The events unfolding in the heart of world capitalism, with the much-vaunted Capitol Hill being occupied by the MAGA (Make America Great Again) fascists, is the end-product of a process that announced loudly the coming of these days. Trump asked the Proud Boys to “stand back, stand by”. Now they have come forth to protect their protector, the proto-fascist Donald Trump.
India and its fascist government are having a particularly tough time dealing with the COVID pandemic. The pro-capital and anti-science stance of Modi led to an uncontrollable situation just like the governments of his brethren in Brazil and the US. In fact, India has just surpassed Brazil in the number of cases per day. One might hope that this disaster, together with the Third Great Depression whose effects are still being felt and the long-running issues of workers and peasants in the country would finally create big cracks in bourgeois hegemony and perhaps lead to a revolutionary situation. Yet the reality is a lot bleaker as when a direct political challenge to the bourgeois order is not present, the bourgeoisie becomes even more brazen in their attempts to override the hard-won rights of toilers and discipline the workforce evermore; not despite the pandemic and the political turmoil but by exploiting them.

We are publishing here issue No.6 for the year 2020 (Issue No. 138) of Communist of Leningrad, the bi-monthly publication of the Russian Party of Communists in Leningrad (St. Petersburg). We had earlier written, on the occasion of the publication of No. 1 of Sovetskoe Vozrozhdenie. Bulletin of the Association “Soviet Union” the following: "As a new year’s gift to our readers, let us say that we hope this is the beginning of a new level of cooperation between several Marxist entities in Russia and RedMed. We hope to be able to announce some great news in the coming weeks." The publication of Communist of Leningrad on RedMed is a new step in the same direction.
El hecho en sí, la realización de las elecciones al parlamento en la fecha prevista, fue una expresión de soberanía , independientemente del rol general del parlamento, o concreto, lo referido al desempeño que los diputados electos vayan a hacer después de su instalación. Por otro lado, el que votó y el que no votó, ambos no comen y el voto no soluciona el hambre a la que estamos sometidos.
The fact itself, the holding of the parliamentary elections on the scheduled date, was an expression of sovereignty[1], regardless of the general role of the parliament, or specifically, regarding the performance that the elected deputies will have after their election. On the other hand, both, who voted and who did not vote, have nothing to eat. Thus, going to vote does not solve the hunger to which we are subjected.

Han pasado días y semanas desde el terremoto político de las elecciones estadounidenses del 3 de noviembre, y las réplicas muy altas en la escala de Richter continúan.
Nerón Trump insiste en negar su derrota, el mundo en llamas, y como a cualquier Nerón le gusta cantar cuando Roma y el universo arden ...
Su primer movimiento, después de las elecciones, fue deponer al secretario de Defensa Mark Esper, quien el verano pasado se negó a enviar tropas para reprimir al levantamiento popular tras el asesinato de George Floyd. Esper fue reemplazado por Christopher Miller, un ex coronel de las Fuerzas Especiales Boinas Verdes y director del Centro Nacional de Contraterrorismo (NCTC). Luego forzó la renuncia del subsecretario de Defensa James Anderson, tercero en la jerarquía, y colocó a sus pretorianos en puestos clave en el Pentágono y los servicios de seguridad.

Expropriez toutes les entreprises à but lucratif du secteur de la santé ! Une solution internationaliste à un problème international ! Protégez la vie humaine contre les entraves mises en place par le capitalisme !
Stop national egoism! Start vaccination with frontline health workers and nursing home workers of all countries! Expropriate all profit-making companies in the health care industries!

Προστατέψτε τις ανθρώπινες ζωές σπάζοντας τα δεσμά του καπιταλισμού!

Days and weeks have passed since the political earthquake of the US elections on November 3, and the aftershocks, very high on the Richter scale, continue.
Nero Trump insists on denying his defeat, the world burning – and like any Nero likes to sing when Rome and the universe burn…
His first act, after the election, was to depose Defense Minister Mark Esper, who last summer refused to send troops to suppress the popular uprising following the murder of George Floyd. Esper was replaced by Christopher Miller, a former Green Special Forces Colonel and director of the National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC). He then forced the resignation of Deputy Defense Secretary James Anderson, third in command, and placed his Praetorians in key positions at the Pentagon and security services.
Suite à la seconde guerre mondiale, certains États (ou États-Nation) dont la France, ont acquis d’autres fonctions que les fonctions régaliennes. Pendant plus de 25 ans (1945 - 1970), la santé, la protection sociale, le système de retraites, l’enseignement de la maternelle à l’Université, le logement social, l’énergie (charbon, gaz, électricité), certains moyens de communications (la Poste, le téléphone,…), le transport ferroviaire, etc. ont été soustrait à la logique et aux intérêts du capital.
One of the most heroic actions of the international scene during the 1968 period was the Athens Polytechnic School uprising of November 1973. This was an open rebellion against a ruling military dictatorship, established as a result of a coup staged hand in glove together with the CIA by the so-called “Colonels Junta” on 21 April 1967. The uprising was, thus, a challenge to a ruthless military junta, which fell some eight months later. Rightfully, the Greek socialist movement commemorates every year the heroism of the rebels and remembers the dead who fell during this heroic act. But this year the police forces of the Mitsotakis government attacked the demonstrators fiercely and tried to break up the demonstration that has become a tradition of the political life of the country.

The voting is over, the ballots are closed. Trump has declared his victory, but the Democrats keep challenging him in several important states. However, in the face of Trump’s open moves towards refusing the results, the Democrats’ attempts to “protect democracy” do not go beyond verbal condemnation, pledging people to “count every vote”, and hoping to “get more and more blue as we count. What an effective way to resist a potential dictator!
The elections are once again at the door. Once again, the politicians of both parties race in proving themselves the rightful servant of the nation and blaming each other for the system’s ill. Once again, their rhetoric of serving the people’s interests thinly camouflages their real mischief – the fight over the spoils of the worldwide plunder. There is nothing new on the electoral front.

Filistin davasının Lübnanlı komünist savaşçısı Corç İbrahim Abdullah, Fransız emperyalizminin elinde otuz altı yıldır tutsak bulunuyor. Abdullah yoldaşı Fransız emperyalizminin elinden almak için birçok ülkede yoğun bir kampanya yürütülüyor. Bu çalışmalar kapsamında, Corç Abdullah’a Özgürlük Birleşik Kampanyası 14 Ekim akşamı Paris’te bulunan CICP salonunda bir etkinlik gerçekleştirdi.
L'impérialisme français retient en captivité Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, un combattant communiste libanais de la cause palestinienne, depuis trente-six ans. Une campagne intensive est menée dans de nombreux pays pour libérer le camarade Abdallah de sa captivité aux mains de l'impérialisme français. Dans le cadre de ces activités, la Campagne Unitaire pour la Libération de Georges Abdallah a organisé un événement le soir du 14 octobre dans la salle du CICP à Paris.
French imperialism has been holding captive Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a Lebanese communist fighter of the Palestinian cause, for thirty-six years. An intensive campaign is being carried out in many countries to liberate comrade Abdallah from his captivity at the hands of French imperialism. As a part of these activities, the United Campaign for the Freedom of Georges Abdallah held an event on the evening of October 14 in the CICP hall in Paris.
Η καραντίνα άρχισε απότομα στα μέσα του Μάρτη 2020, δηλαδή πολύ αργά. Οι Γάλλοι θα θυμούνται τα ασυνάρτητα και ψεύτικα λόγια του συνόλου των μελών της κυβέρνησης σχετικά με την πανδημία. Η κυβερνητική ανικανότητα και οι καταστροφικές συνέπειες της νεοφιλελεύθερης πολιτική για το δημόσιο νοσοκομείο (40.000 θάνατοι ανακοινώθηκαν από τα δημόσια κανάλια της TV στα τέλη Μάη – αρχές Ιούνη) υποχρέωσαν την κυβέρνηση να πάρει αμυντική θέση.
Début du confinement Le confinement a commencé brutalement mi mars, c’est à dire très tardivement. Les Français retiendront surtout les discours incohérents et mensongers de l’ensemble des membres du gouvernement à propos de la pandémie. L’incompétence gouvernementale et les conséquences désastreuses de la politique néolibérale dans l’hôpital public (40000 morts annoncées sur les chaînes publiques de télévision vers la fin mai à début juin) ont mis le gouvernement sur la défensive.
Война между Азербайджаном и Арменией за Нагорный Карабах, начавшаяся «вдруг» 27 сентября на линии соприкосновения вооружённых сил Нагорного Карабаха и Азербайджана, и идущая более недели при официальной поддержке Азербайджана Турцией, уже унесла тысячи жизней, в т.ч. сотни жизней женщин и детей, привела к разрушению домов, больниц и школ, дорог и другой инфраструктуры..
Η μαζική λαϊκή αναταραχή στη Λευκορωσία, η οποία εκδηλώθηκε με διαδοχικά κύματα διαδηλώσεων διαμαρτυρίας και απεργιών των εργαζομένων κατά του γραφειοκρατικού καθεστώτος του Λουκασένκο και της αστυνομικής βαρβαρότητάς του, πυροδοτεί την πιο εκρηκτική κρίση στον πρώην σοβιετικό χώρο μετά τα Ουκρανικά γεγονότα του 2014. Στην ιδιαιτερότητά της, δεν είναι, από κάθε άποψη, μόνο μια τεράστια εθνική ή περιφερειακή κρίση , αλλά μια διεθνής κρίση, με τεράστιες διεθνείς επιπτώσεις και παγκόσμιες κοινωνικές, πολιτικές και γεωπολιτικές επιπτώσεις.
Массовые народные волнения в Беларуси, проявляющиеся в последовательных волнах демонстраций протеста и забастовках рабочих против бюрократического режима Лукашенко и его полицейской жестокости, инициируют самый взрывоопасный кризис на постсоветском пространстве после украинских событий 2014 года. во всех смыслах это не только огромный национальный или региональный кризис, но и международный кризис с огромными международными разветвлениями и глобальными социальными, политическими и геополитическими последствиями.
27–28 sentyabrda əvvəlcə Ermənistanın Azərbaycan ərazilərini top və minaatan atəşi ilə vurması, bundan sonra isə Azərbaycan ordusunun bütün cəbhə xətti boyunca əks-hücuma keçməsi ilə Dağlıq Qarabağda müharibə yenidən başladı və sürətlə şiddətləndi.
The war between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, which began "suddenly" on September 27 on the contact line between the armed forces of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan, and which has been going on for more than a week with the official support to Azerbaijan by Turkey, has already claimed thousands of lives, including hundreds of lives of women and children, led to the destruction of houses, hospitals and schools, roads and other infrastructure.
Las elecciones parlamentarias previstas para el 6 de diciembre 2020, son un tema apasionante, lo comprueban las declaraciones y acuerdos sobre ellas, por parte de Trump, Pompeo, la UE, UK, países tan distantes y disímiles como el llamado Grupo de Contacto Internacional donde está Corea del Sur, Israel, Canadá y el Grupo de Lima. Deberíamos estar satisfechos con tanta devoción hacia nosotros.
The parliamentary elections scheduled for December 6, 2020, are an exciting topic, evidenced by the statements and agreements on them, by Trump, Pompeo, the EU, UK, countries as distant and dissimilar as the so-called International Contact Group where South Korea, Israel, Canada, and the Lima Group are. Venezuelans should be satisfied with such devotion towards us. There seems to be a dilemma: legitimate participation (recognizing the government) and those who do not participate in order not to endorse it, also denounce that they are fraudulent, everything is absurd. The anti-fraud right is a coup plotter and at the same time, the Maduro government invites them to participate which would be like absolving them of all guilt. You have to go vote.
Le Comité Central du DIP (Parti Révolutionnaire des Travailleurs) de Turquie s'est réuni ce week-end et a adopté une déclaration sur la guerre dans le Haut-Karabagh. Ce qui suit est une version abrégée de cette déclaration, omettant les détails les plus contingents et transitoires et s’occupant des aspects les plus structurels et durables de la question.
27-28 Eylül’de, önce Ermenistan’ın Azerbaycan’a bağlı bölgeleri top ve havan atışıyla vurması, ardından da Azerbaycan ordusunun tüm cephe hattı boyunca karşı taarruza geçmesiyle Dağlık Karabağ’da savaş yeniden başladı ve hızla tırmandı. Savaş yeniden başladı diyoruz çünkü Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan arasında ilk kıvılcımları daha Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılış süreci içinde 1988’de ortaya çıktıktan sonra 1992’de başlayan savaş 1994’te ilan edilen ateşkese rağmen bir barış ile sonuçlanmadı ve Dağlık Karabağ ve etrafında bulunan bazı bölgeler o zamandan bu yana Ermenistan ordusunun işgali altında bulunuyor. Ateşkes süreci içinde zaman zaman küçük çaplı çatışmalar yaşanmış olsa da bölgedeki çok yönlü güç dengesi yeni bir savaşın çıkmasına engel olmuştu.
The Central Committee of DIP (Revolutionary Workers Party) convened over the weekend and adopted a statement on the war in Nagorno Karabakh. What follows is a shortened version of that statement, omitting the more contingent and transitory details and dwelling on the more structural and durable aspects of the question.
A revolta popular de massas na Bielorrússia, manifestada em ondas sucessivas de manifestações de protesto e greves de trabalhadores contra o regime burocrático de Lukashenko e sua brutalidade policial, dá início à crise mais explosiva no antigo espaço soviético após os eventos ucranianos de 2014. Em sua especificidade, é, em todos os sentidos, não apenas uma grande crise nacional ou regional, mas internacional, com vastas ramificações internacionais e implicações sociais, políticas e geopolíticas globais.
Greece, where the borders of EU are, is also the entrance of thousands of war refugees from the third world. Among families with small children and babies, there are around 400 children with no family at all, no hope and no future.
The european countries, among them Finland, are obligated to provide asylum to these children, if they still want to call themselves civilized. It is about small kids, who at the age of 10 years old show suicidal tendencies among other psychological reactions. The main reason for these reactions is the post-traumatic shock about what they had been through during the war in their countries and also the treatment they had into the refugee camp of Moria.
