In honour of the fighters of Paris 1968
Comrades!
This
is a message from Serve the People – Communist League. I am
honoured with the task of delivering this to you. First of all, the
League salutes the Maoist Communist Party of France and all red
fighters in France. The League salutes the conference on the great
May revolt of 1968, we greet the organizers and activists, and we
thank you for your hospitality – and most of all, for your
proletarian internationalist comradery.
May
'68 had it’s epicenter here in France, in Nantes, in Paris, in the
factories, universities and streets of this country where the masses
of people has a long and glorious history of rebellion. But May '68
was internationalist in it’s content. And the waves raised by the
masses of France, rolled over Europe. Even in Norway, the storms of
'68 had a great impact.
The
new communist movement of Norway set sail in this storm of class
struggle. It was the perfect circumstances to found the new
Marxist-Leninist movement. And Norwegian Marxist-Leninists was not
only inspired by May '68. They learned from it, and propagated the
lessons of the rebellion – and of the repression.
In a
great speech on proletarian dictatorship, the Marxist Leninist leader
Tron Øgrim pointed to the commune of Nantes in 1968, as an example
of red power. He explained for Norwegian students in 1970, how the
red power was dictatorial – for the capitalists – but democracy
for the people. His conclusion was that this dictatorship was a great
expansion of the freedom of the people.
His
conclusion was that France 68 was proof that people’s power has to
be defended by violence. And the reason 1968 did not lead to
socialism, was betrayel from the revisionists and that the masses did
not grasp Mao's tesis that political power grows from the barrel of a
gun.
Today,
50 years later, our ideology must go further than the
Marxist-Leninists of 1970. To little revolutionary violence, to
little proletarian dictatorship – is both the truth, but how? By
whom? Our ideology today, the third and higher stage of Marxism, the
omnipotent Maoism, gives us the key to unlock greater lessons in this
question.
Comrades!
Let us honour the fighters of '68, by raising the red flags over
Europe again! Let us raise them, and keep them flying – through ice
and fire, through ebb and flow, through storm till shining communism!
Let
us build Maoist Communist Parties in all countries! People’s war
until communism! In the spirit of proletarian internationalism –
red front!
