Leaflet for informational action before the beginning of the Week against Borders and Deportations.
Throughout Europe, the ugly head of anti-immigrant politics is again showing its face. People fleeing war, poverty, political persecution and ecological catastrophe find it more and more difficult to escape, imprisoned by States in national borders. Some European countries like France or Holland even make policies to deport EU citizens, exposing the real nature of the EU's supposed “freedom of movement”;
it is not really for everybody. The real freedom is for capital and all that serves it.
While Poles go abroad to work, sometimes being exposed to poor, precarious working conditions, local businesspeople import more and more workers to Poland as a new, cheaper and easier to control
workforce. Often they do not enjoy the same conditions as Poles, they are discriminated against and have many of their basic rights violated. And these are the LEGALLY EMPLOYED. The situation of the
many immigrants forced to work in the black economy can be much, much worse.
ZSP stands in solidarity with workers, people who are just trying to make their living and survive. We understand that workers are forced to compete against each other by the system that makes the
desperate agree to take as little as possible in order to survive. Sometimes this causes people to go against people just like themselves, which is much easier than going against what the real problems are - capitalism, exploitation and the State. We call on workers to unite and organize, regardless of country of origin, to defend their rights, improve working conditions and build organizations to overthrow this exploitative system and organize for workers' self-management.
We also call for the end of the policing and hunting of immigrants and the closure of Frontex, immigrant catching and migration control agency, headquartered in Warsaw. For freedom of movement, but against
the misery which is often the real story behind immigration. Against the artificial borders that divide people! Solidarity and mutual aid between people, throughout the world, against oppression and exploitation!
