They forget >>that the Europeans cruelly colonized the American continent, India and a >>great part of Asia; during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries millions of >>Spanish, Italians, Germen, English, French, Swedish, Portuguese, in other >>words, people from all of Europe were forced to emigrate to the Americas, >>seeking a better life, a job which was unavailable in their countries, >>some security that was denied them because of local and civil wars (recall >>the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939). >>They were welcomed and accepted everywhere. Their integration into these >>countries is plain reality. Europe now denies this same right to the >>peoples of the Americas that these peoples had generously granted to the >>European immigrants. >>The African people have been plundered, slaughtered, their local economies >>have been destroyed, they have been subjected to slavery by the European >>capitalists (of Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, France, Portugal and >>Spain) and today, after having plunged them into poverty and endemic >>famine, they prevent them from working in Europe. The immigrants risk >>their lives in fragile canoes or ruined ships trying to cross the >>Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar or the Atlantic Ocean. >>Today, neo-colonialism and the penetration of military and economic powers >>continue the plunder and ruin of the African continent; they maintain the >>reactionary and bloody governments in power and support them against their >>own peoples, as is the case with the autocrat Ben Ali of Tunisia, or the >>satrap of Morocco against his own people and the Sahraouian people. >>In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed, in which it >>said (article 13): “Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and >>residence within the borders of each State”. The immigrants, because they >>are without protection, must have the right granted in this article. >>Unless human rights are only for rich countries, for the colonialists and >>imperialists? >>Evo Morales, the President of Bolivia, having been informed about the >>content of this infamous decree of the EU, wrote a courageous and sharp >>letter, which was rapidly supported by many prominent leaders of Latin >>America, such as Correa, Chavez, and others. Morales states correctly: >>“the immigrants are not responsible for the problems of social cohesion >>that affect Europe; these problems are the result of the model of >>development imposed by the North, which is destroying the whole planet and >>is dismantling human society.” >>Even if we doubt their ability to do it, because of their capitalist >>interests and neoliberal policies, we demand that the EU draw up a policy >>which respects the immigrants and their rights, which does not stigmatize >>them or segregate them. As President Morales said, it is time for the >>European governments to fix “once and for all, the tremendous historical, >>economic and ecological debt that the European countries owe the Third >>World. (…) You cannot fail today with your “policies of integration” as >>you failed with your so-called “civilizing mission” in colonial times …” >>The workers of Europe and the whole world must unite to stop this criminal >>policy of discrimination by the reactionary European Union, which is like >>the policy of US imperialism and the other imperialisms all over the >>world. The slogan shouted these days in the streets of Paris by French >>workers and their immigrant brothers must resound forcefully in all >>countries where workers of other countries and continents are living; it >>is a slogan of solidarity, of fraternity, of resistance to the mechanism >>of exploitation of capitalism. >> >>“They work here, they live here, they remain here!” >> >>Workers’ Communist Party of Denmark >>Communist Marxist Leninist Party of Ecuador >>Communist Party of Spain (Marxist-Leninist) >>Workers’ Communist Party of France >>Movement of the Reorganisation of the Communist Party of Greece 1918-55 >>Communist Plateform of Italy >>Communist Party of Mexico (Marxist Leninist) >>Marxist Leninist Organization Revolution of Norway >>Communist Party of Labour of Dominican Republic >>Workers’ Communist Party of Tunesia >>Revolutionary Communist Party of Turkey >>Communist Marxist Leninist Party of Venezuela >>Revolutionary Communist Party of Upper Volta >>Revolutionary Communist Party of Ivory Coast >>Organisation for the construction of a Workers’ Communist Party of Germany >>Revolutionary Democracy of India >>Workers’ Front of Pakistan (Pakistan Mazdur Mahaaz) >>Group Che Guevara (France) >>“Proletarskaya gazeta” (Russia, Leningrad) >>Anatoly Pyzhov - Secretary by the International Relations of the Executive >>Committee of the Association of the Worker Trade Unions of Russia “Defence >>of Labour” (Russia) >>Working youth organization "Red Kommuna" (Ukraine, Kharkov) >>Marxist organization of the workers "Orion" (Latvia) >> >> >> >>_______________________________________________ >>Marxist-Leninist-List mailing list >>Marxist-Leninist-List@lists.econ.utah.edu >>To change your options or unsubscribe go to: >>http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxist-leninist-list >> >> > > > > _______________________________________________ > Marxist-Leninist-List mailing list > Marxist-Leninist-List@lists.econ.utah.edu > To change your options or unsubscribe go to: > http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxist-leninist-list > _______________________________________________ Marxist-Leninist-List mailing list Marxist-Leninist-List@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxist-leninist-list
