All Out to Make Sure the Cause of Justice, Freedom, Democracy and Peace Prevails!
- Pauline Easton and K.C. Adams -
The working people through their struggles for
justice, freedom, democracy and peace are
developing a social consciousness that favours
them. The imperialist ideological crib features
profound anti-worker, anti-communist and racist
prejudices and an outlook which is supposed to
accept as normal a world divided between those who
rule and those who are their subjects. The entire
framework is designed to make sure the striving of
the people for empowerment comes to naught. It is
an ideological foundation to keep people from
bringing about the kind of change which favours
them. This means that the need has never been
greater to activate the human-factor/social
consciousness and go beyond the limits imposed by
the current social relations and arrangements
which aim to preserve the rule of elites over the
people.
 State-organized
anti-worker, anti-communist and racist ideology is
meant to stop the working people and the working
class itself from seeing themselves as the leaders
of a nation-building project to bring the modern
productive forces of industrial mass production
under the control of those who do the work and in
conformity with their socialized nature. The
working class is the greatest product of the new
productive forces and the only social class that
can control, tame and use the modern productive
powers without recurring crises so as to guarantee
the well-being of all and build a society that
humanizes the social and natural environment.
State-organized anti-worker, anti-communist and
racist ideology constitutes disinformation. It is
well-known that racism is state-organized to
undermine the unity of the working class in the
defence of its rights and building the New. But
disinformation is more than this. It refers to
that activity which wrecks the forms the people
need to put their own reference points at the
centre of their concerns, not the spin and
counter-spin of the ruling elites and their media.
The aim of disinformation is to block the working
class from seeing that its struggle to claim what
belongs to it by right from the social product it
produces is intrinsically connected with the
necessity to emancipate the entire working class
from class oppression and to eliminate all forms
of exploitation of humans by humans. The working
class cannot emancipate itself without ridding the
world of all forms of social class oppression. The
promotion of the current constitutions is to deny
the fact that the European forms of nation-states
created to further the cause of capitalism and the
capitalists as the end all and be all of
democratic rule can no longer keep the
contradictions within the ranks of the rulers and
between the rulers and the peoples striving for
empowerment in check. This is because the
conditions in which global oligopolies have
directly usurped the functions of the states to
further their own narrow private interests have
surpassed national boundaries and jurisdictions.
What is needed is for the working class to
organize itself as an independent social force
with its own institutions, thinking, agenda and
ideology that engages in actions with analysis to
move society forward to a higher form espousing
justice, freedom, democracy and peace. Racism,
anti-communism and anti-worker ideology are to
make sure this does not happen.
 State-organized
disinformation is to stop the working class from
fulfilling its social responsibility to unite all
the oppressed in a movement to build the New
without class exploitation. The condition in which
the working class came into being and has
developed de
facto considers that all humans are equal
members of the polity and all have rights by
virtue of being human. While the slogan which
spurred on nation-building in the 19th century was
One for All and All for One, today it is Our
Security Lies in the Fight for the Rights of All;
it recognizes that the security of any section or
individual can only be achieved in a movement
based on social arrangements and governance which
defend the rights of all.
The ruling imperialist oligarchy knows full well
that as a tiny segment of the population it can
only sustain its privilege, power, social wealth
and control if working people are divided and
without their own organizational form, thinking
and ideology. Which is why efforts to promote and
perpetuate racism, anti-communism and
anti-workerism are state-organized. Otherwise
there is no reason why many of the discussions
which take place would even exist except to take
hold of people's consciousness so that their
striving for change that favours them is led
astray. The ruling elite promote and enforce
racism, anti-communism and anti-worker ideology in
the present to weaken the working class movement
in defence of its well-being and rights and to
prevent it from organizing in sufficient strength
to challenge the rule of the imperialist
oligarchy.
Keeping a section of the working class as a cheap
labour force that can be exploited in specific
sectors, such as the service industry, healthcare
industry, agribusiness, construction and others is
well-known. It needs to bring down the
exchange-value of the capacity to work generally
and thus weaken the working class movement as a
whole in its immediate struggles to claim what
belongs to it by right and for its emancipation.
Also, because of the restricted economic options
of the super-exploited sections of the working
people, the ruling class deploys mercenaries
within the imperialist state's police and military
forces and the expanding number of private armies,
police and security services. Keeping in mind the
extent of the crimes of genocide and plunder of
the peoples of Asia, Africa, Latin America and the
Caribbean, never has the racism, anti-communism
and anti-worker ideology been so pernicious so as
to dehumanize people to plunder their natural
resources and value from their work.
 The splendour of
human development is such that by defending the
most vulnerable and laying the claims which belong
to the human person by right, humanity breaks free
from the chains which keep the working people
divided. The imperialists' ideological crib is
replaced with the enlightenment modern communism
stands for and the activation of the human
factor/social consciousness which refers to the
organization required so that the actions of the
working people propel humanity to humanize the
natural and social environment.
The current wave of opposition to state-organized
racism leads to the questioning and tearing down
of the imperialist crib in thought and ideology.
Organization capable of consolidating the gains
achieved is the task which faces the generations
leading the struggles today as has always been the
case in the past as well. The ruling imperialist
elite have much experience in sidetracking
movements in defence of rights but the people have
tremendous experience of their own. In this clash
between the Old and the New, the imperialist
ruling class is divided on every question except
the need to control the use of force, while the
working class and people have a common cause to
achieve justice, freedom, democracy and peace.
All out to develop the working class struggle for
emancipation and what belongs to it by right!
Let us march forward together as a great united
social force capable of changing the world and
building a bright future of justice, freedom,
democracy and peace!
