The Independent Workers Party (POI) condemns in the strongest terms the horrible carnage in Paris on November 13.
Again, innocent and civilian victims are the ones bearing the brunt of the attacks; they are the victims of this barbarism.
The Independent Workers Party reiterates what it had stated in the aftermath of the attacks in Paris at the beginning of 2015: The struggle to ensure that these appalling acts do not recur requires the fight against war, of which this barbarism, now being extended to the entire world, is the natural child.
The Independent Workers Party reiterates its commitment to the fight against war, against all military interventions perpetrated in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Central Africa by the governments of the major powers in the service of the multinational corporations and the capitalist class.
It’s these war policies that tear nations apart and spread barbarism around the world.
For the Independent Workers Party, the struggle for peace, against barbarism, and for democracy is inseparable from the struggle of the workers, united with their organizations, against the policies of misery that are foisted upon them.
It is the same struggle for the defense of workers’ rights, for democracy, for peace, for sovereignty, and human civilization against barbarism. This fight requires — more than ever in the dramatic situation that we are now facing – that the organizations that speak in the name of the working class do not yield to the invitation that will be made to them to join the “holy union” with the government and the bosses.
