What role does 8 March 2024 play today in a world of genocide

and

what is the task of the Communist Women's International (Stalinist-Hoxhaists) ?

The proletarian women know that the extension of the rule of Russian hereditary tsarism would mean the worst slavery for Ukraine and other threatened countries. But they are also fully aware that European imperialism does not protect democracy and the freedom of peoples. Imperialism means genocide, whether against the Western or the Eastern peoples. The profit- and laurel-loving warmongers and warmongers on both sides of the war front are trying to deceive the peoples about this simple truth: the mutual slaughter of peoples for the sake of profit. The propertied and powerful also solemnly swear to hate the appalling barbarity of the war in Ukraine. Yes, they too tremble before its hellish horrors. And yet they are unceasingly intent on continuing the war with ever greater brutality. But the force with which the proletarian women oppose the world war fury will be a battle won in their struggle for liberation. The revolutionary energy and passion of the revolutionary women will expose them to persecution, will bring them dangers and impose sacrifices. So what? There are moments in a woman's life today when she can only win everything if she gives her all.

One such moment is today, 8 March 2024. Proletarian women, be ready!

The war in Ukraine serves neither the defence of the Ukrainian people, nor the defence of the peoples of Europe, but serves the world domination of the monopolies without exception. Both the Western and the Eastern camps of world imperialism must be smashed. The one camp must not survive the other camp, but must perish together with the other camp, otherwise there will be no peace.

With the unleashing of the war in Ukraine and now also in Gaza, the social and political conditions in Europe have changed radically (state of war = so-called "turning point").

With the new wars, new class fronts are crystallising.

While social democracy still played the modest role of a "squire" of imperialism in the First World War, it is taking on a leading, war-driving, fascist role in the current war in Ukraine as well as in the war against the Palestinians.

The women who are taking to the streets today against the war are being defamed by the state-controlled media, suppressed and persecuted by the military authorities.

Proletarian women are branded as "agents of the enemy" in their own country as soon as they demonstrate against the warmongers in their own country.

The imperialist war in Europe is propagated as a European "war of defence", in essence no different from the so-called "defence of the fatherland" in the First World War.

Today it is a matter of rousing the working class in the countries involved for the struggle against genocide, against the war-loving world imperialism, against the mutual slaughter of peoples, against the bombing of people's homes and social institutions, against the obliteration of entire cities.

Our solidarity today is with the women and children who are fleeing the war, who are enduring so much hardship and suffering and who are showing such great heroism in doing so.

And our solidarity goes to the Russian mothers who have to mourn their sons in the Ukraine war, mothers who fearlessly stand up to Putin.

Women and mothers show solidarity with the women and mothers in the enemy camp and form a common front both against the warmongers in their own country and in the enemy country.

May the proletarian women of all warring countries unite in solidarity with the proletarian men to form a common anti-imperialist war front in order to enforce peace through a common revolutionary struggle.

In the imperialist war there can be no truce with one's own bourgeoisie, but the struggle for peace must be combined with the overthrow of the war-mongering capitalist class through the armed socialist revolution and with the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
