[Editor's Note] On September 9, 2022, the official website of the left-wing website "Defend Communism" published an article. The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of the United Kingdom issued a statement on the death of Elizabeth II , emphasizing the abolition of the monarchy and demanding that the United Kingdom become a real modern republic.
The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of Britain issued the following statement on the death of Elizabeth Windsor, Queen Elizabeth II:
The death of Elizabeth Windsor emphasized to our generation and the working people of the United Kingdom that abolishing the monarchy is still an urgent and important The problem.
It is now clearer than ever that Britain must become a modern republic. A corrupt and backward aristocratic sect cannot and will never truly reflect the interests of the working people in the UK.
We believe that imposing an extremely rich, unrepresentative, unelected head of state is an offense to all working people, and at the same time, it is not just an important issue of democracy and the principle of equality of .
This monarchy remains an important symbol and tool for the British state and its maintenance of autocratic rule.
Despite many remarks to the contrary, the monarchy continues to hold important powers, including choosing a government, under the broken British constitution. Under such circumstances, the monarchy has long endangered people's democracy and social progress.
The wealth and royal industry of the royal family, namely the large tracts of land and resources of Britain, were the wealth stolen from the working people of this country and the oppressed and exploited people of the British colonies for centuries.
monarch is not only the head of state of the United Kingdom, but also the head of state of various former colonies and the head of the Commonwealth. This plays an important symbol and role in maintaining the global status of British imperialism.
The UK's state and monopoly media have and will continue to regard Elizabeth Windsor as a "tiring public servant". In fact, no one would define public services as follows: No one has ever worked in 96 years of life, living in dirty wealth every day, surrounded by poor people, and doing nothing to change this A status quo.
Elizabeth Windsor never criticized Britain's racist colonial empire. She never criticized or apologized for her infamous racist husband. For the sake of the British nation, she never shy away from dating with dictators. She even used public funds to provide legal defense to her son who has a pedophile.
Elizabeth Windsor is also a symbol of the old, corrupt and racist system. Her monarch is hereditary, unrestrained power and the arrogance of endless wealth. The British ruling class will try to use this death to divert attention from the so-called cost of living crisis and industrial activism and disrupt strike action through the state and media. We cannot let their calls for “unity” and “respect” succeed, which are actually demands of class cooperation.
Charles should never be the "king". Elizabeth 's death should be the death of the monarchy itself.
The British Communists demanded: the monarchy will be abolished immediately and replaced by democratically elected heads of state.
nationalizes royal property and requisitions the royal family's personal wealth for the public interest.
redistributes and compensates all wealth stolen by the royal family from the former British colonies.
defeated the monarchy!
for republic!
For real democracy and socialism!
