EL SALVADOR—“We already dealt the bosses the first blow; now we have to go for the second,” said a worker. Workers organized in the International Communist Workers’ Party were very animated this weekend when they had a day at the beach for political analysis of the ways to push forward the struggles for communism, discussing how to get more workers to join the revolutionary struggle.
A worker who participated for the first time with his wife, also a worker, said, “Yes, I am the one who underlines in Red Flag the things I don’t understand that I need to ask the comrades about.” He went on to say, “I have been reading the paper and, if you give me the opportunity, I am joining the struggle together with all of you.” The applause was immediate. He, his wife, and other comrades were welcomed into the ranks of the ICWP.
There were countless stories about how the workers in the maquila factories have reacted to our communist ideas.
“We hit them where it hurts and now neither the bosses nor the union sellouts know what to do.”
“We need to continue, together with our class, fighting against the bosses’ oppression.”
Such sentiments and many more were expressed with amazed joy as they felt the power of the workers and recounted how the supervisors and union leaders find themselves for the first time between a rock and a hard place.
“I want to congratulate the comrades who knew how to stand firm to defend the party’s line,” said a comrade. “The leaflet is not an ordinary piece of writing. It touches the reality that we as workers live everyday. We are clear that many union leaders don’t care about the repression that we workers suffer from the bosses.”
Their opinions are strong; you feel the great power that Red Flag has developed in them with the constant emphasis on the urgency of a communist revolution by the working class.
The workers are learning on the battlefield that only if they are organized with communist ideas can they confront the bosses’ system and its servants. The union passed out a leaflet in answer to the ICWP leaflet which shows that they are the bosses’ best friends and their goal is to get the bosses to be their friends. The workers’ jokes and anger about the well-known position of these sellout union leaders have led the working class to feel inspired to continue building the International Communist Workers’ Party.
At the end of the meeting, we read the editorial in Red Flag about communist health care and began to philosophize about how a communist world will be. Many let their imaginations fly with issues like health care, education, sports, etc. The next meeting was planned as well as the end-of-the-year celebration. And yes, the men and women workers enjoyed to the max such a beautiful sea, and the fried fish were big and delicious….
