OUTBURST OF THE REVOLUTION
Mass insurrection against the increase in gas prices, in a country overflown with oil
The masses marched to the institutions of power to bring down the government. The clash with the police was inevitable. The gendarme was disarmed, police stations were burned and occupied and sectors of the masses armed themselves. "FEBRUARY" BEGAN IN KAZAKHSTAN.
Putin, the gendarme of imperialism in Eurasia, has already sent troops by plane. The murderer of Syria and Chechnya knows what his role is about. The US and UK imperialisms called to stop every demonstration and they condemned them. They have, under Putin's protection, the largest oil companies in Kazakhstan, such as Exxon, Shell, Chevron that, together with Total and BP, loot the wealth of the country, the fifth world's largest oil reserves. In a country of 19 million inhabitants who have black gold under their feet, an increase in the price of gas makes life impossible for the exploited.
Also Turkey, Putin's partner in the massacre of the Syrian revolution, mobilized troops to intervene with him in Kazakhstan, as it did yesterday in the Caucasus, to steal the oil of Azerbaijan,together with BP, under Russia's protective umbrella.
Biden and Putin will have a meetingwithin the next few days. The key is to reaffirm that the Great Russia controls and crushes, on behalf of the transnationals and the imperialist powers, every mass uprising in the region. He is the gendarme, on behalf of the imperialist powers, of all Eurasia.
But this time in Kazakhstan, the masses went further. The oil workers, the heart of the proletariat of this country, intervened in 2011, 2018 and 2020 with great revolutionary strikes.But now the clash is openly to remove the bourgeois government heir of the old Stalinism that surrenderedthe USSR in 1989. Police stations and ministries were taken over in dozens of cities in the country. We are facing a revolutionary uprising like Syria in 2011.
Before armament is generalized and the soviets emerge, a Kornilov insurrection comes from Moscow. It is a counterrevolutionary putsch with elite troops to recover the cities that are in the hands of the masses. In Syria they called them “terrorists” and here they added “infiltrated”.
What will the reformists say now that the masses have armed themselves? Will the reformists do as in Syria and continue on their knees supporting the massacre that is in the making? Will they support the murderous regime of the capitalist restoration in Kazakhstan, as they did with al-Assad and Putin in Syria? Or will they say, as they said there, that the struggle was militarized and then everything retreats, as some argued in Middle East in 2011?
It is time for the Stalinist left and its partners, the renegades of Trotskyism, to show their faces. As servants of imperialism, they are always, every time, on the side of the "Franco" and the "Pinochet" of the 21stcentury.
The revolution that has started in Kazakhstan must triumph. The task is none other than to set up the workers' councils (soviets) and the revolutionary red guards.
"What have these governments given us in the last decades so that we do not rise up?" - the masses cry out loud in the streets.
The fight for the restoration of the dictatorship of the proletariat under the banners of the Third International of Lenin and Trotsky is posed as an immediate task.
The task of the momentis not to leave neither traces nor vestiges of the regime and its autocratic government.
For a workers', soviet and independent Kazakhstan, in a federation of Muslim Soviet republics!
The working class of Eurasia and Russia must return for what is theirs, to recover their revolution that Stalinism handed overto the bourgeoisie and imperialism.
The crushing of the fascist Putin, the leader of the counterrevolutionary white troops, would mean the defeat of the guardian of the affairs of finance capital and the imperialist companies that have colonized all the former Soviet republics. And it would also mean taking back the Great Russia from the Eurasian jackal and his capitalist gang.
A new tide of proletarian revolutionary outbreaks does not stop either in the Middle East or on the American continent.
Against the capitalist catastrophe, the only way out is the fight for the international socialist revolution. Everything else is the betrayal of the reformism and the left-wing lackeys of Stalinism.
Open the road to the Fourth International!
