In Oaxaca, the Democratic Movement of the Workers of Education of Oaxaca (MDTEO) went into strike for indetermined period of time, as part for the construction of the national strike which is going to start on June 4. The national movement of workers of education aims against the counter-reforms on education. They make a firm stand against the opportunists who criticize the attitude of the workers of Oaxaca, these opportunists want to avoind conflict with the local bourgeoisie and sides with imperialism who are behind such „structure reforms“ and the servant bureaucratic capitalism and landlords who handles the old state and implement the imperialist policies.
Such reforms show the crisis of the boureacratic capitalism, as part of the general crisis of imperialism. The opportunists aims toward the corporative demands of the workers and refuse to see the struggle as part of the struggle for the demands of the people, they advocate to make deals in the electioneering scenerio, to collaborate and concilliate for a plate of peas. And MDEO makes firm stand for the people, they say the contend for managing the old state is among the fractions of the ruling classes, not the people. At the same time the increasing "fascistization" of the regime advances against the people in struggle with arbitrary detentions, political arrests, torture, enforced abductions of activists, etc.
MDEO makes a stand that their struggle towards the national strike aims to mobilize the broad masses, in state and national levels. They say the true victories of the strike can only be acheived in the streets, not in the parliament or any candidate. To do so, the workers need to improve their organization level be it official or unofficial, legal or ilegal means, according to the historical experience of the popular movement.
They make a call for unity, not for negotiating, but unity by deeds, by actions on the streets.
