Workers Need:

A New Communist Society, Not a New Capitalist Constitution

BIGGER    SMALLER

MEXICO, D.F.—The protests against racist oppression, caused by the disappearance of the normal school students from Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, have brought to light hundreds of atrocities stemming from the use of workers’ labor power by the capitalists. The immediate cause is the fight for control of markets (legal and illegal). Guerrero and the “hot land” that also encompasses an area of Michoacán, is a source of raw materials (minerals and vegetables) that is being fully exploited. In addition, it’s an area where narcotics are grown and transported, and of manufacturing in general.
“The government has lost control to the criminals,” say some. But, really, the government is the fundamental part of the state, the instrument of oppression by the ruling class. Doing what it does is what it was created for, and it’s a trap to demand that it be something else: “a  rights-based state.”
The government’s main interest is exploiting the workers in the region using the resource of the “fight against crime” to strengthen military control. Currently, the resistance to this policy is led by the revisionists (followers of the old Soviet and Chinese-led Communist movement that ended up restoring capitalism). They promote “a new constituency and a new constitution,” seeking to reestablish the “rule of law.” They will convene a Popular National Assembly on February 21 and a convention on April 10.
Another group is working on another new constituency. They met on February 5, led by the Bishop of Saltillo, Vera and the poet J. Sicilia, among others. Both groups are also discussing the elections.
The experiences gained by the working class since Kart Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto in 1848 have shown that capitalism must be destroyed from its base of exploitation and its horsemen of the apocalypse of racism, sexism, money, borders, banks, etc. We have learned from the experiences of the fight for the republic, for socialism, for democracy, for national liberation, and for socialism of the 21st Century. The deception of a new constitution adorned with “rights,” “laws,” etc., means more destruction of workers by capitalism. Capitalism cannot be reformed; it has to be destroyed by a communist revolution.

We need a Party of the international working class, so we work to build ICWP
In Guerrero some communities are promoting “self government,” however, without a link to the working class and soldiers they do not have the perspective of emancipation from wage labor.  The community police who successfully put in check the government in Petaquillas, near Chilpancingo, the capital of the state of Guerrero also lack this revolutionary communist outlook. These community groups succeeded in liberating the workers who had been kidnapped from the “Half Moon,” a transnational mine in the area. The Army and the Federal police were forced to look for the kidnapped workers, without achieving anything, and are now threatening the community groups.
The struggle to organize our party is the key for our liberation. With millions of men and women workers with communist ideas we will organize a revolution and form a new society that will be based on meeting the needs of free workers. Communist ideas and practice will be the basis of production without money, and of the governance of society through the party and its Red Army.
The mass distribution of our communist literature, study groups, the recruitment of workers, students, teachers, etc will be the basis of this great battle against capitalism. No more tricks, no more capitalism. Join the struggle for a communist society.
