MARCH 8th: WORKING WOMEN'S
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF STRUGGLE

For an internationalist and combative March 8 together with the world working class! Against imperialism, all its governments and its pro imperialist regimes!

LET US FIGHT TOGETHER WITH INSURGENT PERU! Down with the murderous Dina, the coup-plotting Congress and the entire Fujimorista regime! EVERYBODY TO LIMA, to set up a Latin American and international Committee of Struggle in support of the insurgent masses of Peru! For a Continental Congress of the workers' organizations to promote the struggle against the US imperialism in all of Latin America!

12 YEARS AFTER THE REVOLUTION, LET US FIGHT TOGETHER WITH THE WOMEN OF THE SYRIAN RESISTANCE WHO SHOUT IN THE LAST TRENCHES: "UNTIL DEATH! WE WILL NOT RECONCILE!" THE ASSAD-PUTIN-ERDOGAN-AYATOLLAHS OF IRAN IN THE SERVICE OF THE US IMPERIALISM ARE THE BIGGEST FEMINICIDES OF THE 21ST CENTURY! Today, more than ever: Bring down the regime! All invading troops out of Syria!

LET US FIGHT TOGETHER WITH THE IRANIAN WORKING CLASS that pushed for huge struggles putting the working women and the militant youth at the forefront in the struggle for life, bread, and freedom, against the oppressors and the genocidal dictatorship of the Ayatollahs! Justice for Mesha Ameni and for all our martyrs! Freedom to the political prisoners! No to the executions! Down with the murderous regime of the Iranian Theocracy!
LET'S STAND UP TOGETHER WITH THE UKRAINIAN WOMEN! Who are invaded by the troops of the murderer Putin leaving them together with their children without housing, schools, and hospitals or as refugees in another country! LET'S STAND TOGETHER WITH THE RUSSIAN WOMEN! who confront Putin and the conscription of their sons, husbands, and brothers for the not to be taken to fight in the war. For a proletarian leadership of the war, to drive out the invader, to expropriate imperialism, and to unite the Ukrainian, European, and Russian working class. For a Soviet and independent Ukraine!

LET US FIGHT TOGETHER WITH THE MAPUCHE WOMEN OF ARGENTINA OF THE LOFLAFKENWINKULMAPU! Who are persecuted and imprisoned by the Fernandezes government. We do not reconcile with our executioners of the government of Cristina Kirchner and Fernandez, who are the ones who sentenced the workers of Las Heras to life imprisonment and have more than 7,500 people prosecuted for fighting. Free the detained Mapuche female comrades right now!

LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER WITH THE POLLERA WOMEN AND THE FAMILIES OF THE WOUNDED, DEAD AND DETAINED OF SENKATA AND SACABA IN BOLIVIA! Who continue to fight for the pure and simple freedom, for justice and for taking to jail all the State murderers of 2019!
LET'S STAND UP TOGETHER WITH THE FEMALE WORKERS AND FARMERS OF ECUADOR! Who this 8th are marching to the cry of "Lasso, Resign!" and for all their unfinished demands, to finish what they started in 2019 and to defeat the whole regime servant of the IMF.

LET'S STAND UP ALONGSIDE THE MOTHERS OF ALL LATIN AMERICA! Who fight for the freedom of all their daughters and sons imprisoned in the jails of the regimes and the anti-worker governments servants of the US! FREEDOM TO ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS! JUSTICE FOR OUR MARTYRS!
This March 8 finds us working women facing hard struggles together with our class all over the world. In Latin America, a brutal offensive of the US imperialism, where its emissary, the female head of the Pentagon's Southern Command, has already announced that they want to take all the minerals of the region, such as lithium, gold, cooper, gas and oil.
They are coming for everything and this will not be done "peacefully", nor with "democracy". An example of this are the bloody coup that under the Fujimorista regime, with Dina Boluarte and that puppet congress, they are carrying out in Peru; the coups with the OAS that they carried out in Bolivia; the fascist putsches in Brazil; also it is evident how they are putting the countries of all Latin America under more chains with the IMF and a brutal plundering by means of the foreign debts. All this has multiplied the sufferings of the exploited people by the thousands and therefore the sufferings of the working women twice as much.
The governments of Petro in Colombia, Boric in Chile, Arce in Bolivia, the Fernandezes in Argentina and now Lula in Brazil, who pose as "democratic" and want to deceive the masses with empty-handed promises, are nothing more than the servants of Biden and Wall Street.
The trade union bureaucracies of all stripes in the region have surrendered our struggles and have submitted to the regimes, wanting to bring our class to its knees before them, as the CGTP is doing today with the coup-made government in Peru, and yesterday the COB negotiated with the coup-made Añez government in Bolivia. These unión bureaucracies and their deals are what guarantee that our struggles cannot unite the exploited working class as a whole and they divide us country by country, they tie our hands so we are not able to fight and they even prevent the workers' organizations from taking the demands of working women into their own hands as part of the struggle of the proletarians as a whole. That is why, as the comrades in Lima shout "Out with the traitors from our ranks!"

FOR AN INTERNATIONALIST COMBATIVE AND WORKING CLASS MARCH 8... LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER WITH THE PERUVIAN INSURGENCY! UNTIL DINA AND THE WHOLE FUJIMORISTA REGIME FALL!
Unfortunately, many socialist and worker currents have called for trusting the above mentioned bourgeois variants, and to vote for them against the "right". But it is clear that these cowardly and pro-imperialist bourgeoisies are not the allies of our class. An example is Lula's endorsement to the coup-made government of Dina Boluarte and how all these governments are the very same ones that pass the attacks commanded by the IMF.
Neither with make or female bourgeois nor with any "democratic" bourgeoisie or at the feet of these bourgeois institutions are we going to achieve our most heartfelt demands.

No trust in our class executioners! The working women and the exploited can only win our demands with the methods of the working class struggle, fighting against the treacherous trade union bureaucracies, which guarantee the triple exploitation of working women. These bureaucracies are the burden that prevents us from fighting against the governments and regimes that are servants of imperialism.
The road for the liberation of working women and the whole workers' movement is the one we are beginning to trace on the streets of Peru, there are our real allies to fight. If their struggle does not succeed, we will be far from winning our most heartfelt demands. The fate of the entire Latin American working class is at stake there today.

We already know what imperialism does in the regions it plunders, we have already seen them acting throughout the Maghreb and the Middle East, scorching the earth to steal its oil and all its minerals. We saw them perpetrate the greatest genocide in Syria, with Assad and the butcher Putin doing the dirty work for imperialism. We must put a stop to them in Peru: Out with imperialism in all of Latin America, out with the US bases there, out with the IMF!

IN PERU, IRAN, SYRIA...  OPEN THE ROAD TO THE WORKING WOMAN! THEY ARE IN THE FRONT LINE OF THE STRUGGLE AND RESISTANCE ALL OVER THE WORLD...

This March 8 huge mobilizations are being prepared all over the world because we, the exploited and oppressed, are not resigned and do not accept the humiliation and mockery to which this system condemns us and our children. Because we continue to fight for the liberation of working women from triple exploitation (in the factories, in our homes, where we do domestic work, and raising our children, the future labor force to be exploited by the bosses),  equal pay for equal work and against all oppression and violence engendered by the capitalist system. Because they still owe us such a basic demand as the power to choose over our own bodies, we continue to fight for legal, safe, free and quality abortion.
But it will not be in "sorority" with our oppressors that we will win our demands. The demands of working women will be won by the struggle in the streets! It will come hand in hand with the victory of the workers' and socialist revolution. And that is what we fight for on the streets, with the fighting methods of our class, against the imperialist parasites, the slave-owning bosses, the governments and regimes.

It is against them that we fight every day for bread, life, dignity, and freedom. Therefore, the demands of working women must be present in all struggle organizations of the working class.
Even if many social-imperialist, leftist, or feminist currents want to convince us that it is possible to reform this pestilent system and that we can win our demands and end our oppression within it, by putting pressure on its institutions such as parliament.

We continue to affirm with the Third International that: "as long as the domination of capital and private property exists, the liberation of women will not be possible (...) Not the formal, but the real equality of women is only possible under a regime where the woman of the working class is the owner of her instruments of production and distribution, taking part in their administration, and having the obligation of labor under the same conditions as all the members of the working society; in other words, this equality is only realizable after the destruction of the capitalist system and its replacement by communist economic forms" (3rd. Congress of the Third International 1921 - Theses on women).

That is why our struggle this March 8 must be together with the most advanced of the workers' movement which in the offensive or in resistance confronts imperialism and its regimes.
By fighting for their victory we will be much closer to winning our liberation from the triple chains of this rotting system. 

We fight to end all oppression of working women by fighting every day for the socialist revolution.
