Communist fight is freely English translation of “Lotta Comunista”, the organization name of an Italian leftist political party movement. - English translation from the Italian text Lotta comunista o rotta sionista?
A group of Lotta comunista militants attacked pro-Palestine students who are occupying with tents the Milan’s Statale University past Tuesday (May 21th). Today (May 24th) the same squad-like aggression has been repeated at la Sapienza University in Rome.
We are not surprised by these episodes.
Israel and Western imperialist governments are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The October 7th event touched the nerve of the West that was already in crisis to dominate the world and it opened a challenge to what colonialism has sedimented by rewarding it over 500 years of plundering. In a historical time, the present one, which sees the chaotic unfolding of the systemic crisis of a unitary mode of production, Palestine is becoming a magnet against that same movement of the relationship between men and the means of production, whose impersonal laws have determined in its historical turn the colonialism, the slavery and the racism to the detriment of oppressed peoples. A general and unprecedented magnet resounded on October 7th capable of penetrating even among the new generations of decaying Western societies like vital water.
Those impersonal laws have determined in its historical course a relationship whereby salary cannot disregard the production of value even if it is a conflictual exchange between salary and capital, where the real possibilities for the development of the salary social forces and the social conflict have followed that of the development of the valorization of capital, which by accumulating and concentrating through colonial robbery has allowed the West to grant that privilege and the proper social racist advantage given by the white supremacy.
In this traced groove, a whole series of “left” and “far left” political expressions have been unable to do anything but just interpret the defense of the salary within that relationship and in deference to the unequal exchange with the exploited peoples by the racial capitalism, therefore silencing or condemning the historical struggle of peoples of color, hiding it all through an indifferentism or Eurocentric leftist ideology in which oppressed peoples should in any case defend Western democracies. The finite time and the general crisis of a mode of production unable to develop beyond, it bites today the nerve and it inexorably begins to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Organizations and political expressions sedimented in the past are dragged into the same crisis of nerves as Israel and co. and to openly they play the role no longer merely indifferentist or Eurocentric, but directly chauvinist and in open anachronistic defense of the sociale wage of the racist advantage on the skin of Palestinians which are resisting to the genocide.
According to Lotta Comunista, the Palestinian working masses should not fight against the apartheid system of Israel’s colonialism, but they shall be compliant with the immediate interests of Israeli workers who enjoy their privileges from that same apartheid. Consequently, this scrap of garbage (called upon to confront the bill of history) believes that one should not mobilize here against Israel and the Western governments, precisely so as not to jeopardize the privilege of being born and pastured in a racist and colonialist society that also allows certain human characters to continue to suckle from the colonial udder.
To Lotta comunista, which cannot but be more and more openly racist, chauvinist and “more realistic than the king” and than the CGIL itself, we say to you: you stand, willingly or unwillingly, on the Zionism trail, which means that you defend the genocide that the State of Israel is committing. In this way you are not only standing together with the worst Western right-wing but also linking your historical fate to that of Israel. Good luck!
