‘‘on the occasion of the international day of the world
proletariat, the glorious May Day, with great sense of responsibility
and firm conviction to strengthen the vanguard of Indian proletariat,
which is a contingent of the world proletariat.’’
Another May Day Comes …
Another May Day Comes …
Another
May Day comes, in a world where the misery and deprivation suffered
by billions of people is immensely aggravated by the prolonging
crisis of the imperialist system. Millions have been thrown out of
jobs. Social security is cut down. Growing price rise further
depresses living standards. Medical treatment and higher education
become atrociously expensive. Meanwhile the perpetrators of this
merciless system workout even more vicious anti-people measures, all
the while obnoxiously flaunting their swelling wealth and boasting of
billionaire lists.
Another
May Day, where immigrant workers are forced to labour as slaves,
where the trafficking of women and children continue to increase in
staggering proportions, where women continue to suffer the brutality
of rape and murder no matter whether its ‘backward’ Afghanistan
or ‘advanced’ USA, where minorities are isolated and suppressed,
where the youth are hounded and persecuted, where the demand for
something as minimal as fair wages and living conditions is cut down
with bullets and imprisonment.
Another
May Day, in the midst of environmental devastations caused by the
blind pursuit of profit, in the midst of the rapidly widening chasm
of inequality within each society and between imperialist and
oppressed countries.
Oppression
and exploitation generates resistance. And this resistance grows.
This world is witness to the growing wave of class struggles and
popular rebellions in country after country. This is a world of
turmoil. A wide range of forces are being propelled into struggle
against the system. The grooming of the streets is no doubt
insufficient for a radical break, for the building of a new society.
But it opens up tremendous opportunities for connecting with a whole
new generation and winning them over to the revolutionary mission of
communism. It paves the way to revolution. This is principal. It must
be firmly grasped.
Just
a decade or so ago, the existence of the proletariat itself was
questioned. Class struggle was declared redundant and considered to
be replaced by movements of ‘multitudes’. Today the world is
marked by repeated occasions of militant workers struggles, not just
in countries like India or China, but even more so in the citadels of
imperialism. There is every reason for this. For all the tall talk of
the technical wonders of the 21st
century, whether in the killing fields of the garment industry in
Bangladesh, the slave labour camps of Qatar, the labour barracks in
China, or the sweat-shops of imperialist countries, the conditions in
which the vast majority of proletarians labour are as atrocious as
those of the 18th
century. Meanwhile, explicitly oppressive methods of control and ever
increasing workloads in the modern centres of wage slavery
increasingly suffocate the proletarians.
At
a different dimension, the ravages of globalisation have deeply
marked the oppressed countries. Privatisation and liberalisation have
wiped whole sectors of employment and small business. Working
conditions, already bad, have become unbearable. This was aggravated
by the global crisis. In inverse proportion to the worsening of
living conditions of the vast majority, corruption and profit taking
by the rulers have reached astronomic peaks. While the miseries of
the people multiply, the rulers obstinately pursue grandiose projects
eying the fat cuts they will get.
All
of this underlies the repeated outbursts of rebellion seen in the
world. Business cannot go on as usual. In a certain sense this is
true of the imperialists and their lackeys too. Their growing
contention amply indicates this.
Another
May Day comes, in a world crying out for revolution, for communism; a
day for the class conscious proletariat and their vanguard, the
Maoists, to take stock of the world transforming mission of the
proletariat and the great traditions of proletarian internationalism.
Today
there is no socialist country. Not even a government that can be
broadly qualified as progressive, pro people. There is much, much, to
be done. But there are also factors that give strength and confidence
in pursuing the world emancipatory mission of the proletariat
the clarity of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and the deepening of the
struggle against revisionism of all hues including those of the
Prachanda-Bhattarai clique and Avakianism, the wave of struggles seen
all over the world, the people’s wars in India and the Philippines
and its reorganisation or preparation in some other countries, the
strengthening of internationalist ties and activities among Maoist
parties and organisations.
Building
on these strengths, the Maoists must creatively develop forms of
organisation suitable for orienting the rebellious energy of the
streets towards revolution, with the building and strengthening of
Maoist parties at its center. They must take up the task of building
an international organisation of Maoist parties and organisations.
This must be the core of an organised international anti-imperialist
front of the proletarians and oppressed peoples. Thus the Maoists
will be able to establish and develop Marxism-Leninism-Maoism,
realise a new unity of the international communist movement, place it
at the van of worldwide people’s struggles and fully unleash and
realize the revolutionary potential of the present world.
Imperialism
has no future! The future belongs to 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!
