Stop corrupt leadership of Mubarak union movement

Independent unionists demand that head of corrupt state-run Egyptian Trade Union Federation should be stopped from leaving Egypt with his ill-gotten gains. Read the report from the CTUWS on LabourStart here:http://www.labourstart.org/egypt/

The Committee for a Workers International (CWI), in solidarity with the people of Egypt, calls for:

- The formation of democratically elected committees of mass struggle and defense against Mubarak's thugs and state repression and to organize the distribution and supply of food and essential needs

- Mass workers' action, including a general strike, to overthrow Mubarak and the whole rotten, brutal regime

- For rank and file committees of police and soldiers.  Side with the masses and purge the officers and hierarchy

- No to sectarianism!  For the unity of all workers across religious lines

- Full democratic rights immediately, including the rights to assemble, to strike and to organize democratic independent trade unions

-No trust in any new 'national unity' regime based on the interests of the ruling class and imperialism

-Immediate and free elections to a revolutionary democratic constituent assembly.  For a government of workers, small farmers and rural poor.

-A living minimum wage, guaranteed jobs, a massive program of house building, education and health care

-Nationalization of Egypt's big corporations, the banks and large estates and their democratic planning to meet the needs of the masses not of an elite

-For the formation of a party of workers, and those exploited by capitalism, a party with a socialist program

-Full support for mass opposition movements to overthrow dictators across the region

-A socialist Egypt and a socialist confederation of the region, on an equal and voluntary basis.

I wish a Communist future for  Egypt , Haiti, and the entire international working class. Socialism is dead as it contains too many divisive features of the capitalist system like the wage system. Socialism has proven in 2 great revolutions to eventually lead to irreconcilable contradictions that cause restoration of capitalism. Dialectical materialism is a science and we must apply its lessons from recent history to advance our revolutionary theory. Socialism is dead! Long live communism!
