Chile

For a worker, internationalist May Day and for the socialist revolution!

The place of the working class is not in the public event of the anti-worker government of Boric, its bourgeois ministers, the "red pacos" of the CP, and the strikebreaker bureaucracy of the CUT
They are the new administrators of the regime of the Pinochetista generals and imperialism!

The place of the working class and the exploited is alongside a the rebellious youth who yesterday skipped the turnstiles and today are the vanguard of the struggle against the government of Boric and the CP
It is necessary to take the streets together with the high school students who are returning to combat!

We will conquer our Dignity and all our demands by reopening the path to the Revolutionary General Strike and resuming the revolutionary combat of October 2019!

This May 1st, the International Day of Workers' Struggle, finds the working class, the rebellious youth and the exploited masses of Chile suffering a furious attack. This time the one in charge of applying the worst plans of imperialism of hunger, super-exploitation and looting is the new government of the hated Pinochetista regime, commanded by Boric, Stalinism and its bourgeois ministers like Marcel, a former Piñera’s official.
Since the government of this new "Concertación" took office, it has not ceased its attack on the masses with inflation, layoffs, high cost of living, repression and jailing of those who fight, while it is the best "left" guardian of the businesses of the Pinochetista generals, the transnationals and imperialism with its FTAs.
This government is a direct agent  of the capitalists and the transnationals that comes to relegitimize the battered regime after the phenomenal revolutionary offensive that shook Chile in October 2019. The same as Castillo in Peru, Arce in Bolivia, Fernández in Argentina and those like Petro in Colombia and Lula in Brazil that are preparing to be. All of them are in charge of guarding the Latin American “backyard” for the US imperialist pirates!

Against them, today the Chilean high school students are once again the vanguard of the struggle, this time facing the Boric Government, just as they did yesterday with the Piñera Government, jumping over the subway turnstiles in October 2019. Students from more than 10 high schools in Santiago are fighting, clashing with the murderous pacos (cops), with mobilizations, takeovers, marching on the Santiago mayor's office led by the CP, under the cry of "this is not a government, they are pure Pinochetista laws" to conquer free education and their just demands. Long live the fight of the rebellious youth that returns to the first line of combat!

In Chile and all over the world: the "red pacos" of Stalinism are the dangerous ones!

Today the treacherous Stalinists are once again in the government in Chile, together with the Broad Front and the former Concertación. The CP is more than proven as the greatest traitor and betrayer of the combat of the working class, the student movement, the poor peasants and the exploited masses and the greatest supporter and savior of the damned civic-military regime, the officer cast of the Pinochetista Army and their governments.
This is the same Communist Party that supports the invasion of Putin and his counterrevolutionary troops on Ukraine, massacring the working class, while preparing to definitively split the Ukrainian nation with the NATO pirates.
It is the same thing that the CP does in Syria, supporting for years the genocide by the fascist al-Assad and the hitman Putin, at the expense of imperialism, against the martyred masses.
This May 1st, the place of the Chilean working class is alongside its class siblings from Ukraine and Syria. Stand together with the Ukrainian working class and masses! Stand together with the working class, the poor peasants and the martyred people of Syria!

This May 1st, the honor date for the working class and the rebellious youth of Chile is to face their new enemies who are in La Moneda. They are the “red pacos” who in Cuba, hand in hand with the Diaz Canel government of the new Castro bourgeoisie, beat up, imprisoned and has just imposed brutal prison sentences on the workers and youth who last July 11 rose up against the hunger they suffer due to the capitalist restoration that the CP is guaranteeing by handing over Cuba to imperialism.
This May 1st: stand up alongside the Cuban workers and youth! Immediate and unconditional freedom for the political prisoners of the 11J uprising against hunger in Cuba! Freedom to all political prisoners in Chile and worldwide!
While the whole Stalinism continues to support the Maduro government in Venezuela, today a huge battalion of the Latin American working class stands up to fight against that scam of the "Bolivarian revolution" that only dedicated itself to starving the people and now agrees with the Gringos to plunder Venezuelan oil.
This May 1st: Stand with the Sidor steelworkers in Venezuela and their heroic strike for living wages and against the repressive government of Maduro!

In Chile it was thanks to the role of the CP, the Broad Front and all the traitors of the bureaucracies of the Social Unity Table, who took the masses out of the streets and surrendered  their revolutionary struggle to submit us to the farce of the plebiscite and then to this “Constitutional Convention” scam. Thus they saved the Piñera government and the entire regime of the 1980 Constitution that were about to fall at the hands of the exploited rebels, while with the excuse of "confronting Kast"(the right wing candidate, NT), they submitted the working class to the government of class collaboration of Boric.
Today the Pinochetista regime, safe from the revolutionary fire, continues to enjoy good health thanks to the brutal betrayal by these leaderships, which they also exerted against the revolutionary combat in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and even in the US.

The working class and the exploited have not only failed to achieve any of their demands, but they are worse than before, because their treacherous leaderships  have stolen the victory of the masses' struggle and prevented them from taking power while blowing up all the institutions of the Pinochetista regime.
This is how the masses, who risked everything in the combat, have to pay for the cruel deception and betrayal that these leaderships imposed, so that the same civic-military regime continues, though now with another necklace, that of Stalinism and the Broad Front, but always strictly applying the plans of imperialism as the assassin Piñera did before, while that farce of an anti-democratic Constituent Assembly, an appendage of the Pinochetista regime, continues to deceive the people.

Boric and the CP are the ones that now command the repression of the murderous pacos, who keep thousands of young Mapuche workers and peasants imprisoned for fighting, continue the persecution against the Mapuche community member Facundo Jones Huala, and keep supporting the Pinochetista militiamen in the north of the country against both migrant and local workers.
As if that were not enough, it is thanks to these leaderships of the CP, the Broad Front and the Social Unity Roundtable playing their perfidious  role that the Chile that had woken up went back to sleep, and the bourgeoisie, imperialism and the big capital  felt their hands free to carry out reactionary and fascist actions in the streets, as we saw in the attacks on the high schools in Santiago and today with a new bosses' lockout by the Pinochetista truckers' union.

The path is marked by the fighting high school students of Santiago! This May 1st we have to take the streets together with the rebellious youth to confront the Boric Government  and the CP!

The struggle to sweep away the regime of the Constitution of the '80, for the most elementary democratic demands and for our working class and popular fair demands will make them real by our jumping over the turnstiles again, returning to Dignidad Square, fighting with the methods of struggle of the working class: the stoppages, the pickets, the general strike, the fight at the barricades, resuming the revolutionary path of October 2019, setting up the organizations of self-organization and direct democracy of the workers and the exploited, such as the base assemblies, the unitary factory committees of employed, unemployed, migrant workers, etc., such as the Industrial Cordons in the '70s, the "first line" in each factory, mine, port and work center, the self-defense committees and the worker and peasant militia to crush the fascist gangs and dissolve the murderous pacos.

For all this, it is necessary to set up a Fighting Front of all the sectors that are fighting, such as the students of the National Institute, the Liceo de Aplicacion and other high schools in Santiago, the port workers of San Antonio, Huasco and Iquique and the relatives of the political prisoners, and all the combative worker and student organizations to break with Boric's new Concertacion and kick out the collaborationist bureaucracies of the CUT and the Social Unity Board!

Unfortunately, currents such as the MIT / LIT-CI, the PTR / PTS and the UIT-CI were part and parcel with the traps and frauds against the working class, supporting the scam of the Constitutional Convention that came to get the masses out of the revolutionary combat. Some of them even openly supported Boric's class collaboration government, as they did with Castillo in Peru and are preparing to do with Petro in Colombia, or are dedicated to beautifying that anti-worker government.
Enough is enough! It’s time for these currents to break with that rigged Constituent Assembly and with all collaboration with the "red pacos" of the CP and the new Boric Coalition, and to put their forces so that we set up this Fighting Front at the service of confronting all the betrayers of the revolutionary mass struggle!

That is the way to fight and set up a great National Congress of grassroots delegates from the entire labor movement, the poor peasants and the rebellious youth to reopen the path to the Revolutionary General Strike and resume the revolutionary combat of October 2019, to fight as in the revolution of the Industrial Cordons of the '70s and for again raising the cry of: "renationalization of copper without compensation and under workers' control!". In this way we will be able to advance in conquering bread, decent wages and pensions, free education first for the workers' children, land for the poor peasants of Mapuche ethnic origin, and the long-awaited Dignity.

In the Chile looted and subjugated by imperialism, the only solution for the working class and the exploited is the path of the socialist revolution, this time leading it to victory by defeating the civic-military regime, its anti-worker parties, the Pinochetista generals, imperialism and its FTAs, and to conquer our demands by expropriating the transnationals, the bankers and all the expropriators of the people.
The way out is to impose a revolutionary worker and peasant government on the rubble of this infamous regime and its genocidal officers caste, as a bastion of the Latin American and world revolution.

For this, our best allies are the Sidor workers of Venezuela, the Cuban workers and peasants and the entire Latin American working class and mainly, the  US proletariat. One class, one struggle, one enemy from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego: imperialism and its subservient governments and regimes!

The tragedy of the working class and the masses in Chile and throughout the world is the betrayal of their leaderships that close the path to victory for the exploited. Today Stalinism can continue to play its full role thanks to the renegades of Trotskyism who, breaking with the Fourth International and its legacy, support and legitimize the former from the left. They are who sold out the Fourth International to dissolve themselves into common parties, fronts and blocks with the Stalinist scourge.
The working class in Chile and worldwide need a revolutionary leadership, the Fourth International of 1938 refounded, the World Party of the Socialist Revolution. Against the betrayers of the Fourth International who have led it to the mud of Stalinism, the forces of the Trotskyists of the POI-CI and the FLTI are at the service of recovering our world party from the hands of the renegades of Trotskyism. We know that together with the revolutionary forces of the working class and the brave youth of Chile and the world, and under the banners of the Fourth International, we will be able to build a true revolutionary party in Chile, one that is Trotskyist and internationalist, to give back to the working class the direction it deserves and needs to succeed.

Under the flags of the Fourth International of 1938! Open the road to the socialist revolution!

Chile will be socialist or it will be a Wall Street colony!
