Chairman Gonzalo is immortal in the flames of revolution!
Maoist
Group, China
On September 11, 2021, the
leader of the Peruvian revolution and the World Proletarian Revolution, our
Chairman Gonzalo, passed away. The world proletariat was just remembering the
death of the Great Leader Chairman Mao only a few days early, and now we have
received such bad news. The reactionary Peruvian government has plotted for his
assassination for 29 years since 1992, during which he endured inhuman torture
in the Callao Navy Base prison made exactly for him and was kept in a cell
isolated from the whole world: the reactionary government carried out the
planned assassination with this kind of cruel environment. In July, reports
emerged pointing out Gonzalo’s health has deteriorated and was transferred to a
military hospital. Communists launched the movement in defense of the life of
Chairman Gonzalo, the movement is undoubtably a successful one and the
reactionaries were intimidated. The bourgeoisie has always been keen on
deceiving themselves, these rotten garbage don’t accept the fact that they will
be swept away and dreamed of keep on ruling forever and liquidate all forces of
resistance. What exactly did their vilest “low-intensity warfare” against the
People’s War destroy? This kind of warfare is carried out to protect them
forever; the bourgeoisie clumsily imitates and studies the theory of People’s
War, trying to find a breakthrough point to save itself from certain death, but
the crumbling of the bourgeoisie is due to its internal contradictions. For the
bourgeoisie to kill People’s War, it must kill itself first, therefore all
actions in the attempt to save itself become suicidal actions: the people
strengthen themselves and become invincible in this kind of inhuman warfare,
and finally will crush the plot of the reactionaries.
The reactionary Peruvian
government is extremely hostile to and scared of the movement, they
assassinated Chairman Gonzalo in a hurry, praying for their own nightmares –
the world People’s War – will disappear with the vital signs of Gonzalo, but
the action of assassination of Chairman Gonzalo, in the contrary, illustrated
their cowardice and inability. They can only kill Chairman Gonzalo’s body, but
they can’t kill Gonzalo Thought, can’t kill the struggle of the international
proletariat, and can’t kill the Communists! The reactionaries will be swept off
of the face of the Earth, and Chairman Gonzalo will forever be leading our
struggle in the raging flames of revolution!
The reactionary media acted in
concert with this assassination, vilely defaming this great figure, while the
buffoon of the reactionary government Castillo played the leading role of this
farce, smearing him as a “terrorist”, accusing his People’s War of causing the
death of thousands of compatriots, deceiving the people by continuing the
anti-Communist propaganda through the lies of democracy and peace, while
completely forgetting about the sufferings of the people caused by his
reactionary government and the inhuman semi-colonial semi-feudal rule of the
bourgeoisie, how much more than thousands of compatriots have perished! And the
opportunists and revisionists are echoing these self-deceiving cheers, playing
down, calling against and even refuting Chairman Gonzalo as the leader of the
international proletariat. The more they continue this defamation, the more
President Gonzalo is proven to be extremely correct; when the enemies are
attacking us, it means that we are doing the right thing.
Chairman Gonzalo was born in
Arequipa on December 3rd, 1934, he experienced the popular protests
in Peru when he was still a college student, and actively took part in the
strike movement, in where he saw and understood the class struggle between the
people and the reactionaries, while the polemics between the Communists and the
reactionaries at the time made him put even more focus on studying Marxist
theory. After graduation he was in charge of the work of the Ayacucho Regional
Committee and during this time continued to deepen his understanding of Marxist
theory. During the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, Chairman Gonzalo came
to China and saw this unprecedented ideological battle with his own eyes, which
greatly strengthened his determination to wage resolute struggle against
revisionism and his understanding of the revolution. Based on Mariategui’s
analysis on the semi-colonial semi-feudal society of Peru and his concrete
investigation of the Peruvian society, he dedicated himself to the struggle to
reconstitute the revolutionary and proletarian Communist Party of Peru,
expelled the right opportunist elements within the Party and reconstituted the
Communist Party of Peru, led the Peruvian people in waging the great People’s
War in Peru, reigniting the lighthouse of revolution. When he was detained in
1992, the People’s War in Peru has controlled two-thirds of the whole country,
close to victory. And this war is still being fought after his detention
raising the flag of Chairman Gonzalo in Peru.
Chairman Gonzalo defended and
synthesized the qualitative all-round and universal contributions of Chairman
Mao, synthesizing it as Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the third stage of Marxism and
the most powerful weapon of the proletariat and the oppressed peoples, a weapon
that was tested in People’s Wars in both Peru and the whole world and proved as
the only correct path and closely related to Gonzalo Thought, and how to
understand and treat the relationship between this ideology and Gonzalo though
is the touchstone to test every self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist-Maoist.
“Though death befalls all men
alike, it may be weightier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.” Chairman
Gonzalo gave his life for the People’s War. He has never stopped opposing
capitalism. His death is the huge loss of the international proletariat, all
Communists of the world are mourning for him. Chairman Gonzalo taught us to not
be easily knocked down. 29 years ago the Peruvian reactionary government
humiliated Chairman Gonzalo by putting him in a cage, but Chairman Gonzalo
fired back at their humiliation with a revolutionary declaration:
“We are here in these
circumstances. Some think this is a great defeat. They are dreaming! We tell
them to keep on dreaming. It is simply a bend, nothing more, a bend in the
road. The road is long and we shall arrive. We shall triumph! You shall see
it!”
Revolutionaries must keep his
teachings in their hearts, wipe off their tears and continue the struggle,
learn and grasp Maoism, devote themselves to revolutionary practice, these are
the best way to mourn Chairman Gonzalo. Revolutionaries in China must work
even harder to carry out the urgent task of reconstituting the Maoist and
militarized Communist Party – a task that has been pending since
October 1976 – to initiate People’s War and take pack proletarian state power.
Finally, we call to boycott the ongoing electoral farce of the county-
and township-level People’s Congress that dresses up the Chinese
fascist rule and to expose the fascist nature of Chinese social-imperialism.
Chairman
Gonzalo is immortal in the revolution!
Long live
the Communist Party of Peru!
Long live
the People’s War in Peru! Long live the People’s Wars of the world!
Don’t vote,
organize for revolution!
Long live
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism! Down with revisionism! Sweep away all parasites!
