LA: The Necessary Solidarity and the Consequences of Not Practicing It

The Trump government incites war among the "white" proletariat, encouraging them to behave like American patriots who defend "their own." This leads them to accept the discrimination and detention of proletarians and citizens of foreign origin, as well as deportations and the fear created among immigrants in weaker situations. These immigrants are forced to accept worse wages, working conditions, and living conditions. The illegality of millions of immigrant workers favors capital. We cannot consent to this division, which benefits capital and provides it with a servile, frightened, or chauvinistic workforce. This allows capital to develop imperialist militarism and lead us to a third world war, all while advancing other people's interests and producing surplus value — work that is done but not paid for by capital — and achieving the greatest possible passivity and dispersion.

Every division among the proletariat, whether based on race, ethnicity, or other characteristics, provides capital with significant advantages and benefits! We cannot allow discrimination based on origin in the labor market or society. Nor can we tolerate discrimination based on sexuality, religion, or identity.

The working class needs solidarity and independent organization against capital in all its forms. It needs internationalism, not patriotism, which leads to confrontations on a social scale between the exploited and is a negative force. This only interests bourgeois forces or, unfortunately, those in the proletarian ranks who play their game, competing with each other and letting the state act as capital demands.

Solidarity is necessary and vital. For it to be effective and class-based, massive and radical struggles against capital are required. This means organizing as a class without accepting the systematic mistreatment of immigrant and proletarian sectors. We must confront capitalist domination and its democratic framework, where responses are sterilized and diverted and police and military repression becomes more effective. We can't afford to be weak; we must sharpen our teeth and bite collectively and in unison. In imperialist capitalism, it's a matter of life or death. We must do so with clarity and through our own means.
Workers of all countries, unite!

Let us fight against all forms of capital — private, cooperative, and state-owned — for a classless, stateless society, the only one that can create a world of cooperation, finally liberating us from the hell of class and commodity civilization, wages and profits, currency and homelands, and police who serve the domination of the bourgeoisie and its brutal rhythm of valorization and exploitation. Only conscious strength and clarity are worthwhile. We must organize as a class and as revolutionaries in a World Party to eradicate capitalist exploitation and oppression. It is crucial to break the cycle of everyone acting independently, which strengthens the reign of capital. To do so, we must come together as best we can, forming assemblies and coordinating groups to spread discontent and resistance to the State's plans and actions, with mass movements outside the democratic legal framework, where everything rots. Thus, in the arena of effective class struggle, where employees and the unemployed work together to clarify problems, inform themselves, and defend themselves at all levels without letting anything pass, striking back blow for blow and expanding their force more and more with the aim of eradicating imperialist capitalism and its states — the only thing that effectively protects us against war and increasing misery — It is the only thing that protects us against the effective tyranny of capital, even in democratic forms, with cretinous rituals where a sector of the working class participates as citizens alongside other sectors that are also citizens, but bourgeois. These citizens elect those who defend and manage the political and economic interests of the exploiters in an organized and centralized manner, as well as their armed resources, repressive measures, and judicial control—the real weapons of bourgeois states.

Otherwise, they end up in the meat grinder of wars and social devastation, which capitalist relations and tendencies are leading us to in the US, China, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Israel, Iran, and other states. They are all servants of their national capital's needs and their colleagues in the imperialist blocs fighting for world domination and the redistribution of wealth.

Trump and his colleagues, like the Democrats, show their fists. They use the police, from positions of state command, to detain, deport, and intimidate. They manage populations where they find labor and select a sector of cadres to serve them. The Democratic Party now claims to oppose Trump's anti-democratic authoritarianism. However, they share a respect for the valorization of capital and the Constitution, which enshrines it and designs the scheme of domination that they all respect and nurture in its common and fundamental characteristics.

Peaceful protests, measured police and military force, worker unrest, and petty bourgeois activism in American democracy

The state police and military forces have a strategy and the means to carry it out. Anarchist and national-popular forces engaged in clashes carry out small, violent skirmishes targeting repressive forces, street furniture, vehicles, and symbols of institutional power.

The struggle must be expanded to working-class areas to gain massive strength, not to stage guerrilla drills, which once again entertain and against which the police and the army advance when the time comes, after dispersing their opponents, who are often anarchists and nationalists.The police fire tear gas and rubber bullets, but they also have real bullets and more powerful material resources.

Only when the proletariat wins in numbers and clarity does it generate the force and resources to deploy them intelligently and forcefully. It is a matter of achieving this and not getting lost in trying to prick the steel titan with needles. He lets it happen and then advances, crushing and dispersing, planned and strategic, again and again.

The Trump administration allows peaceful marches. In other words, it encourages the organizers to control the "violent ones," the "infamous unpatriotic beasts," while simultaneously sending its armed hitmen into the fray.

It is necessary to stop production and organize the independent force of the exploited class — both employed and unemployed people.

Strong, broad mass movements are needed without respecting democratic limits. However, it is not advisable to wear ourselves out with limited, chaotic demonstrations where the enemy systematically wins. This radical petty-bourgeois terrain wears us down. Arrests, prison sentences, fines, dismissals, deportations, and torture crush us. They do so more easily when the struggles are of this kind. It is not enough to vent anger because, without a class strategy, organized expansion, and lucidity in the use of force, failure is inevitable.
