AGAINST THE CRIMINAL IMPERIALIST AGGRESSION IN IRAQ!
BUT ALSO AGAINST THE BLOOD-THIRSTY MIDDLE EAST "PEACE" POLICY
OF THE U.N. AND EUROPEAN COUNTRIES!
UNCONDITIONALLY ON THE SIDE OF THE REVOLT OF THE SUPER-EXPLOITED
MASSES AGAINST THE IMPERIALIST ORDER!
The unheard of violence by which Anglo-American imperialism is bleeding Iraq has the
aim of terrorising the Iraqi people and all of the Islamic Arab masses with a tonnage of
bombs and missiles that already exceeds that used in the war of 1991. The first and
fundamental objective of the attack is to crush anyone who dares to question an
imperialist "order" whose violence is growing in direct proportion to its thirs
t for profits and the contradictions of the world capitalist system.
From the Gulf War to the embargo (which has caused more deaths than the military action!),
this policy has been furthered by all of the countries in the West. The self-distancing of
Europe (with Italy in the first line), the UN and the Vatican is pure hypocrisy. Their
"peace" policy is substantially the same, and means the same starvation, misery
and ruin for the Islamic Arab masses. Oil at zero cost (5 US cents per litre) and the
super-exploitation of the resources of the area are simply the reflection of a system that
sees a handful of States dominate, exploit and impoverish the vast majority of the world's
population. There may be a certain subtle difference in the case of these attacks,
but only for the purpose of defending equally blood-thirsty national capitalist interests
in competition with the USA. There is no alternative European or Italian policy that is
not against the proletariat and super-exploited masses, whatever the DS (Italy's
largest reformist party in Government) and Rifondazione Comunista (reformists in
opposition) would have us believe.
Be it armed or "peaceful", the aggression is also directed against the Western
proletariat. The Gulf War, as well as the subsequent interventions in Somalia,
ex-Yugoslavia, Albania, etc., were presented as useful means for preserving our
"well-being"; but the living conditions and political strength of the
proletariat have actually precipitated to their lowest level since the Second World War,
because any reinforcement of the class enemy on the "foreign" front also
reinforces its position against us on the "home" front.
What is more, in the presence of the sacrosanct hatred against the "white
oppressors" that is uncontainably growing in the Southern part of the world - to
which the state of war cannot be circumscribed for long without also having human and
material costs here (when it will become something very different from a "TV
war") - the failure on our part to give a signal of support to our class brothers
risks making it appear that the proletariat is at one with the bourgeosie: an enemy of the
oppressed masses.
It is therefore in our own class interests to break the climate of indifference to
wards imperialist aggression (or even of tacit support for it), fight against it
and the antiIslamic crusade promoted by the bourgeoisie, interrupt the state of
domestic social peace, and give our unconditional support to the exploited Arab
masses (regardless of who currently represents them or how) beginning with the immigrant
proletariat.
