FRANCE UP TO DATE - December 6th
The most backward factor of the combat of the masses is the treacherous trade union bureaucracy and treacherous leaderships
These colossal actions of the insurgent masses were not appealed by any union or political party.
The trade union bureaucracy of all the trade unions has sold out all the battles of the working class in recent years at the negotiating table of the governments on call. Martinez, the Stalinist CGT bureaucrat, together with all the other unions, including the "anti-capitalists" of Solidaires, looked with total disdain on these struggling masses, who have called not to take part in the actions of the "Yellow Vests". But after weeks of fighting in the streets, barricades, roadblocks and now before such mass actions, the entire union bureaucracy met two days before the call of the "yellow vests" to win the streets again on 8/12 to conspire against the masses with the government and throw water into the revolutionary fires of this fight. They met to condemn "all forms of violence" of the protests and demands that the government "finally guarantee real negotiations."
Whereas the "anti-capitalists" and renegades of Trotskyism like the NPA and Lutte Ouvrière, at the beginning of these combats, pointed out that the working class did not intervene in this process, when actually they are part of the barricades, the pickets, the roadblocks and of the combats in the streets. These social-imperialist currents -with their policy of democratizing the institutions of the regime- seek to prevent the working class from fighting for the socialist revolution. They are enemies of the self-determination bodies of the masses and are against overthrowing Macron’s government and destroying this capitalist system.
But the working class and the rebellious masses know that to conquer their demands they have to overthrow Macron’s government. They started fighting without waiting for the unions or the reformist currents. They marched on the streets despite and against these leaderships, surpassing the limits of the unions and the reformist parties, their actions are 180° of the policy of these traitors.
This struggle in order to triumph they all must be defeated: the entire trade union bureaucracy and the treacherous leaderships of the mass struggle organizations must be expelled, the scabs of Martínez, the CP, and the "anti-capitalists" of speech, servants and supporters of the V Republic.
