against G20 - Brazil - Na “Capital do G20”, a educação toma as ruas


DSCN4880

No dia 19/11, ocorreu o ato dos profissionais da educação, convocado pelo o Sindicato dos Profissionais da Educação do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SEPE-RJ) em meio ao criminoso G20. A manifestação contou com centenas de trabalhadores, estudantes e professores. Mesmo com ostensiva repressão, a manifestação caminhou de laranjeiras até o CIEP, localizado na Glória.  O ato é expressão de uma das respostas dos trabalhadores da educação contra a atual investida da precarização da educação, promovida em menos de 2 meses, pelo governo reacionário e recém reeleito de Eduardo Paes.  

No dia 12/11, o SEPE-RJ, aprovou em uma assembleia geral, com mais de 2000 professores, uma greve, para iniciar no dia 25/11. A greve é uma contundente resposta dos professores ao Projeto de Lei Complementar (PLC) 186/2024, que irá aumentar o tempo de hora aula de 50 minutos para 1 hora, obrigando os professores a darem mais aulas sem receber, tendo que “compensar” para ganhar o mesmo salário. Além disso, segundo o próprio sindicato a PL “acaba com a licença especial de todos os servidores; coloca em risco o formato atual das férias da educação, entre outros.”.

Durante o ato, a Polícia Militar (PM) em conjunto com a Guarda Municipal, com aparato repressivo desmedidamente ostensivo seguiu e reprimiu os manifestantes do início até o fim. Estavam presentes, no mínimo 10 viaturas da PM no local. No início do ato, impediram que o carro de som saísse pelas ruas. Mais tarde, tentaram impedir que o próprio ato saísse, e frustrados com insistência da manifestação, os policiais cercaram o protesto além de rasgarem a faixa da nossa organização com os dizeres “G20 Mata, Palestina Resiste! Rebelar-se é Justo”. Mesmo com tal desmobilização da PM, o ato seguiu entoando palavras de ordem como: “Que contradição, tem dinheiro pro G20 mas não têm pra Educação!”.

É importante notar que do dia 14/11 até o dia 21/11 o estado do Rio de Janeiro está sob a Garantia de Lei e da Ordem (GLO), uma lei que sobreviveu a ditadura militar e dá temporariamente o controle militar de uma área ao exército. Sobre isso é curioso notar como o Rio de Janeiro reforça militarmente boa parte da cidade, fecha 5 estações de metrô, muda o funcionamento da cidade por alguns dias, gastando mais de 140 milhões, apenas para garantir o encontro e a segurança dos representantes do imperialismo. Enquanto que, para o povo que vive na cidade, não se faz um mínimo esforço para melhorar suas vidas, pelo contrário, cada vez mais aumenta a repressão contra as favelas do RJ, a educação é cada vez mais precarizada, o desemprego aumenta e os serviços públicos, como sistema de saúde, cada vez mais sucateados. Ironicamente, a mesma cidade que abastece a PM com fuzis de empresa Israelense, é aquela que sedia o evento mundial do G20, do qual uma das discussões é a resolução “pacífica” do Genocídio Palestino.


US-Marcos regime prioritizes military task force “Ayungin” amid successive typhoons devastating local communities





November 21, 2024

The National Democratic Front of the Philippines International Office (NDFP IO) condemns the US government’s creation of their so-called “Ayungin Task Force”, aiming to enhance military interoperability between US and Philippine forces in the South China Sea, at a time when thousands of Filipinos are suffering from the devastating impacts of consecutive typhoons.

While the US government justifies this move as part of ongoing military cooperation under the Mutual Defense Board-Security Engagement Board (MDB-SEB) and the Bantay Dagat framework, it is clear that the real priority of the US is to further its imperialist interests in the region, rather than addressing the urgent humanitarian crisis that has unfolded in many parts of Luzon in the past few months. Putting US forces in Ayungin intensifies tensions between China and the Philippines with the latter obviously being used as a US pawn to provoke Chinese armed response. The creation of a military task force focused on military operations in the Ayungin shoal serves the US imperialist agenda and puts the Filipino masses at risk of destruction greater than that wrought by any supertyphoon.


The NDFP IO stands in solidarity with the Filipino people who continue to bear the brunt of successive disasters exacerbated by climate change and the inept response of the Marcos Jr. government. While thousands of Filipinos are left to suffer in the aftermath of six typhoons that hit the country in a month, the US government prioritizes military buildup in the South China Sea, showing a shocking disregard for the urgent humanitarian needs of the Filipino people.

Thousands of Filipinos are still reeling from the devastation, with entire communities displaced, lives lost, and essential infrastructure destroyed. Despite the dire needs of affected communities, the US-Marcos regime continues to invest in military escalation instead of urgently directing resources toward humanitarian aid and disaster response. More troubling is how the US, in collusion with the Marcos Jr. administration, has been using “disaster response” as a pretext to justify continued combat operations in Albay and many other places across the country.

The NDFP IO calls on the Filipino people to reject this dangerous focus on military cooperation with the US and instead demand immediate compensation and aid for the victims of typhoons and flooding. The Filipino people deserve to have their needs prioritized – shelter, food, healthcare, and genuine support for their recovery – not to be further subjected to geopolitical maneuvers in the midst of devastation and calamity.

CPI (Maoist) Let us raise our voices against the establishment of the Indian Army Maneuvering range in Maad! - ICSPWI info

 COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST)
Central Committee
Press Release

 
Let us steadfastly stand with the Maad people who are firmly opposing the decision to handover their lands and forest to the Indian Army!
Let us oppose the involvement of the Indian Army in the ongoing genocidal war in the name of Operation Kagaar


Dear Friends and Comrades,


For the last 10 months, the tribal regions of Central and Eastern India have been witnessing an unprecedented genocidal attacks in the name of Operation Kagaar and Operation Clean. The Indian state is with war, not with some external forces but with its own people since more than two decades. At present, according to the ruling classes, this
war has reached its "final and decisive stage". The Maad region has been home to the Madia tribe long before therewas a country called India. According to the Indian constitution, Madia tribe comes under the PVTG (ParticularVulnerable Tribal Group) category. In this vast swathe, surrounded with hills, dense forest, and perennial rivers, people are living here in dispersed village settlements with small human population. This people are living in complete harmony with nature and practicing slash and burning cultivation method since generations. The Indian state is veryeager to take over this vast region under its control to establish army maneuvering range since last more than a decade. 

With the objective of eliminating the CPI (Maoist) Party by March 2026, the central government under the
leadership of Hindutva BJP has taken very disastrous decision to establish immediately the army maneuvering range in the Maad region. For this purpose, it has asked the people to vacate their villages and forest for the army's services.
The CPI (Maoist) condemns in strong words the nefarious and fascist design of the BJP government to establishment army maneuvering range in the Maad region and appeals the pro- people and democratic forces to oppose this decision of the government.
The central government has decided to establish a maneuvering range of the Indian army in the Maad region of Narayanpur district of Chattisgarh. For this, a survey of 54, 543 hectares of land between Sonpur and Garpa villages in Maad is going on railroads. In the same manner, the revenue department officials are doing survey of the people's property, who are strongly opposing it. Right from 2011, efforts for setting up army training camp in the revolutionary movement area are continuing. But it could not materialize till now due to the massive people's militant movement against such design.

 It is important to note that the Indian State in its war on people has been using the Indian army
against the revolutionary movement and the Maoist Party in several disguised forms, since more than two decades.
Apart from the Indian army, the usage of Indian Air force (IAF) and its services are being widely used by the Indian State for its war on people. The special forces like Garud, belonging to IAF and NSG (National Security Guards) are being deployed to fight against the PLGA and the revolutionary people. The revolutionary movement areas today resemble as one of the highest militarized place on the planet. More than 6 lakh of para-military personnel are on grounds waging an unjust war. Particularly in Bastar region the ratio of armed personnel to people is 9 to 1.
The ongoing military operations are creating white terror in the minds and hearts of the revolutionary people.It will be not wrong to say that "democracy" in India is practised by the ruling classes at gun-point. Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) manufactured in US and Israel are also being used on a vast scale. They are not only used for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes but also for aerial bombings on tribal hamlets and revolutionary guerilla camps in central and eastern regions of India. There are also the involvement of DRDO (Defence Research and DevelopmentOrganization) and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) in the fight against the revolutionary movement under the leadership of CPI(Maoist).

secour rouge

Gino a été arrêté cette semaine en France, à Paris, en vertu d’un mandat d’arrêt européen. Son extradition est réclamée par les autorités hongroises, qui l’accusent d’être impliqué dans les éventements survenus à Budapest en février 2023, lors d’une mobilisation antifasciste qui s’opposait à la dite « Journée de l’honneur », célébrée par des néonazis. Il est actuellement détenu à la prison de Fresnes, en attente de la décision d’un juge français sur son extradition.

India: CASR STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE BANNING OF MOOLWASI BACHAO MANCH!

 

India: CASR STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE BANNING OF MOOLWASI BACHAO MANCH!


On 30th October 2024, the Home Ministry of Chhattisgarh has issued a circular which states that Moolwasi Bachao Manch is an unlawful, anti-development organisation and has been banned under the draconian Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act (CSPSA), without citing any concrete reasons for the same.

Moolwasi Bachao Manch is a democratic mass organisation of adivasi peasants in Bastar fighting against corporate loot and militarision, in particular, they have been fighting against the establishment of camps and been at the forefront of the anti-camp movement. These military camps only benefit the state and not the adivasis-peasants as they clear the way for capitalists to plunder the country’s resources. For this reason, the state has been continuously harrassing and suppressing the organisation which raises the democratic voices of the people. The organisation has been exercising its fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression and fighting against the state’s activities which harm the lifestyle, livelihood and culture of the adivasis. Over the  past 6 months, numerous activists of the organisation have been kidnapped  under the pretence of detention. Further, many activists associated with the organisation, including Sarju Tekam and Suneeta Pottam, have been arrested under the false charge of being members of CPI Maoist. Numerous activists have also been tortured in the state’s illegal custody.

This is part of the State’s attempt to completely dissolve Moolwasi Bachao Manch, and to clamp down on the democratic right to dissent of the Adivasis. The banning of the organisation is part of the state’s intensified campaign against Moolwasi Bachao Manch. By banning the organisation, the state will find it easier to clamp down on the activists working for the rights and voice of the exploited and oppressed groups like adivasis with even further impunity. By banning the organisation, the state is able to exercise extra-ordinary powers of the draconian security law.

The state has also been tagging all of these activists as Maoists, in an attempt to criminalize voices that speak truth to power. The State’s intimidatory tactics and attempt to clamp down on dissent are against the constitutional rights that each citizen has in this country. The state is attacking those activists who utilize the rights that exist to ensure the protection of Adivasis. These are the individuals who talk about the encounter killing of Adivasis and the state violence on Adivasis and by attacking the voices by talking about the repression, they plan on ensuring the silence of the Adivasis.
CASR urge all democratic minded people and organisation to come together and condemn this  fascist attack on Adivasi Rights organisation.

against G20 in Brazil - antimperialist and pro/palestine demostrations




 


Forward along the line of the joint declaration in support of the Palestinian Resistance - for Brazil

 

Intensificar as ações e levantar o movimento de massas em apoio à luta palestina avançar de forma cada vez mais poderosa!

Declaração conjunta – tradução em revisão

Intensificar as ações e levantar o movimento de massas em apoio à luta palestina avançar de forma cada vez mais poderosa!

Mais de 11 meses se passaram desde o início da ofensiva criminosa do estado terrorista de Israel contra o povo palestino. Mais de 40.000 palestinos foram assassinados, incluindo mulheres e crianças, e mais de 100.000 ficaram feridos.

Os sionistas forçaram mais de um milhão de palestinos a se moverem em direção ao sul de Gaza durante seus bombardeios, massacres e invasões. Sem dúvida, os genocidas sionistas estão realizando uma operação para ocupar o sul da Faixa de Gaza. Os sionistas querem aniquilar o povo palestino, tomar seu território e recursos, tentando empurrar os palestinos para o deserto do Sinai, no Egito, um antigo plano de deslocamento forçado que deixa o caminho livre para a ocupação final de todo o território da Palestina.

Rafah, ao sul de Gaza, tornou-se um refúgio para os palestinos, concentrando quase um milhão e meio de pessoas em uma pequena área, onde vivem sob bombardeios enquanto as forças israelenses impedem a chegada de ajuda humanitária.

Isso agrava a crise humanitária, pois a população palestina em Rafah está sofrendo de doenças infecciosas causadas pela falta de água potável, falta de instalações de higiene, insegurança alimentar, falta de hospitais e abrigos em boas condições como resultados da ofensiva contínua dos sionistas. Muitas crianças morrem não apenas sob as bombas, mas por falta de cuidados e alimentos. De acordo com relatórios de uma agência de saúde da ONU, aproximadamente 80% das crianças palestinas com menos de 5 anos não conseguem comer todos os dias.

Isso se combina com a tentativa dos sionistas de também atacar moralmente o povo palestino com atos violentos além do massacre de civis. A destruição premeditada de templos, casas, escolas, universidades, hospitais, combinada com a privação de água e energia, atinge ferozmente a vida dos palestinos, destrói esperanças, expõe-nos a uma morte lenta.

Os cercos a hospitais violam as regras fundamentais da guerra, causando efeitos severos ao destruir a infraestrutura para cuidar dos doentes e feridos, assassinando pessoal médico e sitiando áreas próximas. O povo palestino tem que sofrer com soldados das forças sionistas que zombam e desprezam sua tristeza, dançam sobre as ruínas de suas casas e gravam cenas desprezíveis para glorificar suas ações, somadas a comerciais de TV grotescos. Seus vídeos nas redes sociais estão cheios de discursos antipalestinos, combinados com declarações racistas dos governantes israelenses e educação violenta de crianças, ensinando-as a odiar os palestinos desde a infância.

O genocídio contra o povo palestino não é apenas obra do sionismo israelense. Os estados imperialistas que fornecem apoio são responsáveis, especialmente os Estados Unidos, a Grã-Bretanha com outros governos imperialistas europeus, Alemanha, França, Itália, etc. como cúmplices.

Os imperialistas dos EUA apoiam incondicionalmente seu cão de guarda no Oriente Médio. Eles usam seu poder de veto no Conselho de Segurança da ONU para bloquear qualquer medida de iniciativa de paz, enviam armas e dinheiro aos sionistas para fortalecer seu poder militar e, recentemente, com um movimento que muitos consideram histórico, o Congresso dos EUA aprovou um projeto de lei para sancionar o Tribunal Penal Internacional por ter ordenado a prisão de líderes políticos sionistas.

Diante de tudo isso, o povo palestino e as organizações de sua Resistência fornecem uma resistência heróica nas condições dadas, continuando a desferir golpes nas tropas de ocupação e invasão genocida. Expressamos nosso máximo apoio a esta Resistência.

O genocídio contra o povo palestino desencadeou uma solidariedade internacional que nunca parou desde outubro. Os proletários e os povos do mundo mantiveram a causa da libertação da Palestina em alta, condenando a feroz ofensiva sionista.

Resistindo à repressão dos estados reacionários, as massas realizaram reuniões e grandes manifestações, exigindo o fim da agressão, desenvolvendo um boicote às empresas israelenses e àquelas que apoiam os sionistas, exigindo o rompimento de relações e tratados com Israel; até o extraordinário desenvolvimento nos últimos meses do movimento estudantil que incendiou as universidades, as ruas, dos EUA à Europa e em todo o mundo, relembrando o movimento de solidariedade à causa do povo vietnamita dos anos 60 e 70.

Sob pressão das massas, alguns governos romperam suas relações com Israel e alguns organismos internacionais foram forçados a tomar medidas legais. O Tribunal Internacional de Justiça aceitou o pedido apresentado pela África do Sul e apoiado por outros estados, ordenando aos sionistas que cessassem imediatamente as operações militares contra a Faixa de Gaza. O Tribunal Penal Internacional emitiu ordens de prisão contra o Ministro Netanyahu e seu Ministro da Defesa, Gallant. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, eles ordenaram a detenção de líderes do Hamas. Este último mostra o caráter burguês do TPI ao equiparar a violência dos opressores e a dos oprimidos.

Diante desta situação, é agora mais necessário do que nunca intensificar as ações e fazer o movimento militante de massas em apoio à causa palestina avançar de forma cada vez mais poderosa. A pressão popular deve elevar-se a greves de solidariedade, a ações cada vez mais duras contra governos que apoiam Israel e Embaixadas Israelenses em todos os cantos do mundo.

Os partidos e organizações comunistas marxistas-leninistas-maoístas devem desempenhar um papel cada vez mais na linha de frente deste movimento, em torno de demandas de massa compartilhadas:
exigir que as tropas israelenses abandonem a Faixa de Gaza e a Cisjordânia;
exigir que as tropas imperialistas abandonem a região e cessem suas ações militares no Oriente Médio em apoio ao estado de Israel e contra as forças solidárias ao povo palestino, no Mar Vermelho, no Líbano, etc.;
exigir o rompimento das relações diplomáticas, comerciais e militares com Israel;
exigir que os governantes sionistas sejam julgados por crimes de guerra e genocídio.

Ao mesmo tempo, nas manifestações de solidariedade ao povo da Palestina e condenando o genocídio sionista, pedimos que também haja uma denúncia da ação realizada na Índia pelo estado fascista Hindutva de Modi, grande apoiador do governo de Netanyahu, apoiado pelo imperialismo dos EUA, contra os povos indígenas e tribais daquele país. Uma campanha genocida, chamada ‘Operação Kagaar’, no meio da qual massacres e deportações forçadas são perpetrados, civis e líderes de povos tribais, ativistas sociais e líderes revolucionários são assassinados; assim como jornalistas e defensores dos direitos humanos que se opõem são perseguidos. Uma operação que visa sufocar a luta de libertação das massas indianas, a guerra popular anti-imperialista das massas.

Os trabalhadores e os povos do mundo devem apoiar a resistência e a guerra de libertação nacional do povo palestino, dentro da luta pela libertação definitiva dos povos da exploração e opressão capitalista e imperialista, o que será possível com o triunfo das revoluções em todos os países e o avanço da revolução proletária mundial, para desenraizar toda forma de opressão e exploração da face da terra.

Proletários e povos do mundo, unamo-nos contra o imperialismo!

Viva a luta de libertação do povo palestino!

Liberte a Palestina!

Sobre las últimas elecciones reaccionarias en los EEUU for debate

 nuevo peru

Sobre las últimas elecciones reaccionarias en los EEUU)

Los resultados y las primeras declaraciones del archireaccionario Donald Trump, candidato por la mafia del Partido Republicano contra la candidata Harris de la mafia del Partido Demócrata, fueron anunciados por casi todos los medios siguiendo un patrón similar:

Donald Trump es el ganador de las elecciones en Estados Unidos. Será presidente de los Estados por segunda vez. Se ha confirmado su victoria. Obtiene 312 delegados (la mayoría está en 270) frente a los 226 de Kamala Harris, con una victoria contundente. Trump ha celebrado su victoria con una fiesta en West Palm Beach, en Florida, en la que ha comparecido tres horas antes del resultado definitivo. Allí, ha proclamado: “Vamos a arreglar todo lo que está mal en este país”. “Es hora de dejar atrás las divisiones de los últimos cuatro años”. (06 NOV 2024).

Hablando de lo más general y común sobre las consecuencias políticas para los gobiernos reaccionarios de las crisis capitalistas cíclicas, la mayoría de los medios coinciden, en que “Trump se ha beneficiado de la frustración de los ciudadanos tras las fuertes subidas de precios de los últimos cuatro años y el aumento de la inmigración irregular “.

La parte referente a crisis económica-caída y recambio de gobierno, lo subrayamos, porque desde el siglo XX y más pronunciado en estas dos décadas del presente, se observa esta tendencia de recambio de gobiernos reaccionarios barridos por la crisis por otros gobiernos reaccionarios. Lo que sí merece ser complementado en cuanto se refieren al “aumento de la inmigración irregular”, diciendo que Trump se ha beneficiado por haber despertado las más bajas pasiones xenófobas entre los electores, usándola en forma abierta como uno de los ejes de su campaña electoral, mientras la Kamala Harris a usado un discurso xenófobo vergonzante. Los afrodescendientes, los latinos y los demás inmigrantes no olvidan que la Kamala Harris como Fiscal General fue especialmente dura contra ellos con su política de “ley y orden”.

Nuestros comentarios se centran, por esta vez, en estas dos cuestiones: “legitimidad democrática” por mayoría de votos y las ”las divisiones” o la “división en la política de los EEUU”.

No es cierto que Donald Trump y demás representantes al Congreso (Senado y Cámara de Representantes) hayan sido elegidos por la mayoría del pueblo norteamericano por medio del voto general y libre (“legitimidad”).

Las siguientes cifras recogidas de diferentes medios lo deja claro:

“Trump ha alcanzado unos 74.500.000 votos aproximadamente, cifra muy similar a la que lo llevó a la derrota contra Biden en el 2020 con 74.225.000. Por el contrario, la caída demócrata va del récord histórico de votos para un candidato a presidente en la historia de EEUU con 81.300.000 votos para Biden en el 2020, a 70.800.000 para Harris, con una pérdida de 10 millones de votos en 4 años y que los coloca en la derrota más aplastante desde 1988 (perdiendo en el voto popular, en el Colegio Electoral, en el Senado y en la Cámara de Representantes). Diez millones de votantes que fueron claves para expulsar a Trump de la presidencia y que en esta ocasión, aún a conciencia de la posibilidad de su reelección, se abstuvieron de votar”.

“A fecha de 6 de noviembre, y con el proceso de recuento aún no finalizado por completo, los votos contabilizados representaban el 65% de la población en edad de votar en los EE.UU. Este valor supone apenas un decrecimiento de un punto con respecto al récord de 2020, cuando se registró el nivel de participación más alto de los últimos 50 años”. (Statista)

“Trump ganó las elecciones de 2024 alcanzando los 312 votos electorales, sobre los 226 de Harris, y obtuvo el 50,4% del voto popular, es decir 74.532.699 de votos, de acuerdo con el último conteo de CNN. Los datos definitivos no estarán disponibles hasta diciembre» CNN).

How Trump's election came and what it brings to the planet - KKEml - for debate

 

How Trump's election came and what it brings to the planet

The US election has concluded, recording an at least comfortable victory for Trump. A victory that flatly contradicted the chorus of "predictions" and "estimates" of the most "authoritative" agencies and "analysts" who, until the last minute, even through exit-polls in US states, presented a picture of an "electoral derby" or even a Harris lead! This construction is also a measure of the "democracy provided" by electoral processes for capitalist parliaments in general, let alone in the USA, with the given electoral-political system and the undisguised domination of the electoral process by billionaires!

As post-electoral distortions about the terms of this electoral victory and phony concerns about the real goals of the US abound, here are some initial points on this issue.

  1. Trump's electoral victory was undoubtedly based on the support of billionaires and we would say that Musk is only the tip of the iceberg. Key power centers have been firmly behind him and at his side throughout the civil-war-like election period, seeking to shape —through him and with him— responses to the big and urgent issues facing US imperialism. And it is precisely because these answers are being sought and shaped that the turmoil and overall reconfiguration of the US political system will continue. It is not only the "Democrats" who are looking for a navigating line and a leader after their "exhaustion" with Biden and the last-minute change with —the "unknown" until July— Harris. Also for the Republicans, the "line-identity" of Trump and —of similar and upgraded standards of his vice-president— Vance, creates new elements, "new party", as it was recorded during the election with a number of their traditional and front-line staff (Cheney etc.) coming out against Trump.

  2. The line with which Trump won the election was based on the American nationalism of "MAGA", the most powerful nationalism, the one that corresponds to the objectives of the first imperialist power on the planet. On the basis of this nationalism he developed all aspects of his ultra-reactive demagogy and managed to electorally rally the majority of the working and popular strata living in conditions of brutal exploitation, poverty, misery and social barbarism. Precisely because "America above all" was presented as the only condition that can save the "American dream" within the US, to answer the acute problems of the masses, in an economy pressured by the crisis, particularly after Biden's unsuccessful programs. At the same time, however, and to make this condition a reality, all the reactive measures, all the atrocities included in the "Trump program" become a prerequisite. From the savage tax breaks for big business to the crackdown on immigrants and women. A class raid, part of the overall class attack on the proletariat and people's rights.

Solidaridad con la revolución filipina !


30 de noviembre – Llamamiento mundial a la acción: ¡Lucha contra los ataques a los Consultores del NDFP!

– por FFPS

– 13 de noviembre de 2024

¡Hagamos que nuestro apoyo a la lucha del pueblo filipino por la liberación sea CLARO y RUIDOSO!

A medida que el año se acerca a su fin, el régimen de EEUU-Marcos ha intensificado sus ataques fascistas contra los consultores de paz del Frente Nacional Democrático de Filipinas (NDFP) y el movimiento revolucionario en general. Hacemos un llamamiento a todos los aliados y partidarios de una paz justa y duradera para que se solidaricen con el pueblo filipino y actúen el 30 de noviembre de 2024 para condenar la escalada de represión estatal respaldada por Estados Unidos.

En un intento desesperado por infundir miedo entre el pueblo filipino y aplastar el movimiento revolucionario, el gobierno reaccionario ha encarcelado, secuestrado, torturado y asesinado extrajudicialmente a consultores de paz del NDFP. Sólo en octubre fueron detenidos tres consultores de paz del NDFP: Porferio Tuna, Simeon Naogsan y Wigberto Villarico.

En virtud del Acuerdo Conjunto sobre Garantías de Seguridad e Inmunidad (JASIG), la seguridad de los consultores de paz está protegida para garantizar su plena participación en las negociaciones de paz. Los ataques del gobierno de Marcos Jr. no hacen sino desbaratar la posibilidad misma de diálogo y dejar al descubierto su intención de perseguir una paz sin principios, obligando a las fuerzas revolucionarias a limitarse a capitular sin abordar sinceramente las raíces del conflicto armado que empuja a la gente a tomar las armas y luchar en primer lugar.

A new important document of CPI (Maoist) - Post-election scenario-Our tasks! - 2 - published from ICSPWI

Second part



 The nature and policies of NDA alliance - Our stand 

Since no party including BJP gained majority, it became the largest party but had to form a coalition government with its NDA allies. However the NDA government and the RSS-BJP are yet the main danger to the country. Imperialists welcomed the election of Modi as the Prime Minister in the NDA government. There will not be any major change in its policies in the interests of the imperialists, comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and feudal landlords and in the brutal attacks on the people of the oppressed classes, sections and nationalities and on their revolutionary, democratic voices.

 There was large speculation about big majority for BJP that created a false boom in Delhi and Mumbai stock exchanges. Thirty lakh crores rupees of ordinary investors were looted. Even before the government was formed there was the NEET paper leak, the scam of grace marks, the toll tax was very high, there were terrorist accusations against democratic voices such as writer Arundhati Roy and whereas Medha Patkar was awarded prison sentence for five months. The unceasing fire in Manipur and the killing of youth aspiring freedom in the name of terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir shall rise in the rule of the coalition government. The past six months have been witnessing the murders of revolutionaries and revolutionary people in scores of numbers in each operation in Operation Kagaar by the Indian Army and Air force in the veil of Para-military, the Para-military, and the Special and Commando forces of the states in the areas of revolutionary movement. The invitation to Modi to attend G7 meet in Italy with the confidence that he would win shows that they need Modi and that Modi’s rule is in their interests. In the name of 'Indianising' the Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code and the Evidence Act that have been being implemented since the British rule, changed as Bharathiya Nyaya Samhita, Bharathiya Nagarik Suraksha Samhita and Bharathiya Sakshya Adhiniyam which are more draconian than during the time ofthe 8 colonialists. In the name of speedy justice this will leads to give indiscriminate punishments on the big scale and the State will become police state. Allies did not expressed even minimum objection that shows how brutal and bureaucratic the coalition government is going to be. 

In order to overcome the world economic crisis, the imperialists need resources, cheap labor power and a broad market in the backward countries. They need evil rulers like Modi in those countries. They need them to adopt policies in the interests of the imperialists, comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and feudal landlords and implement those aggressively in fascist methods. It is beyond doubt that NDA rule will definitely carry them through. All the Parliamentary opposition parties including Congress shall nominally oppose these and try to deceive the people to the best of their strength. These show superficial protest to the massacres of the tribal people, especially in Dandakaranya fighting for jaljungle-zameen-ijjat-adhikar. This is the nature of the comprador ruling class parties that act differently while in power. Therefore, we need to bring the people out of the illusions on these parties. We need to understand that any bourgeois party is the same and works in the interests of the imperialists.

 Intensifying contradictions among the ruling cliques 

Like it did in the past ten years, the BJP under the leadership of Modi is going to conspire to eat away not only the opposition parties but also the NDA allies. There are such experiences in the past. Internal strife came to fore at the time of oath taking ceremony. Key Minister Posts were taken by BJP and unimportant ones were given to the allies. It was a fact that Modi led the 70 ministers from his office in the past ten years like a dictator. Now whoever might be the Minister of whatever department and from whichever party, Modi, his clique and the advisers and bureaucrats will lead. There will be no democracy at least for even in namesake. In this background, contradictions shall increase among the ruling classes. Internal strife shall intensify among the NDA allies. Nitish and Chandrababu Naidu are representatives of the comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and feudal classes. They are loyal servants of the imperialists. But they do not have a 9 religious agenda like the BJP. However, since NDA is an opportunistic alliance, they would definitely look for an alternative if anything goes against their interests. So, due to the big brother attitude and hegemony of BJP, contradictions shall gradually intensify not only in the central government but also in the NDA allies and the parties. This will lead to political crisis. As a result of all these, all the major contradictions in the country shall intensify. 

In the background of imperialist crisis Brahmanic Hindutva Fascism is strengthening. The crisis is exposing the destructive nature of imperialism. People’s struggles are arising against imperialist exploitation and oppression all over the world. The ruling classes of the country clearly understood from the elections that any anti-people policies to exploit the country would be facing strong resistance from the people. Even though the ruling classes of the country are the main enemies of the people, the majority Hindus are being instigated against the minority Muslims, Christians, North East nationalities, the Dalit and tribal people like enemies. There are attacks on minorities. In the background of the election to the Loksabha we cannot imagine that such attacks will stop in the rule of NDA. The ruling classes unleash intense repression on one hand and on the other, try to divert the struggles of the oppressed people against exploitation and oppression and for their rights from going towards revolutionary violence. The conditions demand that these forces must fight more and unitedly. 

The BJP that won for the third time will work in the direction of establishing Hindu state by 2047. It shall make preparations to come to power in the election in 2029 and also in the states from now itself. The imperialist globalization policies and Brahmanic Hindutva Fascist policies of the government are against the interests of the exploited people, sections and nationalities and the country. So, the struggles of the broad people against these policies shall widen and intensify. BJP wants an opposition free country and so the opposition parties will have to face the attempts to break their unity. It will affect the nominal federal nature of the country. So the opposition parties and the state governments will need to fight against this. Organizations, unions, parties, intellectuals and pro-people's media 10 that criticize, question and fight BJP will be targeted more. In order to establish Brahmanic Hindutva state it will intensify elimination of revolutionary movement and the Northeast and Kashmir nationality struggles and suppression of democratic movements. The broad masses and the democratic, revolutionary forces need to fight against this Constitutional autocracy. Minorities, secular and democratic forces need to fight against the majoritarian state. Basing on this political situation, we must adopt tactics to isolate the Brahmanic Hindutva Fascism that is the main enemy and overcome the temporary setback in the revolutionary movement and advance it. 

Our Party and Mass Organisations must always expose the class nature of Modi government constituted of Brahmanic Hindutva ideology. In the semi-colonial, semi-feudal India, workers, peasants, petty and middle bourgeoisie, the oppressed classes and sections and nationalities can solve their problems and ultimately achieve victory only through struggle with firm determination in the leadership of the proletariat. The proletarian party can advance its objective only through planned and regular practice. It needs time, plan and patient efforts among the people. That is the reason the great Marxist teachers spoke about active party leadership for class line, mass line, people’s army, PPW and. united front through collective knowledge of the people. 

It is a big challenge for the revolutionary, democratic forces and the oppressed people of the country to fight Brahmanic Hindutva Fascism that is rising with the objective of establishing ‘Hindu fascist state’. At the same time it is a great opportunity to build a united strong struggle. Therefore, there is a strong need to enlighten the masses of the country and build class struggles and broad people’s movements in ideological, theoretical, economic, political, social, cultural and all spheres in order to militantly resist the policies unleashed by Brahmanic Hindutva fascism and fascist Modi government in favor of imperialists and comprador ruling classes and against the country and the broad masses. The various people’s struggles must be developed into organized, broad, militant political struggles. These must be interlinked with armed struggle in a proper manner. For the 11 purpose we must develop our efficiency in a big way and take up collective practice utilizing the organized force of the PARTY, PLGA and organs of the people. 

RSS considers communists as its deadly enemies since the beginning. Therefore, it has been constantly intensifying fascist elimination offensives on the revolutionaries and the people in the guidance of the LIC strategy and tactics formulated by the US imperialists. As a part of it, it is deploying lakhs of government forces in the areas of revolutionary movement all over the country and is implementing corporatization-militarization. It has been already unleashing war of elimination in the name of reactionary SurajkundOperation ‘Kagaar’, 'Clean' on the just revolutionary movement, the Maoist party, PLGA organs of revolutionary people’s power, Mass Organizations in the leadership of Unified Commands together with the state governments. It is holding armed military operations through the Indian Army, the several Para-military (CRPF, BSF, ITBP, SSB, CISF, NSG) forces, the murderous armed and Commando (Greyhounds, Hawk, SOG, STF, Thunderbolt, Jaguar, C-60), DRG, DVF, Bastar Fighters, Danteswari fighters and other such) forces of the states with 81 mm rockets and various kinds of artillery, shells, drone bombs, Air force helicopters and other such modern weaapons and even light tanks. It is unleashing mass pogroms and creating terror among the people. It is holding large scale psychological operations through the reactionary, monopoly propaganda and mass communication media. It alleges that terrorists and Maoists infiltrated into the movement wherever one comes forth in the country and brands the demands criminal. 

Generally we might not enough perform some times in fighting back each and every operation and campaign of the enemy in high and intense levels and there might be mistakes and confusion in the beginning which leads to more losses and difficulties. We are facing more losses in resisting Operation ‘Kagaar’, 'Clean' due to low preparation for war, low preparedness and confusions. Hence, we are making valuable sacrifices. Subjective effort is important to see that the enemy’s objective is not fulfilled in the ongoing war of elimination. As a part of it we must make active self-defense war-guerrilla war and continue warr for a long time. We 12 must creatively apply the strategy-tactics of PPW with the fundamental rules of guerrilla war – we retreat when the enemy advances; we harass him when he rests; we attack when tired; we chase in retreat; secrecy, speed, change of place – and other such things and develop guerrilla war basing on the developing mass base. We must get accustomed to the intense level war and withstand courageously. We must totally utilize the weaknesses of the enemy, gradually lessen our losses and thus develop the rate of our daily victories. Our propaganda teams, mass work units/teams/organizers, guerrilla units must work in broad areas. These must implement the political line, program and the policies of the party. It means these have to fight for the multipronged interests of the entire oppressed people. There will be favorable and unfavorable aspects in PPW. We must utilize the favorable aspects, overcome the unfavorable aspects and create the opportunities to go forth.

Bruxelles: Heurts et arrestations à la manif anti-Bardella

Des affrontements ont eu lieu entre la police de Bruxelles et des manifestants antifascistes lors d’un rassemblement de plusieurs centaines de personnes  contre la venue du président du Rassemblement National, Jordan Bardella. Ce dernier était attendu à à la Maison de la Hongrie afin de présenter son premier livre et donner une séance de dédicaces. Dès 18h00, les manifestants se sont rassemblée au croisement de l’avenue des Arts et de la rue de la Loi, à l’appel de plusieurs collectifs. Une tentative de forcer le barrage policier a été repoussée à la  matraque et au gaz lacrymogène. Une manifestation sauvage s’est mise en route, attaquant le siège du VB au passage, place Madou, et a pu atteindre le rond-point Schuman où la police a procédé à une violente charge. La police a tiré des cartouches lacrymogènes et fait usage de canons à eau sur la foule. Il y aurait une vingtaine d’arrestations – les antifas arrêtés ayant été transférés aux casernes d’Etterbeek.

EDIT: Après quelques heures de détention, les manifestants sont libérés par petites groupes et déposés dans différents endroits de la ville.
EDIT2: Il y a eu en fait une quarantaine d’arrestations administratives

Des manifestants dénonçant le génocide à Gaza sont rassemblés ce mercredi soir à 19H, malgré l’interdiction, sur la place du Dam dans le centre-ville d’Amsterdam. Plusieurs dizaines de manifestants ont été arrêtés (photo) et emmenés dans des bus. Cette répression a été suivie d’affrontements : les forces de l’ordre ont été visées par des projectiles et des tirs de mortiers d’artifice. Un tramway a été incendié. Malgré l’important dispositif de police déployé, les forces de l’ordre n’ont maitrisé la situation qu’aux alentours de 23 heures. Au moins trois personnes ont été interpellées suite à ces heurts.

مقاله ی اول – اکتبر 2024


در مورد مساله ی احتمال جنگ دولت صهیونیستی اسرائیل و امپریالیست ها

با حکومت مرتجع ولایت فقیه در ایران

 

یک - نقطه عزیمت ما برای هر بررسی ای تحلیل طبقاتی و مبارزه ی طبقاتی و در شرایط کنونی، جنبش انقلابی- دموکراتیک طبقات انقلابی و مترقی خلق ایران است که علیه حکومت ولایت فقیه و برای سرنگونی آن و برقراری یک جمهوری دموکراتیک انقلابی در ایران مبارزه می کنند. تمامی تلاش ما باید معطوف به تکامل این جنبش انقلابی دموکراتیک و ایجاد حزب کمونیستی( مائوئیستی) طبقه ی کارگر و تامین رهبری طبقه ی کارگر بر این جنبش انقلابی و تلاش برای برپایی جمهوری دموکراتیک انقلابی به رهبری طبقه ی کارگر گردد.

دو- یکی از مواضع این جنبش انقلابی- دموکراتیک که بر ضد حکومت ولایت فقیه است و برای سرنگونی آن مبارزه می کند، علیه دولت صهیونیستی اسرائیل و امپریالیست های غربی است که در جنگ کنونی علیه توده های فلسطین در غزه و تجاوز اسرائیل به لبنان مجموعا بیش از 42 هزار نفر توده های فلسطینی را که حداقل نیمی از آنان کودکان و زنان بوده اند کشته اند.

این مواضع باید در شعارها و پشتیبانی معنوی و عملی( گردهمایی و راهپیمایی به نفع خلق فلسطین و لبنان با شعارهایی به نفع این خلق و در عین حال در مخالفت با حکومت مرتجع جمهوری اسلامی در هر کجا که ممکن و مقدور باشد) از جنبش خلق فلسطین و خلق لبنان در ایران و در کشورهای دیگر خود را نشان دهد.

سه - با توجه به روی کار آمدن جریان های ارتجاعی همسو با حکومت جمهوری اسلامی مانند حزب الله در لبنان و یا تا حدودی هم سو مانند حماس در غزه، حس همدردی طبقات انقلابی خلق ایران با خلق فلسطین و لبنان تا حدودی در سایه قرار گرفته است. موضع توده های مردم که در مخالفت با جمهوری اسلامی به مخالفت با حزب الله و حماس کشیده شده است، در حالی که عناصری از جوانب درست را دارد اما تا حدود زیادی خود به خودی و احساسی و دارای جوانب نادرست نیز هست.

افزوده

جدا از مخالفت با جمهوری اسلامی و حزب الله و حماس و دیگر سازمان های ارتجاعی مذهبی مورد پشتیبانی جمهوری اسلامی، نفرت مردم از جمهوری اسلامی به حدی است که هر گونه پشتیبانی ظاهری و دروغین این حکومت از این سازمان ها را به نادرست، پشتیبانی از خلق فلسطین و یا لبنان می گیرند( در واقع پشتیبانی این حکومت نخست از حزب الله لبنان و سپس از حماس و دیگر گروه ها برای پیشبرد اهداف جاه طلبانه و از سوی دیگر برای بقای خویش است و نه خلق فلسطین). این در حالی است که جمهوری اسلامی و دارودسته ی آخوندهای مرتجع و سران پاسدار ایضا مرتجع هیچ ربطی به خلق فلسطین ندارند.

با توجه به این نکات، موضعی که در بالا از آن صحبت شد به گونه ای خود به خودی به وسیله ی طبقه ی کارگر و توده های مردم اتخاذ نمی شود و نیاز به کار آگاهگرانه دارد.

نیاز به توضیح مداوم مواضع درست و اصولی برای طبقه ی کارگر و توده ها و نیز چرخش هایی در اوضاع است تا به مرور تغییری در آگاهی توده ها صورت گرفته و احساسات شریف و پاک توده ها و همدردی عمیق شان با خلق فلسطین و لبنان و توده های ستمدیده ی عرب دوباره رو آید و بتوانند مواضع درستی اتخاذ کنند

چهار- مواضع جنبش انقلابی - دموکراتیک باید از یک سو علیه دولت صهیونیستی اسرائیل و امپریالیست های غربی در برانگیختن جنگ احتمالی گسترش و ژرفا یابد و از سوی دیگر علیه امپریالیست های غربی در پشتیبانی از حکومت ولایت فقیه در ایران برای بقا در پی سازش های مداوم خامنه ای و سران پاسدار با امپریالیست ها و دولت صهیونیستی اسرائیل باشد.

افزوده

این دو جریان متضاد یعنی روندهای «جنگ» و «سازش» به عنوان دو سیاست امپریالیست های غربی و در راس آنها امپریالیسم آمریکا در قبال جمهوری اسلامی همواره وجود داشته است. از یک سو تهدید به تداوم تحریم ها و جنگ و از سوی دیگر باز گذاشتن راه برای سازش خامنه ای و سران سپاه با امپریالیست ها. جمهوری اسلامی با اتکاء به امپریالیسم روسیه و دولت چین اقداماتی انجام می دهد که روند جنگ را رشد می دهد و از سوی دیگر به سبب وابستگی همه جانبه ی اقتصاد ایران به امپریالیست های غربی و فشارهای زیاد بر اقتصاد به دلیل تحریم ها و ترس و وحشت اش از یک جنبش انقلابی  دموکراتیک اکنون حدودا سی ساله، گرایش به سازش با امپریالیست ها غربی پیدا می کند.

هر دو روند تقابل و سازش آغشته به سیاست بازی و دروغ و فریب از یک سو و درستی و واقعی بودن از سوی دیگر هستند. به عبارت دیگر هم در تهدید به جنگ از جانب  امپریالیست ها و جمهوری اسلامی بلوف، فریب و مانور بسیار و در عین حال حقایقی واقعی وجود دارد و هم در گشودن آغوش برای سازش از جانب امپریالیست ها و یا مانورهای خامنه ای و سران سپاه که میل سازش با امپریالیست ها را نشان می دهند. تفکیک آنچه در هر دو مورد دروغین است از آنچه راستین و واقعی است وظیفه ی ما کمونیست ها و عناصر انقلابی و آگاه است.   

 پنج - اگر چه در شرایط کنونی لبه تیز حمله ی جنبش انقلابی - دموکراتیک علیه حکومت ولایت فقیه به سرکرده گی خامنه ای جلاد و برای سرنگونی آن است اما مواضع این جنبش انقلابی - دموکراتیک علیه دولت صهیونیستی اسرائیل و امپریالیست های غربی خواه در ایجاد شرایط برای جنگ و خواه پشتیبانی از ماندگاری جمهوری اسلامی باید به آن افزوده گردد و گسترش و ژرفا یابد. در شرایط کنونی هر گونه تلاش برای پیشگیری از جنگ و راه انداختن«جنبش ضد جنگ»( در حال حاضر جنگ احتمالی) باید به عنوان وجهی از جنبش انقلابی - دموکراتیک خلق ایران برای سرنگونی ولایت فقیه و در این راستا باشد و به آن یاری کند تا بیشتر رشد کند.

 افزوده

«جنبش ضد جنگ»(جنگ احتمالی) نمی تواند یک جنبش جدا و مستقل از جنبش برای سرنگونی جمهوری اسلامی باشد. در صورتی که «جنبش ضد جنگ» به عنوان امری در خود خلاصه شده، از جنبش دموکراتیک خلق ایران جدا شود، نه تنها موجب رشد جنبش انقلابی - دموکراتیک طبقه ی کارگر و کشاورز و طبقات میانی ایران نخواهد شد بلکه به محملی برای«آشتی با حکومت» در صورتی که حکومت مسیری ضد جنگ را انتخاب کند تبدیل خواهد شد. گروه هایی که در پی ایجاد «جنبش ضد جنگ» همچون امری مستقل هستند بیشتر گروه ها و جریان هایی هستند که به جنبش انقلابی دموکراتیک خلق ایران باور و تعلقی ندارند( برای نمونه نگاهی به لیست کسانی که بیانیه ای با نام « فراخوان جمعی: علیه نظم « نوین» تحمیلی بر خاورمیانه» 21 مهر 1403 را امضا کرده اند بیندازیم) و در بهترین حالت در میانه ی مبارزه ی توده های زحمتکش و میانی با حکومت جمهوری اسلامی ایستاده اند.   

شش -   در صورتی که پاسخ دولت صهیونیستی اسرائیل در حد پاسخی کوتاه باشد و کار به جنگ گسترده کشیده نشود تاثیری حاد بر جنبش انقلابی - دموکراتیک نخواهد گذاشت اما در صورتی که خواه در نتیجه ی گستره ی این پاسخ از جانب دولت جنایتکار اسرائیل و خواه به ویژه پاسخ بعدی حکومت ارتجاعی خامنه ای جنگ گسترش یابد این امر ممکن است بر جنبش انقلابی - دموکراتیک تاثیر گذارد و تکامل آن را کند گرداند و یا برعکس سرعت بخشد.

افزوده

 به نظر می رسد که حداقل تا کنون سیاست امپریالیست ها بر تجاوز و سرنگونی و تغییر جمهوری اسلامی قرار

Brazil – Interview a peasant leader: “The struggle for land is the struggle for power”

maoist road suppport all classe's struggles in Brasil.

We publish some excerpts of an unofficial translation of an interview with Mestre Joelson by A Nova Demcoracia. Mestre Joelson is the coordinator of Teia dos Povos, which according to him is a “gathering of communities, territories, peoples and political organizations, from rural and urban areas”, which wants to form a “struggle alliance independent from electoral politics and State institutions”. Joelson is a historic leader of the struggle in Brazil and a resident of Bahia, of the Terra Vista settlement.

Joelson starts talking about the first years of Terra Vista Settlement, which at first, in 1992 was led by MST and it occupied the land where cacao was harvest, which was 70% of Bahia’s GDP, by latifundium. But all plants were killed by a fungus and that left 25.000 families impoverished. So then the families retook the land and founded Terra Vista settlement. It was later, in 1997 and 1998 when a new wave of mobilizations arose in the movements for struggle for land in Bahia. Now, as AND states, there are still important attacks against the peasants in the area, the most outstanding is the Mãe Bernadette Revolutionary Area, organized by the League of Poor Peasants (LCP), carried out the self-demarcation of their lands in a “People’s Court”, facing and defeating armed bands by the latifundium.

Joelson also states on the character of the struggle for land:

“Look, it’s not new that the State, the State apparatus, is at the service of the latifundia. That comes from Colonial Brazil. The State is a legal arm, an armed arm to contain the struggle for land. Because the struggle for land is the struggle for power. Whoever has land and territory has power. Those who don’t have it, don’t have power. And we have to understand that the struggle for land is also an anti-capitalist struggle. If it doesn’t have these characteristics, struggling against the government and against capital, it has no meaning. Because capitalism is no longer reformable. There is no longer any condition for reforms. So it’s a struggle against capital”, stated Joelson.

In addition to that, he also speaks on how the social movements awaited for the PT government to solve the land problem with the agrarian reform, which never came. “This is an anti-capitalist struggle, an antagonistic struggle, in which latifundium has to die, agribusiness has to die, so that the landless peasants can survive. So there is no possible agreement in this struggle.”

He states clearly that Invasão Zero is part of the armed groups of the latifundium, which take advantage of the non organization of the social movements: “When movements come together, prepare the struggle and face Invasão Zero, this group disappears. So it is the inability of social movements to organize themselves to face Brazil’s greatest enemy, Brazil’s oldest enemy, which is the latifundium (…)”. The peasant ended stating: “A class alliance against latifundium, liberalism and capitalism is urgent. And not to carry out agrarian reform, as that no longer fits”.

Similarly, as the conclusions of a statement by LCP:

“Our struggle is just, our cause is sacred! We call on the peasants to build armed self-defense organizations in the struggle for land in the same proportion and caliber as the latifundium does! We call on the peasant leaders who did not bend the knee, the squatter leaders, the indigenous peoples, the Quilombola organizations, the populations affected by dams, mining and eucalyptus plantations, the proletarian masses and other workers in the city, who are increasingly struggling in defense of their trampled rights, to close ranks with our brave peasantry, on the path of the Agrarian Revolution.”

A new important document of CPI (Maoist) - Post-election scenario-Our tasks! - 1 - published from ICSPWI

first part



 Post-election scenario-Our tasks! 

Under the leadership of Modi the formation of NDA coalition government will continue the main danger of Brahmanical RSS-BJP for the people and country. 

• Let us militantly resist Brahmanic Hindutva Fascism and the anti-people policies of the fascist Modi’s alliance government by building various forums of United Front at all levels! 

• Let us fight back the war of elimination ‘Operation Kagaar’ unleashed by the murderous government by preparing the Party, PLGA and the people for class struggle-guerrilla war! 

Comrades,

 The CC of the CPI (Maoist) firstly conveys revolutionary greetings to the people of the areas of revolutionary movement for boycotting the elections to the Loksabha on the call of the Party. The BJP made a conspiratorial plan in the leadership of Modi-Amit Shah-Mohan Bhagavat to gain majority in the elections and to transform the country into a Hindu theocratic state and thus facilitate the way for the exploitation of the imperialists, comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and big landlords without stop. The Constitution needs to be changed basically so as to establish a Hindu theocratic state that divides the people on the basis of religion. For the purpose, it needs to gain three fourths i.e., 403 of the total 543 seats. Thus came forth its slogan ‘Ab Ki baar-400 par’. In a Hindu state, the discrimination towards religious minorities in education, employment, legislative bodies, judiciary and other such spheres would become Constitutional. A majoritarian state or an apartheid state will be formed where Muslims and Christians will not have equal rights and Hindus alone will have powers on all the spheres. BJP entered the arena well prepared to win the election with this evil plan. Majority of the opposition parties formed into an alliance in the name of INDIA and entered the arena. 

 Let us evaluate the situation after elections and formulate the necessary tasks for the revolutionary movement. In our country that the ruling exploitive classes boast to be ‘the biggest democracy’ of the world, elections were held as a farce to the 18th Loksabha and the Assemblies in Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Odisha and Arunachal Pradesh from April 19th to June 1st. Let us see how the elections took place. The Election commission permitted to spend Rs. 25,000 per candidate for the election in 1952 that rose to 95 lakhs by now. This is 380 times more. However the limit applies only for the candidate but not the party he belongs to. EC assessed the expenditure of all the parties in this election at Rs. 1,42,000 crores. It amounts to Rs.1400 per vote. Every ruling party gave ticket to the rich alone. According to the Association for Democracy Reforms (ADR), 8360 candidates participated in the election out of whom 1644 have a criminal history. 251 of the newly elected have a criminal history. Five percent of the candidates have assets above one hundred crores. 541 are very rich. These elections once again clearly showed how costly ‘democracy’ is in our country and that ordinary people cannot stand or win in the election and why genuine democracy lacks. If we see the trend of the elections – selling and buying of votes became an affair of public market. Misappropriation was in the rule. The EC seized Rs. 11,000 crores in this election. This is three times more than the amount of Rs. 3,477 crores see in 2019. In spite of the hype for voting made by the EC, the ruling parties, the NGOs and the media, polling was at a mere 65.79 percent in 2024 when compared to 67.4 percent in 2019. The percentage of polling gradually decreased phase by phase. Above 35 crore people did not vote. In the semi-colonial, semi-feudal country where Parliamentary democracy has no meaning, people in the many areas of the country who are unable to understand the alternative to solve their problems are choosing boycott of election as a weapon. The number of voters is above 97 crores in the general election. Votes polled were 64.2 crores including invalid and NOTA ones. Out of this polling BJP got 36.6 percentage of votes (23 crores), whereas its alliance got 7 percent votes (4.5 crore). The vote share of NDA-BJP was mere 43.6 3 percent (27.5 crore votes). According to the ECI declared data the total polled votes were 64.2 crores, but the alliance under the leadership of BJP got only 27.5 crore votes. This reveals that this is the minority vote and failed to get the confidence of majority people and unfit to form the government. But this alliance with the majority of seats in the parliament came in to power shows how fake is this democracy! Apart from BJP got how many seats and votes, the real danger of the people- RSS-BJP could not be defeated without resisting it in all fronts by the people to save the country and themselves. As mentioned earlier, the objective of BJP in this election is to trample all the civil and democratic rights of the people of the states, nationalities and the indigenous tribes in the name of ‘new India’ and ‘developed India’; to formulate brutal civil and criminal codes worse than during the colonial rule, to formulate Acts that change the fundamental essence of the Indian Constitution and wipe out the nominal, democratic, federal system in the country; to get hold of by hook or crook the Legislative bodies, the police, Para-military and other departments, education, health and other sectors, the manifestos of religious and cultural organizations and all voluntary organizations and those of Non-Resident Indians; and to fill them with Hindutva forces; thus structuralize Brahmanic Hindutva corporate-military rule. BJP felt it can do all these if it comes to power the third time. Most of the imperialist countries, the domestic and foreign corporate companies and feudal forces of the country supported it to serve their interests. These classes have been encouraging Brahmanic Hindutva Fascism for the past few years in their economic and political interests. 

The RSS, Vishwa Hindu Parishat and BJP brought into force all its machinery in the country and all over the world into propaganda to support its majoritarianism and majoritarian rule in the past ten years. The entire government machinery was in support of it. The propaganda was such that Modi alone was competing in each constituency, in the name of Modi guarantee. In the midst of this propaganda the BJP left its own party election manifesto and took up hate and false propaganda against the manifest of the opposition INDIA out of fear of defeat. 4 The EC responsible for free and fair elections without hate propaganda acted against it. The Modi government appointed new commissioners with the history of being pro-BJP to EC just two days before announcing the election schedule. The Supreme Court was silent towards this move while it was a violation of its judgment. The EC rejected to take action on the hate speech of Modi. It played a pro-BJP and anti-opposition role all through the process of elections. It took a dual policy. The Modi clique utilized it as an instrument with a prior plan.

 INDIA alliance declared saving Indian Constitution and protecting democracy as their objectives. But they were not organized. There were several contradictions and disunity in the alliance. People did not have strong belief in it. All these helped the Modi clique. 

In spite of any number of conspiracies of the Modi clique and any amount of efforts of INDIA, no party gained majority. The divisive politics of the BJP and the anti-incumbency feeling like in Andhra Pradesh gave relatively more votes for the NDA alliance. Even though, BJP gained 240 seats and NDA gained 293. INDIA gained 234 and others 16. Therefore, BJP stepped down and had to form the government together with its NDA allies on simple majority. This is an indication of the utter discontent among the people towards the exploitive policies of the ruling classes, the corruption and misappropriation of the leaders and the contradictions among the ption and misappropriation of the leaders and the contradictions among the ruling classes. 

The anti-people policies implemented by the earlier governments in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha and at the same time the machinations of RSSBJP, use of money power and misuse of State machinery led RSS-BJP to come in the power independently in Odisha and an alliance in Andhra Pradesh. In Arunachal Pradesh BJP was able to retain its power with its machination tactics, money power and misuse of State machinery. In Sikkim, due to anti-incumbency Sikkim Democratic Front lost the election and Sikkim Krantikari Morcha won the election. Due to the anti-people policies of every bourgeoisie political party, no party are having guarantee to come back to power again after five years. That's why people are unable to understand the real alternative and they are finding no option other than to 5 choose any one of the exploitative ruling parties. When the people consolidate with the practice of the revolutionary party and immerse in the call given by it, then the people will find real alternative.

 The anti-people policies of BJP led to its .failure to achieve its target 

Majority people opposed the Hindu majoritarian ideology, the bureaucratic attitude basing on brute majority and its Brahmanic Hindutva Fascist rule. People protested the massacres and the bureaucratic rule in Manipur and Kashmir. Although the Modi clique instigated religious sentiments through the building of Ram mandir, it didn’t work on the workers, peasants, middle classes, small and medium traders and producers who had several problems and that of unemployment on the whole. CAA brought forth few days before the elections also did not achieve the expected results. Most of the Dalit people suffering from untouchability, mob lynching, human scavenging and other such problems voted against Modi in this election. We also see that the government employees does not vote to BJP this time. The repressive policies of the government towards women who faced patriarchal suppression, atrocities and murders out of prestige and towards the tribal people who fought for jal-jungle-zameen against corporatisation and militarization can be said to be strong reasons that led to the failure of BJP to achieve its target. Several You Tubers exposed and questioned the policies of the Modi government that had more effect on voters. 

BJP could not achieve its sinister objective of crossing 400 seats due to the opposition of the people to the Modi's rule and the consequence of their anti-government vote. It utterly failed to gain even simple majority. Especially people of Tamilnadu, Punjab, Kerala and West Bengal rejected Hindutva politics. People of Mone, Toonsang, Lengleng, Kifir, Nomatur and Sheklak of Nagaland boycotted elections on the call of the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organization in protest to the negligence of the Modi government towards the demand for separate state of Frontier Nagaland. People of the areas of strong revolutionary movement boycotted elections on the call of the Party in the direction of eestablishing an alternate genuine New Democratic politics and organs of political power. People of areas of nationality liberation movement and anti-displacement struggles mostly boycotted elections in protest to the anti-people and repressive policies of the central and the state governments. People of few villages in UP, Bihar and Tamilnadu boycotted elections in protest to lack of minimum facilities. All the candidates who were in the election battle field are exploitive thieves and the people did not find alternative, so many voters pressed the NOTA (None Of The Above) button. 

Hiding these facts the NDA is trying to deceive the people with its Goebbels propaganda that there was an all-round development in Modi’s rule, that is the reason the people elected a strong government, that this is a historic people’s judgment, that they would continue to work for the allround development of the people, that Modi has a clear vision towards developed India and that he has a big role in gaining respect for India and in the elimination of poverty. In fact the election results show that people judged against Modi and BJP and that this is a big political and moral blow to Modi. 

The Modi clique over dependent on Modi with over confident, it looked down the activists of RSS with arrogancy, Nadda stated that there is no need of RSS for the BJP's election campaign now, few seniors who were thought to be coming in the Modi's way and few juniors in the name of lack proper experience kept aside in the BJP. Those who jumped from other parties were given much priority and those of the other parties opposed for a long time by the BJP were accepted into BJP and given tickets. All these led to discontent among the opposition cliques in RSS and BJP. The number of votes for BJP were lesser in 135 seats when compared to the earlier election. It even failed to win the seat in Ayodhya. RSS Sir Sangh Chaalak Mohan Bhagavat himself openly commented on over confidence and ego of BJP.

 Modi aggressively implemented the agenda of RSS. He had its support and that of Adani and Ambani. This gradually increased ego and over confidence in the Modi clique and it came to be bureaucratic.
