Finally, after eighty days of brutal
bombardment, the humanoids of imperialism imposed then "peace" on tormented
Yugoslavia.
They imposed "peace" on the bomb-ridden children
on the uranium-poisoned earth on the toxic--polluted waters on the napalm-burned
woods.
They created thousands or refugees and brought
misery to both Serbs and Albanians.
They have established a NATO-American occupation
of Kosovo, Albania and FYROM, and set the conditions for occupation of
all the Balkans. This occupation they have imposed militarily and consolidated
economically. This occupation they secure politically as all the trash
posing as Balkan leaders hasten to declare submission to imperialism.
Both their war and "peace" show their true objectives
clearly. And these objectives are not the defence but the abolition of
even the most fundamental human rights.
The imperialist vultures want: The substitution
of the - whatever - International Law with their "right" to intervene anywhere...
with their "right" to bombard independent countries, to murder the freedom
of nations, to pollute the lives of peoples... with their "right" of life
and death an every human being... with their imposition on the peoples
to a new colonialism so as to cut up and divide countries like plots...
with their conversion of the peoples to modern serfs in a new capitalist
Middle Ages, peoples without rights, identity, or country.
This war had another especially dangerous side.
It was also part of the undeclared war between the West (US-NATO) and the
East (Russia, China, et. al.) in the West's drive to conquer more lands.
At the same time this war is an expression of the rivalry between the US
and the European imperialists in the US's drive to world hegemony.
In this undeclared war whole countries and peoples
get ground up. In this war the conditions for even a nuclear holocaust
are created.
From this point of view the responsibilities of
the bourgeois powers of our country are enormous, and their politics are
criminal, The government has entangled our country into the vortex of the
imperialist plans. This has culminated in the sending of military troops
in Kosovo.
In this way the government is not only an accomplice
to the crime against Yugoslavia and the Balkan peoples but also strengthens
the factors that - sooner or later - will drive our own country to the
Procrustean bed.
Facing this nightmarish prospect the peoples have
one and only real way out: socialism.
As the years pass and as capitalism shows all
the more clearly its abominable face, so it wild be more understandable
that the defeat of socialism was defeat for the peoples.
The negative aspects of socialism were part of
the inefficiencies that unavoidably appear in the course of constructing
(for the first time ever) a society that at its centre has human. On the
other hand the negative aspects of capitalism - exploitation, oppression,
earth poisoning, slaughtering people - are just the essence of a system
that has as god and driving force profit.
Today for the peoples the only way is not submission
but resistance to the offensive of the system. True realism is riot conformity
to the imperialist plans but the fight against them.
This is not an easy fight, but we insist on this:
The cost of this fight will always be less than what the merchants of death
have in store for us and our children.
Let's unite with all Balkan peoples against the
NATO-American occupation.
Let's build with them a common front of revolutionary
struggle against war, imperialism, and capitalism.
Let's march hand in hand to another society.
