Glory for
Lebanese Patriot Valiant Resistance
A
Statement of the Communist Party of Syria
Our disdainful people:
The brutal
Zionist aggression against Lebanon is entering its third
week, and Israeli war machine is destroying the
infrastructures and active constructions, bombing cities
and villages, ruining houses over its inhabitants,
stretching out horror and killing, in a frantic attempt
to realize the aim of Zionist government which is the
destruction of the patriot resistance and application of
the Zionist American-Francis resolution that was issued
by Security Council number 1559 including disarmament of
resistance and dismantle Lebanon of any capability of
blocking the permanent Zionist aggression, aiming to
submit Lebanon to the American-Zionist hegemony through
“a Peace Agreement” with Israel according to the
military superior and the unlimited supporting by
America and the weakness of many of the Arab governors
and some Lebanese pro-west forces.
Afterwards, to single out with steadfast Syria which is
considered an obstacle against the project of “The New
Great Middle East” and other colonist projects.
Despite
the Barbaric Israeli bombardment and the huge destroying
that it causes, the patriot valiant resistance has given
the Nazis of the age and the murderers of old, women and
children, hard lessons in the defense of the territory
and dignity, Lebanese people have offered hundreds of
martyrs and thousands of injured and the battles of Bent
Jbail and Maroon Elrass will be always an immortal tome
in the history of peoples fighting.
Steadfast
People:
The
criminal record of the Zionist racist state is full of
massacres since fourteens of last century and this was
and will stay its way to achieve its hegemony to realize
its targets starting from Dair Yaseen to Qabya and
Alhola, Kafar Qassem and Qana 1996 to the massacres of
Marwaheen and Qana 2006, the eagerness of Zionists to
blood expresses the fascist racial Zionist Ideology
which is related organic with Ameriacn Imperialist.
The
exceptional bravery and great sacrificing of Lebanese
patriot valiant resistance has obliged the government of
the Zionist enemy to withdraw its conditions to stop the
aggression and destroyed the Zionist and American
insolence...
The brave
resistance in Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq is not
defending only the Arab peoples and their homelands but
it is in the forefront of the world brave fighting
against the attempts of Zionist and American hegemony
and this resistance is receiving encouraging and
supporting by our people and all world fighting peoples.
Victory
for Lebanese Patriot Valiant Resistance

The Statement of Communist Parties in the Arab Countries
Victory for Valiant Resistance
With a direct supporting and unlimited encouraging by the imperialist
sections, particularly the American imperialist, Zionist
Israel had launched a savage aggression against Lebanon
to revive the imperialist projects which is destroyed
daily on the steadfastness rock of Iraqi resistance, the
bravePalestinian resistance, and the Lebanese national
resistance which is
demonstrating today that it has the ability to attain a
new defeat to theseprojects as it did before…..
This barbaric aggression against Palestine and Lebanon, and what follows
it with killing and planned destroying to the low
constitutions, is a new fascist policy under the shadow
of a conniver international silence, and worse than
that, is the weakness of some Arab governors under
fragile arguments which evoke irony and disgust
because they actually became fear of the rising and
increasing of the Arab national liberty movement role.
It’s intelligible that this savage aggression, which is planned before,
is apart of “ the Creative Mess “ policy which the
American imperialist and the world Zionist try to push
the region to, for the reason to build their colonist
project “ the Great Middle East “ which is failing by
Syrian steadfastness and the valiant resistance in Iraq,
Palestine and Lebanon.
We, the communist parties in the Arab countries, announce our struggling
solidarity and supporting to the valiant resistance
forces in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon. We call out the
Arab peoples to stand in disdain and firmness to quack
the earth under the thrones of weak and conspirators.
We see in the progress of Syrian opposition, a certain way to frustrate
those colonist projects, which is planned to our region,
as we call out our friends and all freedom forces in the
world to escalate the struggle in solidarity with the
fighting of our people against the American imperialist
and world Zionist.

Live for resistance in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq

Declaration
of the Syrian Communist Party.
Glory to the Heroic Palestinian Resistance!
Shame and humiliation on the collaborators!
To our steadfast people,
The Palestinian people in the occupied territories are
being subjected to a humanitarian disaster as a result
of the Zionist criminal escalation that has led to the
deaths of dozens, the destruction of the vital
infrastructure of electric power plants, bridges, roads
and homes of peaceful citizens on the excuse that this
is aimed at securing the release of a Zionist soldier
who was taken prisoner in a courageous operation carried
out by the Palestinian resistance.
This Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people
is not new. It has been a continuous reality since
the establishment of the rapacious Zionist entity, which
resulted in the uprooting and scattering of millions of
people, the seizure of the land, and the transformation
of the Palestinian territories into settlements and
military bases.
News agencies have reported the commanders of the
Israeli military establishment as saying that the
decision to invade the Ghazza district was taken weeks
before the Palestinian attack on Karam Salem (“Kerem
Shalom”) [in which the Israeli soldier was captured],
and Israel needed no excuse to commit a new crime in the
on-going series of its crimes in accordance with the
arrogant Zionist mentality that has taken form in
the context of expansionism and aggression.
As the Israeli blockade, destructive raids, and a
campaign to starve our people in occupied Palestine went
on for weeks, the western world was wrapped in a
suspicious silence over what was taking place in the
occupied territories. The leaders of western
countries and some Arab rulers worked to put pressure on
the Palestine Authority to release one Israeli
prisoner all the while Israeli prisons are bursting with
thousands of Palestinians, including hundreds of
children, women, elderly, and sick people.
This latest Israeli aggression follows a long blockade
of the Palestinian people that has failed. It
follows the failure of Israel’s attempt to stir up
internal discord and civil war among the Palestinians
with the aim of bringing down the popularly elected
government of Hamas. This was intended to create a
vacuum into which the Olmert government hoped to step
with its final plans of unilaterally drawing borders,
killing the spirit of struggle and resistance among the
Palestinians, and subjugating them completely to Israeli
control.
Steadfast people,
The attempts of American imperialist and Zionist circles
to take control of this region and plunder its natural
resources are obvious. It has become clear that
those circles are trying to perpetuate tension in our
region in order to fulfill their so-called “Greater
Middle East” plan. But that policy is meeting with
ever increasing resistance by our Arab people in
Palestine, Iraq, Syria and among the Lebanese patriotic
forces. Colonialist plans and ambitions have
suffered painful blows in Palestine and Iraq.
The peoples refuse to
submit to the butchers;the hungry will claw with sharp
nails at the flesh of those who surround and try to
exterminate them.
The Israel’s escalation, its policy of state terrorism,
and its violation of international law constitute a
dangerous and continuous threat to peace in the region
an the world. Yet this Israeli policy receives
unrestricted American cover and support militarily and
politically.
To stand up to the plans of imperialism and Zionism
requires vigilance on the part of the patriotic forces
and the Arab masses. They, together with the
forces of freedom in the world, take the side of the
victimized Palestinian people and against the racist
Zionist offensive and the leaders of the western
countries. Those leaders’ emotions and
humanitarian sentiments have been aroused for the sake
of one Zionist soldier yet they do not even bat an
eyelid when faced with the killing of thousands of
Palestinians and the destruction of their land and
possessions by the Israeli war machine.
Steadfastness is the only way to survive, and resistance
is the only way to regain stolen rights.
Glory to the heroic martyrs of the resistance!
Let us unite our efforts and our guns in the face of
racist Zionism!
Shame and humiliation on the forces of occupation and
tyranny!

Damascus, 12/11/2005
The 10th
Congress
of Syrian Communist Party
--------------------------------------------------------
Hands off
Syria!
An
announcement by the Syrian Communist Party
To the
great Syrian people:
A new chapter
from the vast conspiracy against Syria has been opened
with the publication of the Mehlice Report about the
assassination of the former Lebanese Prime Minister
Rafiq al-Hariri.
Before the
publication of the report, a mad rubble-rousing
propaganda campaign well prepared in the conspiracy
kitchens in Tel Aviv, Washington and Paris was launched
against Syria combined with a programmed leaking of
information. Paris had become the capital of the neo
French orphans who fled their home land to be under the
wing of Jaque Shirak.
Drear
brothers and sisters,
The American
imperialism is ever more sinking in the Iraqi morass,
and it spares no effort in finding excuses and
justifications before the world public opinion and the
public opinion in its own backyard that opposes its
aggressive wars. The White House rulers tried to take
cover behind false slogans such as fighting global
terrorism, combating religious extremism and attempting
to establish a democratic civil society and “protecting
the democracy in Lebanon”.
The peoples
of the region however have realized that such dim
slogans hide countless conspiracies and greed for the
region’s wealth. Horrendous atrocities are being
committed in Iraq in the name of those slogans such as
the killing of women and children, demolition of
inhabited houses, burning of fields and plundering of
the country’s wealth and ancient human heritage. The
shameful crimes committed in Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and
the detention centers in Afghanistan are all clear
examples of the sort of civilization America is bringing
to the region to set up its imperialist project: “the
Greater Middle East”.
The White
House rulers are faced with a rock solid steadfast Syria
standing firm in the way of achieving imperialist goals,
especially the opening of the Lebanon’s borders
impervious to Israeli plans thanks to the heroic
Lebanese national resistance, especially at times where
some Arabs are competing to normalize relations with
Israel.
Hence the
American Administration is claiming that Syria is
turning a blind eye to infiltrating into Iraq via the
Syria borders, which is a preposterous and stupid
accusation since the Syrian borders with Iraq are
intensively guarded by the occupying American forces.
The American forces in Iraq have suffered huge losses,
which drove them mad and caused the White House rulers
and their followers to be in a state of disequilibrium
and distraction and this prompted them to level all
kinds of charges against Syria to force it alter its
honorable patriotic course.
Hence the
insertion of Syria’s name into the Mehlice Report is a
form of conspiracy and a mean to apply more pressure on
Syria because it is nothing more than a piece of fiction
badly compiled in the Zionist kitchens, and as indicated
by many qualified jurists, this report is more of a
political statement void of any legal facts.
The Mehlice
Report refers to many possibilities including the
assumption of a hidden dispute, financial disagreements
and money laundering, which indicates that political
money may be behind the assassination.
Our people
realize that those in the White House and Tel Aviv who
throw accusations left and right are the top
professional assassination practioners who carried out
high profile political assassinations such as the
killing of John and Robert Kennedy, Isaac Rabin, Count
Folke Bernadotte, Martin Luther King, Olof Palme and
many others.
In those hard
times, we have no doubt whatsoever that our great nation
will triumph over this conspiracy weaved against our
country and this will be achieved by being united in
solidarity, consolidating our national unity and being
faithful to our great national history regardless of the
overt and concealed plots and conspiracies.
Our great
people who never yielded to a colonizer or a foreigner
know well that “It is easier to anger imperialism than
to please it”, and will continue to raise the slogan
“Syria will never kneel down”.

SYRIAN
COMMUNIST PARTY (SCP)
SCP
Central Committee Meeting
-Communiqué-
For consolidating national steadfastness and resisting
American Imperialist and Zionist pressures
The SCP Central Committee held its regular meeting on
September 16th 2005 under the chairmanship of
Comrade Wisal Farha Bagdash the General Secretary.
The Central Committee discussed the latest political
developments in the light of the aggravating tension
caused by the imperialist policies of the US
administration which is run by a gang of neo
conservative Zionists and this tension is evident in our
region due the American-Zionist plots intended to
restructure the middle East. According to the neo
conservative plans, Israel constitutes the core of what
is called the greater Middle East and in order to
achieve that goal they are trying to break countries of
the region into small pieces and turned them into a tiny
entities totally subordinate to the American-Zionist
imperial rule.
The invasion of Iraq, the attempts to set off strife in
Lebanon and destroy the heroic resistance in Palestine
and launch a mad media war against Syria are all part of
the said plot.
The current American administration that came up with
its new imperialist doctrine of “constructive chaos” is
behind what is going on in Lebanon: the confusion,
fueling of sectarian tension, calls for direct foreign
intervention and submission to foreign forces active
there. All the aforesaid demonstrates that the recent
wave of assassinations and the attempt to throw Lebanon
into a state of disarray is a realization of the plot
set by the constructive chaos theory creators, and this
would draw a very clear picture of who is profiting from
what is going on in Lebanon the brother of Syria.
The mad media campaign launched by the United States
against Syria in response to its honorable stance
compared to the overwhelming Arab defeatism is also a
factor in the aggravating tension in the region.
The American Secretary of State says that America will
apply continuous pressure on Syria, and the American
ambassador in Iraq threatened that his county will take
deterring measures against Syria including a possible
military action on the pretext of the infiltration of
some foreign fighters from the Syrian borders into Iraq.
It is obvious that such claims are blatant lies aimed at
covering the flagrant failure of occupation forces in
quelling the heroic Iraqi resistance and inability of
American imperialism to get out from the Iraqi swamp.
The catastrophic war in Iraq which turned the occupiers’
plans upside down, in addition to the natural disaster
that hit New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico, which
demonstrated the powerlessness of the brutal American
imperialism in the face of nature’s anger created by the
barbaric destruction of the global environment at the
hands of that imperialism is a testimony that
imperialism is not that all mighty as it depicts itself.
On the other side of the equation, many national
liberation forces and parties across the world in
addition to prominent anti war figures and forces inside
the United States itself are standing firm in the face
of this imperialist aggression and people all over the
world are scoring notable triumphs in facing American
imperialism and defeating its evil plans.
The steadfastness of Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea,
Belarus, Syria and all forces of freedom and democracy
in the world represents a key factor in strengthening
trust of peoples of the world and escalating their
struggle against American domination.
The great success of the 16th World Festival
of Youth and Students held in Venezuela despite attempts
by American imperialism and its agents to sabotage it is
a shiny example that International solidarity and the
power of the people are stronger than imperialist
conspiracies and domination.
The SCP’s Central Committee in that context underlines
the importance of SCP slogan “For a Global
Anti-Imperialist Front”. The Central Committee believes
that in the midst of the difficult circumstances that
our country going through, all elements of national
steadfastness must be mobilized because steadfastness is
not simply a figurative duty but a solid reality as
shown by peoples of the world and as shown in the
contemporary Syrian history. This steadfastness requires
a firm stand and sense of purpose in the face of
imperialist intimidations. Thus our party is more
convinced of its well- known slogan: “It is easier to
anger imperialism than to please it”.
In order to consolidate our national steadfastness, the
pressing livelihood needs of the pillar of that
steadfastness: the working class that comprises laborers
and peasants and small earners must be satisfied. The
Central Committee holds that various well known circles
are trying to propagate certain liberal economic
formulas harmful to the ingredients of national
steadfastness under various excuses through which
bourgeois circles want to weaken Syria economically in
order to capture it politically.
The Syrian people can withstand and resist all
conspiracies and pressures by relying on the unity of
all national forces. Thus the working class must be
given more freedoms, their needs satisfied, their living
standard improved and their dignity and accomplishments
protected.
The Central Committee calls for more solidarity between
the people of our region to face American and Zionist
plans and invites all parties and national progressive
forces in the Arab World to boost their efforts in
backing up Syria’s steadfastness. The Central Committee
also calls upon those forces to support the heroic Iraqi
resistance in its battle against American occupation and
support the Palestinian people in its struggle to
liberate its land and establish an independent
Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its national
capital.
The Central Committee considers that the Israeli
withdrawal from Gaza came as a result of the sacrifices
provided by the Palestinian people and its heroic
resistance, and those people will not allow the Zionist
entity to turn the withdrawal into an excuse to
implement its criminal plans in the West Bank. The
Palestinian people will scale up its struggle till the
Zionist enemy’s withdrawal from the land occupied in the
1967 aggression. In commemoration of the massacres of
Sabra and Shatila, peoples of the Arab world expressed
their dejection and sorrow and condemn the action of
some Arab leaders who hasten to shake hand with the
butcher of Sabra and Shatila “Ariel Sharon”.
Turning to the domestic front, the Central Committee
observes that the working class in general and small
earners in particular are suffering hard from difficult
economic conditions and deteriorating living standards.
The assault against the social accomplishments achieved
by the struggle of the Syrian people such as free
medical care and education is continuing. In addition,
unemployment amongst the masses is on the rise causing
more social tension, which may be exploited by the
reactionary and dark forces.
In order to face the dangers besetting our country, the
Central Committee believes that major efforts should be
dedicated to improve living standard of the masses, curb
rising prices, increase salaries and wages to be
compatible with prices and constantly associate wages
with prices.
The Protection of the public sector, which is considered
the largest national asset and the main pillar of Syrian
economy, and the removal of all difficulties and
obstacles facing that sector is the cornerstone of
national steadfastness. Stimulating and supporting the
national industry must be the basis for supporting the
national economy instead of relying on foreign capital
and handing over lands to foreign companies under
slogans such as “tourism promotion” and others.
The Central Committee believes that the best way to
fight corruption is to strike at its main source
represented by the intrusive bureaucratic bourgeoisie
plundering, which requires giving more democratic
freedoms to the people in order to punish plunderers.
The Central Committee also believes that the
implementation of the liberal program (if done) will
constitute a new qualitative step in spreading
corruption and diversifying its forms via the entry of
foreign capital and the equivocated privatization
associated with fresh corruption and increased economic
hardship for all people.
The Central Committee has warned against what is being
propagated by certain circles in regard to increasing
prices of fuel under the pretence that this move will
curb fuel smuggling to neighboring countries. The
Central Committee believes that such step will add to
the country’s socio-economic problems by worsening
inflation and deepening recession and this will in turn
lead to deteriorated living standards. The masses must
not be punished for the failure of authorities to combat
fuel smuggling and wipe out high-profile smugglers.
The Central Committee discussed the new political party
law due to be passed soon and endorsed the key proposals
put forward by SCP in regard to that particular issue,
which are to be communicated to the National Progressive
Front’s Central Leadership.
The Central Committee examined the election results of
the organizations’ delegates to the 10th SCP
Congress and it observed that all party elections were
conducted in a democratic atmosphere with the presence
of representatives of the SCP Political Bureau and the
SCP Control Committee pursuant to the Bylaw and the list
made by the Central Committee and endorsed by it in its
meeting held on 29/1/2005.
The Central Committee discussed the preparations for the
10th SCP Congress and decided to convene it
on November 9th 2005 and endorsed its agenda.
The Central Committee thereby declares its meeting
concluded.

COMMUNIST PARTY (SCP)
Central
Committee Meeting
Communiqué
Towards
consolidating the national steadiness
The SCP’s central
committee held its periodic meeting on may 20th
2005, under the chairmanship of its General Secretary
comrade Wisal Farha Bagdash.
After reviewing the
political situation, the central committee got to the
point that the global situation is getting more tense
due to the aggressive policies of the world imperialism,
and to the American imperialism its striking force,
while the economic crisis is striking all the pillars of
the world imperialism, the imperialist powers are
striving to strengthen their hegemony over the whole
world, and to go on plundering the resources of world’s
peoples in order to sustain its capital monopolization
and the ruling oligarchy of the imperial countries.
To achieve its goals the
imperialism tries every possible way like military
attacks, and occupation, just like what happened in
Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq. Along with creating
the so-called “colored revolutions” like those in
several east European countries, Caucasus and Middle
Asia. Though the means differ but still the goal is the
same: creating inferior systems that are practically
subject to the imperialist dictation, and that
facilitate the comprehensive process of plunder of the
world’s peoples revenues.
This process continues
under the circumstances of aggravated conflicts between
the imperialist circles, while they all agree on
plundering the world’s nations revenues, and decreasing
the national sovereignty of the independent countries,
but still they disagree on the distribution of loot
among them, so they get into conflicts over the
positions of power and hegemony, along with inflaming
the so-called regional wars for the purpose of
re-dividing the world’s revenues, the so-called economic
wars are inflamed between the imperialist circles
specially the U.S.A. and western Europe, and lately
between the U.S.A. and Europe as a party and some of the
Asian developed countries as the other.
It’s getting more and
more obvious now, the role played by the Zionists in
planning and supervising the aggressive US policy. The
representatives of the Jewish monetary capital which
forms a significant part of the ruling American
oligarchy, and the major structure of the Neo-Cons; the
fascist oligarchy that defines the current American
policy. Moreover, Zionists are the founders, instructors
and financers of the so-called civil society
associations, which provide the propaganda and the
popular base for the so-called colored revolutions aimed
at establishing pro-imperialism puppet regimes under the
pretext of establishing pure democracy.
Meanwhile, the attack of
the capital monopoly gets wider on the rights and gains
of the laborers of the same imperialist circles. The
greed of the financial oligarchy is threatening the
social security system as a whole, the system that the
laborers achieved in the western countries through their
toilsome struggle, and thanks to the competitive systems
embodied by the Soviet Union and other socialist
countries. In these countries, even the smallest rights
considered to be axiomatic like free university
education and comprehensive health security are being
eliminated in theos imperialist circles.
Class struggle is flaring
all over the world. In spite of the collapse of their
regimes, the aggressed countries are showing escalation
of the fight against aggression, the Iraqi resistance
being the best example about that, hindering the
aggressive projects of imperialism, not only in our
region but all over the world as well, by fighting and
struggling against the occupiers and obliging them to
have a review for their behavior, manner and tactics.
There are also significant indication of the
resurrection of the resistance in Afghanistan and some
of middle Asian countries.
International liberation
movements in Latin America have already achieved great
success. Along with the liberation of heroic Cuba,
neighbouring the United States shore, which stands
invulnerable because of giving its country that sense of
honor and national dignity, and applying the principles
of social justice, there are also some other Latin
American countries that reject one way or another the
dictations of the U.S.A empire, and strive to walk on
the way of independent development like Bolivarian
Venezuela, giant Brazil, Argentina which is worn-out by
the IMF prescriptions, Uruguay and Paraguay.
There are positive
phenomena in eastern and southern Asian countries. The
national ruling Indian bourgeoisie supported by the
alliance of leftist groups is opening its way through,
away from the imperialist American decision. There is
also obvious contradiction between the great success
achieved by Malaysia and the IMF and World Bank
prescriptions meant vainly to be imposed on it, which
reflects the secret of Malaysia’s success story.
Regardless of all the
announcements about trying to create compromises and
bargains, contradictions between the U.S.A and China are
still accumulating not only in the field of economics,
but also in the fields of geopolitics, the united states
is trying create military bases all around china,
through the countries of middle Asia.
Strikes and protests in
the European countries are growing bigger, the latest
being the great and widespread demonstrations and
strikes in countries like Greece, Italy and France
against the monopolies and the countries supporting the
monopolizers of peoples’ rights, concerning the success
of Tony Blair and his party in winning the British
elections, it is taken as a result of two points: the
profits England acquired by participating in plundering
Iraq, which helped improve the periodical situation of
the British economy on one hand, and because the
conservative party, main competitor against Blair and
his party wasn’t less enthusiastic than the last about
America’s bloody war against Iraq.
One of the positive signs
the world witnessed was the Arab-south American
conference, which embodied the right way through which
independent countries must go defending their rights
together.
The basic task of the
world liberation movements is to increase interaction
among its different groups in their common struggle
against the world imperialism. Concerning this point the
central committee stresses the priority and actuality of
the slogan: “towards a world front against
imperialism”.
The Arab region is one of
the main arenas of the imperialist American policy. The
US policy in our region aims at dividing, not only the
Arab world, but also at dividing many of the Arab
countries themselves, because achieving this will help
the American imperialism fasten its grip on the region,
and because this will be a very important factor if
“establishing the Greater Middle East” led by Israel and
under the sponsorship of the U.S.A, which practically
means establishing the greater Zionists country.
As to accomplish this
dangerous imperialist-Zionist scenario, the American
imperialism doesn’t only wage that fierce attack against
the Arab liberation movement, and against the patriotic
regimes of the region, but practice demolition against
the regimes renowned for their traditional support to
imperialism as well. Therefore it’s in the best interest
of imperialism and Zionism to weaken the Arab countries
so that they can’t participate in any national battle,
and always be a follower and executer of the American
and Zionist orders. American and Zionist Imperialism
also strives at creating and inflaming confessional and
ethnic seditions into the Arab countries in particular
and the countries of the region in general.
The imperialist plans
collided with obstacles embodied by the great national
Iraqi resistance, in spite of the temporary success
achieved by the American occupiers and their allies by
occupying Iraq and plundering its revenues, but still we
can say that this heedless American adventure is
definitely going to be defeated. The central committee
extends its greeting to the resistance of our Iraqi
brothers against the loathsome occupiers, warning them
at the same time from the occupation plans symbolized by
inflaming several seditions in order to dissuade this
courageous people from its goal, which is achieving
complete independence ,throwing the occupiers out of its
country, and refusing any colonial stipulations.
The Central Committee
also salutes the resistance of the brave Palestinian
people who is clinging to its legitimate rights and
steadily struggling for them in spite of the violence
and savagery of the Zionist occupiers and the maneuvers
of the crawlers.
The Arab region witnessed
lately an increase in the colonial pressure on Syria,
such as issuing the decision 1559 that contradicts the
UN Charter, followed by the well-known incidents in
Lebanon that were evoked by the powers having thousands
of links with the colonial circles. The Central
Committee also expresses its support to the decision
made by the Syrian leadership to withdraw its military
troops out of the Lebanese territories and re-distribute
them in their natural positions inside the national
borders, stressing at the same time that the way and
mechanism for resisting the common aggression that’s
occupying Arab lands are rights related to the
sovereignty of the two allying countries with which the
world hegemony powers have nothing to do.
All the successive
incidents Lebanon witnessed prove the analysis made by
the historic leader of our party comrade Khaled Bagdash
by the end of the seventies of the past century,
explaining that: “using Lebanon for two main goals:
first exerting pressure upon Syria and subjugating it
one way or another, and second dividing Lebanon or
driving it, country and regime, to support the American
and Zionist plans in the region was always and still is
one of the most important goals of the American
imperialism and Zionism.”
Indeed, this is exactly
what the reactionary and non patriotic elements look
forward to represented by the new feudalism, most of
whom being the descents of the same old feudalist
system, the nouveau riche, war profiteers who represent
the political comprador tycoons, who comply to the
orders of the foreign high commissioners to whom they
are related with traditional or new-fashioned submission
relations, trading all the values of national dignity
while rushing towards the foreigners. Under this
demagogic and fierce attack the national Lebanese
elements are facing the mission of defending the
sovereignty, and save the pride Lebanon from being
neither a pathway nor a destination for the
colonialists, also struggling for the real democracy
free from confessional stench and political money.
Arab Syria’s steadiness
is one of the main factors that would block the
imperialist and Zionist plans in this region. Here comes
the greediness of the colonialist elements over the
national steadiness of Syria, and using all the possible
ways to subjugate Syria. Here are the American threats,
Israeli provocation, blackmailing of the Arab leaders
followers of the US, and the suspected movements of the
internal reactionism along with the fierce campaigns
against Syria in the fields of politics, mass media and
economy.
These critical
circumstances our country is witnessing require
reinforcing all the factors of steadiness, national
unity being the most important, through fulfilling the
needs of our people who represent the main cornerstone
of national steadiness, especially that we have the
potential both physical and moral.
In these circumstances,
defending the national production and the public sector
being the backbone of this national economy, occupies a
very important position, along with the economic and
social dimensions. Concerning this specific point the
SCP warns against the risk of applying the new
liberalist prescriptions, which are meant to be
represented under the name of “market economy”, for the
main goals of these prescriptions are to destroy the
national economy, achieve gradual privatization of the
public sector, decrease the social function of the
government and open the national economy for foreign
monopolies and their allies among the classical
bourgeoisie, all for the purpose of wearing away our
country economically and then politically.
The SCP believes that the
best way to develop our national economy lies in
protecting and developing the national production,
increasing the investments of the state, clearing it of
the bourgeois and bureaucratic elements and fulfilling
the needs of farmers and small income groups.
Encouraging, protecting the productive national capital,
restraining the phenomenon of price increase and
insuring an appropriate salary for the employees on the
basis of linking salaries to prices.
On the socio-political
level, the SCP stresses the demands it has already
raised and is still raising in terms of expanding the
democratic freedoms, the most important of which being:
1.
canceling the Martial Laws and respecting the rule of
law.
2.
issuing a law for parties that should organize their
activities in accordance with the national priorities.
3.
developing the press law towards becoming more
democratic.
4.
giving the judiciary system more autonomy and the
immunity guaranteed by law.
5.
increasing the role of institutions in the public
aspects of life, such like the People’s Assembly and
local administration.
6.
activating the role of popular and mass organizations
specially the monitoring and demanding functions, such
as the laborers’ syndicates and professional unions.
7.
admitting the cultural rights of the Kurds and other
ethnic minorities, through teaching their languages and
issuing publications in their mother tongue.
8.
fostering fraternity and consolidating national unity
among all the Syrians, and giving the rights of
citizenship to all the inhabitants of our country, and
trying to cancel all negative results of the
extraordinary statistics made in Hasakeh by the
reactionary feudal circles during the rule of separatist
government in 1962.
9.
achieving the real gender equality in all aspects of
life, as a first step towards canceling all the
discriminatory provisions against women in the Personal
Law.
The committee underlined
the fact that there has been recently some trials to
demolish the alliance among the parties of the National
Progressive Front. Such trials, regardless of the signs
behind which they hide, aim at putting an end to the
cooperation among the parties that agree on the priority
of national steadiness, in order to get rid of this
steadiness. Worth mentioning that these forces calling
for striking the national alliance all strive for
creating their own alliances out of yesterdays leftists,
the reactionaries that take religion as a cover along
with the modernized liberalism, in order to achieve
their goal which is changing the current situation to
make it more appropriate for the colonialist plans.
The Committee stresses
the importance of solidarity among all the national
groups of our country, for the purpose of defending the
sovereignty and dignity of our beloved country, our
slogan has always been: Syria will not kneel!
The Committee also went
through the draft of the economic report presented by
the Central Economic Office to the tenth Party
conference, and ratified it after making some
amendments.
The Committee studied the
preparations for the tenth conference and the outputs of
the Party’ regional conferences that accomplished their
duties. The Central Committee also praised the high
spirits our comrades have and, their resolution to get
into all the national and class struggle for a free
country and a happy people. The regional conferences
also reflected the comrades’ understanding and belief in
the party’s fundamental policy.
The Committee studied as
well some organizational issues and made the appropriate
decisions.
The Central Committee by
the last statement declares its regular meeting
concluded.

SYRIAN
COMMUNIST PARTY (SCP)
Central
Committee Meeting
Communiqué
The SCP
Central Committee held its regular meeting on January 29th
2005 under the chairmanship of Comrade Wisal Farha
Bagdash the General Secretary attended by members of the
Party’s supervision committee.
After
reviewing the current political situation, the Central
Committee pointed out to the aggravating global
situation as a result of the imperialistic American
policies targeting many parts of the world. The Central
Committee indicated that the Zionist political circles
play a key role in designing those aggressive policies
given that Zionism, which is the vanguard of Jewish
capitalism, is a vital component of the ruling American
capitalist gang, and that the current American
administration is totally controlled by the brutal
Zionist machine.
The
Central Committee also observed that Zionism now
actually controls the natural resources and capacities
of many nations all around the world, which was always
the primary goal of this racist reactionary movement
which was also the driving force behind the fall of the
Soviet Union and the plundering of its strategic
resources.
The
outcome of the recent American presidential elections
reveals the serious flaw in the so-called “western
democracy”, given that such a mindless and rash figure
has been reelected president of the most powerful
country in the world. It is obvious that the factors
determining the winner in such political system are not
the capacity, competence or credentials of any given
candidate but rather the amount of cash spent on his
election campaign and how much powerful those circles
who back him are. The man who claimed victory in Capitol
Hill was not George W Bush the political figure but
George W Bush the representative of American oil and
military cartels. In fact, the whole Bush dynasty is the
spawn of those cartels and has been always representing
their interests, which explains the growing American
hostility aimed at subjecting people of the world to
American domination. The US, thanks to the current
administration, is not only in quarrel with freedom
fighters and the free and independent nations in the
world and their people but it has been also becoming
increasingly inharmonious with many capitalist circles
in Europe and South East Asia.
Contradictions within global imperialist circles has
intensified leading to incessant frictions between them
that range from economic wars and conspiracies to
fueling ethnic tensions disputes and even civil wars in
conflict areas and sometimes waging full-scale wars, as
it was the case in the former Yugoslavia, and the
renewed scenarios in Africa, Caucasus Caspian Sea and
other parts of the world. The immoral war waged on Iraq
by America and its allies was the latest episode in the
bloody scenario drawn in collaboration with Zionism to
inaugurate their bloody criminal history into the 21st
century.
The
bloody imperialist American policy is nevertheless
facing a growing resistance inside and outside the US.
The anti-war lobby, which opposes Zionist dominated
American policies, is making its voice heard, and many
western governments who passionately took part in that
criminal war on Iraq are facing increasing anger from
their own people, which forced many governments either
to resign under public pressure, pull their troops out
of Iraq or announce that they will do so to avoid rising
public discontent of this outrageous imperialist war
with its phony justifications shamelessly exposed.
The
circle of discontent of this mad war is widening inside
the US itself as the number of American servicemen
coming home in coffins increases. Moreover, the American
economy has been seriously affected by the enormous cost
of this war which weakened its competitiveness compared
with other global economies. The American economy was
not in its finest shapes even before this war, but its
structural crisis has been further shaken to the extent
that many insightful American politicians are calling
for the end of this war and the complete pullout of
troops from the Iraqi morass, and even the imperialist
connoisseurs say that the outcome of the war will have
serious repercussions on the global scene for one or two
decays to come, which shows that the current
administration has even made a growing number of
monopolist circles feel uneasy about the war. However,
the most radical elements in this ruling imperialist
reactionary gang is insisting on this line of action
despite the growing criticism over such reckless
expansionist policies, and this was reflected in George
Bush’s inaugural speech, which was delivered in Masonic
lodge congregation-like atmosphere, during which he
pledged to pursue the same policy of supremacy and
domination over the world disguised by a snake oil mask
of “struggle against oppression” and other phony slogans
compiled to justify imposing American imperialist
tyranny over the world.
The
current administration has resurrected, due to the
immense cost of military intervention, what is called
“the democratic means”, which is another phony rhetoric
hiding America’s real intentions aimed at imposing
imperialist supremacy by the export of velvet
revolutions generously financed by various imperialist
powers to install regimes totally submissive to
imperialist domination in a comprador-like pattern. This
plot of course shall be facilitated by the “civil
society” approach, which implies never-ending ties with
the global imperialist corporations. The term “civil
society” and its institutions, practices and advocates
utterly clash with the concepts of national sovereignty
and genuine democracy, which essentially means free
choice of people to determine their own destiny and
course of development away from the influence of global
imperialist tyrannical powers. The world’s progressive
and revolutionary powers and political parties should
therefore join forces to mobilize the public opinion and
people in their countries to defy al aspects of
imperialist expansionism.
The
global anti-imperialist campaign is gathering momentum
by the day, which was evident recently in the mass
protests against the “Davos” lodge of the world’s
biggest plunderers. The anti-imperialist slogans are
increasingly accompanied by pro-socialist ones, which
indicates that the people of the world know what is
really going on since the disappearance of the socialist
block. Moreover, there is an ever-increasing unstated
discontent over the growing Zionist influence in many
parts of the world.
The
primary task on the global front now as Syrian
communists see it is the continuation of struggle to
consolidate the form and consolidate the Global
Anti-imperialism Front. It is obvious that the first and
vital step to realize the desired goals would be to form
an anti-imperialism front on the national level given
that such fronts in countries like Syria, Brazil, India,
Venezuela, Belarus and recently Uruguay made substantial
success in confronting imperialist domination and
preserving national sovereignty.
Upon
examining the situation in the Arab World in general and
the Middle East in particular, the Central Committee
observed that the current course of events attested SCP
forecast on the rise of mass Arab liberation movements,
with the heroic Iraqi resistance against the imperialist
Anglo-Saxon led occupation forces as a glaring example.
This gallant resistance inflicted heavy loses on the
occupiers and held back their attempts to extend their
aggression, to the extent that their chief concern
became to save face while dragging themselves out of the
Iraqi morass. It is clear that the Iraqi elections were
nothing but a desperate attempt to legitimatize the
current grave situation and it is also clear that those
attempts are doomed to failure because even some
American politicians acknowledge that failing to achieve
some sort of triumph over the resistance is in itself a
defeat.
The
Central Committee also observed that after the recent
changes in the Palestinian leadership attempts are
underway to revive the Road Map. The Central Committee
believes that the only way forward for the Palestinian
national struggle is to effectuate the legitimate rights
of Palestinian people of creating the fully independent
and sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem its
capital and securing the right of return for Palestinian
refugees. The Central Committee saluted the Palestinian
freedom fighters kept in Israeli prisons and the
courageous strivers confronting Israeli occupation.
The
Central Committee condemned the various pressures put by
the Imperialist and Zionist circles on Syria and Lebanon
being the few remaining Arab countries still pursuing
their firm patriotic line defying imperialist domination
over the Arab World. The last episode in this series of
imperialist pressure was the 1559 UN Security Council
resolution and its subsequent measures that can be only
labeled as an illegal and outrageous interference in the
internal affairs of two sovereign countries that are
amongst the founding members of the UN and amongst the
original signatories of its charter, which prohibits
this international institution from interfering in the
internal affairs of member countries.
The
imperialist circles, backed with an active Zionist
involvement, are trying to undermine the close
Syrian-Lebanese relationship and push for the pullout of
Syrian troops from Lebanon. It is well known that the
Syrian military presence in Lebanon is a legitimate one
meant to maintain peace in the region and preserve
national security in both countries from Israeli
aggressive and expansionist policies, which has plenty
of precedents of aggression against both Lebanon and
Syria. Moreover, the Syrian military presence is
governed by bilateral agreements between two sovereign
brotherly countries.
The
aggressive circles rely on fueling sectarian tension in
Lebanon in order to further pressurize the
Syrian-Lebanese solid alliance, and they resort to
supporting war lords and tycoons and reactionary forces
and fuel their mad ambitions of total control over
Lebanon. Those forces are totally dominated by western
powers and they receive direct orders from foreign
ambassadors and at the same time make hostile assaults
on any form of cooperation between Syria and Lebanon.
Those hostile reactionary circles want the forthcoming
Lebanese parliamentary elections to turn into campaign
to form a council for prominent sectarian group leaders
emptying this democratic process from its intended goal.
The SCP therefore highly values the “country above
sectarianism” slogan raised by the LCP.
The
Central Committee pointed out to the shameful situation
in most Arab countries, which is even worst than that
prevailed back in the retrogression era. Arab leaders
tend now to speak a language different from that of
their people, and some Arab regimes are flagrantly
competing to please the imperialist Americans and even
the Zionist enemy itself. Those regimes are competing to
prove each one’s capacity to be the ideal gateway for
imperialist and Zionist plots and try to achieve this
goal by means of misguidance, deception, delusion and
exaggeration in order to alert against phony threats
invented in Western intelligence departments. Those
circles also try always to undermine any form of Arab
cooperation that may lead to Arab economic integration,
development and progress. The recent example of these
never-ending attempts was the Queens Protocol which
aimed at securing imperialist-Zionist penetration of
Arab economies and undermining any future Arab potential
economic integration, especially after the expanded
horizons created by GAFTA. However, all signs indicate
that public anger against those regimes is mounting and
that any sparkle could trigger a volcano of rage against
imperialists and their tools.
The
Central Committee highly valued Syria’s firm stand and
reaffirmed SCP’s total support in the face of increasing
pressure and threats and expressed that it firmly stands
by Syria’s foreign policy aimed at forming an alliance
to deal with the huge challenges ahead and effectively
confronting outside pressures. In this context, the
Central Committee highly valued the recent state visit
of President Bashar Assad to Russia and saw that
Syrian-Russian rapprochement will have positive results
since both countries have similar interests in various
fields. Moreover, this visit will reinforce the
geopolitical stand of both countries and help Syria’s
struggle against imperialist and Zionist threats. The
visit will have also many useful economic results as a
result of the remarkable deed by Russia to relive Syria
from the major part of its debts to Russia. The Central
Committee stressed that it is highly significant to
consider seriously what a number of Russian official
said about the importance of unhurriedly pursue the
economic transformation process and that the Russian
experience in this field shall be taken into
consideration.
The
Central Committee pointed out to the advantages of
developing relations with Latin American countries
pursuing their nations’ freedom from imperialist
domination such as Cuba, Brazil and Venezuela, and also
many countries in the world such as China, Iran and
others.
The
Central Committee also highly valued the outcome of the
meeting held between President Bashar Assad, Chairman of
the National Progressive Front, and Comrade Wisal Farha
Bagdash Gen. Secretary of the SCP and the SCP Political
Bureau. The Central Committee stressed that the frank
dialogue between comrades and alliances standing in the
same front line is the optimum way to fulfill our
people’s aspirations and reinforce public unity.
The
Central Committee upon reflecting on the economic
situation stressed what the Gen. Secretary Comrade Wisal
stated that a solid policy requires a solid economy.
This country is experiencing a fierce struggle in that
field between representatives of the comprador-like
neo-bourgeoisie who yearn for full openness or the
so-called economic liberalization, which is based on the
privatization of the private sector and open the door
wide open to foreign capital and abolish any state
economic role and eliminate social role of the state. It
is obvious that those calls take cover behind shiny
posters that tell about activating economic performance
and place a shaky economic basis that is meant to be the
application of the market economy cliché.
The
Central Committee, alongside a wide-range of national
powers and progressive thinkers warns against the
dangerous repercussions of trying to force such foreign
prescriptions, since recent examples show that most
countries who tried to do so lost their national
economic decision-making capacity to the advantage of
foreign cartels which led to the decline of national
production, weakening of social stability due to the
sharp class polarization, which led to mass poverty,
disappearance of the productive middleclass, and
national bourgeoisie eventually losing its economic
status for the advantage of the comprador
neo-bourgeoisie (organically attached to foreign
cartels) which firmly tightened its grip on its
country’s wealth.
The
Central Committee stressed that the best possible way to
develop our national economy is to protect and develop
national production and safeguard the pubic sector,
which is the socio-economic political foundation of our
country.
The
public sector has to be refined from all corrupt and
harmful elements in order to be competent and effective,
but this process is not being conducted unfortunately in
a way to fulfill public aspirations. It is also vital to
establish the rights of basic producers, workers,
farmers, and low-income people and protect their
interests and even protect the national bourgeoisie
against the neo-bourgeoisie offensive.
The
Central Committee also indicated that attempts to hide
economic liberalization calls behind the disguise of
market economy is nothing but hypocritical approach
since the measures to be taken to realize those goals or
only laws of the jungle. The market economy exists in
our country as it does in many parts of the world and
has been so for a long time. The market economy also
existed in the socialist bloc, and as long as national
production is being traded in the form of goods by means
of sell and by, this means that market economy actually
exists, and the SCP calls to maintain the state
socio-economic role to protect national production and
producers’ interest.
The
Central Committee also reflected on the new laws and
legislations passed recently which will have a deep
effect on the livelihood of a large proportion of the
society such as the Fundamental Law for State Workers
and the Law of Agricultural Relations. The central
Committee praised the communist MPs in their constant
defense of people’s rights and expressed its
dissatisfaction of the new formula of Agricultural
Relations Law, especially the provisions implying a
radical change in the owner-farmer relationship, which
seriously harm rights of farmers obtained after a long a
hard struggle assisted by all the progressive powers in
the country especially communists and Baathists and
called for removing this law’s negative aspects.
The
Central Committee also discussed the SCP popular
activities especially those conducted by the SCP’s
various organizations on the occasion of the 80th
anniversary of the Party’s formation, culminated with
the central mass gathering held at Al Faihaa court in
Damascus. The said activities were an appropriate
opportunity for Syrian communists to widen the scope of
intercommunication with the public in maintaining
Syria’s firm national stand. The Central Committee
expressed its deep appreciation and gratitude to all
comrades, friends and the Party and mass organizations
for their effective contribution in making this event a
success.
The
Central Committee studied and endorsed the report on the
Party’s various bodies and central bureaus.
The
last point on the agenda was studying the preparations
for the SCP 10th Congress, and after some
discussions, the congress’s candidate list was endorsed
and makeup of preparative committees approved.
The
Central Committee observed that the SCP 10th
Congress will be a milestone in the SCP struggle to
defend the country sovereignty and people’s livelihood.
The
Syrian communists would like to seize this opportunity
to vow to spare no effort in order to realize those
noble goals.
The
Central Committee by the last statement declares its
regular meeting concluded.

of the Party’s Supervision Committee and the districts’

After
reviewing the current political situation, the Central
Committee observed that the global atmosphere is more
tense due to the aggressive and expansionist policies of
imperialist powers, especially the US, towards nations
of the world, not merely for the purpose of subjecting
people of those nations to imperialist political
