The production of economic and social crises is an inherent feature of the brutal and unjust system of capitalism based on private ownership of the means of production. Imperialists resort to criminal methods to temporarily escape from crises. They fire workers, allocate financial resources to produce weapons and fund war, and in this way, they start wars to dominate new markets and expand political and economic hegemony. In the ocean of ​blood of children and innocent people, they hunt for their target goldfish.

I speak on behalf of the International Anti-Fascist Information Center, which was founded this year in Moscow by anti-fascists from various countries. We send you the warmest greetings and wish the congress every success.

Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism, has been the source of evil including war, slaughter, poverty, inequality, and environmental destruction, and has driven humanity to the brink of extinction, over the past 100 years. However, in recent decades, signs of collapse of the imperialist world system have become clear and the pace of collapse is increasing.

The "Federal Association of Workers' Photography" (Bundesverband Arbeiterfotografie) supports the peace conference "For a true and just peace - stop the third world war". It demands - not only for Germany: "NATO out" and "Get out of NATO", in particular "NATO out of Eastern Europe!" Its complete declaration follows.

On October 27th and 28th, anti-imperialist organisations and parties from around the world are meeting in Rome for the Peace Conference – under the banner “Stop the Third World War – for a true and a just peace”. We believe this conference, growing out of opposition to NATO’s reckless proxy war against Russia, is an important step towards building a new internationalist anti-imperialist movement. The letter below, addressed to the those attending the conference, was endorsed by classconscious.org, the LCFI, Bolshevik Group South Korea and the Socialist Unity Party.

Two sentences of the statement at the beginning: "We want to achieve, in alliance with peace forces in other NATO countries, that NATO, as the most aggressive war alliance in the world, is banned from the whole of Europe." And: "We oppose war in all its forms - military as well as those waged by economic, biological and psychological means." This is the way peace movement has to go and the peace conference "For a true and just peace - stop the third world war" already goes.

The organized workers’ movement world over has struggled, not only to fight some of these most recent offensives of the ruling class, but even to properly recognize them as such. Our goal is to overcome this. Simultaneously, we agitate with a socialist perspective from within the diffuse movement which has arisen in Germany against our bourgeoisie's politics of crisis, waged primarily under these three banners.

The Appeal, launched by the Fronte del Dissenso together with other European and international movements, as well as thousands of citizens, dozens of political organizations and social movements from different countries and continents have signed: from Germany to Russia, from Greece to Ukraine, from Afghanistan to the USA, from India to South Korea, from China to Palestine, from Venezuela to Australia.

The imperialist countries, led by the USA, have begun a global war against the world proletariat and the working- and impoverished-classes in order to protect the hegemony of the imperialist-capitalist system from collapse and to prolong the existence of the capitalist means of production.

Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear friends of peace, the neutralist citizens' movement “NEUE DIRECTION” from Germany sends best regards and wishes for this conference. Unfortunately, for several reasons - including both professional and health reasons - we were unable to send a representative to Rome.
