Platform of the Anti-imperialist Camp

The so-called globalization (with neo-liberalism as one of its many faces) is

definitely a new stage of the international hegemony of capitalism, even if it

can t be seen as a new historical phase of bourgeois society. Nevertheless it is

untrue that globalization meant a return of capitalism to the times of free

competition and the laws of free markets, to a new phase of historical

development. In the past ten years, opposing tendencies were strengthened: a

strong and unbalanced international concentration of capital in favour of

speculative finance capital and parasitic bond economy; a widening gap between

highly and hardly developed countries, with an intensification of the

neo-colonialist character of the imperialist system; a strengthening of

north-American dominance; growing international militarization. The devastating

collapses of a few capitalist countries (Mexico 1995, Thailand 1997, Russia and

Indonesia 1999, Argentina 2001) demonstrate, that capitalism des!

pite all efforts remains and antagonist and unstable regime that doesn t allow

the majority of the peoples to overcome their chronic under-development.

Capitalism is resistant to any policy of strategic programmes, it naturally

refuses the subordination of the economy to social aims. On an international

political level this corresponds to an intensification of contradictions and

conflicts. The answer of the west is an intensification of its commanding rule

and the application of force as a permanent factor, with the strategy of low

intensity warfare in the devastated periphery, with preventive attacks against

any country that is viewed as an enemy and finally with the authoritarian

degeneration of the opulent democracies , with the goal to prevent an internal

antagonistic movement. National states will encounter an asymmetric fate in this

contradictory process: Those states whose capitalist system is weak and

dependent, will be further weakened and destabilized, the imper!

ialist ones (as the USA), will be strengthened. The European Union (if the

process of unification is not interrupted) expresses the crisis of the old

bourgeois national states, but not in the direction of an unclear and non-state

reality, but in the best case in the direction of an imperialist meta-state

subordinate to the USA.

Down with the inquisition tribunal in The Hague!

Defend Slobodan Milosevic!

Resolution approved at the Anti-imperialist Camp Assisi 2003

For more than ten years Yugoslavia resisted against the US-led world order.

While the secessionist movements and newly founded republics embraced

imperialism, Yugoslavia tried to preserve at least some of the social gains

achieved by the popular masses and refused to obey to the neo-liberal dictates

of the IMF. The main reason for the ferocious imperialist aggression was the

emblematic political value of the resistance of the Serb people to preserve

their national independence against the entire imperialist world order. While

the Western civil society under the guise of humanitarianism sided with

imperialism, Yugoslavia s resistance had to be crushed as it could have

encouraged other oppressed people to revolt.

Only after having bombed Yugoslavia for more than two months NATO eventually

could achieve its goal to topple the government of Slobodan Milosevic by a coup

d Иtat. The Western corporate media called it a democratic revolution as ten

years earlier in Eastern Europe and Russia. But extraditing President Milosevic

to The Hague the new pro-imperialist rulers violated the constitution and

overruled the entire Yugoslav juridical system proving that they had created a

Banana republic on the Balkans depending completely on Western grace and

arbitrariness.

Down with the pro-Western dictatorship in Serbia!

Free Slobodan Milosevic and abolish the political tribunal in The Hague!

NATO out of the Balkans!

Different Names, Same Enemy

Speech of Jehad Hussein at the Anti-imperialist Camp, Assisi 2003

For the first time, the Arabs, or the new generation of Arabs, got to know what

direct colonialism means, apart from the historic struggle against the Zionist

entity, which has become more of an everyday event for the people and activists

alike. They also got to know for the first time what it means to have the US as

a direct invader, and not just as a supporter of the Zionist entity.

Therefore, many of my generation felt an urge to confront and resist the US

imperialist aggression on Iraq. Arriving from many backgrounds, Islamist,

nationalist, leftist or even plain patriotism, the Arab fida'in were unified in

their goal of confronting the US project.

The Arab fida'in came from many countries to defend the Arab land, symbolized by

Iraq. They came from Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Yemen, Libya,

Tunisia, Morocco and Palestine. They were received the al-Sudair hotel. They

would stay there usually for one night, and were then distributed among the

fighting camps all around Baghdad and Iraq.

As students in different levels and branches in Iraqi universities, I and ten of

my friends stayed in the al-Qadisiyya neighbourhood, which is where we were

already living.

Support the Iraqi resistance against the US occupation!

Resolution of the Anti-imperialist Camp Assisi 2003

 

Support the Iraqi resistance against the US occupation!

After more than one decade of genocide against the Iraqi people imposed by the

United Nations, the Anglo-American warmongers invaded Iraq violating not only

the elementary democratic right of national self-determination but also

international law. Against the will of the vast majority of the world

population, its nations and even the historic US allies they unleashed their

criminal aggression.

Everybody knew that their justifications were built on scarcely veiled

fabrications. While the US and Israel dispose of vast arsenals of weapons of

mass destruction and also proved to be ready to use them like in Hiroshima and

Nagasaki , Iraq was nearly disarmed.

Actually the US did not bother to cover up their real intention the

construction of the Imperium Americanum. On the contrary by displaying to the

world, including their allies, their overwhelming military power Washington

wanted to back its claim for exclusive world leadership.

The US proclaimed to liberate Iraq from a cruel dictator and they really

thought to be welcomed as liberators by the Iraqi population. But as a matter of

fact they erected their colonial military dictatorship while precipitating the

Iraqi people into abject misery even worse than that under the conditions of the

worst embargo ever suffered by a nation: no water, no electricity, no schools,

no work, no public order. This is US-style democracy.

On May 1, 2003, the imperator George W Bush announced the end of the war. But

the real war had just begun, namely the popular resistance against the

occupants, the strive for the liberation of Iraq. From the first day of the

occupation the Iraqi people have been taking to the streets to protest US rule

and the guerrilla movement has steadily been gaining momentum, killing already

more US mercenaries than had died during the invasion.

The Iraqi resistance movement has not only declared the US military machine as a

legitimate target but also its collaborators. Any attempt to stabilize the

Governing Council as the embryo of an evolving US puppet regime must be fought

by all means.

The UN resolutions 1483 and 1500 have justified the US occupation and

stipulating the right of the occupants to construct a subservient regime over

Iraq. This does not only prove the end of the European diplomatic opposition to

the US strive to erect an American empire but the European collaboration how

reluctant it ever might be. The Iraqi resistance is the only force able to foil

those plans and therefore got the full right to attack the UN as a tool of the

Anglo-American occupants.

The resistance enjoys the full support of the vast majority of the Iraqi people

regardless of their different religious allegiances. This is displayed not only

by the fact that nobody in Iraq not even those subservient parties who

accepted to participate in the US colonial council dares to openly back the

occupation. Also the guerrilla is growing and moves within the popular masses

like the fish in the water . Meanwhile the resistance movement which is composed

of all the different religious and cultural currents within Iraq is striving to

build a broad National Resistance and Liberation Front opposed to the US

Governing Council .

It is the task of the international democratic and anti-imperialist movement to

give full support for the Iraqi resistance. Today the Iraqi liberation struggle

is not only concerning the entire Arab nation and the Middle East but all

forces, peoples and nations fighting the US world order. In fact the Iraqi

battle is a battle against the incipient American Empire.

At the same time the attack on and the occupation of Iraq is also directed

against the Palestinian people. It is not by accident that the so-called US

roadmap providing for some Palestinian Bantustans under Zionist sovereignty and

the annihilation of the Palestinians as a nation was dictated while the

Anglo-American aggression was in full swing. Therefore the struggle against the

US occupation of Iraq and the Zionist occupation of Palestine are inextricably

linked.

The anti-imperialist forces from throughout the world gathering here in Assisi s

Anti-imperialist Camp announce a campaign in support of the Iraqi resistance

starting in Europe with the collection of 10 Euro per head for the use of the

emerging Iraqi resistance front. At the same time we prepare an international

solidarity delegation to convey the support of the democratic and

anti-imperialist forces to the Iraqi resistance. The Camp calls to support the

demonstration Support the Iraqi people who resists scheduled for December 6 in

Rome.

For the right of self-determination and resistance against imperialism!

Support the resistance against occupation of Iraq and Palestine!

Down with the US world order and its pre-emptive war!
