On the Violent Conflict within the Bourgeoisie of Ecuador

Once again the country is dragged into a state of shock as a result of the existing contradictions between the comprador and bureaucratic bourgeoisie.

These  intra-bourgeois contradictions, which have inevitably taken a violent character, do not reflect true class antagonisms, but the struggle for political and administrative control of the Old State.

The events occurring yesterday, particularly in the capital and the Republic, manifested in the police uprising against the regime, laid bare some important aspects that we must analyze in order to take a clear class position:

• The class character that the repressive state apparatus always has depends on their tendency to serve the interests of the big bourgeoisie in either its bureaucratic or comprador form.

• These events have shown the criminal nature of the National Police and revealed their true repressive, murderous and arrogant essence.

• The arrogance of Correa’s fascist regime that uses all these events to try to “legitimize” to the masses its misnamed “citizens’ revolution.”

• The open role of revisionism that is carried out by the opportunistic left of the revisionist PCE and the MPD, raising false flags of Communism, to come out in support of the “established order” and bourgeois democracy, and attempt to drag the masses into an intra-bourgeois conflict.

• Furthering the “manipulation” of the Police by elements representing the comprador faction of the bourgeoisie, with serious intent to carry out a coup, the scene reveals the imperialist plan to consolidate its control in the country.

What lessons can we draw from these events?:

• That the portrayal of the armed forces and repressive apparatuses as having a democratic and progressive spirit on the political scene is false. That their role is to sustain at all costs the class nature of the state and today’s system of government.  One of the tasks of the New Democratic Revolution is inflicting a total and decisive defeat on all this apparatus of repression on which bourgeois and feudal land-owning power rests.

• That,  further,  the rebellious police ranks (not due to popular discontent, but because they serve as the bourgeois and landowning repressive apparatus) have been used by the most reactionary sectors of the bourgeoisie from Ecuador, and were neutralized by a regime that absolutely does not tolerate any disturbance that limits or constrains the process of corporatization of society. Its fascist character is evident, clear and imperative, and does not tolerate anything that is not included in its strategic plan.

• That the proletariat and its allies must not take sides in bourgeois conflicts, but on the contrary, denounce their class interests and expose the role that revisionism promotes to align with bourgeois reformism.

• That the communists are fighting against imperialism, the bourgeoisie and its repressive apparatus daily, and are struggling to defeat revisionism–to destroy its control  and its influence from the people’s organization and struggles.

“WITHOUT STATE POWER, ALL IS ILLUSION”!

UNMASK AND FIGHT THE FASCIST REGIME ALIANZA PAIS
VIVA EL MARXISM LENINISM MAOISM
DEATH TO REVISIONISM

VIOLENTO CONFLICTO INTER-BURGUÉS

Una vez más el país es arrastrado a vivir un estado de conmoción producto de las contradicciones existentes entre la burguesía compradora y la burguesía burocrática.

Estas contradicciones inter burguesas que más allá del carácter violento que eventualmente toman no reflejan en verdad antagonismos de clase, sino la lucha por el control político y administrativo del Viejo Estado.

Los acontecimientos sucitados el día de ayer particularmente en la capital e la República manifiestos en el levantamiento policial contra el régimen desnudan algunos aspectos de importancia que debemos considerar no solo parta el análisis sino para asumir correcta posición de clase:

El carácter de clase que tienen los aparatos represivos del Estado, siempre y dependiendo de su tendencia responden a los intereses de la Gran Burguesía ya sea a su expresión burocrática o compradora. La naturaleza criminal, particularmente en esta oportunidad, de la Policía Nacional que desnuda su verdadera esencia represiva, sanguinaria y prepotente. La arrogancia del régimen fascista de Correa que utiliza todos estos acontecimientos para tratar de “legitimar” ante las masas la mal llamada “revolución ciudadana”. El irrestricto papel que cumple el revisionismo de la izquierda oportunista del PCE revisionista y del MPD que levantando falsas banderas del Comunismo salieron a respaldar el “orden constituido” y la democracia burguesa pretendiendo arrastrar a las masas a un conflicto inter burgués. Más allá de la “manipulación” a la Policía por parte de elementos que representan a la facción compradora de la burguesía con serios intencionamientos golpistas, el escenario refleja la puja inter imperialista por consolidar posiciones en el país.

¿Qué lecciones sacamos de estos acontecimientos?:
