When the people rise up, the ruling class has no choice but to submit. While we won justice today, we will never stop fighting until we have made a society in which George Floyd would be alive and well with his daughter, who correctly and famously said that her father “changed the world.”

The situation will open opportunities for the communists that demand the necessity of the revolutionary way out of the crisis of the imperialist-capitalist system, the revolutionary passage to socialism in order to abolish exploitation and economic crises, to prevent and manage the pandemics and develop the economy in equilibrium with nature.

Capitalism is once again in a crisis phase. In general, it is a historical context of revolution. Because there is the “law of the non-correspondence between the development of the productive forces and the social relations of production,” revealed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. But it is only within a historical context, that the task of the revolution must be properly dealt with.

We Marxist-Leninists, revolutionaries, must adequately interpret the current situation that demands that the task that cannot be postponed for the construction of the most solid unity of the workers and popular sectors in order to organize and demand from the new government the proposals and offers formulated in the campaign. This will undoubtedly open up for the popular movement and its organizations a new political situation that allows its strengthening and consolidation, in pursuit of the free and sovereign Ecuador, for which we fight!

On this #TransDayOfVisibility, the American Party of Labor sends its firmest solidarity to our trans comrades, members, and friends, and to those struggling under prejudice, violence, poverty, and isolation because of their identity.

Newroz is a celebration of the New Year, and with it new beginnings. We wish new and bright beginnings for workers and oppressed peoples of the Middle East for a just future.

Who funds police unions? It's the same banks charging usurious APR and who cost millions their mortgages during the 2008 financial crash.

These intensified attacks can only be confronted by a strengthened and united struggle of all workers and laborers, with working women as an inseparable part of them.

I constantly find solace in the words of Marx, who tells us revolution is inevitable, and in our comrades, who work every day to ensure this. Together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

This new year, let’s continue our movement for justice against barbaric pandemic capitalism!

“Our lives as working people are too seriously imperiled to refuse to see, as the whole country did during this week’s debate, that we lose in either case—without a real popular movement.”
