Compilation of Articles on the Popular Uprising in Kazakhstan

Note of the Editorial Board: The following joint statement has been issued by a number of socialist organizations in Russia (including the comrades of the RCIT). It reflects a principled declaration of solidarity with the Kazakh uprising as well as of anti-imperialist opposition against Russia’s military intervention.

* * * * *

For a democratic and socialist Kazakhstan! Stop the intervention, release the detainees!

Mass protests have been going on in Kazakhstan for several days. The detonator of the uprising was the rise in prices for liquefied gas, but it is obvious that the contradictions, which eventually led to a social explosion, accumulated in Kazakhstan for years.

At the moment, the protesters are forming their own self-governing bodies, in some cities administrative buildings and offices of law enforcement agencies have been taken by storm.

Despite the fact that the country’s nominal president, Kosym-Zharmat Tokayev, tried to calm the people down by freezing gas prices and the resignation of the government, the protests only intensified and entered a new phase, which speaks of deep-rooted discontent with authoritarian-bureaucratic capitalism in Kazakhstan.

The vanguard of the protest is the working class, and we are convinced that only it will be able to carry through to the end the democratic transformations, without which the struggle for freedom, democracy and socialism is impossible. Only the working people and all the progressive forces of Kazakhstan will be able to bring the revolution to its goal, without looking back at the lulling speeches of the government and not handing over the fate of the protest into the hands of "democratic" opposition politicians.

We stand in solidarity with the insurgent people of Kazakhstan, demanding:

* Immediately release all detained protesters and political prisoners.

* Stop the military intervention of the CSTO member states.

We call on the Kazakh left to participate in the protests and defense of Kazakhstan against military incursion. Introduce a socialist agenda into the program of the insurgent people of Kazakhstan and build their own independent political organization.

СОВМЕСТНОЕ ЗАЯВЛЕНИЕ СОЦИАЛИСТИЧЕСКИХ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЙ РОССИИ

(http://rabkor.ru/columns/events/2022/01/07/for_a_democratic_and_socialist_kazakhstan/)

«За демократический и социалистический Казахстан! Остановить военную интервенцию и освободить задержанных!» совместное заявление социалистических организаций России

В Казахстане несколько суток продолжаются массовые протесты. Детонатором восстания стал рост цен на сжиженный газ, но очевидно, что противоречия, которые в итоге привели к социальному взрыву, накапливались в Казахстане годами. На данный момент протестующие формируют свои органы самоуправления, в некоторых городах взяты штурмом административные здания и офисы силовых структур.

Несмотря на то, что номинальный президент страны Касым-Жармат Токаев попытался успокоить народ заморозкой цен на газ и отставкой правительства, протесты только усилились и перешли в новую фазу, что говорит о глубоких корнях недовольства авторитарно-бюрократическим капитализмом в Казахстане.

Авангардом протеста является рабочий класс, и мы убеждены, что только он сможет довести до конца демократические преобразования, без которых невозможна борьба за свободу, демократию и социализм. Только трудящиеся и все прогрессивные силы Казахстана смогут довести революцию до конца, не оглядываясь на убаюкивающие речи правительства и не отдавая судьбу протеста в руки «демократических» оппозиционных политиканов.

Мы, нижеподписавшиеся, выражаем солидарность с восставшим народом Казахстана,

Мы требуем:

1. Немедленно освободить всех задержанных участников протестов и политических заключённых.

2. Прекратить военную интервенцию стран-участниц ОДКБ.

Мы призываем казахстанских левых участвовать в протестах и обороне Казахстана от военного вторжения. Вносить социалистическую повестку в программу восставшего народа Казахстана и строить свою независимую политическую организацию.

DÉCLARATION COMMUNE DES ORGANISATIONS SOCIALISTES DE RUSSIE

Pour un Kazakhstan démocratique et socialiste !

Stop à l’intervention militaire ! Libération des détenus !

(The French translation has been provided by https://aplutsoc.org/2022/01/08/declaration-commune-des-organisations-socialistes-de-russie/)

Les protestations massives se poursuivent au Kazakhstan depuis plusieurs jours. C’est la hausse des prix du gaz liquéfié qui fut le détonateur du soulèvement, mais il est évident que les contradictions qui ont déclenché l’explosion sociale s’accumulaient au Kazakhstan depuis des années. Présentement, les manifestants forment leurs propres organes autonomes, dans certaines villes les bâtiments administratifs et les bureaux des forces de l’ordre ont été pris d’assaut.

En dépit du fait que le président nominal du pays, Kassym-Jomart Tokaïev, a essayé de calmer les gens par le gel des prix du gaz et la démission du gouvernement, les protestations n’ont fait que s’intensifier, et sont entrées dans une nouvelle phase, ce qui en dit long sur les profondes racines du mécontentement dans le Kazakhstan capitaliste autoritaire et bureaucratique.

L’avant-garde de la protestation est la classe ouvrière, et nous sommes convaincus que c’est elle, elle seule, qui peut mener jusqu’au bout les transformations démocratiques, sans lesquelles le combat pour la liberté, la démocratie et le socialisme est impossible. Seuls les travailleurs et les forces progressistes du Kazakhstan peuvent mener à son terme la révolution, sans regarder en arrière vers les discours apaisants du gouvernement, refusant de remettre le sort de la protestation dans les mains des opposants politiques « démocratiques. »

Nous, les soussignés, exprimons notre solidarité avec le peuple du Kazakhstan.

Nous demandons :

1. Libération immédiate de tous les manifestants arrêtés et de tous les prisonniers politiques.

2. Arrêter l’intervention militaire des pays membre de l’OTSC..

Nous appelons la gauche kazakhe à manifester et à défendre le Kazakhstan contre l’intervention militaire, à introduire les mot d’ordre socialistes dans le programme des insurgés du Kazakhstan, et à bâtir leur propre organisation politique indépendante.

GEMEINSAME ERKLÄRUNG VON SOZIALISTISCHEN ORGANISATIONEN IN RUSSLAND

Anmerkung der Redaktion: Die folgende gemeinsame Erklärung wurde von einer Reihe sozialistischer Organisationen in Russland (einschließlich der GenossInnen der RCIT) veröffentlicht. Sie spiegelt eine prinzipienfeste Erklärung der Solidarität mit dem kasachischen Aufstand sowie der anti-imperialistischen Opposition gegen die russische Militärintervention wider.

* * * * *

Für ein demokratisches und sozialistisches Kasachstan! Stoppt die Intervention, lasst die Inhaftierten frei!

Seit einigen Tagen finden in Kasachstan Massenproteste statt. Der Auslöser des Aufstands war der Anstieg der Preise für Flüssiggas, aber es ist offensichtlich, dass sich die Widersprüche, die schließlich zu einer sozialen Explosion führten, in Kasachstan seit Jahren aufgestaut haben.

Zurzeit bilden die Demonstranten ihre eigenen Selbstverwaltungsorgane, in einigen Städten wurden Verwaltungsgebäude und Büros der Strafverfolgungsbehörden gestürmt.

Obwohl der nominelle Präsident des Landes, Kosym-Zharmat Tokajew, versuchte, die Bevölkerung durch das Einfrieren der Gaspreise und den Rücktritt der Regierung zu beruhigen, verstärkten sich die Proteste und traten in eine neue Phase ein, was auf eine tief verwurzelte Unzufriedenheit mit dem autoritär-bürokratischen Kapitalismus in Kasachstan hinweist.

Die Avantgarde des Protests ist die Arbeiterklasse, und wir sind überzeugt, dass nur sie in der Lage sein wird, die demokratischen Veränderungen, ohne die der Kampf für Freiheit, Demokratie und Sozialismus unmöglich ist, bis zum Ende durchzusetzen. Nur die Werktätigen und alle fortschrittlichen Kräfte Kasachstans werden in der Lage sein, die Revolution an ihr Ziel zu bringen, ohne sich von den einlullenden Reden der Regierung beruhigen zu lassen und das Schicksal des Protests nicht in die Hände von "demokratischen" Oppositionspolitikern zu legen.

Wir sind solidarisch mit dem aufständischen Volk von Kasachstan und fordern:

* Unverzügliche Freilassung aller inhaftierten Demonstranten und politischen Gefangenen.

* Beendigung der militärischen Intervention der CSTO-Mitgliedstaaten.

Wir rufen die kasachische Linke auf, sich an den Protesten und der Verteidigung Kasachstans gegen den militärischen Einmarsch zu beteiligen. Bringt eine sozialistische Agenda in das Programm der aufständischen Menschen in Kasachstan ein und baut eure eigene unabhängige politische Organisation auf.

Organizaciones socialistas rusas apoyan revolución de Kasajstán

Nota del Consejo Editorial: La siguiente declaración conjunta ha sido emitida por varias organizaciones socialistas en Rusia (incluidos los camaradas de la CCRI). Refleja una declaración de principios de solidaridad con el levantamiento kazajo, así como de oposición antiimperialista contra la intervención militar de Rusia.

¡Por un Kazajistán democrático y socialista! ¡Alto a la intervención, liberad a los detenidos!

Las protestas masivas han estado ocurriendo en Kazajstán durante varios días. El detonante del levantamiento fue el alza de los precios del gas licuado, pero es obvio que las contradicciones, que terminaron por desembocar en un estallido social, se acumularon en Kazajistán durante años.

Por el momento, los manifestantes están formando sus propios órganos autónomos, en algunas ciudades los edificios administrativos y las oficinas de las fuerzas del orden han sido tomados por asalto.

A pesar de que el presidente nominal del país, Kosym-Zharmat Tokayev, trató de calmar a la gente congelando los precios de la gasolina y la renuncia del gobierno, las protestas solo se intensificaron y entraron en una nueva fase, que habla de un arraigado descontento con las formas autoritarias. -capitalismo burocrático en Kazajstán.

La vanguardia de la protesta es la clase obrera, y estamos convencidos de que sólo ella podrá llevar hasta el final las transformaciones democráticas, sin las cuales es imposible la lucha por la libertad, la democracia y el socialismo. Solo el pueblo trabajador y todas las fuerzas progresistas de Kazajistán podrán llevar la revolución a su fin, sin mirar atrás a los adormecedores discursos del gobierno y sin dejar el destino de la protesta en manos de los políticos de la oposición "democrática".

Nos solidarizamos con el pueblo insurgente de Kazajstán, exigiendo:

* Liberar inmediatamente a todos los manifestantes y presos políticos detenidos.

* Detener la intervención militar de los estados miembros de la OTSC.

Hacemos un llamado a la izquierda kazaja a participar en las protestas y la defensa de Kazajstán contra la incursión militar. Introducir una agenda socialista en el programa del pueblo insurgente de Kazajstán y construir su propia organización política independiente.

러시아 사회주의 조직들의 카자흐스탄 공동성명

* 다음은 러시아의 제 사회주의 단체 (RCIT 러시아 포함)가 낸 공동성명이다. 성명은 카자흐스탄 봉기에 대한 원칙 있는 연대 선언과 러시아의 군사개입에 대한 반제국주의적 규탄을 담고 있다.

민주주의 카자흐스탄, 사회주의 카자흐스탄을 위해 투쟁!

개입을 중단하라!

구속자를 석방하라!

카자흐스탄에서 며칠 동안 대규모 시위가 전개됐다. 봉기의 기폭제는 LPG 가격 인상이었지만, 결국 사회적 폭발로 이어진 모순이 카자흐스탄에 수년간 누적된 것은 분명하다.

현재 시위자들은 자체적으로 자치 기구를 구성하고 있고, 일부 도시에서는 행정 건물과 사법기관 사무실이 시위자들에게 접수되기도 했다.

명목상의 대통령인 토카예프가 가스값 동결과 사임을 통해 시위를 진정시키려고 시도한 사실에도 불구하고 시위는 더 격렬해지면서 새로운 국면에 접어들었다. 이제 카자흐스탄의 권위주의-관료 자본주의에 대한 뿌리 깊은 불만이 표출되는 국면에 이르게 된 것이다..

시위의 선봉은 노동자계급이며, 노동자계급만이 민주변혁을 ㅡ 민주변혁 없이는 자유와 민주주의와 사회주의를 위한 투쟁은 불가능하다 ㅡ 끝까지 밀고 갈 수 있다고 우리는 확신한다. 카자흐스탄의 노동인민과 모든 진보 세력들만이 정부의 유화적 연설에 휘둘리지 않고, 시위의 운명을 '민주' 야당 정치인들의 손에 넘겨주지 않고 혁명을 완수할 수 있을 것이다.

우리는 카자흐스탄의 봉기 인민과 연대에 나서며 다음과 같이 요구한다.

* 구속된 모든 시위자와 정치범을 즉각 석방하라!

* CSTO 회원국의 군사개입을 중단하라!

우리는 카자흐스탄 좌파에게 시위에 동참하고 군사개입에 맞서 카자흐스탄을 방어할 것을 촉구한다.

카자흐스탄 봉기 인민의 강령에 사회주의 의제를 도입하고, 봉기 인민 자신의 독자적인 정치 조직을 만들어야 한다!

International Statement: Solidarity with the Uprising in Kazakhstan

This international solidarity statement with the protests in Kazakhstan was written by socialist TD Paul Murphy of Ireland. It has been signed by many socialist organizations - among them the RCIT - and individual activists.

We, socialists, trade unionists, human rights activists, anti-war activists and organisations have watched the uprising in Kazakhstan since 2 January with a sense of deep solidarity for the working people. The striking oil workers, miners and protesters have faced incredible repression. The full force of the police and army have been unleashed against them, instructed to ‘shoot to kill without warning’. Over 160 protesters have been killed so far and more than 8,000 have been arrested.

We reject the propaganda of the dictatorship that this uprising is a product of “Islamic radicals” or the intervention of US imperialism. There is no evidence of that whatsoever. It is the usual resort of an unpopular regime – to blame ‘outside’ agitators.

Instead, the trigger of the protests was the rise in fuel prices. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back, in a country where immense oil wealth exists side by side with terrible poverty and exploitation. It is also the result of the crushing weight of a brutal dictatorship on people’s backs. This regime has liquidated all opposition parties, imprisoned and tortured trade union and human rights activists, and was responsible for a massacre of striking oil workers in Zhanaozen ten years ago.

The position of all the major capitalist powers is clear. Putin stands full square behind the regime. The Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) has sent 3,000 troops to Kazakhstan to intimidate protesters. Chinese President Xi Jinping also announced his support for the Kazakhstan government and claimed the unrest was the deliberate result of “outside forces.”

The US administration has called for “restraint by both the authorities and protestors”. The EU has similarly called on protesters to “avoid any incitement to violence” and called on authorities “to respect the fundamental right to peaceful protest and proportionality in the use of force when defending its legitimate security interests”!

Unsurprisingly, they all prioritise ‘stability’ for their oil companies who are benefiting from the exploitation of the natural resources and Kazakh workers.

In response to the class solidarity of the capitalist regimes, we respond with working class solidarity and commit to raise the following demands in our trade unions, parliaments and organisations:

Solidarity with those rising up against the dictatorship in Kazakhstan
End the repression of the protests
Release all the detained protesters and political prisoners
No to Russian and CSTO intervention – withdraw the troops now
No to the hypocrisy of the EU and US who equate the revolt of the masses with the brutal violence of the regime
Down with the dictatorship
Support the call from oil workers for nationalization of the oil wealth and major industries under workers’ control
Support the building of an independent trade union movement and socialist movement in Kazakhstan

Declaración: Solidaridad internacional con la rebelión en Kazajistán

Presentamos a continuación una declaración de solidaridad internacional con el levantamiento en Kazajistán, iniciativa de Paul Murphy, Diputado del Parlamento irlandés y parte de la red People Before Profit, que fue firmada en pocas horas por más de 200 organizaciones y destacadas personalidades de todo el mundo.

Los abajo firmantes, socialistas, activistas sindicales, activistas de derechos humanos, activistas contra la guerra y organizaciones políticas, hemos seguido el levantamiento en Kazajstán desde el 2 de enero con un profundo sentido de solidaridad hacia las y los trabajadores.

Los trabajadores petroleros, mineros y manifestantes en huelga se han enfrentado a una brutal represión. Toda la fuerza de la Policía y el Ejército se ha desatado contra ellos, con instrucciones de ’disparar a matar sin previo aviso’. Más de 160 manifestantes han sido asesinados hasta el momento y más de 8.000 han sido arrestados.

Rechazamos la propaganda de la dictadura gobernante de que este levantamiento es producto de “radicales islámicos” o de la intervención del imperialismo estadounidense. No hay evidencia de eso en absoluto. Por el contrario, ese es el recurso habitual de un régimen impopular: culpar a supuestos agitadores "externos".

En su lugar, el detonante de las protestas fue el alza en los precios de los combustibles. Esta fue la gota que colmó el vaso, en un país donde la inmensa riqueza petrolera convive con una pobreza y una explotación terribles. También es el resultado del peso aplastante de una dictadura brutal sobre las espaldas de la gente. Este régimen ha liquidado a todos los partidos de oposición, encarcelado y torturado a activistas sindicales y de derechos humanos, y fue responsable de una masacre de trabajadores petroleros en huelga en Zhanaozen hace diez años.

La posición de todas las principales potencias capitalistas es clara. Putin apoya por completo al régimen. La Organización del Tratado de Seguridad Colectiva (CSTO) liderada por Rusia ha enviado 3.000 soldados a Kazajistán para intimidar a los manifestantes. El presidente chino, Xi Jinping, también anunció su apoyo al gobierno de Kazajistán y afirmó que los disturbios fueron el resultado deliberado de "fuerzas externas".

La administración estadounidense ha pedido "moderación tanto por parte de las autoridades como de los manifestantes". De manera similar, la UE ha pedido a los manifestantes que “eviten cualquier incitación a la violencia” y ha pedido a las autoridades que “respeten el derecho fundamental a la manifestación pacífica y la proporcionalidad en el uso de la fuerza al defender sus legítimos intereses de seguridad”.

Como era de esperar, todos priorizan la ’estabilidad’ para sus compañías petroleras que se benefician de la explotación de los recursos naturales y de los trabajadores kazajos.

En respuesta a la solidaridad de clase de los regímenes capitalistas, respondemos con la solidaridad de la clase trabajadora y nos comprometemos a plantear las siguientes demandas en nuestros sindicatos, parlamentos y organizaciones:

* Solidaridad con los que se levantan contra la dictadura en Kazajistán

* Alto a la represión a las protestas

* Libertad a todos los manifestantes y presos políticos detenidos

* No a la intervención rusa y de la OTSC: que se retiren las tropas inmediatamente

* No a la hipocresía de la UE y EEUU que equiparan la revuelta de las masas con la violencia brutal del régimen

* Abajo la dictadura

* Apoyamos el llamado de los trabajadores petroleros para la nacionalización de la riqueza petrolera y las principales industrias bajo el control de los trabajadores.

* Apoyamos la construcción de un movimiento sindical independiente y un movimiento socialista en Kazajistán

Internationale Solidarität mit dem Aufstand in Kasachstan

Die unten stehende Solidaritätserklärung geht auf eine Initiative des sozialistischen Parlamentsabgeordneten Paul Murphy in Ireland zurück. Sie wurde von zahlreichen sozialistischen Organisazionen - darunter auch die RCIT - sowie Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten unterzeichnet.

Wir, Sozialist:innen, Gewerkschafter:innen, Menschenrechtsaktivist:innen, Antikriegsaktivist:innen und -organisationen, haben den Aufstand in Kasachstan seit dem 2. Januar mit einem Gefühl tiefer Solidarität für die arbeitenden Menschen verfolgt. Die streikenden Ölarbeiter:innen, Bergleute und Demonstrant:innen sind unglaublicher Repression ausgesetzt. Polizei und Armee sind mit aller Härte gegen sie vorgegangen und hatten den Befehl, „ohne Vorwarnung zu schießen, um zu töten“. Über 160 Demonstrant:innen wurden bisher getötet und mehr als 8.000 verhaftet.

Wir weisen die Propaganda der Diktatur zurück, dass dieser Aufstand ein Produkt „radikaler Islamisten“ oder der Intervention des US-Imperialismus sei. Dafür gibt es keinerlei Beweise. Es ist der übliche Reflex eines unpopulären Regimes, „externe“ Aufwiegler zu beschuldigen.

Stattdessen war der Auslöser der Proteste der Anstieg der Kraftstoffpreise. Das war der Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen brachte, in einem Land, in dem immenser Ölreichtum und schreckliche Armut und Ausbeutung nebeneinander existieren. Die Proteste sind auch das Ergebnis der erdrückenden Last einer brutalen Diktatur, die auf den Schultern der Menschen lastet. Dieses Regime hat alle Oppositionsparteien liquidiert, Gewerkschafts- und Menschenrechtsaktivist:innen inhaftiert und gefoltert und war vor zehn Jahren für ein Massaker an streikenden Ölarbeiter:innen in Zhanaozen verantwortlich.

Die Position aller großen kapitalistischen Mächte ist klar. Putin steht voll und ganz hinter dem Regime. Die von Russland geführte “Organisation des Vertrags über kollektive Sicherheit” (OVKS) hat 3.000 Soldat:innen nach Kasachstan entsandt, um die Demonstrant:innen einzuschüchtern. Auch der chinesische Präsident Xi Jinping kündigte seine Unterstützung für die kasachische Regierung an und behauptete, die Unruhen seien das beabsichtigte Ergebnis von „äußeren Kräften“.

Die US-Regierung hat „sowohl die Behörden als auch die Demonstranten zur Zurückhaltung aufgerufen“. Die EU rief die Demonstrant:innen ebenfalls dazu auf, „jegliche Aufstachelung zur Gewalt zu vermeiden“, und forderte die Behörden auf, „das grundsätzliche Recht auf friedlichen Protest zu respektieren und die Verhältnismäßigkeit bei der Anwendung von Gewalt zu beachten, wenn sie ihre legitimen Sicherheitsinteressen verteidigen“!

Es überrascht nicht, dass sie alle der „Stabilität“ für ihre Ölkonzerne Vorrang einräumen, die von der Ausbeutung der natürlichen Ressourcen und der kasachischen Arbeiter:innen profitieren.

Auf die Klassensolidarität der kapitalistischen Regime antworten wir mit der Solidarität der Arbeiter:innenklasse und verpflichten uns, die folgenden Forderungen in unseren Gewerkschaften, Parlamenten und Organisationen zu erheben:

Solidarität mit denjenigen, die sich gegen die Diktatur in Kasachstan erheben!
Schluss mit der Repression gegen die Proteste!
Freilassung aller inhaftierten Demonstrant:innen und politischen Gefangenen!
Nein zur Intervention durch Russland und der OVKS: sofortiger Abzug der Truppen!
Nein zur Heuchelei der EU und der USA, die den Aufstand der Massen mit der brutalen Gewalt des Regimes gleichsetzen!
Nieder mit der Diktatur!
Unterstützt die Forderung der Ölarbeiter:innen nach Verstaatlichung des Ölreichtums und der Großindustrie unter Arbeiter:innenkontrolle!
Unterstützt den Aufbau einer unabhängigen Gewerkschaftsbewegung und einer sozialistischen Bewegung in Kasachstan!
