Against the Bosses' Attack and Against the Regime's Union that Divides the Struggles, a United Class front!

On the occasion of the national general strikes called on different dates by the grassroots unions and the CGIL, the party distributed the following leaflet among the participants in the related demonstrations, reiterating the party’s historic position on the matter.

In view of the general rearmament proclaimed by the major imperialist states, a prelude to the spread of conflict on an increasingly global scale, the ruling class in Italy, and the state on its behalf, is also gathering and directing economic resources towards war mobilization (rather than hospitals and schools!). But, while on the one hand it is preparing to put further pressure on the conditions of the proletariat, it is also aiming to appease the middle classes and the worker aristocracy in order to secure their support. This is why the recent Budget Law provides for more substantial tax advantages for higher incomes, while they are practically negligible for the majority of proletarians.

A general strike has been called for November 28 by grassroots trade unions to protest against this Budget. This strike has then been undermined by the CGIL, which has instead called for mobilization on December 12.

This behavior, which they would like to justify with difference in “platforms” put forward, is unacceptable because it divides workers and weakens the struggle!

Inversely proportional wage increases (higher for the lowest paid)!

Full wages for the unemployed!

These are the basic demands of a single platform that must be put forward by a united trade union front!

It is clear that, faced with the prospect of a war economy, where the conditions of the working class will be severely attacked, it is essential that it unites in a single organization: a class-based union which, against the sacrifices demanded in the name of the national economy and war mobilization, pursues a policy aimed at the uncompromising defense of workers’ living conditions!

By taking this path, the proletarian class will once again find its Party, capable of leading it on the only viable path to its emancipation, which does not pass through parliamentary democracy, but moves towards communist revolution!

Florence, November 28 and December 12, 2025
