The second opportunity of the masses of Middle East to conquer bread
The current uprisings in Tunisia, Jordan, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Sudan cannot be isolated!

The workers of the world see with hope the new uprisings for bread that are moving the hell out of the imperialist bourgeoisie and their lackeys in France, Iran, Sudan, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Tunisia once again. It is fresh air for the heroic Syrian masses that resist despite all the betrayals, bombs, massacres and starvation. Their allies are rising!

In Tunisia, the workers are rising again for bread and almost in the same date that in 2011. Misery, lack of work and the corruption of that country in the African Maghreb led a worker to set himself on fire once again. The one that once wrote “The permanent revolution” is a genius! This time, we could say it is not only permanent, but redundant, because those are the same causes, the same reasons, the same methodology of protest. It is the dream of that who tried and didn’t succeed to have another chance to act in a better way before the situation that couldn’t solve in the past! Today this is Tunisia… but also Iran and France.

There are Americans that claim to be leftist and say out loud that “in Sudan the people are motivated by hunger but freedom keep them on the streets”… as if it were a “democratic revolution” only. Once again they hide the true character of the revolution that started and they say the struggle is only for democracy. They are like the “New Left”… they all have the old manual. They want to stain with slanders and blood the workers that today are rising against this system, which can only bring more and more death while taking advantage and getting huge profits from war. We cannot let this happen!

The revolution is still alive in every corner where the workers and the exploited fight not to die out of hunger. It is fundamental to confront and expose the fence that this “New Left” imposed on the Syrian revolution, for the masses of the world not to fall in that same trap set by this left. The exploited that are rising today all across Middle East cannot be isolated as the Syrian revolution was! To get rid of the oppressors is a task of the workers of the world, but it is up to the revolutionary socialists to contribute for first getting rid of those betraying the workers.
