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.)
The financial crisis of global capitalism
deepens and widens. The imperialists argue among themselves to plunder all
types of resources (human and material) in the backward countries, in addition
to increasing the exploitation of workers and the middle class in their own
countries in order to overcome this crisis.
In Europe
and the capitalist
countries, this results in a restructuring of the production, trade
and services, which leads to the
displacement of production in
countries where the cost of labour
is lower, a massive destruction of jobs and the introduction of
new and more productive means of production at the expense of the safety and health of workers. At the
same time, taxes are increasing, wages are
falling and benefits are reduced. In
general, the intensification
of the crisis implies that “small tradespeople, shopkeepers, and retired tradesmen… —all
these sink gradually into the proletariat” (ibid.)
.
In countries oppressed by
imperialism, the proletariat and people of Africa, Asia and Latin
America are subject to the dictates of the imperialist powers, who
are protected by their local watchdogs; those powers discard their watchdogs
when they no longer defend or badly defend their interests. The imperialist
powers use the policy of “divide and rule” and do not hesitate to militarily
intervene - both to support regimes of their servants or to topple those not
favourable to them - and to provoke ethnic and religious conflicts to protect
their interests and break people’s resistance to oppression. They
rely on religious obscurantism or secular liberalism to maintain by any menas their economic, political and ideological domination.
The ruling classes of these countries,
be they rising 3rd world powers - China, India, Brazil
or South Africa – or oppressed countries, are
doing everything possible to ensure maximum exploitation of the labour force and access and control on raw
materials in the interests of the imperialist system.
In the imperialist and
oppressed countries, the ruling classes use as
watchdogs the reactionary right
forces as well as the reformist, social
democratic and revisionist forces that apply their
policy of exploitation and oppression of proletarians and masses. Official trade unions are working with the various governments to
negotiate “austerity measures” and privatisation schemes so that the workers
reconcile with them and to stop the struggles that clash against the bosses and
the state. The reconciling always allows capitalists
to strengthen and continue their destructive
work undermining the gains won by the working class
through a hundred years of
struggle.
In imperialist countries,
the more openly reactionary right and also the reformist and social democrat
“left” uphold through different forms the “national identity”, to use it
against the immigrants in order to strengthen the division of the proletariat
and the masses and thus opening the way to old and new fascism. Many populist, fascist and neo-Nazi parties and organizations
are thriving on the fertile land cultivated by all the traditional political forces and institutions.
The bourgeoisie defends its
system and institutions with the state police and also by using the mass participation in elections. This is why the proletariat and the masses must develop the electoral boycott and
intensify the class struggle.
“IT IS RIGHT TO REBEL” (MAO ZEDONG)
Faced with the crisis, the
proletarians —the workers from
the cities and the countryside— are rebelling. Workers
from factories threatened with closure are
mobilizing against layoffs, the degradation of working conditions, wage cuts and increased working time, because they don’t
want to pay for the crisis. Peasants and agricultural workers resist and sometime are occupy
land. The masses are mobilizing against housing
evictions, tax increases, attacks on their environment, the dismantling of
public services, attacks on union freedoms and the rights of youth, women, etc.
These struggles are
taking place in all the countries in the world, like those of the auto and metallurgy
workers in France, Belgium, Germany and Italy, of the miners in Spain, while
masses are fighting against housing evictions, and the great students' struggle
in Canada, and in other countries also, against attacks on education and tax
increases.
And, moreover, like those
in India
where hundreds of millions of workers went on strike, or South Africa, where miners rebelled against the black and white ruling classes who exploit and oppress the workers, or Brazil, where poor peasants
and landless are occupying the
land they work.
In the Arab countries,
particularly in Tunisia and Egypt, despite the manoeuvres of imperialists to
protect their interests and support the new watchdogs, despite the fact that
these watchdogs are hiding themselves under the mask of religion in order to exploit
workers and people, to suppress the just rebellion before it becomes
revolution, the masses are finding their way and learning from their mistakes, for a genuine New Democratic
revolution, that cannot be achieved without the leadership of the working
class; this raises the questions of the revolutionary strategy, of armed struggle, and
the building of a vanguard party.
Imperialists and their
interventions are not able to stop and extinguish the anti-imperialist
struggles in the world, from Palestine, to Iraq, Afghanistan,
Latin America, nor against the new imperialist interventions in Libya, Syria,
Mali.
YOU CANNOT MAKE
REVOLUTION IN A PEACEFUL WAY!
The world is in turmoil;
the ideological understanding operates bit by bit or
with leaps, with advances and setbacks, in the ranks of the proletariat and the masses and on the
consciousness of the crisis and the nature of imperialism, the need to
overthrow it and build a new society on the ashes of the
old one.
In this new wave of struggle and resistance we
must support and strengthen the struggle for the liberation of peoples and for
new democracy, towards socialism and
communism. This is the context in which a potential new wave of the world
proletarian revolution develops and emerges. It has as its reference points and
strategic anchor the people's wars led by Maoist parties.
People’s War is the most advanced way to make
revolution, so we must support in every country in which it is being organized,
prepared by accumulating forces, and applied to the concrete conditions of each
country. Led by the CPI (Maoist), the People’s War in India is successfully resisting attacks from the
enemy and is managing to expand and grow. The People’s War is also unfolding in
the Philippines under the
leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines,
which upholds Maoism. In Peru,
it is continuing despite the action from a liquidationist current. In Turkey, the revolutionary struggle led by the
Maoists is advancing in accordance with the people’s war strategy. In other
countries, new initiatives and advances are in preparation.
We must
build and consolidate the proletarian parties for the revolution, parties of new type, Marxist-Leninist- Maoist
communist parties, in our respective countries, taking
into account our past experience and applying it to the current conditions of the imperialist system
of today.
This was clearly
expressed the 24th November 2012 in Hamburg
by the great International Conference in Support of the People’s War in India, in which hundreds of representatives of
revolutionary and anti-imperialist organizations and Maoist parties and
organizations from more than twenty countries have called to unite and
strengthen the class struggle in each country. It was a great example of
internationalism. We must advance to further strengthen and give organisational
form to proletarian internationalism.We must pursue the
international unity of the communists in the world towards the construction of
a new international organization to fight
together against imperialism and reaction and march together towards a new Communist International, for socialism and
communism.
Proletarians and oppressed people of all countries, unite!
Down with imperialism and all its
watchdogs!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
Long live world proletarian revolution!
