Benghazi Derna, Al Baida, Tobruk, Zintan, Tripoli: The
riots Tunisia and Egypt extend to Libya, where Gaddafi is trying to drown in blood
February 20, 2011. Unofficial information spoke of 200-250 dead and 1000 injured. The protests erupted in the Libyan cities most important in the wake of the wave of revolt that affects the Arab Maghreb and the Middle East to the Persian Gulf and Iran. Protesters confront unarmed Libyan security forces and the authorities in Tripoli, fearing the brotherhood of the armed detachments and police with the masses who are demonstrating have used super-equipped mercenaries from neighboring countries: they have the advantage of having no ties or relationships with tribal people, especially the Berber people and Cyrenaica Tuareg, traditionally rebels.
The global economic crisis has had, it seems, less consequential than in Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt. This does not mean that unemployment is around 30% in this country of 7 million inhabitants (not counting a million "illegal" immigrants). Social unrest, coupled with an oppressive climate of authoritarianism and omnipresent political control by the government, to ban the right to strike, organize and protest, found in the rebellions in neighboring countries is an example to follow. Like a gigantic telluric force, a push to free up hardware brutal oppressive regimes shakes the basement economic and social development of entire countries, leading the proletarian masses proletarianized, petty bourgeois and peasant, to a spontaneous and widespread denial of established order. The objectives are simple, dramatically limited and vague: to end corruption and dynastic power of Ben Ali, Mubarak and Gaddafi obtain democratic rights, but more importantly, work and bread. And as in Tunisia and Egypt, the Libyan authorities respond by using the only immediately available to respond to a peaceful protest and stop challenging their power: the bloody repression, killings, shooting into the crowd .
In Libya, as in other oil producing countries that have a raw material vital to the economies of major industrial countries, the bourgeoisie think she has every interest in keeping the profits it derives by all means, including including by imposing social peace by bestial repression: this interest is shared by the imperialist bourgeoisie in Europe and America, even if they are ready in a few days to abandon the authoritarian regimes they have armed and supported for decades, even to maneuver behind the scenes to facilitate a "transition" that changes nothing essential and can resume business once the storm gone social. This explains the awkward silence of the European ruling classes or the timid calls for an Obama to end the violent repression of demonstrations and to give more freedom and democracy. What could we expect sides of the imperialist bourgeoisie dominant, though still more criminal than the Arab bourgeoisie? On the other hand as social movements do not exceed the limits of bourgeois democracy, citizen rights, as they do not address private property and capitalism, and even if they were to take the path of Islamism, they are just an half bad compared to the bursting of the class struggle, the fight directly proletariat against the bourgeoisie and its economic system. * * *
In 1969 a military coup led by a young colonel, Gaddafi overthrew King Idris First, at the head of a corrupt regime in the pay of Great Britain and especially the United States. The new regime was called the "Great Socialist People's Arab Republic of Libya". Needless to say that behind an ideology inspired by Nasser's pan-Arabism and European social-democracy, there was nothing socialist in power that played on anti-American nationalism. The first social was the doubling of wages, the establishment of corporatism involving workers at the plant management, the introduction of legislation based on the Koran, the prohibition alcohol, the closure of nightlife, etc.. Championing of revenge on the former colonialists, Qaddafi confiscated the properties of the former Italian colony at the same time he nationalized the oil companies to "restore the Libyan people's wealth usurped by the oppressors," according to the terms of his " Green Paper "(1976). These reforms and the demagoguery were necessary to win popular support for the new regime. Pompidou of France, eager to enjoy the setbacks of the Anglo-Saxon in an oil producing country, gave its support to Gaddafi by selling modern weapons (planes Mirage, etc..).
Libya is now the biggest supplier of oil to Italy and has forged close links with many companies in the former colonial power (such as Fiat). That is why Berlusconi has just said he did not protest at the repression in that country, because he would not "disturb" the Libyan government! As for the Sarkozy government, which woos Gaddafi, and since many months multiplied its efforts to increase French sales to Libya (including arms), he kept a deafening silence. Clearly, these reactions mean: repress and massacre, it we do not look! But it looks
proletarians of France and other countries, beginning with the Mediterranean countries!
Everything that happens in the streets of Tunis, Cairo, Algiers, Benghazi, Manama (Bahrain) Saana (Yemen), etc.., For the proletariat because when the citizens in the blood suppress movements social demand for bread, work, freedom to organize, they act as a ruling class against the dominated classes and the proletariat in the first place from which they derive most of their profits. When a middle class crushed his people in the blood, it not only defends his power its privileges, its rule, she also defends the interests of social and political domination of other bourgeoisie, whom she asked for help elsewhere. Competition among the bourgeois and their states is the rule under capitalism and this competition often leads to war, but against the proletariat and the masses proletarianized whose movement faces political regimes in place and could open the way for the fight proletarian anti-capitalist, their differences are put aside: the bourgeoisie all work together to ensure one way or another, the return to order. In this regard
also requires that the workers draw lessons from current events.
Current trends, with their dead and wounded, imprisoned and tortured their express social discontent in terms of democracy, a change of government, they can come to break down autocrats and their families, but the power remains firmly the hands of the bourgeoisie, will continue to be a capitalist power and will continue to defend the interests of the ruling class, perhaps using different methods in appearance, at least initially, but will always be authoritarian and build on militarism growing. This is a general tendency, although due to their historical traditions you resources at their disposal, this authoritarianism and militarism which express the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, are hidden in the imperialist countries by a veil - always thinner! - Democratic and parliamentary forms.
In Libya, as in Italy, Tunisia and Algeria as in France, in Egypt as the United States, in all countries, the proletarians are brothers class employees as slaves, but also as targets repression that affects them or threatens them everywhere because they are the only class that, by organizing field regardless of the immediate struggle of bourgeois forces, religious or collaborationist, and politically, by organizing themselves in full autonomy as a class party, has the opportunity not only to respond tit for tat attacks bourgeois, but go to the conquest of power, to destroy the state apparatus and the establishment of his own dictatorship, an indispensable condition for the emancipation of humanity from capitalism and all its horrors.
movements being opened a new page in the exacerbated social contradictions that characterize capitalism
For proletarians here to answer breaking collaboration between classes and rejecting the democratic mystification to embark on the path of class struggle! International Communist Party
