LONG LIVE INTERNATIONAL
WORKERS' DAY 2026!
The
SUTEP UNION Defense Committee, with a class-based stance, expresses
its fervent class-based greetings to the Peruvian and international
proletariat, to the teachers of the Public Schools, and to our
beloved and indestructible people, in the context of May Day:
International Workers' Day, a date to raise the banner of “Rebellion
is justified,” declaring the Next:
International
Context:
Oppressed
Nations are the foundation of transformations within the context of
intensifying contradictions, primarily fueled by the Principal
Contradiction: Imperialism versus Oppressed Nations.
The
Middle East is ablaze, and the proletariat is struggling intensely,
with the prospect of the collapse and disintegration of imperialism
within 100 to 150 years and the triumph of the "Society of Great
Universal Harmony," without exploiters or exploited. The
Principal Contradiction: Imperialism versus oppressed peoples and
nations of the Third World, is shaking the countries of the globe.
Thus, as a continuation of the First Campaign initiated in June 2025,
the imperialist-Zionist War of Aggression, launched on February 28,
2026, against the people of Iran by the United States, with the
Zionist state and instrument of Israel, is unfolding under the false
pretense that the people of Iran: “is a threat to the security of
the United States and Israel due to its development of nuclear
weapons and long-range missiles…” And the lies continue as part
of their abject Low-Intensity Warfare: lying to generate favorable
public opinion. On March 1st, they had bombed more than 2,000
targets, assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
along with his entire family. His son, Mukhta Khamenei (403-2026),
has been chosen as his successor, and consequently, in these war
crimes perpetrated by imperialism-Zionism, they have failed to
eliminate the leadership of Iran. The more than 2,000 “targets”
of this abject attack were against the civilian population, against
the cities where the Iranian people live.
On
February 28, 2026, 185 girls, teachers, and parents were killed at
the Minab Primary School in Iran. The girls killed in this execrable
genocide ranged in age from 7 to 12. The imperialist-Zionists, with
the US President, the arch-reactionary and genocidal Donald Trump,
and Netanyahu of the Zionist State of Israel as their
representatives, had planned this vile "Epic Fury" campaign
to eliminate the leadership, crush, defeat, and subjugate the Iranian
people, and "change the regime." But their perfidious plans
have been thwarted by the heroic resistance of the Iranian people,
who even struck their aircraft carrier, the "Abraham Lincoln,"
considered "invincible" by the supposed "most powerful
army on earth," with four missiles, rendering it inoperable and
forcing it to flee. The missiles have also destroyed more than eight
bases of US imperialism, and the genocidal Netanyahu had to flee to
Berlin (Germany) in the early stages of this execrable
imperialist-Zionist War of Aggression.
The
people of Iran launch powerful hypersonic missiles that impact the
territory of the fascist, genocidal, and Zionist state of Israel.
These treacherous actions are linked to the campaigns waged against
the people of Venezuela and the "encirclement" of the
people of Cuba, as well as the fallacious "ceasefire in Iran,"
which in reality is further genocide against the heroic Iranian
people.
US
imperialism, in collusion and struggle with the nuclear superpower of
Russia and the Chinese imperialism of Xi Jinping, intends to dominate
the oppressed peoples and nations of the Third World and offload its
crises, through US imperialist tariffs, onto the shoulders of the
people. But their days are numbered; they will "bite the dust of
defeat." And against this imperialist-Zionist War of Aggression,
the people of Iran confront it with a just and righteous War of
National Resistance. The balance sheet of the Imperialist-Zionist War
of Aggression is resounding:
In
this First Campaign, the Iranian people have dealt the fascist beasts
a resounding defeat. The abject Yankees boast of having murdered more
than 38 million people since 1971, with various lies, perpetrating
horrendous genocides. They are mobilizing 50,000 members of their
army to occupy Iran. Experts in murdering children, teachers, and
families, as in the Minab Primary School: 168 girls murdered. This
hyena has encountered a people who, with a War of National
Resistance, are striking precise blows, shooting down their
"invisible" planes and rendering their largest aircraft
carriers in the world inoperable.
In
short, the imperialist beast is living its last gasps, and even if
they use their atomic weapons as they are plotting, they will be
crushed by the peoples of the world, led by their vanguard. They have
fabricated a false "ceasefire" to "re-arm," but
their accomplice, the Zionist state of Israel, continues to
perpetrate genocide against the heroic people of Palestine and
Lebanon.
And
in Latin America, there is a generalized crisis generated by outdated
bureaucratic capitalism, where semi-feudal and semi-colonial
countries, subjected primarily to Yankee imperialism, are engaged in
a sharp class struggle between the big bourgeoisie and the landowners
who hold political power against the people. Composed of these social
classes—peasantry, proletariat, petty bourgeoisie—even the
bourgeoisie is conditioned by the interests of the oppressor and
dominant class, as seen in the countries of Chile, Brazil, Mexico,
and Peru. In this painting, one can observe the enormous
concentration of "wealth" by a handful of Big Bourgeois and
Landowners.
National
Context;
Currently,
a general crisis and decay of the State and Government System is
evident, marked by intermittent institutional corruption.
The
current historical moment is summarized in these main contradictions:
masses/feudalism, primarily the poor peasantry, against landowners;
people/bureaucratic capitalism, workers against this fascist,
genocidal, and traitorous regime; nation/imperialism, the Peruvian
people against the fire sale and plundering of natural resources by
transnational and monopolistic companies of Yankee imperialism,
primarily. And we must also consider the claws of Chinese
imperialism: the investment in the Chancay Mega-port in Lima,
amounting to 4.5 billion dollars.
In
Peru, just 17 families possess a vast fortune amassed from the wages,
absolute surplus value, hunger, and misery of the people, totaling
more than 90,328,800,000 (ninety billion three hundred twenty-eight
thousand eight hundred thousand million soles). In Engineer Ernesto
Linares Macaro. The richest families in Peru, 2024 (INFOBAE, January
6, 2025). And the “struggle for land” persists: “almost
1,400,000 hectares have been transferred to large private capital in
the last two decades, and in the agricultural sector alone, deals
have been made for almost 320,000 hectares. What can we say about
these transfers? First of all, that almost 80% of the land was
transferred by the State to private individuals, through auctions,
awards, and concessions. Then, the agents of the new land
concentration in the country are fully identified economic groups or
independent companies, such as Gloria, Romero, Oviedo, or Dyer, which
participate indiscriminately in the auctions of mega-irrigation
projects, in the sugar and biofuels sector, and in the land market
with enormous subsidies directed by the State” (Brutal
Reconcentration of Land on the Peruvian Coast, Alejo Relzundi
Silvera, May 13, 2023).
After
successive “coups d'état,” the lawyer Jeri and the other lawyer
and former magistrate, Balcazar, criminally charged with stealing
money from the Lambayeque Bar Association and authoring Law 32171,
which allows the State to grant job “appointments” to his
children, and complicit in the actions of the Fujimori political
“cartels,” Acuña, López Aliaga, and other parasites, They live
off Congress and the State; the country is mired in a generalized
crisis where Congress serves to enact legislation that supports and
grants “impunity” to crime, with all branches of government
rotten with illicit activity and dominated by the “institution of
corruption.” They even appointed a member of the mafia (a criminal
organization known as the “White Collars”) to the Public
Prosecutor's Office, the Attorney General, Tomás Aladino Gálvez, to
shelve complaints and protect the thugs in the Public Administration.
They have even removed a judge, Dr. Delia Espinoza, to give them
“free rein” and have taken over the Public Prosecutor's Office.
In
the following table, landowners concentrate vast agricultural areas,
with a centuries-old land problem that remains unresolved: Colombia,
81%; Peru, 77%; Chile, 74%; Paraguay, 66%. A fascist, genocidal, and
traitorous regime, then, selling off natural resources piece by
piece. “Strategic” resources—uranium, lithium, iron, copper,
hydrocarbons, and, more recently, “rare earth elements”—are
primarily for the benefit of U.S. imperialism. The people suffer
chronic hunger, intensified overexploitation, and impoverished wages
compared to the lavish salaries of the privileged bureaucracy, amidst
rampant inflation and the fire sale of natural resources; in addition
to a systematic denial of the people's rights. The class struggle
unfolds with growing popular protest, which the Big Bourgeoisie seeks
to crush with repression and genocide. Now, any inhabitant of Peru
who exercises the fundamental right to free expression, thought, and
protest is arrested and imprisoned to be sanctioned as a “terrorist.”
There
is, therefore, a continuity of a fascist, genocidal, and traitorous
regime, initiated on April 5, 1992, and to preserve it, they have
staged their farce and electoral fraud for April 12, 2026: “General
Elections.” These elections are a means of domination and an
instrument to attempt to crush the struggles of the people and,
centrally, their vanguard, as well as to preserve this outdated
social order that only benefits the Big Bourgeoisie, the Landowners,
and the Bureaucratic Capitalism of Yankee imperialism, primarily.
According to the ONPE (National Office of Electoral Processes), the
presidential election has these partial results: Keiko Fujimori of
Fuerza Popular, with 17.091%, representing the Big Bourgeoisie, Buyer
Faction, has the most votes; followed by Roberto Sánchez of Juntos
por el Perú, representing the Big Bourgeoisie, Bureaucratic Faction,
with 12.038%. followed by Rafael López Aliaga, in third place, of
Popular Renewal, with 11.880%. Consequently, they advance to the
second round, to be held on June 7, 2026, between the two leading
candidates for President of the Republic. Immediately upon losing
these elections, López Aliaga protested the process, demanding that
they be annulled. The National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE)
responded that they cannot be annulled, and even the international
observers support them, arguing that they were conducted normally.
These
general elections were organized by the exploiting and oppressive
classes of the people, namely the Big Bourgeoisie with its two
factions colluding and vying for political power: the Comprador Big
Bourgeoisie and the Bureaucratic Big Bourgeoisie, with the support of
U.S. imperialism, specifically its ambassador to the country. They do
not benefit, nor will they ever benefit, the people. They are part of
the Parliamentary Cretinism designed to renew and replace the
representatives of the Big Bourgeoisie and the Landowners. They
represent the path of the Bourgeoisie; they are not the path of the
People. Furthermore, these sham elections serve to uphold the Three
Great Mountains that oppress and exploit us, skinning us alive to
produce absolute surplus value: Imperialism, primarily Yankee
imperialism, Bureaucratic Capitalism, and Semi-feudalism. The central
task is to topple these Three Mountains to break the chains of brutal
exploitation, hunger, and misery.
Therefore,
do not vote; because doing so implies endorsing this outdated social
order and the Comprador Big Bourgeoisie, which seized power in 1980,
as well as the Landowners, Bureaucratic Capitalism, and even Yankee
imperialism. It's 14 centuries of oppression, since the emergence of
the State in the 7th century, and 200 years of a Bourgeois Republic,
with a "democracy" used only to exploit and oppress the
Peruvian people. In this context, the decaying
Landowning/Bureaucratic State, with its rotten "State Powers,"
is organizing the General Elections on April 12-13, 2026, to replace
authorities and renew the reactionary Congress, saturated with
lackeys of the exploiters and now boasting even more parasites: the
60 "Senators" and 130 Deputies. A unique feature is that it
is the Senate that will replace the President of the Republic in
cases of "declaration of vacancy," and it is
"indissoluble": it cannot be dissolved.
Therefore,
the General Elections are a constant means and instrument throughout
the country's history to "legitimize" this outdated social
order, which is in the midst of a generalized crisis. And whoever
"wins" these General Elections will implement more fascism,
genocide, and the sell-off of our nation, because it is the path of
the bourgeoisie and never of the people. And the people also have
another path: the Democratic Path, which is the path of Mariátegui,
led by the unfading Vanguard of the working class, pure steel and
embodying the Scientific Ideology of the Proletariat, which has
become a New, Third, and Superior Stage. This path will bring down
the Three Mountains that have plunged us into inequity, chronic
hunger, misery, and oppression.
Time
will tell: Imperialism is not eternal. For the people, and the people
alone, are the creators of history, guided by the light of the
Universe, the “proletarian steel” sustained by the unfading and
invincible Scientific Ideology of the Proletariat, now embodied since
December 26, 2022, in the revived New International: The
International League of Communists (ILC). And these facts are
historical, not “apologetics”; they are brilliant actions of a
historical nature that only the outstanding vanguards of the class
have so clearly defined.
They
cunningly employ Low-Intensity Warfare (distributing food
contaminated with pathogens and rotten meat to students in the
village) and the nefarious strategy of "masses against masses"
to manipulate the lives of teachers and drag them into the pigsty of
"meritocracy": "promotion within the teaching ranks,"
which, as we have reiterated, is a reactionary tactic designed to
privatize public schools and lead to their mass dismissal.
Meritocracy is a sinister plan of Yankee imperialism.
LONG
LIVE THE GROWING POPULAR PROTEST AND ITS DEVELOPMENT IN PERU!
DOWN
WITH THE GENOCIDAL, FASCIST, AND TREASONOUS DICTATORSHIP!

LIVE THE HEROIC WAR OF NATIONAL RESISTANCE OF THE PEOPLES OF
PALESTINE AND IRAN!
