In order to safeguard the wealth they have robbed from us and insure more profits, it is in the interests of the capitalist class to have a divided working class A working class that is divided is one that is not capable of defending itself or fighting in its own interests. The capitalists have a vast array of tools of oppression to keep the working class divided. They continually promote discord among us to keep us weak, fighting among ourselves, fighting against our class brothers and sisters throughout the world. The ruling class attempts to keep us under their thumbs with their repressive state apparatus and ideological illusions. We are an organization that fights for class unity. We see that only with a united working class and its allies can an effective fight be waged against the ruling capitalist class. This unity must not be based on paper or words, but in actual facts – in deeds. This unity must be based on the struggle in our own interests – political working unity – a unity in common struggle against monopoly capitalism. We say that our unity cannot be an abstraction, but has to take place and develop in struggle. Only with this type of objectively honest unity can we take the “divide and rule” strategy of capital and make it a shambles. Only with this type of unity can we take up the struggle for the emancipation of our peoples and our class; our victory over a common enemy.
We see the main pillars of monopoly capitalist rule in the United States are the oppression of national minority people, the oppression of women and the dissemination of bourgeois ideology. These keep the working class divided. Men are pitted against women, white people against non-white people, etc. It is important to realize that these are not just a bunch of bad ideas that represent divisiveness in American society, but that there are material conditions that exist as part of this economic system which perpetuate these divisions.
