In Israel “there is a bourgeoisie and a proletariat”. In the Arab countries “there is a bourgeoisie and a proletariat”. The Arab and Israeli workers must unite in order to prevent war and to transform it into revolution, and not let themselves be sent to slaughter by their ruling classes hand in hand with imperialism. In June 1967, at the outbreak of the Six-Day War, this was the class criterion, foundation of the revolutionary strategy.
Since then, wage earners in the North African and Middle Eastern area have increased from 20 to 120 million, reaching two-thirds of the working population, with a quarter belonging to the industrial proletariat. One can catch a glimpse of the strength that such a broad class alignment could express, if organised and oriented by a revolutionary strategy.
In these decades, this same progress of capitalist development has pushed tens of millions of migrants from the southern shore of the Mediterranean into the Old Continent’s big cities. With the entrenchment in Europe of the second and third generations of migrant youth, this process may prove to be an opportunity for our internationalist battle.
We do not know what wars of the crisis in the world order will shake the next decade, nor to what extent. What is certain is that very many young people and very many proletarians, in Europe, in the Middle East and in the world, will find themselves facing fundamental questions regarding the barbaric future which this society promises new generations.
This is the practical way: entrenching Leninism in Europe and throughout Europe, among European young people and proletarians as well as among those of every origin. Is this a narrow path? Take a look at what is believed to be the broad way, the highway of bourgeois rule, that of nationalism or of the share-outs of imperialism: that is a dead end paved with millions of victims, and promising further millions the same future.
