The
struggle in Mexico against electoral fraud is developing into a revolutionary
situation and its most advanced point is in the state of Oaxaca. The Marxist
Tendency "Militante", part of the International Marxist Tendency, has
been involved in these struggles from the very beginning and is now one of a
number of organisations being targeted for repression by the state. Urgent
international solidarity is needed.
Yesterday we highlighted the revolutionary
developments in Oaxaca.
There the mass movement has thrown up the Popular Assembly of the People of
Oaxaca (APPO), an organ of workers’ power. The dilemma is now posed of how this
much more advanced expression of revolutionary struggle should relate to the
National Democratic Convention (CND) - participate and push the latter forward
or stay out and remain isolated?
Weeks after the Mexican elections the mass
movement against electoral fraud is giving no sign of receding. On the
contrary, it is spreading and becoming stronger with each passing day. The
situation in Oaxaca
is of revolutionary proportions. The workers and peasants could actually take
power. Revolution has reached the very borders of the most powerful capitalist
country in the world, the USA.
