Collective Communist Education to Build a Communist World

BIGGER    SMALLER

On May Day, the proclamation of the international working class must be: “Workers of the World, Unite!”  We must be united in a single party, the International Communist Workers’ Party (ICWP).
Our manifesto Mobilize the Masses for Communism (MMC) shows that the fight must be directly for Communism.  The fight must not be for a state socialism like that raised high by the pseudo-leftist countries or as the communists of the past believed in their attempt to liberate our class from capitalist oppression.
However, many believe that the fight must be waged through reforms:  either reforms won by workers through the unions or reforms imposed by the bosses through their structure (the state).
The Mexican government has implemented reforms to remove nationalist restrictions on the exploitation of energy (oil and electricity).  They have removed labor regulations so they can exploit workers’ labor power even more.  They are looking for the “efficient” use of public education to meet the needs of business.  They seek more tax revenue from workers and are tuning up their telecommunications and transport systems.
Now they are publicizing “Mobilizing Mexico.”  This plan includes a new port in Veracruz, renovation of the ports of Manzanillo, L. Cárdenas and Tuxpan, and new coast-to-coast roads.  It talks of human development through more and better wage labor.
We workers must not fall into this capitalist trap.  Mobilize the Masses for Communism puts forward the elimination of wage slavery.
ICWP asserts that reforms are necessary for the survival of the capitalist bosses, whether they are foreign or national.  They strengthen their laws to confront their competitors in their attempts to dominate the world.
The capitalist bosses develop science and technology to serve them.  Through one of their tools, capitalist education, they train and prepare human beings against themselves in order to exploit them.
With capitalist education the bosses strengthen themselves. However, we, with communist education, will build a world in which everyone will receive according to their needs and give according to their commitment and capability. Together we will build our Communist society.
In communist society (scientific communism) education will begin in infancy and last until old age. Mental and manual labor will be combined from the centers of production to the fields, from the fields to the cities, from the cities to any area of the world. Women and men will be involved in this process. We will not try to measure people’s “capacities” with grades or IQ tests. 
With the study and practice of dialectics and the understanding of political economy, we will advance quantitatively and qualitatively. People will have the obligation and need to develop knowledge for our class and not for a tiny group.
Knowledge will not be concentrated in the hands of a few “intellectuals” who think they know everything. It won’t just be a lucky few who get to study, leaving many youth frustrated at not being able to continue studying.
We will all develop skills. But not just that!  We will learn to do everything, whether it is producing in the fields, working in industry, in music, arts, sports, science, technology, etc.
We will have the obligation to be involved in any job where it is necessary. We will need to rebuild society after a war. We will have much work, and collective communist education will be a means to accomplish it.
Therefore, ICWP says NO to reforms because these only improve capitalism.  We do not want to improve it, we want to destroy it. We are its gravediggers and we will bury them.
Together as class brothers and sisters today and in the communist future we will mobilize the masses for Communism.  This May Day we say: Long Live the International Working Class! Long Live Communism!
