Against the NGO/INGO Project : An article Dedicated To our revolutionary Comrade by: Rishi Raj Baral

Last week, The Next Front  had posted two  articles-The Drawback Of Nepal's Revolution : The NGO's Harvest and Civil societies and NGOs : The  Imperialist components, by Sava Nabalam. These articles got enthusiastic response from  the viewers inside the country and abroad.
 During the 10 years  People's War the NGO/INGO and multinational companies were driven out  from the rural areas. They were not allowed to enter in the war zone and Base Areas.  We were fully aware of that NGO/INGO are the tools of imperialism and they serve the interest of reactionary governments.
 During the People's War we published dozens of  articles  unmasking the reactionary role of NGO/INGOs. TO educate the party cadres we translated  many articles also from English  and other languages. But after the 'Peace process' as Nabalam has mentioned in his article,  we were  entrapped in the hand of INGOs- the imperialist components. Our comrades, especially those comrades, who worked as the member of the constituent assembly were/ are badly affected by INGO culture. Travelling the capitalist countries, enough pocket money to enjoy and regular meeting and seminars at  5 star hotels, have made them lousy and dull.
INGOs have provided our comrades more than one laptop-computers.  But they  never used and are not  using  their computers properly . They have no interest  to visit  revolutionary websites and articles. They are habituated in luxurious life style and they prefer to waste time in making gossip. They use their computers as the toy for their children- playing video games from morning to evening.  Even the senior members of the Maoist party are not interested to visit revolutionary websites and to study current ICM. In  the party meeting they always talk about revolution, but in practice they always think about their personal life and means of  how to earn money.  Here we must be clear that it does not apply to all, it is the matter of a few number. But frankly, I would like to stress that the NGO/INGO virus has badly damaged/damaging the Maoist party  and the Nepalese revolution.
It is not only the matter of Prachanda-Baburam group,  (it is known to all that Prachanda himself is the co- chairman of APECF- Sino-American INGO), it is the matter of revolutionary Comrades too. The main trend of CPN-Maoist is revolutionary, but it is the matter to note that some of the  comrades of CPN-Maoist, especially Comrades from the ethnic and dalit (lower caste) community are badly affected by NGO/INGO culture. In this regard, I would like to mention the name of the  group of CA members'-Janajati Caucus', 'Women Caucus', 'Dalit Caucus' and so on. But there was/is no any Caucus regarding the problem of landless people. What a matter of irony ! There is a women's network called as 'Mahila sanjal,' where most of the women leaders of CPN-Maoist also were/are involved. It is known to all that 'Mahila sanjal' is not the joint front of the oppressed women, but this is an INGO based on bourgeois ideology and interest.
 We all know these days Nepal is facing a new type of problem that is 'Federalism of single jatiya identity'- that is ethnicity based federalism.  At present  NGO/INGO are expanding their role in the name of 'federalism'. In the name of 'Adivasi'( indigenous) and Ethnic problem, marginalized community  and 'inclusiveness,'  NGO/INGO are extending  their activities against Marxism and revolutionary activities. They are against class struggle and  pleading  the significance  of Clash of civilization. Most of the university professors from the ethnic community and ex-officers from the Nepal army, are the followers of Clash of civilization. They are breaking political  parties and  backing  the 'Janajati' leaders to form a new party based on ethnicity.  The leaders from the ethnic community have no any hesitation to accept that they are directed by the imperialist countries. Openly they have declared that they have taken millions of dollar from America and European countries in th!
e name of Adivasi and ethnic community .  And  it is the matter to note that in the name of federalism and 'single jatiya identity' our revolutionary comrades  also are running behind them.
It is true, imperialists and Indian reactionaries  have succeed to damage the Nepalese revolution and it is clear that in the coming days, they will try to their best to damage it more. We must be conscious on this issue. Federalism  should  not be the main  objective of a revolutionary party, its  goal  is the New Democratic Revolution. Then what for Maoist party is pleading federal system of 'Ekal jatiya identity' ?    It  is the question to be answered.
The goal of revolutionaries  is not just to 'restructure of the state',  but to destroy, to snatch it, and  to build a new one. The new Maoist party, led by Comrade Mohan Baidhya also, in national convention's document, has emphasised the issue of federalism and politics of identity.  Instead of forwarding class struggle against the reactionary ideology  and class, knowingly or unknowing our comrades are running behind the reactionary philosophy of -Clash of Civilization.  What a fun Û Verbally some of our comrades use the word Maoism and talk also about revolution, but in practice they always  think about  the ethnicity and politics of single identity- a politics of  imperialist interest. It is the matter to be worried.
These days, Nepalese revolution is facing two kinds of problems: politics of neo-revisionism and national surrender and the politics of Ekal jatiya Pahichan- that is politics of single identity. These  two problems are interrelated and inseparable in theory and practice. On one hand the imperialists and expansionists are using the politics a of 'red flag against red flag' and on another hand,  they are directly involved in the ethnic politics. In hilly region western powers are backing jananati against Brahman-Chhetri-the upper caste and race, and in Tarai (plain area ) region, the agent of Indian expansionism are repeating the slogan of 'Ek Madhes EK Pradesh'- that is breaking  Tarai region  from the Nepal's map, a direct intervention by Indian expansionism. And  in one way and another our comrades  have been trapped by these  reactionary trends. This type of thinking leads only disaster not the people's emancipation. We urge our Comrades to be clear in this issue- practice M!
arxism not post-modernism.
We must be   sincere to solve the problems of oppressed community- caste, gender and region. But it must be solved within the frame work of Marxism, not outside from this.  Revolutionaries should take this issue  gravely and fight harshly against the erroneous  tendencies adopting to solve these problems, which are running within the  Maoist movement of Nepal.
We have already plenty of articles regarding the negative role of NGO/INGOs.  We have a book entitled  Globalisation of information and Cultural Imperialism by Rishi Raj Baral, which contains the articles about the reactionary role of Media Moguls   and   NGO/INGOs. We know our comrades are not unknown about the role of INGOs, in fact, they are badly affected by the INGO culture and  it is not easy for them to come out from this dark cave.
Only Class struggle will win over these problems-it means moving towards the New Democratic Revolution. We must be determined that class struggle led by Marxism-Leninism and Maoism is the main vehicle of revolution. It is one and only way to solve all types of suppression and to move forward.
Now we have come out from the 'Petofi Club' of Prachanda. But  it is not enough, there are a lot of things to be done. Things are not going  in the correct direction. We must be clear in our destination. Combat liberalism- we must follow the teaching of Comrade Mao. And Combat empiricism, pragmatism and regionalism too. To  follow the Maoism means to follow the teachings of The Great Chinese  Cultural Revolution- firmly. It is the main  task of CPN-Maoist  to make people ensure that for the safe guard of national sovereignty and emancipation of the Nepalese people, they are moving ahead, not only in words, but in practice too. Now  the time has come to take  a great leap.
