Workers, toilers,
Two days ago, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the spectre of
war reappeared in Europe, in a fire which confirms the tendency of
the different imperialist powers marching towards a world war a new
repartition of the world, corresponding to the profits of the masters
of the world, the trade war and the fight to control the energy
sources.
This world imperialist system, crossed by the economic crisis, by the
pandemic which is not over at all, is now dragging us into a
devastating war.
This war depends on the offensive of American imperialism, supported
with contradictions by the European imperialist countries, which went
so far as to demand an aggressive military presence at the borders of
Russia, with Ukraine joining NATO, the direct presence of its
imperialist troops on the borders.
Russia, an imperialist and social-fascist country, which oppresses
proletarians and peoples within it, has seen its role as a military
and economic power threatened and so reacted as all imperialist
bandits react, with an action of war, occupying a country anyway
independent, claiming to annex a part of it and impose a change of
government as direct emanation of the imperialist interests of
Putin's Russia.
Imperialist powers are not at all interested in proletarians and people's masses the and least of all in peace, democracy, work, wages, health, life.
In the face of this fire, unfortunately, one cannot stand and watch
it on television. Because our masters and our governments, for their
economic interests, the profits, are up to their necks; as part of an
aggressive and warmongering alliance like NATO, because they share
the fundamental strategic interests of US imperialism and because
they have huge economic interests, on raw materials, gas, markets,
industries, with Russia itself.
And these are the factors that lead to the ongoing war and a possible
world fire.
For this reason, the workers, the toilers, the people’s masses of our country cannot take side with any of the countries in conflict, let alone share the choices of the government of Italian imperialism.
They must not be shared also because two concepts are central.
The wars are theirs, the dead and the destructive consequences are
ours; the costs of war are always unloaded on to the skin of the
proletariat and the masses and are always a factor of profits for the
masters.
Everything is dumped on the workers, the energy crisis that is
already underway with the sensational increase of bills and rampant
inflation, the costs of Italy's military participation in this war;
while the masses die for Covid 19 and are impoverished more and more.
Billions upon billions are used for the arms race.
This is why we are against the ongoing inter-imperialist war. And we must make our voices heard, our opposition in all possible forms, starting from factories and workplaces.
We are certainly in solidarity with the proletarians and the masses
under bombing in all parts of Ukraine. But being on the side of the
masses does not mean being on the side of the reactionary Nazi
government of Ukraine which contributed in all forms to igniting the
fires of war and used words such as "national sovereignty,
democracy", to pass bag and baggage to support the war-mongering
policy of US and Western imperialism, and always and only to give new
opportunities for profit to the masters and the capitalist and
exploiting ruling classes.
To say today to be on the side of Ukraine means to be in favour of
war and Western imperialist domination of the country.
In this case, proletarians and masses have no country to defend.
There are only two fronts in this war.
On the one side, US imperialism, European imperialism, NATO, invading
Russian imperialism, Ukrainian government and political forces
enslaved to the struggling imperialists;
on the other side, the proletarians and the masses in the war
territories, in the western and Russian imperialist countries, who
want peace, jobs, health and freedom, that can only be achieved by
turning the struggle and arms against the imperialist and reactionary
troops in the theatres of war and within all countries directly or
indirectly involved.
On this terrain, everyone must do their part. First of all, the organizations that organize the working class, all workers, young people, students in struggle, the people’s masses affected both in their material interests and in their feelings and aspirations.
