“I was working late Saturday night when the war became official,” said a Boeing friend in Seattle who works in the 737 factory. P-8 airplanes were built there to be used for surveillance and anti-submarine warfare, armed with torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and depth charges. Quite a few were deployed. “Even the most conservative of our shop know this means nothing good for us.”
The Middle East war and developing World War III make it clear that industrial workers are vital. Frank, an aerospace worker and friend, agreed. He spent two hours with a comrade, discussing the need for Communism and how the Boeing workers are more open to communist ideas than ever.
Frank wants to read more about Lenin, Marx, and the Putilov works, and how the working class tried to build industrial factories shaped for the needs of the masses. He was especially taken by the way the Russian industrial workers took the weapons they built to the front lines and helped defeat the capitalists’ armies.
Every time Frank talks about communism, he asks for more Red Flags to distribute to his friends.
He, like many others, is furious with the Middle East war. He calls it “unbelievable” and “disgusting,” especially bombing 165 schoolgirls. He even asked some US workers if they were ashamed.
He still wonders if comrades can also be “so-so” when it comes to war. Geopolitics has made him think more deeply about our conviction to fight for communism and nothing less. We fight for the working class and the masses all around the world.
Another industrial worker said, “The Boeing workers and sub-contractors must understand they are commissioned to make weapons of mass destruction for the capitalists.” He, too, looks to mobilize masses, especially industrial workers.
Industrial workers we know have quickly responded to the war. Young and old, they call for no capitalism, no imperialism, no country, no nations, no borders. ICWP aims for communist revolution to unleash the power of the masses with the help of industrial workers. We are asking them to join our party.
