Eastern Initiative
Comrades and friends,
We would like to congratulate you on holding this conference of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform in Venezuela and send the warmest greetings to the organizers and participants!
This event is taking place at a critical historical moment, on the eve of World War III, in a country at the frontline of the struggle against imperialism. The brave people of Venezuela, under the leadership of Chávez and Maduro, have stood up to US imperialism and consequently become a target of both covert and open, economic and military aggression. We stand with Venezuela and express our full solidarity with the Venezuelan people and the Venezuelan government.
Comrades and friends,
Recent developments have confirmed the correctness of the analysis presented by the World Anti-Imperialist Platform since its first meeting in 2022. The world is accelerating towards polarization between the imperialist camp, represented by the forces of Western capital fighting for complete domination, and the anti-imperialist camp centred on socialist China and allied countries defending their national interests against imperialism.
We are entering a new era of wars and revolutions. For us in Eastern Europe, it is crucial now to unite everyone under the banner of resistance and anti-imperialism, regardless of political orientation. The imperialist bourgeoisie has already begun mobilization and is rallying all possible opportunist forces under its banner of Western European chauvinism, including so-called left forces. Even those who call themselves “communists” often answer this call, showing their true faces.
Our population has been held hostage by the comprador bourgeois administration, which is grooming our people to be used as cannon fodder against Russia. The people are waking up, but it could be too late to prevent an escalation. Under these circumstances, we continue our mission against imperialism and its lackeys for national and social liberation.
We wish you a successful and inspiring event.
The people united will never be defeated!
