People’s Class-Conscious Movement

Lima, July 26, 2013¹

Within the capitalist system, the aspirations of the proletarians can never be satisfied: only within a society that is not divided into classes can the worker achieve his integral emancipation.²

— José Carlos Mariátegui

At world level we are going through the last phase of capitalism, imperialism, which deepens its characteristics brilliantly raised by Lenin: monopolist, parasitic, and agonizing, leading to the greatest crises experienced so far in the world. The inter-imperialist contradictions (collusion and struggle) are sharpened and mainly the contradictions between the oppressed nations and the peoples of the world against imperialism, mainly Yankee imperialism, the main contradiction in the world. Imperialism is a paper tiger that is leaking from all its pores: ideologically, politically, socially, etc., mainly on the economic level. We are living in the general crisis of imperialism.

Yankee imperialism became the sole hegemonic superpower in 1992 and on September 11, 2001, it turned around and applied a total and global war “against terrorism.” From 800 military bases they had in the world before, today there are more than 1000. Increasing militarization of society. They apply a general counter-revolutionary offensive unleashing wars of aggression and plunder, genocide, looting, concentration camps, economic, political and military interventions to save their crisis (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Latin America, etc.). Increased militarization of its economy. It is sinking into economic bankruptcy and the recession suffered is being borne by the American people and the countries of the Third World. Expression of this are the different protests of the American people against the policies of their government. They will use more fascism and they will not be able to get out of it, the repression of the American people will be more brutal, the patriot law, etc. But they fail and will continue to fail because the crisis is found in the very essence of the capitalist system, its fundamental contradiction: the individual appropriation of the means of production and the socialization of production, the incessant development of the productive forces on the one hand and the capitalist relations of production on the other, where the richest become richer and the vast majority of the world become poorer. Imperialism becomes more aggressive, defiant, and hegemonic in its phase of decadence. The colossus with feet of clay sinks and will sink amidst the genocide it unleashes against the oppressed nations and peoples of the world.

Russia, the other superpower, the skinny dog, seeks to regain its areas of dominance and influence by using state monopolies, seeks to consolidate its war power. Between the USA and Russia alone, they possess 95% of the total number of nuclear weapons in the world. The second world in the so-called Eurozone, which is nothing more than the expansionism of German imperialism, deepens its economic and financial crisis, recession, growing unemployment, which they unload on the European peoples and semi-colonies such as Greece, Spain, etc. Chinese social-imperialism slows down the “locomotive of the world economy” and stops “the factory of the world” at the cost of the overexploitation of the proletariat, peasantry, and Chinese people. Japan does not overcome the recession. The first world is about to redefine itself, the same contenders of the First and Second World Wars are preparing, are preparing World War III for a new distribution of the world. Stormy times are coming on the world scene.

Imperialism in Latin America has been fiercely unleashing its low intensity war as part of the general counterrevolutionary offensive in the world. Its “area of domination”, its “backyard” is developing intense popular struggles in response to the policies implemented in the region, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru and basically Brazil. The Yankees apply their sinister plan seeking to numb the conscience of the masses through sports and religion, or is it by chance the presence of the Pope in Brazil before the World Cup and before the immense popular struggles in that country? Is it by chance the sanctification of former Pope John Paul II? And FIFA, what role does it play as an imperialist trans-national? Where is its hoax of 21st century socialism? Where is the emerging country imperialism is talking about? The Catholic Church plays its black role blessing the bayonets of fascism against the people. Latin America is vital for imperialism, that is why there is a hard contest (collusion and struggle) with other imperialisms (Russia, China) where they dispute the total control of the region. Brazil is the foreman of U.S. imperialism to numb consciences and contain the growing popular protest.

Hunger, misery, exploitation, oppression, aggressions, wars unleashed by imperialism, the weight of the imperialist crisis are sharpening the principal contradiction in the world. The main tendency today is the struggle in the world and it is becoming more alive. Popular liberation movements, popular protests, and struggles in all their forms are challenging the very foundations of the system. Asia, Africa, and Latin America is the volcanic cauldron that will inevitably explode. We live in historic moments where imperialism will be swept from the face of the earth. Of that we have no doubt.

In our country, the fascist, genocidal, and homeland-selling government of Ollanta Humala and his pro-imperialist, mainly Yankee imperialist, bureaucrat-landlord state, continues the policy (comprador bourgeoisie) of his predecessors in government: Fujimori, Toledo, García, are nothing more than puppets of US imperialism and the big bourgeoisie and landlords in our country. Fascist and traitor regimes that since 1992 have been imposed to guarantee imperialist plans, in some cases open dictatorship and in others (as today) covert dictatorship. The Peruvian economy and its “reinsertion into the economy of the world financial system” since the 1990s, means greater submission to Yankee imperialism, the FTA,³ Pacific Alliance, TPP,⁴ in talks (transpacific treaty, for its acronym in English) deepen this path. The Peruvian people and the peoples of the third world are burdened with the world economic crisis of imperialism.

The natural resources, land, enterprises, industries, etc. are handed over without measure to the hands of their Yankee imperialist masters, of other imperialisms, big bourgeoisie and native landlords (power groups) and to the bishop of Yankee imperialism in Latin America: Chile; leading us to greater pauperization of the proletariat and the Peruvian people. We are “exporters” of raw material and consumers of imperialist products. We are their market of trinkets. The imperialist companies put in 1 and get 10, they invest a needle and get a bar out of it. Imperialism does not pay taxes by law and we pay the highest water, electricity, gasoline, telephone, etc. rates in Latin America and the lowest salaries, wages and pensions in the region. Their hoax of “growth and development” of the Peruvian economy and that we are a firm and secure economy and we are “on our way to the first world” is crumbling at every moment, the people do not see development or growth in their pockets for years. The happiness of the bourgeois class is the unhappiness of the working class.

The exploitation, oppression, and unbridled plundering by imperialism and the different power groups in our homeland are leading to further aggravation of Peruvian society. Now they are seeking to restructure their old state by means of fascist corporate laws (reforms “police and armed forces,” “law of public teaching careers,” “teachers” reform,” “law of voluntary – obligatory military service,” “university law,” “law to serve,” and the upcoming “health reform” and others) according to Yankee plans. The crisis of bureaucrat-capitalism allows the development and advance of popular struggles. The struggle for a just and dignified life is growing and sharpening its swords.

Humala’s fascist and homeland-selling government resorts to fascism. It relies on the army and the armed forces, which are the backbone of the old state. It intends to impose its corporate, fascist, and anti-labor, pro-imperialist policies by blood and fire in order to serve its Yankee master more and better. For example, in the labor sphere, the so-called “law to serve” already approved in Congress is nothing more than the change of the labor regime to fire thousands of state workers, and they try to make us believe that without labor stability or labor rights and with the threat of firing. “Efficiency” is greater, a vile bourgeois hoax, the only thing they intend is to make cash, to save a “single” to be able to pay the foreign debt and create the conditions for the people to pay for the imperialist crisis. In less than two years this genocidal representative of the old Peruvian state has caused 27 deaths and hundreds of wounded by repression, millions of Peruvians in hunger and death by diseases he was supposed to prevent.

In the same way, with the disastrous teacher reform law, imposed by the executive, a blow is dealt to the teaching profession and the way and conditions are opened for the most unbridled privatization and to plunge the Peruvian people into greater ignorance and more poverty. We ask: What hope for progress do these pro-imperialist laws of the government bring? Where is their discourse of nationalism? And what do their allies who called to vote for Humala say? What do the CGTP, MOVADEF,⁵ the Left Opportunist Line, and those of the CEN Patria Roja⁶ say? That he turned to the right? Distribution of posts, miserable traitors of the class and the people.

At the level of higher education they intend to pass a university law to guarantee the policy dictated by their Yankee master, eliminating university autonomy, punishing “undisciplined” students and teachers, imposing doctrines of thought, that is to say, putting higher education at the service of the laws of the market, of the imperialist market of course. We ask again: When has the government and the state been concerned about education in the country? How much support does the government give to scientific research in the universities? How many professionals leave the country every year and increasingly? The state’s own data denounce the reality and corroborate what has been said. Profit in universities will not be touched because it follows the dictates of the IMF⁷ and the WB.⁸ Education is seen as a business.

We are faced with this reality: the growing popular protest is insurgent from all the forgotten corners of the country and from all the social sectors fighting against the policies and the black interests of imperialism and its lackeys in the country. We call to unite the people and we are in solidarity with the nurses, doctors, students, workers and teachers, mainly the Peruvian proletariat and peasantry to fight against the dispossession of their lands, to rebel and organize in a disciplined manner for the rights of the people, against the fascist, genocidal and homeland-selling government of “Captain Carlos” Ollanta Humala. We must be prepared for any contingency, strengthening and developing the popular liberation movement.
