WORCESTER, MA (USA) May 8—Dozens of neighbors confronted ICE agents and local police during a raid deporting a Brazilian grandmother.
CECOT, a fascist-capitalist mega-prison: Let’s crush fascism with a communist revolution
EL SALVADOR, May 5—“Bukele is a fascist and is associated with the rape and repression of our working class. This “leader” uses Salvadoran territory to do favors for the current leader of the US empire,” said R, adding, “His immigration policy not only criminalizes immigrants, but also completely strips them of their human dignity.”
The comrades in El Salvador discussed CECOT and the disappearance of our class brothers and sisters under the state of emergency, and how these prisons are used by the US for deportation.
“American history is no stranger to concentration camps on its own soil. For decades, the US base at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba has been a place where human crimes are committed. Crimes that the US’s own laws prohibit and its extraterritorial status allows. Now they have the CECOT, a black hole,” said J.
Since March 2025, the Donald Trump administration has expelled many Salvadoran and Venezuelan migrants from the US to be held in the CECOT mega-prison. In Washington, they argue that these are members of criminal organizations, such as the Tren de Aragua or the Maras.
CECOT is a prison that is marketed to the world as a dungeon for terrorists. A cruel dungeon where they kidnap all those who oppose these fascist governments. The game of Trumpism and Bukelism pretends there is debate when what really exists is demagoguery and lies.
CECOT refers to the Terrorism Confinement Center. It is a concentration camp where deportees are sent from the United States. It houses approximately 40,000 inmates who are isolated from the outside world, “disappeared.” This is a worse crime than the apparent “security” of eliminating crime. The greatest crime is that of capitalists who destroy and exploit the working class.
The state of exception decreed since March 27, 2022, gives the fascist Bukele the power to do whatever he wants with human lives.
Many of the prisoners suffer from tuberculosis, infections, severe malnutrition, and digestive and chronic diseases. Incarceration can become “life-threatening.”
“CECOT is being openly manipulated by the government to use it as a purge of all those who oppose the government, to silence the voices of the working class. It also holds political prisoners. All under the pretense of ‘terrorist gang members’ without any kind of legal process,” D commented, adding, “…all under the command of a group of fascist oligarchs who control power.”
“Capitalism can never satisfy the working class. Reforms and laws are not solutions. Only communist revolution, not reform, can abolish the police and the entire rotten system of capitalism,” A asserted.
Comrade J emphasized that, “The origin of all the real evils of capitalist society are the results of the ruling class’s exploitation. We must fight to eradicate this cancer of wage slavery. Massively abolish this system and fight for a communist society.”
C agreed, “Let us fight, youth, soldiers, women, and men. The entire working class, united in a single class, mobilized for communism, will put an end to all forms of discrimination and genocide by the imperialists.”
A Communist World Requires a Revolutionary Struggle
“There are all kinds of violence, racism, classism, all examples of capitalist attitudes that we must eliminate at their roots.” R stated, “It is clear that no reform or struggle under this rotten fascist capitalist system will provide a solution. It will only happen in a communist society.”
In our future discussions, we will reconsider how we will deal with prisons and the capitalist behavior of “crime” under communism.
Only the communist revolution led by our ICWP can crush the perverse system of prisons for profit and corruption. We will create a communist world for the working class, without borders and without wage slavery.
Long live communist revolution!
