In a society where most of the wealth and resources is in the hands of a few workers are in a class not by choice but by necessity. Like all the workers and employees have no way to feed themselves and their families if they do not sell their power work in a capitalist, a master. Wealth created by them steals a minority, the bourgeois class which uses it to buy the institutions, politicians, union leaders, media and governments.
The struggle for survival in times of crisis leaves workers completely alone, their organizations, influenced by large corporations and the government, leave them at the mercy of the master class. In trying to defend himself, groped on a daily basis to solve their everyday problems are forced to challenge the established order with individual forms of struggle with the limits of self, through hunger strikes, climb on rooftops, chimneys, cranes, to put even against their "representatives" inserted fully into the system and fed by them economically.
When workers are freed from the shackles and control where they take the institutions, parties and unions, supporters of the capitalist system and join with other workers organize themselves independently in the fight against exploitation, their strength becomes revolutionary and subversive.
Increasingly it is the unions and parties, which, although they say they represent workers interests to bear against those who claim to represent. Many former officials and union leaders become leaders of labor market institutions, regulators, mediators of the conflict between capital and labor do nothing but defend their conditions of privilege "conquered" by defending those who pay them.
The social pact based on a "class compromise" that recognizes the right of unions to negotiate for its members is that now bears the bosses to choose the "other party" more in line with its interests.
Today we live in a society where values \u200b\u200bare upside down, the exploiters, the capitalists and parasites that have never worked in their lives are awarded with the honor of the Knights of Labor, while the workers are hungry. The Fiat story is paradigmatic. Today
corporations, owners no longer enough to exploit workers, stripping them of rights as human beings. How Marchionne said if the referendum sought by the Fiat Mirafiori not won with 51%, the company will not make investments by shifting production to other countries where workers' rights are nonexistent. Workers will vote no in the referendum submitted to blackmail free of loss of employment. For the capitalists, the workers must not only be exploited, but also happy.
This Fiat is supported not only by CISL and UIL, UGL-Fismic (RSU in the last election that have achieved together over 70%), the government, Confindustria, and part of the CGIL, but also by many political center, including the various D'Alema, Fassino and many others. The only contrary to the FIOM COBAS and which have not signed the agreement, are excluded from representation at the factory, because the owner chose him instead of the workers who is represented and who is not.
The FIOM-CGIL, which together with the Governments (the center-right and center), Confederation of Trade Unions and other collaborators for years has hindered the Cobas representation for non-signatories of the national contract, when she finds herself in conflict with the choices employers are excluded from representation penalized by the same rules used against the unions of the base.
History is full of episodes in which organizations set up by employees with good leadership, once inserted into bourgeois institutions, accustomed delegated representative democracy, becoming patrons of salons and government circles tend to become bureaucracies run by professional staff. In this case also executives from the proletariat, changing material conditions become for all purposes of regime officials.
The economic crisis has led to layoffs, reduced wages, increased insecurity and economic instability, attack on collective bargaining, while it is being gradually dismantled government guarantees for workers and constitutional rights. The recent Lisbon Treaty, which has incorporated the national constitutions and European makes in the first place rather than a right, but the market which are dependent on their rights. In the globalized world, in which the various imperialist dictate the law, the illusion of strategies to solve their problems through individual, corporate, or local becomes increasingly a chimera which leads to bitter defeat the workers' movement.
In imperial society the workers, the proletarians, workers are not free and equal citizens, but wage slaves living only by working for someone else, and forced to starve and left in the middle of a road if unemployed. That's because workers rely less and less and less and less influential and yet there are those who continue to peddle illusions about peaceful change by calling the company's workers at the polls. Against the bourgeois class against capital we can only deal with the general strike of all national and international working class, the exploited, not only to limit the exploitation, but to abolish the wage system together.
The problem of workers' power, "the assault on the sky" in the past has made concrete if briefly in the Paris Commune and the October Revolution in Russia and elsewhere over the years has been diminishing becoming a fleeting memory. The proletarian seizure of power in Europe in recent decades for some it was only possible with voting for your party or union, or directed local and sectoral forms of struggle armed with small groups, all strategies that have proved unsuccessful. The class struggle, political, economic and in all respects, far more latent than direct, it is now to be asked again on the agenda. In the era of imperialism even more than in the past you can not defend and improve the condition of a sector of the working class if not at the same time improve the conditions of any other worker.
Experience has shown that there is a good capitalist, with a human face, which respects the rights of workers and a bad one that tramples them. If during periods of recovery in which all the owners are lavish affairs capitalists and their political representatives in the center or center-right governments, can afford to pretend to be "democratic" in the crisis increased competition makes the owners more "bad". The bargaining between the social partners and consultation, the result of the social contract between governments, employers and trade unions, the daughter of "industrial democracy" in the crisis is set aside in favor of more rigid control of the factory showing the true face, the other side of the coin, the brutality of the capitalist mode of production. His master's will become law without mediation, requiring the labor force, the violence of a system that appropriates the wealth produced by millions of human beings and combating trampling any law that hinders the accumulation of profits.
institutions beginning with the capitalist-imperialist governments that defend the interests of the exploiters and oppressors seek to govern mediating and moderating social conflicts to prevent the widespread discontent becomes explosive, suppressing any protests that obstructs or call into question their power . Today is no longer enough to try to defend themselves. As proletarians, workers, we can not get drawn into this limiting daily guerrilla attacks continue to resist capital and the changing market. The current system continues to produce that misery and grief for the working class has in the material conditions for its subversion.
And
'time in which workers do not suffer alone, but will resume in hand their destiny openly struggling for a society without bosses, which does not produce for profit but to meet the needs of humanity. We must return to fight for another economic and social system that abolishes the society that legitimizes the system of wage labor, whereas the exploitation of human beings, a crime against humanity.
Today, anyone critical of the current mode of production is branded a Communist. A chorus of politicians to strengthen the center must be added the trade unionists and leftist intellectuals within society and bourgeois institutions from which they derive benefits economic and social changes that are competing for the preaching of the sacrifices for the workers, and denigrate and repudiate communism. It 's time in which the labor movement is reasserting his own theories of her class. The class struggle can not just let her do the bosses.
In recent years anyone opposed to imperialist wars, poverty, exploitation of man by man or simply countered the power of monopolies and the powers that be asking for the application of the same laws for all middle class has been branded communism. It 'now time that the workers, the proletarians, the workers conscious revolutionaries who want to build a new society free from exploitation are no longer just a witness.
The workers may not be aware that only a specter haunting Europe, a tale of times past, but a reality that is beginning to shake the foundations of the capitalist system, yet quiet shaking the sleep of the exploiters, turning them into nightmares
