release of PCI on Libya (4th) Cannibalism of the Tripoli regime shows the true face of an allegedly socialist regime, but supported by European imperialism!
After the riots Tunisia and Egypt, whose strength blew governments related to the families of Ben Ali and Mubarak is now the turn of Libya and the system of government centered around the Gaddafi family and tribes that support it. Compared to other countries, there is a difference: the revolt of the masses has turned into armed revolt in Libya, detachments of the army, air force, navy refused to bomb the population and it appears that some are past the side of the rebels, Gaddafi and his cronies can not rely on the military tribes of Tripoli and its mercenaries to African and Balkan suppress the uprising.
But none of the governments of these countries would have lasted so long - Ben Ali, more than twenty years, over thirty Mubarak, Gaddafi over forty - without the support, the support and international recognition accorded by the major powers imperialist: the U.S. first as a world power, then Britain, France and Italy, as former colonizers of the region, not to mention the USSR, in competition with Western imperialism, tried to enter the region. Diplomatic clashes that have increased tension between States, sometimes in one country sometimes in another, resulting sometimes in military action (as in Egypt in 1956, Libya in the early 80s, not to mention the wars in the Gulf or Arab-Israeli wars), are the natural consequence of the inevitable rivalry between capitalist powers, and when it reaches its breaking point, economic warfare and trade becomes a war at all.
However the general framework does not change, and for the imperialist countries have authoritarian regimes, especially in areas where decolonization could lead to political and social instability, was the "price to pay "for the proper functioning of the global economy and the return of capitalist profits! Also if Mubarak was used to Western imperialism to rein in the Palestinian proletariat through its good relations with Israel, Gaddafi has been used to control mass migration from Africa to Europe. Thus, the recent agreement (2008) between the Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi and Libyan leader was among its principal terms of migration control!
is one reason why the Italian government has continued, despite the massacres, support maintaining the power of Gaddafi, perhaps Libya in a split, as it has done for years: we remember the words of Berlusconi saying he would not intervene with his "friend" Gaddafi " do not disturb "in a moment as serious for his country. The French Government had drawn up the red carpet to receive the Libyan Leader, he remained until very quiet these days, he would remain at about its responsibility by sending hundreds of Chadian protégé (called a thousand) of fighters of the Presidential Guard to the rescue of the potentate of Libya from the first moments the revolt ...
During the "five days of Benghazi," of February 15 to 20, much of the population of eastern Libya was raised against despotism, the wave of mass revolts after Tunisia and Egypt, have affected, to varying degrees, Algeria, Morocco, Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Iran. From Cyrenaica, the rebellion has spread over 10 days up the coast to the capital Tripoli where there are entrenched Gaddafi and his praetorian and where the head of the "revolution" 1969 (in fact a coup) launched the war against his own people.
The number of victims continues to rise each day and now the TV station Al Jazeera speaks of 10,000 dead and 50,000 wounded, a massacre perpetrated by police, soldiers and mercenaries called by Gaddafi to crush rebellion and retake control of the country and business!
Cannibalism government of Tripoli shows the true face of capitalist power Libyan - for it is capitalism that is the basis of oppressive systems of government in every country the masses, the workers and immigrant populations ; Systems of government where in the country inflated oil and other raw materials, a thin layer of middle class accounts for the enormous wealth it draws, while the masses are condemned to misery and hunger, without power even claim any rights.
Representatives of major Western democracies that boast of the freedom enjoyed by their populations, have supported and armed the despotic and dictatorial powers with which they have been doing business in gold and in front of the massacres which succeed in today's Arab countries, they have one thing in mind: how save the profits from oil, arms sales or construction of infrastructure to "modernize" the country! Scholarships in New York, London, Berlin, Paris or Milan fall because of the chaos caused by the riots? It is an "international issue", it takes a faster reach the social peace, it will finance and global economy! The protesters are imprisoned, tortured, massacred by the thousands in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya or Algeria? It is the "problem" of Tunisians, Egyptians, Libyans, Algerians, internal problems in which should not interfere! Large plants of light and heavy weapons of the capitalist countries that have filled the arsenals of these countries have only one concern: how to continue to do business? Regardless of the bourgeois that thousands of unarmed civilians were massacred by soldiers, profits must be saved! And if there is more than Gaddafi, he will find another place to continue its business ...

In Rome, Madrid and Athens as in major European capitals, there is concern the possible influx of refugees from the other shore of the Mediterranean, and Italian ministers say openly what worries European leaders: the possibility that Libya could come to 300,000 refugees, the Italian Minister of Defense, claiming that there have more than 2.5 million African immigrants in Libya, stirred the prospect of a real invasion of desperate masses fleeing poverty, repression and war after the collapse of the Libyan state. And for this reason that Italian warships have begun to position themselves before the Libyan coast!
The true face of capitalism is not formed by the democratic facade of freedom of expression, demonstration, assembly and organization. Where these freedoms exist because they were conquered by long struggles in which the proletariat was at the forefront, and these freedoms are always more or less ignored, and because the limited bourgeois right that must always prevail, even reduce or suspend the other democratic rights is the right to exploit the best paid work to extract the surplus value which, for the capitalists, turns into profit. Faced with the worsening of social tensions that pushes the proletariat and the masses proletarianized to address the pillars of capitalist power and its symbols, the Democratic front shows that it is a hoax.
Rebellion, including military, shaking despotic regimes maintained by the imperialist democracies may well be to bring down local governments that had ruled by terror and repression, but through arrangements with other bourgeois government, less compromise precedents, the task of "restoring civil peace" and "pave the way for democracy" may not result in anything other than maintaining the dominance of capitalists over workers, the dominance of bourgeois interests and imperialist national population and especially the proletariat ; of petty-bourgeois lawyers, judges and especially the military will be gained in terms of social recognition, but the overwhelming majority of the proletarians and poor peasants still have to face the problems of daily survival always with great difficulty if not more. That is also for this reason that recent years millions of people, braving the perils of all kinds, have migrated and migrate across the world. But
found in the rich countries of Europe these masses of emigrants driven by poverty to emigrate? They are detention centers for undocumented immigrants, they find police and military the best equipped in the world who pursue them, detain and expel them, they are overfishing and illegal work, and even when they manage to be regularized, they face racism and prejudice philistine. Bourgeois civilization of these countries are the world a lesson on the benefits of democracy, based on the same economic and social structure than that of less developed countries: the capitalist exploitation, domination of economic, social and political class that has everything, how production as products, and therefore has the right of life and death over the proletarians of the world.
Social Surprises by fire that has lasted more than two months in the Maghreb and the Middle East, foreign ministries of the major capitalist countries of East and West have called on leaders of these countries to exercise "restraint" in the repression and to "respond" the demands of "freedom" and "reform". Regimes that for so many years were considered as solid, can no longer control their bodies, their proletarians. Ben Ali has fallen, has fallen Mubarak, Gaddafi is in freefall, Bouteflika staggers. But what I fear the imperialist powers, is less what is happening today, what might happen tomorrow, they fear that the popular revolt opens the way for revolutionary proletarian movement, that the proletariat against whom the bourgeoisie leads all countries in a struggle without truce is in the current uprising force to engage openly in the class struggle anti-bourgeois. The fall of Qaddafi could indeed revive the wave of social revolt in the region, thereby encouraging the proletarian masses of Africa and Asia to rise up in their turn against the despotism of capital. It is this fear that motivates the change of attitude of the United States which, when the armed rebellion heralds the end of Gaddafi threatened to intervene militarily in Libya.
Unfortunately for the proletarians of the country in revolt, the proletarian class struggle is not yet on the agenda; democratic illusions, too powerful There are overshadow the true interests of the proletariat class. And the proletariat of Europe and America for decades anesthetized by opium democratic passively contemplate these revolts instead of finding a reason to enter the struggle against their bourgeoisie, real vampires have sucked the blood of generations proletarians and peasants and the Arab Middle East: what would be the demonstration not to be complicit in repression, wars and crushing the peoples of these countries, which would be the only real way to show solidarity with the proletariat and ally with their class brothers around the world to defend the proletarian interests common to all.
Mubarak, Ben Ali, Kadhafi or others could be replaced tomorrow by a young soldier is called revolutionary or a political exile: it will not change much for the proletariat and the masses. The only real change can only come from the resumption of class struggle, not only in these countries but also in the capitalist countries that are the heart of the world capitalist Moloch!
Revolutionary communists welcomed the social revolts in the countries of North Africa and the Middle East not only because they are driving down the bloody despotic regimes, but also because they show the true face of bourgeois power in these countries as imperialist countries. Knowing that these movements, mobilizing all the classes that make up the people "starving" of democracy can not as such be transformed into revolutionary proletarian movement, the communist revolutionary material causes stress, not ideological, that sparked a revolt in bold bare hands and who pushed a young and combative proletariat to strike and demonstrate. It is impossible to expect that the revolts current social automatically lead tomorrow on the class struggle and it will require that the workers organize and fight independently for the exclusive defense of their own class interests, freeing themselves from illusions of democracy and the suffocating embrace layers of bourgeois and petty-bourgeois, and it will appear that in these struggles of the avant-garde elements to form the class party, the Revolutionary Communist Party, whose task will be to lead the fight to the destruction of bourgeois power, expression the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, whatever its form, and towards the establishment of the dictatorship of proletariat and the extension of the revolutionary internationalist uniting all the workers of the world against the bastions of the revolution-cons.
The road to recovery for the class struggle has never been simple and easy, this is especially true today where the power of the bourgeoisie was greatly enhanced in terms of despotism and social militarism and where the work of multi-decadal collaborationism social-imperialist allowed to sell its own holdings to the proletariat and to support the atrocities and wars of plunder the bourgeoisie. But this is the way it is necessary take to end the horrible massacres perpetrated by the bourgeoisie over the world to defend their class privileges, their private property and the whole system of capitalist exploitation which is based on their domination.
