Since the opening of the new world crisis in 2007 Brazil experienced a big hit to its economic growth shared by all the other BRICS except China and Russia which are rising imperialist powers and making the other BRICS semi-colonies. Facing the crisis the workers began to fight against paying for the crisis with loss of their wages and mass sackings. A<\/em>ll workers began to see the need for unity, but how would that happen? <\/em>Fearing that workers would unite from below, the reformist and centrist left parties and left bureaucrats in the unions met the new militancy and the demand for unity with a strategy of containment, the \u201ctactical unity of action\u201d which means unity with the ruling bureaucracy. But they did not expect that a mass movement would rise up against the World Cup, at the very heart of the plan of the imperialists and Workers\u2019 Party (PT) popular front regime to make the Brazilian workers and peasants pay for the global capitalist crisis!<\/em><\/p>\n
The bureaucrats try to trap workers into the popular front “Tactical unity of action”<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"don't<\/a><\/p>\n
The PSOL (Party of Socialism and Liberation) has long demonstrated their capitulation to the popular front government with their unity with the ruling bureaucracy in the unions and bourgeois parties in the elections. The PSTU (United Socialist Workers Party) unity with the ruling bureaucracy began 6 years ago in the teachers union of Rio Grande do Sul, through the \u201cTactical Unity of Action\u201d strategy of containment. It was implemented in several union elections across the country. The experiences of this tactic are showing that it serves to strengthen the bureaucracy and promotes the PSTU version of the popular front government.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The PSTU went further with the “Tactical unity of action” with the ruling bureaucracy and extended this tactic for a national front in the unions, the “space of unity of action” (“espa\u00e7o de unidade de a\u00e7\u00e3o”). This national popular front was formed 2 years ago and has won support in several workshops and meetings, including that which raised the demand against the cup “In the Cup, we will be fighting” (“Na copa, vai te Luta”). The leadership of PSTU argued that this tactic was important to unite the left. Despite the name, this is not unity for a specific action, but rather an organized popular front where the groups shared a common program of reforms tying workers to the CUT and PT.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Marxist \u2018left\u2019 in Brazil, as everywhere, remains very fragmented, but they see no problem in uniting behind the flags of CUT (Federation of Workers Unions). For example, in education, while the government applied its privatisation plan, the PNE (The National Education Plan), teachers were striking in almost every state of the country and taking the fight nationwide was a need perceived by all. But the bureaucracy failed to call for the unification of strikes. The CUT ended up calling a strike for the PNE, so the workers were trapped again the \u201ctactical unity of action\u201d sponsored by the left of the popular front.<\/p>\n
As the class struggle intensified over this period, the more did the treacherous left bureaucracy try to trap it in the popular front behind the CUT and the PT. This tactic begun by the PSTU in the union movement, eventually led to an electoral front with the ruling party, Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) in bourgeois elections in 2012 in the city of Belem. Now the MES-PSOL (Movimento esquerda socialista) has joined the left union federation CSP CONLUTAS to promote the “space for unity of action.”<\/p>\n
The World Cup: a plan by imperialism and the national bourgeoisie to make the workers pay for the crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"FIFA_go_to_hell\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The world cup brought the class struggle to a head. The Cup has deepened the class contradictions in Brazil as the bosses use the Cup to violently resolve the crisis by pouring investments into here-today-gone-tomorrow infrastructure jobs for some while smashing down working class resistance to attacks on their neighborhoods, their basic rights and their lives.<\/p>\n
No organization could bring itself to fight for the slogan of the masses as the main slogan of the movement in action. The UIT\u2013(PSOL\/CST) (Unidade Internacional de losTrabajadores) supports a general strike to stop the cup, \u201cNao vai ter copa\u201d (We will not have the Cup), but from inside the \u201cspace for unity of action\u201d where it is on the extreme left of the popular front. Most of the left bureaucracy raised the slogan “In the cup, we will be fighting” against the masses demand “We will not have the cup”.<\/p>\n
This proves that the masses are far ahead of the left bureaucrats who now struggle to contain the uprising. It affirms that fighting \u201cin the cup\u201d means aimless activity that leaves workers with no concrete tasks. It means defeat for workers when the World Cup expresses all that is rotten and destructive about capitalism in crisis. But the fight to stop the cup is already happening and the whole class is demonstrating its support for this demand. Our task is to raise this slogan and to make it politically profound.<\/p>\n
Fighting the World Cup is part of the global workers uprising against paying for the bosses\u2019 crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"FIFA<\/a><\/p>\n
Joining in the world uprisings in the new period of crisis, the mass movement appeared against the World Cup in Brazil last June. \u00a0Before it, there were some signs of the transitional situation: \u00a0teacher, construction workers strikes all over the country, port, oil workers\u2019 strike, homeless struggle, the Rio de Janeiro firefighters\u2019 uprising, etc. In early 2013, the youth movement against rising fares for public transportation grew into the \u201cCopa das confederacoes\u201d (FIFA confederations cup) which saw a big surge of street demonstrations. The social media was the key to building the demonstrations. The uprising was a surprise to everybody, and nobody was prepared for it. \u00a0The slogan \u201cNao vai ter copa\u201d came spontaneously from the mass movement. No organization gave the slogan to the movement.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
After the national demonstration on June 20th came a call for a General strike on July 1st<\/sup>. The union bureaucracy quickly united to say that this general strike was called by the \u201cright\u201d and \u201cfascists\u201d and only they could call a general strike. The central unions, CSP Conlutas (controlled by the PSTU) and Intersindical (controlled by PSOL) \u201cunited in action\u201d with CUT (controlled by the government\/PT), and other unions linked to the employers and the bourgeois (FS, UGT, Nova central, etc), boycotted the general strike, calling for a \u201cNational day of struggle\u201d on July 11th<\/sup>. The general strike on July 1st<\/sup> didn\u2019t happen. But on the 11th<\/sup>, the masses left the bureaucracy alone to stage its fake manifestations and made a general strike. Rio Grande do Sul was completely stopped. Many cities in the country stopped. After the June uprising the movement just grew. Homeless, youth, poor people from \u201cfavelas\u201d, proletariat, teachers, and bus drivers began strikes. The strikes of Rio de Janeiro teachers and street-sweepers, and Porto Alegre bus drivers proved to Brazilian workers that<\/em> the main gains have been won against the policies of the union bureaucracy.<\/em><\/p>\n
\"Brazil-workers-strike1\"<\/a><\/p>\n
\u00a0In the month before the World Cup we are experiencing a wave of strikes and the \u201cNao vai ter copa\u201d movement is growing<\/strong><\/p>\n
For the popular movement, which is taking the lead in most protests, the slogan “there will be no cup” reflects the needs of the people who are losing their homes and being suppressed because of the Cup. For the labor movement there is rising indignation and anger as the R$billions spent on the World Cup go into the pockets of the rich while toilers conditions of life and work only worsen. The growing mass movement will not be limited to the Cup but will also create a lot of popular protest in the upcoming elections. For example, an organization that emerged in the Rio demonstrations last June (2013), raised the slogan, “there will be no cup or election!”<\/p>\n
The left bureaucracy is forced to join the “there will be no Cup” movement, proposing instead of the masses agitation, slogans that have no tasks for the class and divert the fight away from the Cup. “Cup for who?”, “if we have no rights there will be no Cup”, “in the world cup we will fight”, etc. Such is the pressure from below that the left bureaucracy, in its “space for united action,” will be forced to call a general strike, but they have already shown that they will try to contain it.<\/p>\n
The bureaucracy is already preparing to do so. The CSP Conlutas (PSTU) in \u201cspace for unity in action\u201d with the \u201cleft\u201d of the CUT (CUT Pode Mais) has had a national meeting to discuss the world cup. As we have said, they oppose the masses\u2019 slogan \u201cnao vai ter copa\u201d and call for \u201cNa copa, vai ter luta\u201d (In the world cup, will be fight) to fight against the \u201cinjustices\u201d of the World Cup. They want a clean Cup without attacks on workers and with no corruption! They argue that the masses slogan is too crude. But the slogan came from the masses\u2019 movement and expresses clearly their needs. No organization or program could raise this slogan because it knows it cannot control such a movement inside the popular front. Now it wants to weaken and contain it in a struggle to legislate for reform of the \u2018injustices\u2019 in the next elections!<\/p>\n
\"burning<\/a><\/p>\n
Prepare for a General Strike!<\/strong><\/p>\n
We must raise the masses\u2019 slogan and politicize it. The general strike is the way to unite the workers with the popular movement and the youth. It should be linked to repudiating the national debt and the debt for the Cup. It should be united with the strikes in industry, auto, education, construction, etc. A general strike against the Cup can be the means to unite all the isolated struggles. The general strike is the way to unite the working class on the road to socialist revolution. It makes possible raising transitional demands which will allow workers to unite and organize to expropriate i.e. take back<\/em> capitalist property, expropriated from generations of exploited workers and peasants.<\/p>\n
Within the currents strikes, the general strike is already being debated. The IWU-FI (UIT Unidad internacional de los trabajadores) is the first organization that has called for a general strike. Even the organizations linked with the government have been obligated to adhere to the \u201cnao vai ter copa\u201d movement, like the MST, despite the government having created the \u201cVai ter copa\u201d movement! Only sectarian organizations like PCO (Partido da Causa Opar\u00e1ria) have not adhered to the \u201cnao vai ter copa\u201d movement. Unfortunately, those who call for the current strikes to be united and fight for a general strike do not base this unity on stopping the Cup \u201cnao vai ter copa\u201d but on the reformists\u2019 slogan \u201cin the cup, we will fight,\u201d so they continue to operate in the left bureaucratic \u201cspace for unity of action\u201d and do not break from the popular front.<\/p>\n
This is why isolating the strikes from the movement to stop the Cup serves only the unity of the popular front! For example, the campaign of the CCR (Revolutionary Communist Current) in the teachers union in Sao Paulo calls for all the teachers to unite for a general strike, but ignores the fight against the cup that can extend this unity to the whole working class and make a general strike possible. Already the ranks of all those who are on strike, and there are many, shout “we will not have the cup” and threaten the government. Similarly, the FLTI (International Leninist-Trotskyist Fraction), calling for unity of all struggles, focuses on the auto industry, and ignores the mass movement against the Cup as the key to uniting the whole working class behind a general strike.<\/p>\n
The movement against the Cup is what unites workers to the popular movement and the youth, against the highest expression of the alliance of the popular front government with big business and imperialism \u2013 that is the World Cup! The purpose of the “bureaucratic left” is to divert the masses into aimless “fights” that go nowhere except into the upcoming elections, where they will install their popular front in the unions as a popular front with the government and PT. Revolutionaries have a duty to expose the left wings of the popular front and replace their treacherous leaders with a Party and Program capable of leading the way to socialist revolution!<\/p>\n
Stop the World Cup! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Repudiate the national debt! Repudiate the Cup Debt!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Desde a abertura da nova crise mundial em 2007, o Brasil sofreu um duro golpe no seu crescimento econ\u00f4mico, compartilhado por todos os outros BRICS, menos a China e a R\u00f9ssia, que s\u00e3o pot\u00eancias imperialistas ascendentes, que est\u00e3o transformando os outros BRICS em semicol\u00f4nias. DIante da crise, os trabalhadores come\u00e7am a lutar para n\u00e3o pag\u00e1-la com a perda dos seus sal\u00e1rios e demiss\u00f5es em massa. Todos os trabalhadores come\u00e7am a ver a necessidade da uni\u00e3o, mas como ela vai acontecer? Com medo dos trabalhadores se unirem pela base, os partidos reformistas e centristas e os burocratas de esquerda nos sindicatos lidam com a nova milit\u00e2ncia e a exig\u00eancia de unidade com uma estrat\u00e9gia de conten\u00e7\u00e3o, a “t\u00e1tica de unidade de a\u00e7\u00e3o”, que significa unidade com a burocracia dominante. Mas eles n\u00e3o esperavam que um movimento de massas fosse se levantar contra a Copa do Mundo, no cora\u00e7\u00e3o do plano do imperialismo e do regime de frente popular do PT para fazer os trabalhadores brasileiros pagarem pela crise capitalista global!<\/p>\n
Os burocratas tentam prender os trabalhadores \u00e0 frente popular com a “t\u00e1tica de unidade de a\u00e7\u00e3o”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
O PSOL demonstrou h\u00e1 muito tempo a sua capitula\u00e7\u00e3o ao governo de frente popular, com a sua unidade com a burocracia sindical, e com os partidos burgueses nas elei\u00e7\u00f5es. A unidade do PSTU com a burocracia come\u00e7ou h\u00e1 6 anos atr\u00e1s, no sindicato dos professores do Rio Grande do Sul, atrav\u00e9s da estrat\u00e9gia de conten\u00e7\u00e3o da “t\u00e1tica de unidade de a\u00e7\u00e3o”. Ela foi implementada em v\u00e1rias elei\u00e7\u00f5es sindicais em todo o pa\u00eds. As experi\u00eancias com essa t\u00e1tica est\u00e3o mostrando que ela serve pra fortalecer a burocracia e promover a vers\u00e3o PSTU do governo de frente popular.<\/p>\n
O PSTU foi mais al\u00e9m com a “t\u00e1tica de unidade de a\u00e7\u00e3o” com a burocracia e estendeu essa t\u00e1tica a uma frente nacional nos sindicatos, o Espa\u00e7o de Unidade de A\u00e7\u00e3o. Essa frente popular nacional foi formada h\u00e1 2 anos atr\u00e1s, e ganhou apoio em v\u00e1rias atividades e encontros, incluindo o que levantou a palavra de ordem contra a Copa, “Na Copa vai ter luta”. A dire\u00e7\u00e3o do PSTU alegou que essa t\u00e1tica era importante para unir a esquerda. Apesar do nome, n\u00e3o se trata de unidade para uma a\u00e7\u00e3o espec\u00edfica, e sim uma frente popular organizada onde os grupos compartilham um programa de reformas comum, prendendo os trabalhadores \u00e0 CUT e ao PT.<\/p>\n
A “esquerda” marxista no Brasil, como em todo lugar, continua muito fragmentada, mas n\u00e3o v\u00ea problema em se unir debaixo das bandeiras da CUT. Por exemplo, na educa\u00e7\u00e3o, enquanto o governo aplicava o seu plano de privatiza\u00e7\u00e3o, o PNE (Plano Nacional de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o), os professores estavam em greve em todos os Estados do pa\u00eds e lutar em escala nacional era uma necessidade reconhecida por todos. Mas a burocracia n\u00e3o chamou a unifica\u00e7\u00e3o das greves. A CUT terminou chamando uma greve a favor do PNE, ent\u00e3o os trabalhadores ficaram presos novamente na “t\u00e1tica de unidade de a\u00e7\u00e3o”, aplicada pela esquerda da frente popular.<\/p>\n
Quanto mais a luta de classes se intensificava no per\u00edodo, mais a burocracia traidora de esquerda tentava prend\u00ea-la \u00e0 frente popular da CUT e do PT. Essa t\u00e1tica, iniciada pelo PSTU no movimento sindical, levou a uma frente eleitoral com o partido governista PCdoB nas elei\u00e7\u00f5es burguesas de 2012, na cidade de Bel\u00e9m. Agora o MES\/PSOL entrou na central sindical CSP-CONLUTAS para promover o Espa\u00e7o de Unidade de A\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n
A Copa do Mundo: um plano do imperialismo e da burguesia nacional para fazer os trabalhadores pagarem pela crise<\/strong><\/p>\n
A Copa levou a luta de classes a um auge. Ela aprofundou as contradi\u00e7\u00f5es de classe no Brasil, j\u00e1 que os patr\u00f5es a usaram para resolver a crise com viol\u00eancia, fazendo investimentos em servi\u00e7os de infraestrutura que n\u00e3o v\u00e3o durar depois dela e, ao mesmo tempo, esmagando a resist\u00eancia da classe trabalhadora ao ataques aos seus bairros, seus direitos b\u00e1sicos e suas vidas.<\/p>\n
Nenhuma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o resolveu adotar a palavra de ordem das massas como eixo de interven\u00e7\u00e3o no movimento. A CST\/PSOL (UIT) defende uma greve geral para parar a Copa, “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa”, mas por dentro do Espa\u00e7o de Unidade de A\u00e7\u00e3o, na extrema esquerda da frente popular. A maioria da burocracia de esquerda levantou a palavra de ordem “Na Copa vai ter luta”, contra as massas que falam “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa”.<\/p>\n
Isso prova que as massas est\u00e3o muito \u00e0 frente dos burocratas de esquerda que lutam agora para conter o ascenso. Afirma que lutar “na Copa” significa atividade sem objetivo que n\u00e3o aponta nenhuma tarefa concreta para os trabalhadores. Significa derrota para os trabalhadores, num momento em que a Copa expressa tudo de podre e destrutivo no capitalismo em crise. Mas a luta para parar a Copa j\u00e1 est\u00e1 acontecendo, e toda a classe est\u00e1 se manifestando por essa reivindica\u00e7\u00e3o. A nossa tarefa \u00e9 levantar essa bandeira e aprofund\u00e1-la politicamente.<\/p>\n
A luta contra a Copa do Mundo \u00e9 parte do ascenso global dos trabalhadores para n\u00e3o pagarem pela crise dos patr\u00f5es<\/strong><\/p>\n
Se somando aos levantes mundiais no novo per\u00edodo de crises, apareceu o movimento de massas contra a Copa do Mundo, em junho passado, no Brasil. Antes, houve sinais de uma situa\u00e7\u00e3o transit\u00f3ria: greves de professores e da constru\u00e7\u00e3o civil em todo o pa\u00eds, greve dos portu\u00e1rios e petroleiros, luta dos sem-tetos, o levante dos bombeiros do Rio de Janeiro etc. No come\u00e7o de 2013, o movimento da juventude contra o aumento das tarifas do transporte p\u00fablico cresceu , at\u00e9 a Copa das Confedera\u00e7\u00f5es, que viu um grande aumento das manifesta\u00e7\u00f5es de rua. As redes sociais foram a chave para construir as manifesta\u00e7\u00f5es. O levante foi uma surpresa para todos, ningu\u00e9m estava preparado. A palavra de ordem “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa” veio espontaneamente do movimento de massas.\u00a0Nenhuma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o prop\u00f4s a palavra de ordem ao movimento.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
Depos da manifesta\u00e7\u00e3o nacional em 20 de julho, veio um chamado \u00e0 Greve Geral em 1\u00b0 de julho. A burocracia sindical rapidamente se unificou para dizer que a greve geral foi chamada pela “direita” e por “fascistas”, e que s\u00f3 ela poderia chamar uma greve geral. As centrais sindicais, CSP Conlutas (controlada pelo PSTU) e Intersindical (controlada pelo PSOL) fizeram “unidade de a\u00e7\u00e3o” com a CUT (controlada pelo governo\/PT), e com outras centrais patronais e burguesas (FS, UGT, Nova central etc), e boicotaram a greve geral, chamando um “Dia Nacional de Luta” em 11 de julho. A greve geral de 1\u00b0 de julho n\u00e3o aconteceu. Mas, no dia 11, as massas deixaram a burocracia sozinha fazendo as suas falsas manifesta\u00e7\u00f5es, e fizeram uma greve geral. O Rio Grande do Sul parou completamente. Muitas cidades do pa\u00eds pararam. Depois do levante de junho, o movimento sempre cresceu. Sem-tetos, jovens, moradores das favelas, o proletariado, os professores e os motoristas de \u00f4nibus come\u00e7aram greves. As greves dos professores e garis do Rio de Janeiro e dos motoristas de \u00f4nibus de Porto Alegre provaram aos trabalhadores brasileiros que as maiores conquistas foram ganhas contra a pol\u00edtica da burocracia sindical.<\/p>\n
No m\u00eas anterior \u00e0 Copa do Mundo, estamos vivendo uma onda de greves, e o movimento “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa” est\u00e1 crescendo<\/strong><\/p>\n
Para o movimento popular, que est\u00e1 \u00e0 frente da maioria dos protestos, a palavra de ordem “n\u00e3o vai ter\u00a0\u00a0Copa” reflete as necessidades das pessoas que est\u00e3o perdendo suas casas e sendo exclu\u00eddos por causa da Copa. Para o movimento oper\u00e1rio, h\u00e1 indigna\u00e7\u00e3o e raiva crescentes porque os bilh\u00f5es de reais gastos na Copa do Mundo v\u00e3o para os bolsos dos ricos, enquanto as condi\u00e7\u00f5es de vida e trabalho s\u00f3 pioram. O movimento de massas crescente n\u00e3o vai se limitar \u00e0 Copa, mas tamb\u00e9m vai criar muito protesto popular nas pr\u00f3ximas elei\u00e7\u00f5es. Por exemplo, jovens radicalizados como a FIP, que surgiu nas manifesta\u00e7\u00f5es do Rio de Janeiro em junho passado, levantaram a bandeira, “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa nem elei\u00e7\u00e3o!”<\/p>\n
A burocracia de esquerda \u00e9 obrigada a aderir ao “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa”, propondo, em vez da agita\u00e7\u00e3o das massas, palavras de ordem que desviam a luta contra a Copa. “Copa pra quem?”, “Se n\u00e3o tiver direitos, n\u00e3o vai ter Copa”, “Na Copa vai ter luta” etc. \u00c9 tanta a press\u00e3o vinda de baixo que a burocracia de esquerda, no seu Espa\u00e7o de Unidade de A\u00e7\u00e3o, ser\u00e1 for\u00e7ada a chamar uma greve geral, mas j\u00e1 mostrou que vai tentar cont\u00ea-la.<\/p>\n
A burocracia j\u00e1 est\u00e1 se preparando para isso. A CSP Conlutas (PSTU), no Espa\u00e7o de Unidade de A\u00e7\u00e3o com a “esquerda” da CUT (CUT Pode Mais) fez um encontro nacional para discutir a copa. Como dissemos, eles s\u00e3o contra a palavra de ordem das massas, “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa’, e chamam por “Na Copa vai ter luta”, para lutar contra as “injusti\u00e7as” da Copa. Eles querem uma Copa limpa sem ataques aos trabalhadores e sem corrup\u00e7\u00e3o! Eles alegam que a palavra de ordem das massas \u00e9 muito radical. Mas ela veio do movimento de massas e expressa claramente as suas necessidades. Nenhuma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o ou programa p\u00f4de levantar essa palavra de ordem, porque sabem que n\u00e3o podem controlar um movimento assim dentro da frente popular. Agora, querem enfraquecer e conter as lutas para legislarem para reformar as “injusti\u00e7as” nas pr\u00f3ximas elei\u00e7\u00f5es!<\/p>\n
Preparar a Greve Geral!<\/strong><\/p>\n
Temos que levantar a palavra de ordem das massas e politiz\u00e1-la. A greve geral \u00e9 o caminho para unir os trabalhadores com o movimento popular e a juventude. Ela deve ser ligada ao n\u00e3o pagamento da d\u00edvida externa e da d\u00edvida da Copa. Ela deve se unir com as greves nas ind\u00fastrias, setor automobil\u00edstico, educa\u00e7\u00e3o, constru\u00e7\u00e3o etc. Uma greve geral contra a Copa pode ser o meio para unir todas as lutas isoladas. A greve geral \u00e9 o caminho para unir a classe trabalhadora no caminho para a revolu\u00e7\u00e3o socialista. Ela torna poss\u00edvel levantar reivindica\u00e7\u00f5es que v\u00e3o permitir que os trabalhadores se unam e se organizem para expropriar, ou seja, tomar de volta, a propriedade capitalista, expropriada de gera\u00e7\u00f5es de trabalhadores e camponeses explorados.<\/p>\n
Nas greves atuais j\u00e1 se debate a greve geral. A UIT-QI foi a primeira organiza\u00e7\u00e3o a chamar a greve geral. At\u00e9 as organiza\u00e7\u00f5es ligadas ao governo foram obrigadas a aderir ao movimento “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa”, como o MST, apesar do governo ter criado o movimento “Vai ter Copa!” Somente organiza\u00e7\u00f5es centristas como o PCO, que cobrem o PT pela esquerda, n\u00e3o aderiram ao movimento “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa”. Infelizmente, os que chamam a unifica\u00e7\u00e3o das greves atuais e lutam por uma greve geral n\u00e3o baseiam essa unidade em parar a Copa, e sim na palavra de ordem reformista “Na Copa vai ter luta”, para continuarem assim a operar dentro do Espa\u00e7o de Unidade de A\u00e7\u00e3o da burocracia de esquerda, e n\u00e3o romperem com a frente popular.<\/p>\n
\u00c9 por isso que isolar as greves do movimento para parar a Copa s\u00f3 ajuda a uni\u00e3o da frente popular! Por exemplo, a campanha da CCR (Corrente Comunista Revolucion\u00e1ria) na APEOESP chama todos os professores a se unirem numa greve geral, mas ignora a luta contra a Copa, que pode estender essa unidade a toda a classe trabalhadora e tornar poss\u00edvel uma greve geral. J\u00e1 se ouvem nas fileiras dos que est\u00e3o em greve, e s\u00e3o muitos, gritos de “N\u00e3o vai ter Copa!” e amea\u00e7as ao governo. Da mesma forma, a FLTI (Fra\u00e7\u00e3o Leninista-Trotskista Internacional), chamando a unidade de todas as lutas, se foca na ind\u00fastria automobil\u00edstica, e ignora o movimento de massas contra a Copa, que \u00e9 a chave para unir toda a classe trabalhadora em uma greve geral.<\/p>\n
O movimento contra a Copa \u00e9 o que une os trabalhadores ao movimento popular e \u00e0 juventude, contra a maior express\u00e3o da alian\u00e7a do governo de frente popular com as grandes empresas e o imperialismo – a Copa do Mundo! O objetivo da “esquerda burocr\u00e1tica” \u00e9 desviar as massas para “lutas” sem sentido que n\u00e3o v\u00e3o a lugar nenhum a n\u00e3o ser as pr\u00f3ximas elei\u00e7\u00f5es, onde ela vai instalar a sua frente popular nos sindicatos como uma frente popular com o governo e o PT. Os revolucion\u00e1rios t\u00eam o dever de expor as alas esquerdas da frente popular e substituir os seus dirigentes traidores por um partido e um programa capazes de abrir caminho para a revolu\u00e7\u00e3o socialista!<\/p>\n
