 Progressive Labor Party on Race & Racism

OUR FIGHT

 

Progressive Labor Party (PLP) fights to destroy capitalism and the dictatorship of the capitalist class. We organize workers, soldiers and youth into a revolutionary movement for communism.

Only the dictatorship of the working class — communism — can provide a lasting solution to the disaster that is today’s world for billions of people. This cannot be done through electoral politics, but requires a revolutionary movement and a mass Red Army led by PLP.

Worldwide capitalism, in its relentless drive for profit, inevitably leads to war, fascism, poverty, disease, starvation and environmental destruction. The capitalist class, through its state power — governments, armies, police, schools and culture —  maintains a dictatorship over the world’s workers. The capitalist dictatorship supports, and is supported by, the anti-working-class ideologies of racism, sexism, nationalism, individualism and religion.

While the bosses and their mouthpieces claim “communism is dead,” capitalism is the real failure for billions worldwide. Capitalism returned to Russia and China because socialism retained many aspects of the profit system, like wages and privileges. Russia and China did not establish communism.

Communism means working collectively to build a worker-run society. We will abolish work for wages, money and profits. Everyone will share in society’s benefits and burdens. 

Communism means abolishing racism and the concept of “race.” Capitalism uses racism to super-exploit black, Latino, Asian and indigenous workers, and to divide the entire working class.

Communism means abolishing the special oppression of women — sexism — and divisive gender roles created by the class society.

Communism means abolishing nations and nationalism. One international working class, one world, one Party.

Communism means that the minds of millions of workers must become free from religion’s false promises, unscientific thinking and poisonous ideology. Communism will triumph when the masses of workers can use the science of dialectical materialism to understand, analyze and change the world to meet their needs and aspirations.

  Communism means the Party leads every aspect of society. For this to work, millions of workers — eventually everyone — must become communist organizers. Join Us!

Zionism leaves fighters injured over racist borders

BURIN, WEST BANK, PALESTINE, January 21– A group of 30 Jewish fighters, mostly over the age of 70, as well as two members of Progressive Labor Party (PLP), showed antiracist solidarity with the Palestenian working class in the village of Burin. They helped plant new olive trees where old ones have been uprooted.
Immediately, a group of settlers, armed with clubs and a firebomb, attacked, all in the name of zionism. All forms of nationalism is a deadend ideaology for our class; we need Jewish-Muslim unity against racism.
The small Palestinian village of Burin, near Nablus, for several years has suffered many attacks by settlers from the nearby highly illegal Israeli far-right settlement, "Givat Ronen." - The settlers brutalize the locals and destroy their property and livelihood, including uprooting olive trees - a major crop raised by the Burin's hard-working residents.
The Israeli military, ever-present in the West Bank, never protects the villagers - but quickly protects the settlers if the villagers try to defend themselves.
This type of nationalist racism is not new to the international working class. Just as we see across capitalist borders around the world, bosses will claim rights to land in the name of profit even if it means turning a blind eye to this robbery or executing our class sisters and brothers. Only with communism, when we smash nations and borders will we be free of racist violence and murder.
Israel STILL guilty of racism
The entire event was recorded on video and was quickly on the news. While in racist Israel, attacks on Palestinian villagers usually go unnoticed, an attack on elderly Israeli peace activists does enter the news.
This caused a major political uproar in Israel, as even many Israeli liberals felt anger over the cowardly and savage attack. Many called on the government to remove the illegal "Givat Ronen" settlement, which overlooks Burin, and to arrest the settler thugs. Nothing has been done so far.
The Israeli police force, which has recently been exposed for spying on political dissidents, and regularly spies on Palestinians, could have easily located and arrested the fascist thugs. However, apart from an online outcry (rather than actions) from certain politicians, Israel's liberal "Government of Change" has done nothing to deal with these criminals and their - once again - highly illegal  settlement.
Liberals and cops will never defeat fascists, as liberalism and fascism are two sides of the same rotten coin, and as cops often are fascists themselves or at minimum complicit in protecting fascist controls. The only way forward is revolution by building an international communist party – PLP!
A good starting point would be to invite younger antiracists to political events, to train against fascist pogroms.
In the long run, we must build a revolutionary movement to smash capitalism and fascism with the only alternative: communism.
