Colombia - June 1st, 2021
30 days after the indefinite strike ... No one here has given up!
The only ones who surrendered were the bureaucracies of the National Strike Committee that gave up our fight
It’s time to regroup our forces, getting rid of the traitors to stop the massacre and prepare the counteroffensive!
Before it's too late, let's all march to Cali to set up a National Resistance Committee now!
After 30 days of uninterrupted fighting, surpassing their leaders and deepening the struggle with methods of civil war, the workers and the Colombian people made the government and the bourgeoisie tremble, placing on the order of the day the fall of the regime and the head of Duque the Uribist puppet. If this murderous government, hated by the majority, still stands, it’s because of the betrayal of the union bureaucracies of the National Strike Committee, which, in the face of the panic caused by the revolutionary uprising of the masses, on April 29 one day after calling the strike, they withdraw the call jointly and on a front with Stalinism, the pseudo-left and Colombia Humana of the bourgeois Petro.
These traitors today continue to negotiate on the spilled blood of our comrades and preventing the resistance committees, the popular assemblies and the workers' organizations, students, unions and the standing first lines from being centralized and coordinated in a National Resistance Committee, centralized in a workers and popular militia capable of confronting and dissolving the murderous police, ESMAD and crushing the fascists. The organizations that call themselves "revolutionary" and that sustained the negotiation of the strikebreakers of the National Strike Committee, refusing to call a General Revolutionary Strike, should stop giving them representation and join the call to set up a Resistance Committee in Cali.
Right now the habitants of Puerto Resistencia, in Cali, and in other cities of Valle del Cauca and the Colombian southwest, are being attacked in the middle of the night, with pistol and rifle shots against the defenseless population. A method of massacre of the vanguard, to terrorize and beat the workers and the combative working class youth, who, leaving everything on this battlefield, defend the few conquests that still remain and that this criminal government at the expense of imperialism intends to take from us, but despite the stabbing in the back, the masses have overcome difficulties, they learn and fight from their struggle organizations.
We make our the call to all workers' and peasant, popular, student organizations, from the first lines to send delegates to Cali to regroup our forces in a National Resistance Committee, whose first task is to organize a worker and peasant armed guard of the first lines in all of Colombia to guarantee security and self-defense marching to the neighborhoods and barracks calling on the soldiers under arms to ignore and disobey the officers and to pass with their weapons to the side of the exploited, because they are the children and the grandchildren of the thousands of murdered peasants and the more than six million displaced people dispossessed of their land.
Enough of murdering our young people who are the revolutionary vanguard of our combat!
Everyone to Cali for the bread, for the land, against repression, so that we do not have to moorn one more martyr!
From the First Lines we must march towards the factories that are closed and guarantee the inputs to put them to produce under the control of the workers.
Expropriation without payment and under workers' control of any factory that closes, suspends or dismisses, starting with the El Cerrejón coal complex that has just suspended comrades miners with the excuse of blockades and who have been starring in a months-long struggle against transnational imperialists mining companies.
To conquer bread, land and decent work for all, we must advance until we overthrow the Duque government and not stop until there are no traces of the pro-imperialist regime of the Yankee military bases.
Those from above have already taken our bread, our lands and even our lives ... It’s time to go for them, without collaborationist leaders who give up our struggles ... OPEN THE ROAD TO THOSE WHO FIGHT! UNITY OF WORKERS, PEASANTS AND STUDENTS. UP THOSE BELOW!
Land must be recovering for poor peasants and agricultural workers. Nationalization without payment of the banks, the Chiquita Brands, mining and oil transnationals.
ALL THE NATION'S RESOURCES FOR WORKERS TO EAT AND LIVE!
OUT WITH DUKE!
OUT WITH THE IMPERIALISM FROM COLOMBIA AND FROM ALL LATIN AMERICA!
FOR THE TRIUMPH OF THE COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION AS A LINK OF THE REVOLUTION OF THE AMERICAN CONTINENT AND WORLDWIDE!
