Luca Rodilosso | Italian Communist Party

Dear comrades,

On behalf of the Italian Communist Party we send a fraternal communist greeting and our support and our internationalist solidarity to the political forces that organized the conference and to those who participate and who will participate in the demonstration at the end of the political meetings.

The wars and macro-regional tensions, and the world war in pieces unfortunately increasingly present in our lives, in our economies, in our minds, and in the daily life of all citizens of every State, does not seem to be diminishing but rather increasing in intensity, with the genocide of the Palestinians underway in Gaza for almost two years and a State, like that of Israel, that no longer hides its neocolonial, imperialist, bloodthirsty and racist project.

The West, in order not to lose face with its double standards and double morals, after more than 50,000 deaths finally realizes that something is not working in Israel, but it does so only and exclusively in the interest of preserving the colonization, while with regard to the war in Ukraine it has used and uses all legal as well as military tools to fight Russia―knowing full well that story of tension between Russia and Ukraine was born from the coup in Ukraine of Euromaidan in 2014―with regard to Israel it does absolutely nothing except mild condemnations (in any case a step forward compared to the recommendations of the previous months).

On the one hand, economic sanctions, senseless exclusions from sports, singing and Olympic competitions. On the other, precisely, nothing.

This is the response of imperialism to the emergence of a new multipolar world order, an order that we Italian communists firmly support and hope for, if necessary to strengthen that unity of the forces of progress and anti-imperialist forces that must face this wave of massacres and wars.

The conflicts underway in Gaza and Ukraine are fundamental pieces of a single world conflict that has as its stake the perpetuation of a unipolar world led by the US or the construction of a multipolar one that is a prelude to democratic and mutually beneficial international relations.

People suffer and struggle in every part of the world, divided in a strategy of continuous tension, which after the election of Trump, I understand has moved its epicenter today right in Europe, the Europe that has sacrificed the well-being of its populations and its states in the name of market rules without any connection to investments in the real economy and has become the direction of the deep state of NATO and of various financial entities that act and put pressure on the member countries.

The Netherlands is also a country that applies a very low tax policy and this is no coincidence that it is one of the “Trojan horse” countries, through the induced attraction of internal and foreign investments to Europe, to better dominate and control the policies of European governments, in particular those of large countries such as France, Germany and Italy.

Bourgeois cosmopolitanism continues in its work of fake global democratization, shifting the attention of public opinion to superstructural issues rather than to class conflict and Western imperialism, a cosmopolitanism that has given the illusion of a globalization of rights without considering the intrinsic voracity of capital.

But at the moment we are living in Europe sees the hegemony of various nationalisms and bourgeois sovereignisms that superficially criticize globalism, but in fact feed on the same dynamics of capitalist exploitation that also affect public health.

Fratelli d’Italia, a post-fascist party, sovereignist only with the weak but certainly not with the Americans, continues to present us with an unprecedented picture of the constitutional democracy of our country. The Republican Constitution born from the anti-fascist Resistance during the Second World War, debased from within by the majority of those social forces that gave it life, struggles to exercise its role in the present time, characterized by the economy that dominates politics: a situation plastically represented in our recent past by the succession of technical governments and real political heaps, which have finally created the conditions for the advance of the right in the country.

We are seriously rebuilding from scratch the concept of making a party, respect for the governing bodies and at the same time the right flexibility and reasonableness in dealing with society and its varied expressions. We avoid leadership shortcuts made of intransigent proclamations or, on the contrary, movement-based concessions, because they will not lead to any type of development, neither of a united, strong and popular communist party, nor of any type of common front with other democratic and social forces.

Only by completing a process of this kind will we have the right dignity to continue to honor our membership in the various international meetings and tables that will have to face, also harmonizing with each other in order to make a common front, enormous challenges in a more dangerous time than ever such as today, pursuing the ambitious goal of making a just peace prevail that respects the self-determination of peoples, as taught by the recent events of the oppression of the Ukrainian Nazis in Donbass, of the war that NATO has unfortunately brought to the borders and inside Russia, of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank who are fighting for their self-determination, and of all the oppressed peoples who find themselves in similar conditions.

We sincerely thank all the political forces that have intervened and will intervene and the organizers of the meeting in the Hague of the World Anti-imperialist Platform. 

Only united and cohesive will we win.

To work and to the struggle comrades.
