El Salvador:

Comrades from Past Struggles Join ICWP

BIGGER    SMALLER

“We are grateful that you all are here. We will again read Red Flag so that we can organize in the ICWP and know what is happening in the struggle for worldwide revolution,” Comrade Marcial said  very excitedly the minute he began to speak to the participants in a communist reunion.
“Returning to a historic community, and seeing old comrades is really a special moment,” commented a comrade.
In this rural community, an end-of-the-year celebration was carried out with a group of youth and some who are less young and have great experience in working class struggles. Many of the youth with whom we shared the reunion have known the comrades of the International Communist Workers’ Party since their childhood. One of them mentioned, “When I was little I went to a May Day March and I hope to continue going with the people in the Party.”
Inspiring and rousing speeches were given by comrade organizers of ICWP, and also by the new comrades who expressed their happiness for this reunion. This is the beginning of a new effort to build and organize the struggle for a communist system through organizing in the International Communist Workers’ Party.
This reunion with the comrades marks an important moment in this community. An older adult said, “We at least need socialism, since so much time has passed and this fmln government doesn’t do anything for us veterans; it does nothing.”
A comrade answered, “We don’t need socialism. We need communism.”
An ex-militia fighter of the fmln present at the gathering asked, “What does ICWP mean?”
A comrade responded, “We are a party of a new type in which we need people willing to fight for the working class to organize so that we make the battle directly for communism. The previous efforts fell very short and ICWP is a group of men and women willing to confront the challenges and carry forward communist revolution.”
One of the community leaders was very sharp and stated, “A Party cannot be built if the leadership is distanced from the base, and this was one of the problems we had with the previous effort. You have always been close to us and we expect to work well together again.”
At the end of the activity, young athletes gave their thanks for the return to the community. They also provided equipment to play soccer. “Youth not infected with capitalist vices is what we need. Youth focused on the revolutionary struggles of ICWP,” concluded a Party comrade.
