EL SALVADOR—Recently, men and women comrades of the International Communist Workers’ Party met in a mountainous area in the northern part of the country. There we maquila workers, farm workers and teachers from different areas of the country shared our ideas.
During the discussion of the international report, we analyzed the conflict between Russia and the US and correlated it with the current scenario in Syria. Recently a Russian deputy revealed plans to export tons of wheat and oil to Syria.  This nation, bloodied by the conflict between the pro-Assad bosses and the pro-Islamic radicals, will pay for them in the form of credits. That means indebting the nation in the short and medium term. This is a cost that will be paid by the workers.
A teacher comrade mentioned that this shows that the bosses, far from being interested in the wellbeing of the working class, are fighting for control of markets.  Their wars decide which capitalists must locate their businesses and exploit in that nation or in another where a war is developing. Another comrade added that all capitalist wars have as their goal money and control of financial markets.
We addressed the problem of the refugees in Europe through reading the editorial in Red Flag.  We discussed how the capitalists show their class hatred, appealing to the racism and xenophobia against these people who are fleeing due to the conflicts generated by the same bosses themselves.
However, along the borders of Bulgaria, Austria and Serbia, hundreds of workers are organizing to help their peers with food, shelter and medical care. This shows workers’ solidarity with other workers, an action that appeals to the communist movement and represents the opportunity to win more people to fight for communism, not to reform the laws imposed by capitalist governments.

Class Struggle in the Factories:  Workers Need Communist Revolution, Not Reforms
One co-worker was attending a Party meeting for the first time.  She commented that in the F and D factory where she sells her labor power, the boss was demanding that each module produce 9,600 shirts in five days, in exchange for the ridiculous bonus of $12 for each of the 16 workers who form each module.
By Friday of last week, the men and women workers of one module had produced 9450 shirts, lacking a half an hour to finish the work day. That is, they were 150 shirts short of the goal. Given this and the harassment by the supervisors who “motivated” them to produce the amount demanded by the bosses, a group of workers met with the factory bosses, asking for more time to reach the goal. The bosses agreed at that moment, but when it was time to leave, they cut the electric service to the work area. That meant that the workers didn’t reach the goal and were denied the bonus.  This caused anger and indignation in the work modules.
A comrade commented, “We feel upset by this situation. The bosses expect us to be passive but soon we will organize a strike to demand the payment of this bonus.”
Another co-worker added, “We have seen that we cannot count on the support of any union in this struggle. Those who we thought would support us are supporting the bosses. That’s why we are here organizing with ICWP.”
This situation is an example of capitalist overproduction.   This week the comrades in this maquila produced three weeks’ worth of products.  They are supposed to produce these unusual and absurd quantities of clothes to satisfy the bosses’ thirst for profits.
In communism it won’t be like this. Production will be aimed at meeting the needs of the masses and not to generate profits for the capitalists. With the elimination of money, through communist revolution organized by ICWP, the problems of production generated by the bosses’ system of exchange value will no longer exist.  All workers, men and women, and their families will have time for recreation and cultural enrichment of the highest quality.  
We will no longer have to work ourselves to death for the enrichment of a few and the impoverishment of the majority who are the productive forces of our society.
What we produce will be for our families and communities. The bosses will no longer steal from us the fruits of our labor. We will only achieve this by organizing more communist clubs in our workplaces through Red Flag so that we develop political consciousness and a constant struggle against the capitalist system.
The gathering ended in a comradely manner.  Everyone enjoyed chicken with potatoes and tortillas freshly made by the farmworkers, who received us in a way that showed communist solidarity. We strolled around the area, enjoying nature in a communist collective revolutionary environment.
