For several weeks now, thousands of young Moroccans have been taking to the streets, expressing a simple and just cry: decent hospitals, schools for all, a life worth living, an end to corruption, freedom, etc.

Rightly so. But how does the Cherifian and Makhzenian, that is, royalist, state respond? Well, it responds to the population by unleashing its watchdogs (police, Royal Gendarmerie, army, etc.) and therefore with sticks, truncheons, arrests, threats, and intimidation, etc. Moreover, more than a hundred young people have been arrested in several major cities of the kingdom: Rabat, Casablanca, Kenitra, Marrakech, Agadir, Fez, to name only the major cities. Well, these are the masks that are falling and thus, here is the true face of the « open » and « moderate » Moroccan regime, and this confirms as always what can be considered a historical law, namely that when either the interests of the State and/or the wallet of the masters are affected or simply targeted, well the State does not hesitate for a moment to repress those who dare to claim their rights, even a little. And likewise, even when it is « democratic » or deemed as such, the State is not a « neutral » arbitration body « above classes and class interests », and it is nothing other than the supreme political, economic and social organization of the power of the capitalist masters, exploiters and their servants.

WHILE STADIUMS ARE BEING BUILT FOR THE BOURGEOISIE AND A FEW VERY RICH PEOPLE, IT IS POVERTY FOR THE WORKERS AND THE LACK OF FUTURE FOR THE YOUTH AND THE REST OF THE POPULATION!

Yes, while the brutal and corrupt regime builds stadiums to host the 2030 World Cup and other games and devotes itself to the prestige and spectacle of the bourgeoisie, and while it spends fortunes to improve its image among its masters in international big business and imperialism, hospitals are death traps, because they lack doctors, medical and paramedical staff, equipment, medicines, and everything necessary to provide quality care. Similarly, schools are overwhelmed by the number of students, with teachers who are underpaid and despised, and families who have to fend for themselves.

Capitalism and its symbol of power in Morocco, namely the royalty that represents it, have chosen: to invest in luxury for the sake of a pseudo-prestige, arrogant and vain in order to present a beautiful showcase, the true hidden side of reality, and by definition invests in everything that brings profit to the bourgeoisie, to what is dedicated to them and their partners. And meanwhile, the popular and working classes of the population are dying in the total indifference of the Makhzen royal regime, if not in contempt on its part.

THE GEN’Z MOVEMENT IS A TOTALLY INDEPENDENT STRUGGLE THAT COMES NEITHER FROM PARTIES NOR UNIONS NOR THEIR BUREAUCRATS

This movement is new, fresh, vibrant, and full of hope for the future. It doesn’t come from the old traditional political parties, which for decades have promised the earth but delivered nothing in the way of results. It isn’t even linked to them, nor does it have any connection with the bureaucratized trade unions, which, as always and everywhere, are mired in « social partnership » and, as a result, negotiate behind the backs of workers for a few crumbs and to get the damage done under the best possible conditions, in addition to being linked to the Makhzen government.

No, this movement comes directly from the youth, from those who enter the struggle on their own, and is self-organized, that is, it organizes and operates without a leader, without leaders, hierarchy, or any kind of leadership, and without corrupt apparatuses, even though a perspective to guide them is lacking. These are groups that organize themselves, that communicate, that come together, and then take to the streets together. This is where the spirit of working-class and popular solidarity lies: the strength that rises from below, without waiting for a supreme savior. It is towards this strength that we must orient ourselves and it is on this that we must bet.

WHAT THIS STRUGGLE TEACH US AND WHAT CAN BE PROPOSED:

• Healthcare and education are not commodities and therefore do not have to be paid for. They must be completely free to be truly accessible to everyone and managed democratically by those who work for them, benefit from them, and make them a living (the workers concerned, users, other staff, etc.) within the framework of self-management. Access to these amenities must be a completely inalienable right, regardless of the means at one’s disposal, and it is not up to the « State, » much less to multinationals and corrupt private individuals interested only in money, to guarantee them.
• Self-organization is the key to deepening the revolution and its democratic orientation. A perspective and principles, yes! But no bosses, no leaders, and instead, make way for popular assemblies, gathering workers, peasants, and youth, make way for struggle committees, for horizontal and democratically self-managed collectives. It is together, through direct action, that we will win our rights and our freedom.
• Repression will not stop anger! Do not be intimidated by repression. Therefore, every arrest must meet with a collective and united response. Solidarity with the prisoners! For their unconditional release! Mutual support against police violence! Let us remember that the power of the state is in the minority, as are our masters, and that all this is nothing in the face of organized solidarity.
• Call for the splitting of the sovereign forces (Police, Royal Gendarmerie, and army) to disarm this regime, deepen the ongoing revolution, and ensure its success!

Everything is connected: healthcare, education, but also work, housing, standard of living, and above all… real direct democracy and the freedom that goes with it. The population’s misery is global, so the fight must be too. We must put an end to this rotten capitalist system and its dictatorship of money that keeps us on a leash!

OUR PERSPECTIVE: LIBERTARIAN COMMUNISM,
ANARCHO-SYNDICALISM AS A MILITANT TOOL

For us, revolutionary, anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist militants, this struggle is not a simple protest. It is a wind of freedom but it also reveals the total bankruptcy of capitalism and the State and the royal system, as well as the decadence of the monetary system, plus its harmfulness. Yes, as long as the current masters have not been driven from power, as long as the bourgeoisie is not driven from its positions and expropriated and as long as wealth, heritage and decisions remain concentrated in the hands of this ever more parasitic Royal minority, well we will have only crumbs, despite our struggles and what is more, which will be taken from us by another hand at the slightest opportunity, sooner or later. Because the existence of social gains and democratic rights and freedoms, even if they can be wrested (with a hard struggle nonetheless) in capitalism, are not at all compatible with the existence of capitalism and money, especially in a country where parliamentary democracy and/or a constitutional monarchy are the preserve of castles in Spain.

We must gain access to healthcare and education, but at the same time we must wrest true democracy and our freedom! It is time to liberate ourselves, whether the State, the King and his despotic system, and capital more generally, want it or not. We must expropriate the bourgeoisie, that is, collectivize all the means of production, confiscate all its assets, both as capitalists and as a royal family, and in fact, socialize these tools of production and these goods by placing them in the hands of workers, peasants, residents, etc. and ensuring their common ownership by those who bring them to life and benefit from them, with democratic self-management ensured through these omnipresent, federated councils, and destroying/replacing this power.

We must build a community-based social and popular system functioning without a state, government, or any other power, as a social system also functioning without masters or exploiters, truly democratic, direct democracy, in which those who produce and live will decide collectively and will have free and open access to all the conveniences of practical life according to their needs..

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING! THE REVOLUTION IS JUST BEGINNING! CALL TO OVERTHROW ROYALTY AND DEVELOP INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY!

The struggle of Moroccan youth is ours too. Internationalist solidarity requires it. What is happening in Rabat or Casablanca is only the beginning of the breath of the wind of freedom, which could sound the death knell of this brutal, corrupt and parasitic royalty and this story could also be written in Paris, Algiers, Tunis, Madrid and so on, because on the one hand, everywhere, capitalism has had its day and on the other hand, it is the WORLD that libertarian communism has to win. The State, capitalism and money are not only obsolete and senile but in any case are only useful to a handful of ultra-minority parasites who have it and who sacrifice our lives for their profits and their arrogant and contemptible prestige. Everywhere, youth, workers are rising up, as also in Nepal, Indonesia, Madagascar, etc…. That said, it should be noted for a country like Morocco that even if the abolition of the monarchy would be a major and highly symbolic step forward, it would not be an end in itself; it would be only a step, just a means, because fundamentally, it is the entire ruling edifice of this country that must be brought down and dismantled. Not a single stone of this edifice must remain. And this revolutionary approach does not consist of abolishing the royal domination of the state, but rather abolish the class and capitalist domination, without forgetting the instruments that keep us on a leash, such as capitalist property relations, money, etc. So we call for:

– To relay the voice of these struggles and of freedom everywhere!

– To denounce and weaken repression and deepen the ongoing revolution! This is only the beginning! The revolution must deepen and continue!

– To split the regal and military forces of repression! – To capture the royal palace in Rabat, not to « take power, » but to bring down the monarchy and dismantle its key positions of power, and then ultimately to dismantle the state and government from top to bottom!

– To replace the state and government with a federation of workers’, peasants’, and residents’ councils, federated, autonomous, horizontal, and self-managed!

– To forge direct links between our struggles, beyond borders, starting with neighboring and sister countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, etc.)!

– To stimulate an African social revolution because workers’ solidarity is international, if we want to see the birth of freedom!

LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE OF YOUTH AND WORKERS!

LET’S TRANSFORM THIS STRUGGLE INTO A TRUE REVOLUTION!

IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF PRISONERS!

DISMANTLING OF THE REPRESSIVE FORCES OF THE ROYAL STATE!

DOWN WITH THE MONARCHY, THE STATE, AND CAPITAL! KING MOHAMMED VI, GET OUT!

FOR THE DISMANTLING OF THIS POWER AND ITS REPLACEMENT WITH FREE AND FEDERATED COUNCILS!

WE HAVE A WORLD TO WIN! LONG LIVE PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM!

LONG LIVE FREEDOM! LONG LIVE LIBERTARIAN SOCIALIST DEMOCRACY! AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY, NO BOSS, NO STATE, NO MORAL ORDER!
