Statement of the Worker Communist Party of Iraq
THE COLLAPSE OF THE FASCIST BA'ATH REGIME
__________________________________________________ __________________
With the entry of American and British troops into the centre of
Baghdad,
the fascist Ba'ath regime has uttered it last words. Now, the Iraqi
regime
has been ousted; a major obstacle has been eliminated but the result is
a
gloomy future for the people in Iraq. The collapse of this barbaric
regime
has not been the outcome of the struggle of the people, but an outcome
of
US missiles and bombs, the most barbaric massacre whose victims are
thousands of innocent children, elderly, women and men. Millions have
been
displaced and have held their breath for weeks due to the devastating
and
ghastly horror. The collapse has occurred at the expense of the
destruction
of the infrastructure of society and its economic pillars and is edging
it
towards chaos and insecurity. Such an outcome will not achieve the
people's
expectations.
The USA is not the 'liberator' of the people of Iraq. It is not their
'saviour'. The collapse of the Ba'ath regime is the result of a
reactionary
war waged by America to impose its hegemony on the world. This collapse
can
not be considered a victory for the people of Iraq. The USA and its
allies
propped up Saddam Hussein's regime vis-à-vis communism and workers,
freedom
and equality, left and radicalism, and the efforts for a better life
during
the Cold War era. They backed him and strengthened his repressive
institutions. They trained his criminal gangs. They disregarded his
crimes,
genocide and bloodbaths. They aligned themselves with the regime
against
the struggle of the people in Iraq for liberation and equality. They
helped
maintain to even longer by imposing economic sanctions on the people in
Iraq. The USA is responsible for the death of more than a million
people in
Iraq due to the oppressive sanctions. Getting rid of the USA, its
ominous
role, and its plans and projects are an obvious goal declared by the
people
in Iraq and all over the world.
The USA seeks to impose a military interim government to rule Iraq and
openly denies the people's right of determining their political destiny
and
political rule. It does not refrain from supporting nationalist,
religious,
tribal and sectarian militias and groups, ex-hirelings of the fascist
Ba'ath regime and its ex-generals such as Al Khazrajy, Al Samerrae and
Al
Jobory and nominates them for the future government in Iraq,
disregarding
the people's opinions and against their will. The USA wants to hand
over
the responsibility of ruling Basra and Amara to sheikhs that society
has
swept away decades ago. The government the Pentagon is after is not the
representative of the people in Iraq just as the Ba'ath regime wasn't.
It
enjoys no legitimacy and must unconditionally and immediately withdraw.
The Worker Communist Party of Iraq seeks to build a socialist republic
by
establishing the authority of people's councils and calls on the people
to
organise in councils and take the initiative. At the same time, the
WCPI
demands that USA and British troops withdraw immediately from Iraq and
that
the UN is held responsible for the security of Iraqi cities, the safety
of
civilians and ensuring free political circumstances that will give the
people in Iraq the opportunity to determine their own political rule.
The
WCPI calls on all people all over the world, namely the millions that
have
taken to the streets against the war on Iraq, to defend the banner of
the
Party, support the people's demands to establish a just, free and equal
society. The priority must be the right of the Iraqi people to choose *their
political alternative freely.
