RESOLUTION of the 2nd Conference of the Unified International Anti-Imperialist Anti-Fascist Front

(Bulgaria, Varna, October 26-27, 2019)

(taken as a basis)



Our 2nd conference of the Unified International Anti-Imperialist Anti-Fascist Front (EMAAF) is taking place in difficult times. In the world in different regions of the planet there is a further increase in tension: military conflicts are raging, terrorist attacks are taking place in which people are dying, and social tension is growing not only in third world countries, but also in the countries of the “golden billion”.

Despite the fact that Nazi fascism was crushed in 1945 and the fascist regimes in other countries were destroyed, neo-fascism is now entering the world political arena, again threatening humanity with military danger.

We, the delegates of the 2nd EMAAF Conference, note that the main reason for the aggravation of the situation on the planet is the deepening of the general crisis of the imperialist system, in which social injustice and inequality in society are intensified, and the greed of capital, which has no borders, is growing. Under imperialism, the contradictions and the struggle between imperialist countries over markets, sources of raw materials, for the seizure of foreign territories, for world domination are aggravated, which leads to rampant militarism and wars not only local but also global. As over 100 years ago, V.I. Lenin proved, wars under imperialism are inevitable.

The entire imperialist system requires a serious change in the existing political structure of power and is busy looking for a new structure if it does not want to acknowledge the fact that the essence of events in the world stems from the predetermined historically approaching collapse of the system of imperialism itself and its replacement with a socialist formation.

A protest movement against the existing imperialist system is intensifying throughout the world. Governments respond to this protest of the masses with gross suppression of actions, a further sharp infringement of the rights of citizens and the fascization of existing regimes.

The recent emergence of neo-fascism in various countries is a consequence of the crisis of the imperialist system. In order to fight modern neo-fascism, one must clearly understand WHAT is fascism in general. We, delegates of the 2nd EMAAF Conference, believe that the scientifically correct definition of fascism was given by George Dimitrov in a report at the 7th Congress of the Comintern in 1935: "Fascism in power is an open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialistic elements of financial capital."

We, the conference participants, noting that racism, chauvinism, militarism, and aggressiveness towards other countries are characteristic of fascism, we say: the absolutely necessary - regardless of specific conditions - the essence of fascism is anti-communism in the very direction of terror against workers.

We, the conference participants, having analyzed the whole situation, we note that the growing tension in the world is becoming a breeding ground for reactionary, ultranationalist, militaristic and neo-fascist forces to come to power, which invariably increases the danger of humanity slipping into the Third World War - the war of self-destruction.

    The destruction of the Soviet Union and the socialist camp led to the creation of a monopolar world in which the most important positions are occupied by the financial and monopolistic oligarchy of the United States, seeking to establish complete world domination, and this goal remains with any administration: democratic or republican. The main obstacle to the establishment of the American world order is now Russia, which the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has surrounded with military bases on all sides. Despite the fact that the Warsaw Pact Organization was liquidated in 1991, the aggressive NATO bloc, led by the United States, continues to exist and continues its “Eastward” policy, intervenes in the internal affairs of sovereign states and poses a major threat to unleash a new world war.

We, delegates of the 2nd EMAAF Conference, appeal to the world community to counteract both the economic and military expansion of Western countries in relation to the Russian Federation and to intensify the struggle for the elimination of the North Atlantic Alliance.



    In February 2014, in Ukraine, with the direct support of Western countries, primarily the United States, a coup d'etat was carried out, the Neo-Bandera came to power, i.e. modern Ukrainian fascists. The purpose of the coup under the leadership of the United States and other Western countries: the separation of Ukraine from Russia, the release of Ukrainian and Russian peoples in a fratricidal war, i.e. implementation of the ancient principle of the Roman emperors - divide and rule.

The people of Donbass did not come to terms with the coup and rose to a fair fight against neofascism, for the right to live by their own principles, for the right to speak their native Russian language. For this, he was tried to punish the Neo-Bandera government, which sent to the war in the Donbass APU and nationalist battlesThe people who ruthlessly bombed the peaceful cities of the Donetsk region, committing war crimes. But the neo-fascists received a strong rebuff from the militia of the DNI and LC and were defeated near Ilovaisk and Debaltsev.

For the sixth year, the conflict has not subsided in the South-East of Ukraine, despite the Minsk agreements concluded in 2015, as The conflict is beneficial to the financial oligarchy, both global and local.

Historical experience indicates that the attempts of some leaders of individual states to pacify the aggressors ended in grief for their peoples. The same experience suggests that the Nazis never voluntarily gave up power: they can only be defeated by military force, as was the case with Nazi Germany in 1945, or broken by the force of the united anti-fascist demonstration of the people, as was the case in France in 1934.

Therefore, we believe that until the neo-Bandera military units are disarmed, and the organizers of the war crimes of Ukrainian nationalists in Donbass, Odessa and other places in Ukraine are not convicted by a tribunal like the Nuremberg, a long-term reliable peace in Donbass is impossible.

We appeal to the world community to strengthen the campaign to condemn the crimes of the Neo-Bandera who came to power in 2014, and also demand from their governments the recognition of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, whose people voted in a referendum on May 11, 2014 for the state sovereignty of their republics. The legal right to self-determination of the population of Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics should be realized.

    We condemn the aggression of the Turkish military invading the territory of a sovereign Syrian state. There is no and there can be no reason to justify this aggression. The long-suffering Kurdish people, unjustly divided and forced to live on the territory of four neighboring states, have the right to uphold their national identity and decide their fate in accordance with international law.

    We express our extreme indignation and condemn the brutal police reprisals against the Government of Spain, which has thrown Spanish police units to suppress Catalan citizens who are in favor of Catalan independence.

Similar repression against the Catalans was carried out during the fascist regime of Franco, when there was a strict ban on the use of the Catalan language.

We are opposed to the imperialist dictates against the freedom-loving people of Catalonia.

    We strongly condemn the actions of the Polish leadership aimed at desecrating the memory of soldiers and officers of the Red Army, who, at the cost of their own lives, liberated the Polish people from the “brown plague” and played a decisive role in the victory over fascism.

We condemn any attempts by the Polish authorities to rewrite history, distort and revise the outcome of World War II, as well as the glorification of opponents of the Red Army, i.e. actually accomplices of Nazism.

We demand that the Polish government stop US assistance in preparing military aggression against Russia and its allies.

We demand that the Polish leadership repeal the law banning “communism as a totalitarian system” and stop the persecution of communists who support the restoration of a just socialist society in Poland and genuine fighters against imperialism, war and fascism.

We appeal to all progressive forces from around the world to condemn the decision of the Polish leadership to demolish the monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators.

    We strongly oppose the infringement of the rights and freedoms of the Russian-speaking population by the authorities of the Baltic states: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. We demand that the processions and mass events of former accomplices of the Nazi occupiers, who carried out a policy of genocide against Soviet citizens in the occupied territory during the Great Patriotic War, be banned in these states. We demand that the Estonian authorities stop fighting against monuments to Soviet soldiers, thanks to which Hitler’s fascism was crushed.

    We believe that the danger of the revival of fascism in Germany poses a special threat to peace in Europe, it was the misanthropic ideology of German Nazism that led to mass crimes during the Second World War and almost plunged mankind into the abyss of domination over the most reactionary forces.

Recently, the number of adherents of National Socialist ideology has been growing, the number of right-wing parties has been increasing, and there has been a steady tendency towards an increase in the number of acts of violence on their part. And the recent successes in the elections of the right-wing Alternative for Germany party make us think about the future of modern Germany. You must remember the lessons of history.

In 1932, Klara Zetkin, speaking in the Reichstag, said: "The demand of the moment is a united front of all working people in order to bring down fascism and thereby preserve the strength and power of organizations enslaved and exploited, and even their physical existence." But, unfortunately, a united frontthe left in Germany was never created, which ultimately led the German workers to tragic consequences.

Therefore, we urge all the left-wing forces of the FRG to create a united anti-imperialist anti-fascist front led by communists in order to counter the growing fascist danger.

    This March marked the 20th anniversary of the start of the brutal bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces, during which civilians, most of whom were Serbs, including children, were killed. NATO aggressors bombed the Serbs only because they defended Kosovo - the ancient cradle of Serbian culture - from Albanian invaders, who are puppets of the West, with arms in their hands. Western strategists are not satisfied with the Serbs, preventing them from establishing full control in the Balkans.

We declare our full support for the freedom-loving Serbian people in their just struggle to protect the integrity of the Republic of Serbia and the Republika Srpska, for upholding their national identity and for truthful coverage of the events that took place in Yugoslavia during its destruction. We demand the release of the hero of the Serbian people, General Ratko Mladic, the President of the Republika Srpska Radovan Karadzic and other heroes of the Serbian people who were illegally convicted by the so-called Hague Tribunal.

    We support the Communists of Bulgaria, who are fighting against the revival of fascism in Bulgaria and against the anti-Russian policies of the Bulgarian leadership, for the country's withdrawal from the aggressive NATO bloc and the elimination of NATO military bases.

    Currently, a wave of protests in Latin America has not subsided.

In Ecuador, protests began after President Moreno signed a decree abolishing subsidies for diesel and gasoline on October 3, which caused fuel prices to rise. After that, rallies began in several cities of the country, the participants of which demanded that the reform be abolished. To curb the just indignation of the people, the President of Ecuador introduced a state of emergency in the country.

Street protests broke out in the capital of Chile on October 18. They were caused by rising subway fares. Workers ’speeches grew into massive anti-government protests against socio-economic problems, including the wide gap between the incomes of the rich and the poor. The protests were accompanied by riots and clashes with the police, which killed 18 civilians.

The president of Brazil, with the advent of which a fierce pro-American dictatorship was established in the country, also ordered the army to prepare to suppress the protests.

We support the just struggle of the peoples of Latin America against their merciless exploitation by the American and local bourgeoisie.

We support the people of Venezuela and its president, Nicolas Maduro, against attempts by US imperialists to establish a regime under their control in the country.

We oppose the actions of the United States, which pursue a brutal genocide policy to strengthen the blockade and financial prosecution of the Cuban state, as well as hindering the supply of fuel to Cuba.

    We support the just struggle of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea against military blackmail by American imperialism.

The delegates of the 2nd conference of the Unified International Anti-Imperialist Anti-Fascist Front appeal to all progressive forces from around the world to create national anti-imperialist and anti-fascist fronts in their states. We urge the activists of the anti-imperialist anti-fascist movement to support our international organization and join the ranks of the United International Anti-Imperialist Anti-Fascist Front in accordance with the Charter of the EMAAF.

We call on the working people of different countries within the United International Anti-imperialist Anti-Fascist Front to strengthen the protest movement against the existing imperialist system. Governments respond to this protest of the masses with gross suppression of actions, a further sharp infringement of the rights of citizens and the fascization of existing regimes.

Under these conditions, the significance of the work carried out on the ground by the United International Anti-Imperialist and Anti-Fascist Front in the direction of uniting and rallying the efforts of diverse sections of the population protesting against the infringement and usurpation of citizens' rights and freedoms is significantly increasing. This struggle invariably leads to a struggle for a socialist society.

The future is socialism!
