No to War, no to Exploitation! Daniel Gluckstein

UKRAINE en guerre

Editorial of Workers’ Tribune (French POID’s weekly) by Daniel Gluckstein, France, coordinator with Namiath Vasudevan (India) of the International Workers' Committee against War and Exploitation, for a Workers International (IWC). February 22, 5 pm.

At the time of this writing, no one knows what the outcome of the escalation toward war in Eastern Europe will be. Anything is possible. But there are a number of things that we do know. We know that the peoples have no interest in a confrontation. The Russian worker is not the enemy of the Ukrainian worker, who is not the enemy of the Russian worker. The French worker is not the enemy of the Russian worker, nor of the Ukrainian worker, nor of the U.S. worker.

No to war! « Who is responsible for the march to war? For what reasons? »

2022-03-01

Dans la soirée du 21 février, le président russe, Vladimir Poutine, a reconnu officiellement les « républiques » séparatistes de l’est de l’Ukraine. Quelques heures plus tard, les chars russes y faisaient leur entrée. Il s’agit là du dernier épisode d’une escalade militaire opposant les États-Unis à la Russie qui se poursuit depuis des mois. Qui est responsable de la marche à la guerre ? Pour quelles raisons ? Face à la machine de propagande, il peut parfois sembler difficile de s’y retrouver. Une analyse de Dominique Ferré. [...]

RUSSIA « The Workers Do Not Want War! » – Interview of Alexei [1], Trade Union Activist of the Solidarity Platform

Alexei: It is a confrontation between two economic and military blocs. On one side, NATO, on the other, China and Russia. Ukraine is only one of the fields in this confrontation. The Ukrainian working class is suffering from its own government and is under pressure from both East and West. 

In my opinion, both sides do not intend to go to a world war, but any slippage or provocation could lead to it. In the areas of the so-called "people's republics," the war has never really stopped since 2014. But a world war is not part of the imperialist plans at the moment.

RUSSIA Statement by Andrei Kalinkin, member of the Russian Group of OCRFI supporters

2022-02-14

The world is on the brink of a new imperialist war. One of the points where these rival bourgeois interests clash is the conflict between Ukraine and the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. 
It is in this context that the confrontation between Russia and NATO has intensified. Both sides are building up large military forces in the conflict zone and launching economic, diplomatic and propaganda attacks against each other.
But this does not mean any benevolence towards the NATO imperialists. [...]

UKRAINE Volodymir*, Ukrainian Labour activist

2022-02-14

Dear comrades, The regime established after 2014 is a military-police regime. All left-wing opposition is banned, as well as communist "ideology", "symbols" and press. The trade union movement has been weakened by leaders who collaborate with the regime. Strikes are sporadic, mainly in the mines. Any kind of protest against the regime is immediately labelled as manipulation by the "Russian aggressor". Political terror reigns on a large scale: according to the most conservative estimates, 5 to 10 thousand people are in prison, for "terrorism" and "separatism". The economy is in decline, not only because of the coronavirus, but primarily because of the regime's policy of war and de-industrialisation. [...]

ALGERIA Stop the repression of the Socialist Workers Party (PST) — Statement by the Organising Committee of Internationalist Socialists

2022-02-07

The Council of State ordered this Thursday the temporary suspension of the activities of the Socialist Workers' Party (PST) and the closure of its premises. 

We denounce with the utmost determination these iniquitous decisions. They are unacceptable attacks on the democratic rights and freedoms won by the youth revolt of 5 October 1988, which cost 500 people their lives – coldly machine-gunned down.
