Proletarians
of all countries, unite!
Long
live the 50th anniversary of the Great Proletarian Cultural
Revolution!
Long
live the Proletarian World Revolution! Long live Maoism!
Five decades
after Chairman Mao affirmed
that “imperialists and all reactionaries are paper tigers”
imperialism has descended further into its prolonged and deep crisis,
in a world evermore ridden from storms the conditions to advance the
revolution are increasingly favourable.
In the
current phase of imperialism, the brutal concentration and
centralization of capital reaches even more sharp levels. Today, 1%
of the world population have more riches than the rest of the world's
population all together. With the ever greater concentration of
capital in the last five years the wealth of the 62 richest people in
the world rose by 45% while the wealth of "the poorest half"
fell by more than 38%. This “poorest half” is in its absolute
majority situated in the oppressed countries, 33% in India alone.
This big bourgeoisie are increasingly concentrated in the hegemonic
superpower: five years ago, 41% of the owners of most of the world's
wealth lived in the USA … now 46% of them. Due to the increasing
centralization of capital, for the first time since 1999 the USA will
account for over 50% of the amounts transacted in monopoly-related
transactions worldwide.
At the
opposite pole, around the world there are at least 800 million people
living in extreme poverty. This poverty is expressed most acutely in
semi-feudal countries, 75% of the global masses living in extreme
poverty are poor peasants. About 750 millions have no access to clean
water and 25% have no access to electricity. Hundreds of millions of
people are being brutalized by imperialist wars, forced
displacements, epidemics, starvation, and brutal unemployment - even
in countries like Greece the youth unemployment is above 50%.
Imperialism,
mainly Yankee imperialism, develops its imperialist wars of plunder
and pillage against the dominated countries, mainly in the Middle
East: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, as the main part of the
booty of the current imperialist repartition, in which Yankee
imperialism strives to deepen and consolidate its condition as sole
hegemonic superpower while the Russian imperialism strives to
maintain their spheres of influence and its condition of being an
atomic superpower. As well as imperialist China
strives for a stronger repartition and so thereby, is getting
increasingly in contradiction with the Yankee imperialism, the sole
hegemonic power. Between imperialist countries of Europe the struggle
for hegemony (mainly between Germany and France) is not yet decided,
what brings their leading powers into distress towards the other
imperialists.
After more
than five years of imperialist aggression in Syria there are over 470
000 dead, nearly 2 million people injured. In five years the
country's average life expectancy has fallen from 70 years to 55.4.
These numbers add up to no less than 5,350 people who died trying to
migrate in 2015.
The
sharpening of our epochs main contradiction – the contradiction
between oppressed nations and imperialism – sharpens all the other
contradictions, such as the contradiction of inter-imperialist
rivalry and the contradiction between the proletariat and the
bourgeoisie in the imperialist countries.
The
transition of Russia into an active role in the war in Syria is a
part of its struggle to defend its interests in Syria and Ukraine. As
part of inter-imperialist dispute for dominance of the region, the
lackey governments of Turkey and Saudi Arabia are making all sorts of
provocations encouraging Yankee imperialism to devastate the region
even more, and to isolate and defeat Iran even more - as the episode
of the recent decapitation of Shiite leaders shows. The
inter-imperialist dispute cannot result in any benefit for the masses
but instead it will deepen the colonial and semi-colonial domination
as we are witnessing in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya.
Hence,
regarding the struggle of the Kurdish people against the domination
of the Turkish State and Middle Eastern countries, we reaffirm that
only the New Democratic Revolution, through the People's War lead
absolutely by Marxist-Leninist-Maoists Parties can achieve the
liberation of their people and ensure the national minorities their
unrenounceable right to self-determination – even their right to
complete separation.
Large waves of immigrants and refugees are coming to
the European imperialist countries, shaken by crisis, as result of
the imperialist war, in which these European imperialist countries
participate, and the misery and despair in which the oppressed
peoples of the Middle East, Asia and Africa are subjected. To this
you have to sum the massive unemployment on the continent, especially
among youth.These migratory waves are part of the imperialist plunder, because the imperialists need to incorporate every year hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers to keep their economy going in face of the “population deficit” in the imperialist countries themselves. Germany needs to incorporate annually 500,000 immigrants in its economy until the year 2060. But these same imperialists propagate the "immigrant threat" to boost imperialist chauvinism among the population, promoting fascism to separate the bulk of the proletariat from the migrant proletarians and create public opinion for the war against the peoples and wars of imperialist aggression.
The contradiction between the
proletariat and the bourgeoisie sharpens, in the form of the
contradiction between the masses and the imperialist governments and
states. Additionally the imperialist war is "brought back home".
With the attacks in Paris and Brussels, the European imperialist
bourgeoisies, starting with the French one, pay the cost for their
active participation in the war of plunder in Syria, the imperialist
interventions in Libya, Mali, etc.
While they extend imperialist war of domination
abroad, internally they wage war on the poorer masses of their
countries. Imperialism uses war as a mean to solve all sorts of
problems. In the name of the “war on terrorism”, they impose the
Emergency State, repression and militarization of the whole society,
reactionary campaigns of racism and xenophobia against immigrants'
neighbourhoods.
With the policy of "adjustments and new labor laws" they continue suppressing the long time conquered rights by the proletariat and increasing the exploitation of waged labor. Millions of workers, especially young people, took to the streets in powerful protests in France and other European countries.
The proletariat, the masses, led by communists, must organize the proletarian and mass resistance against the internal war and resolutely undertake the preparations to turn the imperialist wars into revolutionary wars.
To do so from the belly of the imperialist beast, communists are constructing new Maoist Communist Parties, making efforts to merge with the deepest masses of the proletariat, to win ideological hegemony in the revolutionary movement in order to, in front of all non-proletarian ideologies, mobilize, politicize and organize the most exploited sections of the working class and the poorest masses, to prepare and carry out through actions the beginning and development of the People’s War.
The countries oppressed by imperialism are the storm centres and base of the world revolution. In India, the Philippines, Turkey and Peru, the masses and the peasants, the main force of the New Democratic Revolution, rise up through Agrarian Revolution defend their lands, defeat the displacement plans from the countryside carried out by bureaucratic capitalism engendered by imperialism.
In India the
People's War developed by the CPI (Maoist) has survived the
encirclement and annihilation campaigns of the enemy, imposing
defeats on imperialism and all reaction, and it is a great example
for the masses of the whole world regarding the way forward. Hundreds
of millions of peasants joining the masses of Indian workers –
raised up in People's War under the direction of CPI (Maoist) – it
is a great strength for the world proletariat.
The old
Indian state, headed by the reactionary Modi clique, promotes the
massacre of Adivasi peasants, mass arrests in the countryside and in
the cities, and the persecution of revolutionary leaders and
democratic personalities as part of the war on the people in a
desperate attempt to stop the revolution. Thus the Indian
reactionaries are revealing the true character of the government and
the Indian state and its fake democracy.
By developing
the People's War and joining the national liberation struggles of the
New Democratic Revolution, the CPI (Maoist) is preventing the
division of the masses. They are defeating the new revisionism; they
are an example for the International Communist Movement.
As part of
the uneven development of the
revolutionary situation in the world,
the bankruptcy of the opportunist governments in Brazil, Argentina,
Ecuador, Venezuela, etc. is part of the crisis of electoral
revisionism and opens great possibilities for the revolutionary
proletarian movement.
In Brazil the
deep political and economic crisis of bureaucratic capitalism
shattered the official propaganda that sought to present Brazil as a
new "rising power" ("BRICS" as a new perspective
to the world, etc.). In the midst of the economic crisis traditional
and new political parties, representing different class fractions,
pitted an endless struggle to see who stays on top of the old
bureaucratic state machine. And although the bankruptcy of the
opportunist aroused an anti-communist new wave, the peasant
uprisings, united with the struggles in the cities, promise to shake
up the entire old order and raise the class struggle to new levels.
These facts
unmask the new revisionism of PCPMOVADEF/PCPMLM in Peru, of Prachanda
and Avakian that want to deny the validity of the analyses of Lenin
and Mao, separating the two great currents of the International
Communist Movement: the national liberation struggles of the
oppressed peoples and the proletarian revolution, whose unity is
guaranteed by the Communist Parties.
More than
ever the urgent task of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist movement is to
fight the current state of dispersion in the International Communist
Movement, struggling for a Unified International Conference of
Parties and Organizations that are Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. Pursuing
this task will serve to establish, through the line struggle, new
levels of coordination between Maoist forces around the world that
will trigger new Peoples War's and enhance the anti-imperialist
movement under the hegemony of the revolutionary proletariat.
Celebrate
50 years of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution!
Developed
and led by Chairman Mao Tsetung, the GCPR was the most advanced
stage, the highest level of the Proletarian World Revolution. It put
forward and solved the problem of how to lead the class struggle
under the conditions of the dictatorship of the proletariat, how to
continue the revolution under Socialism and move society to Communism
after the ascent and success of capitalist
restoration in USSR (1956) and for 10 years it prevented the
capitalist restoration in China.
The GCPR,
mobilizing hundreds of millions of masses in defence of the
dictatorship of the proletariat was the most shattering and
overwhelming blow to bourgeois ideology, politics and culture, arming
the international proletariat with Mao Tsetung Thought, which turned
into Maoism.
Fifty years
after the initiation of the GCPR the powerful east wind is continuing
blowing to sweep away imperialism from the earth. The glorious
People’s Wars of India, Peru, the Philippines and Turkey threaten
to set the entire prairie on fire. These People's Wars, despite a
thousand difficulties, are proving that the imperialist bandits are
the real terrorists, the popular masses are the real heroic builders
of a new world, that imperialism and all reactionaries are paper
tigers, and that the masses are almighty.
On this
Mayday, amidst a world evermore stormy and challenging, to celebrate
the GCPR is to continue swimming against the current, challenging
wind and tide in deep ideological and political struggles to uphold
Maoism in the struggle of the international proletariat to conquer
power. The Communists around the world must assume their role with
acts of war against imperialism so as to place Maoism in command and
as guide for the new great wave of world proletarian revolution and
sweeping imperialism off the face of the earth!
We celebrate
the beginning of the struggle to put Maoism as commander
and guide of the proletarian world revolution to sweep away
imperialism from face of the earth, a challenge
that requires to resolve the pending and delayed task of constitution
and reconstitution of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Communist Parties
throughout the world so as to trigger the People's War in as many
countries as possible.
Down with
imperialist war, long live the People's War!
For an
International Unified Maoist Conference and a new Maoist
International Centre!
Imperialism
and all reactionaries are paper tigers!
