Army troops led by General Hudson Austin have overthrown the People's Revolutionary Government of Grenada, executed Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and six leading members of the New Jewel Movement, including at least four ministers and two major leaders of the trade unions, as well as of other mass organiza-
The very fact that important sections of the Grenadian people have demonstrated in the streets of St. George against the overthrow of Bishop, and that the army has responded by imposing a curfew proves that the new rulers have in no acted in defense of the interests and aspirations of the toiling masses. Furthermore, the communique by the Cuban government indicates that, contrary to the disinformation ploy of Washington and the international capitalist press, the Cuban leadership has condemned the actions of Austin and company.
The Fourth International categorically denounces these that those responsible for such crimes have to be punished by the Grenadian
The People's Revolutionary Government under the leadership of Maurice Bishop and the New Jewel Movement since the very beginning had carried out wide-ranging social, political and economic changes that benefitted the work-
The overthrow of the PRG represents a devastating blow to the Grenadian revolution, and it will have a negative impact on the struggles of oppressed people, first of all in the Caribbean and in Central America.
Since the victory of the revolution, Grenada became a target of imperialist of economic and political pressures, of blackmail and threats of direct In the context of the present erisis, imperialism will try by every means to finish off the revolution. A ten-ship U.S. task force carrying 1,900 Marines was immediately sent towards the coast of Grenada under the guise of protecting U.S. citizens there.
The Fourth International denounces all these imperialist manoeuvres, which but also at the revolutionary government in Nicaragua, all the revolutions in Central America and the Cuban workers state.

Against all the imperialist manoeuvres in the region and for the immediate withdrawal of all imperialist armed forces from all the countries of Central America and the Caribbean!
For the defense of the revolutionary achievements of the workers and farmers of Grenada!

However, to force capitalist governments to accept such a policy, the most important means now is united mobilization of the workers and the youth. Only this can make it possible to block the imperialist war plans.
To give up trying to build such mobil izations would mean in fact abandoning today and in the future any hope of winning the objectives of peace and socialism, which can only be fully achieved if is overthrown in its main
From this standpoint, the policy of the Soviet bureaucracy serves neither the cause of peace nor that of socialism. Instead of relying on mass mobilization for a solution, the Soviet bureaucracy is trying to divert the masses down the blind alley of arms negotiations politics. It is trying to reduce the antiwar movement to the role of a pawn in its diplo-
Thus, the Soviet bureaucracy responds to the imperialist maneuvers first and foremost on the military level, and this has negative effects on the mass antiwar movement in the West. In fact, this approach is designed to justify, or consolidate, the bureaucratic yoke that this bureaucracy imposes on the workers in Eastern Europe and in the USSR.
In these conditions, the independent mobilization of workers in both East Europe and West Europe is not only a more effective against imperialism than a few extra Soviet missiles. It is the only realistic way to fight
It is the road to a socialist future for humanity that will put an end to imperialist barbarism and dispell once and for all the threat of a nuclear incineration of the human race.
