DOWN WITH MILEI, HIS GOVERNMENT OF THE BIG CAPITALISTS AND THE USA EMBASSY!
Last Year the parliament of the pro-employers’ politicians abdicated and gave all powers to the Milei government and its bosses, the big businessmen of AEA (Argentina’s Big Bosses’ Association) and the imperialist transnationals.
The PJ party, in its different forms, gave Milei quorum and “lent” him deputies so that all the anti-worker and nation-plundering bills could be approved.
Workers, oppressed people
and students are fighting back
The Peronist (now also Mileista) union bureaucracy, has already handed over millions of flexibilixed and precarized slave workers. It sold out the collective bargaining agreements and the workers' wages while thousands of layoffs go on
Now, those at the top, the big capitalists
and the IMF are coming for everything
Massive layoffs, guaranteed by the Kirchnerite union bureaucracy of the UOM (metalworkers), which has not sealed whole branch wage negotiations for a year and has already imposed negotiations by factory. At Acindar steelworks the layoffs of contracted employees have begun and now there are hundreds of (fake) “voluntary retirements”.
The tire industry has declared war on workers with hundreds of layoffs, furloughs...
At Pignanelli’s SMATA (autoworkers), that bureaucrat partner of the Kirchnerites has just acquieced in the firing of the entire internal commission of claims and the body of delegates... fulfilling Milei's and all the bosses' golden dream.
And he did this while Daer (health workers), Gerardo Martinez (construction), the “combative” Moyano (teamsters) were all hugging the secretary of labor of the Milei government, who is nothing more than a CEO of Paolo Rocca’s Techint group.
Tens and tens of thousands of state and health workers have been laid off and are defending their jobs in isolation, able only to carry out symbolic embraces, since the CTA (State and service Workers' central) has not organized any serious, centralized and decisive struggle of all state workers.
Meanwhile, more than 7,000 oil workers are going to be laid off in the southern provinces of the country.
At Sancor dairy conglomerate, Dánica margarina factory and hundreds of other factories, employers are firing perm workers to hire new, flexible or self-employed workers.
The Bosses are coming for everything.
All this is taking place while the employers prepare to impose a 12-hour legal work day on the workers, as was the normal in the early 19th century.
It's a lie to talk about “industricide”. What we have here is a real “workericide”, a social crisis that has led 90% of the population to survive under conditions of extreme poverty.
The famous “national industrial bourgeoisie” is lying. It cries because it is losing the internal market, it says, while its political representatives have already voted in the Congress for all Milei’s pro- economic opening bills.
They lie! They close their factories, the workers are being expelled unto the streets, while these bosses cover their machines with a couple of tarps, they turn importers, they join Mr. Galperin to sell under the counter through Mercado Libre (an all-Latin America Amazon-look-alike) and so, they continue running their businesses.
Others, the “Mileites from the first hour”, in the shops, in the SMEs, they are already rubbing their hands thinking about they are able to fire at will and having workers enslaved for 12 hours shifts at the machines.
They must stop lying! Here the battle is class against class. To defeat imperialism, the struggle can only be led by the working class and its allies, the exploited in the countryside and the city, who have no business in common with the imperialists.
Workers and exploited have fought, and today they are die-hard resisting
It is their leaders who have surrendered to the government and the capitalists
In Argentina we are not only facing a “hate speech”, a “cultural battle”, as the charlatans of the Kirchnerite bourgeoisie and their cockatoos say. Here we are facing an open war against the conquests of the workers and a repression of their struggles. Everything else is a lie and a cover to hide the war of the capitalists and imperialism against the working class and the oppressed nation.
“Hate speech” say the bourgeois politicians who pretend to fight meanwhile they sort everything out behind closed doors.
A police regime has been installed in Argentina, under Milei command, that partner of the fascist Netanyahu and the imperialist government of Biden yesterday and of Trump today, both of whom have imposed a true genocide in Gaza.
It is not surprising that due to the “Bullrich protocol” the attack on the achievements and democratic rights won by the masses is now deepening.
This medieval obscurantism, heir to the Church's Inquisition —the greatest enemy of the right to abortion—, is attacking the LGTBIQ+ community by stripping them of their rights, as part of the attempts to take a decisive step in the repression and “policialization” of an Argentina that has been strangled by imperialist plunder for decades.
We can't allow this! An injury to one is an injury to all!
The defense of the rights of the LGTBIQ+ people is the demand of the entire labor movement and youth.
Meanwhile, the leaders of the persecuted unemployed movement are being prosecuted for having led the struggle to demand the minimum right to eat, to have a job…
Those at the top are coming for everything. It's either them or us.
Those of us at the bottom, we have been divided. The union bureaucracies have isolated our struggles and, what is worse, have allowed the workers' ranks to be torn apart by the ferocious attack of the capitalists for years now.
60% of workers are already in a situation of absolute labor flexibility with months wages of ar$350,000. (around usd 290) A great inheritance from the Fernandez government!
75% of youth cannot find a job.
Retired workers who have been contributing their entire lives have had their money stolen en masse.
Contract workers are terrified of losing their jobs while wages for regular workers continue to lag behind inflation.
We are facing a new historical betrayal by the Peronist union bureaucracy, equal or worse than the one of the 1990s when they emerged as big businessmen alongside Menem.
On the other hand, the pro-employers’ politicians who manipulate the workers want us to believe that in 2027 elections, by putting a piece of paper in the ballot box, we will defeat the Milei government. And in the meantime, they are giving him a free hand and clear territory for him to attack the workers. They are all under the orders of the US embassy...
That is an infamy and a real lie i'm order to make us surrender without a fight!
Without union bureaucrats or pro-employer politicians...
THE WORKING CLASS MUST HAVE WEIGHT IN THE NATIONAL POLITICAL LIFE
Against the capitalist parasites; against imperialist plunder; against tariff increases and starvation and misery wages... It is necessary to win a new program to unite the demands and the workers' ranks!
No layoffs or furloughs! The capitalists, yesterday with inflation and today with money “stability”, have amassed and continue to amass enormous fortunes.
The minimum struggle must be none other than for a minimum living and mobile monthly wage of ar$1,800,000 (usd 1,500) for the working class to survive.
We must defeat the capitalists’ blackmailing with their threats of dismissals and furloughs!
As in 2001, every factory that is closing, suspending or laying off workers must be taken over and put to work under workers' control!
It is time for the people to be able to study the accounting books of their bosses and see the money they have taken out of the country, the over-invoicing and under-invoicing of their exports and imports with which they have stolen money from the people's taxes!
The “zero deficit” that the Milei government boasts of and is trying to present as a victory is nothing more than the massive theft of workers’ social wages. These are the ever continuing public services fees hiked, the rising of fuel prices, the supression of subsidies in transport, electricity, and gas, and the shredding of pensions to a historic minimum.
They have reached “zero déficit” with our money… We want zero deficit with theirs! They must put up the money!
Tax on large fortunes!
We must break with the IMF, expel it and seize the assets of the capitalists and their governments that contracted the fraudulent foreign debt! Nationalize the banks, the transnationals and the properties of the oligarchy without compensation and under workers' control!
We must recover the land usurped by the oligarchy so that the workers and the poor can eat and feed themselves with dignity!
We must unite the workers’ ranks! Everybody under collective bargaining agreement! Committees of the unemployed organized by branch of production and within the unions, so that from there we can achieve decent work for all and immediate food supply...
IMPERIALISM MUST BE EXPELLED!
CAPITALISTS MUST PAY FOR THE CRISIS!
They have declared war on us… it's time to fight them back!
Down with the police regime of Milei, Bullrich, the USA and their pro-employer politicians!
Drop all charges now against all working class and popular fighters!
We must apply “anti-picket” protocol against Bullrich so that she and all the repressors of the people go away. The murderous police must be dissolved!
For self-defense committees of workers' organizations already threatened and attacked by proto-fascist gangs and murderous police!
The achievements of the LGTBIQ+ people cannot be touched! Their jobs quota is an achievement of the working class that the union bureaucracy wants to surrender today.
In defense of public education and health! For the doubling of their budget based on a progressive tax on the oligarchy, which sells food in Argentina at a higher price than anywhere else in the world! End State subsidies for private education! Whoever wants private education should pay for it.
Church and State, separate affairs!
For the nationalization of all private medicine under the control of its workers and health professionals! A single, state-run, quality health plan at the service of all the people!
We must unite those who fight!
Down with union bureaucracy!
Coordination and self-organization committees of those who are fighting!
We must unite the health workers whose hospitals are being emptied, and the state workers who are fired by the tens of thousands and forced into powerless struggles in each establishment.
It is time to take the fight for all the workers' demands into our own hands from the grassroots.
We must ignore all the collective bargaining agreements signed by the union bureaucracies, which sell out our salaries, and allow layoffs and labour flexibility! They do not represent us anymore! Let them go back to work if ever worked!
For the absolute independence of trade unions from the State!
For the control of unions’ health care system by committees of grassroots delegates! Stop profiting from workers' health!
Make way for self-organization!
Against the handful of oligarchs who starve the people
Against the transnationals and their vulture and Wall Street funds
Against Milei's plan to open Argentina's borders to US imperialism, transforming our nation into a second-class associated state in order to finish colonizing it.
To stop the attack of the capitalists and the infamous police government of the Eurnekians, the Roccas, Elsztains, Galperins, Madanes, Bridas… of the US embassy, of the transnationals that plunder the country, it is not a matter of looking at the polls every day. They are 100 or 200 bloodsuckers and parasites. The workers, if we unite our ranks, we are millions, the absolute majority of the country, capable of changing history.
The working class must break with all the pro-employers politic!
THE PATH TO A GENERAL STRIKE MUST BE REOPENED!
So that they all leave and not a single one remains
Make way for the Argentinazo!
