The agenda of the biggest imperialist powers those who came together in the G8 summit at the beginning of July 2005 was, as usually, the problems concerning entire humanity: Such as "the hunger in Africa and the climate change". But, at the end of the summit, there were neither the debts of the poor countries -whose principal debt have been retaken many times through high interests-, were erased nor they took new decisions on stopping the air and nature pollution caused by them. On the contrary, the summit concentrated on the imperialist masters' conflict on hegemony and rivalry, the addition of new elements on the barbarity, brutality and colonialist oppressions that they put the people of whole world face to face with, the manoeuvres to impede the progress of mass movements against the imperialist war and globalisation, the exchange of imperialist experiences and intelligence over the revolutionary struggles, the continuation of attempts to find new solutions on the crisis of the system of imperialist relations and etc.

During the G8 summit, the people against the imperialist globalisation those who felt and sow in their real lives the consequences of the imperialist aggression and neo-liberal policies have flown to the streets in their hundred thousands under the slogan of "make poverty history". The wave of mass movement, which sometimes involved militant stance, targeting the G8 summit have become the agenda of whole oppressed world.

In the same process, on the day of 7 July, about 60 people died and hundreds were injured due to the bombings in three London undergrounds and one bus. A group called "Secret Organisation of al-Qaeda in Europe" and another group called "Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade" have claimed the responsibility of the attack.

Doubtlessly, we clearly state that such actions, which aim at the innocent people, do not serve the class and political interests of the oppressed; also, they are not compatible with the socialist outlook and the understanding of legitimate revolutionary violence, and so they are not acceptable. The uncontrollability, barbarity and bohemianism of the imperialist aggression and terror cannot justify selecting innocent, unprotected people as targets.

But the most interesting point is; whilst daily assassination of hundreds of people, including children, in Afghanistan, Kurdistan and Iraq do not take part in the agendas of the imperialist states and medias, the London bombings have immediately and comprehensively reacted the centres of imperialist propaganda and disinformation. The Muslim and Arab people were blamed immediately even when there was no definite proofs. It is being announced that "these attacks were against the civilisation, the life style of the West", but not the imperialist occupation and massacres, tortures and rapes in Abu Ghraib! They expressed the need for new "anti-terror laws". As usual, the subject "common struggle and dispositions against terrorism" started to become agendas of the urgent meetings of the international organisations such as NATO, UN and EU.

Under the "Islamic terrorism" demagogy, the USA and British imperialists are trying to lower the growing anger against the imperialist aggression and occupation, to search for ways how to come out in the Iraqi quagmire and to prepare excuse for attacks on Iran and Syria.

Israel Zionism wants to use the pretext of "clash of civilisations" as an opportunity to implement new massacres and tyranny on the Palestinian people.

The fascist Turkish regime tries to make this a step to attack PKK and Kurdish national movement. The Prime Minister, T. Erdogan, suggests an "International Platform against Terrorism".

Imperialist forces and world reactionary, at the same time, wants to turn these bombings into an instrument to impede and deflate the working class and labouring masses' movement that is showing tendency of development on national, regional and international level against the neo-liberal policies. The imperialist bourgeoisie tries to reorganise and settle the internal reaction on regional and local levels through reactionary-fascistic laws and new institutions under the circumstances of disinformation and manipulation. The real reason that lies behind the bombings, which turned London into a blood-river, is the British imperialism's concealing under a flood of blood the people of the world from Afghanistan to Iraq and to Palestine. Therefore, Bushs and Blairs -those who said "we are going to set up a new order in the Middle East", "we are going to bring democracy"- are responsible for the innocent lives lost in the bombings. The British imperialists, who want to get a piece from the plundering cake in Iraq, are the ones to blame. British imperialists' ambition for profit has cost the death of Londoners.

Therefore the British government, defending the interests of the imperialist monopolies, is the real felon. So, it must give an account to British people.

Bush and Blair are trying to acquit their war criminal and responsible positions under the sophistry of "fight against terrorism".

In this sense:

Firstly, a nation oppressing another nation cannot be free. The people in USA and Britain cannot live freely because of continuing occupation and war in Iraq. The USA, which carries out tortures in Abu Ghraib and GuantE1namo, cannot respect the human rights in its own country. The press cannot be free in there. The workers and labourers cannot get organised freely. So, the fight against internal reaction, the fight against neo-liberal attacks means the fight against imperialist war an aggression. The working class and peoples those who are not struggling against the imperialist occupation and aggression cannot keep in hand the political rights and freedoms.

Secondly, the interests of the working class and labourers in the imperialist countries have united with the interests of the people and labourers of the new-colonized countries, and this situation points out the need for a united struggle, solidarity and organisation in every sphere. Imperialist aggression and barbarity will be defeated by the united struggle and actions of the British working class, the peoples of Iraq and Middle East and the world working class and peoples on local, regional and international levels.
