France: Brief Statement on the Attacks in Paris

Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT), 8.1.2015,
www.thecommunists.net

The Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT) calls on
socialists not to give any support to the pro-imperialist mobilizations
organized by the French government, the EU bosses and the bourgeois
media.

We oppose the attacks on the journal Charlie Hebdo as
counter-productive, since they offer the ruling classes in France and
the EU a pretext for the militarization of the society and an
intensification of their imperialist wars and the oppression of
migrants.

We say that the main enemy is French imperialism which is waging wars in
Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa.

We reject to consider the attacks journal Charlie Hebdo as an attack on
“freedom of expression”. Charlie Hebdo participated – with its
racist and humiliating cartoons against the religious beliefs of Muslims
– as an ideological force in the imperialist war against Muslim
peoples.

The RCIT will publish an elaborated statement in the next 24 hours.

8.1.2015, International Secretariat of the RCIT
