There
are new indicators showing structural crisis of capitalism is deepening and
reaching extreme levels.
The imperialist capitalist system, which drives
humanity to the edge of the abyss, leads to the expansion and spread of
imperialist wars, while dragging the world into global climate catastrophe
whose terrible consequences can be seen in Australia.
In this context, ISL strongly condemns US
imperialism’s actions in the Middle East that provoke war and regress the
revolutionary popular movements. While the United States has eliminated Qassem
Suleimani with an assassination, it forces Iran to respond and then threatens
to retaliate with greater attacks. Clearly, US imperialism wants war.
We know very well what US demands will bring to
the region. When the United States intervened in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and
Syria for regime change, millions were killed and these countries were thrown
into the bottomless pits of misery. Now, with the possible attack on Iran, not
only Iran but also the whole Middle East will be thrown into the fire. Because
of the war policies of US imperialism, ethno-religious enmity will rise in the
Middle East and reactionary forces gain strength everywhere.
Whenever the laborers raise struggle in the
Middle East, US imperialism is poisoning the process. Finally, in Iran, Iraq
and Lebanon, there have been revolt of the laborers that regressed exploiters,
enemies of the peoples, religious authorities and ethno-religious polarization.
However, the interventions of US imperialism came to the help of these
parasites. Rebellions of the laborers are the only hope of all countries. The
nightmare of the US imperialism is that these revolts mature politically and
adopt an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist attitude. Therefore, the common
goal of all imperialist interventions in the Middle East is to prevent a united
class movement and organization that transcends ethnic and religious divisions.
In addition, the US aggression gives good
opportunities for to the mullahs, who are stalemated by rebellions. Suleimani’s assassination and Trump’s war threats create
new opportunities for “national unity” and “national
defense” propaganda in Iran, and offer new opportunities for the Mullahs.
In 1980, US imperialism led Saddam Hussein, who were former ally of the US at
the time, to wage war on Iran that led to the consolidation of the Islamic
regime in Iran. Today, the greatest support for the Mullahs comes from US
imperialism once again. Overthrowing the Mullahs in Iran must be the work of working
class and the youth. US imperialism must go away!
In
the Middle East, the masses want jobs, want bread, and want a decent life. For
this, they take to the street, fight and pay the price. However, these demands
cannot exceed the high and hard walls of the imperialist capitalist system. It
will not be possible to move forward without targeting the system altogether
and trying to create an internationalist labor movement. Without this
perspective, it is inevitable the mass movements to have a limit. What we need
is a revolutionary organization. The defeat of the reactionism can only
be possible through the construction of the revolutionary leadership of the
working class and the youth. The only alternative is socialism. We call for all
the laborers and young people in the Middle East to contact with us to fight
together under the banner of the ISL.
The US, take your bloody hands off the Middle East!
Long live Socialist Middle East!
Long live the revolutionary movement of Iranian laborers!
