VICTORY TO THE OAXACA STRIKERS!

DOWN WITH REPRESSION-DEFEND THE STRIKERS OF OAXACA!
URGENT ALERT-ORGANIZE PROTEST ACTIONS DAILY

This past Thursday November 2nd, more than 2,000 armed agents of the Federal Police (PFP), along with Military Police, Special Forces, State Police, local police in civilian clothing,PRI paramilitaries, riot tanks, spy planes and helicopters, tried to give a devastating blow to strikers in Oaxaca, where there have been more than 20 people killed, 62 dissapeared and many arrested for fighting for their rights; but they did not count with the organization and courage of the workers of city and countryside, who after more than 7 hours of hard struggle, using molotov cocktails, rocks, and anything they had at hand, made the repressive forces of the State retreat, causing them a humiliating defeat in battle. THE STRIKERS SHOWED THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN AND SHOULD BE DEFEATED. It was an important victory against the government of Fox and his successor Calderon who had been calling for repression for several months; It was a victory against the murderer Ulises Ruiz (governor of Oaxaca), but we should be ready for the counterattack, the struggle is not over.
The demands of Oaxaca strikers are just, but they should not end with the achievement of pay raises or the ouster of Ulises Ruiz, their struggle should be one of the expropiation of the expropiators, an anticapitalist struggle that ends the root cause of the problem which is a class divided society based on private property (capitalism). It is our job in Tijuana to overthrow Major Hank and Governor Elorduy, to extend the struggle to the U.S. working class to overthrow the bourgeoisie and their representatives in the Republican, and Democratic parties, having no illusions in the other bourgeois parties like the Greens.
At this moment it is URGENT TO OBTAIN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY against murderous repression. IT'S TIME TO ORGANIZE A NATIONAL STRIKE, against the ruling class on November 20, for SELF-DEFENSE WORKER GROUPS, WORKER COUNCILS, and a clear struggle to break with the popular front (class collaborationist) around the opportunist Lopez Obrador.
Down with all bourgeois parties (PRI/PAN/PRD).
VICTORY TO THE OAXACA STRIKERS!!!


ABAJO LA REPRESION-DEFENDER A LOS HUELGUISTAS DE OAXACA!
ALERTA URGENTE-ORGANIZAR ACCIONES DE PROTESTA DIARIAMENTE

El pasado jueves 2 de Noviembre, mas de 2,000 agentes armados de la Policia Federal Preventiva (PFP) junto con la Policia Militar, Fuerzas Especiales, Policias Estatales y Municipales vestidos de civil, tanquetas, aviones espias y dos helicopteros, buscaron dar un golpe demoledor a la APPO y a los huelguistas de Oaxaca, donde ya hay mas de 20 asesinados, 62 desaparecidos y decenas de arrestados; pero no contaron con que los trabajadores de la ciudad y del campo estan bien organizados y son valientes; despues de mas de 7 horas de luchar con bombas molotov, cohetones, varillas y piedras en contra de las fuerzas del Estado asesino Los Huelguistas de OAXACA TRIUNFARON EN ESTA BATALLA, MOSTRARON QUE EL GOBIERNO PUEDE Y DEBE SER DERROTADO. Fue una victoria contundente en contra del gobierno de Fox y de su sucesor Calderon que ha estado llamando por la represion por algunos meses; fue una victoria tambien en contra del asesino Ulises Ruiz quien es el gobernador de Oaxaca; Pero no se debe bajar la guardia, hay que estar preparados para el contraataque.
Las demandas de los trabajadores de Oaxaca son justas, pero no deben quedar en aumentos salariales o en la salida de Ulises Ruiz, debe ser una lucha anticapitalista por expropiar a los expropiadores, por acabar con la propiedad privada que es la raiz del problema. A aquellos que estan en Tijuana les toca derrocar a los Ulises Ruiz locales como Hank y Elorduy. Buscar extender la lucha a los Estados Unidos hasta derrocar a la burguesia y sus partidos en el poder (Republicanos-Democratas). En este momento URGE LA SOLIDARIDAD NACIONAL E INTERNACIONAL frente a la represion asesina. Ahora debemos organizar una HUELGA NACIONAL que inicie el 20 de Noviembre, por la formacion de GRUPOS DE AUTODEFENSA OBRERA, Consejos Obreros, y por romper con el frente popular (colaboracionista de clase) alrdedor de Lopez Obrador. Abajo todos los partidos burgueses (PRI/PAN/PRD).
VICTORIA A LOS HUELGUISTAS DE OAXACA!!!

  • This is great. Have you ever considered also listing your blogs on the conversations board on Uloop. It would reach more UCSD students. Just a thought.
