A propaganda campaign has been going on for weeks in Italy: a media campaign aiming at preparing the ground for a new military intervention of the Western powers in Libya, against Arab-Islamic working and exploited population.

The Renzi Government and the Mass Media say that a new intervention in Libya is necessary to stop the "bloody civil war", to restore peace in the country, and to make Italy’s borders safer.

These are all lies. In the 2011, after six months of continuous carpet bombing, the Western countries destroyed the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya leaded by Muammar Gaddafi, with the help of mercenary bands paid by Washington, Rome, Paris, London. The imperialistic powers destroyed the Libyan Republic because its politics were not completely kneeling to the EU’s and USA’s wishes. In fact, the Libyan Republic of Gaddafi was aiming at building independent commercial, monetary and manufacturing relationships among African countries. At the same time, the destruction of Libya served also as a terroristic warning launched by the imperialistic countries to the  working and exploited population of Egypt and Tunisia, who had just overthrown the pro-Western dictators Mubarak and Ben Ali.

The Western capitalistic powers were hoping to rule the country and to plunder all its resources through local puppets.  This project has not been fully successful until now. Among the reasons that prevented the imperialistic criminals to completely subjugate  Libya are the conflicts between them and their Middle East allied (Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Qatar.). The Italian capitalists, which for more than one hundred years have been considering Libya as their home courtyard, want to grab the largest slide of the pie. This is the reason because the Italian Government is preparing a new wide neo-colonialist military intervention.

The incessant racist campaign of the Italian and European media that depicts Muslims as bloodthirsty wild beasts and the campaign against immigrant workers have the purpose of deceiving Italian and European workers, in order to obtain their full support to the oppression politics of the Western powers. These propaganda campaign has to be denounced and rejected.

The proletariat of the Western countries has the interest to fight the war and "peace" politics of  their “own" governments and states. They have the interest to see the immigrant workers and the Arab-Islamic working masses not as a threat, but as precious potential class allies.

Or we will start to go in this direction, or step by step and without even noticing, we will be more and more sucked into a tragic and fratricidal clash with the exploited masses of the South of the world and with the workers of the emerging countries. A suicide clash that would be solely for the benefit of our “own” capitalists and exploiters.
