Statement of the Central Committee of the AUCPB in connection with the crisis over Iran
The explosive situation in the Middle East at the end of last year has escalated to the limit: The U.S. and other Western countries accuse Iran of secret nuclear weapon development. IAEA experts, controlled by the United States, declared to the world that Tehran's nuclear program allegedly was initially military-oriented and continues to evolve in the same way.
Despite the fact that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in his speech on September 22, 2011 at the 66th session of UN General Assembly rostrum, dismissed the charges, once again, officially announcing the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program, and blamed for all the latest international military conflicts on the U.S. and its allies, the imperialist countries of the West and Zionist Israel continue to escalate the situation in the Persian Gulf.
On January 5th 2012, the international media reported the decision the EU to join the U.S. sanctions to impose an embargo on oil imports from Iran into the EU (the final decision will be made January 30). Such actions of the imperialist powers and the rulers of the world Zionist circles are aimed at strangling the Iranian economy and the desire to bring to their knees the proud Iranian people.
In response, Iran has already declared that it would cut off oil shipments along the strategically important Strait of Hormuz (through which the 40% of marine oil exports, including into Europe and the U.S.) in the case of sanctions against the Iranian oil sector. In the adjacent area to the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has carried out a 10-day naval, during which new missiles of various classes were tested.
The USA, in turn, introduced into the training area in the Gulf its own carrier fleet, led by the aircraft carrier "John Stennis," which at the end of exercise left the region. Earlier in the Indian Ocean entered a carrier battle group led by the nuclear aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson" and sent to the Arabian Sea. Great Britain sent to the Persian Gulf its most modern and powerful destroyer "Dering." Israel and the U.S. in the coming weeks, plan to hold an unprecedented scale joint military exercise on missile defence, code named "Austere Challenge 12” (currently postponed on 16 Jan –Fb). There's no doubt that over Iran hang really dark clouds. This is evidenced by the last interview with U.S. Secretary of Defence Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Armed Forces Gen. Martin Dempsey of an imminent attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in case of disobedience by Iran to the dictates of Western powers.
The situation is exacerbated by the day and ready to get out of control at any moment, threatening to escalate into a war with unpredictable consequences, as even state officials say of those countries preparing for aggression: U.S., Israel and Britain.
The reasons for the next injection of war hysteria in the Middle East are rooted primarily in the exacerbation of contradictions in the capitalist world. The global economic crisis that began in 2008 with the U.S. mortgage crisis is not abating. Moreover, all signs of recession in the economies of the Western imperialist powers threaten to escalate the crisis in an even more devastating one than the crisis of 1929 - 1933's. Characteristically, this crisis increasingly encompasses the highly state-monopolist U.S. economy and the EU countries. Decreased production and increased unemployment in many capitalist countries are intertwined with such serious upheaval of the world capitalist economy as foreign exchange, energy and raw material crises.
The global crisis threatens the whole system of imperialism, in which the developed Western countries profit by plundering other nations. Particularly afraid of losing their dominant position in the world are the Zionist and American imperialists. As you know, the United States of America are parasitic in way of life, profiting by an unlimited issue of paper dollars, with which they acquire the necessary goods and raw materials. The global "currency" dollar is not backed up by anything other than the might of the U.S. military.
Military spending and war are the only way for the imperialist powers to rescue their economies from total bankruptcy and collapse. In addition, the Zionist circles, holding the main wealth of the U.S., expect a war to strengthen its dominant position in the world, drowning the rising competition, while burning empty dollars in the furnace of military spending, to prevent the collapse of the U.S. economy which is fraught with social upheavals.
After crushing Iran's desire for independent development by military force, the United States will have the opportunity to establish full control over the oil-bearing region of the Middle East. Suffice to say that the puppet governments of oil producing countries in the Persian Gulf have long followed in the wake of U.S. policy, as the previously recalcitrant Iraq defeated, and its oil fields are now working under the supervision of American monopolists.
In this chain of actions of the U.S. imperialists in the possession of control over energy resources of the world and to dominate the world, there follow the previously provoked by Western intelligence agencies "orange revolutions" in North Africa and the Middle East, which the bourgeois political scientists call the "Arab Spring". Among these acts of interference by the Western imperialists in the internal affairs of Arab countries, the most bloody act of naked aggression was against Libya, where they mercilessly killed thousands of civilians and the legitimate leaders of the Libyan government, headed by Muammar Gaddafi. There are continued attempts by the West, despite the thousands of victims, to shift Syria's legitimate government of Bashar Assad. Truly we are witnessing yet more fangs of imperialism, when oil becomes more expensive than human blood. With this, the implementation by the West of "orange revolutions" in the Arab East, at the same time should be regarded as a kind of "cleansing" of the rear before a planned war with Iran.
The Zionist circles in the U.S. and Israel are well aware that if Iran does acquire nuclear weapons, then their dictate in the region will be possibly limited, and so the imperialist aggressors have learned well their lessons against socialist DPRK. So first and foremost, we can expect military strikes on Iran's underground nuclear facilities.
Subjecting Iran to its domination is the intermediate objective in the chain of the global challenges of the U.S. imperialists for world domination. Their main goal remains the same - the elimination of Russia as an independent state and the suppression of its main competitor at this point in the economic sphere - China.
There is no doubt in the anti-Russian orientation of the U.S. missile defence system in Europe by virtually all independent experts. Setting up a similar missile defence system in Iran, the U.S. will have closed off its chain of anti-missile bases against the heart of Russia - its European part. In addition, the deployment of American troops to the southern underbelly of Russia from the Caucasus is fraught with the establishment of complete U.S. domination over the Caucasus republics, including over a member of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation), Armenia and the final destabilization in the North Caucasus republics and subsequent rejection of Russia by the entire southern region.
In case of successful operations in Iran, the U.S. achieves another goal - they can place China's economy feeding off Iranian oil (China buys about 20% of all crude oil that Iran exports) on starvation rations, then with that, frustrate plans by the Chinese government of a gross domestic product output of China in 2020 reaching first place in the world.
However, the danger of all these plans by the American hawks lies in that a regional conflict in the Middle East could escalate into a third world war with nuclear weapons and the fatal consequences for all mankind. Moreover, the degree of danger of a military conflict is increased by the outbreak in the U.S. of a presidential race for the presidency, in which the current administration of Democrats, led by the "peacemaker” Obama, in order not to fall behind on scoring in the "protection of national interests of America" from Republican hawks, traditionally making warlike speeches can go to the most insane move.
The All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks is strongly opposed to the aggression being prepared by U.S. forces and their allies against the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as Western interference in the internal affairs of the Syrian Arab Republic.
We stand in solidarity with the peoples of Iran and Syria, which uphold the independence of their countries to the threat of aggressive aspirations of the imperialist and Zionist circles in the West.
We urge all peace-loving forces in the world to create an anti-imperialist front in their own countries and showing solidarity, to speak out against the outbreak of another war, fraught with the possibility to grow into an apocalyptic third world war with nuclear weapons!

WE SUPPORT THE HEROIC STRUGGLE OF THE KAZAKH WORKERS!

Statement of the Central Committee of the
All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks
On December 16, 2011, on the day of the so-called "independence" of Kazakhstan, the ruling regime in Kazakhstan of Nursultan Nazarbayev, in Zhanaozen Mangistau (formerly Mangyshlak) region shot oil workers of enterprises "KazMunayGas" and supporters of their local residents at a peacful rally. Also punitive shots were fired during the night of 17 to 18 December in the village of Shetpe, where the striking oil workers and local residents blocked the rail line that connects the city of Aktau (formerly Shevchenko), with the rest of Kazakhstan.
According to the Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan (leader - Ainur Kurmanov) and an independent trade union "Zhanartu" ("Revival", the chairman of the Central Committee of trade union Esenbek Ukteshbaev), resulting in the massacre, the regime killed at least 70 people. Hundreds were wounded and missing. The police arrested protestors, then beat and tortured them in Nazarbayev's jails by pouring cold water on their naked in the cold and, burned them with irons, as well as using other methods of torture, inheriting the atrocities of the Nazi executioners. They then tried to destroy the corpses of those killed and tortured to cover up the traces of their crimes.
The strike of oil workers' Karazhanbasmunai "and production branch" Ozenmunaygaz "(part of the structure," KMG ") began in May 2011 and lasted seven months. The workers demanded better working conditions and an end to the arbitrariness of employers, higher wages, freedom of trade union activities. That is, initially, their demands were not beyond the bourgeois law.
However, the authorities completely refused to meet the just demands of workers. Then began the persecution and murder of workers and trade unionists. Sentenced to 6 years in prison on far-fetched and utterly false pretences "for inciting social discord" filed by interim President "Karazhanbasmunai", citizen of China Yuan Mu, condemned union lawyer Natalia Sokolova, who became the leader of the striking oil workers. Trade union activist Zhaksylyk Turban was murderered, and brutally murdered Zhansaule Karabalaeva, a daughter of a trade union leader of a transport company, and other comrades, trade union activists and labour movement activists.
In November, saw the creation of a single working committee to establish joint workers’ union and adopted a number of complaints and allegations by the workers of Kazakhstan with a call to work together and present a united front. The workers supported the decision Zhanaozen Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan to boycott the elections to the Majilis (lower chamber of Kazakh Parliament) to be held on January 15 this year. The rally was planned for December 16, at which he was to declare the need for a general political strike, demanding the resignation of the government and President Nazarbayev.
The authorities knew perfectly well about the upcoming rally and decided to drown it in the blood of the workers' struggle for their rights.
This brutal crackdown on peaceful workers by Nazarbayev has put himself on a par with butcher Nicholas the Bloody, murderer Boris Yelstin and has also earned the infamous title of butcher of his own people - Nursultan the Bloody. They and the Chinese capitalists joint owners of "Karazhanbasmunai will not be able to not wash away the blood on their hands of Kazakh workers."
Developments in Kazakhstan, once again confirm the validity of our findings that in the Politburo of the CPSU ripened the HQ of counter-revolution, which led to the temporary defeat of socialism in the USSR and the People's Democracies, that under the guise of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" China under the leadership of the CPC has made a transition to the capitalist path of development, becoming over the years of market reforms, one of the major imperialist powers.
* * *
Over the 20 years of neoliberal reforms, Kazakhstan has turned into a typical country of peripheral capitalism with the commodity nature of the economy, brazen robbery and the sale of the richest mineral and natural resources, most severe exploitation of the working class and toiling masses of the country.
Kazakhstan has large oligarchic capital, led by President Nazarbayev, the billionaire and his son-in-law billionaire Timur Kulibayev (one of the owners, along with the Chinese corporation CITIC, «KMG"), his middle daughter, Dinara Kulibayev (wife of Timur Kulibayev, the only female billionaire from Central Asia), and others. The country is completely dominated by multinational corporations, including the increasing role played by Chinese companies.
The vast social inequality, mass unemployment, injustice and poverty were the main factors in long-term, increasing steadily, and assuming a political character, struggle of the working class, the working people of Kazakhstan for their rights.
After the massacre of oil workers in Western Kazakhstan, the struggle is beginning to move onto revolutionary tracks.
The struggling workers are no longer limiting their demands for the nationalization of enterprises and workers' control. They are already calling for the formation of workers militias to maintain public order, the organization of the working class into a single class trade unions under the auspices of the trade union "Zhanartu", to create a mass political party of working people in order to develop an effective program against the domination of capital, and for socialism.
Such party may be only a party built on a solid foundation of Marxism-Leninism, a revolutionary Leninist-Stalinist Bolshevik party without petty-bourgeois illusions, or the ideological and organizational influence of Trotskyism (Socialist Resistance is a section of Kazakhstan Trotskyist International Committee for Workers’ International), a party most closely associated with the struggle of the working class and all working people against the power of capital, for Soviet power and socialism, and in the vanguard of this struggle.
We grieve together with all working people of Kazakhstan for the victims and we are sure that the sacrifices will not be in vain. We support the demands of the Socialist Movement of Kazakhstan for the release from prison of Natalia Sokolova, an end to torture and mistreatment of detainees, for those responsible for the killings of innocent workers and local residents be held responsible, to reinstate all the dismissed strikers.
We have no doubt that the courageous struggle of Kazakh workers will set an example and give impetus to the struggle of working people in other republics for their liberation from exploitation and oppression.
We wish our Kazakh brothers heroic successes in the fight!
