Glory to the martyrs! Victory to the revolution!
What is happening today is the largest popular revolution in the history of our country and of the entire Arab world. The sacrifice of our martyrs has built our revolution and we have broken through all the barriers of fear. We will not back down until the criminal "leaders" and their criminal system is destroyed.

Mubarak's departure is the first step, not the last step of the revolution

The handover of power to a dictatorship under Omar Suleiman, Ahmed Shafiq and other cronies of Mubarak is the continuation of the same system. Omar Suleiman is a friend of Israel and America, spends most of his time between Washington and Tel Aviv and is a servant who is faithful to their interests. Ahmed Shafik is a close friend of Mubarak and his colleague in the tyranny, oppression and plunder imposed on the Egyptian people.

The importance of the victory of the Tunisian masses is not limited to the successful overthrow of Ben-Ali, ending 23 years of dictatorship.

The Tunisian Revolution refutes the arguments that had been disseminated by many right-wing intellectuals over the past few decades that the Arab masses are incapable of achieving revolutionary change, and that the times of revolution are over.

The wide popular anger that took over the whole of Tunisia has reaffirmed that the masses make their own history and that class struggle is alive all over the Arab world. The Tunisian Revolution has also struck a hammer blow to the chain of alliances dominated by the United States, but also orchestrated by lesser powers such as France and Britain, that keeps the Middle East and North Africa subject to Western imperialism and allows Israel to oppress the Palestinians with impunity.

Nota da TSl/IST sobre a Revolução Tunisiana

A importância da vitória das massas tunisianas não se limita ao bom êxito da derrubada de Ben Ali, acabando com 23 anos de ditadura.

A Revolução Tunisiana refuta os argumentos que tinham sido divulgados por muitos intelectuais de direita ao longo das últimas décadas de que as massas árabes são incapazes de buscar mudanças revolucionárias, e que os tempos da revolução se foram.

A grande revolta popular que tomou conta da Tunísia reafirma que as massas fazem sua própria história, e que a luta de classes está viva em todo o mundo árabe. A Revolução Tunisiana também golpeou a rede de alianças dominada pelos Estados Unidos, mas também sustentada por potências menores como a França e a Grã-Bretanha, que mantém o Oriente Médio e Norte da África sujeitos ao imperialismo ocidental e permitem a Israel oprimir os palestinos impunemente.

Statement der International Socialist Tendency zur Revolution in Tunesien

Die Bedeutung des Siegs der tunesischen Massen beschränkt sich nicht nur auf den Sturz von Ben-Ali, das Ende von 23 Jahren Diktatur.

Die tunesische Revolution widerlegt die Aussagen, die viele rechte Intellektuelle in den letzten Jahrzehnten gemacht haben, nämlich, dass die arabischen Massen unfähig wären, revolutionäre Veränderungen zu erreichen, dass die Zeit der Revolutionen vorbei sei.

Der Zorn der Bevölkerung, der ganz Tunesien eingenommen hat, zeigt wieder, dass die Massen ihre eigene Geschichte machen, und dass der Klassenkampf in der gesamten arabischen Welt lebendig ist. Die tunesische Revolution war auch ein schwerer Schlag gegen das Netzwerk von Allianzen, die von den USA dominiert werden. Aber auch kleinere Mächte wie Großbritannien und Frankreich nehmen an diesen Bündnissen teil, die den mittleren Osten und Nordafrika dem westlichen Imperialismus unterordnen und Israel erlauben, ungestraft die Palästinenser zu unterdrücken. Die Revolution hat ein Regime gestürzt, ...
