让革命永恒
18天来，埃及人民推翻了在位很长的暴君，但长达30年的腐败和专制还不能在这18天中被彻底清除。腐败遍布整个国家机器，从它的躯干到它的四肢，而暴政就是每个被执行政策的核心。因此，对穆巴拉克的罢免只是一个废除旧政权所有标志和政策的前奏。
穆巴拉克的独裁统治只是这整个旧政权系统独裁统治的一部分——穆巴拉克只是它的头头。这个系统依然在执行着让民众生活穷困的政策、向着私有化的政策、同犹太复国主义者联合并为美国利益服务的政策——甚至不用专政，以便让政策的缔造者避开民众的愤怒。
因此，结束专政和特别法律的斗争, 在没有首先完成对导致政治压迫和暴政的原因的斗争这一基础上，是无法完成的。
同时，无数埃及革命者并未在街头和工作地出现，结果是只除掉了暴君，或者说是获得了少数从未被实行过的民主要求。最终，那些生活在贫困线以下的人，在革命后回家，当然无法用“自由”“民主”来喂养他们的孩子。确实，贫穷、通胀、失业是促使埃及革命的主要原因。
政府媒体，以及独立媒体，今天依然宣传着穆巴拉克的罢免意味着埃及革命的结束这一错误观念。这些媒体在独裁者下台之前都对革命作过攻击,并且号召反对者们回家。今天，他们扮演者同样的角色，同样号召工人、学生和其他人停止示威和静坐。
但如果我们不继续革命，以便让经济结构和社会财富得到彻底改变的话，换句话说，如果我们不把革命拓展开来，不仅涉及民主权利，还要涉及到经济、社会权利，否则独裁统治就会以不同的形式重新组建起来。这就好比我们推翻了穆巴拉克却不得不面对着许多赞颂革命、赞颂民主、赞颂改革的穆巴拉克们，从而导致专政和贫穷的政策依然存在。
我们不能忘了，埃及革命并不是孤军作战，而是属于席卷阿拉伯地区的革命浪潮的一部分。这些革命如果成功并且继续的话，毫无疑问地会支持我们，正如突尼斯革命与埃及革命这个例子。突尼斯革命鼓舞着埃及革命。反过来，埃及革命给利比亚、也门、阿尔及利亚和巴林的革命者以信心，促进他们的革命产生质的变化。
对腐败的持续反抗，对导致贫困、附庸政策的持续反抗，是获得由民众斗争所得革命果实的唯一保证，也是获得更多成就的保证。阿拉伯地区持续的反独裁政权斗争会保护埃及革命的顺利进行并助推埃及革命向前发展。
让埃及革命永恒！让我们在阿拉伯地区的革命永恒！让永恒的革命走进工厂、邻里、大学，直到我们实现目标！

Making the Revolution Permanent http://socialistworker.org/2011/03/15/making-the-revolution-permanent
IN 18 days, the Egyptian people toppled a longtime tyrant, but 30 years of corruption and despotism cannot be erased in only 18 days of the revolution. Corruption is pervasive in the system, from its torso to its limbs, and tyranny was at the heart of every policy that was implemented. Therefore, the ousting of Mubarak can only be a prelude to the overthrow of a regime that retains all its symbols and its policies.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The Mubarak dictatorship was only part of a dictatorship of an entire system--Mubarak was only its head. This system is still able to implement policies that impoverish the mass of people, policies of privatization, and policies that continue the alliance with the Zionist entity and serve American interests--even without a dictatorship that sheltered the architects of those policies from the wrath of the masses.
Therefore, the struggle to end this dictatorship and the special laws, it was based on cannot be completed without the struggle against the causes that led to political repression and tyranny in the first place.
At the same time, millions of Egyptian revolutionaries did not come out in the streets and in the workplace only to remove a tyrant or win a handful of democratic demands that have not even been implemented yet. In the end, the millions who live below the poverty line cannot return to their homes after the revolution to feed their children with "freedom" and "democracy." Indeed, poverty, inflation and unemployment were the main reasons that prompted Egyptians in this revolution.
The government media--and also the independent media--today promote the false idea that the revolution had ended by ousting Mubarak. These same media were attacking the revolution before the overthrow of the dictator, and they called on the rebels to return to their homes. Today, they play the same role and call for the same workers, students and others to refrain from strikes and sit-ins.
But if we do not continue the revolution to make radical changes in the economic structure and the distribution of social wealth--in other words, if we do not extend the revolution to demand not only democratic rights, but also economic and social rights, dictatorship will reassert itself in different forms. It will be as if we toppled Mubarak only to face 100,000 Mubarak singing the praises of revolution, democracy and reform, but continuing policies of tyranny and impoverishment.
We cannot forget that the revolution in Egypt is not an isolated island, but part of a wave of revolutions that swept the Arab region. These revolutions, if they succeed and continue, will certainly support us, as was the case between the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions. The Tunisian revolution inspired the Egyptian one. In turn, the Egyptian revolution gave the people in Libya, Yemen, Algeria and Bahrain confidence in themselves and in their ability to make their own revolution for change.
The continuation of the revolt against the symbols of corruption, against the policies of that cause impoverishment and against the policies of dependency is the only guarantee of preserving the gains of the revolution that were accomplished by the mass struggle, and to win more gains. The continuing revolution in the Arab region against dictatorial regimes is what will protect the Egyptian revolution and push us forward.
