Déclaration de la Ligue internationale de lutte des peuples - Canada (ILPS-Canada)

La Ligue internationale de lutte des peuples - Canada, s’unit avec vous, peuple travailleur, forces progressistes et peuples autochtones, en cette Journée mondiale d'action de concert avec l’initiative Occupons Wall Street e t d'autres actions de la riposte à travers le Canada, les États-Unis et du monde entier.

ILPS-Canada, composé de 22 organisations membres à travers le pays, est sur la ligne de front dans la lutte contre l’impérialisme canadien. Il fait partie de la Ligue internationale de lutte des peuples, une formation internationale de plus de 350 organisations provenant de 40 pays pour promouvoir, soutenir et développer les luttes anti-impérialistes des peuples du monde. Il a un caractère large de masse et n'est subordonné à aucun parti politique, gouvernement ou religion, offrant l'égalité à toutes les organisations participantes.

Avec vous, nous nous unissons pour le changement global selon la ligne anti-impérialiste et démocratique pour protester et résister au pillage impérialiste, à la répression d'État et des guerres d'agression et pour exiger la fin immédiate de ces derniers afin de parvenir à une vie meilleure pour le peuple.

Nous condamnons le capitalisme monopoliste et sa politique néolibérale persistante d'avidité débridée, dévastateure des conditions sociales et de l'environnement naturel et pour l’escalade du terrorisme d'État et des guerres d'agression menées sous divers prétextes. Avec l'oligarchie financière en tête, la bourgeoisie monopoliste a ruiné la
vie des travailleurs et travailleuses et même de la classe moyenne au Canada et à l’échelle mondiale, mais particulièrement dans les pays du Sud.

La crise du système capitaliste mondial a déjà abouti à une dépression prolongée comparable à la Grande Dépression. Il déchaîne les forces d'agression du fascisme et militaires. Il est urgent que nous intensifiions notre lutte contre l'impérialisme et toute réaction (y compris le chauvinisme, le racisme, la bigoterie religieuse et le bellicisme) et pour une plus grande liberté, démocratie, justice sociale, ainsi que pour le plein emploi et des conditions de vie meilleures, pour le développement et la paix mondiale.

Nous saluons toutes les personnes, organisations et individus qui mènent la lutte anti-impérialiste et démocratique, aujourd'hui et depuis de nombreuses années. Les mouvements militants de masse actuels dans divers continents et pays sont inspirés par l'histoire de la lutte du peuple et sont dictés par les conditions actuelles d'exploitation extrême et de l'oppression à lutter pour les droits fondamentaux. Nous sommes déterminés à élargir et intensifier cette lutte et à l'élever à un nouveau niveau supérieur.

ILPS CALLS FOR GLOBAL ACTION ON OCTOBER 15 AGAINST IMPERIALIST PLUNDER, REPRESSION AND WAR
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
Chairperson
International League of Peoples’ Struggle
8 October 2011

The International League of Peoples’ Struggle calls on all its global region committees, national chapters and member-organizations as well as its allies to arouse, organize and mobilize the broad masses of the people for street marches and assemblies at the most prominent public places on the Global Day of Action on the 15th of October.

We urge ILPS-USA and its allies to participate vigorously in the occupy actions at Wall Street and all over the US. It is of great importance to wage resistance in the belly of the beast.

We unite for global change with all possible forces of the people along the anti-imperialist and democratic line. We must initiate the mass actions or participate in those initiated by other forces. We must cooperate and conjoin with a broad range of forces interested in any of the 18 concerns of the ILPS. We must protest and resist imperialist plunder, state repression and wars of aggression and demand the immediate end of these in order to bring about a better life for the people.

We condemn monopoly capitalism and its persistent neoliberal policy of unbridled greed for devastating the social conditions and natural environment and for escalating state terrorism and wars of aggression under various pretexts. Spearheaded by the financial oligarchy, the monopoly bourgeoisie has ruined the lives of the working people and even the middle class in both developed and underdeveloped countries.

The crisis of the world capitalist system has already resulted in a protracted depression comparable to the Great Depression. It is unleashing the forces of fascism and military aggression. It is urgent that we intensify our struggle against imperialism and all reaction (including chauvinism, racism, religious bigotry and war mongering) and for greater freedom, democracy, social justice, full employment and better living conditions, development and world peace.

We salute all the people, organizations and individuals who have waged the anti-imperialist and democratic struggle since a long time ago and in recent times. The current militant mass movements in various continents and countries are inspired by the history of people’s struggle and are driven by the current conditions of extreme exploitation and oppression to fight for the fundamental rights of the people. We are determined to expand and intensify the struggle and to raise it to a new and higher level. ###

BAYAN-USA Statement on Occupy Wall Street

Fil-Ams on OWS– To Stand Against Economic Inequality Is Justified and Necessary
 

Filipino-Americans across the US, under the banner of BAYAN-USA, salute the historic Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement in New York City and the surge of solidarity protests that have unfolded across the country and even globally. BAYAN-USA member organizations are amongst those who are proudly marching in the streets of downtown Manhattan as well as in Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco, under the umbrella call of exposing and opposing the vastly unequal distribution of wealth between the American people and the tiny financial oligarchy of banks and financial firms Wall St. represents.
 

At a minimum, OWS raises the basic question of fairness and equality, and the fact that there are no such principles under the current state of the US economic system. At a maximum, OWS has the potential to qualitatively raise the level of class consciousness in the US that can contribute to the shaping of a broad anti-imperialist united front in the belly of the world’s number one imperialist superpower. Whatever direction it takes, the unraveling of the rotten character of capitalism and its irreconcilability with human prosperity continues to push the angry American people to the realization that to stand against economic inequality is not only justified, but necessary for change to happen.
The ongoing decline of the domestic US economy in the form of the liquidation of the public sector, the hyper-dominance of military and prison industries, and the massive multi-trillion dollar bail-outs of big banks such as JP Morgan Chase and Goldman-Sachs is the result of a protracted domino effect from the worsening global economic crisis. This crisis is attributed to the flawed and unsustainable character of monopoly capitalism, or imperialism. Imperialism’s neoliberal economic framework, with its reliance on finance capital, has transformed the global economy into a virtual pyramid scheme of transnational bank transactions and predatory lending, built on risk and speculation versus the real economy. It is the same economic decline that moves the OWS protesters across the US because of rising unemployment and that is chronic to the Philippine economy, driving 4,000 Filipinos to leave the country everyday in search of jobs.
 

As a large immigrant group in the US, Filipino-Americans have a key role to play in exposing that the tyranny of corporate greed is rooted in the system of imperialism that not only impacts our communities here in the U.S., but is the root of the suffering of our people in our homeland and the cause of forced migration of Filipinos throughout the world. This is because of the Philippines’ particular experience as a semi-feudal, semi-colonial outpost for US imperialism, and how Third World poverty is manufactured out of this condition. This continues to be apparent under the regime of Benigno “PNoy” Aquino III, whose neoliberal economic agenda has turned the Philippine economy into one dependent on foreign investment rather than on its own domestic production as a nation. Without a Philippine economy that is nationally sovereign– including a genuine agrarian reform program that is equitable for the majority of the Filipino people who live off of it and a genuine program for national industrialization that can provide jobs so Filipinos don’t have to look for them abroad– the Philippines will remain tied to a rotten global economic system that is showing clear signs of decay, causing more burdensome misery for the Filipino people.
 

As with all other pyramid schemes, this one too is destined to collapse. But the timing of this collapse can be hastened by a broad mass movement determined to knock it down and build a better alternative. Just as the people’s movement in the Philippines for genuine national independence and democracy espouses a vision for socialism as a viable and pro-people alternative, as are governments in Latin America asserting their sovereignty by nationalizing their industries and natural resources, so must the American people fight for an alternative economic system that not only puts people’s needs over profits, but one that is not built on world hegemony and the destruction of other nations all over the world.
 

PEOPLE OVER PROFIT!
 

NO TO CORPORATE GREED!
 

DISMANTLE FINANCIAL OLIGARCHY!
 

DOWN WITH US IMPERIALISM!
 

LONG LIVE OCCUPY WALL STREET!
