The American Party of Labor attended the XXVII Plenary of the International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations in the Dominican Republic, and signed its final declaration, presented below.

We know the right will continue to attack the rights of working people, and it falls on us to no longer settle for reformist diversions, and fight for a world in which every person has total control of their destiny.

On May Day, we shed the Reaganite mythos of the corrupt, criminal, and impotent union, and stand proudly beside our union brothers and sisters. We unearth the history of American Communists, civil rights leaders, suffragettes, radical musicians, poets, painters, and writers, who have been thrown in the dustbin of history by triumphalist capitalist historical narratives, or gentrified by the liberal establishment. We march together, across the wide spectrum of left ideologies, arm in arm, if only for the day.

The American Party of Labor firmly and emphatically rejects the war moves of both Biden and Putin. We are not deceived by Biden’s hypocrisy and sanctimony. Neither are we taken in by Putin’s chauvinistic claims the Ukraine is “historically Russian land.”

This new year, let’s continue to organize with like-minded forces for peace and democracy, and build an internationalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-fascist working class alternative across the country, in our hometowns.

The American Party of Labor stresses the importance of solidarity and unity of all strata of the working class, building towards a mass movement which alone can resolve the crises of capitalism.

The American Party of Labor, alongside all progressive forces in the United States, condemns the outrageous acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse for the murder of two people and the wounding of another fighting for justice in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The entire nation saw the open miscarriage of justice conducted by the Wisconsin courts, and the obvious bias of judge Bruce Schroeder, the face of calcified racist American “justice.”

Until this system is destroyed, however, it falls on us to let our discontent be known to the monsters who decide our law. It falls on us to show the world our anger in the face of these bills, and even the reality that they would be considered. It falls on us to dismantle this system, because as it stands, those who control it now would see you or the queer folk in your community that you love be husks of their true selves.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we think about our personal health and safety. Research articles into the acute effects of COVID-19 are coming out every month, and new investigatory focus has largely shifted to the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection. However, a large gap in the literature remains: impact of COVID-19 infection on pregnant people

The Afghan people are facing an ultra-reactionary confessional government; the fight for the rights of the workers, women and children is a fundamental demand; despite the fact that the Taliban say they will respect the rights of the population, particularly women, facts have already shown otherwise. The struggle of this people to achieve social and national emancipation today has bread, freedom and democracy as important banners of struggle.

An internationalist, anti-imperialist socialist movement in the US cannot be built by upholding social imperialism and theological oppression.

On the 76th anniversary of the bombing of #Hiroshima, we continue to condemn the US use of nuclear weapons on civilians to ward off "the spread of communism" with the Soviet entry into the war.

A new period of the rise in the struggle of workers, youth and peoples is taking place in Latin America and the Caribbean. These are battles that express the dissatisfaction with the living conditions imposed by the capitalist-imperialist system; they are struggles against a series of accumulated socio-economic problems, which are growing as the policies of the governments are implemented, which do nothing but guarantee and raise the rates of profit obtained by the ruling classes, at the cost of greater levels of exploitation and oppression of the working masses and peoples.

But our duty is clear. We are in the belly of the beast and hold a great responsibility because of it. We have continued to stand and grow and we will continue to do so. Not simply for our sakes but for those of the world who are ground under the boot US imperialism.

The first 100 days have shown us what a Biden presidency will look like—abandoned promises, and the continuing separation of American political life from the desires of working people.

The ICMLPO, while strongly condemning the war on the Palestinian people, is addressing the world’s working class, its parties and mass organizations, all peoples of the world to rise up against Zionist barbarism and demand an immediate end of this war and express your support for their just cause.

We denounce that the most reactionary sectors of the Colombian State: Uribe, Duque, the heads of the military and police forces look at social protest and its actors as war actions, as events that seek to “destabilize power and put an end to democracy”, under that logic they have responded with viciousness and hatred to the demands of the people. The forces of law and order are in a state of war against the people, which we repudiate and call for its condemnation throughout the world.

Members of the American Party of Labor wrote to the Red Phoenix to tell us what May Day means to them, in the belly of the imperialist beast.

On May Day, we shed the Reaganite mythos of the corrupt, criminal, and impotent union, and stand proudly beside our union brothers and sisters. We unearth the history of American Communists, civil rights leaders, suffragettes, radical musicians, poets, painters, and writers, who have been thrown in the dustbin of history by triumphalist capitalist historical narratives, or gentrified by the liberal establishment. We march together, across the wide spectrum of left ideologies, arm in arm, if only for the day.

Wherever resistance movements struggle against imperialism, wherever communities buckle under the weight of police violence and gentrification, wherever a democrat tells the people to wait for educations, jobs, and housing, and wherever a social democrat claims a cop can lead a revolution, we say emphatically: Lenin lived, Lenin lives, Lenin will live.
