Fredsbevegelsen fortsetter å organisere seg og demonstrere i USA. 18. mars blir det en ny demonstrasjon i Washington mot krigen i Ukraina og for fredsforhandlinger. Demonstrasjonen skjer på 20-årsdagen for krigen i Irak, og knytter seg dermed direkte til fredsbevegelsens tradisjoner i USA og motstanden mot USAs permanente kriger. Denne fredsbevegelsen ser også sammenhengen mellom krigen og angrepene på folks levevilkår. Hovedparolene er:
Fund People’s Needs, Not the War Machine!
Peace in Ukraine – Say NO to Endless U.S. Wars!
I oppropet for demonstrasjonen heter det:
Krigen i Ukraina og sanksjonene mot Russland gjør det vanskeligere for folk å klare seg, betale husleia, fylle bensintankene, sette mat på bordet og holde lysene på.
Mye av skaden skyldes sanksjonene mot Russland, en stor produsent av alt fra olje til hvete. Den amerikanske sentralbanken innrømmer at konflikten «presser opp inflasjonen» samtidig som den bremser veksten.
For å bekjempe inflasjonen må vi avslutte USAs massive internasjonale sanksjonsregime og kreve at de slutter å sende våpen for å gi næring til Ukraina-krigen, og slutte å blokkere fredsforhandlinger.
Wall Street Journal sier nå: «Gassprisene vil stige igjen etter som sanksjoner mot Russland trer i kraft,» mens økonomer som er eksperter på global økonomi sier det «massive krigssjokket» vil produsere ny inflasjon, svekke selvtilliten og husholdningenes kjøpekraft.»
USAs sanksjoner mot Venezuela og Iran vil ytterligere påvirke markedet for olje og gass og drive opp prisene på de fleste varer og driver klimakrise ødelegger planeten.
Det er tydelig som alltid at USAs egen politikk med sanksjoner, og proxy-krigen som ble provosert fram av NATOs politikk, direkte fører til levekostnadskrise for arbeiderklassen, mens det militærindustrielle komplekset og Wall Street blir rikere.
Dette er kriminelt – tiden for å handle er nå!
Demonstrasjonen er helt i tråd med den amerikanske fredsbevegelsens og arbeiderklassens beste tradisjoner, og bredden i bevegelsen øker. Denne formen for fredsbevegelse er også klassekamp. Et nytt element er at også organisasjoner på høyresida omfavner denne kampanjen mot krigshysteriet og angrepene på folks levestandard.
Norsk venstreside skiller seg negativt ut fordi flertallet av den entydig har tatt stilling for krigsindustrien og det korrupte oligarkregimet i Ukraina og godtar krigsbevilgninger som vil gå på bekostning av arbeiderklassens levevilkår i mange år framover.
