A nationwide uprising in Georgia against the rule of the capitalist oligarchy of billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili and his Georgian Dream party that responds to Vladimir Putin's dictatorship is once again convulsing this ancient Caucasus country, which is at a crossroads between Slavic, Turkish and Persian cultures. For 4 days mass mobilizations have been going through the capital of Georgia, the Georgian people have been fighting for several decades to become independent from the prison of peoples that the Russian Federation represents.
The capitalist oligarchy headed by Putin cannot allow any sovereignty or national independence because its class privileges depend on it. As we have been explaining in various works, [1] Putin's dictatorship represents the oligarchy and the capitalist ruling classes of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia, which although legally not within the Russian Federation (like Chechnya and other smaller nations) through fraud and pressure, maintains puppet governments in the same countries, such as the one that overthrew the Ukrainian revolution of 2014. They are all governments that contributed to and benefited from the process of capitalist restoration in Russia directed from Wall Street, they are the same names that have become millionaires by privatizing, repressing the people and plundering the wealth of the nations of the former Soviet Union in favor of imperialist companies through a people's prison that reminds us of the times of the Russia of the tsars.
The Ukrainian revolution that began in 2014 with the Revolution of Dignity (also known as the Euromaidan) against the puppet government of Viktor Yanukovych, kicked off the struggle for the liberation of nations to shake off the yoke of the Russian capitalist Federation, which has been violently responded to by Vladimir Putin with the invasion of Ukraine that began two years ago and has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. The capitalist oligarchy of the Russian Federation invades and represses the nationalities subjected under its yoke in defense of its wealth based on the exploitation of the workers, and the plundering of the peoples of the regions controlled under the people's prison that is the Russian Federation.
The capitalist oligarchy headed by Putin cannot allow any kind of sovereignty, because the existence of the Russian Federation guarantees the existence of a regime of super exploitation over the peoples it oppresses, it is no coincidence that before dying, the former president of the United States, Henry Kissinger, came to the defense of the Russian Federation. warning about the dangers for US imperialism that the fall of Vladimir Putin could mean, whom he met in the early 90's of the last century, at that time Putin worked for the mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak and was a member of the bilateral Kissinger-Sobchak commission to promote US investment in Russia.

From the very beginning, the Kremlin recognized the Georgian uprising as "a Ukrainian-style revolution", [3] since the Georgian people seek to leave the sphere of influence and subjugation of Russian capitalism to adhere to the capitalism of the European Union, which is a vain illusion, this process of national liberation passes through illusions of the masses in another capitalist bloc, which in the medium term, will lead to a new disillusionment, as happened to the Ukrainian people. This is because the European Union will not escape the crisis of stagnation + inflation (stagflation) that overwhelms all imperialist countries, and the only way out that will guarantee a future for the workers is the socialist revolution.
We know this type of uprising as "unconscious revolutions" or "February revolutions", led by other capitalist blocs, in allusion to the mass uprising that destroyed the Russia of the tsars and was commanded by a bourgeois bloc.
In addition to being the founder of the main leader of the ruling party (Georgian Dream), Bidzina Ivanishvili is nothing less than the richest and most influential man in Georgia, his fortune is estimated at 7,500 million dollars, [4] in a country whose GDP is located at 30 billion dollars, that is, Ivanisvili's wealth represents a quarter of Georgia's GDP, his government promotes membership of the Kremlin and distancing itself from the European Union. The Georgian uprising takes place in a context of inflation and the fall of the Russian currency (the ruble) to 108.01 units per dollar, while the Georgian government has just announced the freezing for 4 years (until 2028) of negotiations for this country to join the European Union, a goal set out in the constitution. The puppet government of Bidzina Ivanishvili has just held totally fraudulent parliamentary elections, with the aim of holding on to power indefinitely.
The repression launched by the oligarch Ivanishvili has led to hundreds of injuries and arrests in the streets during demonstrations against the regime, which has led nations such as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to announce the sanctioning of 11 politicians and officials in Tbilisi, accusing them of "human rights abuses"; among the officials sanctioned are Bidzina Ivanishvili, the Minister of the Interior Vakhtang Gomelauri; as well as Deputy Interior Ministers Shalva Bedoidze, Ioseb Chelidze, Aleksandre Darakhvelidze and Giorgi Butkhuzi.
In the mobilizations, some Georgians carry the flag of the European Union (EU) with the false illusion that by joining the European Union they can improve their living conditions. It is a false illusion inoculated by the European capitalist parties, because all the capitalist countries of the world are sinking into hunger and poverty.
The Georgian people's hatred of Great Russian chauvinism is long-standing, to say the least, dating back to the time of the tsars, going through the most recent conflict in August 2008, when capitalist Russia invaded militarily in a failed attempt to regain control over its breakaway province of South Ossetia. Putin recognized the independence of South Ossetia and another breakaway province, Abkhazia, and established military bases there.
The peoples of the world have synchronized their liberation struggles in a new revolutionary wave that runs from the imperialist countries to the most remote corners of the planet. After the Ukrainian national liberation war, the uprising of October 7, 2023 occurred in occupied Palestine, which inaugurates the national liberation war of the Palestinian people, in recent days, rebel troops have been reactivated in Syria against the murderous regime of Bashir Al Asaad, at the same time as a major general strike is taking place in Italy. We must surround the people of Georgia with solidarity, and support their claim until their triumph, an indispensable foundation for the end of Putin's dictatorship, and Global Socialism.
The Georgian people have joined the world revolution, who in different processes and unconscious revolutions seek to emancipate themselves from different types of oppression, be it national, class, race or gender.
Down with the capitalist government of the Ivanishvili in Georgia!
Down with Russian capitalist oppression!
No confinement in the European Union and false friends of the people!
For national liberation and a socialist republic in Georgia!
