We forward the statement made by the webpage Punalippu as part of the campaign of support to the political prisoners and the 23 in Brazil and condemning the action of the Brazilian state.
Freedom to Igor Mendes and all comrades condemned by the old state of Brazil!
We direct the following words to our comrades in Brazil, to the international communist movement, and to our friends in Finland. In July the old state of Brazil captured 23 comrades for the protests and resistance organized prior to and during FIFA 2014 against the anti-people misspending and evictions. They are threatened with several years long, even 13 years prison sentences. Among them is also the leader of the revolutionary youth of Brazil, Igor Mendes, the likes of who must be raised in all countries from the righteous rebellion to overthrow all reactionaries.
The Brazilian reaction which is sinking into an ever deepening crisis, is waging a doomed struggle to stretch its life expectancy. The agrarian revolutionary movement relying on poor peasantry, with the League of Poor Peasants as its brightest expression, is developing as an unstoppable component of the new democratic revolution with martyrs accumulating ever so often. Thus the days of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie and landowners are dwindling, because as in the countryside, also in the cities a magnificent revolutionary movement is being constructed with communist leadership. With growing consciousness of that we express solidarity to the 23 comrades hardened by class struggle, being certain that the white terror resorting to ever more cowardly measures can not prevent the sun of new democracy rising and shining through prison walls.
Igor Mendes, son of the Brazilian people, fighter of the international proletariat, is not alone! His generation will see the Brazil of new democracy, as well as the destruction of imperialism with people’s war. We praise the unyielding struggle of the revolutionaries of Brazil as an inspiring example to the proletariat also in Finland. Our material force here is still a future perspective, but our work illuminated by our internationally shared only correct ideology, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, shall fulfill the promise that already before the dawn of the revolution’s victory in oppressed countries, also the communists in Finland will serve the world proletarian revolution with the perseverance and self-sacrifice of our best Brazilian comrades.

Hundreds of people have marched on the streets of Rio de Janeiro city center last August 14, for supporting the 23 activists who were recently sentenced to up to 13 years of prison, for the right of demonstration, against the military intervention, against the genocide of the poor and black people on the favelas and repudiating the political murder of Marielle Franco.
The demonstration was called by the “Não é só pelos 23, é por todas e todos que lutam!” (It is not only for the 23, is for everyone who struggle!) Campaign.
March on the streets of Rio de Janeiro
The demonstration was marked by the massive presence of mothers and family of the victims who were murdered by the old state´s repressive apparatus and also had the participation of progressive activists, members of revolutionary, popular, student and democratic movements.

In the following we like to document a video interview with Professor Tsien about how the Great Proletarian Culture Revolution impacted the universities and himself personally. Prior to it, he nursed thoughts of imitating the model of the Yankees and Social-imperialist Russia as he considered them superior to Chinas universities. He was selfish and through out 20 years of his university career and only had his own ego in mind. He despised his son for choosing a workers path.

We publish an inofficial translation of a declaration of french comrades:
Before the football world cup was held in Brazil in 2014, major mass demonstrations, particularly involving the popular youth, took place to protest against holding of such a miserable cover for the propaganda of the comprador regime, against the immense waste of resources, against the bloody anti-people's attacks of "cleansing" and against the destruction of several hundred dwellings which was required for it to take place.

Freedom for the 23 Brazilian activists – Freedom for Igor Mendes
The Brazilian people are fighting – and the revolutionary activists stand in the midst of the struggle. Tjen Folket Media [Serve the People Media] greets the 23, who recently got sentenced to long-term imprisonment, for the struggle against the football circus four years ago. We condemn the Brazilian state and its fascist oppression against the masses. We want to contribute to revealing the myth about "development" in Brazil and other oppressed countries. We want to bring forth the revolutionary activists and especially the activist Igor Mendes.

We share this call to boycott the Quebec elections:
Boycott the Bourgeois Elections! Fight For Workers’ Power!
For the vast majority of the population, voting is useless. From one election to the next, the wealth gap continues to widen, attacks on workers are multiplying, the military budget increases, wars against the peoples of exploited countries carries on, indigenous peoples’ extreme poverty persists, and that, no matter the ruling party, whether right or “left”. The reason for this is very simple: under capitalism, despite universal suffrage, it is those who hold Capital—banks, industry, natural resources, trade, media, etc.—who decide. State and parliament, despite their democratic varnish, are in reality nothing but the apparatuses used by the bourgeoisie—the social class who owns the means of production—to maintain its domination on society. In Canada, this domination currently takes on the form of bourgeois democracy.

We publish this joint declaration of the Red Guards Collectives from the USA, which was sent to us:
Regarding the class combat of left and right lines in Germany and the incidents following May 1, 2018
It is the responsibility of revolutionaries all over the world to analyze contending ideological lines as internationalists, and we must take the position of combating centrism and rightism. In regard to the events that transpired on May 1, 2018, and the subsequent numerous statements, we have remained silent for too long. For this we are self-critical and seek to rectify this matter by staying abreast of the important struggles going on in the International Communist Movement and making our support clear and timely. In short we must learn to separate the revolutionaries from the revisionists and firmly support the revolutionaries. Both sides have made their documents available online for months, and it is through the careful study of these documents that we come to the following positions:

We publish this communique of the Red Flag Collective of Finland:
To our friends in Finland and in the international communist movement
The Red Flag Collective has held a successful reorganizing meeting, through which our organization has been cast anew. The meeting was held because the one and half year since the initiation of our activities has demonstrated the need to renew our organization as well as to sharpen our line and present it unified.
The meeting adopted a temporary program which for the first time uniformly defines our ideological basis, which is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and defines the situation and tasks internationally and in Finland. Our organization upholds this program as a most valuable guide for Finnish communists, and it orients our work as a whole, the work in which the gained development creates preconditions to uplift the program to an even higher level.
