Comrades,
The capitalist system, aware of its decline, knowing that even the most apathetic are losing confidence in its false promises, is growing fearful behind its façade of humanitarianism. The workers, employed and unemployed, are more and more grasping the fact that it is the bourgeois system responsible for the poverty, the misery, and wars that ravage the world. They understand too that all the wars in the world today are the consequence of the capitalists’ greed.
This growing awareness among international working people of the imperialists’ lies is shaping anti-capitalist organizing. This is true even where capitalism has entrenched its culture of individualism, racism, and all their other means of dividing and alienating us. This is why workers, the unemployed, and peasants, are in the process of organizing themselves against capitalism, or at least against its oppression and exploitation. Capitalism has deceived and disappointed the human race. To stay in command, and to continue their domination, the exploiting bourgeois criminals take up arms. They have used their force to hold down the whole working class, and black workers in particular.
Everywhere War, War Everywhere!
In Haiti, we live daily with the sound of shots from the machine guns of MINUSTAH [troops of the United Nations “peacekeepers” in Haiti] and the gangsters in the Haitian armed forces. We are oppressed and “downpressed,” and we struggle against the pressure! Our rallies, our non-violent marches and our sit-ins are subject to armed attacks. That is the only way these bourgeois cowards know how to respond to our just and well-organized struggles. It’s always tear gas, rubber bullets, and heavy weapons, to try to put down our movements against the inhuman actions of the system.
We here clearly understand what it is that you, CUNY students, are up against in this struggle, our struggle, the class struggle. That is precisely the struggle we must keep on waging. Everywhere, the oppressed must fight with passion against the militarization of society. We fight against war, we fight against imperialism. Resist! Keep going! Victory will be ours.
Right now, we in Haiti are living through tough times, as fascism has our campuses in its cross-hairs. Some penniless students are co-opted and turned into strong-arm agents of the system. We keep our struggle going, nevertheless; there are strikes which create an alliance of teachers and students. When weapons no longer scare us, we will be closer to victory.
We are, in all regions, a single class, in battle against a barbarous
system. Faced with this situation, we must carry on the class struggle; and, as an exploited and oppressed class, we will not stop along the way until we win the final victory. Comrades, you are not alone; if not for the bosses’ borders we too would be on the front lines at CUNY. One day, we will all be together everywhere in our world.Every struggle is a victory and every victory counts: forward march! You are not alone, comrades.  
Comrades from Haiti united in struggle,
