ARTIKLER OM IRAK

WORKER-COMMUNIST PARTY OF IRAQ:

  1. The State of the Islamic Movement in Iraq's Political Future (WCPI)
  2. A Short History of the Worker-Communist Party of Iraq (WCPI)
  3. Iraq: Achilles' Heel of the USA Government (WCPI)
  4. No to Political Islam's Violations of Rights and Freedoms in Iraq (WCPI)
  5. We must firmly oppose both poles of terrorism (WCPI)
  6. The political situation in Iraq after the fall of the Ba'ath regime (WCPI)

  8. Green Banner Carriers Commits a Bloody Massacre and Ignite Rotten Nationalistic Conflicts in Kirkuk (WCPI)
  9. Workers demand control (WCPI)
  10. Baghdad's fall to US military
    "For the people of Iraq the US victory over Saddam's regime, which the US and European governments themselves maintained in power, is not the route to achieve freedom and prosperity. A government that is to be put together by victorious US generals with the aid of tribal heads and religious mullahs has nothing to do with the demands, desires and shattered hopes of the deprived people of Iraq. None of the just and progressive demands of the people of Iraq are represented in the post-Saddam regime.
    The most appropriate and immediate solution is the urgent withdrawal of US and British troops and the introduction of UN forces for a transitory period, as well as the recognition of people's political and civil rights in order to allow them to determine their preferred government under free and secure circumstances. The progressive struggle of the people of Iraq on the one hand and the continued struggle of the people of the world on the other is the necessary precondition for its realisation and imposition on the US and UN."

    Worker Communist Party of Iraq - April 2003


ALLIANCE FOR WORKERS' LIBERTY:

  1. Iraq: what next?
  2. Solidarity with Iraqi workers now!
  3. Let Iraq's peoples decide!
  4. After the fall of Baghdad - Who will win the peace?
    "It is good that Saddam's totalitarian regime has been broken. It is bad that it was done by the US/UK invaders, in their own way, pursuing their own interests. Out of the anti-war movement we should now build a movement in solidarity with the working people of Iraq, upholding the democratic rights of the peoples of Iraq and, especially, the struggles and the rights to organise of the workers of Iraq. Iraq has the raw materials for a powerful workers' movement, which could be leader in organising a democratic accommodation between the different communities in Iraq, and which could upset all the USA's plans.
    Solidarity with the Iraqi workers' movement - in the first place, with the right to organise trade unions and political parties - should be a priority."
  5. A working class answer to US imperialism and Saddam Hussein (september 2002)
    "When we campaign against the threat of US war on Iraq we should not do so in any way that implies credence to or support for Saddam Hussein's "anti-imperialist" claims. Cheap agitation such as that which declares Bush and Sharon to be "the real axis of evil" and the "real terrorists" should be rejected. Whatever about Bush's hypocrisy, Saddam's regime is "really" as evil and as terrorist as any on earth. We oppose the US war plans, not in the name of support for the Iraqi regime, but in the name of international democracy and working-class solidarity."


NEWS AND LETTERS:

  1. Tasting the bitter fruits of occupation (maj 2003)
  2. Nationwide opposition to war on Iraq (maj 2003)
    "All along, we Marxist-Humanists have condemned the Hussein regime for its crimes against humanity, yet do not believe that the current war is at all justified for many reasons. We support the aspirations of the Iraqi people to be free of all forms of oppression, whether from the Saddam Hussein regime, from other internal conservative forces such as religious fundamentalism, and from the attempt by the U.S. and Britain to incorporate Iraq into their version of globalized capitalism".
  3. UN paves the way for U.S. invasion of Iraq (dec. 2002)
    "The failure to present a liberatory alternative - not only to U.S. imperialism and global capitalism, but also to those whose opposition to the U.S. is on a reactionary basis - has given U.S. imperialism, in addition to its immense economic and military power, a major ideological weapon. It has allowed the Bush administration to claim that it supports both democracy and women's rights in the Middle East and the Muslim world. This has immeasurably strengthened Bush's hand as he prepares to go into Iraq."
  4. Bush's war against Iraq threatens global disaster (okt.2002)
    "At the end of the Gulf War the Kurds and Shi'ites rose up against Hussein, only to be betrayed by the U.S. The anti-Gulf War movement which had emerged in this period proved totally unable to deal with the situation. It failed to take a firm stand against Hussein or in defense of the Kurds, Shi'ites, and others. The notion that the crimes of Hussein need not be discussed for the sake of focusing everything on a critique of U.S. rulers left the anti-war movement unprepared to deal with the great betrayal that was visited upon the Iraqi people."
