Elections in Israel: The Abstentionism of the Party Against the Fraud

September 15, 2019

Proletarians!

The “civil society” is convulsed, the bourgeois electoral system in Israel at a crossroads.

Next September, a new general election, full of bourgeois contradictions and a worrying tendency towards apathy and general fatigue of the working class, must be repeated after an unfortunate election of the Prime Minister Netanyahu, where a coalition government could not be formed between the various currents of the bourgeois parties, whether they call themselves the left or right.

But what has drawn the most attention of bourgeois domination, has been the growing proportion of abstention.

It is not enough the indistinct and terrible means of propaganda and wash brain carried out today in the educational system of bourgeois capitalism, putting the democratic system above all political value to bring the proletariat closer to the polls in a massive way, not even the war drums and the living conditions to which they are subjected, in a state of paranoia and widespread alertness, in a running tendency to no felt in mendicancy.

It is clear that the survival of bourgeois rule and its democratic institutions is only possible because of the apathy of a large part of the working class. One could go so far as to say that the entire creation of the Israeli State as such depends on the sacred union between the classes and their predisposition to die in the constant wars.

Within the Arab proletariat, the value of Israeli democracy is more and more simply what it is: a fraud. One of the biggest abstentions, more than half of the population, shows the dissatisfaction with the political and social system destined to fail.

The capitalist social system, individualizing to the extreme, separating the proletarians from any form of union with different methods, in an abyss of personal perspective, egoistic and a social apathy with the consequence of the growing alienation of social relations.

Proletarians!

But it is the material conditions that today move the proletariat away from the bourgeois politics full of fraud, corruption, war and betrayal, and create in the proletarians hatred towards the entire corrupt political system, which tomorrow will drive it to the to the class struggle. With the deterioration of the material conditions of the life of the workers, the union between proletarians is a must, a necessity to defend their class interests.

Between these two variables, the foundations of the next revolution are laid, which includes not the “citizens” but the class regardless oft heir race, creed, or origin. No more citizens, but proletarians in struggle.

Our Party, organized today in the International Communist Party, owner of a unique strategy and tactics worldwide, the result of the study and historical experience of the communist movement, defends abstentionism not as a moral imperative against authority, nor as an abstract principle, but a real and proven tactic in the historical experience of strengthening the path of revolution, the empowerment of a lethargic working class, and that is why it calls proletarians to practical abstention.

And we say proletarians, no citizens, because as well as equality in bourgeois society it is a fraud, the same goes for the democratic decision of the most masked dictatorship over proletarians, and we include those who have no chance to vote, unlike all the fauna bourgeois.

We include them and tell them that the solution does not happen to obtain the right to vote, but the total suppression of the right to vote that is in itself, the right to fraud of the bourgeois dictatorship ad infinitum, and we call to organize around the workers’ struggles towards the formation of an Class Workers Union, and then organize as a class for themselves, in the Communist Party. This is and will be the first step for the emancipation of the proletarians in Israel, of a democracy that is now sinking, and that although it already demonstrates all its fierce repression against a part of the proletariat, in the near future it will do so even with the same Hebrew proletariat, which lives in awe of a fraudulent democracy, supposedly the only one in Middle East.
