IMPERIALISM: WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT ISN'T AND HOW IT ENDS

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Today’s wars are not a product of ego, religion or human nature. They are a necessary feature of capitalism, along with the earth’s ruin, the poverty of the “developing” world, and our very own workplace exploitation. ‘Imperialism’ is thrown around as a leftist buzzword with confused meanings, as if it’s a behaviour performed by certain bad countries. But it's no more nor less than the final phase of capitalism. The competition of businesses has become the competition of nations, for materials and strategy, for profits and power.

Imperialism is part and parcel of the global capitalist system, and no country exists outside of its reach. The devastations of imperialism will not end either with the independence of new nations or an international court of justice. Only the end of capitalism through a working-class revolution can put an end to the senseless barbarity.

Come and hear more on imperialism, what it is, what it isn't and how it ends.

ANTI-FASCISM AGAINST THE WORKING CLASS

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

On 30 July riots broke out across the UK which targeted Muslim neighbourhoods and places sheltering migrants, following a stabbing in Southport the day before. The riots were fuelled by fascist groups and far right websites spreading the conspiracy theory that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker.

Decades of racist propaganda from mainstream news sources, which blame immigrants for workers’ decline in their standard of living, have led to many thinking that immigration into Britain is the cause of reduced wages, homelessness, a collapsing health service, failing schools etc. rather than increased exploitation of the working class and capitalism’s economic crisis.

The response to this from capitalism’s political left has been to organise against fascism, with national demonstrations of the ‘great and good’ against the riots and against racism in defence of democratic freedoms. But fascism and democracy are simply strategies of the capitalist class to continue exploiting us. Strategies they use to recruit us to fight their wars. Organising specifically against fascism, amounts to supporting one section of the capitalist class against another. It is still in favour of the capitalist system. What we need is to oppose the entire capitalist system through the broader class struggle, leading to the eventual overthrow of capitalism itself.

While other approaches to anti-fascism involve small groups, engaged in physical confrontations with fascists, it is an approach that similarly offers no solutions to a system that breeds racism.

We argue that only the end of capitalism can put an end to poverty, misery and racism and only the working class can achieve this.

Come join us in a public meeting to discuss this.

WORKERS HAVE NO COUNTRY! FIGHT IMPERIALIST WARS WITH CLASS WAR!

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Imperialist proxy wars are raging in Ukraine, the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere. Behind these wars stand the major imperialist powers who threaten to extend the conflicts into a global confrontation – a new world war. The capitalist class worldwide are screaming ever louder for nationalism and demanding sacrifices. The truth is that the atrocities we see today are the true face of capitalism. They are a preview of what is to come if capitalism is not overthrown.

What stance should workers and revolutionaries take on these wars and the drift towards global war?

Come to a public meeting to discuss these issues.

THE DRIVE TO WORLD WAR

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Capitalism is pushing us to war. From Ukraine to Gaza, Yemen and beyond, powers large and small are enrolling workers to kill and die in defence of the interests of capital as their system is unable to throw of its permanent economic crisis. The British state – along with other NATO partners – is now openly warning the population that a new World War is coming. Parties right and left urge us to support this or that warring faction but the interests of the workers are global not local. We have no property to defend and no nation is worth one drop of workers' blood. The only war that workers have any interest in is the class war.

In this meeting, we'll give an overview of how we see the current imperialist proxy wars and how they relate to the 'crisis of capitalism', and we'll discuss what can be done by workers in the face of these wars.

CLASS WAR AGAINST IMPERIALIST WAR

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Imperialist war is raging in Ukraine, in Gaza and the Middle East. Cities are reduced to rubble, millions are refugees and millions more are starving and homeless. Tens of thousands of civilians have been killed, while over half a million workers in uniform have been slaughtered. For what? All for the benefit of the capitalist class and for the benefit of their profits. Workers are being mobilised as cannon fodder by the howls of nationalism coming from our rulers. Now we are being told to prepare for conscription in a future world war. All this is the outcome of capitalism and the only way this can be stopped is by the overthrow of capitalism. Only class struggle and international class unity directed to turning capitalism’s wars into class wars of workers against capitalists can achieve this. For a start this means unity of Russian and Ukrainian workers, unity of Palestinian and Israeli workers against their own capitalists. It means no support for any section of the capitalist class and their wars.

Come to a meeting to discuss:

  • How imperialism is leading us to world war;
  • How class unity, regardless of national origin, is the fundamental first step towards avoiding this war and turning it into a class war to build a communist world;
  • To discuss the political implications of all this.

INTERNATIONALISM IN A TIME OF WAR

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Internationalism is never more crucial than during wartime. The big imperialists use the smaller nations as pawns and send the working-class to die to protect the wealth of their ruling-class, while the world working class has neither property nor nation to defend. So-called revolutionaries and reformists show their true colours and line up behind one country or another in the name of social justice, national liberation, or anti-fascism. In truth, they are only participating in the capitalist drive to war. Our viewpoint, as internationalist communists, is always rooted in class struggle. We fight for no nation, only for the working-class in revolution. Class war is the war to end war.

In this meeting, we'll give an overview of internationalism and what it means to communists; we'll provide a history of the relation between Marxism, our tendency, and nationalist war; we will bring this context to today's situation and the current imperialist proxy wars; and we'll discuss what can be done by internationalists in the face of these wars.

IMPERIALIST BARBARISM IN PALESTINE AND ISRAEL

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Nearly three months and 20,000 massacred Palestinian proletarians later, capitalism continues to push humanity into the abyss. The imperialist barbarism in Palestine and Israel is only the latest manifestation of capital's march towards world war. Workers have no interest in sacrificing themselves for either capitalist gang in this war; instead, only fraternization between Palestinian and Israeli proletarians, and the renewal of workers' initiative across the world, has any chance at stopping the descent into generalized conflict.

Come hear the perspective of internationalists on the latest round of barbarism in the Middle East, and how we can fight against capitalism's bloody plans for humanity, in Lambertville, NJ, on Monday, January 15th, MLK Jr. Day, 3 PM, at the Lambertville Public Library, 6 Lilly St.
