Una motovedetta della Guardia di Finanza aveva provato ad ostacolare l'ingresso della Sea Watch nel porto, ma il tentativo è durato poco. Mentre la capitana manovrava la nave entrata di poppa la motovedetta si è spostata lungo la banchina e andava avanti e indietro cercando di impedire l'attracco. La nave, però, ha proseguito nella manovra di accostamento rischiando di schiacciare l'imbarcazione dei finanzieri.

"La comandante Carola non aveva altra scelta - dice Giorgia Linardi, portavoce di Sae Watch Italia - da 36 ore aveva dichiarato lo stato di necessità che le autorità italiane avevano ignorato". "E' stata una decisione disperata - dicono i legali della Ong tedesca Leonardo Marino e Alessandro Gamberini - per una situazione che era diventata disperata".
Quando la capitana ha concluso la manovra si è affacciata sul ponte di comando ed è stata accolta da un lungo applauso di circa un centinaio di persone arrivate sul molo. Tra loro attivisti di Sea Watch, Pietro Bartolo medico dell'isola ed europarlamentare del Pd, don Carmelo parroco di Lampedusa, e le persone che avevano solidarizzato in questi giorni con la Sea Watch dormendo sul sagrato della chiesa. 
Sea Watch 3 attracca a Lampedusa, i migranti sbarcano dopo 17 giorni. E' stata la notte della Sea Watch, con l'ingresso nel porto di Lampedusa, intorno all'1.40 della nave, e il successivo attracco, tra applausi e urla, dopo un turbolento avvicinamento al molo con motovedette italiane a cercare di impedire l'approdo forzato voluto dalla comandante Carola Rackete, posta in stato di arresto al momento dello sbarco. «Non ce la faccio più, devo portarli in salvo», ha detto la comandante.
Liberare subito Carola Rackete

PCI(Maoist) texts - ICSPWI - 2 - towards a new plan for supporting people's war in India

...The initial years of the last decade saw huge outpourings of the masses against globalisation policies that destroyed their lives and a strengthening of people’s wars and armed liberation struggles. The ideology of the proletariat was more sharply posed through the establishment of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Its wider adoption strengthened the grounds for closer unity among Maoist forces, internationally and in different countries. Stirrings of a new wave of revolution could be seen in the world. Mainly in response to this, imperialism, particularly US imperialism initiated and launched a massive, worldwide counter-revolutionary offensive, directed against the people. This was the main content of the so-called ‘War on Terrorism’ which all imperialists and reactionaries joined or supported. Wars of aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq, curtailment of democratic rights, attacks on people’s struggles, growing fascicisation throughout the world, step up of suppressive campaigns against armed struggles...
.. the world today shows a situation of great potential for a powerful new wave of revolution. But there is another side to this, a bitter side, one of betrayal. Once again in the history of the international communist movement revisionism has blocked it from gaining the most of a favourable situation. The betrayal of the people’s war in Nepal by the CPN (Maoist) leadership, particularly the Prachanda-Bhattarai clique, was the most damaging of its acts. The possibility of forcing the enemies of the people to drop their guise as saviours of democracy fighting obscurantist fanatics and bringing them into direct confrontation with a revolutionary people, of raising the banners of a people’s war led by Maoists as a rallying centre against imperialism and reaction, of winning over broad sections of the people to the cause of communism, was destroyed. From another end we see a liquidationist attack on our ideology that seeks to pull down the banners of a MLM and replace it with the hollow claims of Avakianism. This has already destroyed some Maoist parties, who once had an honourable place in the ranks of the ICM. Both of these deviations have been confronted by the Maoists and the struggle continues. Efforts are on to consolidate Maoist parties and build new ones. But the loss is evident. There is a considerable drop in the subjective forces of world proletarian revolution, caused not by enemy suppression, but by the enemies emerging from within it. Thus we see the contradiction, the glaring gap between the potential of the objective situation and the subjective capacities of the Maoist forces. This is what we must confront.
...Our party believes that it is the need of the hour for the communist forces to strive to mobilise the broadest possible anti-imperialist, democratic and revolutionary forces to strengthen the campaign to end OGH and with a view to build a broad worldwide anti-imperialist front that is in process. And the further strengthening of the unity of communist forces world over would lead to stronger support for the Indian Revolution too. In the present situation, the objective potential of the world situation is far outstripping the subjective capacities of the individual parties. Yet much can be done to win over a large section to the cause of communism through their united effort. The recent years have seen collective activities in the form of joint May Day statements, seminars on important developments, conferences of Maoist parties for summing up experiences of international organisation and strengthening the struggle against neo-revisionism, joint forums such as the International Support Committee and the solidarity activities it has initiated. We have welcomed these efforts and continue to support them. We must now explore the possibilities of making the closer ties born out of these activities and growing unity of thinking on ideological, political issues the basis for further advance. Just as the Indian revolution serves the world proletarian revolution so too is its future vitally linked to how best the Maoists throughout the world can make the most of the world situation and advance world revolution.....

Rally held for Saibaba in Surrey




Dozens of political activists came together to raise their voices for jailed Delhi University Professor G.N. Saibaba at a rally held in Surrey on Sunday, June 16.
Organized by Indians Abroad for Pluralist India (IAPI), the rally was aimed at drawing international attention to the deteriorating health of physically challenged Prof. Saibaba who is being incarcerated under inhuman conditions by the Indian state.
Wheelchair-bound Saibaba is ninety percent disabled below the waist, and is suffering with 19 ailments. Yet, the Indian judiciary has refused to set him free on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

Chile - NIEGA CELEBRAR WE TRIPANTU A FAMILIARES DE PPM ANGOL





En la mañana de hoy miércoles, estaba convocada la celebración de la tradicional ceremonia de We Tripantu, Año Nuevo mapuche en la Cárcel de Angol. Sin embargo, sólo se permitió el ingreso a 64 personas, en circunstancias que habían llegado más de 300 personas entre familiares y amigos. Frente a esto las autoridades mapuche decidieron no ingresar y dirigirse a la Gobernación Provincial de Malleco a exigir explicaciones, hecho que fue duramente reprimido.
We Tripantu
Esta ceremonia es una fecha trascendental para la religiosidad y espiritualidad del pueblo mapuche, ya que se celebra la llegada de un nuevo año en el solsticio de invierno. Es común que las familias se reúnan y compartan alimentos ante el ciclo de producción venidero.
Tan importante es esta ceremonia para los mapuche que existe una propuesta parlamentaria para que esta fecha sea feriado nacional, como supuesta muestra de acercamiento al pueblo mapuche. Pero estas buenas intenciones se desvanecen cuando, por otra parte, se actúa con total desprecio, como fue el día de hoy para las familias de los presos políticos mapuche de Angol.

Mexico - 14 de Junio: ¡Ni perdón, ni olvido!




Han pasado trece años de aquella madrugada del 14 de Junio de 2006, donde el impresionante operativo policiaco del gobierno del Tirano Ulises Ruiz Ortiz en contra del plantón magisterial-popular en Oaxaca devino en fallido desalojo ante la pujante resistencia y autodefensa de los trabajadores de la educación y las capas más profundas del pueblo, que salieron en apoyo al magisterio democrático, haciendo morder el polvo a los esbirros del viejo estado.
La intensa lucha callejera que se desarrolló en el primer cuadro de la Ciudad enfrentó al aparato bélico de la policía antimotines que atacó el plantón con fuerzas de tierra y aire, lanzando granadas de gas lacrimógeno, bombas aturdidoras, disparos con armas de fuego y el propio incendio de nuestros campamentos.
¿Quién puede olvidar el helicóptero comercial utilizado por el Tirano y la Unidad Policiaca de Operaciones Especiales (UPOE) para atacar a los manifestantes?

  • Brasil é um dos dez piores países para o trabalhador, atesta relatório AND


    O Brasil é um dos dez piores países do mundo para ser um trabalhador no ano de 2019, segundo o ranking do Global Rights Index (Índice de Direitos Globais, em tradução livre). O relatório, produzido pela própria Confederação Sindical Internacional (CSI), levou em conta o nível de repressão violenta a greves, dificuldades para acessar leis de trabalho, ameaças e intimidações na atividade laboral e sindical e adoção de leis regressivas.
    Os países que dividem com o Brasil a lista são: Zimbábue, Bangladesh, Argélia, Guatemala, Cazaquistão, Arábia Saudita, Turquia, Colômbia e Filipinas. São analisadas as situações em mais de 145 países utilizando-se de 97 indicadores, numa classificação de um a cinco.
    Segundo a avaliação, o Brasil recebeu a pior pontuação no que respeita a garantia de direitos para os trabalhadores, junto com outros países como Eritreia e outros.
    "Os governos estão tentando silenciar a era da raiva ao restringir a liberdade de expressão e de reunião", afirmou a secretária geral da CSI, Sharan Burrow. Ela disse ainda que em 72% dos países os trabalhadores sofreram restrições também para acessar à justiça, como é o caso do Brasil com a "reforma trabalhista" aprovada por Temer e pelo Congresso de corruptos.
    “O trabalho decente está sendo afetado e os direitos estão sendo negados pelas empresas, evitando regras e regulamentos", disse Burrow.
    Os dados são atestados pela própria CSI, que produziu o relatório. Tal entidade é vinculada com as Federações Sindicais Globais e com o Comitê Consultivo Sindical da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), grupos e instituições controladas pelo imperialismo.

    Denounce PNP for cover-up of fascist mass killings


    The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) denounces the Philippine National Police (PNP) for trying to cover-up and downplay the extent of fascist mass killings perpetrated by both the police and Duterte’s death squads in the course of Duterte’s so-called “drug war.”
    The CPP denounces the PNP for its rejection of calls of international human rights stalwarts to investigate the rampant cases of killings claiming that police operations are “generally aboveboard” and that the number of deaths is high because suspects “fight back.”
    Since assuming power in 2016, Duterte has unleashed unmitigated fascist violence against the people in his drug war especially against the poor people in the urban slums. By repeatedly insisting that those addicted to the use of illegal drugs do not deserve to live, Duterte has instigated the police and police-directed death squads to carry out mass killings.

    Samidoun: Repression Continues in Berlin: Solidarity with leftists under attack!


    Samidoun: Repression Continues in Berlin: Solidarity with leftists under attack!


    On Wednesday, 26 June, state repression continued to escalate in Berlin, Germany, as Berlin police and right-wing media outlets promoted a series of raids and searches at the homes of nine alleged members of Jugendwiderstand (Youth Resistance), a left revolutionary youth organization that fights fascism and upholds Palestinian rights as well as supporting liberation struggles around the world. After a series of repressive attacks, the group dissolved itself earlier in June, but the raids and attacks have continued.
    According to media reports, police allegedly accuse the Jugendwiderstand members of “attacking” two events. First, they accuse them of engaging in militant confrontations with the open neo-Nazis that parade through Berlin each year in the “Rudolf Hess Memorial March” protected from antifascists by the Berlin police. Despite the German government’s cynical use of the term “anti-Semitism” to oppose advocacy for Palestinian rights and criticism of Israel, actual Nazis and anti-Semites who celebrate Nazi leaders are provided with extensive, expensive protection against leftist demonstrators.

    France - la bourgeoisie est prete pour le fascisme



    Par Si tu veux mon avis
    Si tu veux mon avis, l’invitation de Marion Maréchal Le Pen à l’Université d’été du MEDEF et son rapprochement avec plusieurs personnalités de droite, est quelque chose de tout à fait significatif. Cela montre que la droite traditionnelle et une partie du patronat sont tout à fait prêts pour le fascisme.
    On l’a dit plusieurs fois sur cette page, le fascisme c’est la dictature ouverte de la frange la plus réactionnaire de la bourgeoisie, un système ultra capitaliste dans lequel la bourgeoisie renforce son pouvoir, attaque frontalement les droits des travailleurs, divise le prolétariat sur des critères racistes, xénophobes, LGBTIphobes, sexistes, islamophobes, antisémites. Le fascisme est un mode de gouvernance du capitalisme basé sur un autoritarisme accru. Le fascisme intervient souvent en période de crise intense, dans un moment où la bourgeoisie craint pour son pouvoir.
    Depuis la déroute de la droite traditionnelle aux élections européennes, depuis qu’une bonne partie de l’électorat bourgeois des quartiers riches a abandonné LR pour LREM, Marion Maréchal Le Pen tente de revenir sur le devant de la scène pour nouer des alliances avec des personnalités de LR. Le parti bourgeois, réactionnaire, qu’est LR se prépare donc à nouer des liens avec le Rassemblement National, parti fasciste qui a toujours servi de roue de secours à la bourgeoisie de l’État français.
    Du côté du patronat, ça joue un jeu double. D’un côté, le grand patronat ne cesse de réitérer sa confiance en Macron, de l’autre, il se prépare à l’éventualité du fascisme dans un contexte de lutte sociale intense, dans le contexte des gilets jaunes. En invitant Marion Maréchal Le Pen à son Université d’été, le MEDEF envoie donc non seulement un signal fort à Macron, mais il se prépare également à gouverner avec une « droite élargie » composée de personnalités issues de LR et du RN.
    Là où la stratégie d’attaque frontale contre les masses populaires menée par Macron depuis deux ans a produit le mouvement des gilets jaunes, le RN et la pseudo « droite sociale » ont toujours préféré tenir un discours défendant les travailleurs français face aux travailleurs immigrés, les honnêtes agriculteurs face aux assistés au RSA, les petits patrons français face à la « finance mondialisée ». Ce discours rencontre une sympathie relative auprès d’une partie des travailleurs des petits patrons et des agriculteurs.
    Si le patronat, en jouant sur tous les tableaux, se prépare à l’éventualité du fascisme pour mater un mouvement révolutionnaire, alors les forces progressistes, qui luttent contre le capitalisme, doivent renforcer leur lutte contre le fascisme, faire front commun afin de se préparer à combattre les fascistes, par tous les moyens nécessaires, légaux ou illégaux, pacifistes ou violents. Il est nécessaire de nous préparer à l’éventualité d’une accession au pouvoir des fascistes, soutenus par la bourgeoisie, il est nécessaire que les militants révolutionnaires des différentes villes nouent des liens entre eux, apprennent à mener des campagnes communes, nouent des relations avec des organisations progressistes d’autres pays afin d’avoir un soutien international en cas de victoire du fascisme.
    Les capitalistes montrent les crocs, préparons nous à riposter !

    Ecuador - MOVIMIENTO FEMENINO POPULAR'S PRONOUNCEMENT IN THE FACE OF AN EXECRABLE CRIME COMMITED IN IBARRA-IMBABURA




    A new act of violence has shocked the inhabitants of the city of Ibarra, Imbabura. On January 19, 2019, an individual stabbed his pregnant partner to death in the presence of police officers and passers-by on a downtown street. The absurdity of this fact is that the police proved, once again, inoperative, unable to respond and avoiding an event that ended in tragedy.

    Beyond the fact that this type of violence has become a daily occurrence in the country, it must be considered that, contrary to what social media says, the fact that the murderer was of Venezuelan nationality is of no relevance. This generates a kind of xenophobia that does not coincide with objective reality.

    A murderer kills for various reasons, not precisely because of his nationality, gender, ethnic group or other reason, he does so because he is a criminal, a liability of the old society. In addition, it is important to consider that the problem also happens because the police, in spite of having the necessary instruments to intervene, did not have the capacity to respond.

    It is important to point out that the escalation of violence in which we are immersed is proportional to the level of pauperization, misery, unemployment that the country lives.

    international analisys - international tasks for mlm parties and organisations...The imperialist system continues going through a deep crisis..







    ..... Current attempts imperialist and reactionary to deal with and overcome it are unsuccessful and it is going to deepen and extend.
    The crisis, emerged in the field of finance, has its cause in production and today results in a new recession. The global inter-imperialist dispute and contradictions become sharper. These new disputes start as trade war, and then are increasingly turning into political-military geo-strategic contradictions, resulting in and expanding in aggressive, occupied and proxy wars in countries oppressed by imperialism and also somewhat advancing the tendency to a new direct world war between imperialist for world repartition.
    Deeping and expanding of imperialist crisis means to overloaded and expanding of imperialist and reactionaries unloads on the proletarians and masses of the peoples It means an increasing gap between the wealth of a handful of imperialist countries and the poverty of three-quarters of the humanity of in the countries oppressed by imperialism and, within each country, between the ruling classes and the proletarians, peasants and exploited masses. And causes to become sharper the contradiction between of oppressed peoples and nations of world with imperialism and the contradiction of imperialist capitalist and proletarian and masses of the peoples in imperialist countries
    The policies of imperialism exacerbate and make the impact of the system more and more catastrophic in terms of environmental and natural disasters.
    Within the imperialist countries the tendency to fascism and open dictatorship advances.
    In countries oppressed by imperialism, where the ruling regimes have always been reactionary and subservient of the imperialist powers, illusions on national, popular and anti-imperialist governments are falling down and dictatorships with openly fascist and military character are advancing.
    Imperialism is misery, reaction and war. Development, wealth, democracy and peace, the safeguard of health and environment are increasingly proven to be incompatible with the rule of the imperialist system.
    Against this system and its crisis the proletarians and the peoples are rebelling both in the imperialist countries and in the countries oppressed by imperialism. The objective conditions of the class struggle, of the national liberation struggle, of the people’s war are getting sharper.
    On the subjective level, the proletariat and its Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (MLM) organizations are still lagging behind in developing strategies, tactics and organizations and are not up to the challenges put by the objective situation both in the imperialist countries and in the countries oppressed by imperialism.
    The ruling classes of the whole world are increasingly resorting to fascism, to impose their plans and their power and also to divert the growing discontent and resistance of the people’s masses.
    The rebellions of the masses in the countries oppressed by imperialism are led by sectors still bound to one or another fraction of the big, petty or middle bourgeoisie, or even the feudal forces or to one or another imperialism and cannot find the way to a genuine revolutionary struggle for New Democracy and socialism.
    In the imperialist countries, even if the people’s struggle increase, as in France, the fascist-populist demagogy advances and the use of the huge immigration waves, caused by imperialism, to divert the anger of the masses not towards the domination of the ruling bourgeois forces but towards the migrants, provoking a war between the poors
    In this national and world situation, the task of the communist, revolutionary and progressive forces in the world is huge.
    To affirm the irrefutable truth that the only alternative to waged slavery, exploitation, oppression, domination, misery, discrimination, devastation, crises and wars created by capitalism in today’s world is socialism and communism.
    To develop and build the parties of the working class, to root them among the masses; to wage a hard struggle within the ranks of the masses for the ideological and political independence of the proletariat, based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism; to build mass organizations under the leadership of these parties, able to lead the struggling sectors of masses and tear them away from the influence of the reactionary fundamentalist pan Islamist, fascist-populist forces as well as the remnants of the social democratic and reformist forces; fight economism, legalism, imperialist chauvinism.
    To organize the proletariat and mass resistance to internal reactionaries wars and, when the imperialist war advances, make serious determined preparations, to transform it into revolution; to build the militant and fighting forces of the masses to respond to state repression and fight fascist groups; to direct and pave the way for a true revolutionary struggle to overthrow imperialism, its states, its governments and establish the proletarian power.
    This battle, to be fought in each country, demands, in the current international context, an international view, international links, a common battle at the international level of the proletariat and the oppressed peoples.....

    for debate - Sison reply and Again in Defense of the Universality of People's War by Ard Kinera



    Follow-up Note: On the Question of Protracted People’s War
    in Industrial Capitalist Countries.

    By Jose Maria Sison
    Founding Chairman, Communist Party of the Philippines

    Waging protracted people’s war in any industrial capitalist country is not a matter of dogmatically asserting it or putting every part of my article out of its clear context.

    For many decades already, I have heard of the notion or threat to wage a protracted people’s war in imperialist countries but to this day I have not seen any Maoist party proclaiming and actually starting it in any imperialist country.

    In fact, I am not aware of any Maoist party in an industrially developed capitalist country strong enough to lead any armed revolution with the participation of any sizable proletarian masses in the industrial and service sectors of the economy.  Nowhere in the industrial capitalist countries is there any Maoist party as formidable as the Bolshevik party in the trade unions and workers’ cooperatives in the run up to the October revolution of 1917.

    There is no protracted people’s war of any kind going on in any industrial capitalist country. What has been protracted is merely idle talk or hot air about the possibility of waging protracted people’s war.  No serious preparations for it are being made.  There can never be such a people’s war without preparations for a certain period of time, depending on the subjective factors and the objective conditions.  It will take at least some years to prepare and to realize the start of such armed revolution of the people.

    A people’s war of whatever duration and scale is possible in the industrial capitalist country country only after a period of preparations of ideological work, political education and mass work, party and mass organizing, clandestine accumulation of arms, politico-military training and Bolshevik style penetration of the reactionary armed forces.  Such preparations or suggestions thereof should not be disdained or begrudged.

    These preparations ought to take advantage of the imperialist crises and wars, splits among the imperialist powers, violent contradictions among reactionary factions in the imperialist countries,  the revolutionary advances being made in the underdeveloped countries, the desire of the proletariat and the people for revolutionary change and the strength of the revolutionary party to lead the armed revolution of the people in their millions.

    It is only a “Left” opportunist, a fake Maoist or even an agent provocateur who has disdain for the lasting admonition of the Communist Manifesto to win the battle for democracy against the bourgeois class dictatorship and who clamors for proclaiming and starting a people’s war in an industrial capitalist country without the necessary preparations of the subjective forces and the favorable objective conditions that I have mentioned.

    Winning the battle for democracy does not mean merely competing with the bourgeoisie within the confines of its class dictatorship but fighting in every possible and necessary way the attempt of the monopoly bourgeoisie to misrepresent itself as the center of moderation and to use reformism or social democracy and fascism as its two arms to stave off the proletarian revolution by debilitating or destroying it.

    In any kind of country, the serious Maoist party makes concrete plans and preparations for armed revolution.  The Filipino proletarian revolutionaries had to study the theory and practice of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, put forward the general line of people’s democratic revolution and the strategic line of protracted people’s war, conduct social investigation and mass work in the effort to develop the party, the people’s army and the united front as the weapons of the people’s revolutionary struggle against US imperialism and the local exploiting classes.

    To prepare for the reestablishment of the Communist Party of the Philippines on December 26, 1968 and the New People’s Army on March 29, 1969, the Filipino proletarian revolutionaries used a full decade of ideological, political and organizational work and some five years of politico-military training and linking up with remnants of the old people’s army whose main force had been decimated from 1950 to 1952.

    Communists proclaim their ideological position and political program and never conceal their ultimate goal of overthrowing the class dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and replacing it with that of the proletariat.  But they are smart enough to use both the open and legal as well as the clandestine and nonlegal forms of struggle and methods of developing the revolutionary mass movement towards the proletarian-socialist revolution.  And they are prudent enough not to go into the pitfalls of “Left” and Right opportunist, the fake Maoist or the Agent.

    Again in Defense of the Universality of People's War by Ard Kinera



    The 5th of June (2019), founding chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines, José Maria Sison, put forth a text on People’s War in what he define as industrialized capitalist countries. The day after we made public a response to this article, and Sison has replied on the 7th of June.

    The reply is quite interesting. While the first text has to be read as a condemnation of the line of People’s War being universally applicable, his second text is kind of a retreat. It is even less clear than the first article on the the question of People’s War. While the question is raised to the level of the title, it is not clearly answered in the article itself. Not directly and beyond doubt that is. It is still impossible to read these texts as anything else than an attack on the universal applicability of Protracted People’s War, but the door is left with a tiny crack open. 

    We know the extreme flexibility of many opportunists. They are able to wiggle them self through the most narrow cracks, and thus they might pretend there is no contradiction between Sison’s statements and upholding the necessity of People’s War in the imperialist countries. As usual, they pretend ‘two merges into one’ and want nothing more than to run away from the two-line struggle

    for debate - The Soviet Revolution's Impact on the Third World - democracy and classstruggle





    Vijay Prashad, Chief Editor of Leftward books on his new book ‘Red Star Over the Third World’, the Russian revolution’s impact on the colonised world, the early growing relationship between Islam and revolutionary communism, the growing relationship between the US, CIA and radical Islam and how we must take inspiration from Lenin’s outlook before the 1917 revolution!



    ‘Like the brilliant sun, the October Revolution shone over all five continents, awakening millions of oppressed and exploited people around the world. There has never existed such a revolution of such significance and scale in the history of humanity’. – Ho Chí Minh 

    From Cuba to Vietnam, from China to South Africa, the October Revolution remains as an inspiration. After all, that Revolution proved that the working class and the peasantry could not only overthrow an autocratic government but that it could form its own government, in its image. It proved decisively that the working class and the peasantry could be allied. 

    It proved as well the necessity of a vanguard party that was open to spontaneous currents of unrest, but which could guide a revolution to completion. 


    This book explains the power of the October Revolution for the Third World. It is not a comprehensive study, but a small book with a large hope – that a new generation will come to see the importance of this revolution for the working class and peasantry in that part of the world that suffered under the heel of colonial domination

    Apuntes: Urbanismo y territorio en el Socialismo.

    Un artículo del camarada Miguel Alonso.


     Resultado de imagen de constructivismo ruso
     
    Apuntes: Urbanismo y territorio en el Socialismo.
    Miguel Alonso.
    Sin duda uno de los protagonistas de la nueva sociedad revolucionaria será el Urbanismo y la planificación del territorio. Cuestión esta, que enfrentará las contradicciones Ciudad/Campo y  Centralización/Descentralización. Ligado todo ello con las fuentes energéticas y a los medios de transporte.
    El desarrollo acentuado de las ciudades o mega-ciudades en el capitalismo,  en la la sociedades esclavistas o feudales también se manifiesta ya esta tendencia, es sin duda un problema que tendrá que ser abordado por el nuevo urbanismo socialista. La ciudad se construye como espacio de poder, comercio y negocios, no al servicio del pueblo o de una vida sana y plena de sus habitantes. Este es sin duda el centro del debate.
    La Gran Revolución Socialista de Octubre nos legó un gran caudal de conocimientos y propuestas sobre el nuevo urbanismo socialista y aunque muchas de ellas, no pudieron ser aplicadas por las circunstancias históricas, si son patrimonio del Socialismo y abrieron nuevos cauces para la solución de los problemas del mismo. Lo mismo podemos decir de la revolución en la Republica Popular China y  sus soluciones sobre la contradicción Campo/Ciudad, las Comunas Populares, novedosa propuesta del Pdte. Mao aplicada no solo en China, sino también en el marco de la revolución en Kampuchea Democrática o en Mozambique.
    Servir al Pueblo.
    Esta es la toma de posición que debe guiar la nueva sociedad.
    Las sociedades burguesas acentuaron su carácter de división de la ciudad en aéreas para las elites y barrios periféricos, más o menos marginales, para la clase obrera y el pueblo trabajador. Todo ello, serán cosas del pasado que habrá que revertir en el nuevo estado de Dictadura del Proletariado.
    El desarrollo de la planificación del territorio obedece a cuestiones económicas y a la producción, base económica, pero también a decisiones políticas e ideológicas, superestructura. 
    Frederick Engels señaló que hay que “terminar con las grandes ciudades, cualquiera  que sea  el precio a pagar”. Las megas-ciudades son estructuras al servicio del capitalismo y de la opresión, no son espacios habitables sanos, que promuevan unas nuevas relaciones sociales y de producción, por ello tenderán a desaparecer gradualmente o a ser abandonadas.
    Parte fundamental de la planificación socialista del territorio, tendrá que ser el cuidado del mismo, tanto en sus aspectos ecológicos como de reducción del impacto industrial en el mismo. A todo ello ayudara, la nueva planificación económica, con un considerable ahorro de materias y finalizando el derroche caótico de las mismas.
    ¿En realidad necesitamos para vivir un millón de objetos, como nos vende la sociedad de consumo capitalista?
    La tecnología al servicio del pueblo barrera esta patológica necesidad de consumo inculcada en las masas populares por la burguesía imperialista.

    Con ello me refiero, al hecho de que al desaparecer el factor de lucro en la producción, los objetos, tanto en su diseño como su calidad, tendrán una mayor duración, sin el caótico derroche del capitalismo y sus técnicas de “obsolescencia programada” para beneficio del “mercado”.
    Pero volvamos al urbanismo revolucionario de la nueva sociedad, evidentemente todos estos cambios decisivos, no se producirán de la noche a la mañana. Será un proceso paulatino, con la desaparición de las formas burguesas y pequeño-burguesas de convivencia, tales como la familia o las relaciones de producción.
    Todo ello tomando como clave la lucha de clases a nivel ideológico, por el método unidad/lucha y aplicando línea de masas para las contradicciones en el seno del pueblo, basado en el respeto al sentir de las masas.
    Es un hecho objetivo, que el peso de la vieja sociedad y sus valores, individualistas y egoístas, están presentes en todos nosotros. 
    Hemos crecido en medio de la lucha contra ello, pero somos, también, parte de esta contradicción. Para ello tenemos que tomar posición decidida por lo colectivo (comedores populares, restaurantes, lavanderías, etc.). 
    Todo ello, para la clase obrera, con el nivel de diseño y calidad de los mejores locales exclusivos de la vieja sociedad, lo mismo para las viviendas o las propias instalaciones industriales o agrícolas. Un ejemplo histórico de esto, fue el metro de Moscú y sus estaciones, que aun hoy, siguen disfrutando los trabajadores, en la capital de Rusia.
    “Las necesidades del pueblo, no son un lujo”, esta frase del arquitecto comunista Hannes Meyer, que fue director de la Bauhaus en Dessau, es un correcto resumen del nuevo enfoque en la planificación y la arquitectura.
    La labor de la burguesía y sus agentes ha sido durante años denigrar lo colectivo, presentando imágenes de suciedad y pobreza de los mismos. Evidentemente ocultando que dichas situaciones, en su mayoría, obedecen a la opresión y explotación de la clase obrera y del pueblo trabajador, por la oligarquía burguesa.
    Nuevas formas residenciales.
    Una sin duda, importante experiencia fue el planteamiento de viviendas colectivas, organizadas como autosuficientes que se desarrollaron en los años 20, basadas en las teorías de los socialistas utópicos, pero ahora posibles en el nuevo marco revolucionario.
    La planificación del territorio y sus realidades nunca pueden ser “calco o copia” al igual que los procesos revolucionarios. Lo cual indica, que es la realidad objetiva y el análisis concreto de sus contradicciones, lo que determinara que formas requerirán la solución de las mismas.
