Nazisti protetti dalla polizia del fascio-imperialista Trump
On August 12, 2017, a fascist pig rammed his car into a group of
antifascists who were taking the streets. Reports are that 19 people
have been injured and one person has been confirmed dead. “Though death befalls all [people] alike, it may be weightier
than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.” To die for the people is
weightier than Mount Tai, but to work for the fascists and die for the
exploiters and oppressors is lighter than a feather.”
-Mao Tse-tung, 1944
We do not yet know who died in the attack. But based on the fact that
they were protesting fascists, one thing is clear: that person died a
hero. From Charlotte, we salute their memory and their service to the
people.
Today’s ‘unite the right’ rally marks the third fascist gathering in
Charlottesville, VA in a matter of months. Where fascists are safe, they
will escalate. Their presence alone is an escalation against the
masses, especially Black and Brown people.
When fascist attacks are carried out, it can intimidate less active
people away from protesting fascists. In fact, they want it to do that.
These attacks act as a means of social control, because fascists want
their power to grow. We must cast away illusions that today’s incident
is an outlier and build sustainable power against fascists. We must also
cast away any illusions that the police will ever protect the people
from their fascist brothers. The capitalist state has materially
encouraged fascist presence time after time not only in Charlottesville,
VA but all over the US. The police stand with the fascists at their
rallies. Their interests are similarly aligned.
This is not the first time a comrade has been murdered protesting
white supremacy in the last year. In Charlotte there was another martyr
who died serving the people, Justin Carr. He was murdered by the pigs
while protesting the police execution of Keith Lamont Scott in September
2016. CMPD has framed another protestor for his murder. We must honor
the life of the fallen comrade in Charlottesville and Justin Carr by
fighting like hell to destroy the system that enables fascism to live.
The system is capitalism-imperialism. Both the police in Charlotte and
the fascists in Charlottesville murdered someone to try to send a
message to the masses and consolidate their own power.
The cohesive strategy to fight fascism is threefold:
1.) Create a preventative force that can effectively get the prime
recruiting ground of fascists to turn their backs on all fascists. This
includes the white working class, petit-bourgeois white amerikans, and
anyone that can be recruited by fascists in the US.
2.) Become militarized to combat their violence and protect our class.
3.) Build a strong revolutionary mass movement, led by an MLM party
with proletarian politics in command. Fight for socialist revolution,
and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat to deprive all power
from these pigs.
These moments cannot become common. Our job is to protect and defend
the masses while laying the ground for a revolutionary people to rise up
and make history. We must draw the line in the sand. What happened
today shows us that fascists will not stop, and neither can we. SALUTE TO THE COMRADE WHO FELL IN CHARLOTTESVILLE! LONG LIVE JUSTIN CARR! FIGHT FASCISM WITH COMMUNISM!
The fascist’s cowardly terrorist attack in Charlottesville has
not and will not go unanswered. Our antifascist martyr – Heather Heyer –
is immortal! She lives on in the battle against fascism, a battle we
will wage to its end. This city will be made a tomb for fascism.
As soon as the news of the attack reached us from one of our comrades
on the ground in Cville, the people hit the streets. Overnight anti
fascist messages rose all over the city. One such antifa target was the
infamous confederate monument that holds the worlds largest confederate
flag as it flies over our highways. Revolutionaries defaced the monument
with hammers & sickles, antifascist slogans, and red paint. Other
neighborhoods were marked as antifa territory, warning fascists to get
the fuck out of our city.
The next day – TMC, the mass organization Suncoast Antifa, and other
revolutionaries in our united front made rapid plans to take over the
streets. A liberal vigil event had been planned downtown, lacking any
focus on our martyr or the political content of her death. Breaking up
into cells, we assumed leadership of the event, gave speeches, and shut
the streets down as we led hundreds of people on a march across the city
to another confederate monument located at the old courthouse.
Fascists, including members of American Vanguard (the group responsible
for the terror attack in Cville), attempted to follow our march and film
some of our comrades. If not for the presence of pigs, this group of
cowards would have been ripped apart by the people. Even with their
protection present and surrounding our forces on all sides, comrades
managed to beat several of the fascist’s phones out of their hands and
break them to stop their filming. Chants of “Cops and Klan go hand in
hand,” and “1-2-3-4 this is fucking class war, 5-6-7-8 organize and
smash the state” filled downtown Tampa. A candle holding event had been
turned into an antifascist march.
At various points the bloc outmaneuvered the pigs, forming into
wedges to break attempted encirclement, and laying themselves in front
of pig cars to stop them from entering our route. Street occupations
where the bloc stopped to hold key roads occurred throughout the march,
allowing everyone involved to keep pace with the march as water was
passed out, and speeches were given on the occupied intersections. As
the bloc came within sight of the confederate monument, we ran ahead of
the pigs to occupy the territory and cover the monument in our flags and
posters. At the occupation the people voiced their outrage at fascist
terror and white supremacy. Backwards ideas were struggled against,
those carrying american flags and decrying our calls of “fuck the
police” were greeted with the anger of our nonwhite comrades as they
explained the need for revolution. Speakers explained to the crowd that
this is only the beginning, our struggle against fascism will continue
to grow so long as the people support us. We consider this action a
small victory and an important step forward.
With our victory, fascist trolls have taken notice of our actions and
have launched a pathetic intimidation campaign against us. A swastika
has been drawn outside the house of one of our supporters, other
supporters have received phone calls describing acts of fascist violence
– including glorifying the death of Heather Heyer. Pigs and private
security have stationed 24/7 guards on the monument, trying to stop any
further action by us. Liberals have also raised 140k for the statue to
be respectably and peacefully removed to private property. The
neighboring city of St. Pete has preemptively removed its own
confederate monument, attempting to avoid a similar incident in its
streets. These actions will not be enough to stop the people of Tampa.
The struggle will carry on and intensify, fascists and anti-fascists are
mutually exclusive opposites and cannot coexist peacefully in this
city.
Antifascists in Tampa first announced themselves during pride month,
leading an insurgent anti-capitalist bloc through the pride march to the
cheers of working class queers in the crowd. Since then we have grown
quickly in strength and unity, taking various smaller actions. Before
the arrival of TMC and Suncoast Antifa, such actions were completely
unthinkable in this area. We are progressing, but much work remains to
be done. Our collective is working diligently towards concentric
construction – building the basic forms of the party, army, and united
front in our work. We have created rules of fitness, diet, and weapons
training for all members of our collective. We will become a combat
organization of the working class, we firmly reject the revisionist
model of “book club communism.” We reject the revisionist denial of the
necessity of anti-fascist work. We reject the revisionist model of an
“activist” organization. Maoist organizations are partisan war machines
created for the destruction of the state and creation of red power. We
uphold that the mass line can be applied in anti-fascist work, and we
are proving this in practice. Fake communists refuse antifa work, they
rub their noses at the people’s struggles and speak of the “mass line”
and the “workers” (what they really mean is an idealized version of the
old white working class). They see “ultra-leftism” in every militant
action. These people are nothing but academics with an activist hobby,
they are not communists.
The fascists exposed themselves at Charlottsville, they can no longer
hide in the shadows or play innocent as the ‘alt-right.’ We are now in a
post Charlottsville period, and it demands of us all uncompromising
struggle against fascism. We believe our rapid response to Cville is an
appropriate model to build off for the future, and through its summation
we are better prepared for street demonstrations and other clandestine
work. Maoism in the US must define itself now, at this historical
period, birthed in the struggle against fascism. This is a struggle in
our streets, in our workplaces, in our neighborhoods. We understand that
to combat fascism in all its forms we must establish Serve the People
Programs, anti-gentrification programs, and armed paritsan units
distinct from our collectives. We are the initiators, and these are the
first steps.
We extend our revolutionary greetings to all anti-fascist fighters
across the world fighting against a renewed global fascist offensive,
especially those in India, Turkey, the Philippines, and Kurdistan. We
salute our comrades within the United States: Red Guards Austin, Red
Guards Los Angeles, Kansas City Revolutionary Collective, Revolutionary
Association of Houston, Three River Reds, and Queen City Maoist
Collective. Our solidarity is powerful. The people in the occupied US
have risen up in outrage against fascism, it is our duty to fight and
win with them. We urge all Maoists to become active anti-fascists and
build Maoist guided antifa mass organizations – this is an absolute
necessity at this stage of struggle. We will turn the
At some point in your life, someone had to explain to you what a
Nazi was. Many of us have seen movies and shows depicting a small
sliver of what occurred in Nazi Germany. It became a theme to compare
everything evil to Hitler. Who hasn’t thought about what they would have
done if only they’d been there? The question isn’t hard. When you’ve
heard about Nazis and what they did, you know the right course of
action. You just never thought, in your whole life, you might be asked
to do it. It’s hard to think anyone would ever want to see a country
where that might have to be answered. There’s no secret about it at this
point, the Nazis are here.
Heather Hayer a martyr for the Anti-Fascist Movement
Last week, in Charlottesville, Virginia, Heather Hayer, a participant
in an Anti-Fascist rally in response to “Unite the Right”, was run over
and slain by a Nazi, who also managed to injure 19 others. Deandre
Harris, a Black man, was savagely beaten by nearly a dozen fascists in a
parking garage that was all caught on video. These people wear no
masks, because they have sympathizers in cars, running into crowds. They
have no fears of expressing their far right views because these views
are normalized and ingrained in the history of the United States. We are
generations of people who have thought about how we would stand up to
these monsters if we ever got a chance and here they are. We have more
unity in us than they could even imagine but we need more, we need to
organize more people. Deandre Harris was savagely beaten by white supremacists emboldened by the withdrawal of police.
An entire week of Nazis rallying went unchecked by the police, until
antifa got involved. In fact the police had pulled back their forces,
allowing the fascists full license to commit violence against a crowd
that included the elderly and clergy. Many of those there remarked that
the anti-fascists who were there to meet the white supremacists with
blows for blows had actually “saved their lives”. While we usually think
we can do nothing the truth is we have the power to change this, and we
have to use it, because nobody else is going to. This isn’t one City or
one stand-alone incident. Time and time again we have proven that when
the masses of people unite together they can accomplish anything. They
can make the impossible possible!
Not long ago, this June, many of the same group of people that were in
Charlottesville, Virginia, were in Kansas City, Missouri. We in Serve
the People, witnessed people affiliated with fascist organizations such
as the Proud Boys, an organization that was present in Charlottesville,
and an organization whose sole purpose is to incite violence and fight
leftists. We also saw them come out with militia groups from all across
the state, a degenerate movement that also was represented in
Charlottesville from III%ers to Oathkeepers. But this sort of mess is
not solely limited to just Virginia or Missouri. This is happening all
over the country. Fascists and Nazis are gaining audacity and they’re
flaunting the license they’ve been given . They have taken the next bold
step in a “Unite the Right” rally and are mobilizing in many more
cities.
As an organization that is looking to take up struggles of The People
we cannot operate under such an existential threat. We also realize we
cannot advance current victories that have been achieved under
conditions where a right wing backlash is gaining ground in the country
and will not stand by while it seeks to make a basehead in Kansas City.
This is why we are mobilizing our organization to gather on September
9th at Washington Square Park where they are seeking to use the events
that happened on 9/11/2001 to gain a platform for their anti-immigrant,
anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Queer and anti-People views. We call on
all progressive people to come out with us on this day and shut these
reactionaries down. FIGHT BACK FOR CHARLOTTESVILLE! NO PASARAN! THEY WILL NOT PASS!
