The final statement of the meeting, held on January 25 with the participation of socialist organizations from 17 countries, has been published.

The meeting was organized by Partido Obrero (Argentina), Revolutionary Internationalist Tendency (TIR, Italy), New Left Current for Communist Liberation (NAR, Greece), and the Socialist Laborers' Party (SEP, Turkey). Participants included MLPD from Germany, UFCLP from the United States, OKDE from Greece, Red Initiative/Red Action (Serbia-Croatia), Red Dawn from North Macedonia, GAR from Mexico, Agrupación Vilcapaza from Peru, Fuerza 18 de Octubre from Chile, Comunistas from Cuba, Tribuna Classista from Brazil, and La Fragua from Uruguay. Additionally, SWP from the United Kingdom and the Workers' Party from France attended as observers.

Prior to this meeting, the convening organizations had published a declaration on January 10, 2025, titled "For a Gathering of Internationalists Against the Imperialist War " This call addressed new developments in the global situation, including the overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria and Donald Trump's victory in the United States.

As the world imperialist system imposes wars and new crises on the peoples and workers of the world, it has become an urgent task for internationalist forces united around class independence and a revolutionary program to act through a common front of struggle and emerge as a concrete force in the political arena. In this direction, the declaration and action plan of the meeting, which outlined concrete steps for the upcoming period, have been announced.

Call for an International Conference and Plan of Action

We live in an era of intense struggle for global domination. At the center of these clashes is a declining and aggressive US imperialism and China, that has emerged as a big capitalist power. It in an era of explosion of capitalist antagonisms, ecological catastrophes, and military conflicts with victims the working classes, and the peoples. This is a result of a crisis of the capitalist system that cannot effectively be overcome and the struggle for international hegemony. An expression of this struggle is the war in Ukraine; a war that constitutes the starting point of a new phase, to which the genocide in Gaza and the military operations in the Middle East have been added. These military confrontations are developing as miniatures of a World War with a real risk of spreading to other parts of the planet.

1) The rise of Trump to the US government foreshadows a reactionary right-wing offensive not only against the workers and exploited people of the US (like the violent expulsion of immigrants), but also at the international level. The attacks on immigrants and the LGBTI community are used by the far right as the first moves in an attempt to militarize society against all workers and exploited peoples. The struggle against Trump's repression and political tendency towards fascism must not be subordinated to any kind of class collaboration front with pseudo-democratic sectors of the bourgeoisie but must be structured on the independent organization and political mobilization of the workers and social movements in defense of the nature, social needs, and democratic rights. The class collaboration fronts and the "lesser evils" have systematically shown their incapacity to confront these ultra-right forces, with their policies of demobilization and adaptation.

2) We combat any illusion that Donald Trump is coming to promote peace and stop wars. We are not facing an isolationist and pacifist tendency of US imperialism, but an expansionist and aggressive policy. His threats to invade and take control of the Panama Canal, Greenland, and even Canada, are evidence of this. Beyond Panama, the threats against countries to accept receiving violent deportation of their citizens and the immediate reinstating of Cuba as a supposed terrorist state marks a threat of active military intervention in Latin America to impose colonial interests. We oppose any US intervention as well as the continued blockade on Cuba, while at the same time denouncing the free market reforms and the austerity measures carried out under the current government, and we demand the freedom of those jailed for defending the rights of workers. 

3) Trump had pledged to achieve the suspension of the war in Ukraine in his first 24 hours in office. Now he claims that in the next 100 days. The eventual pax Americana that he proposes to achieve will only be an interlude to new wars (as was the Minsk agreement in 2014) and the price will be paid by the workers and the exploited of Ukraine and Russia.  The life and blood of a million dead and wounded of both peoples will be sacrificed for a new drawing of borders and an even more comprehensive plunder of the wealth produced by the workers.  

4) The ceasefire agreement in Gaza is a failure of Israel's plans against the Palestinian resistance. Netanyahu carried out a genocidal policy against the Palestinian people, announcing that it would end only with the total destruction of the Palestinian resistance and the expulsion of the Palestinians from Gaza. This he did not achieve, even though Trump’s proposal to expel 1.5 million Palestinians should not be dismissed as a boutade. Netanyahu had no choice but to recognize the popular roots of the resistance and negotiate the exchange of hostages. If the Palestinians were forced to sign an agreement that does not impose the total withdrawal of Zionist troops, it is due to the isolation to which they were subjected by the Arab bourgeoisie that has adopted collaborationist policies with the Western imperialist countries and Zionism. The recommencement of the Zionist war against the Palestinians is very likely. At the same time, the US, in coordination with Israel, is preparing to launch attacks on Yemen and Iran. The Zionist state is not compatible with the right to national self-determination of the Palestinian people. It is necessary to deepen the international mobilization against the Zionist/imperialist provocations in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the entire Middle East. Total withdrawal of the Zionist troops supported by imperialism. Freedom for ALL Palestinian prisoners. Right of return of Palestinians expelled from their homes.

5) The tendency to an inter-capitalist world war is fully entrenched in the international situation. Trump is promoting a state policy: to prepare the war against China. The scenario of clashes posed includes the awareness that in order to advance he must clash directly with the European powers and their Western allies. Imperialist war is a direct consequence of the historical crisis of the capitalist system. Russia and China do not represent a homogeneous side, much less a progressive or anti-imperialist one. They are big capitalist powers that act according to their own appetites and reactionary interests to sustain their regimes of exploitation and oppression. Their aim is the overthrow of the US "unipolar" world by a "multipolarity" with more players. However, the fragmentation of the imperialist system does not make it more benign, but more violent in its convulsions. We internationalists fight against the imperialist war and we propose, if it manifests itself with new partial battles and/or openly, to transform it into a class war against capitalist imperialism: "War to war", "the enemy of the workers is the bourgeoisie of our own countries". We fight for fraternization between Ukrainian and Russian workers and soldiers, for overthrowing the governments of hunger, repression, and war, and for workers' governments. We fully support the struggles of the oppressed peoples in Asia/Africa/Latin America against all imperialist powers.

On the basis of these common principles we call for: 

a) an international action against persecution and deportation of migrants in the US, Europe, and all over the world on February 7th and 8th, rallying at US embassies and consulates against the campaign of criminalization, mass arrests, and deportations carried out by the Trump administration.
b) Common international action in the week of February 24th, the third anniversary of the beginning of the current war between NATO and Russia, rallying for the immediate end of this war and of the genocide in Palestine, and against the trend to a new global inter-imperialist war.
c) an international virtual forum against the repression of the capitalist governments on socialist organizations and mass movements to be held in early April
d) a Conference of internationalist organizations against the Imperialist War to be held in Europe between May and June 2025.
