The popular masses want to overthrow the capitalist, imperialist governments and the governments who are
their servants!
Proletarians want to unite for the Party of the revolution!
Communists support anti-imperialist
struggles and develop People’s Wars for the world
proletarian revolution!
Imperialism is the "highest
stage of capitalism” —a stage of “parasitism and decay”
(Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism). Now
is the time to bury it, as soon as possible. The crisis of capitalism is like a chronic disease that torments it. It creates the grounds for
its death.
The crisis of capitalism is above all a crisis of overproduction: “In these crises, there breaks out
an epidemic that, in all earlier epochs, would have seemed an absurdity —the
epidemic of over-production. Society suddenly finds itself put back into a
state of momentary barbarism.” (Marx and
Engels, The Communist Manifesto)
But it is the time when the bourgeoisie
intensify its efforts to make the proletarians and masses pay for the crisis. As Marx and
Engels have written more than
150 years ago in the Communist Manifesto:
“The weapons with which the bourgeoisie felled feudalism to the ground are now
turned against the bourgeoisie itself. But
not only has the bourgeoisie forged the weapons that bring death to itself; it
has also called into existence the men who are to wield those weapons — the
modern working class —the proletarians.”
Today, the world proletarians
have never been so numerous, along with
the people’s masses they represent at
least 90% of the population; and these 90% are those who are affected by the crisis and
need a radical change in the society.
“The proletarian
movement is the self-conscious, independent movement of the immense majority,
in the interest of the immense majority.” (Ibid.)
The financial crisis of global capitalism
deepens and widens. The imperialists argue among themselves to plunder all
types of resources (human and material) in the backward countries, in addition
to increasing the exploitation of workers and the middle class in their own
countries in order to overcome this crisis.
In Europe and
the capitalist
countries, this results in a restructuring of the production, trade
and services, which leads to the
displacement of production in
countries where the cost of labour
is lower, a massive destruction of jobs and the introduction of
new and more productive means of production at the expense of the safety and health of workers. At the same time, taxes are increasing, wages are falling and benefits are reduced. In general, the intensification of
the crisis implies that “small
tradespeople, shopkeepers, and retired tradesmen… —all these sink gradually
into the proletariat” (ibid.).
In countries oppressed by imperialism, the
proletariat and people of Africa, Asia and Latin America
are subject to the dictates of the imperialist powers, who are protected by
their local watchdogs; those powers discard their watchdogs when they no longer
defend or badly defend their interests. The imperialist powers use the policy
of “divide and rule” and do not hesitate to militarily intervene - both to
support regimes of their servants or to topple those not favourable to them -
and to provoke ethnic and religious conflicts to protect their interests and
break people’s resistance to oppression. They rely on religious obscurantism or secular liberalism to maintain by any menas their economic, political and ideological domination.
The ruling classes of these countries,
be they rising 3rd world powers - China, India, Brazil
or South Africa – or oppressed countries, are doing everything possible to
ensure maximum exploitation of
the labour force and access and control
on raw materials in the interests of the imperialist system.
In the imperialist and oppressed countries, the ruling classes use as watchdogs the reactionary
right forces as well as the reformist, social democratic and revisionist forces that
apply their policy of exploitation and oppression of proletarians and masses.
Official trade unions are working with the various governments
to negotiate “austerity measures” and privatisation schemes so that the workers
reconcile with them and to stop the struggles that clash against the bosses and
the state. The reconciling always allows capitalists
to strengthen and continue their destructive
work undermining the gains won by the working class
through a hundred years of
struggle.
In imperialist countries, the more openly
reactionary right and also the reformist and social democrat “left” uphold
through different forms the “national identity”, to use it against the
immigrants in order to strengthen the division of the proletariat and the
masses and thus opening the way to old and new fascism. Many populist, fascist and neo-Nazi parties and organizations are thriving on the fertile land cultivated
by all the traditional political forces and institutions. The bourgeoisie defends its system and
institutions with the state police
and also by using the mass participation
in elections. This is why the proletariat and the masses must develop the electoral
boycott and intensify the class
struggle.
“IT IS RIGHT TO REBEL” (MAO ZEDONG)
Faced with the crisis, the proletarians —the
workers from the cities and the
countryside— are rebelling. Workers from
factories threatened with closure are
mobilizing against layoffs, the degradation of working conditions, wage cuts and increased working time, because they don’t
want to pay for the crisis. Peasants and agricultural workers resist and sometime are occupy
land. The masses are mobilizing against housing
evictions, tax increases, attacks on their environment, the dismantling of
public services, attacks on union freedoms and the rights of youth, women, etc.
These struggles are taking place in all the
countries in the world, like those of the auto and metallurgy workers in France, Belgium,
Germany and Italy, of the miners In Spain, while masses are
fighting against housing evictions, and the great students' struggle in Canada, and in
other countries also, against attacks on education and tax increases.
And, moreover, like those in India where hundreds of millions of workers went on strike, or South Africa, where miners rebelled against
the black and white ruling classes who exploit and oppress the workers, or Brazil, where poor peasants and landless
are occupying the land they work.
In the Arab countries, particularly in Tunisia
and Egypt, despite the manoeuvres of imperialists to protect their interests
and support the new watchdogs, despite the fact that these watchdogs are hiding themselves
under the mask of religion in
order to exploit workers and people, to suppress the just rebellion before it
becomes revolution, the masses are finding their way and
learning from their mistakes, for a genuine New Democratic
revolution, that cannot be achieved without the leadership of the working
class; this raises the questions of the revolutionary strategy, of armed struggle, and
the building of a vanguard party
Imperialists and their interventions are not
able to stop and extinguish the anti-imperialist struggles in the world, from Palestine, to Iraq,
Afghanistan, Latin America,
nor against the new imperialist interventions in Libya,
Syria, Mali.
YOU CANNOT MAKE REVOLUTION IN A PEACEFUL WAY!
The world is in turmoil; the ideological understanding operates bit by bit or with leaps,
with advances and setbacks, in the ranks of the proletariat and the masses and on the
consciousness of the crisis and the nature of imperialism, the need to
overthrow it and build a new society on the ashes of the
old one.
In this new wave of struggle and resistance we
must support and strengthen the struggle for the liberation of peoples and for
new democracy, towards socialism and
communism. This is the context in which a potential new wave of the world
proletarian revolution develops and emerges. It has as its reference points and
strategic anchor the people's wars led by Maoist parties.
People’s War is the most advanced way to make
revolution, so we must support in every country in which it is being organized,
prepared by accumulating forces, and applied to the concrete conditions of each
country. Led by the CPI (Maoist), the People’s War in India is successfully resisting
attacks from the enemy and is managing to expand and grow. The People’s War is
also unfolding in the Philippines
under the leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines, which upholds Maoism.
In Peru,
it is continuing despite the action from a liquidationist current. In Turkey,
the revolutionary struggle led by the Maoists is advancing in accordance with
the people’s war strategy. In other countries, new initiatives and advances are
in preparation.
We must build and consolidate
the proletarian parties for the
revolution, parties of new type, Marxist-Leninist- Maoist communist parties, in our respective countries, taking into account our past experience and applying it to the current conditions of the imperialist system
of today.
This was clearly expressed the 24th November
2012 in Hamburg by the great International
Conference in Support of the People’s War in India, in which hundreds of
representatives of revolutionary and anti-imperialist organizations and Maoist
parties and organizations from more than twenty countries have called to unite
and strengthen the class struggle in each country. It was a great example of
internationalism. We must advance to further strengthen and give organisational
form to proletarian internationalism.We must pursue the international unity of the communists in the world towards the construction of a new international
organization to fight together against
imperialism and reaction and march together towards a new Communist International, for socialism and communism. .
Proletarians and oppressed people of all countries, unite!
Down with imperialism and all its
watchdogs!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
Long live world proletarian revolution!
