real democracy and social rights will not exist in capitalism
have the opinion of SAV 17.2.2011
The masses of Tunisia and Egypt proved that even the most powerful dictators can be overthrown be when a mass movement fights decisively!
In the 18 days of the revolutionary movement in Egypt were six million people on the street. They did not intimidated by the brutal attacks of the Mubarak thugs, but successfully defended their protest at the Tahrir Square. Key to the overthrow of the "Pharaoh" was the determination of the demonstrators in Cairo, the start of a solidarity of ordinary soldiers and noncommissioned officers with the revolutionary masses and the entry of the working class strikes and factory occupations in the revolutionary movement. Mubarak had to go to prevent a rebellion that would not only him but the whole regime can sweep away.
No confidence in the new and old leaders!
But the revolution has just finished a first step - the overthrow of the dictator, a member of a political revolution. The people are thus not yet in power, real democracy is not yet won. True to the motto "it needs to change something so that everything remains the same, "the military leadership has taken over control, not even the old, appointed by Mubarak government was deposed. Elections are to take place for six months, but only after the military, the new, by a commission appointed by it draw up constitution is accepted. That's six months in which to try the military leadership and the rich elite of the country to break the momentum of the revolution and "refined democratic" to reorganize. You try using democratic rhetoric to the forefront of the movement to make in order to deprive these of their content. The military leadership itself belongs to the "System Mubarak "and the rich elite of the country. The generals are major parts of the privatized former state enterprises. You will want to defend their wealth and power as part of the ruling capitalist class. They have begun by asking the demonstrators to clear the Tahrir Square to refrain from demonstrations and strikes.
The masses demanded freedom, democracy and social justice. January 2011 was preceded in recent years a tremendous increase in strikes, workers' and youth protests. Independent trade unions were established as an alternative to the official associated with the regime and undemocratic unions. Social justice and true democracy there can not remain as long as the social and economic relationships intact. As long as one hundred families still have ninety percent of the wealth of Egypt, there can be no social justice. As long as the plants are in the hands of families and multi-national corporations, and democracy will end at the industrial door.
Also a part of the opposition movement propagated by government "national unity", a coalition of middle-class pro-capitalist, left, and possibly also Islamic forces can be no prospects for meeting the social and democratic aspirations of the masses. In such a government would inevitably left the forces the concessions to the pro-capitalist forces and prevents making a fundamental change in society. Left forces should not participate in such a government.
for democratic workers' councils
The only guarantee that the objectives of the revolution will not tell you is to maintain the revolutionary movement itself!
It must first independent, democratic and militant trade unions are established in all enterprises. This process has begun, but he must take place under the democratic control of the workers themselves. The help that just by representatives of the Western bureaucratic unions is offered, should be addressed with caution. They want their unions to create pro-capitalist model.
should Secondly formed democratic councils and militias in the workplace, neighborhoods, and among ordinary soldiers, who can take control of the company in the hand, as in the days of the mass movement exerted neighborhood committees control over whole districts and begun in plants was cast by the exercise control. You could send representatives to local, regional and national congresses, in which is democratically decided on the future of the country. The expatriate representatives there would have to account for any time Which place be selected and deselected, and should not enjoy material privileges, but live on the basis of an average worker wage the lives of those they represent - and thus also share their interests.
An assembly of iron and steel workers in Helwan adopted a declaration with the following requirements: 1.The
confiscation of all the accounts and property of all the representatives of the regime and of all persons convicted of corruption.
2.Eisen and steel workers (...) call on all workers to revolt against the regime and the ruling party affiliated trade union federation to resolve this and establish new, independent trade unions, without permission, and commitment of the regime that has lost all legitimacy. were
3.The confiscation of all previous operations of the civil service, which sells closed or privatized and their nationalization in the name of the people and their management by workers and technicians.
4.The formation of workers' control committees in all enterprises for the monitoring of production, prices, distribution and wages.
5.A general assembly of all sectors and political tendencies of the people to draft a new constitution and the election without a real People's Committee on the agreement under negotiation with maintain the regime.
Such demands show the path that the revolution must go in order to be victorious. A Constitutional Council is appointed by the top now draft a new constitution. This has to be rejected! It must be a matter for the Egyptian people themselves to draft a new constitution - to discuss and decide in what a state wants to live for it. This should include the free and democratic elections are called for a revolutionary constituent assembly. This would, under the control of workers and neighborhood councils will be conducted to ensure that genuine representatives of the people are elected and workers, peasants and The poor majority in such a meeting place.
for a government of workers and peasants
Based on such measures, the power of the representatives of the old regime that are now Democratic turncoats, the capitalists and the military are broken and formed a government of workers and the simple farmers be. Thus, real democratic rights and effective independence of the Western imperialist states are achieved. In this must not trust to be set. The only goal of Obama, Merkel and Co. is the maintenance of labor conditions in the Arab world. If you want to abolish it, , the economy in the hands of the people go. This nationalization under democratic control and management through workers' councils of the banks and big companies in the country is necessary. A government of workers and farmers could easily develop on this basis, a Democratic plan to develop the economy, raising living standards and the development of social, educational and health care.
The Egyptian revolution must occur in the second phase: the social and economic transformation of this country. The masses have the great opportunity real democracy, socialist democracy to fight for - a system in which the interests of people in the Center back, not the profit interests of a small minority. To take advantage of this opportunity, the majority of the population for such a program can be obtained. Purpose of building a revolutionary socialist labor party is needed, which takes in the movements, businesses and trade unions working on such proposals and their implementation.
could then be the construction of a new Egypt, the starting point for the change in the whole region. The revolutionary spark jumps straight over to Algeria, Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and other countries. The SAV and connect the Committee for a Workers International for a voluntary, democratic and socialist federation the Arab countries, a democracy, freedom and a decent living standard guarantee for all.
