This programme of the communists would be the basis for the unity of the international workers’ movement in their struggle against capital, for the defence and recognition of national sovereignty and anti-imperialist stance of all oppressed and exploited people, and for the achievement of democracy for all nations.
Since this was a war of re-division of the spheres of influence among the imperialists, the parties and organisations of these countries which joined this attack had the responsibility of revealing the participation and the aims of their country’s imperialism.
Unless our parties rely on this tendency of the workers’ movement and overcome the weaknesses which restrict their ability to utilise and expand the opportunities presented by this tendency, their assertion to win over the working class leaders and to rebuild themselves as real parties of the proletariat will be a hollow one.

In a country such as Tunisia, the Tunisian proletariat and people are struggling at the same time against the fascism of the government and the fundamentalists ("the fascism of earth and heaven").

 Hamma Hammani on the situation in Tunisia
The Communist Party of the Workers of Tunisia [PCOT] has always been the object of repression of the government, of the regime of Ben Ali.
The human rights militants, that is the Tunisian League for the Defense of the Rights of Man, the members of the General Union of Students of Tunisia, every opposition or every thought of opposition is repressed at present in Tunisia.

 Letter to Colin Powell urging U.S action in favor of Tunisian political prisoner (Human Rights Watch Press release, )
Human Rights Watch is writing to urge a strong intervention by the United States in favor of the release of Tunisian political prisoner Hamma Hammami, as well as all other persons imprisoned in Tunisia for their political opinions and nonviolent political activities.
Hammami is serving a three-year, two-month sentence for activities related to the political party of which he is spokesman, the Tunisian Communist Workers Party (PCOT).
Such declarations, in the absence of any public expressions of concern about human rights, are likely seen by Tunisian authorities as U.S. acquiescence in their use of the struggle against terrorism and extremism as a cover for silencing all critics of the government, be they Islamist, leftist, liberal, human rights activists, or disaffected public servants.
