MEXICO—The explanation devised by the Mexican government through the Attorney General Murillo Karam, of the 43 students arrested by the city police of Iguala, turned over to the criminal gang “Guerreros Unidos,” executed and incinerated in the trash landfill of Cocula and thrown into a nearby river, has not convinced the parents or their supporters in Mexico and abroad.
The arrested criminals said they were tortured until they pled guilty and it is possible that the charges against them will be dropped. On the other hand, the Iguala cops who were arrested claim that they had the day off or were on vacation on September 26th, the day the students were abducted. This adds to the evidence that it was soldiers and federal police who arrested and shot the normal school students, directly involving the federal government of Peña Nieto and the murderous capitalist system.
Faced with the refusal of the parents to believe their explanation, and with an attempt on their part to enter the military zone in Iguala using a trailer, Interior Secretary Osorio Chong said that parents would be allowed into some Army bases to look for their missing children.
Several of the parents of the 43 students have brought the case to the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances in Geneva. More important than such institutional resources have been the huge solidarity protests around the world, from Bolivia to Japan, Germany to the USA, to protest the Mexican government and demanding the reappearance alive of the disappeared students.
According to a count by Political Animal magazine, from 2007 to 2014, 23,600 people have disappeared in Mexico. In 2014 there were the highest number of cases recorded, 5,098. In January, La Jornada reported that 14 people disappear every day.
The mass protests repudiate all the bosses’ parties as corrupt. Those who are organizing them hope to force the regime into an untenable situation. In Guerrero, they will prevent the elections in June. But that’s a far cry from preventing an election to mobilizing the working class to take power.
The spokespeople for the ruling class are calling for “imposing order” and applaud the militarization of the Mexico-Acapulco highway. There is a serious risk of a massive and widespread repression throughout the country. Capitalism always rests on the base of an armed dictatorship of the bosses over the working class, and as the crisis intensifies, the bosses are forced to resort to more naked fascism. As R. Palme Dutt, a Communist from India, wrote 80 years ago, the only alternative for capitalism in crisis is fascism or communist revolution.
The working class must step up. Today more than ever we need to do away with this murderous and racist capitalist system. Those who distribute and read our newspaper should increase their commitment and help to spread communist ideas massively among workers, soldiers, teachers and students to turn this rebellion into a struggle for communism.

MEXICO—We recently held an enriching meeting, attended by two housewives, a young farm worker, a young urban worker, a health care worker and an unemployed woman, each one with different experiences.  In a lively discussion they talked about the fear caused by talking about change, people’s ignorance of communism, and the anti-communist ideas that circulate in the media.
The young farm worker emphasized that in Red Flag we need to talk about the situation in the fields. In his work, he has realized that the farmworkers are tired and they only follow him. We need to give them a match and light it, and that is where Red Flag must be. However, Red Flag does not talk about them.
The young comrade from the city explained that in his workplace, he and his co-workers live in fear that they will be fired because there is less work every day, and there are few projects. Here, conditions of unemployment and poverty are similar to those in the fields. Therefore, people there are also dissatisfied.
It was mentioned that in the health sector, discontent is also growing. The nurses’ march at the beginning of the year is a sign of this. Every day the bosses make the workers’ lives unbearable. They discussed how the comrade who works in this sector could expand the network of friends and talk to them about Communism.
We commented that the responsibility of the articles that appear in Red Flag is not just of some comrades, that the Party is the work of all.  Like the housewives, the farmworkers, or any other worker, we should write about these issues. This would give us more confidence to take Red Flag to other workers and tell them, “Look, here it talks about your situation.” But, to get to that, we would have to write.
Therefore, to continue the political development of each member of the Party in this area, each comrade will write an article based on their experiences and areas of work which will be sent to Red Flag.  In the next meeting, we will discuss them, in addition to reading the document Mobilize the Masses for Communism.
A family graciously opened their home and prepared a rich pozole, and while we waited for the comrades to arrive, we were able to strengthen ties of friendship.  All of this, as a young comrade from the city put it, makes us see that this Communist society is possible, even with our many internal contradictions, even though we don’t live in communism.
Workers of the world, whatever action we take, however small, causes an effect and this effect must be the liberation of our working class. Workers of the world, let’s unite in one Party, the International Communist Workers’ Party.
