Editorial
In
this new issue of the magazine we reaffirm the editorial of the first
issue with which we began this adventure. The magazine Two Lines
Straggle:
"It
is not the magazine of a party, nor of a bloc, nor of a particular
faction or tendency within the Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, but the
decision of different parties and organizations to promote the
two-line struggle within the communists, as the name and slogan
indicate, and to contribute to their unity, in particular, with the
preparation of a Unified Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Conference.
"The
need for a magazine like Two
Lines
Struggle
lies in the urgency for the International Communist Movement to
respond to the challenges posed by the world situation, in the face
of the extreme sharpening of the most important contradictions of
imperialist capitalism: that between the proletariat and the
bourgeoisie, that which exists between the imperialist countries and
the oppressed peoples and nations, the one that exists between the
different imperialist countries and the monopolies.
"Contradictions
which in turn provoke an upsurge of the world revolution expressed by
the uprisings of the masses of people throughout the world, the
aggression against the oppressed countries and their wars of
resistance, the growing preparations for a world war for a new
division of the world, to which is added the scandalous destruction
of nature... facts that indicate the advanced state of agony of
imperialist capitalism and the excellent conditions for the advance
of the revolution that demand that the communists unify their efforts
to constitute a centre of international revolutionary leadership and
advance in the construction of the Party of the working class in each
country, essential to guarantee the triumph of the World Proletarian
Revolution."
The three previous issues of
the magazine presented the first texts prepared by the parties and
organizations that created the magazine; In addition to other
important documents, we highlight the one by the comrades in India,
"The position of the CPI (Maoist) on the International Communist
League".
It is clear that it is
necessary to combine the struggle between the two lines with the
development of the debate in order to continue on the path of the
objective of this 2LS, which is the creation of a genuine unified
international conference of MLM that can, on the basis of unity of
principles and actually achieved action, form a new International
Organization that will be a second step on this path after the first
step constituted by the foundation of the RIM, of which we celebrate
this year the 40th anniversary, and a real way out of the crisis of
the international communist movement caused by the collapse of the
RIM. A crisis that has generated dispersion, fragmentation instead of
unity, nationalism instead of internationalism, weakness instead of
strength, to face the great challenges and opportunities that the
international and national situation offers to the ICM today.
The
ideological, theoretical and programmatic work that we have done is
still insufficient to achieve unity in an International MLM
Conference; it is necessary to advance in the struggle against both
revisionism and "leftism"; that line, extremist in words
but opportunist in deeds, which in appearance elevates principles but
distorts them in such a way that it replaces Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
with empty phraseology.
We have a lot of work to do on
this, with a dialectical method.
The second question is one of
theoretical-practical conception. This 2LS must be realized in the
fire of the class struggle in close connection with the masses. And,
therefore, a demand that must be accompanied and fused with the
battle against the political positions that derive from the
ideological and theoretical positions of that fraction on the great
issues that characterize the struggle of the communists in the mass
proletarian movement in the countries oppressed by imperialism, the
heart of the storm that the world is going through, as in the
imperialist countries, the heart of the clash in the belly of the
beast. Because there is no doubt that the consequences of these
theoretical and ideological positions are an incorrect tactical and
strategic line in the face of imperialist war, reaction and the new
(modern) fascism, the organization and trade union and social policy
of the proletariat and the popular masses, both in the countries
oppressed by imperialism and in the imperialist countries, which in
the end will determine the victory and advance of the ICM and the
fate of the proletarian and socialist revolution in the world.
This
work corresponds to the proletarian internationalism pointed out by
Lenin, on the basis of Marxism, and to which Chairman Mao firmly
adhered.
Precisely for this reason 2LS
is nourished by the effort to unite all the MLM communist parties and
organizations of the world in the May 1 Declarations, both in the
diversity of accents, positions and practices that remain, and in the
work of all communists in supporting the spearhead of the revolution
in the world represented by the people's wars, in the first place the
most advanced in our field such as the People's War in India, led by
the Communist Party of India (Maoist).
The
2LS marches towards unity for an MLM International Conference,
striving to establish the line of action in the face of the current
situation at the international level, supporting the people's wars in
a joint work, carrying it out with different methods in different
fields and between different forces, based on the concrete analysis
of the concrete situation; all of which requires the management of
the relationship between unity and struggle, between joint steps
forward and knots untied and to be untied, which is based on the
effective advance of the communists and on the proletarian and mass
movements, in the tactical and strategic aspects, and not on
self-propaganda, the repetition of stereotyped phrases, the
self-representation of linear and surprising advances, which are
objectively the characteristics of the subjectivist fraction
represented by the LCI.
This
new issue shows that the struggle of the two lines is advancing in
the service of the unity of the communists and the new unity of the
proletariat and the oppressed and exploited masses.
