Extreme Poverty
In Latin America, the wave of privatizations demanded by the
World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have ended up as a
recipe for unemployment, throwing thousands of workers out onto
the street to join what is already an army of the unemployed. The
largely unresolved contradictions of our continent have become
polarized. We believe that South America is the weak link in the
transnational imperialist chain in the era of "globalization".
The political and economic ideas diffused by the imperialist
bourgeoisie and their intelligentsia have no other purpose than
to annihilate a section of our society. We will attempt to
analyze these ideas in a scientific fashion. A task to which the
"progressive and revolutionary" intelligentsia should contribute
again, as it seems they entered into a period of self-censorship
some time ago. As a political organization which has developed in
the heart of the people, we will attempt to express these ideas
in a language which is as simple as possible, without losing
their scientific rigor. This method, and our practical actions,
keep us in the hearts and minds of the people, despite the wishes
of many who are still trying to make themselves believe the cries
of victory for Fujimoriism, and others who announced our
destruction at every possible opportunity, while apologizing for
the dictatorship. It is not our intention to fall into using
"fashionable terminology", but we consider it an obligation to
clarify concepts, which some people formerly active in
"revolutionary" and "progressive" circles starting using, thereby
only creating confusion and false hopes in our people.
At a time when the so-called "neo-liberal model" is showing its
true self, there have been a series of violent social protests,
as in Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, etc. , which proves that did
not achieve the results they claimed it would, and that they can
no longer sell false hopes to the millions of poor people pushed
into conditions of extreme misery, in Peru, in our Andes, and in
the whole of the continent.
"The Statements Of Intentions"; Or A Program For The Neo-Colonies
In the shadows of the "Statements of Intentions" developed by the
International Monetary Fund, they are proceeding to privatize the
land, natural resources, and that which remains of our industry.
These "Statements" are the real programs of the (neo-colonial)
governments of Latin America and have been the cause of massive
unemployment, poverty, and extreme misery, and they condemn
millions of people to death through starvation, like in Somalia.
It is in these conditions that the people of Peru and Latin
America, and their revolutionary organizations, must plan a
scientific and objective alternative to this murderous and
genocidal system.
The Peruvian people have struggled against and survived the
greatest economic genocide conceived by the ruling classes since
the conquest. From 1975, the ruling class has been trying to put
their neo-liberal plan into action, but the organized response of
the masses has impeded this. However, in 1990, despite popular
resistance, shock tactics were employed and we are now living
with the brutal consequences.
Liberalism And Neo-Liberalism
This "model", theoretically originating from the theories of the
liberal classics of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, is being
applied in the age of globalization. However, if we emphasize our
class differences with the classics of bourgeois economics, that
does not mean to say that we overlook their contribution to
general economic theory: the theory of work-value, which with
other class elements serves as the basis by which the injustice
of capitalist economic theory is revealed, where those who create
the wealth which circulates in the world do not have access to
it. Aside from the subjective question of justice and injustice,
this system created the revolutionary class: the proletariat,
which by its capacity to create wealth and by its form of social
organization within the productive precess is the only one
capable of forging a radical alternative to capitalism. The
crisis of capitalism is not created by the scarcity of goods,
like in the economies before capitalism, but by their excess.
From this point of view, the so-called "neo-liberals" are further
from Smith and Ricardo than Marxism; their bourgeois apologists
are neither willing nor able to enter into a debate about the
"theory of value", and instead they attempt to reduce the
creation of products and wealth to the omnipotent power of
capital and the market. Maybe they do not want to know that
capital exists as a product of the value accumulated and created
by the workers, which is then concentrated and appropriated into
private hands. On this point, which is the backbone of
liberalism, there is no convergence with the neo-liberals. In the
same way, the "free trade" proposed by the liberals has no
connection with the commercial monopoly exercised by the
globalizers, or multinational monopolists (imperialists).
According to Jonathan Elliot in 1987: "It is calculated that on
the world-market level, 40% of trade does not go through a free
market' but through internal trading (within the same
companies)". In 1994, Jules Kagian said in "Middle East
International" that: "In the United States, more than 80% of the
income from goods sold abroad, quantified in dollars, does not
come from exports but from sales by affiliated companies."
Globalization: The New Mask Of Imperialism
The deification of the market is nothing other than the product
of a development of national capital onto international levels,
breaking down its physical barriers. This phenomena was studied
at the start of this century and was named "imperialism" by
Lenin. In this way the globalization of the economy is just the
concentration of value created by world society in the
multinationals. That is to say the upward fusion of productive,
financial, and banking capital.
The number of multinational companies has risen from 7,000 in
1970 to 37,000 in 1992; i.e. former national companies have been
merging with those from other countries and they maintain a
dependance on the largest ones. The economic power of
multinational companies is greater than that of many national
states. Their sales for example have risen to 5.5 billion
dollars, 90% of which are made in the imperialist (northern)
countries and just 10% of which are made in the producer
(southern) countries. The economic power of the multinationals
gives them an unlimited political power over national states.
A Little Bit Of History
The development of production created an antagonistic
contradiction between the private ownership of the means of
production and the socialization of production itself between
capital and labor, and this resulted in many crises and two world
wars. These wars allowed the victors to carve up the world
markets again, and by so doing bury their crisis.
At the end of the Second World War, the fusion of capital via the
multinationals permitted largely North American capital, through
the Marshall Plan, to absorb that which remained of European and
Japanese capital. The multinationals made the most of the high
level of development achieved by labor in these countries.
However, despite the fact that the workers were selling
their labor in good conditions, due to the influence of
competition from the socialist countries, it was possible to
transcend neither the antagonistic contradictions between capital
and labor, nor those between the socialized nature of production
and the private appropriation of its products. Without this
insight it would be impossible for us to explain the discontent
and strikes in countries such as France.
It may be that the imperialists, or globalizers (to use the new
terminology), have invested huge quantities of money to
investigate how to avoid crises and violent uprisings, and that
they have achieved a degree of mind control through the mass
media, but they have not succeeded in curbing the discontent,
which is growing day by day, and every time it becomes more
difficult for them to make people believe that this system is not
responsible for world problems; in the north they see the waves
of immigrants and millions of dollars are sent as humanitarian
"aid" to the "under-developed" countries. In the post-war era,
they secured an internal market in the north, which increased in
depth but not in extension. This has lead to the development of
consumerism. This resulted in a bourgeoisfication of the working
classes, dividing them from their historic task. The reasoning
being that he who can satisfy his basic needs has no interest in
social change. Even though they are conscious of the fact that
their high standard of living comes from the extermination of
whole peoples, after the natural resources of these nations have
been plundered. The imperialist governments justify this by
saying that the peoples of the south are lazy and ignorant.
Despite this, they too have been affected by an incessant rise in
unemployment, which although it may be concealed by the
manipulation of statistics is still undeniably the case and
removes an important sector of the population from the consumer
market.
Another way by which they attempt to avoid or recover from their
crises is by developing regional wars far from their centers,
such as those based on religion, racism, territory, etc. These
provide excellent markets for weapons.
But something terrible is happening in the world of
globalization. Year by year profits are going down and the only
way they have of recovering from this is by cutting wages and
social benefits, and this has led to massive waves of
redundancies, first in the countries of the south and more
recently in their metropoles in the north. This tendency has no
chance of being reversed. The difference is that in the north the
social effects of these tendencies are dulled by the welfare
state, something we do not have in the south.
The welfare state is deteriorating in the north, at the same time
as the middle classes in Latin America are disappearing,
increasing the flow of external and internal migration in an
attempt to improve their living conditions.
The international proletariat and its organizations entered into
a period of decline due to the influences of "welfare statism"
and "reformism". This postponed the practical and theoretical
development of world socialism for a long time. However, the
enormous increase of the forces of production was not accompanied
by an alternative program, which would not just have curbed the
disproportionate increase in the exploitation of the forces of
labor and the pillaging of the earth's resources. It is, for
example, impossible to ignore the fact that today, despite the
fact that the forces of production have been doubled many times
since the last century and we have entered the phase of a
revolution in information technology and cybernetics, people
still work an eight hour day in the north and much longer in the
south. It is therefore logical that there should be unemployment
when one person is forced to do the work of two or three. It is
within the capacity of any worker to realize that if the working
day is not decreased by at least a third or even a half, then his
destiny as redundant is assured. In Latin America, the famous
privatizations, demanded by the IMF and World Bank, have been
nothing more than a cause of unemployment. However, through the
level of development of the forces of production achieved in
Latin America and through the politicization of our working
class, who have been forced into unemployment and are now in
transit (including back to their old communities in the
Andes), there has been a polarization of the unresolved
contradictions in our continent.
We are the weak link in the imperialist chain. Our continent has
passed through many ways, we have made many mistakes from which
we believe we have learned and we now propose to construct a
socialist alternative, because otherwise, if we stay in the
realms of imperialist globalization, we are condemned to
unemployment, misery, and extermination.
