The unity of workers, soldiers and peasants was crucial to the Russian Revolution.

Twenty-five Mexican soldiers confronted and killed 22 alleged drug traffickers in Tlatlaya, in the state of Mexico, last June 30. Under mounting pressure, the Mexican government took the unusual step of arresting eight soldiers in September and charging three with murder.
About 150 relatives and friends of soldiers marched on October 11 in the capital of Mexico in support of the soldiers who were involved in the Tlatlaya massacre. Marchers demanded a “fair trial” for soldiers who were “only following orders.” They also exposed a group inside the military which tortures soldiers who disobey orders.

What should a communist soldier do when given orders like this?
Youth, mainly from the working class, are trained in the army to follow orders to repress their own class. The massacre of Tlatelolco in 1968 has been the most brutal example of how the Mexican army has been used as a repressive force against the working class to keep the bosses in power.
The Tlatlaya massacre has exposed a power struggle between groups of capitalists fighting for control of certain areas in Mexico. In these wars among capitalist bosses, the workers and soldiers have nothing to gain.
Soldiers must understand that they have more in common with the working class than with the bosses. The only way to change their lives for the better is by mobilizing for communism and destroying capitalism.

Capitalism: The Biggest Disaster
Crime, corruption and poverty are the inevitable products of capitalism, governed by money and private property. The bosses accumulate profits without caring how, with their State apparatus (including police, Army, jails, and judicial system) in the service of capital. They try to make us lose class consciousness, either out of fear or through their racist, nationalist, and sexist ideology. They want us apathetic or terrified so we won’t organize and destroy their system.
Some say that the army supports the population in disasters. During disasters, the bosses fear the anger and possible rebellion of the workers against the system. The army serves at the same time as a symbol of help and an instrument of repression.
The soldiers, as part of the working class, must understand that the solution is not to blindly obey the bosses’ orders but to build communist consciousness and unite with their class brothers and sisters to destroy this system. In Communism, the priority will be the well-being and security of the whole working class.

Soldiers: Unite With Workers to Turn Guns on the Bosses
As long as the bosses continue to be thirsty for profits they will send soldiers to fight their wars like in the Middle East, the Ukraine, etc, and to attack workers to defend their power. These wars will grow into World War III.
However, history teaches us that soldiers can turn their weapons against the bosses. In Russia in 1917, during World War I, the soldiers achieved this, which allowed the Russian Revolution to be won. Many soldiers were convinced to unite with the workers to kill the capitalists and win a socialist society.
Today this unstoppable force in the hands of soldiers, industrial workers and other workers must be inspired by a Communist society, not socialism, which revealed itself as a form of capitalism.
We will abolish money and the exploitation of the wage system. Each person will have the duty to take care of our class brothers and sisters. Criticism and self criticism will replace orders. Social relations will be closer.
Today the International Communist Workers’ Party works to build communist consciousness among all workers, students, soldiers and their relatives in Mexico and worldwide. We must see that the only solution is to kill the bosses and the capitalist system. No to reforms! Soldiers and workers of the world, let’s unite for Communist Revolution.
