Marxists Speak Out: Victory Day, against Nazism and Imperialism, yesterday and today: May 14th 2022 Panel

On May 14th 2022, a panel was organised to mark the anniversary of Victory Day on May 9, 1945 which marked the surrender of Nazi Germany in Berlin. The victory over Nazism was not the work of Russian nationalism, but of the proletariat of the Soviet Union against the greatest monster ever created by imperialism against communism. Hitler’s defeat was the second greatest victory of the world proletariat after the Bolshevik revolution. 77 years after the fall of Nazism, Western imperialism is once again using Nazi forces inside Ukraine as the spearhead of one of the largest military coalitions in history against a single country, a massive imperialist front as part of its wider war plans to dominate Eurasia through the subjugation of Russia.
This forum to be held on 14 May is aimed at groups of Marxists from around the world who see the current conflict in Ukraine in this context and therefore support:

• Russia’s right to self-defense against Western imperialism and for the defeat of NATO and imperialism in the war in Ukraine

• The right of the Donbas people in the Donetsk and Luhansk Republics to resist the Nazi forces sent against them by the Banderites of Kiev and their imperialist patrons

• The struggle against imperialism and fascism which have always been inseparable. The day of final victory over Nazism will be the day when humanity will have succeeded in completely defeating imperialism and capitalism.

It is part of ongoing efforts to build links between groups and individuals who wish to build a genuine anti-imperialist movement internationally based on Marxist principles.
