Berkeley, Missouri, December 23 — These racist cops kill with impunity! A kkkop murdered 18-year-old Black teen Antonio Martin on the night of December 23. The incident took place here just a few miles from Ferguson, the site of the racist murder of Michael Brown. Over 300 people rallied, setting off fireworks and throwing bricks and rocks at the police.
Bosses are now spreading their racist slander against this Black teen murdered by cops, but they paint their kkkops as heroes. In New York City, the mayor banned protests in “respect to mourn” the two cops killed.
These racist bosses have nothing to offer our class, not even sympathy. That’s because the bankers and politicians make money off the terrorization and genocide of the working class. Capitalism is the real criminal. Cops and bosses can get away with murder while the working class gets terrorized, deported, disappeared, starved, and killed — all legal under capitalism.
This is war against our class. The bosses preach peace and shoot bullets. The state of Missouri has spent over $12.5 million since Ferguson to quell protests.
Workers and youth in Missouri will continue to rebel and will have the backing of the international working class. Justice for Mike Brown, Vonderrit Myers, and Antonio Martin will come from the working-class burying this murderous system once and for all. This means a violent communist revolution.
We are organizing on our jobs and in our schools, churches, unions, military and many other places where workers are present. We are building a mass movement to combat police terror, imperialist wars and their root cause: capitalism. Spark walkouts, strikes, rebellions and turn them into armed struggle for communist revolution. In the process, we are winning workers and youth to see that racist terror will end only when the working class takes power with communist revolution. Our strategy is to build a Party of millions leading millions more, across all borders.
