An International Conference at the service of the World Revolution
By La Marx International 5/5/23
The International Online Conference of La Marx International convened on April 30 was a step forward in supporting revolutions, mobilizations, insurrections, and struggles that are sweeping the world. Today, support for the world revolutionary process is fundamental. Militants and activists from Paris to Montreal, and from Lima to Calcutta, passing through Sao Paulo, Mexico City, New York, or Boston were participating in the deliberations of the International Conference.
The
meeting addressed the axes of the world political situation with the
objective of supporting the masses of the world who are led by the
National Liberation Revolution of the people of Ukraine, and the
enormous national mobilization of the people of France against the
capitalist-imperialist government of Macron. , confront imperialist
capitalism. In this case,
the online Conference addressed a report that consisted of 3 fundamental
points or axes, around which the debates took place.
The first axis of the report addressed the situation of the crisis of capitalism and the world economy. The
situation of collapse of capitalism causes a terrible situation of
hunger, unemployment, pandemics and environmental destruction, which
millions of people suffer on the five continents, and the report
addressed the wave of bank failures that had as its center the fall of
the Corporation Global Credit Suisse which deserved a Bailout for the 1%
aristocracy that dominates global capitalism. The
crisis in Switzerland, once a bastion of security and stability of
capitalism, today bankrupt, is the expression of the seriousness of the
crisis.
The 1% oligarchs continue to receive billions of dollars in bailouts to support their failing corporations and banks. The Conference ratified that it is time to put an end to this situation, and that the terminal crisis of capitalism shows that it is time to coordinate the world's struggles to impose Global Socialism.
The second axis of the report addressed the
analysis of the mass insurrection that is shaking the world, in
response to the terrible situation caused by the collapse of capitalism.
Led by the masses of
Ukraine, who are defeating Putin's fascist invasion, and led by the
workers and people of France, who are waging a true insurrection against
the Macron government, the masses of the world are waging a 3rd global
revolutionary wave. against capitalism.
In
turn, the wave of mobilizations in France are at the forefront of a
powerful strike movement that is shaking all of Europe with the
proletariats of Germany, England, Italy, and Spain at the forefront. They
show that a powerful union activism is developing in the United States
that expresses the rise of the American working class, the most powerful
in the world. Together
with the mass mobilizations in Israel, the masses defeated the
Bonapartist attempt of the government, in Palestine the masses continue
to develop the 3rd Intifada, this time, developed by the Palestinians
who live inside Israel.
In
Venezuela, important workers' strikes have developed, led by teachers,
the teachers, while the workers' and popular struggles travel the world
from Hong Kong to Chile, from Catalonia to Iraq,"Workers of the world, unite". We must support and join forces to support the mass insurrections that are cornering the capitalist governments.
The 3rd axis of the report addressed the analysis of the serious crisis that the world left is going through. The report raised the situation that in the midst of this global revolutionthe panorama of the world left is one of disintegration and deep crisis. The
explanation is that the left groups have adopted the reformist strategy
of the Progressive International (IP) headed by Bernie Sanders in the
United States, Podemos in Spain, Syriza in Greece or PSOL in Brazil, or
experiences of the Popular Front government the betrayal of the Chilean
left in the Boric government, the Popular Revolutionary Alternative
(APR) of Venezuela or the experience of the FITU in Argentina,
experiences that demonstrate the disaster into which the world left that
has broken with Marxism is sinking, and betrays the struggles of the
working class throughout the world.
We
cite as examples these groups and organizations that prioritize
electoralism, adaptation to the norms of the bourgeois regime and the
unions governed by the capitalist state. This
is what we observe in all the currents of the world left that, faced
with the open situation in France, refuse to state that the struggle for
a workers' and popular government is necessary. The dictatorships of Maduro in Venezuela, Díaz Canel in Cuba or Xi-Jinping in China who disguise themselves as "socialists" have abandoned Marxism and become corrupt in favor of multinationals.
By joining the strategy of the Progressive International, the process of social democratization developed by these groups has led them to become reformist organizations, which has caused thousands of honest militants to leave these organizations. That is why it becomes fundamental, and necessary, to move forward in resolving the crisis that the world left is going through, a crisis that can be overcome by returning to Marxism.
It is a fight for the world regroupment of the revolutionaries that advances with each initiative that we develop in all the countries every day. As part of this battle, let us recover the revolutionary strategy and the classic Marxist tradition of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, James Cannon and Nahuel Moreno. In the first place, the fight is to recover internationalism, which today involves supporting the workers and the people of Ukraine in their fight against Putin's fascist invasion. We need to resume the internationalist tradition of the Simón Bolívar Brigade, promoted by Nahuel Moreno in the 1970s for the Nicaraguan Revolution, to lead the world revolution to victory, and defeat the policies of capitalist governments around the world.
Special
guests of the International Online Conference were the comrades of the
Independent Left from Ireland, as well as comrades from Venezuela,
teachers from the state of Carabobo who have led important strikes
against Maduro, as well as workers from Mexico who are activists of the
combative Section 22 of the CNTE in the Magisterium. Leaders
of the International Platform count the Feminicides and Disappearances
of Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, as well as the presence of comrades
from France who are active in the CGT of the Sorbonne was very
important. Also present
were representatives from Sri Lanka, leaders such as Wilfred Silva and
Don Samantha who coordinate the important website Asia Commune, which
has correspondents in India, Pakistan, China, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and
other Asian countries.
This
is how militants from The Marx International of Montreal, in Canada,
also intervened, who located the situation of the workers in the
imperialist countries. Comrade Vladimir Cosios from Ecuador raised the fight against Machismo, and for Justice for Valentina Cosios. From Chile, the comrades denounced the betrayal of the Boric government and the Chilean left to the people.
Comrades from New York who were present as sympathizers of The Marx International expressed the situation of the workers and the American people in the United States. The presence of numerous activists who were able to express their points of view and different positions in different languages are the demonstration of the progress of the International Regroupment of the revolutionaries that we are carrying out from La Marx International.
The International Online Conference of La Marx International convened on April 30 was a step forward, which with a lot of effort, sacrifice and work we were able to achieve thanks to the work of the militants of La Marx International in the countries where we are working intensively. in supporting revolutions, mobilizations, insurrections, and struggles that are sweeping the world. An experience that will be repeated in a few months, one of the resolutions of the meeting, the permanent call to work together in favor of the International Regrouping, which in the next online Conferences that we will be leading will continue to mark the path of the advancement of the construction of a Revolutionary International organization, on the path of the struggle for Global Socialism.
