Dynamique Unitaire Panafricaine
The anti‑imperialist and anti‑fascist conference in Caracas is taking place on a global scale in a general climate marked by the intensification of inter-imperialist rivalries. Everywhere in the world, imperialism is on a crusade in the form of hegemonic wars, predatory wars, nourished by a will to occupation, territorial annexation, and plundering of wealth…
We are witnessing the unraveling of the instruments that the dominant powers themselves had put in place for the management of the world. Thus international law is undergoing a profound transformation into the law of the strongest. The crusade of the U.S. administration against the rights of minorities is fuelled by a xenophobia constructed by a discourse of hatred.
And as if the picture were not bleak enough, the right of peoples to self-determination has never been so much called into question. Sovereignty now belongs to the calends, so to speak, so much do the various powers consider themselves entitled to possess lands, peoples, and their riches as if they were personal property. The law of the strongest has become the principal rule in world geopolitics.
No part of the world is spared by this policy of predation, of the sacking of the gains of popular struggles to build here and there more free, egalitarian and progressive human societies.
This conference, held here in Caracas, is emblematic of the resistance of peoples who refuse to serve as a stepping stone for U.S. power, among others.
Above all it is the conference of a people, of an anti-imperialist power, resolutely turned toward the construction of socialism that confronts one of the most fierce representatives and defenders of the global imperialist system. The Trump administration cannot tolerate seeing such strong resistance, for it truly constitutes a challenge: a people united around its leaders to take charge of its destiny, with dignity and conscious sacrifice, to build for its own benefit the model that suits it best―socialism―drawing inspiration from the history and struggles of peoples for their liberation throughout the world.
Indeed, resistances are manifold across the world. Nowhere, not even in the so‑called bastions of imperialism, do the working classes and the most exploited strata refrain from innovating in means of resistance and aspiring to something other than poverty as the common lot of the system.
Such a dynamic is also topical in Africa in particular, where political consciousness is maturing, notably within a youth that seeks to take part in attempts to change African society, which is undergoing a political, ideological, social, economic and cultural crisis. Such effervescence must be organized under the aegis of parties or organizations resolutely anti‑imperialist and anti-fascist to prevent any co-optation of this youthful energy, which is useful for the conquest of true sovereignty for the peoples of the continent.
This resistance also constitutes an example for other peoples of the world, confronted with the same hegemonic ambitions of predation, pillage, and domination by the globalized capitalist model.
Faithful to its statutes and to its strategic objectives, such as contributing to anti-imperialist and liberation struggles on the African continent, in territories of Afro-descendants and in the world,
The Dynamique Unitaire Panafricaine calls upon all anti‑imperialist and anti‑fascist organizations gathered at this Caracas conference, and all other organizations of the same nature in the world, animated by the same will to confront the iniquitous capitalist‑imperialist system to:
1. Resist with all their energies all wars and other maneuvers of the system which, ultimately, seek to impose exploitation on all peoples by amplifying everywhere war, terrorism and all kinds of crises from which it profits;
2. Support and amplify all popular initiatives of resistance, in the image of the Paris Commune or the Soviets, which were notable advances in the appropriation by the working classes of the instruments of their own liberation;
3. Provide all the support that the Venezuelan people and their leaders need to contain the aggression and consolidate resistance, and to improve socialist social construction;
4. Build an internationalist solidarity of class struggle by consolidating the anti‑imperialist and anti‑fascist front, composed of genuine democratic, progressive and revolutionary forces in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania.
Our contribution to the victory of one people here serves as a lever for the continuation of struggles elsewhere.
Together let us close ranks against the system that leads nations and peoples to their ruin.
Long live the Venezuelan people and their leaders in their multifaceted struggle!
Long live the anti‑fascist and anti‑imperialist front!
Long live the unity of peoples fighting for their liberation!
