Confronting the repressive forces of the Shiite and Sunni paramilitary gangs…
Workers and youth do not leave the streets
Free all political prisoners!
Decent work and wages for all!
Iraqi workers live in unprecedented hardships of unemployment, high cost of living, lack of infrastructure, young people see no future, in a country that has one of the largest reserves of black gold under its feet. That is why they began an uprising in August 2019 that has not ended yet. The masses do not leave the streets.
Even so, the massacre and punishment weigh on the oppressed throughout the region, who have been fighting tough battles against starving regimes. But in their offensive, for fear of ending up suffering an extermination similar to that carried out by Bashar and Putin in Syria, they have not advanced to generalized armament.
This means that the masses cannot provide a revolutionary solution by taking power, but neither can the different bourgeois fractions consolidate a stable capitalist state.
The exploiters, under the command of the Pentagon and the "7 sisters", seek to stop the masses. They have launched a fierce repression against the workers and youth who led the revolutionary struggle. Thus, a wave of arrests of activists have been carried out, persecuted from house to house, when they are not directly killed by death squads. The demonstrations that had been taking place were repressed with gunfire.
It is an attack against the revolution carried on by the fascist gangs organized by the oil companies and the different bourgeois fractions that were left to support the looting of the Iraqi protectorate. The latter was driven to barbarism by imperialism, with a state in decline and a semi-disintegrated split nation.
On the other hand, US imperialism also sends government figures such as the new Prime Minister Kadhimi to "condemn the violence" and say that they will "open investigations" into the murders, while promising new elections. Though, it is a hoax to lull the masses while the repressors strike with their repressive forces.
At the same time, the generals of the Iraqi army are sending the soldiers in their uniforms to participate in the mobilizations, arguing that they do it to "protect the people", but when the police shoot, their rifles have nothing but salvos, showing that they are only looking to legitimize themselves for the moment when they really have to act, it will be against the people.
Since 2019, the battles of the masses have overthrown every individual the bourgeoisie tried to hold up in order to curb discontent and remove the exploited from the streets and the political scene. But without these battles succeeding with the seizure of power, little by little the situation has gotten worse. However, the exploited do not leave the streets and are bidding a thousand times for better living conditions.
That is why today more than ever we hold:
Freedom to all political prisoners! Let's stop the repression! Let's form workers' and popular militia to confront the mercenary gangs of the oil companies and the big US imperialist bourgeoisie! We must advance in the dissolution of the murderous police and all the forces of repression and crush the death squads and police and vigilante gangs! Disarmament of the Iraqi puppet army, US puppet!
Let the revolution advance! The working class, leading all the oppressed sectors of the nation, is the one that can directly hit imperialism and its servants, expropriating the oil companies, which command the puppet government and its murderous security guards! Expropriation of all oil companies without compensation and under workers' control! Open the way to the shoras, the councils of workers and poor peasants!
The Iraqi revolution must unite in a single fist with the struggle of the American workers who have in their hands the key to paralyze the imperialist war machine that is massacring the masses in the Middle East.
The people want the fall of the regime! Out with the US imperialists and all invading Gurkha troops! Long livetheIraqirevolution!
