 Celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of Naxalbari Armed AGRARIAN Revolutionary
UPSURGE in all the rural areas with revolutionary enthusiasm and inspiration!

THE PATH OF Naxalbari is the only path for the
liberation of the oppressed masses of india!

Let us raze imperialism and feudalism to ashes in the fire of the

People’s War created by Naxalbari!
Let us make success the new democratic revolution!

Dear Comrades, Friends!
Like a spark becoming a flame the Armed Agrarian Revolutionary struggle of Naxalbari area of
Siliguri Sub-Division in Darjeeling district in Bengal directed the path of Indian Revolution.
Since then Naxalbari came to be known not as a mere village but as a symbol of a political path.
The Naxalbari Armed Rebellion will complete fifty years on 23rd May, 2017.
With the inspiration from the Great Debate against the modern revisionism of Khrushchev and
the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the leadership of the Communist Party of China led
by Comrade Mao, a large number of Maoist revolutionaries including first rank leaders like
Comrade Charu Mazumdar and Comrade Kanhai Chatterjee jumped into the arena.
Since 1967 March the poor peasantry started rebelling against the landlords and the money
lenders and seized their lands. As per the then leader of CPM and the Home Minister in the
State government Jyoti Basu’s directions, the government armed police forces made an attack
on the peasantry on the 23rd of May in village Naxalbari. In the armed conflict one policeman
died. On the 25th the police made indiscriminate firing on the people in the village Prasadjote in
which eleven persons including eight women and two children laid down their lives. The Peking
Radio described the Naxalbari rebellion as ‘Spring Thunder’. Within no time the spark of
Naxalbari spread across the country to Srikakulam (Andhra Pradesh), Mushahari (Bihar),
Lakhimpur-Kheri, Terai (Uttar Pradesh), Debra-Gopi Ballavpur, Birbhum, Sonarpur, Kanksa
(Bengal), Punjab, Kerala, Tamilnadu, Odisha, Kashmir, Asom and Tripura. The Guerilla War of
the armed peasantry against the Police, Para-Military forces and the Indian Army who came
with the support of the landlords, terrorised the landlords and the imperialists. This
revolutionary wave not only made an impact on the rural areas but also on the urban areas.
There was large scale urban guerilla war in the capital city of Bengal, Kolkata in the leadership
of the students and the youth.
The great Naxalbari rebellion is the result of creative application of - Marxism-Leninism-Mao
Thought, the path of Protracted People’s War of building People’s Army with the objective of
making the New Democratic Revolution a success, seizing power area-wise through armed
struggle, first liberating the rural areas and then finally encircling the towns and achieving
country-wide success – to the specific conditions of India. This is a blow to the deep-rooted
revisionism in Indian Revolution. This is an inseparable part of the World Socialist Revolution.
It made a break with revisionism and with the guidance of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Thought
stood as a great beginning for the formation of a Maoist Revolutionary Party, for a genuine
political path, strategy, method of struggle and method of leadership. In a way this is a great
turn and a qualitative leap in the history of Indian Revolution.

Pays basque : Appel de prisonniers basques contre la répression dans le monde - infosolidaire

À l’occasion de la Journée internationale des prisonniers politiques, les prisonniers basques Garikoitz Etxeberria, Jon Kepa Preciado, Patxi Ruiz et Mikel Sansebastian ont publié une déclaration dénonçant la répression au niveau mondial, affirmant que « l’oppression et la brutalité sont parmi les principaux piliers de la survie du capital ». Dans leur texte, ils lient les différentes situations internationales de détention, évoquant la Palestine où « le sionisme torture des milliers de femmes, d’hommes et d’enfants dans ses prisons », mais aussi l’Irlande, la Turquie, l’Inde ou encore le Sahara occidental, en soulignant des grèves de la faim, des détentions prolongées et des violations des droits fondamentaux.

Ils citent également des cas emblématiques comme  María José Baños Andújar, détenue gravement malade dans l’Etat espagnol, Mumia Abu-Jamal, détenu aux États-Unis depuis 1981, ainsi que d’autres prisonniers politiques confrontés à de graves conditions de détention en Amérique latine et ailleurs. Dans leur texte, ils dénoncent une violence carcérale largement invisibilisée, affirmant que « nous ne verrons jamais la violence structurelle des prisons dans les médias », et accusent les États se revendiquant démocratiques de maintenir des systèmes répressifs. Malgré la diversité des contextes, ils affirment partager une même lutte, déclarant « nous maintenons ce que nous proclamions dans la rue », tout en poursuivant leur engagement en prison et en appelant à une « amnistie totale » ainsi qu’à la solidarité internationale avec tous les prisonniers politiques.

Blood for Oil, Bodies for Profit: The Imperialist Slaughter in the Middle East-No War but the Class War! - for debate

by Dr G Shankar

23/04/2026

A Bright Future – by Mr. Fish

                                       The War will end

                                       The leaders will shake hands

                                       The old woman will keep waiting for her

                                                    Martyred son

                                      The girl will wait for her

                                                   Beloved husband

                                     And those children will wait for their hero father

                                     I do not know we sold our homeland

                                    But I saw who paid the price.

                Palestine’s national poet Mahmoud Darwish in these lines expressed in the most soaring and stark ways the realities and injustice of dispossession, rootlessness of refugees and the ache of belonging to one’s land. Words are often the only weapon available to fight back, finding the power to shape perception. In terms of perception, Trump seemed to have suffered at home because of the war while Netanyahu seems to have bolstered his strongman image at home. Several surveys in both these countries indicate this. Some in US are even demanding Trump’s impeachment. The only way out for him is a deal with Iran that helps fill the US’s coffers. The US will go for mid-term poll in September and Israel will hold elections in October this year. Can the two leaders be capable of offering an honest answer?

               War is often narrated through maps, missiles and men in power. It is framed as strategy, deterrence or survival- especially in a volatile axis involving the US, Israel and Iran. Yet, as Darwish reminds us, the true ledger of war is not written in treaties but in absence: the empty chair at dinner, the unanswered call, the long wait that never ends.

We Condemn the Police Attack on Doruk Mining Workers!

 

We Condemn the Police Attack on Doruk Mining Workers!

Workers employed in mining operations across Turkey are forced to work under harsh and unsafe conditions. This situation has led to the loss of many workers’ lives as a result of repeated accidents over the years. These accidents, caused entirely by unsafe conditions, are essentially industrial homicides. Furthermore, the non-payment of wages in many companies has led to workers seeking their rights and engaging in resistance. Indeed, the recent resistance carried out by Doruk Mining workers stands out as a current example of this process.

“We don’t want charity, we want our rights”

Workers at Doruk Mining, a company affiliated with Yıldızlar SSS Holding in Eskişehir, are continuing their struggle—initiated in response to unpaid wages, redundancies and obstacles to the right to organise—in order to bring their cause to the public’s attention. 

Organised within the Independent Miners’ Union, the workers marched from Eskişehir to Ankara under the slogan “We don’t want charity, we want our rights” to make their voices heard. At the end of their nine-day march, a police raid on the press conference they intended to hold outside the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources resulted in the arrest of union officials and many workers, and their planned meeting with the ministry was blocked. The workers, however, have refused to back down from their resolute stance and have announced that they will continue their resistance with a hunger strike. 

Who is Yıldızlar SSS Holding?

Following the transfer of the mine—which had been seized by the TMSF (Deposit Insurance Fund) in 2016—to Yıldızlar SSS Holding in 2022, many of the workers’ rights were violated, and payments for severance pay, notice pay, overtime and wages ceased. As a result, the number of mine workers has fallen from 1,200 to 300. 

Yıldızlar SSS Holding owns numerous mining and energy operations across Turkey and frequently comes under scrutiny for practices such as the non-payment of workers’ wages, seniority and notice pay, and forcing workers onto unpaid leave without their consent. 

The miners’ demands are as follows:

They are demanding the full payment of unpaid wages, bonuses and annual leave entitlements accrued both before and after the TMSF takeover, as well as the reinstatement and safeguarding of their trade union rights. This also includes redressing the grievances of workers who were unfairly dismissed and whose compensation has not been paid. The demand is for the abolition of the compulsory unpaid leave imposed on workers without their consent, the provision of working conditions compliant with OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) regulations, and the reinstatement of workers dismissed for leading the trade union struggle. Furthermore, in order to ensure job security and safeguard the mine’s sustainability, the nationalisation of the company and the legal safeguarding of workers’ job security are being demanded.

Your Resistance Is Our Resistance!

Hundreds of workers have lost their lives in the workplace tragedies caused by the slave-like and precarious working conditions faced by miners. The attacks on the protests organised by workers to voice their most basic demands—such as the improvement of health and safety conditions, the payment of their social entitlements and wages—constitute an attack on all workers and labourers. 

As the Confederation of Turkish Workers in Europe, we support the resistance of all miners in Turkey, particularly that of the workers at Yıldızlar SSS Holding, and we condemn the police’s attack on the workers. We call on all workers and labourers, particularly the miners, to embrace the resistance initiated by the workers of Doruk Madencilik through international solidarity. 

The Miners’ Resistance Is Our Resistance!

Long Live International Solidarity!

Resist Marcos plans to cede 1,600 hectares to the US imperialists

Marco L. Valbuena, Chief Information Officer

Communist Party Of The Philippines

April 22, 2026

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) vigorously condemns the Marcos regime for its reported plan to establish a 1,600-hectare Economic Security Zone, and to grant the United States blanket extra-territorial rights over this so-called industrial hub under the so-called Luzon Economic Corridor. The Party calls on the Filipino people to unite and take action to resist this gross sell-out and act of betrayal of Philippine sovereignty.

Marcos must be held to account for this brazen act of subservience to US imperialists. The puppet regime is practically ceding part of the country under the guise of an "economic security zone" that will be operated under US common laws with diplomatic-style protection. The initial lease will be for two years, during which it will operate tax free, and is renewable for 99 years.

This "economic zone" will practically be American territory in Luzon for a century. Having ceded political and legal authority over this land, the Philippines will not be able to stop the US from using this land for military production, stockpiling or other non-economic purposes.

Reports indicate that this will be established on public land at the former US Clark Air Base in Pampanga, covering much of the ancestral land of the Aetas. The plan to set up this US zone will likely force them out of what is left of their ancestral land, as well as dispossess other peasant communities of their homes and farms, both within and in surrounding areas. Marcos haste to cede vast tracts of land to American capitalists starkly contrasts to how millions of peasants remain landless despite decades of labor and amortization payments.

The project will give the US greater control of the country's key resources. The declared aim of this project is for the US to secure supply chains for critical minerals and other resources by moving processing of Philippine exports away from China, under its so-called Pax Silica initiative. The undeclared aim of the US is to have exclusive control of the Philippines as part of its imperialist sphere of influence and control.

This planned economic zone takes away the country's ability to exercise an independent foreign policy. It nullifies Philippine national interest, and tethers Philippine foreign policy more tightly to the US, aligning the country with US national interests, and pitting Filipinos against American adversaries, especially China. It pulls the Philippines deeper into the rising spiral of imperialist conflicts.

The project is being touted as an "industrial hub," but has nothing to do with developing the local economy. It will only tie the country down further as a supplier of raw materials and cheap labor. It will also likely reopen Pampanga's cities to the harmful presence of American soldiers and nationals, which became a cesspool for prostitution, drugs and other anti-social activities during the height of operations of the US Clark Air Base.

The planned US economic zone to extract and process crucial minerals is bound to accelerate the destruction of the country's environment, as American companies seek to extract greater amounts of nickel, copper and other minerals critical for the production of semiconductors that serve as crucial components of US jet fighters, drones, missiles and other modern armaments for military aggression (such as the bombing of Iran and assault on Venezuela), as well as industrial machinery and commercial commodities.

Under its full control, the US boasts that the economic zone will fully utilize "artificial intelligence" to reduce the need for workers. Some neoliberal economists who are cheering the project are raising false hopes that this project will help alleviate Philippine unemployment or help boost the local economy.

That the "economic zone" will be under full US sovereignty underscores how it will only reinforce the backward, agrarian and non-industrial state of local production. It will only further relegate the country's status as a semicolonial country. The US "economic security zone" will neither bring development or security to the country.

The Marcos puppet regime has allowed the US to place the Philippines under its military domination, having allowed the US to set up more and more military bases, facilities and sites across the country.

The US imperialists under Trump are using their military stranglehold over the country to make the claim that the Philippines belongs to the US and not to China. The US uses the AFP and the puppet regime to silence and suppress any and all who proclaim the Philippines as a sovereign nation, belonging to no one but the Filipino people.

Amid its economic crisis and strategic decline, the US has grown increasingly desperate to seize more parts of the world to put under its dominion. It will do so through military aggression or invasion, or in the case of the Philippines, military coercion.

The broad masses of the Filipino people must resist this Marcos scheme to cede Philippine land to the US imperialists. They must exert all efforts to frustrate this betrayal of Philippine sovereignty.

The fight against this so-called US "economic security zone" is inextricably linked to the struggle against US military intervention. The Filipino people must intensify their struggle against increasing US military presence and heighten their demand for the dismantling of all US military bases and facilities, and the withdrawal of all American troops and stockpiled weapons from the country.

The struggle against the US "economic and security zone" and its heightened military presence in the Philippines form part of the much bigger struggle against US imperialist domination in the country. These gross affronts to Philippine sovereignty underscore the need to carry forward the revolutionary struggle to achieve the people's aspiration for genuine national freedom and democracy.

TAKE TO THE STREETS THIS MAY DAY AGAINST IMPERIALIST WARS, FASCISM, POVERTY AND EXPLOITATION! - Atik

 

TAKE TO THE STREETS THIS MAY DAY AGAINST IMPERIALIST WARS, FASCISM, POVERTY AND EXPLOITATION!

As we mark May Day, the international day of the working class, the world has for some time been dragged into an ever-deepening climate of war and division, driven by imperialist aggression, occupations and conflicts spreading across regions and now taking on a global character. The contradictions between the imperialist blocs (USA–NATO–EU and China–Russia), along with the capitalist states aligned with them, are becoming increasingly clear. This points to greater oppression and exploitation for working people and all oppressed groups. In an attempt to overcome its crisis, imperialism is pushing humanity towards war, massacres and an uncertain future, while at the same time increasing military spending by billions and forcing working people to foot the bill. WE WILL NOT PAY FOR THEIR CRISIS!

The ongoing war following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, alongside the genocide carried out by Zionist Israel in Palestine, shows how US imperialism is returning to its traditional methods—casting aside its own so-called legal order and reverting to the rule of the strong over the weak—in an effort to reassert its weakening dominance. The pressure placed on Venezuela and Cuba is part of this approach. The current aggression towards Iran is another example of attempts to restore its declining hegemony. At the same time, the China–Russia bloc has been steadily expanding its influence over global markets. Trade agreements with countries long considered part of the US’s “backyard” have reached billions, and investment in these regions continues to grow. From the Middle East to Asia, from the Caucasus to Africa, this bloc is increasing its economic and political reach. In response, US imperialism—ignoring even its own alliances and pressuring NATO and the EU into unconditional support—is driving the world towards greater destruction under the slogan of “Make America Great Again.”

THE EU SEEKS ITS SHARE OF IMPERIALIST WAR!

Across Europe, governments are prioritising militarisation, with military budgets reaching record highs. Workers’ taxes are being handed over to the arms industry, fuelling increased weapons production. At the same time, militarism is being normalised across society. Efforts to reintroduce conscription, expand military education in schools, intensify recruitment campaigns, and promote the armed forces through the media all serve to prepare the public for war.
