Just as capitalism demands the right to enter every area in the world and exploit every people in the world, so the USA now demands the right to take military action anywhere in the world, against anyone it declares a ‘terrorist’, including the governments of sovereign nations.
This global military offensive proves beyond doubt that Imperialism is not a thing of the past ? it is the essence of global capitalism today.
REVOLUTION opposes the wars of the USA, Britain and other imperialist powers.
We fight to build the biggest possible protest actions to obstruct the war effort of the imperialist countries, paying special attention to the workers, the women and the youth.
The working class has no interest in the victory of any imperialist power. We oppose a single cent or a single person being given to the War on Terrorism or any imperialist military attack.
We oppose capitalist standing armies and conscription – instead the people should organise their own defence.
We campaign for full democratic and political rights for soldiers, including the right to elect their officers and call them to account.
We demand the withdrawal of all US, British and NATO troops from overseas, including central Asia and the Middle East.
Abolish NATO and all imperialist military alliances. No to UN ‘peacekeeping forces’, which are imperialist armies of occupation in humanitarian guise.
REVOLUTION supports the right of semi-colonial countries to defend themselves against imperialist attack. Even where these states are ruled by reactionary regimes, we fight to deliver solidarity to all people resisting imperialism and to help repel the imperialists.
REVOLUTION supports the right of states like Cuba, where capitalism has been overthrown, to defend themselves against imperialist attacks.
Victory over imperialism will strengthen the resolve of millions around the world to resist global capitalism and US domination, and will hasten the day when reactionary Third World regimes are brought to account by their own people.
Hundreds of people have been arrested in the name of the ‘war against terror’. We believe that these arrests are racist and we will fight for the humane treatment for the official recognition of the thousands of jailed in the numerous official and secret jails around the world of the USA and their collaborators as prisoners with full legal rights. For the release of these prisoners in US, UK and those held in Cuba in Camp X-Ray.
We will fight against all racist laws and attacks on civil liberties made in the name of the imperialist war against ‘terrorism’. Attacks on civil liberties and the concurrent clamp-down on dissent will be used tomorrow against anti-capitalists and strikers.
