On the occasion of the murder of the Filipino revolutionaries

The fascist monsters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines kidnapped, tortured, and mercilessly killed ten Filipino revolutionaries, of whom Ka Laan and Ka Bgong Tao were two of the most respected revolutionaries in the Philippine movement. The Party of Labour considers this brutal act a mere act of desperation by the old comprador state. Failing again and again to fulfil the promise they made to their American masters, i.e., to put out the fire of the protracted people’s war, the old comprador state is pinning its hopes on individual terror.

The death of revolutionaries will not have the effect that the ruling classes and American imperialists are hoping for. The revolutionary history of the Filipino people will continue to be enriched and will not end when the life of certain individuals ends.

At this moment, we are reminded of the words of the fallen comrade, Ka Oris: “We are not afraid of death. Everyone will die either from disease or a bullet. It is important for us that our movement is just. We are fighting for the interests of the working class and their close ally, the peasantry. They are fighting for the interests of American and Chinese imperialists. And people see a qualitative difference in it. That is why we have many new, young cadres every year. And it is absurd to think that when we old people leave that the revolution will leave with us. Our revolution does not depend on one man. When Ka Oris is gone, someone of equal or better quality will replace him. The revolution continues because there is a basis for it.”

Long live the revolutionary memory of Ka Laana and Ka Bagong-To and fallen comrades!

Long live the struggle of the Filipino people led by the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army!

Balkan states in the imperialist war

The war in Ukraine between Russian and American imperialism in collusion with German, French, and British imperialism is taking on a form that will make it much wider in the chain of general imperialist war, whereby Ukraine is only a training ground within the conflict of transnational groups of capital. The war is waged mercilessly on the world capital market with the formation of imperialist alliances and with the efforts of many countries to try to position themselves so as not to pay the highest price of the war. That war can have a long cyclical phase, alternating between general destruction, “permitted” destruction, negotiations, occasional truces, and new alliances. The suffering of the masses is already statistically registered only for the propaganda purposes of the imperialists.

In previous imperialist wars, the Balkans was one of the hubs that played a significant role in general conflicts. That historical sequence can be intended for it again. The initial symptoms of such a course of events are already clearly visible.

“CONFLICT” OF SERBIAN AND ALBANIAN PUPPETS

Since its founding, the Party of Labor has supported the just struggle of the Albanian people in Kosovo for national liberation from the Belgrade regime.

However, liberation from the Greater-Serbian boot at the end of the twentieth century did not mean freedom for the people of Kosovo. They fell under the boot of a more powerful master and became another tool in the great imperialist competition in the Balkans. The current tensions over Kosovo, to which the Belgrade regime, with the support of the Russian imperialists, is giving special attention, is in the service of causing more significant conflicts in the Balkans; that is to say, it represents the resistance of Russian imperialism which is trying not to be pushed out of the Balkans. At the same time, it is an effort of aggressive Western imperialism to bring the Balkans under its control, and from which the Kosovo authorities, in their servility and powerlessness, seek protection, not thinking of continuing the struggle for the liberation of the people of Kosovo.

The misery of the European left

Since the beginning of the 20th century, when capitalism suppressed the revolution in Germany, not allowing the “plague of Bolshevism” to spread to the West, the European proletariat has increasingly sunk into reformist and opportunistic positions, unable to pose a real danger to the so-called western world of capital. For this, there were various causes: primarily in the concentration of capital on European soil, which remained together with the US the fortress of capitalism in the fight against the communist world behind the “iron curtain”, with a well-constructed repressive apparatus and powerful propaganda mechanisms that narrowed the possibility of revolutionary organizing. On the other hand, the position of the European proletariat was the position of the working aristocracy in relation to the proletariat of colonialized and underdeveloped countries in the rest of the world. This showcase of a consumer society proclaimed “political freedoms” with irresistible force, luring the world’s poor to come to Europe for a slice of bread and political security, fleeing poverty and endangerment. The victory of this capitulistic current among the leaders of the labor movement of Europe resulted in the fact that for a lifetime, this labor, led by such a left, represented the best dam for the preservation of capitalism. And not only the dam but also an ally to Western imperialism in its fight against “disobedient countries” and liberation movements around the world. Some expressions of solidarity with the liberation struggle around the world against the aggressive onset of Western imperialism ended at the level of the usual street demonstrations, possibly clashing with the police or appeals that were more an expression of humiliation than an expression of the strength of the rebellious masses.

False internationalism, true opportunism

The Party of Labour declared its stance on the issue of the war in Ukraine, taking up the position of proletarian internationalism. However, the outbreak of the war has more clearly outlined the roles of various currents in the movement. The ideological line in the international workers’ movement can be categorised into three main trends;

About Party of Labour

The publication of the Party of Labour with name “About the Party of Labour” is out. This pamphlet is to chronologically show the development path of an organization, to try to shed light on the issue of theory and practice of organizational forms, as well as the perspective of creating a revolutionary organization and movement in the Balkans.

Stance of Party of Labor

The global capitalist crisis is forcing imperialist countries to divide the world again in order to expand their spheres of influence. Regardless of the excuses used by the imperialists to justify their crimes, the military conflict in Ukraine is the result of intensifying competition between the two conflicting sides, which can no longer be resolved by diplomatic means and empty compromises. Competition for the market, raw materials, transport routes, spheres of influence.

Let’s stand up against a new war!

In the 1990s, Yugoslavia fell apart in the blood of its people. This disintegration was carried out by nationalist forces that emerged at the top of the system itself, reviving all those criminal ideas and collaborative forces that were defeated during the People’s Liberation Struggle (PLS) during World War II.

More than two decades after the end of the inter-ethnic conflicts, the rapid development of the general capitalist crisis and the rise of inter-imperialist tensions, war drums are heard again in the ruins of Yugoslavia. Once again, they’re playing with nationalist madness that would engulf the masses and spark new clashes. Again, weapons rattle, form criminal phalanxes and accelerate militarisation of Serbia, Croatia, BiH, Kosovo and other parts of the Balkans.
