With the political responsibility we assume as the revolutionary vanguard of the working class and the peoples and committed to strengthening the struggle to put an end to capitalism and fight for socialism, the organisations and parties that make up the International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organisations (CIPOML) have successfully concluded the work of its 30th Plenary Session.
An objective analysis of world reality has led us to note the deepening of the fundamental contradictions of our era, the intensification of the general crisis of the capitalist-imperialist system, and the multiple negative consequences it imposes on the lives of the peoples. We live in a world that offers nothing good to workers, youth, and women from the popular sectors; a world in which the old desperately clings to power, even though it is rotten from within.
Inter-imperialist confrontation determines the course of the main events on the international stage. Its growing intensification bodes nothing favourable for the peoples; on the contrary, it brings about a slowdown of the world economy, the overexploitation of the working class, increased imperialist plunder, the intensification of violence against oppressed nations and dependent countries, the development of localized wars that may become more frequent, and the real risk of a military conflict of global proportions.
The capitalist-imperialist system, determined to extract the maximum profits and divide up domination of the planet, directly attacks the living and working conditions of the working masses and the peoples, and also causes irreparable damage to the environment.
The decline that U.S. imperialism has been experiencing for years, and its desperate drive to preserve its zones of influence and protect the interests of the monopoly groups that sustain its power, have brutally intensified its aggressiveness, openly manifested in the economic, commercial, political, and military spheres, as we have recently seen in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
China is currently the only imperialist power with the capacity and the will to challenge U.S. imperialism for hegemony. However, mutual recognition as rivals competing for world predominance does not eliminate the contradictions that both maintain with other imperialist powers and developed capitalist countries, nor does it cancel their struggles to preserve their own zones of influence.
We view with concern and repudiate the growing militarization of society, which cuts across the economic, political, and social spheres. The governments of the major powers and of many dependent countries subordinate their budgets, public policies, and forms of governance to preparations for confrontation, strengthening repressive apparatuses, criminalizing protest, and normalizing the military presence in areas that previously belonged to civilian life.
In this context, there is an advance of right-wing and openly fascist forces, which exploit the crisis to promote hate speech, restrict rights, divide workers and peoples, and shore up authoritarian projects in the service of big capital.
But in this world, protagonism is not found solely among the owners of capital. The working class and the peoples are carrying out significant protest actions that clearly demonstrate the advance of the class struggle. In the face of the Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people, millions of voices have been raised on all continents, denouncing the barbarity and demanding an end to relations with Israel and the Zionist occupation. Likewise, austerity policies, subjugation to foreign powers, the curtailment of democratic rights, and other expressions of the reactionary offensive have met with a firm response in the streets. The working class, youth, women, and broad popular sectors are mobilizing, rejecting these attacks and reaffirming their determination to achieve profound changes that improve their living conditions and open the way to a different future.
It is evident that mass movement struggles are being revived worldwide, along with the growing protagonism of youth in various countries. And when the masses find in struggle the path to win rights and confront their class enemies, they advance with greater determination, raise their levels of organization, and transform their indignation into a force capable of disputing the direction of society.
We live in a conflict-ridden world, but at the same time these are better times for the work that our parties and organizations carry out with a view toward organization and the triumph of the proletarian revolution and socialism.
It is imperative to work for the development and strengthening of a broad global anti-imperialist and anti-fascist movement; to keep aloft the banners against war, for peace, and for international solidarity among peoples; against the violence generated by the prevailing system. Our ultimate objective is to achieve the social and national emancipation of workers and peoples, a goal that can only be fulfilled with the working class in power.
For our parties to fulfil their mission of becoming the revolutionary vanguard of the workers, they must be strengthened in all respects –ideological, political, and organizational– and actively engage in political and social struggles.
The 30th Plenary Session of the CIPOML reaffirms the commitment of its members to the working class and to the oppressed peoples and nations of the world. We advance firmly toward fulfilling the responsibilities imposed upon us by history.
