The first was a report and discussion on how to expand the work of the International Communist Workers\u2019 Party, inside and outside the factories. The second focused on the criminalization of migration and how it should be combated in the different countries where the ICWP is expanding its membership.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Comrades from the factories reported on the situation maquila workers are going through. Several comrades were unable to attend the meeting because they were forced to work on the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe\u2019re being pressured to meet production demands. They force us to have rotating schedules. We work longer hours, even on weekends, so the bosses can deliver the merchandise. This is how they make their profits at the expense of our labor. That\u2019s why my wife couldn\u2019t come,\u201d said Andr\u00e9s, a maquila worker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The layoffs have been ongoing since the middle of the year. The new supervisors are putting more pressure on the workers and exploiting them more intensely, using repression, reprimands, and even harassment. This situation affects the workers\u2019 health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Comrade Jos\u00e9 commented: \u201cA colleague has worked for thirty years despite being diabetic. Her health has become even more complicated with the loss of her vision. She\u2019s living in a stressful situation, as she\u2019s not yet old enough to retire. Doctors can\u2019t declare her incapacitated by her condition, even though it\u2019s legal due to her vision impairment. However, the factory bosses respond that the only thing they could do is fire her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>How will this repressive system be defeated?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The challenges we face as ICWP are great. We are not for reforms; we want real change. This requires<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the overthrow of capitalism worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Every comrade is an organizer. A recruiter for ICWP. Communist ideas must guide our daily political work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A comrade asked, \u201cWhat should we do when workers who are members of unions see us meeting with a comrade who is recognized as an ICWP member? We are afraid of reprisals against us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Another comrade responded, \u201cFor the growth of the Party, distribution, and discussion of <i>Red Flag,<\/i> you can meet outside of the factory and outside of working hours. The communist struggle is not against our class brothers and sisters. It is against the capitalist system and its unions, which try to make them see us as enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>In the face of the criminalization of migration, who are the real criminals?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The migration situation impacts everyone. The majority of Salvadorans have a relative in the US, causing family disintegration. Many migrate to other countries in search of a better life. Those called migrants are currently being called criminals, among other terms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But who are the real criminals? We know the answer. Imperialist capitalists are the real criminals, with their rotten profit system that exploits, divides, and kills our working class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The global capitalist crisis drives imperialist capitalists to military mobilization and inter-imperialist wars, driven by their desire to seize wealth and greater power. As communists, we must follow the example of our historical comrades who managed to infiltrate the bosses\u2019 armies and defeat them from within.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the mobilizations in Los Angeles and elsewhere, our comrades have distributed hundreds of copies of our communist newspaper. In El Salvador, we have also distributed <i>Red Flag<\/i> in several factories. Sharing all of ICWP\u2019s political actions internationally. In the struggle for the masses, proposing that Communism is the only solution for the working class.<\/p>\n<h4><a class=\"icwp-list\" href=\"https:\/\/icwpredflag.org\/wp\/wordpress\/volume-16-number-15\">Front page of this issue<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EL SALVADOR, October 25\u2014 \u201cOur collectives continue to meet, organizing communist political work, even with greater repression in the factories,\u201d said Jos\u00e9, a worker.
