About Boycotting “the Elections”
The leadership of the Worker-communist Party of Iraq waited long for an answer to their “democratic” questions regarding fairness and freedom of elections. When no one cared to answer or even to call for discussing these conditions, they decided to boycott the elections.
It wanted to correct its first illusion ...with a second one.
In the first position they recognized implicitly that the elections possess credibility when they forwarded their conditions, which were, to say the least, naive and “cosmetic”. They denied the reality entirely and its circumstances in which that process is supposed to take place. They considered what has been planned as elections, however in need of improvements, in order to be able participate.
In the second position (boycotting) they have boycotted what holds no value to the people and bears no meaning in the actual reality. They boycotted something that does not exit. They gave this nonsense its absent meaning and bestowed tragedy features upon a farce. The denial of something confirms its existence. They confirmed once again that what is taking place is elections.
They erred again.
What happens today in Iraq bears no similarity to the attribute of elections. Therefore the process could not be possibly negated (whether by boycotting or otherwise). Elections must be submitted to the main conditions i.e. the end of the US occupation and the disarmament of all militias, Islamic, nationalist, and Ba’thists, in order to end or paralyze the Dark Scenario and its criminal forces that are controlling the destiny of the society in Iraq.
Without these conditions, the planned elections are mere nonsense and consequently their boycott is an adopted twaddle. It suffices to ask any worker or toiler in Baghdad or Fallujah today: what is your opinion of boycotting the elections?!.
Hoping the answer to this question would be decent!.
