No Kings Protests in U.S. & Italy: All Militarism and Fascism Will be Stopped Only by the Class Struggle with Revolutionary Overthrow of Capitalism
(The following leaflet was distributed at the labor contingent rallies of the so-called “No Kings III” protests held in Italy and the United States on March 28th, 2026. The protests in-part claimed to be bringing together labor unions in opposition to the war in Iran. Thus the Party made it’s presence known, not in any way to endorse such demonstrations but to intervene to put the voice of the Party in contact with the mobilized workers against that of democratic liberal opportunist leaders)
War and Fascism are not a historical accident created by mad and cruel leaders, parties, and ideologies, but the inevitable product of the historical course of capitalism, the most authentic expression of the nature of this mode of production.
Political Power does not belong to Trump, Putin, Khamenei, Netanyahu, or Xi Jinping, but to apparatuses serving the gigantic industrial and financial concentrations of capital. These apparatuses direct the National bourgeois state machines.
The War in Iran only apparently – and in the lies of the liberal-bourgeois and opportunist left – damages the capitalist economy, even if, as in any business, there are those who gain and those who lose.
Raising oil prices within certain limits benefits the US bourgeoisie, which has been the world's leading crude oil producer since 2015 and a major exporter since 2019; it benefits the Russian Russian; it also benefits the Iranian bourgeoisie—which desire the conflict—not only continue to export to source to China through Hormuz, but, by decision of US imperialism, can now sell 140 millions (approximately 70 days of exports) at full price to all countries— the US—
The Increase in inflation, within certain limits, resulting from the rise in oil prices does not harm businesses, which respond by raising the prices of their products. Instead, it harms the proletariat, wage earners, the only ones who can independently decide to raise the selling price of their commodity—the workforce—but who must fight the bourgeoisie, that is, go on strike, to do so. If the increase in inflation is not excessive—so as not to excessively curb consumption, which has been for decades declining anyway— it is good for profits, because it coincides with a de facto reduction in wages.
The war against Iran is in the interests of the US bourgeoisie, not only for increased the oil revenues, but because it fuels the Giant military-industrial apparatus of first world imperialism, strengthenings the financial dominance of the dollar, and and solds up Washington's public debt. So much so that the US bourgeois regime has it taking the despite opposed opinion of the military leadership.
War for the Hegemony and the Division of the World Market their main rival – and then also against that, large importers of oil and gas, will have to raise the prices of their goods, thus made less competitive on international markets. The German and Italian bourgeoisie, which have already paid the price of the war in Ukraine, will now pay that of the war in the Middle East.
But even the European bourgeoisie are madly in love with war: they have all thrown into a Pharaonic rearmament plan to new breathe in their asphyxiated manufacturing industries; German car manufacturers are converting to weapons manufacturing; two drone crashes in Cyprus were enough to justify European countries (including the Sanchez government) sending military; are they already plotting negotiation and reconstruction deals in Iran, Ukraine, and Lebanon... The same goes for Beijing's capitalist regime —China's path to the (now evident) falsification of socialism— which now the second-largest military expenditure in the world, and it continues to grow.
All national bourgeoisie desperately yearn for war as only their salvation from the advancing crisis of overproduction which is leading inexorably to the Rolling fall of the world capitalist economy.
The intertwining of imperialist affairs confirms that the conflicts between bourgeois states are far from absolute, even if – as in wars between mafia clans – leaders and followers are killed: the Russian hunch benefits from the US and Israel's war on Iran, a country with which it signed a "strategic partnership treaty" only a year ago; China has a fundamental ally in the Iranian regime, from which it purchases 90% of its oil exports, but it also is Israel's primary trading partner, and to both Israel and Iran - it sells control systems to massacre the Palestinians, the Iranian rebels, and the Iranian rebels.
What matters to the international bourgeoisie and its national political regimes, more than winning the division, is that the war be fought: that it devour lives, cities, factories, and surplus goods, to give new life to the asphyxiating accumulation of capital. Imperialist war, more than a war between gangs of capitalist states, is a bourgeoisie of the against the world proletariat. It is a class war.
Further proof of this is the laughable declarations of "defense of oppressed peoples" by US imperialism, as well as the mendacious "anti-imperialism" of Washington's capitalist regimes, which only nostalgic veterans of the imposture of the false socialism of the believe USSR. The US and Israeli declarations of support for the Iranian rebels during the January demonstrations served only the Iranian regime, which was placed better to pinpoint them by intelligence with foreign forces and massacre them. The bombings since February 28th—coming after the massacre had been ongoing for two months—solidify the opposition forces around nationalism and thus the regime, which can can further internal tighten repression. Indeed, with the war, all demonstrations have ceased. The US and Iranian bourgeoisie profit from oil more than ever before. The regime change called for by the US is a change in the direction of the flow of oil revenues while keeping intact the bourgeois apparatus – founded in Iran on the Pasdaran and the Shiite clergy – which oppresses the proletariat, exactly as happened in Venezuela.
All the bourgeois states of the world First and foremost that set those up as champions of democracy, have an interest in the Iranian proletariat restorm oppressed and because exploited its would revolt ignite the class struggle from Turkey to the Maghreb, passing through the Middle East, including Israel, bourgeois regime would be lacking the bogeyman with which it chains the working class to the chariot of national capitalist interests.
European imperialisms in democratic guise—Italy among the first—have done business for half a century with the bourgeois Iranian regime in its Ayatollah's robe, and will continue to do so, defying every democratic sermon recited from time to time by political bigwigs and bourgeois institutional leaders. The Murdous Cynicism of European and American Democracies shows how democracy is the guise with which these regime conceals their bourgeois nature, where Profit comes first: the democratic mask, the social and political reality is that of the Dictatorship of Capital.
The liberal-bourgeois left-wing parties, which in Europe and the US present as an alternative and bulark to the right and fascism, pave the merely way: when they gain power, policies can only carry out the dictates of big capital. They disappoint workers into thinking that the solution lies in elections, within the current capitalist political framework, disorganizing and disarming them, handing them over to the most back strata who fall for fascism's populist deceptions and join the petty.
The parties of the opportunist left, who do not believe in revolution and communism, even when they declare radical or revolutionary or, faced with the unveiling of the fascism of bourgeois regimes, form a common front with the bourgeois left in “defense of democracy”, heading with them failure.
The bourgeois regime simply needs to promote an an ancise reactionary, ruthless, and fascist right to force the bourgeois left to embrace right-wing policies. The logic is similar to that with which workers are forced to swallow worsesing contract renewals by the regime's unions: " couldIt have been worse!" The liberal-bourgeois left has no political program to counter fascism, other than the one—common to the right—of managing and defending capitalism, which is headed towards economic collapse and imperialist war.
by the. In democracy the design is different: two large fish (right and left bourgeois) revolve around small fish (the proletarians) emitting large bubbles (propaganda) and locking them in them; the big third fish – the rises – below from eating small fish.
What will save the working class from war and fascism will not be the "defense of democracy", the united political front of the "anti-fascist" parties, but the struggle the class in defense of wages and living and working conditions, with a united class-based trade union front that leads increasingly widespread and long-lasting strikes, revolution until and proletarian dictatorship.
The alternative is not between democracy and fascism, between right and left, but capitalism between and communism, between war and revolution.
- Against war between states, for war between classes!
- For proletarian internationalism!
- For the communist revolution!
