Chile - March 08, 2020
While more than a million of us took to the streets in the
International Day of Working Women…
The reformist left, social democrats and Stalinists
want to pull the masses into the plebiscite trap
that comes to save Piñera and the Pinochetista regime
Either the "Approve" or the "Rejection" vote win in April, Piñera and the Pinochetista generals always win. They will keep all their power that they lost on the streets.
Months of clashes with the murderous pacos have resulted in thousands of people imprisoned, mutilated, murdered, raped.
After 5 months of heroic mass combat, pickets, barricades, work stoppages, the union bureaucracy calls for a new strike, one negotiated with the regime. Their proposal is a strike to support the "Approval" in an undemocratic and cheating plebiscite.
There is a great predisposition of the masses to fight.
The national strike of 03/09 should be the beginning of the fight for the boycott of the fraudulent plebiscite by the masses, in order to throw Piñera and conquer the defeat of the Pinochetista regime, its murderous generals and pacos!
That is the way to conquer a truly free, sovereign and democratic Constituent Assembly.
The garbage parliamentarianist left affirms that there is only one option: “Accompanying the masses in their experience, in transit to the Piñera plebiscite!”
It's a Lie. The masses only want to throw away Piñera and the regime that gives copper to transnational corporations, the land to oligarchs, the ports to the same monopolies that steal the copper. The people who woke up want free and unrestricted education, decent work, an end to slavery.
That's a Lie. The concertation and the small neo-Stalinist and ex-Trotskyist groups are the ones that are leading the people into the plebiscite trap! Don't lie any more! No one follows Piñera! Not even his children.
Now, with the plebiscite, the streets have been cleared for the fascists to win them to campaign for the "Rejection."
It is the deals and Concertaciones that open the doors of the zoo on the right for the fascists to come out.
The people want free education for the workers' children. Copper for Chileans. Health, decent retirement and wages; work for everyone and the end of the slave labor regime.
The people want bread, education, work and freedom!
Nobody must leave the streets!
Let not the traitors put us to sleep again!
Without delay, from the factories, schools, towns, let's set up workers and popular committees for the boycott of the fraudulent plebiscite of Piñera and the Pinochetista generals! Everyone of them must go away!
To defeat fascism that seeks to take to the streets:
Revolutionary constituent!
Set up the first line to the factories, schools, ports and mines of Chile. Self-defense must be coordinated throughout the country!
From the grassroots a National Workers, Peasants and Students Congress must be imposed!
Private soldiers must be called and organized into grievance committees in every barracks to paralyze the regime's killing machine!
It's time! The time has come to bring the power of those below to stand up.
The ones above stole everything from us; now let's go for all of them!
Revolutionary general strike until Piñera falls!
Let's boycott the referendum plebiscite of the Concertacion and the Pinochetista generals!
Chile will be a socialist country or it will lie down as a Wall Street colony!
In the photo, the people who jumped the pinwheels will not go back ... and they shout it: "Piñera, a murderer just like Pinochet!".
