On the current situation in Nepal and the challenge before the Maoists
Participation in the Constitutional Assembly process, and in
government, in Nepal has been used by the UCPN (Maoist) leadership to liquidate
the revolutionary nature of the party and sink it in the morass of
parliamentarism. For quite some time now, this has been the concrete political
manifestation of revisionism, of the derailment of the party from the path of
New Democratic Revolution. It has now been taken to a new depth with the recent
appointment of Dr. Baburam Bhattarrai as the Prime Minister of Nepal through a
deal with the Madheshi parties, known agents of the Indian expansionists. Following
a script already given by the reactionaries and endorsed by the UCPN (Maoist)
leadership, the new government promptly handed over the keys of the People’s
Liberation Army’s (PLA) stored weapons. Severely drained of its fighting
qualities through the policies followed by the leadership of the UCPN(Maoist),
it is now being prepared for formal elimination, to finish off the last
remaining, and one of the most important, achievements of the 10 years of People’s War. Thus the people will have nothing
to bank on and will be helplessly thrown back to the reactionary wolves.
10 years of heroic war of the masses and their immense sacrifices
gave the tiny organisation CPN (Maoist) international fame and recognition.
Once the emerging shining armour in the glorious history of the international communist
movement, this party is now reduced to being ‘just another petty political
party’, shamelessly bargaining for some space in the ruling class benches.
Today the very leaders of this organisation are trading sacrifices and pains of
the revolutionary masses for a few ministerial posts and recognition from the
Indian expansionists, in the service of the imperialists. Every step taken by
them is meant to prove to their aakkas (masters) that they are genuinely
committed to abandoning the path of revolution.
When communists turn colour and rot the stench is far worse. The
slogan ‘serve the masses’ is converted to ‘serve the imperialist-expansionist
masters’. As the class nature of the party changes, it acquires the ‘most favoured
status’ from the ruling classes. The veil of minimum bourgeois morality too is shorn
off. Shameless degeneration, craving for consumer goods and luxuries replace communist
plain living, revolutionary self-respect and modesty. Revisionists are the seeds of reactionaries
and slaves of the imperialists in the revolutionary ranks. In no time they
infect the whole organisation, decapitate its ideological strength and denude
it of its revolutionary sheen. The first thing they do in order to liquidate a
revolutionary organisation is by bringing in liberalism in place of firm and
clear ideological position. They abhor Leninist party principles and convert
the organisation into an open non-functional debating forum. Conspiracies and
manipulations become the hallmark of functioning. All these features can now be
seen in the UCPN (Maoist).
The Maoists had gained strategic advantage through the ten years of
People’s War, which liberated vast regions of the country and established
people’s power. The advance of revolution intensified the crisis within the
ruling classes and pushed their imperialist, expansionist mentors into a
quandary. This set the context for the Peace Accord of 2006 and the mass
upheaval that eventually led to the ending of the hated Gyanendra monarchy. The
Maoist party was propelled to a unique position of national leadership, gaining
overwhelming support for the unfinished agenda of revolution. But instead of
utilising these favourable factors and applying tactics suitable to the
fulfilment of these aspirations of the people the leadership deviated from the
strategic tasks of revolution. The ideological, political roots of this
deviation, including the different trends contained in the turn to ‘peace
tactics’, are already a matter of ideological struggle within the Nepalese and
international Maoist movement. The views of our party on this matter, including
correspondence with the UCPN (Maoist) leadership, can be seen in ‘Naxalbari’
No: 3 (thenaxalbari.blogspot.com). This ideological struggle must be certainly
deepened, most importantly by the Nepali Maoists themselves. But the immediate
task before the Maoists and the revolutionary masses in Nepal is to raise the
flag of open rebellion against the revisionist headquarters and thus initiate
the reconstruction of the party on solid Marxist-Leninist-Maoist bases, firmly
united with the masses. They must get out off the revisionist swamp of
Constitutional Assembly politicking and retake the road of revolution. The
revolutionary heritage of the Maoists in Nepal, much enriched by the heroic
People’s War they led and the glorious sacrifices made by thousands of the
valiant daughters and sons of Nepal, along with the boundless solidarity of
people all over the world with the Nepali revolution provide the bedrock basis
for taking up this challenge. As called for in the Political Resolution of the
CCOMPOSA, “People all over the world look up to the Maoists in Nepal to break
out of all domestic and external conspiracies and advance determinedly towards
the completion of new democratic revolution.”
