant unions, from the grassroots assemblies, from the self-convened assemblies of students, teachers and non-teaching staff of the universities that get rid of the rectors who a few months ago already made a pact with Milei. Let the call come from the health workers who are defending the public hospitals, confronting the lay-offs and preparing for new fights for wages.

Thus, on that path we will win, getting rid of the traitors of the CGT and CTA and their truce with the fascist Milei, breaking once and for all with all the boss politicians and all their parties, agents of the US imperialists.

We must expropriate without compensation Rio Tinto and Chevron... the parasites of the AEA group and the new agribusiness oligarchy in Argentina!
It is necessary to dissolve the murderous police!

They are coming for everything that is ours, let's go after them all... So that they all go and not a single one remains... So that in Argentina we can cry out what is already being shouted loudly in the streets of the USA in support of the martyred Palestine: INTIFADA AND REVOLUTION!

Enough of the collaborationist union bureaucracy!

GENERAL STRIKE! OPEN THE ROAD TO THE ARGENTINAZO!
SO THAT THEY ALL GO AWAY AND NOT A SINGLE ONE REMAINS
ARGENTINA WILL BE SOCIALIST OR A COLONY OF WALL STREET
