Merger
Declaration of CPI(Maoist) and CPI(M-L)Naxalbari
Hail
the Merger of the Maoist Parties in India into a Single Party!
(Released
to the press by comrades Abhay and Krantipriya, spokespersons of the
respective parties)
On
this occasion of the International day of the world proletariat, the
glorious May Day, we the Maoists of India, with a great sense of
responsibility and firm conviction, announce the merger of the CPI
(Maoist) and CPI(M-L) Naxalbari into a single party, to be known as
CPI(Maoist). Thus strengthening the vanguard of the Indian
proletariat, which is a contingent of the world proletariat, we
dedicate ourselves evermore firmly to the cause of the Indian
revolution and the world proletarian revolution.
The Maoist movement
took form through the great Naxalbari uprising of 1967. Inspired and
led by comrades Charu Mazumdar and Kanhai Chatterjee, founder leaders
of our party, thousands of leaders, cadres and masses laid down their
invaluable lives to advance the revolutionary movement and build a
strong party.
After the setback of
early 1970s and the martyrdom of comrade Charu Mazumdar, the
communist revolutionary forces were divided into many groups. The
genuine revolutionaries while trying to build the movement in their
respective areas made serious attempts to unify all revolutionaries
into a single party. In the course of this process over the last four
decades the two main streams represented by the erstwhile CPI (ML)
(People’s War) and the MCCI merged into a single party, the CPI
(Maoist), on 21st
September 2004. This marked a qualitative leap in realizing a long
drawn aspiration of the workers, peasants and other oppressed masses
to build a single directing centre leading the new democratic
revolutionary war in India to success and marching forward to
establishing socialism and then communism. Similarly, the CPI (ML)
Naxalbari made serious efforts to unify all genuine Maoist forces by
fighting against the revisionism of erstwhile CRC, CPI (ML) led by
the liquidationist K. Venu and Red Flag led by the opportunist KN
Ramachandran. As a culmination of these processes the two parties the
CPI (Maoist) and CPI (ML) Naxalbari have unified, thus our party, the
CPI (Maoist), have been further strengthened. This unification has
proved beyond doubt that, on the one hand, by mobilising oppressed
masses in Protracted People’s War against the ruling classes and
imperialism and, on the other, by adhering to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
and the revolutionary line of the party and waging persistent
struggle against the revisionists and liquidationists, all the
genuine Maoist forces can unite into a single party, however long a
process it might be. Our party shall continue the task of unifying
all the genuine revolutionary forces functioning in various ML
groups.
The unified party
takes Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as its guiding ideology and deepens its
understanding by upholding, defending and applying it creatively.
Continuously summing up the lessons of its revolutionary practice and
learning from the experiences of the revolutionary contingents of the
proletariat and struggling people all over the world it develops its
line and practice. It shoulders the tasks of carrying out the
anti-feudal, anti-imperialist new democratic revolution. This
revolution leads to socialism and further to communism by continuing
the revolution through cultural revolutions. Imperialism, feudalism
and bureaucrat capitalism are the targets of the new democratic
revolution, whose main content is the armed agrarian revolution. The
path of revolution is that of protracted people’s war. The
contradiction between feudalism and the broad masses is principal. It
considers that the contradiction between imperialism and the
oppressed nations and peoples is the principal contradiction at the
world level. It is intensifying along with the other basic
contradictions in the world.
The unity now
achieved gives a boost to the capacity of the CPI (Maoist) to better
fulfill its role as the vanguard of the Indian revolution. Over
decades of arduous struggle, sacrificing thousands of lives of great
communist leaders, red fighters and oppressed masses, the CPI
(Maoist) has developed the people’s war in India to the level where
guerilla bases and red political power, in the form of Revolutionary
Peoples Committees, have been established in central and eastern
India, protected by the People’s Liberation Guerilla Army and the
People’s Militia. This has been achieved by fighting against most
vicious suppression campaigns, now concentrated in Operation Green
Hunt - a war against the people. As part of this, tens of thousands
of people have been brutally attacked. Murder, rape, burning down
houses and destroying crops, forcible displacement and many other
inhuman practices are common. Now the Indian state is actively
rehearsing airborne and ground attack with its air force and army.
But despite this murderous onslaught the protracted people’s war
continues to advance in waves. The recent expansion it has made in
the southern part of the Western Ghats situated along the western
coast of the Indian peninsula is proof that the flames of revolution
will continue to spread till the Indian state, this pillar of
imperialism in South Asia, is destroyed.
When the
imperialists and their lackey ruling classes all over the world are
trapped in an unabated crisis, the favourable revolutionary situation
in the world has led to intense class struggles in the imperialist
world and people’s wars led by Maoists and anti-imperialist
struggles by other forces in oppressed countries. In India, on the
one hand, the ruling classes have deployed four lakhs of its
mercenary forces in central and eastern India, where the class
struggle has reached the stage of intense revolutionary civil war,
emerging as a revolutionary alternative, which is inspiring vast
oppressed masses towards revolution and is concretised in the
formation of People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) and the new
democratic state in its embryonic form. It is stepping up
militarisation of Western Ghats to crush the budding revolutionary
armed struggle. On the other hand, it is forcibly thrusting the
anti-people globalisation policies on the workers, peasants,
adivasis, dalits, women and other oppressed masses, leading to an
increase in militant struggles. Utilising this favourable situation
the party will make greater efforts to advance the revolutionary
movement to a higher level and better fulfill its international
tasks. It will strive go all out to mobilise the masses in lakhs,
intensify and expand the guerrilla war, meet the critical challenges
faced by the revolutionary movement and overcome them.
Painfully aware of
the deep suffering and misery in which the vast majority of the
people are forced to live in India and the world over by the inhuman
world imperialist system, conscious of the devastation caused by this
system on the global environment and the very existence of life on
this earth, cherishing the memories of the thousands of martyrs who
laid down their lives for the cause of communism, and rallying under
the Red Flag crimson with their blood, we pledge to make this unity
we have achieved a powerful weapon of revolution.
