LOS ANGELES, USA-- “I can perceive in the environment rebellions and the beginning of a revolution. It’s time to do something, because what is happening is inconceivable and intolerable,” said a Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) mechanic.
“These murders are not only the product of racist or psychologically sick police, even though there are thousands of them in those repressive forces. Instead, this is a plan conceived by the ruling class to maintain oppression and create and inject fear in the heart of the working class. We need radical leadership. What can we do?” said a second mechanic.
“We must organize a communist revolution, because it is the only solution. Because we the workers are the ones called on to take this leadership organized in ICWP”, said a third.
These workers were discussing the latest murders of black workers gunned down by racist US police. Many MTA workers and many others all over the US and in other parts of the world are asking: What can we all do about it?
Our answer specifically here at MTA, and elsewhere, is to organize ICWP collectives to organize political actions at the workplace to respond to the bosses’ racist and fascist attacks against our class nationally and internationally.
Our goal is to organize political strikes and demonstrations against capitalism and for communism. These actions would not raise reformist demands – like “justice” for those murdered. These still leave the capitalist-imperialist racist beast alive to continue destroying millions of workers’ lives worldwide.
In fact, we would only put forward political slogans – like “To end racism we must end capitalism with communist revolution!” “Death to capitalism! Power to the workers! Fight for communism!”
Our slogans would tell our class that we shouldn’t fight for crumbs but for the whole world. Our banners would remind the toiling masses that our historic task is to be the gravediggers of capitalism and we should fight for nothing less than communism.
Such slogans will inspire millions worldwide. But to get there we have to start somewhere. MTA is a good place to start. Hundreds here have been reading Red Flag for years. Many help distribute it. They should join ICWP and organize collectives to discuss and carry out our strategy of organizing political strikes and the communist ideas of Red Flag.
That’s because to be able to achieve our goal of a communist society we need to have a clear vision of communism to inspire ourselves and the masses to fight for it. This will require much commitment, tenacity, heroism, and loyalty to our class and Party. These values can only be cultivated by studying the history and theory of communism and putting it into practice. This will forge new communist leaders tempered in the class struggle.
All Red Flag readers at MTA are invited to participate in our next communist school about Dialectical Materialism. The three workers mentioned above received our pamphlet about Dialectical Materialism and said they would participate.
These workers’ comments and the favorable reaction to our leaflet (the editorial on page 2) which is being distributed massively, shows that times are changing and our political work of years is beginning to be reflected in the political analyses of co-workers who are Red Flag readers. Our next step is to intensify the struggle with them to join a collective of ICWP.
