Party (CCP). The first group of people
"There is not a back the waves of the anger of the whole people; the people can no believe the poisonous longer scrap of truth words of the authorities who deceive the people. Therefore we who should be investigated for misappropriation of public funds are - Deng Xiaoping, Zhao Ziyang, Li Peng, Chen Yun, Li Xiannian, Yang Shangkun, Xi Zhen, Wan Li, write on our banner: science, democracy, liberty, human rights, a legal system.!
On April 21, 1989, in Beijing we officially founded the Workers recente m whole of China" Union of the city of Beijing in order to protect the interests of the workers and issued two documents - "Letter to the People of the City" and "Ten Questions". In an editorial on April 26, 1989, the People's Daily nevertheless treats us as reactionaries. Our reply is: since you do not dare to publicly answer our ten questions, publish our two documents. Have you not put forward for forty years the slogan "have confidence in the broad masses"? We demand the total repudiation of the editorial of April 26, and the severe punishment of whoever was responsible for this article, along with their clique behind the scenes.
We have carefully established the facts about the exploitation of the workers. The mode of exploitation has been analyzed according to the method taught by Karl Marx in Capital. We subtracted from the value of production: the workers' wages, premiums and benefits; socially necessary accumulation; the social facilities; and the expenses for the expanded reproduction of capital, and we have discovered to our amazement that the "people's public [state-owned] enterprises" are expropriating the whole of the surplus-value extracted from the sweat and blood of the people! The rise in exploitation is unheard of! Atrocious! Such is the flavour of the "specificities of China". Throughout the country, the "people's public enterprises" build, out of our sweat and blood, luxurious villas (protected by the army under the pretext that they are forbidden military zones) and deluxe automobiles. The functionaries organize pleasure trips (supposedly inspection visits), on which the officials take along their children and even their nurses! Women functionaries spend hours making themselves beautiful, while the male officials run after pretty women, and so on. It would take too long to recount all their villainies, not to say crimes.
Starting from the interests of the people and the nation, comrade Fang Lizhi expressed a correct point of view on the question: "what good does it do us to attract foreign capital?" We support and agree with him, because, as in the past, this "foreign capital" will be transformed by legal means into the individual fortunes of the degenerate officials. It is the left in the
THE documents of the students and workers organizations from the
Chinese May 1989 are now becoming known. We publish below a text from the Beijing Independent
Workers Union produced before the Tiananmen massacre. It is translated from the May 17 issue of
October Review, a revolutionary Marxist
Journal published in Hong
Kong.
### DOCUMENT nation that pays, while a "tiny handful" profits; It is the broad masses of the people that pay the debts. It is they who must do the accounting!
"The great market of the mandarins"
We are opposed to that brutal violation of human rights, the forcible sale of Treasury Bonds.2 We demand the publication of the incomings and outgoings of Treasury Bonds in recent years and how they have been used. We demand that the whole value of the Treasury Bonds currently in circulation amongst the population be restored, and the closing of the market in Treasury Bonds. This is the great market of the mandarins, the great resource of the degenerate
We repeat: in order to raise wages and stop inflation, it is necessary that the two, even three generations have similar wage levels. We call for the opening of an inquiry into the Heads of State and government, the Military Commission of the
Jiang Zemin, Ye Xuanping and their families. It is necessary to investigate at once the inspect the national registers of accounts, and publish the accounts for the whole popuThe students have matured! In front of Tiananmen, it is clear that millions of people uphold revolutionary order! The people have awakened! They have understood that in any society, in any epoch there are only two classes, the dominant class and the dominated. Those classes, parties and organizations that follow the current of history are progressive and revolutionary, those that resist are retrograde and reactionary.
This is the fundamental reason that, from the time of Qin Shi Huangdi to our days, the Chinese people has cherished "upright officials", and needs, praises and commemorates them....
At the present time we must be especially vigilant that political opportunists from the CCP do not profit from this democratic movement to achieve their objective of an autocratic usurpation of supreme power. Deng Xiaoping used the "April 5" popular movement and its repression to reveal his true colours after mounting the throne. The "successes of the reform" that they talk about are false and superficial. The reality is that the standard of living of the majority has fallen, while borrowing increases, on the assumption that the people will pay it back!
Comrade workers of the broad masses, it is urgently necessary to unite around the workers' unions, under the leadership of the workers' unions of the cities and push the present democratic movement to a new level. Our union is calling for a big workers' demonstration of the whole city to support the student movement and to launch a peaceful petition campaign.... The slogan of the demonstration is "There is not a scrap of truth left in the whole of 1. Legal system. Due to the weight of tradition and the effects of pseudo-Marxism, there are very few written laws in China, thus the insistent demand for a legal system with written laws. 2. The state forces employees to "invest" in stateissued bonds that then depreciate in value. 3. The first Chinese Emperor, 221-208 BC, infamous for his exceptional cruelty, tyranny and bloodthirstiness.
