We publish the english translation of the
very important statement of the Communist Party of Brazil (Red
Fraction) that was sent to us.
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
On the incidents of the 1st of May in Berlin, internationalism and the two lines struggle for the unity of the International Communist Movement
To
the International Communist Movement, the proletarian revolutionaries
in Germany and the anti-imperialists in the whole world:
In the 1st
of May, the so called “Jugendwiderstand” [“Youth Resistance”] (JW)
deliberately attacked revolutionary activists during the march of the 1st
of May in Berlin. The activists who were attacked were part of the
Internationalist Block and carried scarfs and banners of the World
Campaign for the 200 years of the Great Karl Marx, with the slogan of
“Proletarians of all countries, unite!”. These are the same activists
that for a long time, both in Germany and abroad, have been in the front
of the International Campaign of Support for the People’s War in India
and actions to support the People’s War in India, Peru, Philippines and
Turkey, as well as to the revolutionary struggle in Brazil and Latin
America.
This
incident did not result from a heated political debate that could cross
the limits, but was a surprise and coward action of aggression, without
any justification, against revolutionary militants. It is a grave fact
that sinisterly converges with the imperialist reaction, because it
happened precisely when the imperialist German state had unleashed a
hateful witch hunt, that is still going on, against the revolutionaries
who were accused of violent actions during the G20 summit in
Hamburg-Germany in July 2017.
We
consider this a grave problem for all the democratic revolutionary
movement in general and the communist revolutionary movement in
particular, from which a clear position is demanded by all the true
communists and revolutionary democrats. Since its happening we reject
and crush such attitudes and we reserved a greater time in order
to, based on the close examination of the information and public
declarations presented by the organizations that were directly involved,
publicly speak.
The attacked activists are part of the growing revolutionary movement in Germany, within which a hard and incontrovertible
two lines struggle for the necessary, pending, late and great task of
reconstituting the Communist Party of Germany is being waged. A struggle
and task that are inseparable part of the struggle for the future
reconstitution of the Communist International, together with the intense
struggle of the marxist-leninist-maoist Parties and organizations of
Europe, Asia and Latin America. This whole revolutionary movement in
Germany is part of and represents true internationalism, proletarian
internationalism.
As
the Committee Red Flag – CRF from Germany clearly exposed on the
happenings, the “JW”, under the direct and personal command of its
leader, used the situation in which the Maoists from Berlin were
participating in the demonstration to launch a physical aggression
against them. It is important to reproduce their description and
understanding of the reason of this hysteria:
“Our
comrades participated in the 18 o’clock demonstration in Berlin with
the mentioned front in the international block. There are very different
forces active in this demonstration, which always mobilises around
10.000 people. It is not a demonstration led by communists. The people,
who organise this demonstration are no people whom we seriously expect
to challenge this state, to put it very diplomatically. But it is a
demonstration, where the masses want to fight; where revolutionarists
want to fight; where the communists have to be to bring the clear voice
of the proletariat in this cacophony, this chaos. And this is what the
comrades have done. They achieved a spontaneous participation of the
masses. The enthusiasm of the masses about the banner of 200 Years Karl
Marx meant, that our comrades need not carry it, but gave it into the
hands of the masses. And one of them made a very expressive remark. When
the comrades asked: Are you not tired, comrade, don’t you want to hand
away the banner?, he responded: I will not give away this banner for all
my life. This is the work of the Maoists in Berlin.”
“This
provoked the right liquidationists to deadly hatred. This breed of rats
walked behind the rows of the police. The rows, which separate the
demonstration from the pedestrians. Then the head of this gang gave the
direct order to attack. They stormed through the rows of the police. Of
course they have not been hindered by the reactionary state. They
specifically targeted the masses of the International Collective Berlin.
These wretches have threatened comrades under the operative leadership
of their head’s minion. They told the comrades not to do activities in
Neukölln, because it would be, in their neanderthalian phrasing, “our
hood”. Then, before the masses could mobilise their answer, the rats
retreated protected by German police.” …. “In consequence: These breed
of rats, who always fled from open ideological and political struggle,
who never wrote any document of criticsm against the proletarian
vanguard in formation in the FRG, started to attack comrades physically
by mobilising lumpen thugs.”
“Why
is this bunch doing such an attack now? They do so, in order to hide
their roaring failure. Nobody shall talk about the fact that their so
called 13 o’clock demonstration was a roaring failure. Since they have
begun this theater they are fewer and fewer. They get more and more
isolated. The only ones who join them are lumpen and reactionaries, no
matter what flags they carry. Of course they hate our comrades for that.
We proudly declare: Yes, this is our fault. Yes, we countered your
mobilisation. Yes, we argued against you. Yes, we denounced your
political standpoints. Yes, we sold the Rote Post in Neukölln. And damn
good on top of that. And yes, we sold the Klassenstandpunkt in every
“left local”. And hence, people like you a little bit less. Yes, we are
responsible for your defeat.”...
....
“What is the consequence of this? We summarize it like this: Under the
conditions of the sharpest anti-communist witch hunt, which threatens
hundreds of revolutionaries in the FRG with law suites, the proletarian
vanguard in formation progresses closely shoulder to shoulder with the
communists all over the world.
Against
this, there is right liquidationism, that is opposed to wanting a
militarized party. They bargain with the struggles of the peoples of the
world and, by now, are degenerated to the worst, most degenerated gang
mentality, as it can only exist in Berlin.
The
publication of the Rote Post, a newspaper that gives a voice and an ear
to the deepest and broadest masses, made this bunch desperate. It
demonstrates the power, the strength, the invincibility of the
application of Maoism. When Maoists dare not to limit themselves to
general declarations, but to grasp the real problems of the masses in a
form and style, that allows the mobilisation, organisation and
politisation - in perspective the arming - of the masses, then
revisionism has mortal agony. An important result of the distribution of
the Rote Post was the attack of three lumpen on two comrades, who sold
the Rote Post at Sonnenallee [street in Neukölln]. Draped in thick gold
chains and all other signs of lumpen culture, they wanted to forbid the
comrades to sell the Rote Post in Neukölln.1”
Although
in their “answer”, “JW” is attacking the CRF as a “dogmatic”, “ultra
dogmatic” sect and of “narrow thought”, they try to evade the problem themselves by attempting to get rid of any responsibility with the misguiding disclaimer that they would be a: “revolutionary
youth mass organization - no communist cadre organization, no party, no
party-building organization - so we are in the form not bound to any
guidelines of these”.
Which
means, this grouping of youths proclaims themselves to be outside of
the limits of the communist movement. Why then did this grouping made an
attack against a contingent of the revolutionary activists who are part
of the movement in struggle for the reconstitution of the Communist
Party of Germany that, as such, is part of the International Communist
Movement and the struggle for the future Communist International? And
why is this small incident covered with such great importance for the
development of the current development of the ICM?
On its turn, curiously, since the happening and until now - after the forceful denounciationfrom the activists and the directly attacked organizations and, also, the cynical declaration and prevarication
of facts by the coward aggressors, the “JW”, and the positions taken by
other parties of the ICM - some “prominent” characters of the
international movement, always very active in these occasions, mentioned
nothing regarding it and kept a convenient silence, and although they
know the facts they pretend to be deaf, blind and numb and even do not
take a clear and public position.
It
was not by chance that this sinister happening occurred in Germany and
in Berlin. For some years the communist movement in Germany experiences a powerful development, because there the advances of the maoist left are being manifested in forceful form, breaking with the complacency of a long tradition of revisionism and reformism. It is the same CRF that, in its declaration, puts forward the contradiction of the proletarian movement in the country:
“The
ideology of the proletariat was born here. And here it was negated for
the first time. Marxism is a “German invention”, but so is revisionism.
Bernstein, Kautsky - Germans. Only Germany was capable to create someone
like Ebert or Noske. What is clear from the start: In Germany the
contradiction has to be sharpened. There is no middle way in Germany,
which Marx called the Prussian Smaller Germany, which was founded on the
genocide of the Slavic people by the Teutonic Order. There is no
“social peace”. In Germany there are two options: Subjugation or fight
for life and death. We, who continue the work of Karl Marx on this soil,
will not subjugate ourselves. Hence we always insisted that the party
of the proletariat has to be a war machine. It has to be a machine of
ruthless class war. Communists in this country have to follow this path
from the start. This is not an easy way. It is not a way, which is
appreciated by those, who want to go on wasting away in this system;
those, who want to live in this rotten, dying and parasitic system. It
is nothing for those, who want to keep on living as always, those, who
want it comfortable, who want to arrange themselves with the situation.
Consequently resistance against this path has to develop from those,
who want to bargain with the struggle of the peoples of the world, the
struggle of the working class, for their own small-minded and lumpen
interests because of “personal”, meaning egoistic, individualistic
reasons. This is where right liquidationism originates from.”3
The “JW” from Berlin emerged as a group that separated from the CRF for ideological, political and methodical differences, but principally for capitulating in the struggle for the reconstitution of the Communist Party of Germany, refusing the two lines struggle, to be formed as a separategroup.
The filthy action of the people of “JW”, as is not hard for anyone to conclude, is a symptom of despair, but also a political and methodical expression of a certain ideology and also
not an isolated fact. It is a political action of a militaristic kind
that not only is largely distant from the proletarian ideology, politics
and method, but is its opposite and joins together with other attitudes
present in the ICM, typical to
the right line. Such acts are the continuity of the opportunist
politics of substituting the two lines struggle in dealing with the
contradictions, for the forge of the communist party, the proletarian
revolutionary line and for persisting on it, with the tolerance,
diplomacy, liberalism, criticism and self-criticism as a rhetoric and
administrative methods, divisionism and splitting in practice
It
is true that facing this split, some forces of the ICM were truly
confused or undecided and, due to the lack of further information, kept
relations with what revealed itself to be a little gang.
Anyone
that is truly interested about the situation of what happens in Germany
can find documents of the Committee Red Flag - CRF (see website Dem
Volke Dienen – Serve the People) that shows a broad ideological and
political basis as well as forceful practical advances, corresponding to these principles.
However, for some time certain rightist and recalcitrants
used this situation of emergence and opportunistically tried to raise
“JW” as a “true maoist organization in Germany”. This generous and short-sighted sponsor does not follow any verification of the proletarian principles, but mere political convenience in using this kind of grouping as the tip of the spear to oppose the advancement of the ICM, united under the old cackle of the revisionism of all times of accusing the left of “dogmatism”. Without ever providing any theoretical or practical basis, the “JW” started to attack the CRF with the epithets of “small sect”, “sectarians”, “dogmatics”, “gonzaloists”, etc.
The “JW”, in its pursuit of publicity and prominence, accepted the miserable role of a pawn on the board and was thrown by their sponsors into the “Lion´s Den”,
while the true responsible for the incident of Berlin keeps complicit
silence. For this we consider that the correct understanding, debate and
positioning of everyone on this happening is part of the necessary
development of the two lines struggle that pit two opposed conceptions and two opposed lines on internationalism against one another and propels the ICM, just in the moment when it advances and struggles for the complete overcoming of the dispersion of forces in it.
So this attack is not only an attack against a contingent of revolutionary militants of Berlin, or Germany, which would be a grave fact by itself, but constituted in an attack of the rightist and liquidationist
opposition to the struggle for the reunification of the International
Communist Movement, as it is irrefutably characterized in facts and
shamelessly prevaricated in the statement of its authors.
Such
happening is on the base of the inevitable and necessary two lines
struggle in the ICM, such acts, despite the most grotesque it can be, is
not an unthoughtful attitude or rapture
of youth facing a sharp divergence and even less an isolated fact. They
express ideological-political positions within the ICM that, on the
contrary of being based on the proletarian methods and criteria on
dealing with the internal contradictions, which is the open and loyal
two lines struggle, intend to impose administrative and bureaucratic
methods, which like in the case in question, fall
into gangsterism practice. Behind such attitudes there are
ideological-political conceptions and positions which correspondence in
methods is equivalent to the same methods and criteria of the
bourgeoisie of free-for-all.
So it is necessary to go to the bottom of the question and put on the
table its true nature, because it is the dirty method of struggle in
service of those who, speaking of marxism-leninism and including maoism
oppose to two lines struggle. Unmasking these evil intentions is part of the two lines struggle to clearly mark the red line with revisionism and opportunism.
Two conception of internationalism and two opposed lines in the International Communist Movement
In the last years the ICM experiences
an undeniable and potent re-emergence. This re-emergence is a result of
the accumulation of hard two lines struggle in its interior, of the
implacable combat to revisionism of the old and new kind, such as
avakianism, prachandaism and the Right Opportunist Line in Peru,
inseparable from the combat against imperialism, its lackeys and all reaction. Old opportunist and revisionist leaders, as well as their liquidationist complicits are being unmasked and defeated, and Maoism is winning battles to be affirmed as the command and guide of the World Revolution.
The
persistence and development of People’s Wars in India, Peru,
Philippines and Turkey, defeating the successive campaigns of
encirclement and annihilation, as well as the so called “peace
agreements” and capitulation, are a great source of inspiration and
solid pillars of Maoism to defeat revisionism and all opportunism. With the field cleared from the weeds
and in the midst of the general crisis of imperialism, throughout the
world, through all continents and through a growing number of oppressed
and imperialist countries, maoist Parties and organizations flourish and develop while raising the banner of the People’s War.
By upholding,
defending and applying maoism the dispersion of forces is being
overcome through the reunification of communists in the whole world,
part by part, a task that today is furnished in the realization of the
necessary Unified Maoist International Conference (UMIC) that originates
a new International Organization of the Proletariat based and guided by
maoism.
The
V Meeting of marxist-leninist-maoist Parties and Organizations of Latin
America, that took place in May 2016, represented a milestone in this
process. The parties and organizations that took part in it and others
that joined, passed to systematically work for the reunification of the
communists in the world, advancing through the impulse of its processes
in each country, the campaigns of support to the current People’s Wars,
the defense of revolutionary political prisoners and prisoners of war
and for the realization of a Unified Maoist International Conference
that originates a new International Organization of the Proletariat.
Starting from the understanding that the communists do not reduce themselves to hide their
goals and purposes and that true unity can not be achieved without hard
and persistent two lines struggle, the Parties and Organizations that
took part in the V Meeting handed three joint declarations, for debate and position taking, to the ICM: “Thesis on the international situation and the tasks of the International Communist Movement”, “Celebrate the 50 years of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution with People’s War until Communism” and “Resolution of Class Solidarity with the Communist Party of India (maoist) and the People’s War”.
In
these documents we advanced on the questions of utmost importance for
the Proletarian World Revolution, such as the understanding of Maoism as the new, third and superior stage of the development of Marxism,
the defense of the necessity of the concentric construction of the
three fundamental instruments of revolution, of the militarization of
the Communist Parties, the understanding of great leadership and guiding thought of each party and the revolution it struggles and leads - among other contributions of universal validity of Gonzalo Thought.
This
understanding was exposed in the joint declaration of the V. Meeting,
as well as in articles of the issues 1 and 2 of the magazine El Maoista, and in the successive joint declarations of the 1st of May,
June 19 (Day of heroism), September 12 (Speech from the jail from
Chairman Gonzalo), December 26 (Birth of Chairman Mao) and of the
celebration of the 200 years of the birth of the Great Karl Marx, among
other documents.
These documents were handed over as contributions for the development of the two lines struggle in the ICM and were broadly debated with other Parties of the American continent, by Parties
and organizations of Europe who participated in the I. Meeting of
maoist Parties and Organizations of Europe, as well as are known by Communist Parties of Asia.
We base ourselves on the teachings of Chairman Mao ofpracticing
unity and struggle, because struggle without unity is ‘left’
opportunism and unity without struggle is right opportunism. This method
corresponds to Marxism - defended and applied by Lenin and Chairman Mao - the one of advocating
the active ideological struggle to achieve even greater and more
advanced unity, through putting the problems on the table. Even more: Acting in frank and loyal form, and not scheming intrigues and machinations and working for unity and not for splitting, for systematically practicing criticism and self criticism, as it corresponds to the principles of democratic centralism.
Those who affirm that the Communist Parties should not express their positions beyond what is “the current unity base”, with the pretext of “preserving unity”, must first tell with whom this “current unity” is with and how was it achieved. Not
clearly and objectively answering to this problem is not wanting a true
unity based on the maoist principles and conceptions; is the
manifestation of conservationism, of resistance to advance and
opposition to two lines struggle. This position leads to avoid the class struggle as the base of everything, nourishes
the right and, then, a serious rightist deviation. When the defenders
of this positions go into a passive resistance attitude to stubbornly act to impede the development of the two lines struggle, they start to play an actively negative role of opposition to the left line and must be harshly combated.
As well remarked by the CRF in its declaration on the incident of Berlin while quoting Lenin in his note:
“When
we speak of fighting opportunism, we must never forget a characteristic
feature of present-day opportunism in every sphere, namely, its
vagueness, amorphousness, elusiveness. An opportunist, by his very
nature, will always evade taking a clear and decisive stand, he will
always seek a middle course, he will always wriggle like a snake between
two mutually exclusive points of view and try to "agree" with both and
reduce his differences of opinion to petty amendments, doubts, innocent
and pious suggestions, and so on and so forth.” 4
Just like we manifested once more in the Joint Declaration of the 1st
of May this year, we understand that the fundamental ideological and
political criteria for the unification of the communists of the world, a
task that today is condensed in the necessity of a Unified Maoist International Conference, are:
“Therefore,
the unity of the communists at the world level demands: 1) defense of
Maoism as new, third and superior stage of Marxism, against all kinds of
revisionism, old and
new, such as the Right Opportunist Lines in Peru, Avakianism and
Prachandism, 2) defense of the People’s War as superior military
strategy of the class, the
Military Line of the Proletariat, center of the General Political Line
for the International Communist Movement, as means to realize the new
democracy and socialists revolutions, to defeat the Imperialist World
War if it is imposed, opposing it with World People’s War.5”
We
consider that these three elements, taken as a unity, fundamentally
express what the International Communist Movement today is, which means,
the demarcation line between Marxism
and revisionism. This unity base is a result of hard two lines struggle
in the midst of the fire of class struggle, in which the ICM has purged itself from the revisionist and opportunist elements, reaffirming the full validity of Maoism, added the contributions of universal validity provided by the People’s War in Peru and the CPP that leads it and by Gonzalo Thought that guides it. Contributions that come from the affirmation that Maoism is the third, new and superior stage of the development of Marxism and the universal validity of People’s War.
Based on these criteria, guided by proletarian internationalism, it is that the Parties
and organizations that took part in the V. Meeting, as well as the ones
who joined this initiative and campaigns, started to work in a systematic and planned form by the UMIC, waging all the positive factors, uniting all the forces able to be united in order to serve the struggle for the reuenification of the communists, for the reconstitution of the Communist International, a task that today is realized
in the struggle for a Unified Maoist International Conference and the
founding of a New International Organization of the Proletariat.
Since
then a series of Meetings and general and regional meetings, world
campaigns and actions were made, in a coordinated work in its planning
and execution: for the 50 years of the GPCR, in defense of the life
and health of Chairman Gonzalo, for the 100 years of the Great
Socialist October Revolution, against the imperialist G20 summit in
Hamburg and the great Campaign for the 200 years of the great Karl Marx,
serving to advance in the reunification of the communists in the whole
world.
The
World Campaign for the 200 years of our great founder Karl Marx under
the slogan of “Proletarians of all countries, unite!” was developed in
vigorous and coordinated form, showing the vitality and the advance in
the unification of the Communists in the world.
The actions of the World Campaign for the 200 years of the Great Karl Marx express the great progress of the International Communist Movement. On the 1st
of May, throughout the world, in the countryside and in the city,
masses marched under the leadership of maoism, upholding the defense of
the People’s War. Parties and organizations marched for the first time
in decades under a single red flag, under a single slogan, and a single
leadership, as part of a single and coordinated action.
On May 5, while some were blowing candles, the maoists realized forceful
actions throughout the world in the same night and under the same
slogan “Proletarians of all countries, unite!” hundreds of red flags of
Communism were hoisted in cities and rural zones of dozens of countries,
uniting with the heroic combatants of the People’s War in India, Peru,
Philippines and Turkey.
However,
facing the march of the maoist parties for the unification of the
communists in the whole world, some recalcitrants based on their eagerness
of hegemonism started to oppose this march, making everything to stop
it. Those who reject the frank and active ideological struggle and
refuse to work collectively with those theydiffer from, like vulgar liberals, advocate the split, preach unity without principles to impose their points of view, advocate and practice then the nefarious hegemonism.
This seems to be the attitude of the high leadership of the ILPS, facing the communist movement in Germany and the International Communist Movement. They seems to have “two weights and two balances” [a Brazilian expression used to express that one applies different criteria to similar situations] on what happens in Germany. Like some others who assumefor themselves the role of implacable arbiter, viewing whatever they judge in their criteria to be a show of “sectarianism”, “dogmatism” and “leftism”, now, while viewing a physical aggression against revolutionary activists, from those who acted in the vilest and most repugnant gangster style and until now were referred to as “democratic”, show to be incredibly omissive and indulgent viewing this coward action.
For
years, the only web page in Germany to actively spread news and support
to the People’s War in Philippines was Dem Volke Dienen, without being
ever mentioned by the leadership of the ILPS, of the NDF (Democratic
National Front – Philippines) or any affiliated organization. But when
this same blog published an article in which the author expressed a
critic opinion on the “peace agreements” between the NDF and the
recently elected government of the genocidal Duterte it was targeted by offensive accusations disguised inoutraged political criticism, published by the spokesman of the NDF on his official website, which immediately started to stigmatize the authors with such criticism as “Internet revolutionaries”, in an absolute form and not presenting greater reason or basisfor this to the German comrades that struggle for revolution in Germany with accusations such as:
“If
you are engaged in a real revolution and not just in revolutionary
phrase-mongering, a favorite past-time of armchair revolutionaries, you
can have a realistic assessment of what is achievable at any given time
based on the concrete objective and subjective conditions and the
balance of forces between revolution and counter-revolution.6"
And it keeps affirming:
“only
infantile petty bourgeois revolutionists or Left ” philistines will
reject any thought of reforms just because it does not fit into their
narrow dogmatic understanding of Marxism as pure storm and thunder
without any place for basic reforms”7
Differently seems to be the adopted criteria toward the “JW” of Berlin. However as soon as they announced a “solidarity” campaign to the People's War in Philippines, after a long visit to the revolutionary bases in the Philippines, they became object of effusive greetings from the high leadership of the ILPS in March 2018.
Since then the “JW” of Berlin started to be painted with the most beautiful colors, their components greeted as notable revolutionaries and their grave errors such as the aggressions, denounciations and splits in the revolutionary movement of Germany were conveniently ignored and/or disregarded as such.
This indeed is being similar to and in correlation with
attitude of the high leadership of ILPS regarding the revolutionary
movement in Brazil: not distinguishing between marxism and revisionism, proclaiming
unity without principles, friends policy, serving its hegemonism, apart
from the policy of spreading split (such as the policy of Avakian and
his party in the times of RIM) in the organizations that do not accept
their administrative and diplomatic methods on dealing with divergences.
The
breaking with ILPS by a part of revolutionary democratic organizations
of Brazil, together with other organizations of India, Turkey, Greece
and others,
despite the divergences on the programmatic eclecticism and opportunist
practices of the ILPS, were mainly due to the method and working and
leading style. And the “last drop” was the summary
revocation of mandates, elected in congress, by a convenient majority
in its Council, without any discussion on important divergences. For not
accepting the continuity of such administrative-bureaucratic methods on
dealing with internal contradictions in an organization that defines
itself on democratic centralism, such organizations, many of them its co-founders, started to become targets of offenses and cliché shouting of labels such as ultra-leftist, dogmatic and sectarian sects.
In Brazil, on the occassion of the emergence of a youth group, among many that emerged in the last years opposing the “left” electioneering opportunism in the management of the old state, our Party openly and sincerely criticized their ideological eclecticism in trying to conciliate marxism with Juche Idea. Althoughtheir main leaderdeclared to be in agreement with the ideology, general political line and program of the C.P.B. (RF) and additional had applied for hisadmittance to the Party through a letter of 20 pages, he limped to support the opportunist government of PT in bankruptcy, under the rota argumentation that those were being attacked by the right. His police of looking for an international sponsor soon became evident, despite the alignment with the revisionist Party of Labor of Korea, he
started to call himself Unity of Communist Reconstruction – UCR; for
“reconstituting the Communist Party of Brazil” he established contact
with ILPS.
The high leadership of the ILPS hurried to promote this group as the most high level
revolutionary organization of Brazil. In conversations through
Internet-Skype with leaders of this group, the leadership of the ILPS
attacked the revoluionary-democratic organizations of Brazil, affirming that they would have beenremoved from the ILPS for having sectarian and ultra-leftist positions. Until then it was about divergences, however in the eagerness of offending them, it did not holdits tongue and when, refferring
to Cebraspo [Brazilian Center of Solidarity to the Peoples], a legal
democratic organization, started to make police-like insinuations,
affirming that “the problem with Cebraspo is the party behind it...”,
insinuating that this organization would have behind it the C.P.B.(RF).
In the end of such conversations, for almost three hours in the
Internet, it
gave lessons and councils to the new pupils that is necessary to work
jointly with the Worker's Party – PT, PCdoB and MST, despite that they
themselves agreed that such organizations are revisionist, opportunist and committed to imperialism. The attempts of this URC to launch defamation and unrest among the youth regarding the C.P.B.(RF)
only brought them failure, not going beyond what it always was: an
eclectic group without any link with the masses. It was like this that
they intended to answer the criticism of the German comrades to the
“peace agreements” of the NDF with Duertre, or the baseness with which in conversations with other interlocutors, they gratuitously attacked us, affirming that the C.P.B.(RF) is only an Internet group.
But long time before these attacks, our party heard for decades these same swearwords
of “dogmatic”, “sectarians”, etc., from the trotskyist currents and
others from petty-bourgeois socialism of the Worker’s Party-PT, as well
as the hardened revisionists of the PCdoB, PCBrazilian and from the
Christian-castroist MST. Today these parties are demoralized after being
perched for 14
years on the bureaucracy of the old state and its shift government
presiding the genocide repression to the masses in struggle. In tatters, demoralized in front of the masses as traitors for their
long list of crimes against the people, while the true communists are
called by the most combative masses, including those who are freeing
themselves from the electioneering misleads they were victims of, demanding revolutionary leadership.
This
is the same attitude that was taken in Latin America in support to the
masses-manipulating populist regimes and its pawn governments in the
board of the imperialist contend. The leadership of the ILPS makes efforts not only to regiment
all and every revisionist, reformist and opportunist organization,
orphans of the failed governments, traitors of the people, some of which
are notoriously anti-maoist, as long as they serve their hegemonist interests, but also to stir them against the revolutionary movement and its maoist leadership.
The banner
of “combat dogmatism” and “orthodoxy”, “combat leftism” and
“sectarianism” is not something rare, on the contrary, they are always
frequent words when the revolutionary movement suffers defeats, passes
through periods of hard difficulties and when the revolutionary
situation gains greater development. For this reason the use of such
words are no news in the ICM. What the historical experience demonstrates
us is that they were never aimed against people from the hue of
Bernstein and Kautsky, Trotsky, Khrushchev, Liu and Teng, but against
Lenin, Stalin, Chairman Mao, Chiang Ching and Chairman Gonzalo. So, such
rejection does not seem neither strange nor surprising considering from where and who they come from.
This radical change of mind of the Parties which were “orthodox” before is accompaniedby thetendency to revisionism, like
Lenin well observes. Let us remember the miserable Prachanda, when in
the beginning of the People’s War in Nepal affirmed “I hate
revisionism!”, when his vile treason wasforeshadowed when entering in theinfamous “peace agreements”, he began to advocate that the main danger for the ICM and the proletarian revolution was “dogmatism”. Whos steps did he follow, if not the ones opened by Khrushchev and followed by Liu Shao-Chi and Deng Siao-ping? In the Conference of Communists and Workers Parties of 1957, in Moscow, answering the cackle of
Khrushchev that the problem was dogmatism, Chairman Mao, defending the
need to combat all kind of deviation, be it right or “left”,
categorically discerned affirming that the main danger for the ICM and
the proletarian revolution “is still revisionism”.
Comrades,
The
Great Lenin, while opposing social-chauvinism of Kautsky, taught us
that true proletarian internationalism for the communists is in that
“the interests of the workers movement in a given country, submit to the
interests of the world movement for emancipation of the workers in its
totality” and Chairman Mao affirmed that: “internationalism is the
spirit of communism”. Does a position that does not express such an axoim represent proletarian internationalism and serves the development of revolution in Germany, Brazil, Latin America and the ICM?
The
Communist Party of Brazil (Red Fraction) effusively greets the
proletarian revolutionary activists and militants of Germany, especially
the communists and combatants in formation of the Committee Red Flag
who assumed the glorious banner of struggle for the reconstitution of
the Communist Party of Germany, honoring it with their actions for the
revolution in Germany and in service of the World Revolution. We greet
the march of the maoist Parties and Organizations in the world, that
through hard two lines struggle in the midst of class struggle against
the wind and tide, implacably combating revisionism and opportunism
inseparably from the combat against
imperialism, its lackeys and all reaction, advancing in all parts of
the world, practicing marxism and not revisionism, internationalism and
not chauvinism/narrow nationalism, working for unity and not for splitting, for the reunification of the communists and not for their dispersion. We greet the young forces of the proletariat that dare “defy the emperor” with the invincible banners of maoism and the People’s War. We greet the Great World Campaign for the 200 years of the great Karl Marx, a historical campaign that is brilliantly serving to advance maoism and the ICM.
We
greet very especially the People’s Wars in India, Peru, Philippines and
Turkey and the Communist Parties that lead them, holding high,
in the midst of uncountable heroism and sacrifices, the red sun of
maoism for the exploited and oppressed masses of their countries and of
the whole world.
In
the midst of the deepening of the general crisis of imperialism, in
which the revolutionary situation in the world develops unequally, the
objective and subjective conditions for a new and powerful impulse to
the World Revolution are formidably ripening with the people’s revolts
and principally with the heroic persistence of the People’s Wars and the
preparation for the initiation of new others. The overcoming of the
dispersion of forces will give a leap with the UMIC and the foundation of a New International Organization, this is an inexorable march.
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism principally Maoism and the contributions of universal validity of Gonzalo Thought!
Death to revisionism of the old and new kind and all opportunism!
For the Unified Maoist International Conference!
Down with imperialist war! Long live the invincible People’s War!
Long live the Great Karl Marx and his immortal work!
