Proletarians of all countries, unite!
UNITE UNDER MAOISM!
DECLARATION FOR DECEMBER 26, ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF CHAIRMAN MAO TSE TUNG
"In the most heroic epic
of the class struggle. It is the class struggle that has generated our
conception, our ideology. Only the proletariat with its great incessant
transformation of the material reality, in productive practice, the class
struggle, having politics as its center, as conquest and defense of Power for
the class DEMOLISHING other powers, could the class generate titans of thought
and action, it was shaped as the great ideology that we uphold and will always
uphold (...) three unfading luminaries stand out: Marx, Lenin and Mao Tse Tung.
This is the way how a great dialectical process, then, created by the proletariat, generating men that only the class can generate, that we have reached Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism.
Marxism-Leninism is acknowledged, it has universal validity. But Maoism is not yet fully acknowledged as third stage. "
Chairman Gonzalo, 1st Congress of the PCP
On the occasion of the
celebration of the new anniversary of the birth of Chairman Mao Tse Tung and
the successes in the struggle to unite under Maoism, with great joy and
revolutionary optimism to the top and expressing our full, complete and total
subjection to our ideology, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism, we
greet the communist parties and Maoist organizations throughout the world, the
international proletariat and the peoples of the world.
First of all, on this occasion
we want to point out, as we have been
taught, as taken from the heading quote, the key is to see how, from that great
class struggle at the world level, a third stage of the ideology of the
proletariat emerges: first as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Tse tung thought; then,
Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse tung thought; and, later, to define it as Maoism while
understanding its universal validity; and, in this way, reach
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism as the current expression of
Marxism. This is the key issue. The core of this is the definition as Maoism.
We start from the fact that
Maoism has been defined, upheld and applied with the People's War by Chairman
Gonzalo and the PCP, this is a historical truth of the international communist
movement (ICM). We count on the almighty weapon of our scientific ideology of
the international proletariat: Maoism.
Upholding, defending and
applying Maoism, we the communists in the various countries and continents are
advancing in the process of constitution and reconstitution of the communist
parties to initiate the People's War, following the example of the parties
that, by defying all difficulties and in complex and difficult situations,
persist in leading People's War. As part and result of this struggle, we
communists are advancing in the struggle to reunite ourselves in a reborn ICM,
advancing in the process for the reconstitution of the Communist International
(CI). Taking sure steps in our march towards a Unified Maoist International
Conference of the Maoist Parties and Organizations of the World and to give
birth to a new international organization of the proletariat as a step towards
the reconstitution of the CI.
Revolution is, historically
and politically, the principal trend in the world, it is not simply that it is
the historical perspective but it is political, it is already at the agenda and
it corresponds to struggle for it. We are in "the 50 to 100 years
..." within that period imperialism and the reaction should be swept away
from the face of the earth as established by Chairman Mao and thus this is the
World Revolution (WR) and it shows us the need for embodying Maoism and it is
being done by generating, through the constitution or reconstitution of
communist parties of a new type, militarized Maoist parties to initiate and develop
the People's War starting to lead the new great wave of the world revolution in
which we develop.
Imperialism is in
decomposition, it is in its collapse.
No one can deny it. They ruin in long agony, in the midst of crises and wars of all kinds. Imperialism is
more monopolistic, more parasitic, more rotten and more moribund. It is
reaction and violence in the whole line.
The cyclical crises of the imperialist
countries follow one another, in the midst of the general crisis that crosses
through it, without these first having yet recovered from the previous crisis;
these are increasingly serious and deep. The representatives of the Central
Banks of the main imperialist countries say that we have not yet concluded
leaving the previous one and in the case another one comes, we do not know
when, but it is sure that it is coming and we are worse prepared than for the
previous one. They can no longer resort to "cheap money" and, in the
midst of their collusion and contend, coordinate their anti-crisis measures
because, according to their experts, there is a decoupling between the financial cycles in the United States (USA) with Europe. That is,
while some apply the rise of interest rates, the others still keep them down.
For that reason, Trump has pressured the president of the Fed (Central Bank of
the USA), so that it does not continue raising the rates because the Yankee
economy has started to fall before the expected.
That is the current situation in the
imperialist countries, both in the USA, the single hegemonic superpower, and in
Russia (the atomic superpower, the skinny dog), Germany, Japan, England,
France, Italy and even the social-imperialist China itself – which has to pay
the bill of having been associated with Yankee imperialism. All of them with
serious problems of state, companies and households indebtedness. Meanwhile the
wealth of financial oligarchy of the imperialist nations astronomically
increases, the over-exploitation of the proletariat in the imperialist nations
and the extra-profit extracted by the imperialists from the oppressed nations
of Asia, Africa, Latin America and even Europe steadily increase.
Wages, working hours and conditions of work
have considerably worsened in the imperialist countries, despite the growth
after the crisis of 2008. As the imperialist governments themselves
acknowledge, the increase in employment has been at the cost of worse wages for
the labor force and the poor quality of employment. Consequently, a powerful
struggle of the proletarian masses in France, Belgium and signs of discontent
and explosions of all kinds in almost all the imperialist countries, from Spain
and Italy to Russia, where the class is mobilized for the defense of their
rights. The proletariat in China reacts with class fury against the redoubled
exploitation and fascist oppression of the Chinese revisionists, who
increasingly squeeze the exhausted labor forces of the workers for the benefit
not only of the exploiters of the country but also of Yankee, Japanese, German,
etc. imperialist financial capital, which deceptively is shown as a Chinese
trade surplus.
On its turn, the proletariat and the people in
the oppressed nations have seen the exploitation and oppression of imperialism,
semi-feudality and bureaucratic capitalism to be intensified, the objective
conditions are becoming more ripe to develop the democratic revolution, to
reconstitute or constitute the communist parties and to initiate the People's
War.
This way the overcoming of a crisis can only
lead to the next and each time the disorder under heavens is much greater. All this, on the one
hand further impulse the reaction of the bourgeois state (landlord-bureaucratic
state in service of imperialism in the oppressed countries) to face the development
of the revolutionary situation in unequal development throughout the world. As
an expression of this, the absolute centralization of Power is developed,
either as presidential absolutism or as fascism, according to the
particularities of the different countries. Absolute centralization to face
revolution and for the war of imperialist aggression. The war of imperialist
aggression against the oppressed countries that does not stop, despite the
trumpeted troop withdrawals of Trump and Putin. The US imperialists, with Trump
at head, are for a new armamentist race to blow up Russia, trying to repeat
Reagan's experience with the social-imperialist USSR.
The collusion and contend between
the superpowers and imperialist powers is sharpened and in the wars of
aggression that principally Yankee imperialism, in its condition of single
hegemonic superpower, promotes against the oppressed nations, just as it is
expressed in the Expanded Middle East, first of all, the first and principal
contradiction in the current world, that is, the contradiction of oppressed
nations against imperialism and also the third contradiction, the
inter-imperialist contradiction for the division of the repartition of the
oppressed nations. To the second contradiction, bourgeoisie-proletariat, we
have already extensively referred to.
On the other hand, as history shows
us, reaction spurs revolution.
Great struggles of the proletariat and the
people in the oppressed nations are the basis of the world revolution, because
there the principal contradiction and the immense majority of the population of
the Earth is expressed. There is where develops the People’s Wars that exist
today, just as the People’s Wars of Peru, India, Philippines, Turkey and the
armed struggles of various types against the imperialist aggression that clamor
for leadership of the Communist Party to become People’s Wars. There, there are
great advances in the process of reconstituting the Party and in leading the
struggle of the masses towards overflow, promoting the struggle of the
peasantry for land as in Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, etc. Or to
resume the path of the People's War like in Nepal, crushing the revisionism of
Prachandra and cronies. Serving the world revolution, conquering
unobjectionable victories in the struggle to unite under Maoism, applying it to
one's own reality with the contributions of universal validity of Gonzalo
Thought and serving to overcome dispersion in the ICM as shown by the
realization of the V Meeting of Maoist Parties and Organizations of Latin
America in 2016 with the participation and subsequent accession of other
organizations from Mexico, Europe and the United States.
In Europe, we highlight the struggles of the
proletariat in Austria that is mobilized against the greater reaction of the
bourgeois state and attack to the rights, which were conquered by the class in
hard struggle against its exploiters. Against the Austrian imperialist
bourgeoisie that dreams of becoming a "European gendarme" against the
threat of the peoples of the Balkans and the oppressed nations of the Middle
East. The Communists struggle to lead the mobilizations of the masses,
struggling to give them a sense of class to the proletarian, anti-fascist,
women, young people and migrants struggles. Advancing in the task of the
reconstitution of the Communist Party of Austria with the constitution of the
Committees for the Foundation of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Austria. The
celebration of the First Centenary of the founding of the Party (November 1918)
by the comrades, with an important central act, shows the historical continuity
of the struggle of the proletariat for its party and for the socialist
revolution and renews the commitment to make its own revolution in and at the
service of WR.
Struggles such as those developed by the
proletariat and the broad and deep mass of the “Banlieues " that march to converge in a
single torrent of impulse and promote the process of the class party in that
country. In this path, the c. of the CMP of France decidedly advance, now
struggling to lead the struggle of the proletariat such as it is currently
being developed with the so-called movement of the "yellow vests".
Not only in these two great European countries the struggle is developing, but
also in the so-called northern European countries such as Norway, Sweden,
Finland and even in Denmark, Maoist organizations are being constituted, which
promote the struggle against imperialism and the antifascist struggle,
establishing greater links with the masses to impulse their struggles and the
struggle for the constitution or reconstitution of the communist party to lead
the People's War in imperialist countries. Also in Canada, Italy, Galicia and
other countries, the struggle of the Communists to serve more and better the world
revolution persists.
In Germany, the awakening of the class and the
struggle for the reconstitution of their party is encouraged, also close to
celebrating the first centenary of its foundation.
Not only that, in these named countries the
task of the party as a combat machine to make the socialist revolution through
the people's war, uniting under Maoism crushing the new revisionism and its
expression the right liquidationism opposed to the party and the revolution,
advances. After the V Meeting of Latin America, three Meetings of Maoist
Parties and Organizations of Europe have been held, serving the present efforts
for the reunification of the ICM, marching with the other parties and
organizations of the world for the Unified Maoist International Conference and
giving birth to the new organization of the international proletariat.
The Maoists in the United States are struggling
together with the deep and broad mass of the proletariat, giving a new impulse
to the struggle for the party of the class, rejecting and crushing Bob
Avakian's and continuator´s new
revisionism, expressing their firm conviction to unite with the other
communists of the world under the unbeaten flags of Maoism and the People's
War, adhering to the declarations and actions for the Unified Maoist
International Conference and giving birth to the new organization of the
international proletariat.
The celebration of this new anniversary of the
birth of Chairman Mao Tse Tung by the communists of the Earth, is of special
importance, since it coincides with the celebration of the 200th anniversary of
the birth of our founder Karl Marx and 170 years of the Communist Manifesto,
the departure of the birth of the ICM, milestone that is valid until communism,
because there humanity will remember how the new humanity was originated.
In this year great achievements have been
conquered for the international proletariat, so that the celebration we will
remember from now on as the great campaign for the 200 years of Karl Marx;
within which the first of May was fulfilled in all the parts under the same
flags, with an important declaration, with the same slogans, the same
direction; a great central celebratory act by our founder Karl Marx in Bremen
(Germany) with the participation of the parties and organizations, with
multiple messages of greetings and adhesion, celebrated with the communist
mark; we have had an important declaration for the 26th anniversary of Chairman
Gonzalo's Speech, when more parties and organizations have closed ranks both
France, the USA, Norway, etc., a declaration whose final part we culminate in
the present; pointing out that the Third Meeting of Maoist Parties and
Organizations of Europe has also been held, with resounding success both for
the number of attendees, the quality of the debate and the two-line struggle,
completed with important agreements and declarations.
From the Third Meeting we must highlight the
assistance of the CP of Turkey M-L, the greetings messages such as the c. from
Galicia, Sweden, etc. Everything expresses, then, advances in the unification
of the communists under Maoism, this is in the acknowledgement of the same as
the third stage of our ideology, everything shows the regrouping of forces,
advance of the left and redoubled attacks of imperialism, the reaction and
revisionism and as always of its expression in the right within the ICM itself,
of the recalcitrant ones that, unable to face themselves, resort to
fractionalist and liquidators groups. On these struggles we refer to the
documentation that we have published jointly or separately by the different
Maoist parties and organizations.
To conclude and with great success we have published
Issue 2 of the magazine The Maoist, for great joy and overflowing enthusiasm
the Maoists and revolutionaries of the world and redoubled hatred of the
reactionary, like those of Peru who have directly attacked the appearance of
the magazine and they have summoned the genocidal reactionary hyenas to pursue
it.
The communist parties and organizations that
struggle for the constitution or reconstitution of their parties advance in
hard struggle of the class struggle in the task of leading, in each of the
countries and continents of the Earth, the struggle for the democratic
revolution with People’s War in the oppressed nations, in the Third World,
where most of the world population are found and the socialist revolution with
People's War in the imperialist nations. In this way, in theory and practice,
the Maoist communist parties and organizations carry out the campaign for Maoism
initiated by the PCP in 1982, developing the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Gonzalo
Thought counter-offensive (from the beginning of the 90s. of the previous
century) with People’s War against the general counterrevolutionary offensive
led by Yankee imperialism as single hegemonic superpower against Marxism, the
party, socialism and the dictatorship of the proletariat and revolutionary
violence.
We fight against imperialism, revisionism and
the reaction inseparably and relentlessly because they are inseparatedly united
and the three must be fought relentlessly.
Each one of us is part of that world struggle
against revisionism, that is, against the old revisionism, against contemporary
revisionism and against the new revisionism, represented, especially in Peru,
by the right opportunist line, revisionist and capitulationist (ROL) headed by
the rat "Miriam" and by the faction headed by the rat
"José" and his clan that acts as the other side of the same coin,
sworn enemies of Maoism, the People's War, Chairman Gonzalo and Gonzalo
Thought. New revisionism in the world that led to the liquidation of the RIM by
the revisionist warlords Avakian and Prachandra.
For
us, these successes are reason for legitimate pride because it involves struggling
in the most consistent way to put Maoism as the sole command and guide of the
new great wave of the world proletarian revolution, which is already developing
in the stage of the strategic offensive of the same.The two combined campaigns are: it is necessary to point out that the campaign for Maoism and the campaign for the defense of Chairman Gonzalo and Gonzalo Thought are strategically linked and can not be separated, so this is why we take them together. For this it corresponds to reproduce the final part of the declaration of the Maoist Parties and Organizations for the 26th anniversary of Chairman Gonzalo's Speech:
"The signatory Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
parties and organizations reaffirm, in this solemn celebration of the 26 years
of the historic and transcendental speech of Chairman Gonzalo, in its full
force and especially in defending the life of this titan of thought and action,
Great Leader of the Communist Party of Peru and the Peruvian Revolution; who
has defined Maoism, as a new, third and superior stage of Marxism and who
established, that to be a Marxist today is to be Marxist-Leninist-Maoist,
principally Maoist. We understand that the defense of Chairman Gonzalo implies
fighting in the most consistent way to put Maoism as the sole command and guide
of the new great wave of the world proletarian revolution, which is already
developing. We understand that this struggle is part of the task to reunify the
communists of the world, which implies putting the principles of Marxism, the
class interests of the international proletariat, the liberation struggle of
the oppressed peoples and nations, finally the fight for Communism in the first
place. "
Long live Maoism!
