Editorial: Against capitalism

The recent elections held in the Russian Federation resulted in a 
triumph for Putin and the imperialist system of which he is the 
autocratic guarantor with a hegemony exercised through dictatorship, 
repression and violence against all dissent. A victory which, although 
announced and obtained in derogation of the most elementary principles 
of bourgeois democracy, is still capable of showing off a majority of 
88.48% of the consensus on a turnout of 76.52%: a true and indeed a 
plebiscite, in any case intended to support the war and the war effort 
following the aggression of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which caused 
immense destruction and an incalculable number of military and civilian 
victims.

But the imperialist powers do not only face each other on the 
battlefields of Ukraine, and the genocide that the troops of the state 
of Israel are carrying out in Gaza, Palestine against the civilian 
population, in response to the armed action carried out by Hamas against 
Israel, an armed action that has, simultaneously and indiscriminately, 
massacred defenseless civilians, is the dramatic proof of the crisis of 
the capitalist order and its global structures which see partial and 
area conflicts widening: the main imperialist powers are bloody facing 
each other in Europe , in Asia, in the Middle East and in Africa for the 
control of the world market, envisaging unprecedented scenarios also on 
a military level, which also sees the re-emergence of the indiscriminate 
terrorism of ISIS, such as the massacre tragically committed on 24 March 
at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow proves.

Europe is also rearming itself, fearing Russian aggression: the 
continuous and increasingly frequent calls from the Union and the 
individual states that are part of it to prepare for war, also 
envisaging the clear sending of Union troops to the battlefields of 
'Ukraine; the increasingly frequent proposals for the reintroduction of 
compulsory military service and the arms race; militarist propaganda in 
schools of all levels with the consequent militarization of 
universities; the calls for the creation of an armed force and a 
European nuclear force together with the colossal supply of weapons to 
the Kiev government which amounts to over 50 billion euros, constitute 
only the emerging aspects of an authoritarian drift of bourgeois 
democracy from whose soft underbelly arises the militarization of the 
entire society.

The Russian and Ukrainian, Israeli and Palestinian proletariat and that 
of every other country overwhelmed by war is called to fight to defend 
not their own interests but those of the respective bourgeoisies that 
clash in the global imperialist competition. For this reason: Only the 
union of the international proletariat can stop the war.

Even in Italy, Giorgia Meloni's government and its social bloc of 
reference are launching a very harsh attack on the living conditions of 
our class: repeated cuts to healthcare and education of all levels; the 
increase in exploitation in the workplace with consequent increases in 
working hours and production rates; the continuous erosion of historic 
conquests that allowed male and female wage earners, the women's 
liberation movement and the weakest strata of our class to undertake 
concrete processes of emancipation; the generalized wage emergency; the 
consequent blackmail suffered by workers, especially where trade union 
organization is weak or absent; the derogation and systematic evasion of 
the most elementary regulations relating to safety at work, all this 
creates the conditions for the accumulation of enormous profits for the 
employers to the detriment of the living conditions of the subordinate 
classes, who pay a very high contribution in blood every day which is 
also consumed with the unstoppable chain of fatal accidents during 
production. Added to this is the total disengagement in the defense of 
the environment which is increasingly exposed to capitalist plunder, the 
repression and criminalization of any dissent in schools, in the 
workplace and in the entire society.

In this situation, the calls for institutional anti-fascism are of 
little value if anti-fascism is not combined with the awareness that 
war, environmental devastation, exploitation, oppression, intolerance, 
the national-fascist resurgence, combined with the forms of The 
insurgent racism is nothing other than the inevitable consequences of 
capitalist production relations that favor the creation and accumulation 
of profits to the detriment of humanity and the environment that 
surrounds it.

"The old world is dying. The new one is slow to appear. And in this 
chiaroscuro monsters are born." This ancient but very current phrase by 
Antonio Gramsci must not remain just a prophecy but a stimulus to the 
awareness of the new generations against capitalist barbarity and the 
wars that characterize it, for a renewed militant commitment towards a 
society free from exploitation and oppression .
