2nd Resolution passed by the Special Meeting of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organizations of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement for an International Conference of the MLM Parties and Organization of the world – May First 2012
The
devastations of imperialist globalisation, wars of aggression and the
devastating
economic
crisis
of
the imperialist system and
its
impact
on
proletarians
and
the
broad
masses
have
awakened
worldwide
a
wave
of
struggles
and
revolts.
In
this
context
a
potential
new
wave
of
the
world
proletarian
revolution
develops
and
emerges,
with
the
people's
wars
led
by
Maoist
parties
as
its
reference
points
and
strategic
anchor.
The
realisation
of
this
potential
ultimately
depends
on
how
successful
the
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
parties
are
in
fulfilling
their
revolutionary
tasks
at national and international level.
The
pooling
of
their
understanding
and
experience
and
the
development
of
their
capacity
to
take
a
united
revolutionary
message
to
the
rebellious
masses
all
over
the
world,
have
decisive
importance.
Unfortunately
there has been a lag in this matter. This is severely compounded by
the crisis in the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM),
which is now defunct.
In
this situation steps need to be taken
to
work for the building of an effective
international
MLM
organization
that
can
aid
the
fulfilment
of
revolutionary
tasks
and
take
the
collective
voice
of
the
Maoists
to
the
proletariat
and
struggling
peoples.
Therefore,
we
should
move
towards
holding
a
new
conference
of
the
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
parties
and
organizations
throughout
the
world.
This
conference
should take
up
the
task
of
building
an
international
organization
based
on
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
It
is
appropriate
that
this
task
should
be
informed
by
the
positive
and
negative
experiences
of
RIM,
given
its
experience
in
building
and
functioning
as
an
international
organisation
during
its
nearly
three
decades
of
existence.
As part of the work for the conference and the building
of an international
organization we need a
summation
worked out by all the
parties and organization which has been part of this experience. Here
we put forward some preliminary views.
- Following Mao Zedong’s death in 1976, the Chinese revisionists seized political power through a military coup d’état, thus causing the Communist Party of China (CPC) to degenerate into a revisionist party––overthrowing proletarian political power, bringing down socialism, and transforming revolutionary China into reactionary China. Moreover, the emergence of the Hoxhaite revisionist line in the Party of Labour of Albania, influenced a certain number of communist parties and organizations throughout the world, and ended up producing a serious assault on the international communist movement.
Despite
this
context
of
defeat,
some
Marxist-Leninist
parties
and
organizations,
that
did
not
follow
either
the
Chinese
or
Hoxhaite
variants
of
revisionism,
though
few
in
number,
held
the
first
international
conference
of
Marxist-Leninist
parties
and
organizations
in
1980
and
passed
a
Joint
Communiqué,
A
Call
to
the
Proletariat
and
the
Oppressed
Peoples
of
the
World.
Although
this
conference
did
not
result
in
the
creation
of
a
stable
international
organization
it
prepared
the
ground
for
a
second
international
conference
in
1984.
The
formation
of
the
Revolutionary
Internationalist
Movement
(RIM)
in
this
second
conference
of
1984
was
a
positive
international,
theoretical
and
practical
endeavour
that
responded
to
the
ideological,
political
and
organizational
needs
and
necessities
of
the
international
communist
movement
in
the
circumstances
of
a
period
defined
by
the
crisis
that
had
engulfed
the
communist
movement
following
the
defeat
of
the
Chinese
revolution.
The
Declaration
of
the
Revolutionary
Internationalist
Movement
that
was
passed
at
this
conference
-
on
the
basis
of
Marxism-Leninism-
Maoism
(Mao
Zedong
Thought
as
it
was
then
termed)
and
a
principled
opposition
to
the
modern
Russian
and
Chinese
revisionism
(as
well
as
the
Hoxhaite
dogmato-revisionism)
-
provided
a basic
ideological-political
framework
for
the
foundation of the movement
.
- In its past three decades of struggles the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, since it was based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, achieved important theoretical and practical gains that were principled and worthy of further development. The documents passed in the international conferences and the expanded meetings of RIM (like the Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and the Millennium Resolution), despite some of their deficiencies and shortcomings, were all important theoretical contributions to the advancement of the Movement, as part of the international communist movement. The internationalist support to the people’s war in Peru and PCP, including the historical campaign in defence of Dr: Abimael Guzman, the contribution and support for the start and continuation of the people’s war in Nepal for its ten years, the publishing of the journal A World To Win in several languages that allowed to make known ideological and political understandings and analysis of the Movement and its parties and organizations in different countries, and statements issued have been notable features of the role played by the RIM in the international communist movement.
- The founding conference of the RIM had recognised the necessity of building a new communist international of a new type. To realize this, the Declaration of the RIM correctly identified the twin tasks of evolving ‘a general line and a correct and viable organisational form, conforming to the complex reality of the present-day world and the challenges it poses.’
- The interim committee – conceived as an embryonic political center - was formed with the task of working for the process of furthering the ideological, political and organisational unity of communists, including the preparation of a draft proposal for a general line for the communist movement. But this task was not fulfilled by the Corim and the RIM could not reach this goal.
- In the experience of RIM, the existence of such a center, formed for enabling a consistent and unified role for this Movement has given mixed results. There were some good results. There have also been serious lapses, hegemonic tendencies in functioning that negated the collectiveness that was the RIM, sorely undermined its unity, hindered the incorporation of more MLM parties and thus blocked the fulfilment of the tasks it had set for itself.
The
new
international
organization
should
have
an
executive
centre,
whose
internal
life
and
methods
correspond
to
the
stage
and
methods
shared
by
the
political
parties
and
forces
that
give
life
to
this
organization.
It
should function
with
the
competency
and
commitment
to
work
within
the
framework
of
the
decisions
and
agreements
of
the
international
organization
as
decided
in
its
conferences
and
other
meetings.
As
in
all
other
matters,
here
too,
the
consistent
defence,
application
and
development
of
MLM
and
the
fulfilment
of
their
own
internationalist
tasks
and
obligations
by
the
individual
parties
are
the
ultimate
guarantee.
In
spite of its positive aspects, our Movement could not fulfil the
tasks it had taken up and entered a crisis. When revisionism of Bob
Avakian’s
post-MLM
'new
synthesis'
variety became
dominant
in
the
Revolutionary
Communist
Party-USA
and
of the
Prachanda-Bhattarai
variety
became
dominant
in
the
United
Communist
Party
of
Nepal
(Maoist),
not
only
did
these
parties
deviate
from
the
path
of
revolution
and
communism,
but
the
destructive
and
disparaging
effects
of
their
counter-revolutionary
lines
negatively
affected
the
parties
and
organizations
within
RIM,
specifically
the
Committee
of
RIM
(CoRIM),
in
an
extensive
and
profound
manner.
These
are
the
immediate
ideological
sources
that
have
led
to
the
current
crisis
and
collapse
of
the
RIM.
We
propose the convening of an
international
conference
in order
reactivate
and
reorganize
an
international
organization.
We believe that this task
must be jointly taken up with the involvement of the Maoist parties
leading people’s wars, and all the Maoist forces, including those
outside the RIM, so that the conference will benefit from their views
and experiences. In order
to
achieve
this
aim
a
process
of
ideological,
political
debate
must
be
carried
out.
As part of preparation for
the conference and serving its aims, we will it necessary to organise
a seminar on ‘Summation
of Experiences of RIM, ICML, and other International Initiatives.’
Through
this
whole process
the
points
of
unity
and
differences
can
be
identified
and
a
relatively
advanced
platform
can
be
arrived
at,
to
become
the
basis
of
a
new
international
unity
concretised
in
a
new
international
organisation.
In
the
current
circumstances,
the
execution
of
this
revolutionary
responsibility
can
demonstrate
a
practical
expression
of
the
internationalist
communist
slogan,
“workers
and
oppressed
peoples
of
the
world
unite.”
It
is
this
that
will
allow
the
MLM
communist
parties
to
establish
and
develop
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism,
realize
a
new
unity
of
the
international
communist
movement,
place
it
at
the
van
of
worldwide
people’s
struggles
and
fully
unleash
and
realize
the
potential
new
wave
of
world
revolution.
With
revolutionary
greetings,

Party of India (M-L) [Naxalbari]
