On another level, the South of the planet and the global East can no longer stand the racist and neo-colonial supremacism of this “global North-West,” of which the European Union is the European pillar, and is confronting the EU-NATO bloc which, allied with open [neofascists] swarming in Kiev and the Baltic states, is the main enemy of all peoples, including the peoples of Europe and North America.

This is not to idealize Vladimir Putin’s counter-revolutionary régime, nor to deny the class contradictions that exist in People’s China, but simply to remember the “revolutionary defeatism” advocated by Lenin in 1914 and summed up by his German comrade Karl Liebknecht in the brilliant phrase: “The main enemy is in your own country.”

For it is our conviction that capitalism has become so reactionary that, in our time, what we call “exterminism” has become the supreme stage of capitalism-imperialism-hegemonism, with its globalized procession of destruction of social gains, political reaction and fascistization, obscurantism and the return of the worst religious fundamentalisms, as well as the destruction of national sovereignties.

But this is only one side of the question, and dialectically we must see that this situation enables and also demands more than ever the unity of proletarians of all countries; it demands the unity of the fight for democracy, for the sovereignty of peoples, for their free cooperation freed from blind and destructive competition.

We must fight for the proletariat, worldwide and country by country, to become the heart and ardent focus of a revolution uniting all those who want humanity to go on and life to triumph over death and the absurdity brought about by capitalist exploitation and [neo]imperial oppression.
