World we
live in is an ever changing and dynamic World full of contradictions. It is our
opinion that the left in generally is failing to provide a valid explanation
for the processes in which we are entangled today and a successful program for
overcoming the contradictions in which we are forced to live. It is also true
however, that nothing about todays' World can be explained without
understanding imperialism.
Imperialism
is undoubtedly the source of main contradictions. Its race to save their profit
margin forces imperialist Capital not just create all the conflicts and wars
with even greater regularity in the last few years of the crisis, but also to
be in constant war against the working class and the peoples of the World. This
constant war can be seen in the attacks on the working-class wages and standard
of living in the imperialist countries, racist attacks of the system against
migrants and youth, it can be seen in the destruction of industrial working
class and aggressive privatization process in dependent countries of Eastern Europe and other countries of European
"periphery". It is of out most importance again today to remind
ourselves of what we should have learned a century ago - that imperialism is
not a policy of one country interfering in the affairs of another. It is a
stage of capitalism in which monopoly Capitals can not exist without producing
regular wars between themselves but also waging continuous war against the
peoples of the World.
This wars
are not the choice of either the Capital because it can not exist without this war,
or the proletariat because the war against it is already here. The existence of
an opened armed struggle does not depend on how "democratic" a State
is, it depends on how strong is the resistance of the peoples against the
Capital. Only a strong peoples resistance forces States to use fascism in the
sense we used to understand it - as an open dictatorship of the most
reactionary forces of financial Capital as opposed to the hidden dictatorship
we know as parlimentarism. So, opened armed attacks against the peoples is an
unavoidable part of the attempts of the dictatorship of the Capital to maintain
its rule when confronted with a peoples' revolutionary movement.
India is our strongest front of struggle
against the dictatorship of the Capital. It is not so only because of this or
that historical specific development in India, but first and foremost because of the revolutionary
movement capable of understanding the contradictions in which it is forced to
work in. The genocidal campaign of the dictatorship of the Capital against the
peoples of India
is the result of the capability of revolutionary movement to open a front of
resistance to this dictatorship. In that sense, the Peoples' War in India is an
immensely important contemporary lesson for the left which, sadly, it is
incapable of understanding.
This
resistance to imperialist genocidal war against the peoples of India is no less important than the Peoples
Liberation War in Vietnam
in the last century. However, the level of support for this legitimate struggle
of the Indian revolutionary movement on the part of the left is nowhere near the
support that was provided to the Vietnamese revolutionary movement in the
sixties and seventies. Large section of the left, especially in the imperialist
countries, is either ignoring the war altogether or is involved in the ridiculous
sectarian and dogmatic denunciations of the huge Indian revolutionary movement
and refuses to analyze its importance outside its already determined categories.
The relative lack of support for the Peoples' War in India is one of the clearest signs
of the weakness of the World revolutionary movement today.
The
importance of Peoples' War in India
is not only in its huge proportions and the corresponding level of genocidal
atrocities committed by imperialism against the peoples of India, but it
is also in its potential. Contradictions in todays' India, which is a the same time
a dependent country but also a relevant exporter of Capital, which has one of
the greatest economic growths in the World but a huge section of its people
live in premodern conditions, which is a nuclear power but can not control its
own territory, make todays' India into a potential "weakest link of
imperialism". The victory of revolutionary forces there would irreversibly
change the World completely.
Because of
this, the support for the People's War in India is not adventuorism of the romantic
western left which looks to other countries because it is incapable to struggle
in its own country, it is not just a formal expression of international
solidarity, it is an obligation for everybody able to understand the
contradictions of the World we live in, and everybody willing to really
challenge imperialist dictatorship of the Capital.
Red salute
to our troops in India.
