May Day 2017

The martyrs of Chicago are dying today in the bloodied Syria

Syrian children sofocated by gas sarin

US bombings in Syria

Under Obama’s command; Al Assad, Putin and the bourgeoisies of Middle East, for years, have been doing the dirty work of imperialism in order to crush a heroic revolution in Syria and the entire Maghreb and Middle East.
With Minsk agreements; Obama and Putin, with Kyiv’s  fascist army, crushed the Ukrainian nation and isolated the miners of Donbass.
With Castro brothers, they sold our Cuba and the Latin American revolution to imperialism; and the US working class was delivered with its hands and feet bounded so its executioner, Obama, takes away all its gains in 8 years.
With the lie of a “social Europe”, the Social imperialist parties and the trade union bureaucracies sold out all the fights and gains of the European working class.

With the lies of making Putin and the Chinese Mandarins appear as allies to the subjugated people of the world, they submitted the Chinese and Russian working class to the worst conditions of misery and slavery.

May Day 2017

The US imperialist butchers, with Trump, show their gunboats
They come to take it all in order to keep their control of the world

After delivering hard blows to the revolution, they challenge their imperialist competitors like EU and Japan so they pay for the military expenses and be subordinated to its dominance of the world.
The imperialist Maastricht, attacking its own working class and plundering the peoples of Eastern Europe, is preparing itself for a vulture dispute of a world market that has shrank and is in crisis.

While they are in opened dispute of the spheres of influence and which imperialist power will win or lose in this world crisis, everyone need to escalate the attack on its own working class and the plunder of the subjugated people of the planet.

With the Geneva pact, they guaranteed Putin to launch the offensive of total extermination of the Syrian revolution.
With the fleet of the Pacific, USA disciplines Xi Jinping and the counterrevolutionary forces of the Chinese bourgeoisie to crush North Korea and take over the whole Korean peninsula for the transnational companies and imperialism.

The coward native bourgeoisies of the subjugated people like Al Assad in Syria, Kim Jong Un in North Korea (enslaver of its own working class) or Maduro in Venezuela (a serial payer of the foreign debt to IMF with the starvation of the people) are proposing to be the ones to keep attacking their own starving people, for a piece of the superprofits of imperialism.

 

May Day 2017

The imperialist bankers, the 1% of parasites,
BURDEN THEIR CRISIS ON THE WORLD WORKING CLASS AGAIN

As in 2008 with the banks of Wall Street and those of the imperialist cities of Europe and Japan, today a new round of the world crack hits and has sent BRICS to bankruptcy (Brazil, China, Russia, South Africa).
The world market is closed. The capitalists need to recover their profits when their banks are broke.
This rotten capitalism, if the socialist revolution doesn't stop it, will have only one way forward: war, arming and counterrevolution.

The labour aristocracy and bureaucracy and the social imperialist parties sell out the working class to their executioners and they unmake everything the working class and the exploited get in their ambushes against the fortress of power.

Now, the masses were taken to a hard resistance. The workers are far from surrendering; they were sold out by the treacherous leaderships.

 

May Day 2017

Huge fights of the world working class, big betrayals of their leaderships,
which are sold out to capital

No more reformism without reforms of impostors and traffickers of shams against the workers, of smoke sellers and those who sell out the struggle of the working class!
Open the road for those who fight!
To be able to succeed, we need to open the road for the internationalist unity of the working class and its fights.

Yesterday, the World Social Forum preached "socialism of the 21st century" and "market socialism"... and it was a huge sham. They enslaved the Chinese working class, they set the US flag in Havana and they sold out every revolutionary struggle for socialism of the world working class.
They claimed socialism was no more, not even in Cuba. And then they cry about the "backwardness in the mass consciousness" when they are the biggest factor that makes the working class step back in their fights. They are the enemies from within, the worst of the enemies.

Now, with the traffickers of illusions and repressors of the left wing of the world working class, such as Syriza and Podemos, like Maduro, the Iranian Ayatollahs, Morales and others, the so-called "New Left" rises. The "anti-capitalists" in words and servants of imperialism in facts couldn't stay away from it.
Now, all of them want to be different from yesterday's WSF, Stalinists and social democracy, which are squeezed lemons now, wiped out from history after they were used to betray the world revolution. But all of them have been recruited now by the big capital, under different names and shapes, so they can defend capital from the hatred and the struggle of the workers and the masses. They are the renegades of socialism that live from the leftovers of the exploitation of the working class and the subjugated people in the world.
They speak about a "convergence" between the gangs of Stalinism of the '30s and the Trotskyists and those who fight for the Fourth International, covering with dirt the clean banners left by the revolutionaries of the 20th century. They claim that without destroying the capitalist states with the proletarian revolution, a serious fight can take place against capitalism. They don't want to leave not a single trace of the socialist revolutions of the 20th century, with which we expropriated the capitalists a third of the world.
They are the gravediggers of socialism. The ones that sell out socialism, out from the ranks of the world working class!

The struggle for socialism and for May Day is for the victory of the socialist revolution.

There won't be food, national independence of the subjugated people, or minimum rights for the world working class without the victory of the proletarian revolution.

 

May Day 2017

For a working-cass, socialist, internationalist and revolutionary May Day!

Stop the war machine of the imperialist powers!
Let’s defeat US fleet in the Pacific which threatens with smashing North Korea,
with its lackeys of the red mandarins!

Before it's too late...
We need to break the siege now on the Syrian revolution!
Let's take to the streets of the world to stop the massacre of Al Assad and Putin, under Trump's command!
Open the road for the antiwar movement in USA! Let it take to the streets, as it did yesterday against the murderer Bush that invaded Iraq, but now against Putin and Al Assad that are under Trump's command!
Stop all the genodical counterrevolutionary forces of USA, Russia, Turkey and the dog Bashar that from Geneva have launched the operation extermination of the Syrian revolution!
As the last trench of the revolution in the tormented Syria falls, the conditions of massacre of Damascus, Alepo, Homs and Daraa will be generalized for the whole working class of Maghreb and Middle East and the world. In Syria, there is a chastise to the world working class and everyone who tries to rise for bread and justice. We can't allow this!

STOP AND DEFEAT THE US IMPERIALIST WAR MACHINE! END THE US FLEET IN THE PACIFIC, WHICH IS THREATENING WITH THE LACKEYS OF THE CHINESE MANDARINS TO SMASH NORTH KOREA!
US IMPERIALISM ONLY SEEKS TO COMPLETE THE RECOLONIZATION OF CHINA AND THE ENTIRE PACIFIC.
USA threatens with smashing North Korea with its lackeys of the slaver Chinese bourgeoisie, who subjugated themselves to Trump and his gang of counterrevolutionary butchers.
Imperialism wants, end China and Pacific re-colonialization, with the “red businessmen” of Chinese CP kneeled.

The working class in Japan once again must re-take the struggle for expelling the US bases from Okinawa and the entire Pacific and to defeat the notorious pact between USA and Japan.
The Chinese working class has in its hands the possibility of stopping the war machine that is coming to Korea peninsula to invade it and do Trump's dirty work, on behalf of the business deals with their American boss.
The fall of North Korea at the hands of the Chinese mandarins and the US fleet would mean exploitation, plundering, genocide and torment a million times worse than those under the rule of Kim Jong Un's monarchy in this tormented Korea. It would mean a new and higher attack of the workers of China under the counterrevolutionary control of the party of the "red businessmen".

The working class in north and south Korea should rise and unite into a single fight for a unified worker soviet socialist Korea. Out with the corrupt of the transnational companies of South Korea! No more murderous monarchy, traffickers of slaves of Kim!
Down with the counterrevolutionary fascist new Chinese bourgeoisie, an imperialist paid enslaver of hundreds of millions of workers!

For the unity of the working class in the Pacific, China and Korea! Fight again as in 1952 and kick out USA from China and the whole peninsula of Korea! Let the socialist revolution return!

 

 

May Day 2017

Break the siege on the revolutionary processes!

For the military defeat of Assad and the white counterrevolutionary troops of Putin the murderer!
US, Russian, Turkey and all the foreign troops Out of Syria!

Down with the Minsk and Geneva pacts, which put a fence on the revolutions of Ukraine and Syria! We need to raise again the war cry of "Let the USSR return, without Stalinist bureaucrats and without those who sell out socialism!"
For a single intifada from Egypt to Tunisia, from Morocco to Benghazi, from Damascus to Jerusalem!
For the destruction of the Zionist fascist state of Israel! For a revolutionary Syria of workers and peasants!

From Portugal to the Russian steppes, one single working class! Out with the labour bureaucracy and aristocracy from the mass organizations for the struggle and the unions! For the Socialist United States of Europe!

Open the road for the black working class, tormented in Africa, in the Mediterranean Sea and in USA!
The working class of the South American continent hasn't given up. One single class, one single struggle from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego!
The US working class still hasn't left the streets. The black workers and immigrants have started to wage battles against Trump's government. The white working class processes its experience...
Yesterday it was Obama the one that attacked it, with the support of the American and world left. He took away all of its gains: the health insurance, the wages, their jobs and houses. Shameless as Sanders promised paradise. But they ended up taking their illusions to the US Democratic Party, the biggest anti-workers of USA.
Now, here comes Trump to complete the task in removing all the gains of the world working class and enslave it into sweat shops, even worse than the Chinese workers. The capital whip will end up uniting the working class. The struggles for a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour will unite all the layers of the exploited of USA so the war cry of "let's expropriate the 1%, let's burn down Wall Street!".
Open the road for the US working class! It has the key to victory. Yesterday, it had the martyrs of Chicago and is the one preventing more massacres of the imperialist butchers in the planet.
There will be no way out for the exploited of USA without the victory of the socialist revolution... for the Socialist United States of Centre, North and South America!

Those who sell out socialism will make "internationalist" rallies on May Day. They try to wash their dirty clothes of their sellouts, betrayals and divisions imposed on the world working class and its every day fight.

Re-group the forces and internationally unite the exploited into a single struggle!
Time for militant internationalism in the world working class has come!

Open the road for the Fourth International!

For the working class to live and eat, we must destroy the dictatorship of the capitalists... Imperialism must die!
An iron alternative: either socialist revolution or fascism and imperialist war.

Collective for the Fourth International

May Day 2017 Freedom to all the Palestinian and Egyptian prisoners, the Greek Anarchists, Alfon and Basque prisoners! Acquittal of the oil workers of Las Heras (Argentina)! Freedom to the world political prisoners!

 

We must regroup the forces and unite the exploited internationally in a single struggle! The time of militant internationalism in the world working class has arrived! The internationalist Trotskyists of FLTI fight to re-found the Fourth International. We affirm that the program, theory and strategy of the Fourth International passed the test of history; but the "Trotskyists" did not. It has been a while since they sold themselves, handed over their program and moved to the field of reformism, adapting to the bourgeois regime. They claim to be anti-capitalists, but they refuse to fight for the destruction of the bourgeois state. They say they fight for the demands of the working class, without fighting for the socialist revolution as a present task. They affirm that the working class can raise their standard of living under this rotten decadent capitalist system. They show the working class a flourishing capitalism when it is already decrepit and senile, and it survives with wars, fascism and destroying the planet. Renegades of Trotskyism long ago took Stalinism up in their shoulders. The latter had surrendered the USSR, China and the workers' states. So the renegades of Trotskyism legitimized Stalinism to play one more time its full counterrevolutionary role leading trade unions and the mass worker organizations.   The Trotskyists of FLTI know that our party, the Fourth International, was dragged into the ranks of the enemies of the working class; just as Stalinism did with the Third International yesterday. The crisis of leadership of the working class has deepened. It is a part of reality, and the one that still predominates and stains with an enormous crisis to the world working class. Against the working movement and within it institutions, parties and bureaucracies are risen that work for their class enemy. But we revolutionaries also know that hundreds of thousands of young revolutionary workers in the world need and yearn to conquer the international unity of their struggles. We all took to the streets for the freedom of Palestinian and world prisoners. Large sectors of conscious workers and young people have taken as ours the struggle of the workers and the Syrian people and their revolution. In Black Africa we demand trial and punishment from the murderers of the Marikana miners and the Congo massacre. We oppose the massacre of Saudi Arabia, on behalf of Anglo-American imperialism, on the Yemeni nation. We condemn the imperialist policy of provoking fratricidal wars between the Arab and Muslim masses in the Middle East, between Shiites and Sunnis, so that slaves are killed among themselves and then rob the wealth of the region. Millions yearned for a single Intifada from Morocco and Tunisia to Jerusalem. From Europe, hundreds of thousands took care of the tormented Syrian refugees. We took as our own the revolutionary movement of the “indignados” (outraged) against their impostors of Podemos. In the fighting to defend the 35-hour workweek in France, against the CGT union bureaucracy, thousands of us shouted "we hate the police!" We dared to hang in the Republic Square the poster of the Paris Commune. Yesterday there were still in Spain graffitis of the true indignados and their revolutionary uprising: "Immigrants: you are the sea of Madrid". In Paris we can still hear the war cry of "Every night we will make of Paris a Baghdad". From Portugal to Greece, from Madrid to Berlin, a single general strike! There is still a cry of the Romanian workers of the Renault of "We want to earn as much as you do, workers of Paris; but if we lose, you will lose too." The mining movement that revolted at the war cry of "Let the USSR return!" is still alive and resists in Donbass (Ukraine). The workers of Eastern Europe and Russia in '89 saw full gondolas of imperialist Europe. Today, they have them emptier than ever in their colonized countries. With Putin's boot on his head, they no longer even collect their salary. Today both the old generation of Pacific revolutionary workers and the new socialist rebel youth in the region, feel in their flesh and bones the experience of their victory in Vietnam and throughout Indochina against US imperialism. It is still remembered the brutal beating by Chinese and Korean workers in 1952 to General Mc Arthur's US troops on the Korean peninsula, which Stalinism stopped at the 38th parallel handing over South Korea to imperialism. In the United States people still remember that workers under arms refused to keep fighting in Korea, Vietnam... The great struggle against US invasion, from England and Spain to Iraq, still lives in the consciousness of the American and European working class. The anti-war movement of Europe and the United States is what still prevents imperialism from intervening militarily and directly in large-scale actions against oppressed peoples. Militant internationalism of the workers of the world emerges as an imperious necessity of their most minimal and immediate struggles, in spite of and against the treacherous leaderships that subject the working class to their own bourgeoisies. In the Latin American subcontinent, hundreds of thousands workers and youths wonder why their anti-imperialist struggle was contained and begin to identify the Bolivarian revolution as a scam to the socialist revolution, made up of bourgeois charlatans and Stalinist traitors. In the United States, militant internationalism in the anti-war movement begins to gain the streets again. They resist Trump's wall. Because among the American working class there are also black and latin workers... In the US, the same working class! In every serious battle workers seek to join their ranks internationally. Reformism, Stalinism and the renegades of Trotskyism, together with corrupt union bureaucracies, are the determining factor that prevents the unity of the working class internationally. This unit would turn its struggles a million times stronger against capital that centralizes its businesses and its attacks and the counterrevolutionary paid leaderships all over the world. From the FLTI we struggle to establish a supporting point to unify the struggles of the working class at an international level of those who call to break with the bourgeoisie and expropriate capitalists; those who call to break the siege of revolutionary processes; if those who do not want to live in this capitalist society with the lie of "real democracy" when it actually means cutting of wages, losing conquest, greater slavery and surrender of oppressed peoples. A new generation arises already under conditions of war, crash and revolutions. There, militant internationalism will reemerge. All our strength lies in it. That is the way to re-found the Fourth International. Putting up militant internationalism will bring the program of socialist revolution back to the world working class. By defeating those who speak in the name of socialism before the masses, the revolutionaries will return to lead the revolutions to victory. This will be a collective task for millions of exploited people and not for small circles of scholars. The program of the Fourth International has been written in the blood of the socialist revolution for millions to be taken to victory. Collective for the Fourth International
