On the Maoist Party



The Maoist Party
 ajith

What should be the qualities of an organisation to become the vanguard of a new society and humans, what should be the methods of party building corresponding to this, what should be the position of the party within the dictatorship of the proletariat? Can a proletarian party retain its communist qualities today without becoming a Maoist party? Is the Maoist party just another name for communist party? Or does it contain something new, in its very nature and methods of work?

Joint May Day Statement 2013



The popular masses want to overthrow the capitalist, imperialist governments and the governments who are their servants!
Proletarians want to unite for the Party of the revolution!
Communists support anti-imperialist struggles and develop People’s Wars for the world proletarian revolution!


Imperialism is the "highest stage of capitalism” —a stage of “parasitism and decay” (Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism). Now is the time to bury it, as soon as possible. The crisis of capitalism is like a chronic disease that torments it. It creates the grounds for its death.

The crisis of capitalism is above all a crisis of overproduction: “In these crises, there breaks out an epidemic that, in all earlier epochs, would have seemed an absurdity —the epidemic of over-production. Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism.” (Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto)

But it is the time when the bourgeoisie intensify its efforts to make the proletarians and masses pay for the crisis. As Marx and Engels have written more than 150 years ago in the Communist Manifesto: “The weapons with which the bourgeoisie felled feudalism to the ground are now turned against the bourgeoisie itself. But not only has the bourgeoisie forged the weapons that bring death to itself; it has also called into existence the men who are to wield those weapons — the modern working class —the proletarians.

Today, the world proletarians have never been so numerous, along with the people’s masses they represent at least 90% of the population; and these 90% are those who are affected by the crisis and need a radical change in the society. “The proletarian movement is the self-conscious, independent movement of the immense majority, in the interest of the immense majority.” (Ibid.)

Message of CPI(M-L) NAXALBARI To 7th Congress of CPN-Maoist


Message to

7th Congress of Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist


Dear comrades

     Lal Salam!
     
     We greet you on this historic occasion and apologise for not being able to participate directly. Please accept this message instead.

     Mao Tsetung has taught us the decisive importance of a correct ideological, political line. The history of your party itself stands testimony to this. With a correct line, it could rebel against the Teng Siao Ping revisionists who seized power through a coup in 1976, destroyed the historic advances made through the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and restored capitalism in socialist China. Thus, persisting on the path laid down by Mao Tsetung, your party played an important role in the international struggle to uphold the banner of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the wake of this setback, the struggle that led to the formation of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM). Further on, by deepening the struggle to uphold and apply Maoism, your party ruptured from dogmato-revisionist views that blocked revolution. It forged a correct line and boldly initiated the people’s war. The great gains of this glorious war, “creation of People's Liberation Army, establishment of base areas and people's government, role played by workers, peasants, women, indigenous nationalities and Dalits, and the awareness developed in this whole process”, were principally the gains of the correct line followed by your party. Today most of them are lost. This is the outcome of the subversion of the Maoist line and the imposition of a revisionist line by the Prachanda-Bhattarai clique. In both its advances and setbacks, the history of the international communist movement and its national contingents confirms the truth ‘The correctness or incorrectness of the line decides everything’.

Message to the Hamburg International Conference


Message to the International Conference to Support People's War in India
Hamburg, November 2012

CPI (M-L) NAXALBARI

Comrades,
This conference is taking place at an opportune moment in the history of the development of the class struggle, not only from the perspective of the history of development of the Maoist movement in India but also from the perspective of the critical juncture of the socio-economic and political phase the world as a whole is presently going through. In a world marked by aggressive moves of the sole super power US imperialism, the rapid advance of people’s war in Peru led by the PCP and later, from 1996, of the people’s war in Nepal led by CPN (Maoist) came as new rays of hope for the downtrodden and the toiling masses of the world. But these movements could not sustain their role of strengthening the Maoist pole; firstly, due to the setback in Peru caused by consecutive arrests of top leadership of PCP and later the confusion created by ROL attack and secondly, due to the betrayal of the Prachanda-Bhattarai revisionists in Nepal. This was worsened further with the dissolution of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) which was shaping itself as the embryonic centre of the world Maoist movement. It fell victim to those very trends mentioned above, which came from within it, along with Avakianism propounded under the guise of ‘New Synthesis’ by the RCP, USA. It is in this background that this conference attains higher significance. It is not just an act of showing solidarity to our struggling comrades in arms in the dense forests of Central Eastern India but it is shouldering the momentous task of spreading the message of revolution guided by Maoism, which is an urgent need of the hour, particularly in these times of global imperialist crisis. The CPI (ML) NAXALBARI extends its wholehearted support to this endeavour. Our party salutes the International Committee to Support People's War in India for conceptualising and successfully implementing it. We extend revolutionary greetings to all those who are attending this seminar and also to all those who, like us, participate indirectly.

Remembering comrade Hafiz


To
Central Committee,
Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan

Dear comrades,
We condole the death of comrade Hafiz, a veteran Maoist and staunch proletarian internationalist. He is remembered by us, especially for his effort to ensure the success of the historic Expanded Meeting of the RIM, which adopted Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as its ideological guide.

On Formation of CPN-Maoist


Press Release

Hail the formation of the new Maoist party in Nepal!

The formation of a new Maoist party by the revolutionary faction that broke away from the United Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) is a matter of great joy for the international communist movement and the peoples of the world. In its message to the new party the Central Organising Committee of the CPI(M-L)NAXALBARI has saluted its formation and stated that “This historic step accords to the revolutionary aspirations of the people of Nepal. It is enthusing to all, throughout the world, who have watched with grave concern the Prachanda/Bhattrai attempts to liquidate the Nepalese revolution and enforce capitulationism.” After noting  the National Convention’s evaluation that ”The creation of People's Liberation Army, establishment of base areas and people's government, role played by workers, peasants, women, indigenous nationalities and Dalits; and the awareness developed in this whole process are some of the major achievements we have gained..” and its decision to “move forward by standing upon this base.”,  the message goes on to say, “This is decisive in turning away from the disastrous path followed by Prachanda and Bhattrai. We wish you all success in this crucial task. No doubt, this depends on deepening the summation of the deviation while firmly and fully separating from the strategy and tactics it has used to derail the revolution.”

The formation of a new Maoist party has created serious problems for Indian expansionism and imperialism. On the one hand it tries to downplay it as ‘an insignificant splinter’. On the other it steps up its overt and covert intervention in Nepal, including veiled threats held out by increasing its armed deployment along the border. The response of the oppressed masses is exactly the opposite. They are gladdened by the bold step taken by the Maoists in Nepal and keenly look forward to their reopening the revolutionary road.
