France - April 20th, 2018

On April 19 the working class of the public and private sector, the retired, the students and the combative youth return to take the streets and paralyzed the country in a huge day of National Strike and demonstrations ...
The workers and the exploited do not back down from their brave combat against the government of Macron and the regime of the V imperialist Republic ...

Down with the Khomri law of labor flexibilization and the university entry law!
Stop the attack on immigrants and refugees!

Those from above come for everything, we have to go for them all!
Out with Macron!

With the destruction of the V Imperialist Republic, we will conquer "The Commune"!
The communers of today are the revolutionary workers and students who already fight in the streets of Paris and all France

 

The General Revolutionary Strike is the way to open a new "French May"

Last April 19th, once again workers and combative youth have won the streets of France in a day of strikes, mobilizations, pickets and assemblies.

Various sectors mobilized against the attacks of the Macron government against the workers' conquests, against the Khomri Law (for labor flexibilization), the university entry law, and the attack on immigrants and refugees.

Cheminôts (railway workers), energy workers, education and health workers, as well as retirees, workers from private companies such as Air France and Carrefour, combative students and working youth have taken to the streets all over France in more than 130 mobilizations throughout the country. The students continue occupying 15 universities, in spite of the threats and the attacks of the police of Macron, that in the same April 19 took advantage of the situation of mobilization and strikes to evict the occupying of the Tolbiacuniversity in Paris. Even so, the combative students have declared that they will return to mobilize to recover the occupys and the combat.
Tens of thousands of workers have joined the strike called by the CGT, Solidaires and other unions. About 50,000 workers have been mobilized, from various sectors including some on vacation, and have not lowered their arms. They have won the streets of Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, Lille and all France to face the plans of French imperialism and the Macron government, which need to defeat the French working class and impose the conditions of the workers of the colonies and semi-colonies.
But at each step the government tries to deepen and settle the attack, it faces enormous combat responses from the working class and the exploited in France.
The workers present great battles at the height of the attack ... it is time to organize and conquer a GENERAL REVOLUTIONARY STRIKE that ends the government of Macron and the V imperialist Republic and resolutely open the way for a new "French May".

Long live the struggle of the working class and the French exploited!
For a internationalist and combative May 1st!
The spark of Paris must light all Europe! Down with the imperialist Maastricht!

The working class and combative youth have already shown in every opportunity that they have the predisposition and strength to fight. This May 1st must be a day of internationalist struggle of the French working class, which has been formed in the tradition of combat of the barricades of the Paris Commune, of the occupation of factories in 1936 in France...

This May Day must start hell for the imperialist exploiters and butchers of the V Republic and Macron government. A new "French May" must begin, like the one in 1968, which shakes the entire imperialist Europe from its foundations. It must return the France of the lower ones, the one of the workers, the one that held and supported the heroic battles of Algeria and the French colonies wich hit the plexus of French imperialism at the end of the Second World War.
It must be a May Day of battle, that punds the table and call to defeat French imperialism and all the imperialist powers that plunder and invade the semicolonial world, as well as the government of Macrón that supports the counterrevolutionary dictatorships of the Maghreb and the Middle East. A May 1st that presents battle to the hypocritical France, which says to be against Al Assad and Putin, when both were awarded with the medal of the "Legion of Honor".

 

We have to defeat the front of the "allies"!
They are the ones who have sustained for the massacre of Putin and Al Assad to the Syrian people for 7 years
They already invaded Syria in Raqa and DeirezZor, in Azzaz and Afrin, and with their military bases they kept country's oil and pipelines
They expect the dog Bashar and Russia to finish their dirty work to keep all the businesses of the martyred Syria
They are the leaders of Zionism that occupies the Palestinian nation
They are the terrorists! With their assassins, they are the true "axis of evil"!

England, France and the USA, supported by the imperialist Germany and Japan in their military adventures, they are the representatives of the 1% of parasites that enslave the workers and threaten to bring civilization to barbarism.

An essential task for the French workers is to defeat the imperialist front of Macron, Trump and May - together with European workers and internationally. That is the "anti-terrorist front", which organized self-attacks in Paris "at the hands of ISIS", which were - like yesterday with Bush and its Twin Towers - the smokescreen for the big bosses to attack the French working class yesterday by ripping him off the 36 hours of work per week and today with the labor flexibilization. This "front of the allies" holds the Zionist-Fascist state of Israel that has occupied the Palestinian nation. This is the one who holds for 7 years the saber of Al Assad and the Putin bombs, which have massacred the workers and the Syrian people by doing dirty work to all the imperialist powers.

We must fight to expel all the invading troops from Syria! That must be the first demand of French, European, USA and worldwide workers.

In Syria they want to punish all the workers of the world who rise up to defend their rights and demands.
French imperialism, its foreign legion and NATO are the real front of terrorists and the real "axis of evil" against all the oppressed peoples of the world.

The cry of "Out Yankees, English and French who share the looting and genocide against the Syrian people!" must be the battle cry today in the streets of Paris, as yesterday it was "Yankees Go Home" and "Out Yankees of Vietnam. "

That of the "allies" is the "axis of evil" that makes chemical and nuclear weapons. It is the one that arms to the teeth the governments and regimes that massacre and starve their people. Today in Syria, just like pirates and bandits, they have already settled with their military bases, from which - together with Turkey- they have taken over all the oil wells, pipelines and refineries of that nation.
This "axis of evil" of the "allies", attacking with previous warning to Damascus, announced to Al Assad and Putin that they will remain with the business of the reconstruction of Syria ... as it is to arm to the teeth Saudi Arabia so that massacres in Yemen.

The enemy is at home! In understanding this, life goes to the working class in France and in the others imperialist countries. It is enough to look at the plundering of the oppressed peoples, the massacres imposed on them by the imperialist butchers, to understand that they will do that and much more within their countries and with their working class to maintain their profits and parasitize at the expense of others' work. If imperialism defeats and crushes militarily the peoples it exploits and plunders, it will be a thousand times stronger to defeat the workers of France, Europe and the United States.

The enemy of the European and world working class are the assassins Al Assad and Putin who massacre the Syrian people!
The European and French working class, standing next to the Palestinian nation, the Egyptian people fighting against the fierce dictatorship of Al Sisi, the Yemeni people massacred by the Saudi clan and all the oppressed peoples of the Middle East massacred by imperialism and their lackeys!
The imperialist pirates are the terrorists!
Out the pirates of the V imperialist Republic of Libya, Mali, Chad and all Black Africa!
We must defeat the imperialist government of Macron! Our allies are the workers and the oppressed peoples of the world, a thousand times plundered by the imperialist gangs.

The union and political leaders of the working class, the Melenchon and the Martinez, are hanging on the front of the "allies". They are the representatives of the labor aristocracies and bureaucracies, enemies of the interests of the majority of workers. They live, as parasites, of the currencies that fall from the super profits obtained by the transnationals and bankers plundering the oppressed peoples.
For Melenchon, Martinez and the "anti-capitalists" of the word and renegades of socialism in the facts, all supporters of the Fifth Republic and the French transnationals, the enemy is not at home. Their allies are in the government and in the French bourgeoisie, which they accompany in their adventures in the colonial and semicolonial world.
This reformist left, with its deception and lie of the "fight against terrorism", has developed a brutal Islamophobia, which aims to convince the workers of the world that the Syrian revolution and the struggle of the oppressed peoples of the Middle East is the greatest enemy. To the latter, they who stigmatize as "jihadists" and "terrorists." They are the parties of the so-called "New Left", whose exponents Podemos (of the Spanish State) and Syriza (of Greece) have long since proved to be the leftist spokespersons of the imperialist Maastricht, to whom the pulse has not trembled to attack and betray the workers.

In the course of very hard battles against the exploiters
The French and European working class must recover its militant internationalism

The outcome of the current struggle of workers and youth on the streets of France depends decisively on the battles of the world working class, and of the Maghreb and the Middle East in particular. A strengthened imperialism, invading as in Mali, with its military bases in Chad stealing uranium and trafficking slaves from Libya, which has 5 military bases in Syria massacring, along with the Yankees, equal or worse than Al Assad ... will be a million times more difficult to defeat at home.

Life goes to the French working class not only to recover the militant internationalism, but also to break and separate from their organizations all the traitors of the aristocracy and workers' bureaucracy, of the trade unions and mass organizations, since they are tying the fate of the exploited in France to that of their executioners and their business in the world.
Already today, from the same CGT, the Solidaires and other unions are calling "days of struggle and mobilization" for this international day of workers, just as one more day ... We can not allow the same union leaders and bureaucracies that yesterday, in 2016, they sold the fight in defense of the 36 hours of work per week out at the negotiating table with the government, to make this opportunity "one more day of struggle".
What the French working class needs is that May Day become the day that "French May" begins, when the REVOLUTIONARY GENERAL STRIKE begins to show who is in charge in France: whether the imperialist murderous pirates or the workers and the youth rebel.

The struggle for a revolutionary and internationalist leadership of the French working class is the decisive task of the moment. The Trotskyists, who fought to recover our world party - the Fourth International - from the mud to which those who have long since renegade their program and their struggle, affirm that the heroic French working class does not have the lesdership it deserves.
There was no attack by the governments of the V Republic in recent years that was not responded  by mass actions of the working class and youth, as it does today against labor flexibilization, as yesterday against the attack at 36 hours of work weekly There was no lack of predisposition to the struggle of the workers. Whatwasleftweretreacherousleaderships.
The union bureaucracies, the "left fronts" and their so-called "anti-capitalists" are staunch supporters of the infamous regime of the Fifth French Republic. They want to make the workers believe that the regime of the Gaullist generals and the transnationals can be reformed, improved and placed at the service of the workers. Lie! For the French working class to live, Macron and the Fifth Imperialist Republic must fall!

The French working class has a huge opportunity ahead to defeat the Macron government and the imperialist regime. The only ones that do not measure up to this fight are the union bureaucracies, which divide the workers' struggles and prevent them from becoming centralized, as well as preventing the coordination of all the workers' and youth's workers' organizations, because they know that in those organisms of self-determination and direct democracy, the days of the traitors will be numbered. They know that workers' councils would fight for organizing the rank-and-file soldiers with them to prevent them from being cannon fodder from the military adventures of the French imperialist gangs.

The "anticapitalists" of the word and enemies of the socialist revolution in the events, in the "holidays" and anniversaries raise the reminders of the Paris Commune or the anniversary of the victory of the USSR in 1917. For them, the Worker and socialist revolution is something only to be remembered in anniversaries and not a course of action for the current triumph of the struggles of the working class that have begun today.

Is that those on top come by everything and we have to go for all of them. We have to set up the direct democracy organizations of those from below, of those who fight ... the workers, the students, the retired, the refugees, the immigrants, the women in struggle ... They are the majority of France. The only real democracy will not be achieved within the limits of the rotten French Republic, with its transnationals and murderous generals, but it will be conquered with the workers’ and soldiers' councils, with the victory of the socialist revolution.
French May and the Commune is already gaining strength.  The communers are already fighting. The traitors of the union bureaucracies and the left of the imperialist Maastricht only support the counterrevolutionary "Versailles" - which is in Frankfurt and in the EU - so that the workers do not end with them.

The powerful detachment of the French working class bursts into combat. In them and in their communers who fight today, as in the enormous struggles of the international working class, are the conditions and the strength to refound the international revolutionary movement.

Open the road to French May! Down with the imperialist Maastricht!
In their fight, the miners of the Donbass of Ukraine already shouted it ... "Let the USSR returns without traitor Stalinist bureaucrats that sold it out!"
For the Socialist United States of Europe, from Portugal to the Russian Steppes!

FOR A MAY 1st SOCIALIST, REVOLUTIONARY, OF THE WORKING CLASS AND INTERNATIONALIST!
FOR A MAY 1st OF THE COMMUNERS!
LET THE "COMMUNE" REVIVES!
OPEN THE ROAD TO THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST REVOLUTION!

As iteas declared by the Paris Commune of 1871, "all the workers of the world are honorable citizens of revolutionary Paris"
