A heroic resistance fighting by the miners in the Donbass slows the counter-revolutionary offensive of the Fascist forces of Kiev under the command of NATO
The true power of miners from Eastern Ukraine lies in the uprising of the workers in Western Ukrainian and Kiev (Kyiv) -the capital- who refused to fight against their class brothers and sisters and began to face the attacks of the Poroshenko Government
Now... in the Minsk Conference, Obama, Merkel, Hollande, Putin and Poroshenko together have agreed to disarm the masses in Donbas and prevent them from unifying the whole hardened Ukrainian working-class in a single combat
Down with the Minsk Pact!
The Great-Russian bourgeoisie attempts to disarm the heroic masses of the Donbas from inside
The struggle against the imperialist plunder, and also against their miserable wages of 150 Euros a month and the high cost of life unites the Ukrainian working class and pushes it to fight alongside its class sisters and brothers of Europe, in the first place with the Russian workers, super exploited and beaten with permanent devaluations by the anti labor Government of Putin
The brutal attack of the IMF, the EU and the Bundesbank puts in the order of the day the unity of the Ukrainian working class with workers from all over Europe. The demand is one and the same for all: down with imperialist Maastricht! Out with the IMF and the EU from the colonized Eastern Europe peoples! The crisis should be paid for by the 1% of imperialist parasites of Wall Street and the Bundesbank! |

For a Congress of delegates of Kievan and Donbas’ workers together
with delegates of the committees of rank and file soldiers and poor peasants!
In order to eat and to stop privatizations, wage reductions, layoffs and the spoliation of oppressed Ukraine...
In the same way that yesterday the workers acted against the Government of Yanukovich, agent of the IMF and Putin…
Today... we must defeat the Government of Poroshenko, break with the IMF and expropriate without compensation the imperialist bankers and the Ukrainian oligarchs -partners to the EU and the Great-Russian bourgeoisie!
For a labor emergency plan to get away from the disaster imposed by the native capitalists and imperialism! T
hey provoked the crisis, so they should pay for it!
In ' 89, imperialist demagoguery promised the workers from Eastern Europe they would earn the same wages as the West German workers, however today they have imposed worse wages than those earned by the workers of Congo, Bolivia, China, Middle East, etc. Workers from Ukraine and Eastern European should earn the same as and fight alongside the working class of imperialist Europe! Only thus they would be able to also regroup their forces to stop the attack of the bankers and their Governments that take from them all their conquests. Immediate wage increases according to a family shopping basket! For a minimum wage of 2500 Euros, this should be movable according to the inflation for everyone!
The capitalist restoration and the recolonization of Ukraine and the peoples of the East have transformed the working class in these countries in new nomads across the European continent, immigrants without future in an imperialist Europe of generalized layoffs…
Enough of layoffs! Enough of unemployment!
For a Public works plan! Reduction of working time without wage reduction! All free hands should go to production!
For the state-ization without compensation and under workers control of every mine and factory that shuts off or dismisses workers!
Not one single dollar more to pay for the fraudulent debt with the IMF! This debt was taken by the old Stalinist rubbish, today turned into a new bourgeoisie and oligarchy in Ukraine and Russia, monitored by the Citibank!
The business of Putin and Merkel around Gazprom is based on the looting of Russia, The Russian Federation and all the nations that constituted the former Warsaw Pact, in complicity with their Governments…
For the immediate seizure of all assets of the parasitic Ukrainian oligarchy which in ' 89, as heads of the Stalinist Communist party clique, stole the goods and the riches of the people and handed over the former worker States to Reagan, Thatcher and the Citibank!
For a United, Free and Independent Soviet Ukraine!
Out with NATO, UN, IMF and Merkel from Ukraine and the East European countries! Let's crush the fascist troops from Kiev, which are under their command!
Crimea is also Ukrainian! Obama and NATO handed it over to Putin, such as to please and reward him for acting as policeman of the revolutionary uprising of the masses in Ukraine and all oppressed peoples of the East!
Out with the Great Russian military base in Crimea! Out with the counter-revolutionary White troops of Putin, the gunman of NATO and partner of Citibank! He prepares to disarm and crush the Ukrainian revolution as soon as he closes a deal with imperialism to get a good business, as he did yesterday in Georgia, in Chechnya, in the Caucasus as a whole and in the Balkans
Come again the USSR of the Councils of workers, peasants and soldiers, this time relieved from the traitors of Stalinism, who handed over the revolution of October 1917 and the international socialist revolution!
Either Ukraine will be Soviet, Socialist and a bastion of European revolution... or it will be a colony!
The workers of the Donbass, despite suffering enormous casualties and the massacre against the civilian population, stopped the advance of the counter-revolutionary offensive of the Kievan military forces under the orders of NATO
Their great ally is the working class of Western Ukraine, which refused to fight against their class brothers and sisters in the East
A revolution is in the works in Ukraine. Imperialism has concentrated its forces and makes play to all of its agents to defeat it. The exploited in the Eastern regions don't give up and defend their jobs, their homes, their land and their family with their committees of workers and soldiers, putting in question the plans of the IMF. The Western Ukrainian exploited in Kiev, also face the IMF imposed plans of Poroshenko puppet government. The whip of capital tends to every step to unite the ranks of the proletariat of the entire Ukraine, faced the same enemy: the plans of looting and misery by the IMF, the World Bank and the EU.
Thousands of plans were launched by imperialism to bend the heroic resistance of the Donbass in Eastern Ukraine: massive bombing and massacre, siege by starvation and shortages. But none of this was enough. Heroically, the workers of the Donbas have slowed the counter-revolutionary offensive of Kiev’s military forces under the command of NATO, suffering huge casualties and massacre of civilians. They were not Russian troops, under the command of Putin the butcher, the protagonists of this battle. They have been the heroic working class of the Donbass and its miners, and the working class of Kiev.
In this battle, which prevented the occupation of the Donbas, the other main protagonist was the heroic resistance of the workers in the West who refused to fight against their class brothers and sisters in the Donbas and have disintegrated the army of Kiev. Thousands have passed together with their weapons to fight alongside the militias of miners, exploited and rank and file soldiers in the East.
In January the Government of Poroshenko launched a levy to recruit 50,000 soldiers, but failed miserably. More than 7500 Ukrainians face criminal charges for evading the military service. Mothers, daughters, girlfriends, and women of all Ukrainian men run to recruitment centers and surround them with the cry of "We will not go to a fratricidal war". Working-class women of Donetsk and Lugansk are in charge of denouncing the murderous colonels and generals of Kiev, insulting them and wanting to do justice for their dead sons and husbands, for the destruction of their land. The only forces that the Government in Kiev in Ukraine can rely on are the fascist militias as Aidar or gangs of outsiders and mercenaries against which the masses have already revolted in cities like Konstantinovka.
This shows that the fight of the masses from East and West Ukraine is one and a single one, for the same demands and against the same enemy.
That is why –and despite the leadership it has at its head which is trying to split it at every step – the Ukrainian working-class again and again struggles to unite its ranks.
In the Minsk negotiations, Putin has handed over the heroic resistance of the masses of the Donbas
The exploited in the Donbas stopped temporarily the offensive, but the bourgeoisie of East Ukraine and Putin handed that victory over to Poroshenko and imperialism in the Minsk negotiations.
The major point of this agreement was to divide the ranks of the Ukrainian exploited to impose the disarmament of the Donbass and implement the plans of the IMF in Kiev. Thus they opened a "demilitarized zone", splitting and tearing Ukraine, to prevent the imminent unity of the masses from East and West, which would have meant the beginning of the revolution in the entire nation, the only way to conquer bread, jobs, and wages.
The "demilitarized" zones of the Minsk agreement are nothing more than the new boundaries drawn by a counterrevolutionary plan by which Putin and the Great-Russian bourgeoisie are given the central work of disorganizing from the inside the revolutionary process of the Donbass. No doubt if they are able to impose it, the way to the colonization of Ukraine and the privatization of the mines and all the State companies will be at the order of the day. But they won’t be able to do so without snatching the weapons from the working class militias in the Donbas and defeating the workers in Kiev and the rest of Ukraine who have stand up in struggle against the plans of the IMF.
The bourgeoisie has an invaluable point to their favor: all leaderships of the world working class have conspired, encircling the resistance, and established a false confrontation between the masses of the Donbass and the Kievan masses so that they do not face with a single fist the plans of re-colonization and sacking of Ukraine. Nothing prevents the unity of the exploited from all over Ukraine except this huge conspiracy of the bourgeoisie and the betrayal of the leaderships of the world proletariat. These have left the leadership of the most heroic of the Ukrainian resistance, the miners in the Donbas, in the hands of Putin and the bourgeoisie of the East who are trying to depict the Eastern workers’ true allies, i.e., the workers in the West of Ukraine, as their enemies.
Putin is junior partner of Merkel in the gas business, both the Gazprom and the gas trade in Europe. Yesterday he supported Yanukovich and today manipulates the resistance of the working class to continue staying, somehow, in business.
Imperialism snatched from its hit man Putin the control of Ukraine, but in return for these services in the region, it left in Putin’s hands the peninsula and the pipeline of Crimea. The bloodied hands of the White troops of Great Russia must stay off Crimea! We don’t recognize any annexation rights to Putin the butcher!
The Great-Russian bourgeoisie and their peers and allies of the Donbas did not fight against the Kievan counter-revolutionary forces which are under the command of NATO and "democratic" Obama. The waste of European Stalinism are calling to crush the Fascist forces of Kiev by means of a front with Putin and the Great-Russian bourgeoisie and against the workers from the rest of Ukraine, under the guise of an "anti-fascist struggle".
Life has given its verdict. "Combative" Putin pulled out all his troops from the borders to prevent Russian rank and file soldiers from passing with their weapons -as some did- to fight alongside their class brothers and sisters of the Donbas, as soon as Crimea was sure in his pocket and his accounts were frozen at Citibank and the Bank of Cyprus. Thus, he proved to be a simple lackey and junior partner of the imperialist bankers.
What disorganized and prevented the formation of an army of 140,000 men, which would have crushed the rebellious Donbas in days or weeks, as we have said, was the working class of Kiev that did not appear to be recruited in the barracks and refused to take the gun to hold it against their brethren of the East.
The Ukrainian working class imposed a factual united front. What united them to their class siblings was the miserable 150 Euros as average salary earned by the Ukrainian workers who manage to have work and have not had to flee as slave immigrants to imperialist Europe.
We must now talk about clearly.
With the Pact of Minsk the Donbas is again encircled and the bourgeoisie in Kiev is given time so it can reset its counter-revolutionary forces, and the Great-Russian bourgeoisie disarm the miners’ movement.
There is no way to victory without the unity of the entire Ukrainian working class, which supports the same pro-IMF attack throughout its territory.
The Minsk agreement: a counter-revolutionary Pact between imperialism and its agents to disarm the masses and re-colonize Ukraine
The Minsk agreement was a real counter-revolutionary Pact led by Obama, who sat Merkel, Hollande, Putin and Poroshenko at the table of negotiations. It was not a "peace agreement", it was a Pact to prevent the unity of the exploited of the whole Ukraine from East to West who confront the plans of the IMF! This counter-revolutionary pact aims to prevent the unified exploited in Ukraine sweep away Poroshenko puppet government and defeat the plans of hunger of the IMF with the victory of the proletarian revolution.
Thus, they seek to submit the masses of the Donbass to the pro-Russian bourgeoisie, disarming them, to implement the plans of the IMF in the West. This Pact seeks to "integrate the militias to the new regular army” and the forefront of this plan is the pro-Russian bourgeoisie of the East, launching an ultimatum and threatening to declare "illegal" any militia who do not want to submit. Thus, with a divided Ukraine, with a false "autonomy" to the rebel areas, they seek to stabilize the region and ensure the re-colonization of the country.
Let's say the truth: Putin and the bourgeoisie of the East, which used the mobilization of the masses as small exchange for their business, today command this plan of disarmament agreed in Minsk and no doubt they will impose it with iron and fire. The Minsk agreement has exposed the farce of a "democratic" bourgeoisie in the East "facing" the fascist bourgeoisie in Kiev: they have sat down together to negotiate how best to submit the masses and disarm their militia to impose the IMF plans. Putin and the pro-Russian bourgeoisie in the East exerted only a beat-around-the-bush, a deceit, a conspiracy against the masses and empty handed demagogy, so the hated Poroshenko, the puppet of imperialism and NATO, can follow to pursue the plans of Obama and the EU against the masses, deepening the looting and subjecting Ukraine to imperialism -converted today into a true colony of IMF and NATO. Putin and the pro-Russian bourgeoisie have handed over the military victory of the Donbas’s masses in the Minsk Pact.
The bourgeois fractions of Kyiv linked to EU and the bourgeoisie of the Donbass seeking in a race against the clock to disassemble the revolutionary masses are the same Ukrainian Moguls and oligarchs who yesterday supported the Government of Putin-Yanukovych. They are now trying to come as partners of the complete colonization of Ukraine by U.S., NATO and the EU, or as partners of the Putin butcher. This is what their business is about. They are nothing more than the old hierarchy of Stalinism, the Gorbachev and Yeltsin’s cronies; the same who stole all the riches and key sectors of the Ukrainian economy in ' 89.
Nothing fills the Ukrainian and Great-Russian bourgeoisie of dread more than the armed workers, because the latter call into question the business and property of imperialism and the bourgeoisie not only in the West but in the entire Ukraine. Putin and his allies see that their heads may roll, if councils of workers and soldiers of the Don come together with their starved and dismissed Russian brothers and sisters who are in same or worse conditions than their brethren in Ukraine. The weapons must not be submitted! The militias will not be dissolved! Only the working class with its committees and its armed militias can guarantee bread for all the exploited in Ukraine! Only with the unity of the working class of the Donbass with the whole of the Ukrainian working class - which suffers misery, the scourge of emigration and the imperialist plundering of their nation - and fighting with the method of the proletarian revolution the Ukrainian exploited would be able to crush the fascists in Kiev, and get rid of the great Russian bourgeoisie that prevents them from fighting for their demands and succeed in the class war all over Ukraine; and their victory will only be attained through a successful revolution of the workers and poor peasants!
Only by joining their ranks workers in the East and the West can defeat imperialism and its puppet government in Kiev!
Conditions to forge the unity of the masses of Ukraine are not only at the order of the day, but they are an absolute necessity. Only the working class and its vanguard the Ukrainian mineworkers, putting themselves at the head of the masses, can find a breakthrough to Ukraine, strangled by an unpayable debt with the IMF, and achieve true unity and national independence.
Within the consciousness of the exploited in the Donbas lives the cry "We want the USSR to return!" because they know that the fate of their life, their jobs and their bread is linked by thousands of ties to Russia, due to the overlapping of both economies.
Revolutionary Trotskyists know that so that those links do not become chains, the USSR that must return is not the USSR of the Stalinist bureaucracy -jailer of Nations turned into a Russian bourgeoisie, the vendors of the worker States to imperialism and Citibank. Putin is responsible for dividing at each step the struggle of the exploited of the Donbass from that of the exploited of Kiev and uses the blood of the martyrs as currency for the business of Gazprom and the Citibank in Russia. The bourgeoisie of Great Russia was the first to sign the payment of the Ukrainian fraudulent debt with the IMF in a deal with imperialism, and at the hands of Yanukovich, download the entire weight of this agreement on the backs of the masses. A Ukraine independent from the EU, Maastricht and the NATO as well as from the oppression of Great Russia can only arise as a by-product of a great worker and socialist revolution. It would wake up all the Nations of Eurasia oppressed by the boot of Great Russia and the US, French, and English imperialists military bases, which have settled in all the former Soviet republics to plunder their riches and super exploit their working class. It would shake from Russia from its foundations, as the absolute majority of the Russian working class survives in conditions of absolute inequality and loss of their historical conquests, under Putin’s fierce dictatorship and the infamous regime of the new Russian oligarchy, junior partner of imperialism. Putin and the great Russian oligarchy do fear more the unity of the Ukrainian working class of the East and the West, and with the exploited in Russia, than they fear imperialism placed with NATO along Russian borders, encircling it.
Ukraine will be Soviet and Socialist... or it will be a colony!
For a united, free and independent Soviet Ukraine!
Without Poroshenko and his Kievan fascist army, without NATO and the United Nations, without Obama or the IMF, without Merkel and her lackey Putin...
FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT UNDER REVOLUTIONARY FORMS IN UKRAINE, THE NATIONS OF THE FORMER EASTERN BLOCK, RUSSIA AND ALL THE REPUBLICS OF THE FORMER USSR!
For Ukraine to be united, free and independent, it must be Soviet. The revolution of the Councils of workers and soldiers of the Donbass must succeed in Kiev, with the working class taking the political leadership of the war in the first place, expropriating the expropriators and breaking with imperialism to have bread, jobs, and decent wages. The restoration of the dictatorship of the proletariat under revolutionary forms in Ukraine would be a big step forward for making come again the revolutionary Soviet Union of Lenin and Trotsky. This is what all the left of Obama has convened to hide and that’s why they have set up a ring of silence and shame against the heroic fight of the East Ukrainian exploited. In the East and the West of Ukraine, the enemy is the same: imperialism; which starves slaughters and plunders the oppressed peoples! From the Donbas to Kiev, a same struggle against looters and exploiters!
The Kiev Parliament prepares to vote a law by which it is prohibited to use symbols from the former Soviet Union in the whole Ukrainian territory. It is clear that many of these symbols were used or left run by Putin in Ukraine to handle Eastern workers that do not accept to be submitted by the European imperialist banks. And we say only in Ukraine, since on May Day there was a mobilization of the Russian unions -that do not represent more than one 5% of the working class of that country- sponsored by Putin, which took very well care not to carry any red flag or claims of the working class. They only carried sky-blue flags to support Putin's party. Despite this, the demands of salary increases, against the high cost of life and the dismissals, were expressed in that mobilization, even when there were trade unions representing only the privileged layers and labor aristocracy of Great Russia.
Mining and heavy Industries from the Ukrainian East are intimately linked, in the division of labor, to the factories of the Russian military-industrial apparatus. The Soviet consciousness of the Ukrainian masses is based in that a submission to the EU and the IMF would mean a massive closure of mines and mass lay-offs... not only on the Ukrainian side but also on the Russian side.
For USA -the owner of the planet- stepping on Ukraine with NATO and so reaching the border with Russia is a key to be which makes high technology business to Russia's military industry, and not as happens until now, that France and Germany manage this business through their companies. In Ukraine, in the heat of the events of revolution and counter-revolution, the dispute is developed for who controls the process of semi-colonization the international financial capital need to make, including over Great Russia.
In their fights, the militias of the Donbass parade fist high. They use the flags of the former Soviet Union. This identification of the mining workers militias is because they assert themselves as Soviet Patriots. Already long ago laborers in the East of the continent are making a very rich experience: that full shelves in the super markets shown them by imperialism in ' 89 for them to consume weren't other thing than a lie and a deception, since the imperialist countries only offer them today being a slave worker and for Ukraine being subjected and ruined. And today they have been taken to living conditions worse than those they had when all the conquests of the USSR were vanishing at the hands of the Stalinist scourge restoring capitalism at accelerated pace. Even today the working class of the West already cannot consume, since Maastricht bankers have expropriated their wages, jobs, retirement savings and all their conquests.
Ukrainian revolution is a hinge one in Europe. For this reason there have emerged the contradictions driving to this huge civil class war and no lesser inter-imperialist clashes for the control of Ukraine in their race for the control the Great Russia. It is a hinge revolution because it puts at the order of the day the unity of the European working class against imperialist Maastricht and the struggle for the restoration of the dictatorship of the proletariat under revolutionary forms in the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.
Then, the enactment by the Parliament in Kiev of the law that forbids the use of symbols from the former Soviet Union is already an indication that the masses take it seriously, and that the miners of Ukraine do not accept the lay-offs planned by the IMF, or that the production is disassembled as well as the division of labor that exists with the Russian industrial apparatus. There, on the common border, Ukrainian workers also have their largest ally: the Russian workers exploited by Putin who also see as their own the uprising of their brothers and sisters in the Donbas.
In their demand "that the USSR comes again", the masses of the Donbass express the opposite of what Putin and the cynical great Russian bourgeoisie do, which in ' 89 handed over the October revolution to Citibank and imperialism, with the Stalinist bureaucrats becoming in new native oligarchies, so much in the great Russia as in all nations that it oppresses.
Pro-imperialist butcher Putin has nothing to do with the conquests of the October revolution in the former Soviet Union, as he is seeking only to keep his business with Merkel and Obama, staying with Crimea and the gas supplies to Europe. Neither has it to do with the former Soviet Union and the conquests of the ' 17 this coward great Russian bourgeoisie, genocidal towards the masses in the Caucasus and Chechnya, which gave all the technology of the Russian military industrial apparatus to German, French and American imperialism, and key sectors of the economy to the Citibank and the Krupp and BASF Groups of Germany; and whose funds are in the accounts of the imperialists banks.
For more efforts that Stalinism waste does in Europe, it won’t be able to return to deceive the world working class. As how can it defend and call to fight alongside the miners in the Donbass -which raise red flags and desire "that the USSR comes again "- when it supports the Pro-imperialist clique of the Castro brothers, the last bastion of Stalinism, that has handed over the Cuban revolution to Cargill and Coca Cola? The remains of European Stalinism are the 'left voice' of Putin, who tells "democratic" Obama "not to rely in the fascist gangs of Kiev", while he is, like yesterday with Yanukovich, willing to make the Ukrainian masses pay until the last dollar of foreign debt with the IMF. And the pulse of those remains of Stalinism won’t tremble in crushing and killing from inside the Donbas masses so that they disarm.
Ukraine threatens to be the spark - as also Greece for the imperialist Europe - that restarts the historic Soviet Revolution of the party of Lenin and Trotsky and the III International, which left unfinished the task of defeating the imperialist powers in Europe; that allowed Stalinism to isolate the USSR, and then -once defeated the world revolution- surrender it to imperialism.
In the former worker States there had been achieved huge gains that were delivered by Stalinism to the world capitalist system, becoming this doing in a new proprietor class, a new bourgeoisie plunging those achievements of the Socialist Revolution. It was not the working class of the former USSR which benefited in the handing over to imperialism but this coward new Great-Russian bourgeoisie, which established relations with the world economy, becoming in junior partner of Citibank and the German BASF in the sacking of Russian gas. Actually the Stalinist clique had already long been keeping those trade relations with imperialism.
Seeing the working class of the Block and Eurasia in a condition of plundering and destitution as the rest of the semi-colonial countries, and the Russian working class martyred and over-exploited by the counter-revolutionary boot of the Pro-imperialist Government of Putin amounts to definitely understanding the enormous historical importance which the developments in Ukraine have for the European and world revolution. The working class of that country and its fierce vanguard, the miners in the Donbass, craves to put the USSR again on foot. The way for this is the unity with the working class in Kiev and Europe, and Russia in particular.
It has been the unprecedented suffering of a torn and martyred working-class as the Ukrainian one; it has been the scourge of Capital which has pushed the masses to revolution and to defending their jobs that the EU and the IMF want to destroy. That has approached them to the "symbols of the USSR". The working class clings to its mines and steelworks, as outside them lays slavery, migration, and the precipice. The historic task proposed by the revolutionary Trotskyist who are continuity of the Fourth International, of fighting for the restoration of the dictatorship of the proletariat in the former worker States is, nothing more and nothing less than giving an immediate objective to any immediate uprising of the working class in countries where it had already expropriated imperialism historically.
The catastrophe of the world capitalist system and the Wall Street explosion of 2008 pushes the former launch huge offensives against all the world working class and even to lesser imperialist powers - such as Spain, Greece, Portugal and all of southern Europe, to which it has imposed true " Versailles treaties" and surrendering. These offensives of looting and enslavement against the world's masses have pushed and will continue pushing increasingly the working class of the former worker States to fight for regaining its old conquests. To do this it must settle accounts with the Stalinist rubbish that expropriated the socialist revolutions handing them over to the bourgeoisie and world imperialism.
In the fighting in Ukraine, like yesterday in the Caucasus, we see the first steps of a counter-offensive of masses by workers who, in the 20th century, conquered the first victories by expropriating the bourgeoisie. Neither Putin, nor the Ukrainian oligarchy, or traitors of the WSF, the Stranglers of the Socialist Revolution of the 21st century do not have, nor will have anything to do with it. The Ukrainian revolution has not said yet its last word.
As yesterday with the heroic Syrian revolution, the enemies of the Socialist Revolution, the left of Obama and Putin have... surrounded the heroic miners in the Donbass and all Ukrainian working class to close the road to the revolution
The international character of the worker revolution that has begun in Ukraine:
In Eastern and Western Europe, the same foe: reactionary EU of Maastricht
Give way to the European Socialist Revolution!
For the Socialist United States of Europe, from Portugal to the Russian steppes!
The IMF and the EU, Obama and Merkel, merge to plunder Ukraine. Putin and the Great Russian bourgeoisie do not want to lose their business.
The workers in Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Great Britain and all imperialist powers have been snatched enormous conquests together with the loss of wages and millions of jobs, and plans for permanent retrenchment.
In imperialist Europe of Maastricht, all the working class is "immigrant", united by the whip of Capital!
Maastricht and Wall Street will not stop until they turn all of Europe, from Portugal to the Russian steppes, into a large maquila of slave workers, and Nations becoming in colonies and protectorates, under the command of NATO and the imperialist powers that emerge victors in the trade war.
In imperialist Europe only it is saved from the attack on the working class a minority of worker aristocrats and bureaucrats, paid and corrupted with coins falling from the despoliation of the colonial and semi-colonial world.
Their social imperialist parties and Union bureaucracies have betrayed all decisive struggles which, from Portugal to Russia, since 2008, the European working class has starred. They have disorganized from inside the revolutionary offensive of the masses, as in Greece, in France, in the Spanish State... They have led to covenants and agreements with the exploiters the massive general strikes that shook Portugal and Belgium.
They are saving the bankers and managing openly the bad business of its financial capital, deepening the attack on the workers, as does Syriza in Greece and PODEMOS is preparing to do so under the orders of the corrupt Spanish monarchy.
In 2010, when the European working class was uprising, from the World Social Forum they closed the road to the general strike, because they are great defenders of imperialist Maastricht and the EU. The World Social Forum concealed the worst counter-revolutionary offensive of their imperialist regimes, which together with Obama, have massacred and martyred all the revolutionary processes of the Maghreb and the Middle East.
They want to disguise Putin as an ally of the workers and the oppressed peoples of the world, though he is the largest agent and partner of Merkel, the Citibank and the IMF, and the largest exploiter of the Russian working class and of the peoples that Great Russia oppresses. We have already seen Putin supporting Yanukovich, the largest agent of imperialism in Ukraine, as well as providing Bashar dog with weapons to make genocide in Syria and support the counter-revolutionary Zionist -fascist State of Israel which occupies the Palestinian nation, among other outrages.
Let's defeat the aristocracies and labor bureaucracies that prevent workers from all over Europe from unifying their revolutionary struggle!
From fighting Ukraine, from the rebel and armed Donbas, from the Greek working class and its rebellious youth vanguard, workers from Europe should unite their forces to confront the imperialist Governments and the governments of the new semi-colonies of the East!
In Ukraine a decisive match of all the European working class is played. Ukraine is a link that has dislocated itself from the imperialist US/ Maastricht domination, as the masses started a revolutionary offensive. A "Holy Alliance" has grouped at the Minsk Conference to prevent the unity of the Ukrainian working class and the standing up of the revolution of the councils of workers and soldiers.
The heroic resistance of the exploited of the Donbass must succeed with the revolt of the working class in the whole Europe, defeating the damned EU of Maastricht and NATO that today direct the military attack on the miners in the Donbass and subdue and exploit the working class across Europe, both East and West!
The battle of Ukraine is a decisive battle for the global working class and for Greece and across Europe in particular. There fights the advance of the resistance against the plans of hunger and misery of the IMF and the Europe of the Maastricht Treaty. The division imposed by the treacherous leadership has prevented by now the Ukrainian revolution from being a ram for the European revolution, and that has resulted very onerous to the working class.
In Greece, Spain, Italy, and even in Germany and Western Europe, the imperialist pirates are deepening their fierce attacks against the exploited. The German working class has already lost its 36-hours-a-week and has received as a "prize" a reduction of more than 25% of its salary. To the reactionary Union of Maastricht of the imperialist Pirates--that punishes the European exploited and plunders the semi-colonial world -, it is necessary to oppose the Revolutionary Unity of the working class, the only way to conquer the independence of the oppressed countries of Eastern Europe, to retrieve all the achievements that they are snatching from us in Western Europe like bread, jobs, decent wages, health and education that are the demands of all the exploited from Portugal to the Russian steppes.
So the working class lives and eats with dignity; to put an end to national oppression at the hands of the butcher Putin of Eastern Europe, Eurasia, the Caucasus, as well as with the national oppression of the Irish, Catalans and Basques from the British and Spanish Monarchies... we must expropriate the assets of the EU and Wall Street parasitic 1%! It is necessary to set up the revolution of the Councils of workers and soldiers from all over Europe! Let's retrieve the militant working-class internationalism! In the imperialist powers, the enemy is at home! In oppressed peoples, only the working class with the method of the revolution will succeed in their release!
Open the way to the European Socialist Revolution! For the Socialist United States of Europe, from Portugal to the Russian steppes!
A Ukraine sacked under the boot of NATO, the EU and the IMF would be a new base for counterrevolution in the region. On the contrary, a victorious revolutionary Ukraine would be a huge support for Eastern Europe today doubly colonized. Also for the exploited of bankrupt imperialist countries as Greece, which rise facing the same enemy: the reactionary EU and IMF that are unloading on them the entire weight of the crisis. The masses of the Donbas show the way to address the hunger plans of Maastricht and the IMF!
They must not go on fighting isolated one minute more!
From all labor organizations, it is necessary to vote: labor brigades to go and fight in the Donbas and unify the ranks of the working class of the entire Ukraine, to defeat the plans of the IMF in Kiev and the Government Poroshenko, puppet of Maastricht and Wall Street! Food, medicine and ammunition for the resistance!
