The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Switzerland (Red Faction) adheres to the joint international statement, "Let's Develop ..' and a note for debate



The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Switzerland (Red Faction) adheres to the joint international statement, "Let's Develop the Revolutionary Struggle Against the Imperialist War Preparations!", and wishes to be added to the list of signatories, with the following reservation that it wishes to have published as a note to the statement:

"It is the position of the Communist Party of Switzerland (Red Faction) that the principal contradiction in Ukraine today is between Russian imperialism and the Ukrainian nation, although the inter-imperialist contradiction plays an important secondary role. The Russo-Ukrainian War should therefore not be understood principally as a proxy war between two imperialist superpowers, but as Ukraine's war of national liberation against the Russian war of aggression. The Kyiv regime currently wages this war of national liberation due to it representing the pro-Western faction of the Ukrainian big bourgeoisie, while the pro-Russian faction supports capitulation to Russia, and Kyiv should be supported on this basis. This is in no way different from the support given to the Nationalist regime in China by Comrade Mao Zedong during the War of Resistance Against Japan, when the pro-Japanese faction of the Chinese big bourgeoisie, as represented by Wang Jingwei, capitulated to Japan, and the pro-Western faction, as represented by Jiang Jieshi, resisted Japan to a certain point. Mao pointed out:

"The Chinese big bourgeoisie, which is comprador in character, is a class which directly serves imperialism and is fostered by it. Hence the comprador Chinese big bourgeoisie has always been a target of the revolution. However, different groups within this big bourgeoisie are backed by different imperialist powers, so that when contradictions among these powers become sharper and when the edge of the revolution is mainly directed against a particular power, the big bourgeois groups dependent upon the other powers may join the struggle against that particular imperialist power to a certain extent and for a certain time. At such times, in order to weaken the enemy and add to its own reserves, the Chinese

from Maoist Collective of Russia - for debate

Dear comrades,

We are the Maoist Collective of Russia and we are writing to you to address the issue with you recent article "for debate - a letter from Maoist Communist Russia about Joint Declaration 'Let's..." which is found at https://maoistroad.blogspot.com/2023/02/for-debate-letter-from-maoist-communist.html

We are writing not to address the substance of the article, but instead to ask which organization sent you the statement. In Russia there are two namely "maoist" groups, us (Maoist Collective of Russia) and the "Russian Maoist Party". We are not aware of any organization called "Maoist Communist Russia", we doubt it exists.

The problem for us is that we have already received letters from foreign comrades who have published the translation of your article in their respective language and attributed the article to us!

To be totally clear, we have not issued a statement as expressed in that letter, since we were never invited to sign any declarations.

We suspect that this statement was produced by "Russian Maoist Party", but there is no certainty. We and the "Russian Maoist Party" were engaged in a polemic, the English translation of which was published in the newspaper CI (ci-ic.org). We criticize RMP for being an organization made up of hard rightists and outright parliamentarians and we do not want there to be any chance for us to be associated with them.

We want to ask you to eliminate any source of confusion with regards to who the real authors of the article are.

Best regards,
Маоистский Коллектив России

 

Turquie: Critiques et censure après le tremblement de terre -info

secoursrouge

En Turquie, les réseaux sociaux turcs sont inondés de messages de personnes qui se plaignent d’un manque d’efforts de secours et de recherches des victimes dans leurs zones, en particulier dans la région d’Hatay. Les critiques portent aussi sur le fait que ce sont les bâtiments construits, sur cette zone sismique, ces dernières années (et notamment les lotissements de l’autorité nationale de construction, la TOKI), étaient d’une qualité si médiocre qu’ils se sont effondrés comme des châteaux de cartes. La police turque a arrêté une douzaine de personnes depuis le tremblement de terre de lundi pour des publications, sur les réseaux sociaux, critiquant la manière dont le gouvernement a géré la catastrophe. Twitter était inaccessible mercredi et l’organisme de surveillance de la gouvernance de l’internet netblocks.org a souligné que l’accès à ce réseau social était restreint « via plusieurs fournisseurs d’accès Internet en Turquie ». L’état d’urgence a été proclamé dans 10 provinces.

Par ailleurs, les détenus de la prison de Hatay ont déclenché une émeute mercredi soir. Trois prisonniers sont morts et que 12 prisonniers ont été blessés dans la répression (photo). Des vidéos circulant sur les médias sociaux ont montré la brutalité dont les prisonniers ont été victimes et on entend un soldat dire « arrêtez de frapper, il y a des caméras. »

Selon la CGT, 2,5 millions de personnes ont manifesté samedi en France contre la réforme des retraites, dont 500 000 dans la capitale. Avec la quatrième journée d’action contre la réforme des retraites samedi, les syndicats espèrent se faire entendre enfin de l’exécutif, faute de quoi ils se disent prêts à « mettre la France à l’arrêt » le 7 mars. En province aussi, les cortèges ont rassemblé plus de monde que le 7 février. Il y a eu des affrontements à Rennes, Lyon, Nantes et Paris. 10 000 policiers et gendarmes étaient mobilisés, dont 4 500 dans la capitale.

Après l’intervention des forces de l’ordre, les heurts se sont poursuivis sur le boulevard Voltaire, avec des feux de poubelles et de vélos électriques, des conteneurs à verre renversés et une voiture incendiée. Des abribus et des vitrines de banques, de compagnies d’assurances et d’un fast-food ont été pris pour cible. Le cortège de tête a été plusieurs fois chargé par les forces de l’ordre et noyé sous les gaz lacrymogènes. Au total, dix personnes ont été interpellées, selon un bilan donné à 18 h 30 par la police.

A Lyon, des heurts ont eu lieu entre le cortège de tête et forces de l’ordre. Une banque Société Générale a été prise pour cible et saccagée sur le cours Emile Zola ce qui a donné lieu à deux interpellations. Des affrontements ont éclaté à l’arrivée du cortège au niveau de l’hôtel de ville. Des incendies ont été déclenchés sur la place place Lazare Goujon. Les CRS ont essuyé des jets de projectiles et de pétards et ont tiré du gaz lacrymogène et mené des charges. Deux personnes ont été interpellées portant le total à quatre ce samedi pour Lyon.

Proletarian Party of Purba Bangla(PBSP/Bangladesh)

for debate - a letter from Maoist Communist Russia about Joint Declaration 'Let's...

 Dear comrades,

We support the main idea behind your declaration that imperialists prepare a new world war between themselves and against the peoples of the world and that communists must unite against this war and struggle for revolution as the only alternative. You are right to say that it is wrong to 'give support to one of the imperialist factions, when they are all deadly enemies of the oppressed and exploited of the world'.

However, we decided not to sign your statement due to disagreement with how you dealt with the issue of Russian imperialism. When reading your statement, it may seem that only American imperialism and its allies are preparing the new world war. You call Ukraine a puppet of American imperialism and never mention that on February 24th Russia invaded its former colony to subjigate it to its will and later annexed large parts of Ukrainian territory which it occupied. Your statement is written in such a way, that it could be even published in Russia legally! Because you accuse only USA and NATO and thus give indirect support to Russian propaganda.

We consider Russia and China as aggressive imperialist powers who want to re-divide the world and seize a bigger share than it was allowed them before by American imperialism which is still the strongest. In your statement, you mention this only once and indirectly. You called Ukrainians 'mercenary armies', while it is exactly the Russian army which is mercenary - people are lured there by promises of high salaries and the private Prigozhin army even recruits convicts in the prisons promising them parole. Prigozhin mercenaries are also involved in plundering resources of African continent - the true students of European imperialists!

The Maoists always condemned the social-imperialism, they opposed Brezhnev's invasions in Chekhoslovakia in 1968 and in Afganistan in 1979. What is happening in Ukraine today is not much different from that. It was only the revisionists who supported those aggressive wars and now they support Russia and fascist Putin regime because Russia is supposedly not an imperialist! This is not real anti-imperialism, they only mislead the people.

It is sad that real communists do not have a common stand against imperialism and wars of aggression and some support Russia like CPP does.
