Dear Comrades,
Our new workers party has decided to publish our central newspaper "De
Rode Tribune" (The red platform) bi-weekly. This is a step forward in
building our party.
We are a small organisation but despite this we attract more and more
followers/members.
We started in one center in Rotterdam and surrounding area and we can
now spread our wings nationally.
During the attack on Iraq by the USA nationally we distributed 5.000
leaflets, in which we asked for active resistance against the American
weapons transport which amongst others was passing through the Rotterdam
harbour area. This resulted in a demonstration of 60 workers in front of
the gate of the company where the weapons transport for the USA
imperialists took place.
Also we participate in the Rotterdam May 1 Committee in which about 20
groups and organisations work together. This Committee will demonstrate
on May 1 with the revolutionary slogan "Tegen oorlog, tegen
imperialisme, voor het echte socialisme" (Against war, against
imperialism, for real socialism). This Committee appealed to demonstrate
on May 1 by distributing 30.000 leaflets.
regards,
J. d. L.

Response of the Comintern-ML:
Dear comrade J.d.L.
Dear comrades of the New Workers Party!
Congratulations to your hard working comrades! Your efforts to publish your newspaper weekly is a yard stick for all Marxists-Leninists in all the other countries. We wish furtherhin good success to all of you.
The action of the 60 port workers in Rotterdam demonstrates, that your Party has basically influence in the working class of the Netherlands. Your example shows, that even with little forces you can come to great results, if the Party knows how to reflect the mood and interest of the proletariat.
This action demonstrates that the working class is not only marching on peace-demonstrations but to practice solidarity with the Iraqi people by protesting against the weapon transports of the US-imperialists concretely. In the same time Italian port workers demonstrated with same actions against weapon transports.
Comrades, with your example you contributed proletarian internationalism in deeds and helped to realize the slogan of Marx and Engels: Proletarians of all countries - unite! - unite against the weapon transports of the US-imperialists!
Comrades, with your initiative, you proved to be a true Section of the Comintern-ML, who appealled to cut the imperialist weapon-transports all over the world. The Comintern-ML tried to strengthen with these actions the connection of the struggle of the worldproletariat together with the struggle of the liberation of the oppressed people to unite against Worldimperialism with the USA at the top.
Comrades, this is a little part of pushing forward the process of world-revolution! This is the right direction to continue with your struggle of your Party.
With this the Comintern-ML likes to thank you in the name of the worldproletariat and in the name of the Iraqi people vicariously for all peoples who have to suffer under the foreign imperialist troops in their homeland.
Comrades of the New Workers Party!
The comrades all over the world support your slogan Down with the war! Down with imperialism! Long live the revolution for real socialism in the Netherlands!
Long live the 1st of May - the day of the international working class!
Long live the New Workers Party of the netherlands (Marxists-Leninists)!
