November 11: as capitalism escalates towards world war, the PRCF mobilizes for peace. 

In Paris and throughout the rest of France, PRCF and JRCF activists were out in force on November 11th to make the voice of peace heard. This is the fundamental struggle of the communists, who with Lenin’s rallying cry of Bread, Peace and Freedom, brought about the end of the First World War with the October Revolution and the revolutionary uprisings in Germany. This imperialist war led to the slaughter of tens of millions of workers, for the sole profit of capitalists and their bloody, exterminist division of the world. On this November 11, 2024, more than ever, peace is in the interest of the workers, it is the will of the people, while on the other hand, for their own profit, for the sharing and domination of the world, the Euro-Atlantic imperialist Axis under U.S. hegemony is escalating from the borders of Russia to the Middle East, via China and Korea, towards world war. Yes, the top priority for the workers of France is that our money, the exclusive fruit of their labor, should be used for wages, not for the wars of billionaires! 

This November 11th is a reminder of the great slaughter, the kind that led the workers of France to say, “This is the der des der”, in a word, the last one for ever, and following which, with the terrible balance sheet resulting from the betrayals of those social democrats who joined the sacred union of war with the capitalists, the workers organized themselves with the Third International into a solid Communist Party, whose intervention was so decisive in 1934 against facism, in 1936 with the Popular Front or in 1940 in the Resistance. This solid Communist Party is sorely lacking, and needs to be rebuilt as a matter of urgency. So it’s easy to understand why the reactionary, Europeanist right is calling for the public holiday to be abolished. To exploit and forget the terrible images of the trenches. These trenches where, in a “high-intensity war”, they plan to once again send the youth of France to fight Russia, and thus continue the eastward rush of the European Union’s great market… 

As the communist militants of the PRCF and the JRCF underlined in their speech in Brittany: “Yes, the greatest threat to world peace today is none other than the imperialism of the Euro-Atlantic EU-NATO bloc, which is supplying heavy weapons to Zelensky’s ultra-fascist Ukrainian regime, supporting despite its posturing the butcher of Gaza Netanyahu, who dreams only of setting the whole Middle East ablaze in a war against Iran, and provokes the People’s Republic of China by encouraging the nationalist government of Taiwan to refuse any process of rapprochement that the UN and the United States themselves have long recognized under the slogan: “There is only one China”. 

These three hotspots are gradually forming a veritable war rift that divides the world in two, and which, if they were to come together once and for all, would augur a new global conflict from which human hope could never recover. 

Yes, the defense of world peace must be our main priority and, in full agreement with Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg’s motto “the main enemy is in your own country”, let’s affirm that the priority is to fight the EU-NATO bloc and its “national” political relays, from Macron to Gluksmann to the ultra-reactionary and fascist Ciotti, Bardella, Le pen et consort. ”
