About Us
Internasyonalismo is a blog dedicated to develop and enrich appreciation of Marxist methods by engaging in serious discussion and debates on burning issues that affect the working class and the broader society in general. It is run by the Internasyonalismo group in the Philippines that is defending the following political positions:
At the onset of the 20th century, particularly since the First World War of 1914, capitalism has been a decadent social system.
The working class is the only revolutionary class with a historic interest to put an end to the exploitative dynamics of capitalism, and that all other classes seek only to preserve them in their effort to fight for reforms and nationalism.
Workers emancipation is only possible if all workers of the world unite and overthrow capitalism.
The struggle of the working class has to be international and internationalist in nature, or it is nothing. Socialism in one country is just an illusion perpetuated by Stalinism, just as Maoism, "Leninism" and Trotskyism alike perpetuate the mystification of the necessity of proletarian support to nationalist struggles.
There has never been a true socialist country in the world. Cuba, China, Vietnam, the former USSR and the rest of the former so-called Eastern bloc were not socialist but rather state capitalist countries hiding behind the banner of socialism.
The ruling class in all nations of the world is the historic adversary of the working class and making alliances with them, whether permanent or temporary, is antithetical to its historic class interest.
The struggle for national liberation and democracy under the guise of anti-imperialist campaign is nothing but a bourgeois call to save capitalism. It is devoid of progressive character as the opportunity for capitalist relations to grow no longer exist.
Trade unionism and parliamentarism in the decadent stage of capitalism are implements of capitalism that only serves to delay a socialist proletarian revolution. The fight for reforms seeks only to preserve the decadent capitalist mode of production.
