KAPITALISMIN JA IMPERIALISMIN VASTAINEN SUURTAPAHTUMA

Nelipäiväinen kapitalismin ja imperialismin vastainen suurtapahtuma kutsuu puolueita ja aktivisteja Ateenaan toukokuun 4.-7. päivään. Tapahtumaan kuuluu poliittisia seminaareja, kulttuurisia tapahtumia, kokouksia yms. Balkanilainen Sosialistinen Keskus "Cristian Rakovsky" tukee tapahtumia ja osallistuu niihin suurella kansainvälisellä edustuksella. Vallankumouksellinen vasemmisto keskustelee neljän päivän ajan itsenäisen tien mahdollisuudesta reformismin ehdottamien ratkaisujen ulkopuolella, niin kuin nämä näkyvät eri maailman sosiaalifoorumeissa esitettyinä.

Tällaiset suuntaukset ovat aikaisemmin sulkeneet pois sosiaalifoorumien työskentelystä vallankumouksellisia voimia kuten Kolumbian Farcin tai Espanjan ETA:n, mutta ovat hyväksyneet kanssakeskustelijoikseen Ranskan, Argentiinan, Uruguayn tai Brasilian hallitusten ministereitä. Kun Porto Alegren peruskirjassa (jonka ovat suomalaisetkin reformistit allekirjoittaneet) vaaditaan vapautustaistelijoita tuomitsemaan kaiken väkivallan muotoja, samaan aikaan nämä neuvottelevat Haitin miehittäjien kanssa. Samat reformismin voimat tukevat keskusta-vasemmistolaisia kapitalismin isännöitsijöitä Euroopassa.

Tästä tapahtumasta on monella taholla tarkoitus tehdä vallankumouksellisten voimien foorumi.

Trotskilaisten kansainvälinen osallistuminen vahvistuu päivä päivältä. Kreikkalaisen EEK:n lisäksi paikalle saapuu tovereita Progetto Communistasta. Näiden johdossa on Marco Ferrado, joka on vallankumouksellisten itsenäisten ammattiliittojen COBASin johtaja. Sen lisäksi toveri Marco oli mielivaltaisesti erotettu Riffondazionen vaalilistalta, vaikka puolueen sääntömääräinen kokous oli määrännyt hänet sinne. Bertinotti, Berlinguerin poliittinen lapsenlapsi totteli mielellään kapitalistipiirien käskyjä, jotka vaativat Marcon erottamista tämän Irakin sodan vastaisten lausuntojen vuoksi.

Muita toverijärjestöjä tulee:

Etelä-Afrikan Workers Organization South Africa (WOSA) Mucadelesi, Turkista E.H.P, myös Turkista

A.G.M., Itävalta Critique Review, Skotlannissa vaikuttava marxilainen teoreettinen lehti. Alternativy -puolue, Venäjältä
