Capitalism Guilty of Murders

Communism Will End the Material Basis of Crime

BIGGER    SMALLER

EL SALVADOR—On March 3rd, eight electrical workers and three farmworkers were massacred in San Juan Opico, La Libertad. Gangs have intensified their actions since the end of the latest “truce” with the government. The country has a rate of 91 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, the highest in the world.
Capitalism creates conditions of inequality of resources, scarcity, exclusion, and exploitation  to maintain the power and profit of the capitalist class. Bankers, high military officials and the State need these conditions to maintain the status quo.
We are fighting for a communist revolution for a classless society that eliminates all the material bases of crime. The first major step will be the total elimination of money and any kind of exchange. We need a new type of communist production, where we all carry out different tasks within the new society.
New communist education will open the way for a new consciousness within humanity. We will use all our creativity for the benefit of the workers. There will be recreational areas for everyone. Commune committees will be organized to strengthen the  structure of the party, to designate tasks, and solve problems within the community.
The eight murdered workers were putting up an electric pole  when thugs belonging to a gang kidnapped them. They took them to another place, tied their hands, and murdered them.  In the same place, they encountered three farmworkers who they killed for having witnessed the slaughter.
This massacre was an attack on  the international working class. It was a barbarity that must be analyzed with a communist vision.
El Salvador has a population of six million, with a rate of 22.6 homicides a day, so far,  in March, 2016. All the government measures have been useless. The frontal assault against the gangs with death squads, police repression, and mass imprisonment have all hit a wall of a problem that has no solution under the capitalist system.
The municipalities where there is the most conflict are those that have a huge number of workers. In the municipality of Soyapango, one of the most violent, there are nearly one million people. It is known as “the industrial city.” Here is the greatest number of factories and  the most important military bases.
We are facing a this huge potential for communist organization. In this enormous city you find thousands of workers waiting for communist ideas to free themselves from capitalist exploitation and violence.  We must wage a fight to expand our Red Flag networks in all the industrial areas of the country.
While ICWP continues to grow in different industrial and farming areas of the world and the revolutionary process advances, communist discipline and consciousness will forge militant communist behavior against these actions taken against the working class. With a mass communist line that reaches the working class neighborhoods, we will see who the enemy really is.
The only way to put an end to the attacks against the working class is with the complete destruction of capitalism and the creation of communist society. The Party has the historic task of focusing the anti-capitalist anger that exploitation and exclusion generate.
The situation is more serious every day and represents a risk for our political work. But direct contact with the masses and their mass mobilization for communism wil give us the security to continue bringing our ideas to more workers
