Congratulations to the Working Class of Iran and of the World!

The war between workers and the bourgeois government over the captivity or freedom of the worker-activist arrestees of May 1, 2004 resulted in the defeat of the bourgeoisie and a victory for the workers’ movement. The capitalist Islamic government of Iran under huge pressure of workers unwillingly withdrew the 5-year sentences for anti-capitalist working class activists.

This 2-year battle became one of the most important chains of struggle for the working class against capitalism.  The withdrawal of the sentence of the Mayday activists where they would have endured years in prison was an immense victory of the worker masses in Iran.  This victory was a result of the brave resistance of the accused.  Of the large-scale protests by workers in Iran and around the world against the sentences the most important was fundamentally owing to the struggle and resistance by the working class against capitalism.  The triumph in this battle shows that the bourgeoisie in the most brutal form can be defeated by the wave of struggle of workers.  This demonstrates that the working class, no matter where in the world holds the power, their labour-power to defeat the bourgeois capitalists and that the unity and solidarity of the working is an imperative factor in the resistance.  This victory was not a result of reformist unions, rather it was due to the struggle of worker masses everywhere against the wage-slavery system.  The working class is innately anti-capitalist and as the ravages of capitalism fester in workers’ hearts, the resistance and solidarity grows. 

 

We sincerely congratulate this worthy and significant victory to all workers in Iran and the International working class and to those arrestees and their militant resisting families!

 

Long Live the Worker’s Anti-Wage Labour Movement!
