Solidarity from the Socialist Front of Puerto Rico
TO WWP:
On behalf of the working class of Puerto Rico and its
vanguard organizations, the Socialist Front extends its
fraternal and revolutionary greetings to the Workers World
Party's Conference held in New York Nov. 6.
The struggle of the working class and of the oppressed
nationalities in the United States is of major importance, not
only to the people of your country but to the proletariat of
the entire world.
The United States is the key dominant economic and political
power in the world. It is the headquarters of world imperialism
and reaction, and the main obstacle in the world in the
struggle for socialism.
From this world perspective, the success of the struggle of
the working people of the United States--for economic and
social justice, for equality and against racism, bigotry and
national oppression, for the equality of women and gay people,
against the marginalization of foreign-born workers, against
police brutality directed at young people, for the rights of
children to a decent public education, in defense of tenants
against greedy landlords, for the freedom of political
prisoners, for the self determination of oppressed people
everywhere, and against imperialist war and intervention, in
one phrase, "the struggle of labor to overthrow capital"--is
not only of significance to the people of the U.S. but is of
paramount importance to the world proletariat, in its struggle
for world socialism.
We in the Socialist Front are aware of the many
contributions made by the Workers World Party over its 40 years
of unrelenting struggle on behalf of working and oppressed
people, and wholeheartedly wish the Workers World Party
complete success in its endeavors on behalf of the working
class and for socialism.
Currently, the main struggle in our country is to get the
United States Navy out of the island of Vieques and against
U.S. militarization. As all of you know, Puerto Rico has been a
U.S. colony for 100 years. Thirteen percent of our island
nation is occupied by U.S. military bases. At the moment, all
of our energies are currently concentrated in these efforts: to
get the U.S. out of Puerto Rico, and we are aware of the
assistance that the Workers World Party and other progressive
forces within the United States are making on our behalf.
Long live the solidarity between all working and oppressed
people! Success in the struggle for socialism!
Jorge Farinacci, spokesperson for the Socialist Front
