We publish the unofficial translation of an important editorial of the A Nova Democracia newspaper, issue 210, on the important struggle of the workers and revolutionaries in the country and the imminent military intervention in the State management.
The stoppage of the truckers clearly showed the deepness of the general crisis of the country in all meanings. Apart from displaying the fragility of the road transportation modal (which is a result of a bureaucratic capitalism based on the semi-feudal backwardness wrapped up with modernity and submitted to the semi-colonial imperialist domination) it also reveals the general situation of the country in an inclined plan. An inclined plan that no facade solution or supposed “management efficiency” (like the electioneering political parties and the media monopoly cackles) could invert. Not even the moralist and redeemer rant of the scammer military “boot-lickers”1 of the USA could do it. Brazil is shaken and its true sane forces started to stir it up. Starting from this, nothing will be where it was until now.

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.

The former President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, is on trial again. He is known for his many crimes and the genocide against the Peruvian people during his presidency from 1990 to 2000. Even the old, Peruvian state found him guilty of the massacres carried out by his death squads and his paramilitary groups. In 2009 he was imprisoned and sentenced to 25 years in jail. Furthermore, he was corrupt and embezzled millions of dollars. When he was officially charged with that, he flew to Japan where he stayed for five years. He is responsible for thousands of peasants, workers and revolutionaries who were tortured, raped and killed. They paid the highest price fighting for the end of the sellout of their country to the imperialists, fighting for the end of semi-feudalism, semi-colonialism and bureaucratic capitalism. Fujimori sold out his country, did everything the Yankees told him to do and they gave him one job, to crush the People’s War led by the Communist Party of Peru. And he used every barbarous method he could think of trying to fulfill it.
But after only few years in prison Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, then still president of Peru and a lackey of Yankee-imperialism – pardoned and released him in December 2017. This was followed by protests and demonstrations in several countries. In his current trial Fujimori is accused of giving the order to the murder of six peasants in the district of Barranca, north of Lima, carried out by the Colina paramilitary group in January 1992.
