The antiwar movement in the United States has decided to organize marches on Washington and San Francisco on April 24 by way of denouncing the hypocritical attitude of the Nixon government, which, under guise of a "progressive withdrawal" of the American troops and "Vietnamization" of the war, has again intensified its aggressive actions against the Vietnamese people, resuming bombings and commando raids against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
In face of the obvious incapacity of American imperialism to reduce the heroic resistance of the Vietnamese people against the aggression, and to undermine their resolution to win their national and social liberation, the high command in Washington is cooking up new adventures and barbarous acts to "resolve" the war in Vietnam in accordance with their own schemes.
Within this framework, the mobilization of the largest possible masses in the United States to compel the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the American troops from Vietnam constitutes precious aid to the Vietnamese revolution. The fact that more and more trade-union organizations are joining the antiwar movement exposes the lies of the Nixon administration and the venal press about a "silent majority" of the American people allegedly supporting the aggression in Vietnam while only a minority of students and intellectuals oppose it. The increased hostility of the Black masses and the Chicanos to the war is another indication of the growing cohesion among all the exploited layers in the United States in the struggle against the dirty imperialist war in Vietnam.
Under these conditions, it is the duty of all the revolutionary organizations throughout the world to mount the broadest and most active aid possible to the antiwar movement in the United States, in this way aiding the Vietnamese revolution with concrete acts of solidarity.
The Fourth International appeals to the workers, the students, poor farmers, and progressive intellectuals of all countries throughout the world to organize powerful demonstrations April 24 in solidarity with the Vietnamese revolution and with the antiwar movement in the United States, through effective anti-imperialist united fronts commensurate to the needs in each country.
Let's make April 24, 1971, a day of active world solidarity with the heroic Vietnamese revolution!
Let's demonstrate everywhere April 24, 1971, showing our solidarity with the courageous antiwar movement in the United States!
For the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the American troops from Vietnam!
For the victory of the Vietnamese revolution—everyone in the streets April 24, 1971!
