“Continue Fighting to Build a Massive Party”
I want to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to learn and share with you and my family during the International Communist Workers’ Party conference. It leaves us thinking about how to continue fighting so that one day we can end so much injustice that the workers live day by day in this system. We will continue fighting to build a massive party and make the communist revolution a reality, and so that one day the Red Flag will spread to everyone and end so much mockery of the employers.
With this I say goodbye and send a cordial greeting, mainly to those who accompanied us on the day of the conference. Greetings to the comrades from India, South Africa, the United States, Costa Rica. And long live communism!

“Red Flag Helps Us Unite and Change Toward the Communist System”
Fraternal greetings!
I am the worker who was fired on August 30. I received the Red Flag newspaper through a friend. Then I read it, and I found it a nice expression because there I could realize that, nationally and internationally, we are going through difficult situations, due to the bosses. I am a single mother with two daughters, and unfortunately, they closed the factory where I worked.
Well now, it was my first international conference with the International Communist Workers Party, along with my two daughters who are students who are students aged 16 and 17. For me it was a nice and beautiful experience that I had with my daughters.
Now I have realized that I am not the only worker who goes through situations. We heard what the comrade worker from India wrote, and the difficulties that she also goes through, and how the Red Flag newspaper serves us as a means of communication, wherever we are.
It was very complicated, and I found it very good to have shared with all the workers from different factories and countries. And the only thing I would like to do is to continue to encourage more workers so that they can realize that we can change if we unite as one class.
Red Flag is an alliance of the international working class that helps us to unite and change towards the communist system.

First Communist Conference as a Worker
Fraternal greetings to all comrades who read Red Flag!
I am a young worker, 18 years old. I have read Red Flag for 2 years.
I was invited to the international conference of the International Communist Workers’ Party by my dad and my aunt. They are maquila (sweatshop) workers too.
In the past, I came to Party meetings as a student. It is the second time I have attended the international conferences of the ICWP. But as a worker in the maquila factory, it is the first time.
I am motivated to continue reading our Red Flag newspaper and mobilizing more co-workers from the factory. I started working in this factory three months ago, and I will share the experience with my trusted friends.

“Communism Is Necessary to End Borders”
We of the maquilas of El Salvador thank the comrades and members of our International Communist Workers’ Party of South Africa, India, the United States, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. We know that if we remain united, sharing ideas and putting them into practice, we will grow until we achieve the triumph of the communist revolution.
The US report inspired me because it told us how they are doing political work, how they came together in a single feeling with immigrant families when the children were separated from their parents. That is why communism is necessary: to end borders.
In the workshops we committed ourselves to continue studying dialectics and above all to reading Red Flag because it is our weapon against capitalism.

“Join Us, Fight to Be a Huge Family”
I am a factory worker in El Salvador. My husband and I are workers and we both attended the conference with our son. We always form a team, dividing the obligations. We do everything together.
It all started when I saw that the worker E and the worker M got up and confronted the boss. Another worker comrade rose next to them and thus they took strength to face what could happen. And that was when I began to be interested in the party.
I asked the third worker what gave her strength at that moment. She gave me the Re Red Flag d Flag newspaper. I only read part of it while I was in the factory, a story like the one we faced.
She told me that they were going to meet at the end of the year and asked if I wanted to accompany them to understand what Red Flag means. I found it interesting, and that’s how I attended the conference.
I really liked the kindness, the camaraderie, and the many stories I have heard from other international comrades. I have realized that it is not only in El Salvador that this type of problem exists. Many think that in other countries it is easy to survive, but we do not know that the situation is the same or worse.
I invite others to join, to speak up, not to be silent. Do not feel oppressed so much with the boss. With other comrades of the working class, continue to fight to be a huge family. Best wishes!
