Support the People’s War in India!
The bosses of
world imperialist system carry out an offensive against the peoples of the
world. Imperialist wars of aggression as those against Iraq, Afghanistan
and Libya,
mark the beginning of the century. They prepare the next war against Syria, Iran or any other, because one
thing is certain, that they are not going to stop voluntarily. At the same
time, they impose on people the consequences of the crisis, especially on the
peoples in the oppressed nations, but also in the imperialist countries
themselves, the working class is constantly trampled and their fundamental
rights are quickly stolen away. In this situation, fascism is not a nebulous
threat, but an active force. At the same time, the imperialists systematically
destroy the planet. All this is well known. This shows that imperialism is
reaction all along the line, it shows that imperialism is not consistent with
the progress of humanity and, indeed, the survival of an ever larger part of
the world population. “The end of history” that the imperialists announced
loudly since the nineties, is a hell for the proletariat and peoples of the
world. But, more oppression spurs more resistance, and so, from Peru to the Philippines,
from the British Islands
to China, from Colombia to Kurdistan, from Nigeria to Greece, all around the world, the countries
want independence, the nations liberation, and the peoples revolution. This is
the basis for a current that will bury imperialism. The problem is, in many
cases, that the struggle against imperialism is limited only to the resistance
with no prospect but the mere survival. Therefore, in order to develop this resistance
as a powerful wave of anti-imperialist and revolutionary struggles, the
conscious organized factor is required to be able to lead the consequent struggle
to establish the people’s Power. Hence, it is worth the effort to take a look on
India.
India, which the ruling classes cynically present as the “Shining India” and a
supposed example of that imperialism brings “development”, is a heaven for
the rich and hell for the people.
While the wealth of
the 53 richest people in the country
is equal to 31% of GDP,
the 77% of the population live with
an income of less than 20 rupees (approximately 50 Euro cents) a day. Every
day 5,000 children die from starvation and malnutrition, that
is almost two million child deaths per year. The
percentage of hungry people is
greater than in Ethiopia. The
agrarian crisis, a direct result of
the imperialist policy, causes immense
misery to the peasantry and
results in a wave of suicides,
with hundreds of thousands of desperate peasants who have
committed suicide. “The greatest democracy
in the world”, is a country in which the big bourgeoisie and landlords do what they please. A
country where the caste system is still fully intact. Where different
minorities, different nationalities and peoples are forced to live in a “prison-house of
nations”. In order to increase the imperialist exploitation, they established Special
Economic Zones, where the so-called
“transnational” companies can operate without
limits. Tens of millions of people are forced to become internal refugees, because they are expelled
from the land where their ancestors have since
thousands of years, so that Capital can steal the raw materials existing there. We could mention many other
examples, this might fill all
a book, the question is clear: the anti-imperialistic and anti-feudal revolution is a necessity for the vast majority of the people of India.
This
revolution is ongoing. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) a people’s war develops - described by the most
important representatives of the ruling classes as the greatest danger for their system.
In the countryside there are thousands
of organizations of the genuine
people’s power. In the Revolutionary
People's Committees, those who for
centuries have had nothing have
started to construct their own
state. They organize with their
own forces a society where there is no hunger, where there is education and health, and the land
belongs to who tills it. There are
no landlords or lackeys of the imperialists. There, the needs of the people are law. There, they live the true democracy, the new democracy of the people.
In the cities, the mass organizations are advancing by leaps, in February this
year the working class of India
has carried out the biggest strike in history of humanity, involving 100
million people, and the ruling classes are terrified by the growing influence
of the Maoists. The People's War stirs the deepest foundations of society.
The ruling
classes and their imperialist bosses - how could it be otherwise? - are not
sitting quiet with folded arms watching the advance of the revolutionary
movement. They act as always and everywhere have done; they seek to drown in
blood the struggle of the people. “Specialists” in counterinsurgency from U.S.
and Israeli Mossad are there to assist on the field the repressive forces. Paramilitary State forces are fighting daily against
the guerrillas - the so-called paramilitaries are militarily organized and
armed. The Army and Air Force every time more openly takes part in the
fighting. The reactionary state has launched barbaric reactionary campaigns
such as: Salwa Judum, "Green Hunt", among others, and implemented a
policy that is comparable to the Nazi campaign against anti-fascist resistance
in World War II. They apply systematic murder, torture and “disappearances”
against the revolutionary leaders.
But the people do not summit.
The people’s war advances without stopping, with the clear course
in direction of seizing Power. This is possible, since the conscious and
organized factor, which we have spoken about above, exists and is able to
consistently lead the fight to the end. Their struggle is just and it is an
internationalist duty to give them our full and unwavering support. The People's War in India has to merge with the struggle
of peoples around the world and
be a part of the great revolutionary
current that will ultimately defeat imperialism. The development of a consistent anti-imperialist movement in a
country of 1.2 billion people will change the balance of forces between
imperialism and the oppressed nations, and therefore it would be a great boost
for the revolutionary forces around the world. To
support this movement does not
mean only to fulfill an
obligation, but to serve the advancement of our movement in all countries.
It
is in this sense that we organize an international conference on 24 November
this year in Hamburg.
We hope that this conference will be a major boost to the international
movement of support to the People's War in India. Delegations from different
countries will participate in it and through this they will bring their
experiences and ideas on how to raise this campaign to a higher level. We want
a conference that expresses the initiative, the energy and the anti-imperialist
and revolutionary will of proletarians, women, youth, immigrants, progressive
artists and intellectuals. We do not want it to be only a formal act, but a
living expression of proletarian internationalism, so that it may serve to give
concrete progresses to the campaign of support. The conference is open to all
forces who share this objective. Therefore:
Everybody to the International Conference in Support
of the War in India!
