While the workers and exploited are rising against hunger, the bandit cave of the Parliament want us to be glad about the 10% pension savings of the people withdrawal, when it is us the ones paying the crisis... We don’t surrender our fight in exchange of any miserable crumb!
Those on the top stole too much from us...
Now we want it all!
Out with Piñera! Down with the 1980 Constitution regime!
Revolutionary General Strike to get everybody out!
The bloody government of Piñera has burdened the brutal attack of imperialism and the bourgeoisie on the working class, the rebel youth and the poor, which are going through unprecedented sufferings nowadays, with generalized hunger, mass retrenchments, hundreds of thousands of infected and over 11 thousand dead due to COVID-19, the military on the streets and the jails full of political prisoners among others. We are facing a true revenge of the exploiters against the masses that rose in October.
Piñera’s government asked for a millionaire loan to the IMF and gave millions to the transnational companies and to the bosses in subsidies. Meanwhile, they give the masses miserable bonuses and boxes of goods that are a mockery on the exploited. In spite of this, the workers of the territorial assemblies or directly have set up common kitchens along the country to pave away the hunger imposed by the government.
Now, the politicians of this damn regime pose as “democratic” and one chamber of the parliament approved a bill to withdraw the 10% of the funds each worker has in the AFP for their retirement in advance. They claim the right of what to do with our money for their own, when the AFP are in hands of groups and international banks, making huge profits at the expense of the workers’ hard work. The CUT bureaucracy and the Social Unity table controlled by the CP, the Frente Amplio (Broad Front) and all their sidekicks, want to present this to us as a huge victory, when workers and exploited keep putting everything from our pocket and paying the costs of the economic and health crisis, and the capitalists get subsidies from the state. Indeed, the other bill to create a solidarity fund in which the state and the bosses should be the ones repaying that 10% that is removed from the workers pensions was obviously voted against in the representatives chamber!
This is the same bandit cave that in April voted the “law of job protection” which meant around 1,300,000 dismissed and hundreds of thousands of workers living from the miserable unemployment insurance that will end soon. They are the same politicians that signed the “pact for the new constitution” that called for the referendum that was supposed to take place in April, thus saving Piñera who was hanging from a thread and about to fall due to the mass revolutionary fight. They are the same ones that are discussing the “update of the intelligence services” so the murderous state has better tools to chase and harass the fighters of future combats. Now, all of them and the treacherous bureaucrats are telling us we have an ally in the parliament to fight for our demands. They want us to fell that the 10% AFP withdrawal is good enough for us, when the workers and the people said “enough is enough” and came out to fight for our dignity last October. Crumbs are not enough for us! Those from below should have the funds that the exploiters are forced to give us, but we want the 10% of our pension funds to be repaid by the capitalists and their state! We want it all, because they stole too much from us, and everything belongs to us! The way to get it is to take the revolution we started all the way.
This is the way that the workers and exploited seek to re-take at each step, as it was seen in the day of struggle on July 15, where the barricade fighting and the fire of the revolution returned in tens of workers neighborhoods, which were suppressed and harassed by the acting of the murderous police and the military. Today, July 21, there were demonstrations once again in some cities of the country against the government and against the pension system, such as Valdivia, Punta Arenas, Coquimbo, among others. In Valdivia the cry “Piñera murderer just as Pinochet!” was heard again. This is the way forward that the miners, dock workers and the entire working class wants to walk, despite and against the trade union bureaucracies. Once again, the Dock Workers Union calls for a strike tomorrow, starting 10am, demanding the law to be voted in the senate. But the workers and the exploited want to put an end to the AFP and recover everything that was stolen from us. For that, let the factory committees and assemblies return, so we can prepare the way to the revolutionary general strike now, taking all necesary health precautions. Let the Dock Workers Union, the Federation of Copper Workers and other worker organizations that claimed to support the masses’ demands put all their forces to organize it and guarantee it!
Let’s take the solution of the crisis into our own hands!
Revolutionary general strike now, to complete what we started in October!
Out with Piñera! Down with the 1980’s Constitution regime!
No more AFP! Expropriation without compensation and place under workers control all the natural resources! There are the funds to get all our demands, starting for decent wages and pensions for all of us!
This is the way forward to impose a decent quarantine for the entire workers movement, with 100% wages, to get bread, decent health care, free education and recover everything that was stolen from us!
Down with the state of siege and the curfew! Get the Pinochesita army out of the streets!
For self-defense committees to defend ourselves against the murderous state’s repression!
Free the more than 2,500 political prisoners!
Our allies are not in that Parliament of Wall Street lackeys. Our best allies are the black people, the working class and the rebel youth in USA, which in the guts of the imperialist beast does not leave the streets, fighting against the government of Trump, Piñera’s boss, and the pirates of Wall Street, the ones that plunder the wealth of Chile. One single class, one single struggle!
