Brazil - January 10th, 2023

Faced with the Bolsonarist putsch of 8 January…

Fascism must be crushed with the workers' militia and the revolutionary general strike

The coup gangs are armed by Big Capital, the police and generals of the Brazilian army. They are led by US imperialism, which received Bolsonaro and lets him stay in Florida, while the scoundrel Biden expels thousands of Hispanic immigrants.
FASCISM IS countered by attacking the property of those who arm it and whip it up against the masses, by confronting the police that arm and defend it.
FASCISM IS CRUSHED wherever they are blocking a road or encircling a barrack, with the workers' militia of the trade union centers, the homeless and landless movements and the workers' parties.
The bourgeoisie has declared civil war and, before it is too late, they must be stopped and crushed.

Subordinating the working class to the government of Lula and the big bosses is a suicidal policy for the working class. The Lula-Alckmin government is also under the command of the US embassy to disorganize the working class and to subjugate it to the democracy for the rich. Lula is lying! He wants to defeat the fascist hordes with the same police that escorted them and opened them the way, and with the same generals who protect them at the gates of the barracks.

The new government of Lula, his vice-president Alckmin and his bourgeois ministers and big bankers are absolutely against the possibility that the masses and the workers could smash fascism with their methods of struggle. The former know very well that the victorious workers, having chastised the fascists with a combat detachment, would come to their factories armed and ready to fight for their demands for a living wage and decent work.

The government of capitalist democracy ties the hands of the workers so that they do not confront fascism and defeat it. They keep telling the workers that if they fight for their demands, if they don't accept the flexibilization of labor and the dismissals, BOLSONARO AND THE FASCISTS WILL COME.
TO DEFEAT FASCISM IT IS NECESSARY TO BREAK POLITICALLY WITH THE BOURGEOISIE AND ITS GOVERNMENT. Not to do so would be suicide for the exploited, a question that will be the exclusive responsibility of the reformist leaderships of the mass organizations.

MILLIONS OF WORKERS AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE FULL OF HATRED IN BRAZIL, IN THE WHOLE OF LATIN AMERICA AND THE WORLD WANT TO SMASH THE FASCIST GANGS AND THOSE WHO ARM THEM.... THERE ARE NO EXCUSES. THIS IS THE MOMENT.

Front and unity of action of the workers' and poor peasants' organizations independently of the bourgeois government of the exploiters. Attacking the fascists without mercy wherever they are, on every road and in every one of the barracks. If they continue to raise their heads they will flood Brazil with workers' blood as imperialism did in the 1970s.

The US has Bolsonaro well guarded there. If Lula fails to implement Wall Street's fund-monetarist plan, they will send the generals and fascists to defend their business, as has happened in Peru and Bolivia
With the workers' militia attacking the capitalists... With the revolutionary General Strike to seize all the factories, banks and lands of the coup plotters, to put them yo work under the control of the workers and the poor people... That is the only way to defeat fascism

WE DO NOT FORGET! NOBODY CAN FORGET THE BLOOD SHED IN THE '60S AND '70S IN LATIN AMERICA

In Chile in the 1970s, Stalinism proclaimed the democratic and peaceful road to socialism. And Allende sent the "democratic general" Pinochet to defeat the first coup attempt, known as "El Tancazo". AND IT WAS THIS SAME "DEMOCRATIC" GENERAL WHO CRUSHED THE CHILEAN REVOLUTION.

The masses in Brazil are already winning the streets. In Bolivia they are clashing with the fascists in Santa Cruz. In deep Peru a massacre against the mass uprising has begun.... ENOUGH OF FIGHTING DIVIDED! THE ENEMY IS IMPERIALISM AND THE NATIVE BOURGEOISIES!

It would be enough to launch a call from the trade union centers of Brazil, like the CSP-Conlutas and the trade union centers of its International Trade Union Network, to travel to Brasilia, so that thousands of Latin American workers' delegations arrive to organize and coordinate a continental battle to defeat this coup and fascist offensive of imperialism over Latin America.

Imperialism is coming for the gas, for the lithium, for the minerals… It is coming for everything! The Lulas, the Borics, the Petroes, are coming to take the mass offensives in our continent away from the streets, disorganize and expropriate them with their siren songs,. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF PHONIES!

They have in their jails thousands of fighters from Cali, from the "Plaza de la Dignidad" in Chile. The martyrs of Senkata in Bolivia are still crying out for justice... Now the Peruvian generals are arresting and murdering hundreds of fighters.
Open the way to the Latin American working class! Out with IMF, OAS, ITAR, UNASUR! Out with the US and NATO bases in Chile, Colombia, Malvinas and all of Latin America! There they coordinate and centralize their lackeys, be they the pro-imperialist governments -the so called "progressives" - or the putsches, coups and fascist attacks of their other agents who are more and more necessary FOR them to finish plundering all the wealth of Latin America, at a time of brutal bankruptcy of the big bankers and the international financial oligarchy.

Open the way to the independent continental struggle of the workers and peasants. IN BRAZIL TODAY WE MUST FIGHT AS YESTERDAY IN CHILE, COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, BOLIVIA. LET'S SET UP, FROM ALL THE WORKERS' ORGANIZATIONS, A COORDINATED AND CENTRALISED FRONT LINE TO SMASH FASCISM IN BRAZIL AND IN THE WHOLE CONTINENT.

Democracy is defended by the workers with the method of the proletarian revolution: Workers' militia, pickets and revolutionary General Strike! Out with the US ambassador! We must break any support for the bourgeois government guarded by the generals and the murderous police!

The strength of the working class lies in its internationalist unity. THE AMERICAN WORKING CLASS WILL NOT LEAVE THE MARTYRED LATIN AMERICAN MASSES ALONE.
FASCISM IS NOT TO BE ARGUED WITH, IT IS TO BE FOUGHT!

Before it is too late...

OPEN THE WAY TO THE WORKER AND PEASANT FRONT LINE ALL OVER LATIN AMERICA
