In
the protest demonstration on Saturday 15 June against the G7, we
participated with a strong contingent mainly made of workers, members
of proletari comunisti, the Slai cobas for the class union and the
revolutionary proletarian feminist movement, who struggle every day
in their workplace, in the territory, to defend the workers’
interests and raise their class-consciousness and turn it into social
political struggle against the masters and the government.
The
G-7 brought together the chiefs of state and government of the 7 most
industrialized and richest countries in the world; they were joined
by premiers of various countries, from India to Brazil, from Turkey
to the Middle East, Argentina, etc. The representative of the
European Union and the Pope also participated. This summit decided
one thing above all: 50 billion to continue the war in Ukraine, to
continue all reactionary imperialist wars within the framework of
sharpening world contradictions between the imperialist G-7 countries
and Russia, China. A military and economic escalation that represents
a step forward towards the third world war. They also reiterated the
concrete military and political support for the genocide in Palestine
carried out by the Zionist State of Israel, in the name of the
so-called "Biden plan".
These
are the decisions they made in a luxury resort in Borgo Egnazia,
having made the Apulia a militarized zone, under a state of siege
imposed by around 8,000 men of all police and armed forces, fully
armed, even with posts missiles and aircraft carriers. They turned
the inhabitants of that area into sequestered at home. At the same
time, they tried to fuel the population's fear of protest
demonstrations.
They
occupied all the luxury hotels, first and foremost the Borgo Egnazia
resort. They went on huge binges, endless celebratory photos and
videos of all kinds, to show that they were all in agreement. They
thus flaunted their power over the destinies of the world.
Italian
prime minister Meloni, even more than her cabinet made of half
figures and disqualified characters, tried to gain credibility
towards the so-called "Great of the earth", with a humble
subservient attitude, making the entire Region available to the
warlords, under the sign of luxury, the waste of millions and
millions of public funds. It has been reported that the overall cost
reached 100 million.
Against
this Summit, a strong mobilization effort was made by the forces
gathered in the anti-G7 regional coordination, to which our
organization and all the forces connected to it contributed, in stark
contrast with to the stand prevailing among the parliamentary and
extra-parliamentary left, the base unionism -except the Cobas
Confederation and the Slai cobas for the Class Union- and the
economicist or extremist groups, that have deserted the mobilization
and left the field free to the imperialist masters and the Meloni
government.
More
than a thousand people with a strong base in the area participated in
the protest, along with delegations from all over the country.
It
has been important that the people of Fasano did not accept the logic
that local administrations and the government had tried to impose
them, to force them to keep everything closed, not to participate in
anything.
The
demonstration crossed the town along 3 km, and in many streets the
march saw a strong presence of the local population at the sides,
including the many who looked out from the windows.
The
masses of Fasano were able to see with their own eyes that those who
the State, the government, the mainstream press, the local press, the
local administrations tried to paint as potential terrorists were in
fact many young people, women, workers from Taranto, Brindisi, Bari,
a few from other Italian cities.
They
saw workers who had faced long journeys, like those from Bergamo;
they saw comrades, at the forefront in the struggles on their
territories, on the environment, against military bases, coming from
Pisa, Florence, Ravenna, Milan, etc.; they saw many who came from
other parts of the Southern Italy, like those who are opposing the
bridge in Messina; or those who are carrying out many demonstrations
in solidarity with the Palestinian people and above all against the
main war industry of our country, Leonardo, in Palermo.
The
march gradually became an explosion of slogans against the warlords,
against the capitalist/imperialist system. An explosion of solidarity
to the Palestinian people. A protest that gradually gave a voice to
everyone, who could not only to make their voice heard loud and
clear, but also everything they represented.
It
was said at this demonstration: they are 7, we are the rest of the
world; those who do not want a new imperialist war, who do not want
genocide in Palestine, who do not want poverty, exploitation, who do
not want hunger; those who struggle in Italy for work, wages, against
environmental and territorial devastation; the students who protest a
school that serves the war, who claim to break any relationship with
Israel; all those who ask for peace, democracy, and certainly not
war, police state; all them were represented in the demonstration.
It
was a strongly anti-fascist demonstration, because in it clearly
advanced the understanding that we have a modern-fascist government
in Italy, which wants to get its hands on the entire country and drag
it into the imperialist war.
With
the slogan "Apulia is not a war zone, never again G7 in our
land", this demonstration was able to dismantle the propagated
image of this G7; it managed to move, to excite the masses of Fasano
who began to see clearly what this G7 really was, not what the
mainstream media and newspapers told them.
There
were journalists from other countries around the world, from the US
to Japan who had to report the contents and strength of the
demonstration. A highly communicative event towards the masses, among
whom the consent to contents it expressed gradually increased.
We
communists, avant-garde proletarians, women of the revolutionary
proletarian feminist movement, are proud for having participated and
contributed to its success.
We
supported the anti-G7 coordination that made it possible, those who
did the utmost to build the unity necessary for this demonstration.
The
Meloni government and its servants in the Region claimed that Apulia
with the G7 has become the showcase of the world. No, it has become
the showcase of war. This G7 was a real shame, an outrage not only to
our territory, but to the people of the world, to the workers of the
whole country.
This
demonstration unmasked the Meloni government, the warlords of the G7
and the entire court that supported them. It unmasked the bourgeois
state, which is incapable of dealing with even the basic problems of
the people but sends 8,000 armed and trained soldiers and secret
services when hosts these summits. They deployed such a military
force because they are afraid, they fear that the people don't
believe their propaganda it and will rebel against all this.
The
message of the demonstration was: It is right to rebel! Unite in one
front all the organisations, associations that are against war,
fascism, repression, against the attack on work, wages, health care;
against 50 billion for the war while people have to pay for
medicines, youth are forced to emigrate or can't afford the costs of
their studies and don't have a real future.
In
this demonstration the protest of women was at foremost. Because this
G7 dealt with women; the worst "women's representative" was
Meloni herself, the chief of our government, who tried to remove from
the agenda any reference to women's rights and in particular to the
important and symbolic one, women's freedom of choice, which is the
freedom of abortion.
This
demonstration was a general re-appropriation of the resistance
struggle of the Palestinian people: "We are all Palestinians",
"Netanyahu murderer, hands off the children", was
repeatedly shouted. Representatives of the Palestinian people spoke
wholeheartedly and accounted the enormous disaster of a people
deprived of everything, at risk of starvation, who are also denied
humanitarian aid; they talked about hospitals bombed, about women who
cannot give birth, they talked about 15,000 children murdered in this
war, they talked about the hatred that marks imperialism, the Zionist
State of Israel towards a whole people, so much as they try to
annihilate them with genocide. They also spoke of the solidarity that
is growing and that even the G7, the ultra militarized summit of the
lords of the world, is not able to suffocate the voice of the
opposition, the voice of the people.
The
demonstration also condemned other regimes attending this summit.
The
Erdogan fascist regime, which is waging a war against the Kurdish
people, which filled the country with political prisoners -at the
demonstration there were representatives of the Kurds in Italy who
spoke and conveyed their thanks to the entire protesters and clearly
exposed what is happening in Turkey.
The
Indian regime of Modi, who was welcomed with all honours by Meloni
and other imperialists, it being important for them in the framework
of the inter-imperialist conflict, particularly against China, while
the Italian imperialist state with the Meloni government actively
participates in the maneuvers of the Indo-Pacific pact, is the regime
of massacres, suppression on the Indian masses and particularly the
indigenous populations of the forests, the national minorities of
Kashmir and of the fighters of the people's war led by the Maoists in
many areas of the country. At the demonstration we exposed the nature
and actions of Modi and his regime with panels and speeches about the
nature and actions of Modi, obtaining a strong audience from the
demonstrators and the international press.
The
G7 marked a stage in the support to the inter-imperialist war ongoing
in Ukraine, fuelling the war which transformed Ukraine into a
territory of immense destruction and deaths for many Ukrainians and
Russians. Nevertheless the next day the warlords went to Geneva to
talk about peace in Ukraine.
The
G7 saw the various rulers smiling, embracing each other, while each
of them was thinking of his interests, clearly together with the
others, but also against the others.
From
this point of view, government leaders appeared increasingly weak.
Biden, who risks not being elected in the next American elections, as
well as Macron and Scholz, who come from an electoral defeat. All
these rulers have focused on defending themselves and the imperialist
interests they represent.
In
front of all this, it is important that the voice of the
demonstration and the voice of our organization have been heard loud
and clear. We have dealt a "blow" to imperialism and its
governments. We brought portraits of warlords with bloody faces; we
put up banners, posters denouncing any aspect of their policies; and
with our speeches in the square of Fasano, at the gathering, during
the march, from the stage at the end of the event, we exposed what
was happening and what the G7 really was. Strong, clear speeches,
made from the heart, in close connection with those we represent or
want to represent, speeches which characterized the demonstration in
a proletarian, revolutionary, internationalist and communist way.
There
were more than 1000. Think of the significance it would have had if
tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands from all over the country
had come to Apulia. Think what a slap in the face it would have been
for the warlords, what a slap in the face it would have been for
Meloni. Think of the significance it would have had for the peoples
of the world to know that these rulers, wherever hold their summits,
are surrounded, forced to hear loud and clear the voice of the people
and in particular of the majority of the people, the proletarians,
the poor masses, the youth, women.
Where
were the unions? Trade unions in all countries are increasingly at
the service of the masters and the government. In Italy they talk,
talk, but in fact they are tight like thieves with masters and
ministers at the negotiating tables. These unions did not mobilize
the workers on this occasion, indeed they tried everything to keep
them from knowing anything.
Where
were the parties of the so-called "opposition", busy until
the day before in the electoral campaign talking about the "needs
of the people", about "peace"..?
Where
were the USB, the Si.Cobas? Where were that part of organizations
that define themselves as anti-fascist, anti-imperialist,
internationalist? Where were the No-Tav movement? Why did they miss
this date?
On
the 15th
the two hills emerged clearly: the hill of imperialism, of
capitalism, of warlords, of exploitation, of fascism, of the
oppression of the peoples of the world and the hill that fights to
overthrow this world, to eliminate this system that produces war.
Our
hill says: let's stop the war, let's rebel, let's organize, let's
unite, let's make a great united front, let's unite all the forces
that are against the imperialist war, let's stop the genocide of the
Palestinian people, let's force our governments to break economic,
political and military ties with the State of Israel, we demand the
condemnation of the Israeli regime for war crimes by the
International European Court of Justice, we are for the recognition
of the State of Palestine because in that land, Palestine, it needs a
State, from the river to the sea, we need an international and
internationalist front.
The
demonstration highlighted the existence of an embryonic proletarian,
communist, internationalist party that has to be built, because
politics cannot be delegated to parliamentary parties, it is
necessary that the proletariat, the masses in the streets, have their
own party.
This G7 Summit was a step in the march towards world imperialist war,
and the struggle against it has national and international
significance.
The
50 billion taken from Russia's assets is a true act of war. We are
therefore measuring ourselves against a great event.
In
Fasano, having dismantled the narrative in the small means to get the
key to dismantle it at a national level. It teaches us how to
dismantle the war machine, with which contents and slogans.
Genocide
is a consistent form of the ideology, politics and practice of
imperialism in the current phase of crisis – Paper Tiger
Imperialism. In that, Palestine is emblematic but it is not the
whole. We have to fight imperialism. We in Fasano fought the battle
of the Palestinians, but against the our enemies, striking the
imperialist world system. This is the contribution we gove to the
Palestinians.

In
Fasano it wasn't a question of launching extremist slogans, such as
"Piazzale Loreto..." - some comrades did so. The matter was
not and is not the self-demonstration of who we are. Nor should
Meloni be considered as Mussolini. “Fascism” is different today,
it is modern-fascism.
The
correct, central slogan that spoke to those were around us was:
"Puglia is not war zone, never again a G7 in our land".
Slogans
with an identity but affirmed in connection with the masses were
needed.
At
the G7 proletari comunisti chose to conduct an autonomous action,
taking up our responsibilities in terms of propaganda, agitation,
organization, bringing this battle at a national level in the
workplaces and areas of presence.
In
Fasano we occupied the central square since the morning, brought the
national and international banners and slogans of our organization;
just as at the gathering, during the march, from the stage at the end
of the event, we brought the general and particular line of the
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist proletarian and communist vanguard, in what
was not only part of the large movement of solidarity with Palestine
ongoing throughout the country, but also the most important event of
national and international significance that took place in Italy,
particularly this year.
What
entered the scene in Fasano is the embryo of a genuine revolutionary
Party. We represented the most organized form of the proletarian and
people’s voice in the field of opposition against war and fascism.
We
were an internationalist contingent, not only for having joined the
internationalist aspect of the event, with Palestine at the centre,
but for having brought Turkey and India regimes to the attention of
all the participants and all the mass media.
The
Party that we are building in its form of propaganda and agitation,
which is the center of our activity in this year, has emerged in a
clear, sharp form during the demonstration, without any shadow of
sectarianism, ideologism, self-referencing and self-propaganda.
We brought the slogans: against the imperialist war for the socialist
revolution; the imperialist war can only be stopped if the people's
war advances; all summarized by the most significant banner of the
entire event…
We exposed the real nature of the Meloni government, in a way which
in a certain sense was the most incisive and direct against the
Meloni government, hitting the mark and provoking the reaction and
attack of the entire bourgeois press and mass media.
In the demonstration we were a vanguard Party with a mass line, and
the mass line led by a Party is a Maoist weapon to address and gather
the support and potential of the masses.
It was the result of the good work done in the red base in Taranto,
joining the work of the anti-G7 regional coordination.
Our comrades came at the demonstration with a vanguard spirit and
great efforts, aware of the great work done in Palermo and
Bergamo-Milan to put the mobilization against the G7 on the agenda,
in a difficult situation and daring to go against the tide.
We openly fought the desertion by the radical parliamentary and
extra-parliamentary left, by base trade unionism in its two largest
wings, the right USB and the "left" Si.Cobas. On this
occasion, their economism and false extremism showed their true
nature, and that they are, in spite of many comrades who are part of
them, useless tools not only for the construction of the party but
for the construction of the united, anti-imperialist, anti-fascist,
anti-capitalist front.
As well as is is clear that, although there were many students and
women, their national and organized presence was certainly missing.
As regards the women, it is yet another proof of how important and
strategically decisive the role and organization of the revolutionary
proletarian feminist movement are.
We must fully valorise the demonstration and our action in it on a
national scale and make it a ground for the advancement of the entire
movement and in particular of the class and our organization.
Of course, what the demonstration has marked is the persistent crisis
of the working class and the still inability by the struggle movement
in general, see the resounding absence from Naples, to find a path to
a real recovery. The social and political passivity, whose only
signal is electoral abstentionism, the subordination of the entire
movement to the interests of the bourgeoisie in the factories and
workplaces, the rule of the ruling class ideas in the mass
consciousness and of the wrong positions and ideas also in those
sectors of political opposition and union and social struggles, all
that shows the actual limit of consciousness and organization that we
have to face.
The demonstration in Fasano encourages us, it must serve to fight
pessimism, ideological and practical backwardness, subjective
shortcomings, keeping attached to particularisms, which continue to
exist in our ranks, which act as an internal enemy to our work.
Now we have to continue. We are really strong and influential when we
act as a united group in the manner of Lenin, assimilate in the field
mlm worker training, draw lessons from practice.
It is the time of the plan for the Party, of the new Theses, of the
program, of agitation and propaganda, to organize the Party of the
revolution.
