The Wall Street fascists are coming for everything

A brutal attack on the American working class and open counterrevolutionary warfare by Trump's Gestapo against migrants

The US are waging wars and annexing new territories to regain control of the world economy and politics from their imperialist competitors

 Pirate Trump, with his “Board of Peace”, is marching to consummate the genocide against the people of Gaza

After the Iranian theocracy advanced in massacring the rebellious masses; after the cowardly Venezuelan bourgeoisie surrendered,

h
The fascists in Wall Street are using their warships to besiege Iran and seize control of its oil routes

The last word has not been spoken
The world working class has not surrendered and is fighting back in the US, Europe and the semi-colonial world

In Palestine today, one of the decisive battles of the masses of the Middle East and the international proletariat against the imperialist offensive is being fought

We must stop the war machine of imperialism and Zionism!

Los yanquis van a Medio Oriente por todo. Las pandillas burguesas de la región ya le hicieron su “trabajo sucio”, como en Irán masacrando a las masas, o sacándolas del combate como en Líbano, Irak, Cisjordania, etc.
La flota militar yanqui se dirige al Golfo Pérsico, mientras con misiles de hambre y pestes, los carniceros imperialistas y el sionismo buscan asentar el genocidio en Gaza.

The US is going to the Middle East for everything. The region's bourgeois gangs have already done their "dirty work," as in Iran, by massacring the masses, or removing them from the fight, as in Lebanon, Iraq, the West Bank, etc.
The US military fleet is heading to the Persian Gulf, while the imperialist butchers and Zionism seek to consolidate genocide in Gaza by means of the missiles of hunger and plagues.

Symbolic acts of solidarity with the martyred people of Gaza are no longer enough. The second phase of the "Board of peace" plan, under its self-proclaimed president Trump, imperialism prepares to deliver the final blow in Gaza.
The path to halting this imperialist offensive in the Middle East was marked some time ago by the dockworkers of Genoa who conquered the General Strike in Italy for Palestine, just as the Greek workers did, while peoples were winning the streets in dozens and dozens of countries around the world against the genocide by Zionism and the USA.

In Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and dozens of other US cities, the fight goes on against Trump's counterrevolutionary military forces. There we will find the true allies of the martyred masses of Gaza and of the struggle of all oppressed peoples.
 Paralyzing the USA war machine from the very heart of imperialism is a crucial and central task for US workers, as is crushing Trump's Gestapo, which murders not only immigrants but is now attacking the entire working class of that country. It is largely within the workers and oppressed’s power to stop the Fifth Fleet, which is approaching the Middle East to massacre there, and also to halt the counterrevolutionary "peace" pact with which Trump has appointed himself president and king of Gaza.
In Palestine and throughout the Middle East, in Minnesota and throughout the USA, one class, one struggle!
The fascists of Wall Street deserve a new anti-war movement that, as in Iraq and Vietnam in times past, will be a fundamental factor in the defeat of imperialism.

After the genocide and martyrdom, the resistance in Gaza has not surrendered. It announces that it will not disarm. It denounces that it will not accept Netanyahu, a war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, at any negotiating table.

The siege of Gaza must be broken now before it's too late! The plan for the final annihilation of the Palestinian people is underway.
It is a task for the working class and anti-imperialist fighters of the world to supply Gaza with food, provisions, and volunteers from across the Middle East to fight alongside the Palestinian masses!

As we have said, propaganda actions in support of Gaza are no longer enough. Gaza Peace Fleet organizers are announcing a new departure for April. But the matter is already being decided! The US "peace fleet" is already in the Persian Gulf, and the final massacre in Gaza and the wars for the control of the oil routes are already underway.
It's about arms, provisions arriving in Gaza, volunteers going to fight, and paralyzing the war machine of the imperialist powers; not about symbolic propaganda.

Trump is collecting USD1 billion from each of the servile governments marching to crush Gaza, so they can rebuild it by making fabulous real estate deals. Meanwhile, they are already bringing in bulldozers and dumping rubble and corpses into the sea to build luxury hotels, without Palestinians in their own land…
For one daily wage from every worker in all organizations and unions worldwide, so that the resistance receives everything it needs to deepen its counter-offensive, surrounded by the struggle of the international working class!

The Iranian working class should not be massacred and defeated by the clerics who long ago surrendered to Zionism, disarmed the heroic masses of Lebanon, and today are murdering, as the world press is already announcing, more than 30,000 exploited who have risen up in the streets of Iran!
Open the road to the revolutionary uprising of the Iranian working class and popular masses! For the disarmament of the fascist Islamic Guard! For the widespread arming of the masses! As in 1979, open the road to the shoras (councils) of workers and rank-and-file soldiers! These are the forces to defeat the US warships marching to control the oil routes in the Middle East.

Zionist bombs are once again falling indiscriminately on southern Lebanon. We must break the surrender pact imposed by Hezbollah's bourgeois leadership, recover control of the arms and as in the heroic battles of 2006 and 2010, make the Zionist fascism —that seeks to occupy not only Gaza, but the entire Lebanese nation—, feel its deserved punishment!

The revolutionary masses of Iraq and Yemen, who expelled imperialism and stood up alongside martyred Gaza, must return to the fight… before it is too late.

The Syrian masses must open the fronts and go after all the troops occupying the country. We must march on Quneitra to crush the Zionist invasion and defeat Zionism in the Golan Heights!
Al-Jolani embraces the US imperialists, the very same ones who sent Zionism to occupy Syria. He represents the reactionary force that, with mermaid songs, seeks to divert the revolutionary uprising of the masses that overthrew al-Assad, went to free their prisoners from the tomb-like prisons, searched for the more than 120,000 disappeared, and seek to rid themselves of all the occupying forces that have divided and bled Syria dry.

The tragedy of the new uprisings of the Syrian masses, which these masses must also contend with, is the enormous betrayal and backstabbing inflicted upon them by the SDF and the PKK, who surrendered the struggle for the self-determination of the Kurdish people in Hasakah and Kobani. Under US command and protected by the fascist al-Assad, they became mercenary ground troops of the imperialist oil companies, occupying a large part of the Arab territory of Syria. They were just another occupying force.
The YPG transformed into the private guards of imperialist oil companies, imprisoning, persecuting, and occupying the land and major cities of northern Syria, such as Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, from the masses who were rising up yesterday, fighting against al-Assad and Putin's bombs. They broke with the revolutionary front long ago, as they did in 2013, and joined the Zionist cause. A people that oppresses another one cannot liberate itself.
What is clear is that the US imperialist no longer want intermediaries who require more funding than necessary. Trump was clear in his statements about the Kurds in Syria when he said: “Just so you understand, the Kurds were paid tremendous amounts of money, given oil and other things, so they were doing it for themselves more than they were doing this for us.”
A pro-imperialist left claims that the USA has betrayed the Kurdish people. This is outrageous. The US imperialist are not in it to promote national liberation struggles, but to crush them. They were completely consistent and loyal to their own businesses, monopolies, and imperialist oil companies.
It was the Stalinist counter-revolutionary forces of the PKK, who placed themselves under the orders of the USA, who betrayed the Syrian masses, who handed over their weapons in Turkey, and entered the government of the US protectorate in Iraq to cover the withdrawal of the marines in 2008.
They belong to the school that inherited the counter-revolutionary policies of Stalinism, which, from World War II onward and throughout the Yalta era, forged countless pacts with Anglo-US “democratic” imperialism. This resulted in hundreds of defeats and the crushing of dozens upon dozens of revolutionary struggles since the postwar period.

Now the US imperialists are sending their warships to the Middle East
The imperialist offensive must be crushed!

In Venezuela, we can see the cowardly role of the native bourgeoisie, who fear the working class and its revolution a thousand times more than they fear imperialism —of which they are junior partners. There You have Acting President Delcy Rodríguez traveling to the White House to meet with Trump and discuss her business dealings. They are even capable of handing over their own president to maintain their power.
In Tehran, the Ayatollahs did the “dirty work” by trying to crush the masses, while all the Arab bourgeoisies maintained their fencing on Gaza. As we said, the second phase of the plan involves missiles of hunger, bulldozers dumping corpses and rubble into the sea, and Trump declaring himself president of Gaza and Palestine.
The US imperialist are determined to create the "Greater Israel" and force all Arab bourgeoisies to submit to it.
The USA is going to reclaim its oil and hydrocarbon routes, shutting out all its competitors, especially the imperialist powers of Maastricht, to which the US sells liquefied canned gas at ten times the price, after cutting off their supply of cheap pipeline gas from Russia when Putin invaded Ukraine and is now negotiating with him for Ukraine's surrender and the plundering of its resources. And now... the US imperialist are going after Tehran and the entire Middle East, along with the oil routes.

US imperialists are not coming to reorganize but to break up the world market, over which, since the crash of 2008, they have been losing their hegemony and control.
The US must destroy the existing global political and economic balance since the 2008 global crash, so that the USA can once again establish themselves as a dominant power.
The US had been excluded from the vast European market stretching from Portugal to the Russian steppes. This must end, as it is the central issue in inter-imperialist disputes around the world today.

Today, as we said, Trump is preparing to seal a pact with Putin in Ukraine, debunking the cheap talk that a “war between Russia and NATO” was taking place there, when in reality both are preparing to divide among themselves and plunder that oppressed nation. The US imperialists are handing over the Donbas and Crimea to Putin as they close a deal with him.
The left, which subjugates the working class to the bourgeoisie they dress up as "progressive," regardless of which side they are on, has a lot to explain. And those who denied the war of oppression and plunder waged by Putin and the Moscow oligarchs against the oppressed Ukrainian nation—as well as those who led the Ukrainian masses to believe the US imperialist were going to liberate them—must certainly give account. The fact is, today the US is the one that will seize all the Ukraine’s riches and definitively colonize it.

US imperialism is going for everything. We will not give up of insisting that it must first finish dismantling the Maastricht imperialist powers, which openly challenged it for the world market by controlling Russia and the entire European market under the aegis of the Franco-German axis.
Imperialist Europe has entered a serious crisis and a dilemma due to the US offensive. It has not only lost the European unified market as it had been previously structured, but it has also lost any military bloc to maintain its spheres of influence. NATO is, in fact, a thing of the past, as seen in Ukraine, Greenland, and by the fact that the US is now going solo on the global stage.
The Wall Street bandits have kicked over the global order. They are threatening to establish themselves in Greenland. It is clear they want to create a perimeter to encircle Russia and go after it, either by making deals with Putin or directly with a faction of the oligarchs willing to break away from him… They already did it in Venezuela. They are doing it now in Iran with the extortion of the US fleet in the Persian Gulf.

The US is thus strategically positioning itself under Trump's leadership with a fierce trade war against China. They will then go after its powerful domestic market, which is what they truly desire. That is, to be able to exploit, without intermediaries, the most important commodity—the one that produces all others—the labor power, which the Chinese mandarins exploit and subjugate by the millions.

“America First,” says Trump. This time, the US is not going to Iran with 23 armies, as it did to Iraq in 2001 with Bush Jr. or earlier in 1991 with Bush Sr. The US is no longer sharing, but instead disputing spheres of influence. The fact is, if the rest of the European imperialist powers do well, he will do very poorly, and that is not exactly what Trump is willing to give up—nor are his competitors. The ultimate prize is Moscow and Beijing.
Some of Trump's competitors, like France, have declared that they "do not intend to be vassals," but behind the scenes, as Macron did, they propose going to Greenland together in exchange for doing business together in Iran and Egypt. In the European Parliament, cries of "We must break with NATO" and "We must denounce the US for breaking with the UN" are heard. But matters between the world's imperialist powers are not resolved with words, but with disputes, warships, and wars.
There you have Germany and Italy signing a unilateral arms deal. There, indeed, is extremely high labor productivity and a massive technological revolution capable of assembling a powerful army, equipped even with nuclear warheads, in a very short time.

The political and economic offensive of the US imperialists cannot be sustained without wars

The 2008 economic crash and its subsequent rounds of crises and outbursts in the US led the country to dump the burden of its crisis on the rest of the world and blocs of imperialist powers responded by closing ranks, including blocs of semi-colonial countries. Trump attempts to escape this mess with his offensive, starting by controlling raw material sources and securing the super-profits of his monopolies and multinationals by controlling trade routes and semi-colonial countries.
This US offensive cannot be sustained without warships. With these, they indiscriminately bombarded boats carrying innocent people across the Caribbean. They intend to do the same, a thousand times over, in the Middle East.
The policy of controlling the seas and their trade routes with warships is what British imperialism did when it controlled the seas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and that is what the US has to do now. The profits of the Wall Street parasites are kept by controlling all trade routes, by blockading entire regions of the planet, and by a policy of direct annexation and colonization enforced at bayonet point.

 
The era of parliamentarianism and reformism is coming to an end. The bankrupt Wall Street investment groups must once again distribute profits. Every moment of social peace is running out… The path to war is opening up, and only the enormous struggles of the working class can prevent it, beginning with the US working class and the struggle of immigrants, their allies. They are the ones preventing a Bonapartist government from taking hold in the US.
Trump is sending his fleet to the Persian Gulf to complete his control of the planet's energy, including Russian energy through his agreement with Ukraine. We have already seen how he sells expensive liquefied gas to Europe. What won't he do now that he controls 90% of the world's gas and oil?
The other imperialist powers are not going to look the other way. We are facing decisive clashes.

The US bourgeoisie is hesitant. We already saw Exxon’s top CEOs sitting with Trump to discuss investments in Venezuelan oil, asking him: “Who guarantees that you will stay more than two years to maintain these policies? Who guarantees that this policy can continue for the next 10 years, the period in which we have to recoup our investments?” This is the fundamental contradiction of the current US offensive. They do not have a dictatorship in the US capable of perpetuating itself and guaranteeing business for its transnational corporations, nor have they inflicted enough defeat on the global working class to prevent it from ruining the businesses of the imperialist gangs.
The key figures of the Wall Street fascists who are now running the monopolies claim that the balance of forces is to be won, and they havet set out to do so. Because behind it all lies US decadence. And this is the gang of pirates that reigns in the USA.
The tendencies towards fascism and war, towards the breakdown of social peace, towards civil war and revolution and counter-revolution are therefore open.

As the US Navy approaches Iran, the country's working class of Iran has not yet been definitively defeated by the clerics, who have long been hiding underground and negotiating who will surrender to the USA and how.
Despite the brutal genocide, the resistance in Gaza has not yet surrendered. The US working class, as we have seen, is engaged in open offensive combat.

Trump arrives as the self-appointed president of Venezuela and Gaza. But Trump, You are not king yet! You have not even established yourself in those two areas. That remains to be seen, and it will be decided by the class struggle.

The world working class has not surrendered
They resist in Gaza and fight in Iran. There are fights in the USA, with general strikes in imperialist Europe and revolutionary uprisings in the semi-colonial world.

The working class is fighting back against Trump and the Wall Street fascists from within the very heart of the imperialist beast. The Minneapolis general strike of January 23rd threatens to spread to hundreds of cities across the US.
The general strike to defeat Trump, crush his fascist gangs, and go after the vulture funds of Wall Street, is on the agenda.

A major US military offensive could once again generate a powerful anti-war movement, as it did yesterday in response to the massacre in Palestine. This movement must return, because the struggles in Gaza and Minneapolis, and the fight of immigrants, are all part of the same class struggle, in the USA, the Middle East, and internationally.

The Italian working class, together with the workers of Greece and Belgium, took decisive steps through the general strike to support the martyred masses of Gaza. These are the forces that still exist and that must rise up again without delay!

Reformism seeks to pour water on the fire of the masses, who by the millions around the world have won the streets for Palestine, precisely at a time when genocide is taking hold. This is an open betrayal by the leadership of the working class internationally.

In the Middle East, the issue is far from being settled, although the local bourgeoisies have put the masses on the defensive, masses who have just suffered an enormous ordeal of genocides and massacres. This is how imperialism responded to the great revolutionary processes of the masses that began in 2011.
But Tehran's fire has not been extinguished. In Gaza, the resistance has not surrendered. The situation is still open in Lebanon… The battle is for the return of Tunisia and the revolutionary Egypt of 2011, which shook the entire Maghreb and Middle East.
The anti-imperialist struggle of the Muslim peoples and the Arab masses must pass into the firm hands of the working class.
Only the alliance of the working class, the poor peasants, and the oppressed peoples, together with the working class of the imperialist countries in struggle, will be able to defeat the imperialist offensive and the dark night that threatens to descend upon them.

Without delay, before it is too late, we must build an international movement that multiplies a thousandfold the actions in the streets of the world working class to crush the imperialist offensive and its murderous war machine, to liberate Gaza from martyrdom and genocide, and all of Palestine from the river to the sea.

We must defeat the US fleet marching to the Middle East and crush the peace plan of the cemeteries of Trump and his henchmen! We must destroy the Zionist-fascist State of Israel and send the murderous Trump and his real estate company, which imposed extermination in Gaza, to the dumpster of history!

The decisive fight is today. The forces are there. The task is none other than to unite and coordinate the world working class.

WE MUST CONQUER THE INTERNATIONAL GENERAL STRIKE!

We must stop the genocide! We must crush imperialism!

For the working class to live, imperialism must die!

In the revolutionary uprisings in Nepal, and in Black Africa in Madagascar, Tanzania, Mozambique; and in the last battle in Bolivia, the masses have entered the fray with the cry of “REVOLUTION!” To confront and defeat imperialism, the path is that of revolution.
The CEOs of Shell, BP, Total, ENI, Exxon, and Chevron must be treated like Trump treats the millions of migrants in the US and like Zionism treats the Palestinian masses! Their companies, built on plunder and wars of extermination, must be expropriated, nationalized without compensation, and put into operation under workers' control! Their banks, they must be seized; yes, their banks, from which these parasites swindled the entire world with their financial schemes and parasitic profits that they now seek to recover through plunder and war unless the international proletariat stops them!

Capitalism in its pestilent state can no longer resolve or grant any of the concessions that the masses need even to survive.
Paid agents of capital proclaim that it is still posible that, without defeating this rotten capitalist system and its states, the masses can improve their living conditions. This is a lie. The entire planet is exposed. Technological revolutions are merely a means to refine the arms of war that massacre rebellious peoples. The plans to increase the war budgets of imperialist powers come at the expense of workers' wages and social gains.
The proletariat is sinking into the destruction of the productive forces, where hundreds of millions have already been excluded from the production process. There are 300 million migrants wandering the world in search of a country, a roof, and a place to settle.

Reformism speaks of "socialism for the future" and promises that paradise can be found in this world ruled by parasites, slaveholders who plunder oppressed peoples and brutally attack the world working class.
Ahead, we Trotskyists, who fight under the banner of the Fourth International, affirm that without a victory of the socialist revolution, the whole civilization is at risk. Imperialism, in its struggles for spheres of influence, will lead it to war. That is the alternative: socialist revolution or war.

The pacifism of the Western left is coming to an end. The 'pinky-up' attitude of arrogant professors, who treat as 'barbarians' the peoples fighting against the looting of imperialist powers, is reaching its end.

Two theories, two strategies, and two programs clash within the global working class:

On one side, the social-imperialist parties, the Stalinist left that surrendered the workers' states to world capitalism and imperialism; and their followers and acolytes, the renegades of Trotskyism. Here and there, they bind the working class to what they call "progressive bourgeoisies," painting a picture of paradise on earth for the working class through the reform of this bankrupt system, and thus preparing the conditions for the disorganization of any mass offensive, subjecting their struggle to their "democratic" executioners…
That was the experience, for example, in the US, where the “anti-Trump front” led to Biden's victory. It was Biden who truly disbanded the mass movement that forced Trump to flee during his first term, and its was Biden who initiated the genocide in Gaza and divided Europe, allowing Putin's invasion of Ukraine to proceed. The US working class paid a heavy price then, and the global working class is paying a heavy price now.
We speak out against and denounce a left-wing camp that portrayed the so-called "Bolivarian bourgeoisies" as anti-imperialist, and they are the ones who today kneel, surrender Cuba to imperialism, Venezuela to the USA, or administering, as model students, the Pinochetista Chile like Boric and other Stalinist scum.

On the other side, we Trotskyists fight to recover the banners of the Fourth International. These have been dragged to the mud of reformism by the detractors of our party.
We are the ones who tell the working class the truth. That their power comes from their unity. Trust no one, except for your own strength.
That the fight is for the revolution, and that this is opened by every revolutionary uprising of the masses, which puts on the agenda the establishment of self-organizing bodies, direct democracy and the arming of the masses.
We are those of us who fight to refound the Fourth International and revolutionary combat parties, a matter that will only be possible if the proletariat begins to recover, under the blows of capital, the proletarian internationalism that reformism destroyed.

Reform vs. Revolution, an ironclad alternative in the 21st century.
