Big demonstrations in the world to support Palestinian people's
Resistance - In Italy action and comment from Milan demonstration -
From 16th of October redworker information against".
The State of Israel, its policy
which many - and we with them - rightly call Nazi-Zionist, that is, a
policy which bases the occupation of the land of Palestine on a
racist ideology and on ethnic cleansing, on genocide, in these days ,
in these hours, is bombing Gaza non-stop, since last Saturday some
sources report that 2,300 Palestinians have been killed, of which a
third, 724 are children, with a military policy of mass extermination
of the Palestinian people that has lasted for 75 years.
The support that the Israeli
occupying state receives only from all imperialist governments and
states and consists not only in military aid, but also in the
repression of internationalist solidarity with the Palestinian people
and the disinformation that these governments and states, their press
carry forward.
Despite all this police and media
apparatus, the streets of the world in recent days have been invaded
by the masses who have lined up for the right to national and social
self-determination of the Palestinian people against Israeli state
terrorism, with the great participation in the front row of the youth
which is the element that must be highlighted, an extraordinary
participation which clearly did not find space in the press of the
bourgeoisie, of the bosses, a participation which has nothing
comparable to the miserable - and miserable - support of a few people
who demonstrated their support for the Israeli terrorist/Nazi
occupier but which were echoed in the imperialist media.
Thousands of people took to the
streets in support of Palestine in Algeria and Morocco, in the
Moroccan capital Rabat there was a demonstration on Sunday to
demonstrate against the Israeli massacres in Gaza and to ask the
government to cut ties with Israel.
Morocco has been one of the few
Arab governments pushing for ties with Israel in recent years, but
the Moroccan people continue to reject that decision through their
constant solidarity marches in support of the Palestinians. The march
in Rabat was called by the "Moroccan Front for Support of
Palestine and Against Normalization" and the "National
Action Group for Palestine".
Now the cause of the Palestinian
people will be brought forward with motions, with slogans, among the
workers in the general strike of the grassroots unions on October
20th and in the demonstrations that will be held against the war in
some realities, in front of some bases, such as Gedi , Pisa, Palermo,
Taranto.
We report the intervention at the
Milan demonstration of the communist proletarian comrade and an
opinion on the demonstration:
"Today is a great
demonstration and a great day that must continue because they must
take back all the lies they are telling against the Palestinian
people.
We are unconditionally on the side
of the oppressed, on the side of Palestinian rights, on the side of
their armed resistance, of their liberation.
We are not the ones who have to
decide. The Palestinian people have decided to raise their heads and
move forward until victory. And we just have to do our part and
support him. It is a great battle, we must also do it here in Italy
against a government and against many parties that have sided with
the oppressors, with Israel, against many newspapers that have spewed
lies against the Palestinian people. We must not leave them alone.
We are for peace in Palestine but
there is no peace without justice and in Palestine today there is no
justice, there is only the oppression of the Zionists, of the Nazi
State of Israel which was put there by the imperialist countries to
crush the peoples and primarily the Arab peoples, but all the
peoples, because the struggle of Palestine is a struggle for the
liberation of all the peoples from Nazi-Zionism and imperialism.
Forward until victory!"
"No justice, no peace, until
Palestine is free." This is the gist of yesterday's
demonstration which brought thousands of young people, families,
proletarians, students, in solidarity to the streets, all linked by a
single objective alongside the Palestinian resistance against the
genocide of the Nazi State of Israel.
The communist proletarian comrades
who participated in this demonstration found themselves in a climate
of struggle, of determination with respect to those, the so-called
"beautiful souls", also of the movement, who they thought
they would flatten into positions that were always whining towards
the Palestinian people who have instead decided to raise their heads
and are fighting in all possible ways.
A river in flood that wanted to
denounce all the mystifications, the lies spouted by the media and by
the various parties that have sided with Israel, including in the
front row the Meloni government which has sided with the bloodthirsty
Netanyahu who throughout the march was rightly defined as a
"murderer", just as the Nazi State of Israel was defined as
a fascist state.
The just liberation of a people is
not terrorism, everyone said throughout the demonstration which
shouted out the anger and the need to continue the mobilization even
more in these hours in which, together with the massacre of the
Palestinian people, a deportation and a situation in which, despite
all the UN resolutions and international issues, they want to carry
out a real genocide of the people.
Support for the struggle of the
Palestinian people is support for all the oppressed of the world, it
is support for the battle that we wage every day in close connection
against the oppressors, against their system of masters, governments
and the imperialist system that wants to relegate to repression, war
and exploitation. This is why the battle that we are carrying out in
these mobilizations is also that of a growth of consciousness, of
class consciousness, of all being part of the same class of the
oppressed, against the oppressors, to have a true peace, because
without any justice there is no peace.
This is why in recent days we have
also brought this position to the workplace, to the factories,
because there is a close link between the daily condition of
exploitation and oppression and what is happening in Palestine, and
in many situations in the world where many, many peoples, from India
to Palestine, have decided to raise their heads again.
Our task is to stand at their side,
it is to wage the battle against our imperialism which uses the media
as a daily war, full of lies, against which we must loudly denounce
these days with initiatives right under the newspapers, identifying
the journalists by name and surname who are carrying out this dirty
campaign against the Palestinian people. Just as we must rally
together and denounce the repression that is also being implemented
in Italy with respect to support for those who are in solidarity with
the Palestinian resistance, in particular among young people and
students, because the system is afraid of this, this is a spark that
can really set a prairie on fire.
Participating in that event in
Milan had meaning grasp many aspects of the fear that the bourgeoisie
has, so our task is to move forward and wage a battle also to define
ourselves, to clarify the positions that are not in the field of
support for the Palestinian people, such as those that they were also
in Milan on Friday, behind the "Now Peace" street
mobilization which gathered very few people and representatives of
various political forces, including the Democratic Party,
Rifondazione Comunista, CGIL and also other associations, Emergency,
Anpi. These "Peace Now" positions do not support the
Palestinian people but, on the contrary, objectively support the
action of the imperialist countries.
These positions - condemnation of
Hamas' terrorism, immediate freedom for the hostages, now peace -
have truly outraged the Palestinians, who will certainly take them
into account from now on, to understand who is truly on their side
and for the Palestinian cause and who instead he takes sides in an
equidistant manner and therefore does not clearly take a position on
which side he is on.

The 20th of October strike in Palermo
During the morning shifts at the
Cantieri Navali in Palermo on the day of the general strike called by
the rank and file unions. The strike platform flyer and the workers'
counter-information newspaper on the strike and Palestine were
distributed.
The workers were informed of
today's strike by the Ex Ilva workers of Taranto and of the
demonstration in Rome, several expressed solidarity with the workers
of Taranto but criticizing Fiom and in particular Landini which "does
not start the war" (against the bosses) as one worker said. He
put up posters around the factory about the strike and the
demonstration of 21 October against the imperialist war in Palermo in
unity with the demonstrations in Ghedi, Pisa and Taranto.
Starting from 11.00 in the center
of the city, in Piazza Pretoria at the Municipality, the precarious
workers of Coop Sociali, school and service workers went on strike in
unity and connection with the workers, workers, temporary workers,
unemployed, migrants on strike today October 20th and fighting.
Also in the square at the
demonstration promoted by Slai Cobas sc were comrades/delegates from
the Cub, comrades from the Pcl and young comrades from the FGC.
In solidarity with the former Ilva
workers today on strike and demonstrating in Rome who blocked the
motorway in protest upon arrival in Rome, news of which arrived live
from Slai workers
Cobas sc.
If our life really has to change,
our struggle as women workers, precarious workers... it must be 360
degrees against the government, bosses, this capitalist system, the
precarious workers and workers who are always on the front line in
the struggle said loud and clear in the streets.
Alongside the Palestinian people,
against the criminal siege of Gaza by the Nazi and terrorist state of
Israel, fully supported by the US/European imperialist states
including Italy with the government headed by the fascist Meloni. In
unity with the appeal of the Palestinian unions on strike today.
Many passers-by, migrants and
tourists sympathized with the precarious workers and workers on
strike and took many photos and shared the appeal in solidarity with
the Palestinian people. During the demonstration, the appeal of the
Palestinian trade unions was read in full and applauded at the end
and supported by slogans. Free Palestine! WITHOUT JUSTICE NO PEACE!
A stage of struggle, it was said in the square, this strike which
must bring a real message to the workers, male and female workers,
precarious workers, the unemployed... proletarians on the need to
connect and unite to fight on a class basis towards the construction
of a true general strike that blocks the production of this system of
exploiting masters and against the government steeped in fascists in
power today, starting from the factories and extending to all
workplaces, also looking at the encouraging examples of the great
workers' struggles in France against the pension reform and
Stellantis workers in the USA on prolonged strike, which was reported
during the magaphonics

21th of October in Palermo against iperialist war, in the hearth
of proletairan and popular neighbourhoods, against assassin masters
of Leonardo at the service of the war
*Leonardo
is the main army factory in Italy that supplies israel army too.
Hundreds of demonstrators
yesterday, 21 October, the national day of mobilization against the
imperialist war, the military bases, the war profiteering factories,
at the procession promoted by the No Muos movement in unity and
connection with the other demonstrations in Ghedi, Pisa, Taranto, who
crossed the streets of the proletarian and popular Oreto-Guadagna
neighborhoods of Palermo to protest in this case also against the
presence, in the Guadagna neighborhood, of the Leonardo death
factory, a high-tech factory for war and space systems/devices in the
hands of the Italian State!
At the concentration we distributed
the flyer and several copies of the red workers' counter-information,
base unions such as the USB, the Cobas Confederation, the Cub and the
Slai Cobas per il
Sindacato di Classe were
present with a delegation of workers who already on the previous day
of the 20th had brought about the strike a strong message against the
imperialist war, so different political and social realities, the
young people of the FGC...
Some pacifists contested the slogan
of our banner saying that it would be absurd to respond to the
imperialist war with the war of the people, we only said "the
Palestinians, the Kurds, the oppressed peoples like in India who
should then suffer and wait happily that the "confrontation/dialogue"
between the imperialist states that are the proponents of war in the
service of Capital free them?".
Here some slogans:
The people in revolt write
history! No Muos until victory!
The proletariat has no
nation! Internationalism! Revolution!
Meloni government,
government of war and of the masters!
The imperialist war can
only be stopped if the people's war advances!
Strong and constant
solidarity from the beginning to the end of the march to the
Palestinian people who resist and fight against the Nazi state of
Israel!
Then
the procession started and positively involved a good part of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood who were quite intrigued and
surprised by this presence which was also very colored by the flags
of the various basic political and trade union organizations with a
large flag in the center in solidarity with Palestine currently below
the murderous bombs of the Nazi state of Israel.
While
the leaflet was being distributed, we spoke with various proletarians
who agreed on the gravity of the war and who, seeing for example our
sign against the Meloni government, denounced that Meloni, who has
villas costing millions of euros, only makes words, spends the money
for the war and gives nothing to the populations of popular
neighborhoods like Guadagna where "everything is missing and
where no one ever comes", said one woman, "they only know
how to come when they want the vote..."
A
great willingness of the people along the sidewalks to talk to the
demonstrators which in fact contrasted with some large shopping
centers which had closed the gates manned by security guards.
Various
anti-war, anti-bomb and appeal-to-fight slogans were projected onto
the buildings along the streets.
The
procession then, between several stops, arrived at the Leonardo
factory which is located in the heart of Guadagna, militarized with a
more than massive police presence inside and with helicopters
simultaneously controlling the procession from above throughout the
entire route. A denunciation action in front of the gates of the
factory whose entrance was stained red as a symbol of the blood of
all the victims massacred by the weapons of the murderous masters
while a writing with the word ASSASSINS was projected onto the
Leonardo sign.
The
Slai Cobas SC workers, passing in front of the factory, shouted "what
freedom, what democracy, this is a police state" Then the
procession resumed its route, crossing the neighborhood in reverse,
with many people on the balconies of the buildings taking photos and
videos to arrive again at the concentration site where there were
some final speeches including that of the proletari comunisti-Partito
Comunista maoista comrade.
A
step forward in the fight against the imperialist war which must be
strengthened and extended, but understanding must certainly advance
on the need to fight against the imperialism of our homeland, today
represented by the Meloni government, on which the denunciation in
this march it wasn't enough.
Thus
it is also necessary to clarify that if building unity of action and
struggle against the worsening of the imperialist war in the world is
urgent and cannot be postponed, this however does not mean uniting
generically and uncritically with everyone and the opposite of
everything: the tolerated presence in this procession of some
red-brown characters with boorish sovereignist positions and
supporters of Russian imperialism, which only the fellow proletari
comunisti have strongly contested, that is not acceptable.

Thousands in the demonstration against Ghedi military base -
Report from Proletari Comunisti".
The day of struggle against the war
on Saturday 21 October saw a good participation from a numerical
point of view in the demonstration at the Ghedi base, in particular
of the workers organized by Sicobas, some delegations of base unions
Sgb and Usb and Slai Cobas for the class union, a sign of a battle
that can and must advance within the workplaces and factories, but
also in the coherent realities of the anti-war movement which were
present in a limited way with some pacifist realities in the area
leading the march and with a part of more visible anti-militarist
anarchists.
We brought and represented in the
demonstration the proletarian and communist class, anti-imperialist
and internationalist positions, embodying the unitary slogan of
convocation Let's unite our forces against their wars, against
Meloni's government of the masters... Solidarity was strong and
heartfelt throughout the demonstration to Palestine and the
resistance of the masses and which was marked from beginning to end,
(even if on this, in particular in the TIR/si cobas segment, the
voice against the fascist and Nazi-Zionist state of Israel and the
complicit Italian imperialist government....)
The delegation of Proletari
Comunisti and a representation of logistics warehouse workers tried
to do their part in every phase of the demonstration to represent the
link between the fight against the imperialist war and the support
for the popular and liberation wars, from Palestine to India, passing
through the central issue for both aspects which is the fight against
our imperialism, the role of our imperialist state, today represented
by the modern fascist Meloni government….
From the beginning of the
concentration, the signs and posters, focused on the imperialist war
that can only be stopped if the people's war advances and on the
support of the Palestinian resistance to stop the terrorist genocide
of Israel, posted and distributed around 300 copies, attracted the
proletarians and workers even with short spikes, including the
presence of very young boys and girls who contributed with slogans
throughout the procession to incessant support for Palestine until
victory to try to unite the entire procession around this slogan.
There was no shortage of
interventions with the megaphone at various times, particularly in
the streets of the town of Ghedi, focusing on the national day of
struggle on 21 October against the war and the bases that united on
this day from Ghedi to Coltano, from Palermo to Taranto, and the link
with the Palestinian struggle which also indicates the need to raise
the level of class warfare in Italy too.
Without justice, no peace against
the conditions of exploitation and the attack on the living and
working conditions of the proletarians requires a new resistance of
the oppressed against the oppressors.
Our very concise final speech
(which was somewhat opposed until the end by some of the organizers)
summarizes what was said above and the meaning that we wanted to
bring to this day and demonstration: to strengthen the conscience of
proletarians and workers in struggle of the need to raise the level
of conflict to effectively oppose the war of the oppressed to the war
of the oppressors.
