The American Communist Party proudly stands with the striking Amazon workers on picket lines across the nation.

The struggle of the Teamsters at Amazon represents the struggle of America’s entire working class. It is tied to the fate not only of Amazon workers but also railway, industrial, commercial, and service workers: in sum, the overwhelming majority of all Americans.

It is the labor of our working class that fuels the super-profits of parasites like Jeff Bezos, poised to become the first trillionaire in history, and whose class is destroying the country we hold so dear. These profits come at the expense of the basic human dignity of the working class, the productive capacity of the American economy, and the health of American families and communities. Every dollar lining the blood-drenched pockets of this social scum was earned not by hard work but from the work of the people on the shop floor, in the trucks, and in the warehouses.

We applaud the efforts of Sean O’Brien and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters for their resolve and capacity to take part in the struggle against these forces in the class war.

As this conflict intensifies, all American workers must stand unflinchingly against the forces already aligned against us, as soldiers in combat against a ruling class that does not hesitate to use any and all means at its disposal to destroy the cause of labor.

This battle is not the first and it will not be the last. We look towards victory and a new America free of the parasites.

The future belongs to the working class.
