The communist ideas, the communist prospect, are diffused only while working in the rows of the proletariat and not while being isolated in groups from the left or in line with capitalism. Alliance with these groups, whose policies are clearly opposed to the interests of the proletariat, can only lead to one opportunist cul-de-sac which in the final analysis serves only the intentions of the bourgeoisie by sowing confusion within our class.

Capitalism is our misery...
Let’s sow revolutionary confusion!

An answer to the leftist action of May First

The recent International Day of the Workers and the Workers, the last May first, was been served to us on one nauseating beds of Procuste by the various leftist organizations which pollute the proletarian political milieu of the whole Quebec. Indeed, a whole libertarian heap of organizations coming from burst horizons (NEFAC, Anarkhia) was linked with the Maoists and other Stalinist (Revolutionary Communist party, Carrefour Quebec-Cuba) around a judicious extremely confused leaflet to represent the anger of the so-called “poor” and “oppressed” of the whole world, two hold-all and vaporous terms which were are always used by the bourgeoisie - and which will never represent anything else than social categories with variable geometry; two terms, therefore, completely alienated with the Marxism and proletarian…

Thus, throughout the text, there’s no mention about the only class able to conclude the revolutionary project: the proletariat! The autonomy of the proletariat facing the class which opposes it – the bourgeoisie – is an indispensable condition for the development of its fights towards the communist revolutionary project; the only historical project, let us affirm this clearly, aiming it at putting a final limit at the capitalist mode of production. However, here we wish to put a flat: we do not doubt there’s some real revolutionary will on behalf of certain individuals composing these groups; perhaps even also of certain signatories groups which we doesn’t know the “program” yet and who would not have made yet the assessment of the fights and defeats of the working class since the introduction of a state capitalism during the Twenties in Russia.

Let us recall that the groups having signed this call do not share the same vision of the “anticapitalism” and class struggle. In fact, the majority of these groups are openly reformists, crypto-reformists, or do not even know that they drink at this water, while choosing various forms of capitalism (like the capitalism of Stalinist state of the PCR and Carrefour Quebec-Cuba, or the self-managed capitalism of the NEFAC).

Let us recall, again and again, that capitalism with human face does not exist. For the proletariat, to repair the broken pots of capitalism by capitalism is a misleading and impossible idea. Capitalism is a system of classes based on the plus-value produced by our class. Out of question to speak about human solidarity, then, as the call proposes it since this world is divided into two antagonistic classes which clash daily. Where is the human solidarity in events like Katrina? It is the majority of the times among the proletariat. Do we really see many of these superb bourgeois investing their time, energies, and money in our assistance? Very little. And often, it is the force of the things even which orders their assistance. Thus here, there’s no question of speaking about Communism since these groups are not communist in facts! For us the only social class which can change the world is the working class and proletarian internationalism is an essential condition to it.

The communist ideas, the communist prospect, are diffused only while working in the rows of the proletariat and not while being isolated in groups from the left or in line with capitalism. Alliance with these groups, whose policies are clearly opposed to the interests of the proletariat, can only lead to one opportunist cul-de-sac which in the final analysis serves only the intentions of the bourgeoisie by sowing confusion within our class.

Indeed, all alliances, common or antifascists fronts, with the left or the right-hand side of the capital (and ipso facto with fractions of the bourgeoisie), only lead, lastly, to the disarm of the proletariat in front of its adversary while making him leave the only ground where it draws its conscience and its forces, i.e its class terrain! Any political current which tries to make him give up this ground while trying to associate it with its interests which are contrary directly serves the bourgeoisie interests. For the Marxists, it will be never question of a less evil. The only objective which is valid is the transcroissance class struggles towards, initially dictatorship of the proletariat and in the second place, Communism.

Down with the dictatorship of the parties!

Down with frontism and popular fronts!

Live the dictatorship of the proletariat on a global scale!
