 2024\nOn The Second Year Anniversary Of The War In Ukraine\n\nShut Down 
 Travis AFB On 2/24/24\n—Stop the US Funded Gaza Genocide Immediately with 
 Mass Labor Global Action —No To War in Ukraine & The Middle East\n—Stop 
 US Wars Abroad & Encirclement of China\n—Shut Down All 800 US Bases 
 Around the World\n—Money For Healthcare, Education & Housing, Win The War 
 At Home \n—Protect The Climate & End The Wars Now!\n\nAs part of an 
 international day of action against imperialist war, there will be rallies 
 at US military bases around the world.\n\nUnions such as Italian Si Cobus 
 and Doro-Chiba in Japan will be acting together internationally to stop the 
 genocide in Gaza, the war in Ukraine, and the encirclement of China with 
 more US bases in Okinawa and Korea. We will be joining them at Travis Air 
 force Base. Travis is the main base for the transfer of weapons to Israel, 
 the Middle East, Ukraine, Korea, Japan, and Africa.\nThe US Democrats and 
 Republicans are driving the world towards global nuclear war. We in the US 
 need to stop this US support of genocide.\n\nCall for a day of mobilization 
 against the wars of capital on February 24, 2024 \n\nShut Down Travis AFB 
 On 2/24/24\n\n\n\nIn a historical phase in which the contradictions of 
 global capitalism are intensifying, from Ukraine to Palestine, from Sudan 
 to the Congo, imperialist states increasingly resort to war and the 
 massacre of human beings. By doing so, they want to violently 'resolve' 
 conflicts of interest between their capitalist monopolies, or renew their 
 colonial and neocolonial domination over oppressed peoples.\n\nThe workers, 
 the proletarians called upon to slaughter one another to decide who will 
 exploit them, must declare war on the wars of capital and organize 
 themselves to overthrow capitalist domination of the world.\n\nWith the 
 ongoing war in Ukraine, on the European continent, for the first time since 
 the Second World War, two alignments of great capitalist powers are openly 
 clashing: Russia on the one hand (with partial support from China and 
 several emerging powers), and NATO (US and European powers) on the other, 
 supplying the military materiel, with Ukraine providing the cannon fodder. 
 After almost two years and more than 500,000 casualties and 10 million 
 displaced people, 6.2 million of whom have emigrated, the slaughter 
 continues with the risk of escalation, which, combined with global 
 rivalries, makes World War III a real catastrophic possibility, for which 
 all powers are preparing with a generalized arms race.\n\nIn the face of 
 this war that is imperialist on both sides, as in the face of the outbreak 
 of World War I, some of the currents of the anti-capitalist left have split 
 between supporters of one or the other of the two warring camps. Which talk 
 of 'self-determination' of Ukraine when the fierce dispute between two 
 wings of the national bourgeoisie has plunged this country into the tragic 
 path of war and, with Zelensky, of complete submission to western 
 imperialism? Which war against 'Nazism'\n\non the part of Russia, when 
 Putin and his entourage, who want to revive the tsarist empire, are 
 supported by Russian Nazis and in turn support far-right organizations 
 throughout Europe?\n\nAgainst both camps of clashing powers, let us raise 
 the banner of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, to give substance to the 
 proletarian opposition to both war fronts: "the main enemy is at 
 home!".\n\nIn the Middle East, Israel's heinous colonial and annihilation 
 war against the Palestinians of Gaza, with the massacre to date of 32,000 
 civilians, mostly children and women, the displacement and imminent 
 starvation of more than two million people, the systematic destruction of 
 homes, public buildings, hospitals, and basic infrastructure, together with 
 the fascist attacks by settlers and the army on the Palestinians in the 
 West Bank. It proofs the support of the western powers to the Zionist 
 state, their outpost in the Middle East; and the complicity of the other 
 big powers and regional powers, unwilling to sacrifice their own affairs to 
 the Palestinian cause. The only allies of the Palestinian people are the 
 proletarians of the Middle East and the workers and youth around the world 
 who are taking to the streets in support of the Palestinian people, in 
 support of their extraordinary resistance, their century-long struggle for 
 self-determination by putting an end to the Zionist and Western machine of 
 oppression in Palestine. Today, more than ever, Palestine is the home of 
 the oppressed of the world! We support the Palestinian resistance, despite 
 our criticism of the political and ideological alternatives of the Islamist 
 forces.\n\nAll states, all governments, are expressions of profiteering 
 bourgeoisies linked to the major imperialist powers, to the capitalist 
 monopolies, to the international financial system, and are part and parcel 
 of the social system that produces war; none of them can be allies in the 
 war on war.\n\nThe decline of the American superpower in the face of the 
 emergence of new medium and great powers, the transition from a 
 US-dominated world (dis)order to a 'multipolar world' cannot bring about 
 equilibrium and peace, but - as we are already seeing - growing imbalances, 
 tensions and new wars. Wars which, in their essence, are wars for the 
 sharing out of the fruits of the exploitation of the vast majority of 
 society by a small minority.\n\nOur camp is not the camp of the bourgeois 
 states, it is the camp of the exploited and oppressed classes, of the 
 workers, of the international proletariat, the only class that has an 
 interest, and has the strength - if it organizes itself - to put an end to 
 the wars that its exploiters wage at its expense. After the low point of 
 the revolutionary movement has been passed, it is necessary for the 
 organizations that stand on the ground of revolutionary defeatism against 
 the wars of capital, on the ground of coherent proletarian 
 internationalism, to come together in common initiatives. The time is now, 
 before it is too late!\n\nThe past matters, but we will be judged from our 
 ability to meet the challenges of our historical period head-on.\n\nOn 
 Saturday 24 February 2024, the second anniversary of the war in Ukraine, 
 let us join forces in an international day of protest and struggle against 
 the wars of capital!\n\n- against both warring parties in Ukraine, for 
 revolutionary defeatism - "the enemy is at home!"\n\n- on the side of the 
 liberation struggle of the Palestinian people against the national, racial, 
 religious oppression and discrimination of the imperialist-zionist state 
 Israel\n\n- for a society without exploitation and war, of harmony between 
 man and nature.\n\nProletarians of all countries, let’s unite!\n\nThis 
 call is supported by:\n\nSi Cobas, Doro-Chiba, Partido Obrero,  
 International Anti-Imperialist United Front,  MLPD, United Front Committee 
 For A Labor Party UFCLP\ninfo@ufclp.org\n
