A 3A GUERRA MUNDIAL E AS TAREFAS DOS TRABALHADORES REVOLUCIONÁRIOS

1. Os acontecimentos atuais na Síria são um prólogo da 3a guerra mundial. O imperialismo fabricou o “Estado Islâmico” (EI) e seu barbarismo, para realizar um Golpe de Estado na Síria e para justificar a recolonização do Oriente Médio. Mas o tiro saiu pela culatra. O imperialismo pôs o EI para justificar sua intervenção, mas a existência do EI acabou por justificar a intervenção militar russa. Por isso, neste primeiro momento, o imperialismo está confundido.

SYRIA - SOCIALIST FIGHT MOTION

Socialist Fight Motion On Syria

November’s annual conference of the Labour Representation Committee, to which Socialist Fight is affiliated, is fast approaching. We publish below the second of two conference motions being supported by Socialist Fight.

Negotiations with Russia and Iran disarm Syria of its chemical weapons and Iran from developing nuclear weapons and so prepare for a future attack against weaker enemies. They have been forced into a partial retreat because of:

1. The loss of the HoC vote on 29 August.

2. The likely defeat of Obama by Congress.

Public opinion did not buy the obvious lie that the ‘war on terror’ must defeat Al-Qaeda but Assad had to go by arming Al-Qaeda. The Sarin gas atrocity came at an obviously convenient moment.

Western Imperialism’s war aims in Syria are:

1. Increase its rate of profit by more direct economic control.

2. Defeat Hezbollah to protect its client Israel.

3. Prepare for a joint attack on Iran with Israel.

SYRIA STATEMENT LCFI

For Syria's military victory

against any imperialist attack!

International Statement by those unconditionally 
opposed to this Imperialist attack: Hands off Syria!

Liaison Committee for the Fourth International - LCFI

28 August 2013

We oppose unconditionally the imperialist attack on Syria and are for its defeat. The fundamental task of the hour for all serious socialists and anti-Imperialists internationally is to defend the national sovereignty of Syria against this Imperialist attack which is launched with Zionist assistance (a big Israeli military delegation is in Washington right now discussing with Susan Rice) in order to assist their allies, the Free Syrian Army and the various al Qaeda rebels of the Al-Nusra Front etc. There are no revolutionary socialists or anti-Imperialists fighting Assad in Syria, talk of what might have been is to support a phantom revolutionary army in the face of the very obvious reality of this Imperialist war of aggression.

We have every reason to suspect that Sarin and mustard gas (the same as used by the U.S. in Vietnam) which killed hundreds of people was more the work of imperialist terrorism in the region. Obama and the imperialist mass media are seeking to ascribe the blame to the Syrian government and are using this to justify the attack. And the same pro-imperialist forces, this time the KLA, fabricated a bogus tale of the Račak Massacre in Kosovo in 1999 (all the dead were KLA fighters) [1] to justify the bombing of Yugoslavia, just exactly as they are probably doing now with their Sarin gas “red line” and the Weapons of Mass Destruction lies used to justify invading Iraq in 2003 and the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 used to justify the war in Vietnam. [2] It is also reminiscent of the Gleiwitz incident a staged attack by Nazi forces posing as Poles on 31 August 1939, against the German radio station Sender Gleiwitz in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, Germany (since 1945: Gliwice, Poland) on the eve of World War II in Europe. This was used to justify the invasion of Poland in 1939. [3]
