Resolution of the Anti-imperialist Camp, Assisi 2001Today, in the name of globalisation the imperialist forces have opened a total war against the worker´s class and the oppressed people of the world. With their decisions which they hide from the people a handful of exploiters decide on the fate of milliars of people. Without caring about any rules it tries to bend down the countries and people´s movements whom they see as dangerous. Today imperialism can apply embargos against any country it wants. To avoid a possible revolution troups are sent and they try to make interventions, throw bombs on peoples who want to protect their independence, and continue their politics of plunder and destruction through institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank.As ist is the case everywhere, … [read more]

Richard Robison, professor of Asian and international politics at Murdoch UniversityIn just 21 months the euphoria of Wahid`s election to the presidency has become the humiliation of his impeachment by Indonesia`s parliament. It is undeniable that Wahid brought much of this on himself. Ironically, this staunch democrat proved unable to understand what politics means in a democratic system, stubbornly refusing to build alliances and broker deals with a volatile parliament. But are the dramatic events of recent days all about idiosyncratic behaviour and political naivety or is something much deeper taking place in Indonesia? Does the Megawati presidency simply signal the injection of some commonsense into democratic government? Or are we witnessing nothing less than the re-emergence of … [read more]

Address of the RPC Russia to the Anti-imperialist CampThe revolutionary Party of Communists (RPC) welcomes your Camp and supports its main idea of revolutionary struggle against the contemporary imperialism in the epoch of globalisation of capital, which destroys today not only rights, freedoms and welfare of millions of working people in both imperialist and developing countries, but also the basis of the very life on Earth. We quite agree, that the revolt against this world of injustice, growing inequality and terrifying absurd is not only fair, but necessary. The proof of it we see in the fact, that in Russia as well as in many other parts of the World more and more people are raising in arms (not only military, but also political, scientific and cultural arms of critique), … [read more]

Report of the DHKC on the Summer Camp 2001The main issue for the delegation of the Revolutionary People`s Front (DHKC) from Turkey at the Antiimperialist Camp has been the heroic struggle of the political prisoners in Turkish prisons. On October 20, 2000 they started their death fast to protest against their transfer to the new F-type prisons, which actually mean solitary confinement. On Dec 19, the police stormed three prisons and within the next three days tortured and murdered prisoners most brutally. 28 prisoners lost their lives in the murderous attack cynically called "Operation `Back to Life`". The police used hundreds of teargas and nerve gas grenades as well as innumerable fire bombs and guns. Their words were: "We came to kill you". The plan behind this action was to end the … [read more]

Report on the plenary session with Senideak and the Confederation of Sardinian CommunistsThe Sardinian movement is one of the most forgotten fights for national self-determination in Europe.

Senideak, an organisation of the relatives of political prisoners in the Basque country, stressed the point that the national struggle in their country is and always … [read more]
