Workers of education strike in Mexico
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.

Comrades,

Explicitly, and from the button of our heards, we salute the masses, militants and leaders of the TKP/ML as well as those who struggle armed against imperialism under the leadership of its Central Committee. For us communist in formation, be it in the FRG or elsewhere, they are a bonfire and a source of inspiration.
Founded by Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, the TKP/ML struggles for more then 46 years now, on the foundation laid by him, against the exploitation and oppression forced on the peoples of Turkey and the world by imperialism. Through his struggle and his sacrifice Comrade Kaypakkaya is for eternity rooted in the consciousnesses of the international proletariat. His insistence do develop People’s War in every circumstances; his insistence, to apply the teaching of Chairman Mao and especially his insistence in relentlessly struggling against revisionism are a shining example for us.

In the occasion of the 45 anniversary of the murder of comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya
Dear Comrades
Receive our communist greetings to the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist and its Central Committee, we greet also the cadres and militants of the Party, the masses and guerrilla combatants, who under your leadership, struggle tirelessly to achieve the victory of the revolution.
This May 26 is a very significant date for the communists in the whole globe. Another year of the murder of comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, revolutionary leader of the proletariat and the people of Turkey, is commemorated.
With comrade Kaypakkaya the struggle to complete the revolution of new democracy in Turkey reached a new level. This because he knew to answer the fundamental problems of his country under the flags of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. In this sense, we consider the contributions to the People's War in Turkey and the necessity of the Party, the army and the front as very relevant. The current situation in the middle east keeps the necessity of the People’s War as the order of the day, fundamental task initiated by the revolutionary leader who gave his own life for it.
Comrade Kaypakkaya was a great internationalist, made of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution his own flag, he firmly combated the contemporary revisionism and parliamentary cretinism in Turkey, developed the Kurdish national question, was a consequent anti-imperialist bringing the scientific ideology of the proletariat to the poorest of the countryside.
Today, all these questions are more valid than ever in the struggle against bureaucratic capitalism, semifeudality and imperialism. We need these lessons to combat against all the opportunist and revisionist currents, new or old.
Only by applying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism we can advance as comrade Kaypakkaya did, put the People’s War as the only path to establish the new power and demolish the old Turkish fascist state.
Only by the path raised by comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, the path of People’s War, can the proletariat of Turkey and of North Kurdistan set free from the yoke of the imperialist oppression, sweep away semifeudality and end with bureaucratic capitalism.
Lastly we want to express our deepest class hatred against the reactionary fascist Turkish state and the counter-revolutionary classes it represents.
Eternal glory to comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya!
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
Red Fraction of the Communist Party of Chile
