Come out for the International Day of Struggle against Fascism and War! For global active struggle for world peace!

On 6 August the world observes the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by the USA. 1 September is the anniversary of the unleashing of the 2nd World War by German fascism. In a time of an increasing threat of war, the International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organizations (ICOR) calls for the International Day of Struggle against Fascism and War on these two days.

US imperialism tries to keep up the lie that the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were necessary to end World War II. The truth is that 265,000 people had to die the terrible nuclear death and further 120,000 injured had to lead a life in agony, so that Japan would come under the domination of the USA and not surrender to the approaching Red Army. The US government denies giving any apology for that to date. Today there are more than 17,000 atomic bombs worldwide; 96 percent are owned by the USA and Russia. The explosive power exceeds that of all weapons of World War II by 2,500 times.

For the ban and destruction of all nuclear weapons worldwide!

Today the threat of war is being increased by the rivalry of the imperialist powers, the focal points being in Ukraine, the Middle East, Western Asia and the Asian-Pacific region. Such regional flashpoints can spread up to the point of a new world war threatening all life on earth. Along with imperialist powers like the US, China, Russia, etc., imperialism’s regional pillars such as India, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Turkey, Zionist Israel etc., which are major arms importers and having huge stockpiles of arms also play a major role in intensifying the global armament race. The NATO is spreading. Also new forms of fascism like the “Islamist State”/Daesh are responsible for the increase of brutal wars of aggression.

Regional unjust wars are one of the main reasons for the worldwide refugee movement with a historic climax of refugees numbering more than 65 million. The struggle for maintaining world peace must be led internationally against imperialism. The ICOR fights against all imperialists and all forms of the causes of war.

With the increasing worldwide crisis-proneness of imperialism, its tendency to internal and external reaction comes to light more and more. In India, Turkey, the Ukraine and Russia there is a drastic fascization of the state apparatuses and government politics. In Europe in Poland, Hungary, Macedonia, Slovakia and Austria among others ultra right-wing and protofascist tendencies have developed in government policy. In France the Hollande government declared a persistent state of emergency and the German government has made a shift to the right. Many bourgeois governments have clearly moved to the right. In many countries we are experiencing a strong societal polarization between a reactionary protofascist to fascist and a progressive, internationalist and revolutionary pole. This is a challenge for the revolutionaries of the world.

Wars and the danger of war will only be abolished by the revolutionary overcoming of the imperialist world system!

The ICOR supports the worldwide peace movement and the struggle of the masses against the military aggression of any imperialist power without exception. It organizes the solidarity with revolutionary liberation movements. It especially calls on the youth for the antimilitarist struggle.

For peace and friendship among the peoples – for socialism!

Get organized in revolutionary parties and organizations! Join the “Friends of ICOR” where such parties still have to be built up! The revolutionary struggle for overcoming the imperialist world system is the most resolute struggle for peace.

Workers of all countries, unite!

Workers of all countries and oppressed peoples, unite!
