So, according to you the the E. Timorese have achieved real
'independence'
via their voting ! Really?? The E. Tomorese "independence' leaders have
cut their own deals with Australian and US imperialism, Also Portuguese
capital
has manuvered to get a cut of the action, plundering E. Timorese
offshore oil
and other resources. You may think putting a powder blue UN shield on the
occupation troops is some sort of liberation but the E. Timorese masses
are being delivered out of the Indonesian rulers frying pan and into the
Australian
and USA bosses bourgeois fire .
Your own illusions in bourgeois democracy are at root of your hosannas to
alleged
E. Timorese "independence" , a mirage in this epoch of world capitalist
economy.
Also E. timor will still be partly tied to the tender mercies of the
Indonesian bosses
too. Only a small segment of E. Timorese bourgeois types will benefit, and
this dependent on their
co-operation in putting the kabosh on any independent (real) Timorese
workers organizations
of struggle.
Australia and the USA and Portuguese businesspeople are flocking into E.
timor to cut contracts
for new businesses and trade, to increase their capital, profits, and
the UN troops are there to stabilize
things for capital . Workers fighting on their class terrain will be met
with the fixed bayonets or worse
from the UN (capitals) occupation troops.
E. Timor has seen one master (Indonesia ) in retreat onlty to be replaced
by new more powerful
masters and exploiters united with local nationalist "independence "
gangs.
I'm sure the Australian bosses drilling Timorese oil will love your
apologetics, as well as the sprinklings of electoral holy water you have
politically sanctified this "independence" with.
For workers own organization and actions, not capitals electoral charades!
