Comrade Charu Mazumder Said: Hate, stamp and smash centrism!

Spring thunder over India. In spring, 1967, Comrade Charu Majumder initiated people’s war in India. Then developed Mao Thought party CPI (ML). To develop party and people’s war Charu Majumder had to fight revisionism, had to carry sharp struggle against centrism. He said:

“The struggle between the two lines is there within the Party and will continue to be there. We must oppose and defeat the incorrect line. But we must be on our guard against centrism. Centrism is a brand of revisionism - its worst form. In the past, revisionism was defeated again and again by revolutionary elements but centrism always seized the victories of the struggle and led the Party along the revisionist path. We must hate centrism. On the question of boycotting elections, Naggi Reddy said : "Yes we accept it but it should be restricted to a certain area at a certain period. We will participate in elections where there is no struggle." This is Naggy Reddy's line. This is centrism. We have fought against it and have thrown the Naggy Reddy's out of our organization. Regarding Soviet social - imperialism some say : " The Soviet leaders are revisionists. But how can they be imperialists ? Where is that development of monopoly capital ?" These are centrists. We have fought them and thrown them out of our Party. So the centrists raised the questions of trade unions and "working class based party" when armed clash is to be developed by relying on the peasantry. We fought Asit Sen and company on these lines and threw them out of the Party.

We must not only distinguish between the correct and incorrect line but also find out the centrist position and smash it.

Now the centrist attack is coming from inside the Party. On the question of using fire arms, the dependence on the petty-bourgeois intellectuals and the battle of annihilation, the Party is facing centrist atttacks…”

“….So the leaders of world revisionism are trying to contact the various groups which pay lip service to Chairman Mao and the C.P.C. and are trying to unite them to oppose the battle of annihilation of the class enemy. We refuse to unite with this groups because they are opposed to annihilation of the class enemy, to class struggle and so, are enemies of the people….”

So, there could be no revolutionary party in India without fighting against centrism.

Many will question class enemy annihilation.

Comrade Charu Majumder envisioned line of class enemy annihilation as a way to smash political and military authority of class enemies. To him it was war. Communists never liked to carry physical assassination nor do now. In course of war, class enemies itself carry its destruction.

Charu Majumder wanted to release the initiative of peasant masses.

Of course, revolutionaries will not build revolutionary war anywhere now by carrying class annihilation campaign as before. This is because, by the change of time, through shedding own blood, revolutionaries learned how to carry war more consolidated way, through less bloodshed than before and more controlled way. The annihilation line of comrade Charu Majumder had an influence over chairman Siraj Sikder too, but he, in the context of Bangladesh, creatively carried war in more controlled way and he said to minimize number of annihilation. Later on, Peru People’s war led by Comrade Gonzallo more clearly manifested the comprehensiveness of people’s war and how to smash political and military authority of class enemy in course of war.

Today, when struggle against centrism in international communist movement is at high peak, Indian communists are silent. It worries us. We want to learn from comrade charu Majumder who guided us: “Hate, stamp and smash centrism!”
