“Catastrophe of Capitalism and Reinforcement of Revolutionary and Anti-imperialist Forces”

Comrades. 

The horrifying scenes coming from the Gaza Strip and also from the West Bank show the criminal catastrophe of today’s capitalism. 

Its determination in favor of war and a new mode of Nazi-fascism is becoming more and more evident.

In order to defend the rate of profit of the most concentrated transnational corporations, they place the world in front of a civilizational crisis. 

The pandemic of Covid 19 showed the character of privatized health, where those who have money are cured and those who do not have it, die. 

In today’s capitalism, wealth and power are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, and the numbers of those displaced from the labor market and from access to housing, health and education are infinitely greater. 

Modern science and technology enable the mass production of material goods, but these are denied to the majorities because capitalism itself eliminates consumers. 

The strategic centers of big capital design a society of privilege, armored by an iron bell, protected on its margins by armies armed to the teeth to prevent the irruption of the excluded majorities demanding justice. 

It is a new form of fascism, but not in the manner of the 1930s or 1940s, but now combined with an ultra-liberalism that is privatizing, inhuman, anti-social, with individual security for a few and insecurity of work, health, food and life itself for the excluded population. But as intolerant, racist and criminal as that of those times. 

Zelensky and Netanyahu are these days their bishops, Biden and Trump their politicians, NATO and its military might their main instruments and the financial funds like Black Rock and others, those who determine and indicate the policies to all of them and their allies of the European Union and other institutions like the IMF, the World Bank, etc.

But they do not have it all their own way.

In hard conditions of correlation of forces the oppressed peoples rise up in struggles and organize themselves.

In several cases they dispute the control of the state bureaucracies and succeed. 

Today it is very interesting to observe how some countries, whose governments do not respond totally or partially to the mandate of big finance capital, establish links of a new type among themselves and from their particular processes of construction, some of them with great advances in development and integral democracy and others with diverse contradictions with the main centers of oppressive power. 

These spaces manage to impose limits to the voracity of imperialism and constitute a global alternative. Not necessarily as an outpost of a new model of society, although in some cases they are advancing with firm and more than successful socialist strategies.

The hope for a livable world, of peace and security for all, of shared well-being, resides today in the popular struggles, in the role of the workers, in the construction of revolutionary political forces in each country and intertwined, and in the expansion and strengthening of spheres such as the BRICS and other instances of similar searches.

That is why we see with joy the conformation of this Platform of unity of revolutionary and anti-imperialist forces in which we will modestly try to contribute with our own and to pay attention to each of the contributions and proposals brought by the comrades of the organizations that participate.
