The recent use of hijacked aircraft in an attack on US buildings involving the
destruction of two of the tallest buildings in the world and damage to the
Pentagon has had a serious political impact on the global situation.
The fact that such a coordinated operation, despite the loss of thousands of
lives, has had such a serious ongoing political impact is a reflection of the
weakness of American imperialism. The fact that the actions of a relatively
small number of  terrorists is followed by a political change on the present
ongoing scale is  evidence of the serious crisis facing global capitalism. It is
evidence too of the increasing obsolescence of capitalism and the existence of
objective conditions, already overripe, for the establishment of communist
relations of production. It is not insignificant that these events and their
serious political impact has been taking place in the context of growing global
capitalist economic slowdown.
The destruction wrought by the terrorist operation, notwithstanding its scale,
is not a cause, by itself, for the significant political changes that are
following from it. The American bourgeoisie is exploiting this terrorist act to
wilfully generate an atmosphere and mood that provides the pretext for the
present kind of political response by US imperialism. It is clear that the
socio-political difficulties facing the US bourgeoisie are on such a scale that
it requires the kind of political conditions it is currently seeking to
construct in the aftermath of this recent terrorist act. American imperialism,
through the medium of its state apparatii and its mass media, has been
relentlessly whipping up hysteria both domestically and globally to provide
itself with the pretext to create changing political conditions that better suit
its class interests. Such changed circumstances gives the US bourgeoisie the
pretext for domestically broadening and intensifying its already aggressive
imperialist actions --actions that have led to this loss of life in Manhattan
and Washington. The fact that it must whip up such hysteria to escalate its
domestic and international aggressiveness is  irrefutable evidence of its fear
of the American and indeed world working class. Because of its class weakness it
is  increasingly unable to freely engage in increasingly aggressively
imperialist action without first having to generate conditions (through the
whipping up of mass hysteria etc.) that fool the US working class into passively
and actively supporting its oppressive policies. However as its present
aggressiveness is broadened and intensified the consciousness of layers of the
US working class will increasingly penetrate the fog of bourgeois mystification
to see the naked predatory nature of US capitalism.
It is the duty of communists to courageously highlight the real source of the
terrorist act that has resulted in so much loss of the lives of American
workers. It is the duty of communists to urge the working class to resist and
challenge the predatory actions of US imperialism against the masses of the
world. This means that  communists, where possible must, organise against the
vast propaganda machinery of the capitalist state that is being used to whip up
hysteria and jingoism. It must, where possible, organise rallies and other forms
of popular protest against Washington's increasing  aggressiveness against the
US and world working class.
The source of the recent terrorist operation that has led to the loss of life of
many American workers is none other than US imperialism. The increasing
intensification of American imperialist aggression on the global stage against
the world working masses is the cause of this act of terrorism. Washington's
bombing of Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq and Serbia is the cause of this recent
terrorist act on US soil and will be the cause of further  terrorist acts.
American imperialism's invasion of Serbia and active support for the current
savage attempt by the Israeli state to crush the Palestinian people is the
source of this terrorism. By treating people like pigs they will act like pigs.
Consequently the American working class must place the blame for this great loss
of working class  life on the real perpetrators of this terrorist act  --the
world's greatest terrorist, the US bourgeoisie. It must accordingly proceed to
rid itself of this class by destroying capitalism and replacing it with
communist society. In this way it will have created the conditions that will
make terrorism an impossibility. American imperialism  pursues policies that
lead to the death and injury of hundreds of thousands of workers both inside and
outside the US. Today instead of joining hands with its bourgeoisie US workers
must join hands with the workers of the world  who have suffered too at the
hands of  US imperialism. It is a capitalist class whose time is over and that
can no longer play any progressive role in the development of society. Its hands
are covered in blood --it is a  natural born killer. It must be eliminated by
American workers class joining hands with European, Arab and Asian workers
against US imperialism in the  interests of humanity. By the world working class
jointly acting against US imperialism it is  uniting against all terrorism --the
only real way of eliminating terrorism.
