On Imperialist Aggression in Libya

Press Release:
CPI (M-L) NAXALBARI
Support the Struggling Masses of Arab Countries!
Imperialist Intervention can never be the Solution!
Condemn and Resist Imperialist Aggression in Libya!

The rebellious masses of Libya are locked in a bitter struggle against its dictator Gaddafi, facing his murderous suppression. This is a just struggle enjoying the support of people throughout the world. But the attacks done by the US, France, Britain, Italy and other imperialist powers in Libya are unjust. They must be condemned and opposed. Though this is being done under the pretext of saving the Libyan masses it is a war of aggression. Its main aim is to replace Gaddafi with a more suppliant ruler. It has nothing to do with supporting the masses. This is well exposed by the reality of their bombing Libya, while actively supporting the equally brutal suppression of the struggling masses in Bahrain which is home to the US military command in West Asia. The protests of the Indian government, along with those of Russia, China and Brazil must also be exposed and condemned as mere propagandist posturing. Instead of blocking the UN sanction for imperialist aggression, they had simply abstained. Thus they too connived in the preparation and execution of the present imperialist aggression in Libya.
The struggle in Libya is part of the great mass upheaval sweeping across the Arab world. It has already toppled dictators, long protected by imperialists, in Tunisia and Egypt. Many others are severely threatened. Though all the imperialists and reactionaries have publicly supported these struggles, the real fact is that they are deeply concerned. They worry that decades old relations of neocolonial domination set up in West Asia and North Africa will unravel. They know that these struggles reflect the deep anger of the masses against the existing exploitative, oppressive conditions in these countries. The yearning of the people for basic change is yet to arrive at distinct emancipatory programmatic positions. But their opposition to nominal changes, to the continuation of the old order in new forms, has persisted. This radical stream, with the potential to develop into revolution, is the one of greatest promise for the oppressed. It will be realized to the extent conscious Maoist intervention is possible. Meanwhile even as a potential possibility it threatens imperialism and reaction. Therefore one important aspect of the present imperialist intervention in Libya is that of threatening the struggling masses into ‘permissible’ limits of protest.

Great position have been taken hereby. To both admit the lunacy and idiocy of Qaddafi and his false claims (thinking that he could get away from his own people while providing weapons to Irish Republican Socialist Party's army for example) and false promised to the people from which, few were well treated but then, also condemning the imperialists getting into it and foreseeing its aftermath that naturally will end up another running dog for the imperialist forces.... How come by the way, you guys don't go straight and join the Naalite Maoist Party of India at some point? what are your differences?

Salutes for your comment. As for the last line, it wouldn't be appropriate to air them on a blog.

Fair enough comrades.
As far as I am concerned, what happened when and where between China, India, Pakistan, Russia, Deng, Mao, Lin Biao and so forth are not what would be the dividing line. How to educate, protect and escalate the living standards of the almost prehistoric Adivasi populous and, how to equate women, men, everything in between, Hindu, post caste Hindus (like Christian dalits) and most of all, how to annihilate the feudal brain of the compradore boozhis is what counts for me. How to stop the Salwa judums and..... With whatever differences, please stand up and stop the bloody Green Hunting that is actually a red hunting with a green back dollar logo on its top.
Regard to all who fought from Lalgarah to Nandigram and many, many other small and big locations,
