Luca A. Rodilosso | Italian Communist Party
Dear comrades,
On behalf of the Italian Communist Party, we send a fraternal communist greeting and our internationalist solidarity to this conference in Caracas and to the political and social forces participating in it.
War scenarios continue to plague entire areas of the world―not least, Trump’s threat to Venezuela and the shameful awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Mrs. Machado, who has not hesitated to call for military intervention in her homeland to overthrow the Venezuelan socialist government. Unable to win in society, she appeals to brute force and this shows the bad stature of her character.
With the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, for now in a state of apparent truce, we have seen what the power of money and finance can do, deciding on the lives and destinies of entire peoples, trampling upon the most elementary right to life and existence. For two years, Israel has implemented its neocolonial, imperialist, bloodthirsty and racist project without any real restraint.
The West, on the other hand, has fully demonstrated its double standards, for the wars that suit it, and only and exclusively in the interest of preserving colonization, while in the face of the war in Ukraine it has used and continues to use all legal as well as military tools to fight Russia.
This is the response of imperialism to the emergence of a new multipolar world order, an order that we Italian communists firmly support and hope. In view of this, it is necessary to strengthen the unity of the forces of progress and anti-imperialist, variously organised in different international networks, which must face this wave of massacres and wars.
The ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine are fundamental pieces of a single world conflict that has as its stakes the perpetuation of a US-led unipolar world or the construction of a multipolar one that is a prelude to democratic and mutually beneficial international relations.
Peoples suffer and struggle in every part of the world, divided in a strategy of continuous tension, which after Trump’s election has also seen Europe added to the theaters of conflict. Europe has sacrificed the well-being of its populations and its own states the name of market rules without any relevance to investments in the real economy. It has become the direction of the NATO Deep State and various financial entities that act and put pressure on the member countries.
At present, the moment we are living in Europe sees the hegemony of various bourgeois nationalisms and sovereignisms that on the surface criticize globalism, but in fact feed on the same dynamics of capitalist exploitation that also affect public health.
Only by fighting for a more just and socialist society, a prerequisite for peace among peoples, facing enormous challenges in a very dangerous time such as today’s, pursuing the ambitious goal of making a just peace prevail that respects the self-determination of peoples, will our political work make sense.
We sincerely thank all the political forces that have intervened and will intervene and the organizers of the international meeting in Caracas. Only united and cohesive will we win.
To work and struggle comrades.
