The 1147 exploited were killed by the boss and government of Bangladesh!

Against the unprecedented sufferings imposed by the slavery TNCs’ greed!
The working class is fighting back!

On April 24 a textile factory in Bangladesh collapsed where inside several textile factories manufactured for the imperialist multinationals. It killed over 1147 exploited. After this, in the city Ashulia, near the capital thousands of workers took the streets to fight for high salaries. They demand their wages increase to 102 dollars when they actually earn only 38 dollars per month. They have confronted the brutal police repression using Molotov, sticks, and stones. The repression was commanded by the government of the Awami League’s TNCs where 30 workers were injured.

The fights have started in the factories confronting directly the TNCs’ bosses, thus, the boss shut 200 factories in Ashulia to lessen the struggle’s power. Confronting this boss politic, 7000 workers walkout and blockaded the central highway of the country, and there, they confronted the police.  Facing the Bangladeshi exploited’s fight, the managers and government of the TNCs said they will give an increase in salaries to be earned in three months’ time. For that, they created a commission to discuss how the increasing will be, and the survivors of the collapsed factory on April 24 who have been left disabled will continue receiving a minimal wage for some miserable months. The imperialist killers like H&M, Walmart, El Corte Inglés, Mango, Primark, Benetton, Bon Marche,  Joe Fresh among many of the big brands exploiting workers in Bangladesh, benefit at expense of exploited workers taking 19 billion Euros per year and shamelessly they promise a salary increase in three months’ time! Salary increase right now! For the Bangladeshi workers to have a salary similar to the best paid textile worker in the imperialist Europe! For the disabled workers and families killed in the collapsed on April 24 to receive a life wage similar to a salary of an average worker! The imperialist boss must put the money they steal us, the Bangladeshi workers, every day!

As part of the boss and government’s plan to stop the exploited’s fight from advancing along the Asian country, they are promoting a law that Parliament is working on it to allow garment workers to form trade unions per factory without permission from the factory’s owners. This isn’t a concession on the part of bosses! The bosses are trying to divide workers factory by factory and divert them from the unified political struggle in the streets where employed and unemployed workers are unified.

Bosses saw how controlling workers factory by factory via the union bureaucracy and their gangsters, the worker movement was totally submitted and if any worker dares to raise his voice, they would cut his head. The bosses Hands off the Bangladeshi workers’ fight! Workers get organized as we want!  We must set up factory committees where employed and unemployed workers can get unified and we can get coordinated at national level! Defeat the union bureaucracy so that they run away together with bosses who pay them every day to surrender our fight! Bosses haven’t hesitated in using their murderous police and gangsters inside the factories to defeat our struggle and terrify us. We defended ourselves as we could using sticks, stones and molotov but it wasn’t enough. We must organize our defense. Set up a united self-defense committee at national level for none worker to suffer the bosses’ terror!

The government has arrested the owner of the collapsed factory together with another three textile bosses for “not fulfill” the safety standards. But all the responsible people are free. First the imperialist bosses, second, all the civil servants together with all the owners and the murderous repressive forces of the State, killers of workers.  
Worker and popular Tribunals to judge and punish the responsible ones for over 1700 workers killed by the boss and State!

The Bangladeshi workers are submitted every day to the worst sufferings on the part of the parasitic imperialist boss. Millions of workers live in crowded tiny rooms where several workers sleep piled up without electricity or any hygiene condition.
The children from 6 years on are exploited and can only go out to play when the factory electricity shut off.

Women are victims of rapes on the part of bosses and managers every day. Many workers have died electrocuted in their workplaces among the skein of the sewing machines’ wires all along the factory floors where thousands crowded workers are producing.

Thousands have died in Bangladesh due to this parasitic system of bosses. Imperialist bosses are only interested in their profits! They have transferred the production to this country for thousands of slaves to generate millions in profits! THIS IS THE “CIVILIZATION” IMPERIALISM TAKES TO THE “BARBARIANS” OF THE EAST! SAVAGE EXPLOITATION ON THE PART OF A SYSTEM THAT SURVIVES AT EXPENSE OF THE WORK OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SLAVES! DEATH TO THE PARASITIC IMPERIALISM!

The imperialism’s effrontery is only possible because the Social imperialism sustains him every day

Imperialism has made an agreement among the textile multinationals to invest the next 5 years 3000 millions of dollars in security and maintenance of factories. The inspections will be carried out by government’s inspectors. It’s a joke since the government and his civil servants are the owners of all the buildings where the multinationals are functioning.

On their part, the US companies have not meddled in this agreement saying that they already applied it on their side. To apply this, Obama and Wallmart already have the support of the ALF-CIO. Our safety will not be guaranteed by these bosses: bloodsuckers, exploiters, and killers. The safety will be guaranteed by workers through our factory committees.

For all the factories can be in conditions where none child has to work and can study and enjoy themselves as the only right and duty. For all the free hands can enter production with a salary at the level of the cost of living by reducing the labor shift.
To guarantee the exploited women’s demands of nursery, public restaurants and laundries of the best quality paid by the state and bosses: expel the TNCs from Bangladesh!
 The clothes worn by “the educated men” of the London City, the managers of Wall Street, the German magnates of steel, the parasite King Juan Carlos and the entire imperialist Spanish bourgeoisie and the “refined and delicate” French bourgeoisie are stained with blood of the women and children of Bangladesh and the entire Asian Southeast!
Expropriate all the TNCs of Bangladesh without payment and under worker control!

This is the system to which all the social imperialist leaderships and their parrots in the semi colonial world called and ARE CALLING to reform: THE SYSTEM OF MILLIONS OF EXPLOITED DYING UNDER THE RUBBLES AND FLAMES IN FACTORIES, TRUE JAILS, WHERE THEY ARE EXPLOITED 15 HOURS EVERY DAY CROWDED IN HOUSES WITHOUT ELECTRICITY WITH WAGES OF 28 U$S PER MONTH IF HE IS “LUCKY” OF HAVING A JOB. SO ONE CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE THE ONGOING SITUATION OF THE MILLIONS OF UNEMPLOYED WORKERS! BOSSES MUST GO TO WORK INSTEAD OF THE 6-AGE-CHILDREN WHO CAN ONLY GO OUT TO PLAY WHEN THE FACTORY ELECTRICITY SHUT OFF!

If the working class of the imperialist countries want to defend their salary, work, housing, and recover what the finance capital has stolen to them to lessen his crisis, they must tie their fate to the exploited in the semi colonial countries, defend their demands and confront side by side them the same TNCs!

In the WSF of Tunisia, the bourgeois, lackeys of imperialism were honored: Chavez and Khadafy. There was not a single representative of the Bangladeshi workers, neither a representative of the Chinese masses, nor the militias of Libya, nor a single revolutionary worker of Syria. This WSF of the labor aristocracy and bureaucracy sustainers of the imperialism and international bourgeoisie is not a tool of liberation of the world proletariat but they are the gravediggers of the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat. The World Social Forum: hands off!

The world working class needs a new international leadership to lead the working class’ struggle to the victory.
The international working class needs to refound the IV International, the world party of the socialist revolution!
For the working class to live, imperialism must die by the proletarian revolution!
