The spread of the pandemic in the world is
expressed in a simple way by the stats of
contagion and deaths, which recently have
further worsened:
United States: 2,440,000 - Brazil: 1,157,000 - Russia: 606,000 -
India: 472,000 - Great Britain: 308,000 - Peru: 260,000 ...
It is not just
a macabre counting,
but also the evidence that where dictatorial, fascist-populist
governments are in power - which always, with various nuances,
declared that the pandemic was just a
"flue", the seriousness of which was "exaggerated",
it was "fault of China"and that the lock-down was a worse
remedy than evil - serving
the profits of the multinationals, serving
the economy of brutal capitalism, of the
bourgeoisies subservient to imperialism, there the contagion has come
and it is devastating. And it merges with poverty.
In these countries there is not lock-down but the
war on peoples to defend the power of Trump, Bolsonaro, Modi, the
fascist and corrupt regime in Peru.
These countries are not only the epicenters of the
pandemic, they are and can become more and more the epicenters of the
rebellion and revolutionary struggle of proletarians and peoples.
US are there to prove it. The wind of Minneapolis
has reached
the whole country and
the anti-racist movement does not stop but extends. But, be careful,
it is not a generic anti-racist movement. There are African Americans
and other nationality proletarians who rebel against the systemic
police brutality on which US imperialism stands, regardless of
governments, and with Trump it got to the maximum. There is the
anti-racist youth, the Black Lives Matter
movement, but there is also an electoral campaign, the anti-trumpism
that pours out in support of Biden as a more presentable face of US
imperialism, in front of the Trump consensus crisis.
In this dynamic, we see, work and support another
scenario, that of the proletarian and mass revolutionary movement
that moves with a dynamic of a potential civil war, given that in any
case Trump and the fascist-populists
will not leave the field without exercising the maximum of
their strength and
violence.
All Trump's statements about anti-fa,
anti-insurgency, are at the heart of the problem with which we
have to deal.
In Brazil, only a movement of the proletarians and
the peasant masses that wage a war against Bolsonaro and the
State in the cities,
favelas, in the countryside, in the Amazon is the alternative.
Certainly, it is not a help for the development of
such
a movement the
stand of those who, even in our field,
continue saying that the pandemic is a "pretext", instead
of a product of imperialism, the reactionary regimes serving it and
of the fascism-populism,
which is their feature in
the current phase.
In India, the people’s war and the struggle of
the Maoists develops against the regime of Modi, even if they reach
only a non-majority part of India and does
not influence yet with necessary strength the development of the
gigantic workers' movement that has seen strikes of 200 million
workers.
But the CPI (Maoist) correctly treats the
relationship between the pandemic and the crisis and is therefore the
real hope of an alternative. This is why many intellectuals and
artists in
India who oppose the
nationalist-fascist Hindutva regime, from Arundathi Roy to those in
prisons, look at it.
What about Peru. The people’s war led by the PCP
(Sendero lumionoso) was smashed with massacres in the countryside as
well as in prisons and cities. Chairman Gonzalo is isolated in jail
and his life, also for Covid, is at risk. And the Peru of imperialism
and the corrupt regimes that followed one another is the country in
which there is perhaps the highest rate of infection in the world.
This shows who are the monsters in that country,
and we all wish for the reorganization of the PCP and a
new development of the people's war across the country.
Pandemic and crisis show the true nature of the current polarization
in the world, between imperialism and proletarians and oppressed
peoples, between reaction and revolution.
For everyone, and particularly for
the genuine revolutionary communists, it is
urgent time not only to choose which side to stay on but also how to
stay, with whom, what to do, and for us it is most of all under the
banner of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, for a new wave of the world
proletarian revolution.
