“Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism”- Lenin
We present the invitation letter by Revolutionary Youth Europe to Anti-Imperialist Youth Symposium co-organized by Revolutionary Youth Europe and Anti-Imperialist Struggle Committee. We welcome their struggle in our city!
“Imperialism is decaying capitalism.
As it rots and dies, it rots not only itself as a system, but also us. It corrupts us by depriving us of our values, removing the traits that make us human, and replacing it with a culture that expresses rottenness.
Imperialism is a mandatory, inevitable stage in the history of societies. But it’s not absolute, it’s not infinite. It is the second and final stage of capitalism.
In the imperialist order, socialism, that is, a fairer and more livable society is waiting to be born. Imperialism is constantly in crisis. It resorts to all kinds of pressure and violence to overcome these crises and maintain its order. By increasing racism and fascism, it pulls the people’s agenda from the crises of the order, and creates artificial contradictions among the oppressed.
Imperialism deepens as much as possible the pre-existing contradictions of capitalism and leads to much more intensive exploitation and impoverishment of the working classes. This leads to the sharpening of class contradictions and the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the exploited working classes.
Contradictions prepare the objective conditions of revolutions by bringing with them the deepening of the crisis of imperialism and the growth of each country’s own national crisis.
Imperialism has to create consent with its own order in order to extend its life. He does this by taking over the brains.
Imperialism wants to take over our brains through film, TV, media, education system, drugs, prostitution and many other methods and tools.
The biggest obstacle to this attack is the YOUTH itself.
Youth is the future. Whoever owns the youth, the future is his!
The Youth with its dynamics, enterprise and openness to innovation, it is the engine in the struggle for revolution. Knowing this, imperialism and fascism always surround youth.
The one who organizes youth wins the future. Imperialism also wants to win youth over itself. He wants to create a youth that doesn’t think, doesn’t question, is selfish, individualistic and manipulative. He wants to create a generation that serves his order, extends his life.
Imperialism has declared an endless war on the peoples of the world.
And in this sense, he is the arch enemy of the peoples of the world.
Imperialism means war, blood means poverty and hunger.
To oppose injustice, exploitation and persecution, racism and fascism requires opposition to imperialism.
That’s why we, as Revolutionary youth europe says; WE WILL NOT BE VICTIMS OF IMPERIALISM, WE WILL BE THE GRAVEDIGGERS!
In this sense, we invite you to the ANTI-IMPERIALIST YOUTH SYMPOSIUM to jointly strengthen the struggle against imperialism and create an anti-imperialist front. We will organize the symposium on May 21st and 22nd in Berlin. (Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin)
