EL SALVADOR, June 23— “If blood must be shed, so be it,” stated Nasry Asfura, the current president of Honduras. “The money to get Trump to pardon Juan’s sentence came from Israel, in order to eradicate the cancer of the left.” He stood alongside representatives from the United States, Israel, and Argentina—with the collaboration of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández—in order to attack the governments of Mexico and Colombia.
These conversations were revealed by audio recordings leaked by the US Democratic Party, according to reports in the capitalist press.
Other agreements related to “Hondurasgate” include the new Honduran government expanding the Zones of Employment and Economic Development (ZEDE). These zones entail Honduras handing over municipalities directly into the hands of US employers. It is an attempt to prevent Chinese capitalism from continuing to expand in that country.
This makes inter-imperialist conflicts more evident. And in the process, it eliminates all the reforms that the working class has won through decades of struggle in this part of the world: the eight-hour workday, year-end bonuses, social security, and pensions.
Hondurasgate is a massive network for media manipulation of the working class in Latin America. It is an all-out war against any form of revolutionary organization and information for the masses, like Red Flag. Fascism spreads through the violence of the capitalist system. We cannot ignore that these capitalists will target the International Communist Workers’ Party. And that no attack should go unanswered.
In the face of these plans for conflict among capitalist governments, the International Communist Workers’ Party will respond with greater political organization and the mass distribution of Red Flag. This is a communist newspaper written by workers, for the entire working class and soldiers everywhere on Earth.
Furthermore, there is a constant need for political education of the working class and members or former members of the armed forces. We must eliminate any vestige of the seeds of capitalism from our minds and spirits.
The cycle of slavery and suffering imposed by the capitalist system can only be defeated through the organization and mobilization of the masses for communism by joining the ICWP.
And as an indispensable requirement, we need a newspaper—print and digital—to reach every corner of the world. This will enable the working class to organize and avoid falling for the bosses’ lies and nationalist ploys. With a communist newspaper, the maquila workers in El Salvador and Honduras can advance proletarian organization. And we have that newspaper: Red Flag.
The enemy of the working class is every capitalist, from the United States to Israel and from the United Kingdom to South Africa. For it is they who, even when defeated, will try by every means to regain power in order to continue enslaving workers and soldiers around the world.
Let us not forget the example of the Paris Commune, which was weakened by its reliance on reformist struggles, or the attempts to reform capitalism in Libya, Yugoslavia, Chile, etc. It is the communist system or nothing.
We must read, distribute, and discuss Red Flag more widely in countries like Honduras and throughout Latin America—among our friends, factory workers, and families. That is how the Revolution is built.
