pour le Debat - Drapeau Rouge : Sur la grande lutte de classes en France
Ce communiqué est publié au nom de la rédaction du Drapeau Rouge et traite du grand mouvement de lutte de classes qui a lieu en France.
Depuis le 19 Janvier, une dure lutte de classes a pris la place centrale des préoccupations en France.
Elle a commencé autour du projet de réforme du système de retraites par le gouvernement. Cette nouvelle loi vise à intensifier l’exploitation du prolétariat en rallongeant la durée de travail en fin de carrière, de la même façon que Macron a développé depuis 2017 l’apprentissage pour le même objectif en début de carrière. Les prolétaires de France doivent travailler de 14 à 64 ans (et plus !). Les retraites sont un fond important de plusieurs centaines de milliards d’euros par an, sur lequel la bourgeoisie veut absolument rogner.
Cette nouvelle loi anti-populaire, qui se place dans la lignée des réformes menées depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années par les gouvernements successifs (droite, gauche) rencontre une opposition massive. 90 % des actifs sont contre, et une large majorité de la population en général. Cela signifie une opposition des masses populaires dans toutes leurs composantes, le prolétariat évidemment, mais aussi derrière lui la petite bourgeoisie : comme le prouvent la participation de syndicats de cadres ainsi que la popularité des manifestations auprès des intellectuels ou du monde de la culture.
Ainsi, des millions de personnes ont pris les rues, culminant dans l’appel du 7 mars, suivi par le plus grand nombre et rassemblant jusqu’à 3,5 millions dans les manifestations, sans parler des blocages et occupations. Le 16 mars, l’annonce du recours au 49.3 par Elisabeth Borne a mis le feu aux poudres. Pendant plusieurs jours, ont eu lieu des révoltes continues dans les principales grandes villes françaises, et des manifestations sauvages dans beaucoup de villes moyennes et petites. Le 23 mars, la mobilisation a atteint à nouveau les sommets du 7 mars, c’est-à-dire le mouvement social le plus important depuis 30 ans en France.
Pour comprendre ce mouvement, il faut distinguer les « deux collines », c’est-à-dire les deux camps : la révolution et la contre-révolution. Il faut distinguer les amis et les ennemis.
Qui dirige le mouvement et contre qui ?

US invites authoritarian far-right regimes to 'Summit for Democracy'
US invites authoritarian far-right regimes to 'Summit for Democracy'
The US government organized a conference of its allies which it misleadingly called a "Summit for Democracy", but which actually featured numerous anti-democratic, far-right regimes.
The State Department invited 120 global leaders to participate in the summit on March 29 and 30. They did so virtually, via video calls.
Several of the heads of state who spoke represent governments that even Western officials, corporate media outlets, and mainstream human rights organizations have admitted are authoritarian, including Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Andrzej Duda of Poland, and Narendra Modi of India.
The Joe Biden administration also invited Pakistan's unelected coup regime, which came to power following a US-backed regime-change operation against democratically elected Prime Minister Imran Khan in April 2022. (Islamabad, however, decided not to attend, as it faces mass protests and instability at home.)
Italy's far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni participated in the summit as well. Meloni is a defender of former fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. She started her political career as the leader of the youth wing of a fascist political party founded by war criminals from Mussolini's regime.
Meloni's far-right political party Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) still uses the same symbols and colors of Mussolini's fascist movement. An important leader of her party has a bust of the late dictator in his house, and was investigated for doing Nazi salutes.
The Biden administration organized the first so-called "Summit for Democracy" in 2021, in attempt to unify US allies in a bloc to wage a new cold war on China and Russia, which were not invited to either summit.
These intentions were made obvious when the US pressured all invitees to sign a joint statement denouncing Russia over the proxy war in Ukraine. The left-wing governments in Brazil and Mexico refused to support Washington's denunciation of Moscow.
For its part, China's Foreign Ministry condemned the summit as an attempt to "draw lines between countries in the world according to US criteria and interfere in their affairs based on US interests", in a way that "reflects how arrogant, intolerant, selfish and domineering the US has always been, and how it contravenes and tramples on democracy as part of the common values of humanity".
The US government exposed its cynical political designs by inviting Ukraine and Taiwan to participate in the summit, despite the fact that Taiwan island is not a country, but rather a province of the People's Republic of China.
When the US government normalized relations with China in 1972, it signed the first of three communiqués, in which it legally recognized that Taiwan is part of China.
Violating its formal diplomatic commitments, the Biden administration publicly illustrated Washington's support for separatists in China's Taiwan province by inviting them to both of the so-called "Summits for Democracy".
Ukraine's leader Volodymy Zelensky spoke at the conference as well, in spite of his brutal attack on democracy at home. Zelensky's regime has banned all communist and socialist parties, while imposing some of the most aggressive anti-worker legislation in the world, suspending collective bargaining rights and essentially making it illegal to form a union.
Even the New York Times reluctantly acknowledged that Ukraine has imposed authoritarian control over the media. While Zelensky's supporters maintain that this is necessary due to the ongoing war, his draconian crackdown began well before Russia invaded. In 2021, Zelensky's regime banned critical media outlets deemed to be "pro-Russian", while arbitrarily persecuting and arresting opposition politicians.
Two NATO members were not invited to the so-called "Summit for Democracy": Türkiye (formerly known as Turkey) and Hungary. This was clearly a politically motivated sign of disapproval by the Biden administration, because the two countries have tried to balance the West against Russia, maintaining good relations with both sides.
The democratically elected socialist governments in Venezuela and Nicaragua were not invited either. Instead, Washington invited right-wing US-sponsored opposition activists from both Latin American countries, including Lesther Alemán, who played a major role in a violent coup attempt in Nicaragua in 2018.
Also participating in the summit was the notorious CIA cutout the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which Washington has used to meddle in foreign countries all across the planet, organizing regime-change operations and funding "color revolutions".
As a key foreign-policy strategy, the Biden administration has weaponized rhetoric about "democracy" to advance US geopolitical interests.
In his first State of the Union address in 2022, Biden claimed that Washington's new cold war on China and Russia was a “battle between democracy and autocracies”.
But European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said otherwise in a speech in October, criticizing the deceptive "democracies vs. authoritarians" framing.

"On our side, there are a lot of authoritarian regimes", Borrell admitted.
"We cannot say we are the democracies, and the ones which follow us are also democracies. That is not true", added the top EU diplomat.
One of the first speakers at Biden's 2023 Summit for Democracy, as it opened on March 29, was the far-right leader of the Israeli apartheid regime, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu has served as prime minister for more than 15 of the 27 years since 1996. Today, his far-right coalition government includes members of literal fascist parties.
All major mainstream Western media outlets have acknowledged that Netanyahu's regime is authoritarian, including the BBC, Washington Post, New York Times, AP, Guardian, and Foreign Affairs.
In fact, Netanyahu spoke at Biden's summit while mass protests were going on in Israel against his authoritarian regime.
Israel's most influential newspaper Haaretz - which is essentially the country's equivalent of the New York Times, promoting a centrist liberal perspective - published an article warning, "'Israel’s Government Has neo-Nazi Ministers. It Really Does Recall Germany in 1933': Holocaust historian Daniel Blatman says he is astounded at how quickly Israel is hurtling toward fascism".
Biden's "Summit for Democracy" also featured the far-right president of Poland, Andrzej Duda.
Many Western mainstream media outlets have admitted that Poland is run by an authoritarian regime.
Even former US President Barack Obama stated in an interview on CNN in 2021 that NATO and EU members Poland and Hungary "now essentially have become authoritarian”.
However, while Poland's far-right authoritarian regime was invited to Biden's "Summit for Democracy", Hungary was not. The reason why is clear: Poland is virulently anti-Russia, so it was welcomed; whereas Hungary has tried to balance good relations with both the West and Russia, so it was the only EU member that was not invited.
Mainstream NGOs that are routinely cited in the Western media to attack NATO's adversaries have admitted that far-right authoritarianism is growing closer to home.
The Civil Liberties Union for Europe - a major civil society organization that is similar to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in the United States - warned that Poland and Hungary are increasingly authoritarian. Both are "seizing further control of the justice system, civil society and media, while cutting basic human rights and fuelling divisions by scapegoating migrants and other minority groups".
The Western government-funded International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) has warned that the Polish regime is violently cracking down on protesters and arbitrarily detaining anti-fascist activists, while allowing fascist extremists to use Nazi symbols.
Duda's far-right Law and Justice (PiS) party reportedly tapped the phones of opposition politicians and journalists to illegally spy on them.
Joining Netanyahu on the opening panel of Biden's 2023 Summit for Democracy was India's far-right Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi is a longtime member of a fascist paramilitary group, the RSS, whose early leaders were inspired by Nazi Germany, praising Adolf Hitler's "purging the country of Semitic races" as a "good lesson for us in Hindustan to learn and profit by".
Before he became prime minister, Modi governed the state of Gujarat, where high school textbooks honored "Hitler, the Supremo” and the "Internal Achievements of Nazism".
As governor of Gujarat in 2002, Modi oversaw a massive pogrom, in which hundreds of Muslims were killed. (As prime minister, Modi censored a documentary exposing his role in the massacre.)
India's far-right ruling party, BJP, promotes an extreme Hindu-nationalist ideology that sees Muslims and other religious minorities as inferior, second- or third-class citizens, and heavily discriminates against them.
Some of Modi's political allies have openly called for overturning India's secular constitution and turning the state into a "Hindu rashtra”: a theocratic regime.
In fact, just a few days before Modi spoke at the so-called "Summit for Democracy", his government launched an authoritarian attack on the leader of India's political opposition, Rahul Gandhi.
On March 23, Gandhi was expelled from India's parliament and sentenced to two years in prison over fraudulent charges of defamation, due to a comment Gandhi made in 2019 in which he referred to Prime Minister Modi and his wealthy oligarch allies as "thieves".
The politically motivated charges seek to bar Gandhi from office, effectively paving the way for BJP and far-right Hindu nationalists to hand themselves victory in the upcoming 2024 election, without significant opposition.
Many mainstream media outlets have acknowledged that Modi's regime is authoritarian, including the New York Times, the BBC, NBC News, Foreign Policy, the New Yorker, and The Diplomat.
But Modi was eagerly welcomed at Biden's "Summit for Democracy", because the United States is desperate to recruit India for its new cold war on China, and hopes to weaken New Delhi's positive relations with Russia.
India is part of the BRICS system, but it is also a member of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue or Quad, an anti-China military alliance led by the United States, known commonly as the "Asian NATO".
In fact, India joined BRICS before Modi came to power, under the previous government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, of the Indian National Congress party.


Former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo revealed that Washington had tried to use Modi in India and his far-right counterpart Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil to disrupt and divide the BRICS system.
Former diplomat M.K. Bhadrakumar has cautioned that India is the weakest link in the BRICS system, because its government supports Washington's "so-called 'rules-based order', which is a metaphor for the political ideology of the US as the dominant state and 'lone superpower' in the 1990s".
BRICS faces a paradox that, while it grows, it also fails internal conflicts, "and the main reason for this is India’s unwillingness to work with China as leaders of economic growth", Bhadrakumar wrote.
Modi's "India feels uneasy that the centre of gravity in BRICS is poised to shift further to the left of centre", he said, and, "Being an acolyte of the US-led 'rules-based order', India faces the spectre of isolation".
The United States sees these contradictions, and hopes to exploit them to its advantage. That explains why India was invited to the so-called "Summit for Democracy", despite being overtly anti-democratic.
The presence of so many authoritarian, far-right leaders clearly demonstrated the cynical political goals behind Washington's Summit for Hypocrisy.

Action of TKP/ML in Gülsuyu,
Militante der Kommunistischen Partei der Türkei/Marxisten-Leninisten (TKP/ML) führten am 24. März eine Aktion gegen die Polizei in Gülsuyu, einem Stadtteil von Istanbul, Türkei, durch, um die Polizei für ihre Verbrechen gegen die Bevölkerung zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Sie hängten ein Transparent auf, blockierten die Straße und führten einen Bombenangriff gegen die Polizei in derselben Straße durch. In einer veröffentlichten Erklärung warnen sie die Polizei davor, den Terror gegen die Bevölkerung fortzusetzen, da sie weiterhin Aktionen gegen sie durchführen wird. Die TKP/ML führt seit Anfang der 1970er Jahre einen lang andauernden Volkskrieg in der Türkei.
Der Staatsterror nimmt vor allem in den Gebieten zu, in denen revolutionäre Aktionen entwickelt werden. In der Erklärung schreiben sie, dass die Revolutionäre und Bewohner von Gülsuyu seit 8 bis 10 Jahren Ziel des zunehmenden Staatsterrors durch die Polizei und Drogenbanden sind. Die Polizei versucht jeden Tag, Revolutionäre zu Kollaborateuren zu machen und schreckt auch nicht davor zurück, sie zu foltern, um zu bekommen, was sie will. Gegenwärtig versucht der Staat, die Forderungen des Volkes nach dem jüngsten Erdbeben und den bevorstehenden Wahlen zu vertuschen, indem er den so genannten "Ausnahmezustand" und die Zensur der Medien sowie Terror und Gewalt einsetzt, um die Beziehungen des Volkes zu den Revolutionären zu kappen und sie dazu zu bringen, am Wahlzirkus teilzunehmen.
Die Aktivisten rufen insbesondere die Jugend von Gülsuyu dazu auf, sich gegen die Angriffe des reaktionären Staates zu organisieren und rufen die Kommunisten dazu auf, die Polizei zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen und es ihr zu erschweren, auf die Straße zu gehe

La posizione e l'azione del MFPR, organismo generato del PCm Italia, nella fase politica in corso
I mass media, i partiti del governo e del parlamento usano le donne al potere per confermare il loro barbaro sistema e dimostrare, alla faccia della cruda e grave realta’, che la condizione delle donne emerge ed avanza. E fanno riferimenti/esempi di ruolo delle donne in questa societa’ per tutti i gusti.
Si azzarda a parlare di tematiche presenti tra le donne Lgbt+ senza capirne niente, ma solo per affermare di fatto che chi sei lo decide Dio ed è indiscutibile. Mentre riprende, per ora sottotraccia e lasciando campo libero ad altre ministre o ad esponenti del centro/destra, la campagna per fare figli più figli per il capitale e per la patria, perchè le donne valgono, vengono “pesate” principalmente sulla base dei figli che fanno (figli che, evidentemente per la Meloni, poi si possono portare senza problemi dovunque: dagli incontri internazionali con tanto di assistenti del G20, al lavoro in fabbrica o mentre ti ammazzi a far le pulizie nelle scuole, o nei lavori nella logistica, o mentre stai alla cassa in un supermercato...). E dietro questa campagna riappare l’onda nera dell’attacco al diritto d’aborto. Viene cosi’ alimentato l’humus/clima maschilista che a livello di massa si trasforma inevitabilmente anche in violenza sessuale/femminicidi contro tante donne, la cui libertà di scelta, di decidere è messa sotto attacco.
Quello che differenzia la Meloni dai precedenti governi non sono tanto le misure economiche/politiche quanto il carico ideologico, culturale reazionario.
Il suo “duello” con la Meloni è roba di “Palazzo” che non ha nulla a che fare con la lotta della maggioranza delle donne contro questo governo.
Ma tutto questo mette soltanto in luce che in questa società capitalista la classe distingue gli individui più che il sesso.
Per questo diciamo: Non in nostro nome!
Per questo, come abbiamo gridato il 26 novembre nella grande manifestazione, diciamo: “Meloni fascista noi donne ti farem la guerra!”; e diciamo al Pd: noi donne non ci facciamo fregare, il nostro peggior nemico/ostacolo nella lotta è il riformismo che vuole deviare, frenare l’avanzamento della lotta delle donne operaie, lavoratrici, precarie, immigrate, disoccupate, povere; che non può dare alcuna alternativa alle donne che vogliono cambiare tutta la vita e lottare per un’altra societa’, un altro potere, quello proletario e socialista.
E’ una nuova, necessaria sfida/rottura che abbiamo d’avanti: contro padroni, contro il nero governo Meloni che vuole far diventare per le donne il moderno medioevo una normalità. Ma si illudono!
Dalle lotte immediate ai "bi/sogni" della maggioranza delle donne che non hanno niente da conservare in questo sistema sociale ma hanno ogni catena da spezzare, le donne proletarie sono la trincea più determinata per combattere il sistema capitalista putrefatto, patriarcale. Ragazze, donne, compagne nelle manifestazioni contro la guerra imperialista, contro il capitale/imperialismo inquinante, contro la repressione che vuole condannare a morte chi osa lottare contro lo Stato, come Alfredo Cospito, nelle mobilitazioni a fianco delle rivolte delle donne iraniane, ecc., sono gia’ oggi in prima linea.
Le lavoratrici dicono che non ce la fanno più per il carico di lavoro, le pesanti condizioni sul lavoro e fuori dal lavoro, nelle case.
In questi mesi siamo intervenute a Mirafiori, alla Stellantis di Melfi, alla Beretta, alla Montello, ecc.; abbiamo parlato con le operaie che raccontano di una situazione in fabbrica molto grave e pesante per i ritmi più alti, i carichi di lavoro, per l’incertezza quotidiana del lavoro, perchè non sanno neanche quando vengono chiamate a lavorare e quando invece devono stare a casa in cassa integrazione, per il taglio del salario, le difficoltà concrete di conciliare il lavoro in fabbrica e il lavoro di cura in famiglia. E poi c’è anche divisioni/contraddizioni con gli operai che non sono esenti dalle influenze ideologiche maschiliste, sessiste.
La pesantezza del lavoro, che riguarda tanti altri settori di lavoratrici e l’incertezza lavorativa, l’impoverimento che colpisce soprattutto le donne (si è cancellato il reddito di cittadinanza che interessa circa il 52,7% di donne) uccide sul piano fisico e psicologico; ma per le donne il lavoro è importante perchè vuol dire anche indipendenza economica ed emancipazione, vuol dire prendere coscienza di che cosa sono i padroni, di che cos’è questo sistema, significa anche unirsi con le altre lavoratrici e quindi sentirsi più forti.
In questa situazione a volte si pensa che ‘non c’è più niente da fare’. Ma le compagne del Movimento femminista proletario rivoluzionario, da anni con coraggio trasformano la denuncia, il grido contro sfruttamento, oppressione, discriminazione, in lotta.
Oggi un coraggioso esempio arriva dalle operaie della Beretta che lottano in fabbrica. Queste operaie, con l’Mfpr, hanno organizzato un’assemblea operaia a fine ottobre a Trezzo; un’assemblea diversa, gestita direttamente da loro, in cui hanno lanciato un messaggio di protagonismo autonomo delle donne lavoratrici nella lotta/guerra contro i padroni e questo governo. Un messaggio di unita’ verso le altre donne, lavoratrici. Un‘assemblea che ha mostrato che quando le donne lavoratrici si organizzano e lottano, anche se queste lotte partono da aspetti immediati: il salario, le ore, la salute e sicurezza, inevitabilmente portano nella lotta tutta la condizione come donne.
Nella marea del movimento delle donne, noi chiamiamo le operaie più coscienti, le lavoratrici più attive, le immigrate che subiscono un triplice sfruttamento, ad unirsi, ad essere la voce forte, di classe nello scontro contro il governo, i padroni, lo Stato.
A Roma il 26 novembre, alla manifestazione promossa da Nudm che è stata la più grossa mobilitazione in Italia, l’immediata reazione repressiva della polizia/Digos che voleva sequestrare, strappare il nostro striscione, alla nostra presenza, come contingente ancora piccolo del Mfpr, ma unito a spezzoni di donne, immigrate di Roma impegnate sul loro territorio nelle lotte per la casa, per il lavoro, come a realtà di studentesse; la strillante canea della stampa, di esponenti del governo, del parlamento di FdI e altri partiti che hanno gridato al pericolo del ritorno degli “anni di piombo”, di “grave minaccia” alla Meloni, di “inaudita violenza delle donne ad una donna”; tutto questo ha dimostrato che avevamo ben colto nel segno.
E’ necessario comprendere, a dare sostegno a questa voce e lotta differente, che indica un’altra strada, un’altra lotta, che mette chiaramente sul piatto la prospettiva rivoluzionaria in cui le donne proletarie che sono colpite e oppresse a 360° siano la forza più conseguente, che unisce e si unisce a tutte le donne per l’altra strada.
Questo l’Mfpr lo fa anche combattendo posizioni nel movimento femminista, espresse in particolare da Nudm, che spesso invece di aiutare la lotta delle donne la frenano, la deviano con una linea/pratica a parole radicali ma di fatto riformiste, che soffocano la lotta di classe esaltando solo la lotta di genere, e che pongono come principale di fatto il cambiamento culturale. In occasione dello sciopero delle donne, sui posti di lavoro invece di organizzare le lavoratrici fuori e contro i sindacati confederali che dove sono presenti stanno boicottando l’8 marzo, Nudm fa appello anche a loro ad organizzare lo sciopero, mentre trasforma la lotta in kermesse di piazza.
SPEZZIAMO OGNI CATENA! ABBIAMO IL NOSTRO “ESERCITO” FEMMINISTA PROLETARIO RIVOLUZIONARIO DA ORGANIZZARE!
