Spain: Reject the Bosses’ Elections

Fight for Communism

BIGGER    SMALLER

SPAIN—“The politicians always do the same thing: first they offer you the sky when it’s election time and then they leave you to starve. I’d like to see them invent a way to vote, but to kick them all out of there,” said a restaurant worker.
I explained that the capitalist system carries out elections to continue exploiting the working class around the whole world. They give you four or more “choices,” but these choices won’t take you anywhere because the interests of the imperialists are always to generate more profits. They absolutely do not care at all about taking care of the well-being or providing a good quality of life for workers. I gave him a copy of Red Flag and he said that he would read it more slowly at home and then later we would talk.
In Spain the PP (Popular Party) has again won the presidential election, in spite of the fact that in its previous administration, wages were lowered, social benefits almost disappeared, and evictions have been brutal. Public health has suffered huge cuts, along with capitalist education, and the monthly university fees are very expensive. In second place is the Socialist Workers’ Party of Spain (PSOE) and the third force is the PODEMOS Party.
In Catalonia, the Party “Together for Yes” is a coalition of the parties who support independence, which has won the election for the government and deputies of Catalonia: The Democratic Convergence of Catalonia, Republican Left of Catalonia, Democrats of Catalonia and Movement of Leftists have declared the pre-independence of Catalonia.
This has started a war between the capitalists in the Spanish capital in Madrid and the capitalists in Catalonia, creating divisions among the workers, generating racism and only favoring the bosses, creating wretched labor contracts and precarious wage adjustments. The politicians will never solve the problems of the workers because it is the nature of capitalism to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The International Communist Workers’ Party fights to destroy the wage and electoral systems. The workers of the world need only one Mass Party. Problems will be resolved through communist collectives based on the needs of the workers.
We workers do not need a few who manage fortunes and decide if we need something or not. The creation of a Red Army that defends our society and the practice of Dialectical Materialism are the fundamental bases so that we won’t continue having the same problems that we have today.
Today’s politicians only serve to keep the working class divided so that we continue being wage slaves forever to generate money that only the bosses will enjoy. In communism, the working class will own our work and therefore we will be the owners of production. Let’s fight for communism and destroy this slave system. Join ICWP and let’s build a better society.
