- Category: Dokumente
In the following we document the original message of the PCm Italy
to the international celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth
of Karl Marx.
dear comrades and friends
best wishes for your celebration!
best wishes for your celebration!
Marx teach us
The aim of the communists is clear and
precise: the formation of the proletariat in class, the overthrow of the
bourgeois domination, the conquest of political power by the
proletariat.
The task of the Communists is traced in
an eternal and indispensable form by the Manifesto, they “struggle to
achieve the immediate aims and interests of the working class, but in
the present movement they represent at the same time the future of the
movement itself. They work to awaken in the workers the conscience, as
clear as possible, of the hostile antagonism existing between the
bourgeoisie and the proletariat, so that the workers can convert into
direct weapons against the bourgeoisie the social and political
conditions”.
“The communists everywhere support every
revolutionary movement against the existing social and political
conditions and in all these movements stress the question of the
ownership of capital as a fundamental problem”.
“The Communists - today more than ever
teach us Marx and Engels - disdain to hide their opinions and their
intentions and openly declare that their objectives can be achieved
through the violent overthrow of the whole social order existing ...
because the proletarians they have nothing to lose but their chains and
have a world to win”.
Capitalism, analyzed by Marx, who has
become imperialism in Lenin's development, continues to go through a
profound economic crisis and unload it on the proletarians and peoples
of the world.
They speak of "recovery" but the only thing that resumes is the race for profits, wealth and armaments.
For the proletarians and the popular
masses we have unemployment, precariousness, exploitation and slavery,
poverty, robbery of raw materials and energy resources, devastation of
the environment and territories.
Against this situation, proletarians and
popular masses rebel in imperialist countries as in the countries
oppressed by imperialism.
To the rebellions of the proletarians
and the oppressed peoples, the imperialist bourgeoisie and the ruling
classes enslaved to them in the countries oppressed by imperialism,
oppose repression and massacres. States go through always more reaction
and fascism.
Proletarians and peoples resist and develop their struggles and popular wars to affirm the revolution as the main trend.
The imperialist bourgeoisies and the
reactionary states enslaved to them intensify the inter-imperialist
quarrels, unleash commercial and through a third party wars, revive the
tendency towards a new world war of division.
To the imperialist war one can only
oppose the transformation of the imperialist war into a revolutionary
civil war and the development on an international scale of popular wars.
Against the way of the revolution is
opposed within the workers' and popular movement, the path of reformism,
the path pursued by revisionists and social democrats, to reconcile
with governments and imperialist states and to favor the realization of
their plans.
In front of the crisis of reformism, social democracy and revisionism, new populist electoral forces that use reactionary demagogy to divide the masses and take them to the chariot of the ruling classes are advanced in the interest of the bourgeoisie and the imperialist states. Populism fuels fascism and neo-Nazism.

Populism fuels fascism and neo-Nazism.
Communists and avant-garde proletarians
work to turn the rebellion of the masses into a victorious revolution,
of New Democracy in the countries oppressed by imperialism marching
towards socialism, and in proletarian and socialist revolutions in
imperialist countries marching towards communism. The communists, based
on the ideas of Marx, Lenin and Mao applied to the concrete reality of
each country, build and develop new genuine revolutionary communist
parties, united fronts directed by the proletariat of all the exploited
and oppressed masses, combat forces and revolutionary and popular
armies.
Only where the masses have these instruments, their heroic and generous struggles can win.
On a world scale, the popular wars led
by the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties are the decisive and essential
strategic indication.
The people's war in India, directly
affecting one of the main bastions of imperialism and reaction in the
world, is a powerful reference point, along with popular wars in the
Philippines, Peru, Turkey. Today they concretely show the way to
overthrow the system of exploitation and oppression of imperialism and
of all reactionary reactionary forces, for the construction of a new
power and a new society.
The mlm communists must unite and
strengthen their unity, freeing the ranks of the international communist
movement from revisionist and capitulationist tendencies, without at
the same time falling into the sterility of petty bourgeois
revolutionism, of dogmatism.
The construction of the communist
parties is only possible in the fire of the class struggle in close
connection with the masses, as a function of the authentic revolutionary
struggle for power.
In the 200th anniversary of the birth of K.MARX we declare with force
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is the Marxism of our age! The essential basis for the unity of communists all over the world.
“Proletarians of all countries, Unite!” the great slogan indicated by Marx, it is the red flag of proletarian internationalism, it is the weapon for the construction of a new Communist International.

An International Conference needs for
building a new mlm international organisation, after the collapse of the
RIM. All marxist-leninist-maoist parties and organisations must be
invited, a balance and a debate must be realized, a two line struggle
must be conduct, a new unity gained.
The future of communism is in our hands.
The future of communism is in our hands.

200 Years: Speech of the Maoist Communist Party of the French State
- Category: Dokumente
In the following we document the
english translation of the speech held by the comrades of the Maoist
Communist Party of the French State to the international celebration of
the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx.
Comrades,
The Maoist Communist Party of the French
State is honored to participate in this great international celebration
for the 200 years of Karl Marx. We send our thanks to the organizers of
this day, and we send our warmest greetings to all
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist organizations of the oppressed and imperialist
countries and their heroic masses.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the
working class emerged as a class in its own right. After various
bourgeois revolutions that shook the world in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, Marx and Engels analyzed the rise of this class
and especially its historical role. They thus demonstrated that the
bourgeoisie had gone from a progressive class (through its role in the
abolition of feudalism) to a reactionary class, which could no longer be
the driving force of social progress. This revolutionary historical
role was now in the hands of the proletariat. Marx, supported by Engels,
laid the foundations for the scientific ideology of the revolutionary
proletariat. These bases are in philosophy the dialectical materialism
which constitutes the point of view of the proletariat in its analysis
of the world, with the discovery of the fundamental laws which govern
human history; in political economy the discovery of the nature of
capitalist exploitation and the contradictions of the capitalist mode of
production ; in organization, tactics and strategies of struggle of the
proletariat, the construction of the first International, the Manifesto
of the Communist Party and drawing lessons from the Paris Commune of
1871 - take political power by violent revolution and use the
dictatorship of the proletariat to achieve a classless society. This set
is what is called Marxism, the first stage of the revolutionary
ideology of the proletariat.
« The weapons used by the bourgeoisie to
defeat feudalism are now turning against itself. But the bourgeoisie
has not only forged the weapons that will put it to death: it has also
produced the men who will handle these weapons - the modern workers, the
proletarians. » Manifesto of the Communist Party.
Later, Lenin developed Marxism at a
higher stage during the experience of the revolutionary movement in
Russia and in the international struggle against revisionism. Lenin thus
analyzed the development of capitalism as being at its highest stage :
imperialism. He developed the necessity of the new-type Party, the
Communist Party, as an indispensable tool for the revolution. He then
concretely realized the dictatorship of the proletariat on the scale of
an entire country, the first proletarian revolutionary practical
experience at this level. The echo of October Revolution throughout the
world unified the struggles of the oppressed peoples and the world
proletarian revolution. The Communist International has been formed.
These developments, among others, constitute Marxism-Leninism, the seond
stage of the revolutionary ideology of the proletariat.
After Lenin's death, Stalin continued
the construction of socialism in the USSR under difficult and previously
unknown conditions and led the masses of the USSR to victory against
the Nazis in the Second World War. He has worked extensively for the
recognition of Marxism-Leninism as a revolutionary ideology of the
proletariat.
Finally, Mao Zedong, during the long
revolutionary struggle for the seizure of power in China, for the
construction of socialism, in the struggle against modern revisionism
and in the struggle against the restoration of capitalism, developed
Marxism-Leninism in a higher stage. Mao developed the three components
of Marxism - philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism.
Mao also theorized the development of
the three instruments for the success of the revolution : the Party, the
United Front and the People's Army. The Party is central and it is
always the Party that commands the rifle. Mao Zedong initiated and
directed the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution which was a great
leap forward in the exercise of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Hundreds of millions of people have risen up to overthrow capitalist
leaders who have emerged in the socialist society and who have been
particularly focused on the leadership of the Party itself (such as Liou
Chao-chi, Lin Piao and Deng Xiaoping).
Mao led the proletariat and the masses
in their confrontation with the leaders on the path of capitalism to
impose the interests, the point of view and the will of the vast
majority in all areas which, even in socialist society, had remained the
preserve of the exploiting classes and their way of thinking.
The great victories won during the
Cultural Revolution have prevented the restoration of capitalism in
China for a decade and have led to great socialist transformations in
the economic base as in education, literature and art, scientific
research and the other areas of the superstructure.
Under the leadership of Mao, the masses
have turned back the old humus that breeds capitalism - such as
bourgeois right and the three great differences between city and
country, between workers and peasants, and between intellectual work and
manual labor.
The Cultural Revolution was conducted as
an integral part of the proletariat's international struggle and was a
school of proletarian internationalism. The Communist Party of Peru has
affirmed that Maoism forms the third milestone of Marxism, it has
elevated Marxism Leninism maoism, mainly maoism as an international
ideology of proletariat. Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is a living ideology,
it is a guide for action, it is the ideology of the proletariat, making
it possible to understand society from its point of view as a class with
a view to transforming it. The development of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
parties and organizations in the world today, including in the
imperialist countries, is a testament to its timeliness, vitality and
relevance in facing the revolutionary challenge we face.
Since the 1970s, in the imperialist
countries, capitalism has undergone major resstructurations : that is
the capitalists of the dominant countries have begun to modify and
reorganize the production tool - factories, transport and companies in
general. This has led to a decline in the living conditions of workers
in general, to a stabilization of management classes and to a rapid
enrichment of the bourgeoisie, which is still more powerful. It also
depleted the proletariat and destroyed many social links, by multiplying
so-called "atypical" hours (night hours, staggered hours, Sunday work
...). There is a real desire to atomise the proletariat by
individualizing wages, dismantling large production sites to favor
subcontracting, new management techniques and precarious contracts :
breaking the class unity of the proletariat was a necessary objective
for the bourgeoisie to continue to maintain profit rate by deepening the
exploitation.
This is also paid for by the masses of
the oppressed countries, who are suffering French imperialism, ever more
violent and more aggressive at a time when inter-imperialist
contradictions are sharpening for the redistribution of the world.
The contradictions of our society are hardening : the masses are moving. There can be no oppression without resistance! That is why the Maoist Communist Party was founded : For giving the masses a fighting tool as effective as possible, to serve the people in these difficult times, to try to build a headquarters of the Revolution capable of sweeping away this system that proletarians doesn't want. Communists will, in the period that open in front of us, go into the people, learn the struggles of the proletariat and strengthen their instruments of struggle.

The actual crisis leading imperialism
to be more and more aggressive. The installation is felt both inside and
outside. Inside, a preventive counter-revolution and a militarization
of society are needed to prepare and promote the war abroad. The state
of permanent emergency is a perfect example : the rights of justice are
reduced, and those of the repressive arsenal are greatly increased.
While the war in Libya was a disaster for the Libyan people, it is now in a Syria ravaged by inter-imperialist conflict that the bourgeois government has decided to reinforce its intervention alongside Donald Trump and Theresa May. In the partition-repartition of Mashrek between rival imperialists, France isn't ready to miss its chance. In spite of course of oppressed nations, ravaged by a carpet of bombs.

Elsewhere, it was during the visit to
Burkina Fasso that the French government showed its true face. In an
oppressed country where industry, banking and services are almost
entirely owned by French capital, Emmanuel Macron behaved like a real
colonist, not hesitating to make fun of President Burkinabe Roch Kaboré
and insistent on the fact that France was going to strengthen its grip.
Faced with Burkinabe students questioning him about the presence of
French soldiers on the soil of Burkina Faso, he didn't hesitate to
answer them that they owed only respect to the French army.
France is today the third arms dealer in
the world, among these lucrative contracts concluded by French
imperialism there is for example that concluded with Saudi Arabia. In an
impassioned joke, Minister Florence Parly even allowed herself to say,
speaking of the weapons used by Saudi Arabia during the massacres in
Yemen, that "Weapons weren't made to be used." to serve. The imperialist
government does not hesitate to sell arms to the ultra-reactionary
government of Saudi Arabia, nor to the fascist government of Modi in
India, which has sent a million and a half soldiers, police and militia
to wage war against its own people and the People's War led by the
Maoist Communist Party of India. While everyone sees the tension rising
between India and its Pakistani neighbor, selling arms to an
expansionist country is criminal. The crimes of imperialism are
numerous, but we will not be able to name them all. During his visit to
India where Macron re-affirmed its proximity to the reactionary regime
of Modi, he also made the perfect sale representative of Areva by
advancing the possibility of selling nuclear reactors to India. French
imperialism is thus reinforced, as the Indian example shows, by the
exploitation of resources, as does Lafarge, but also by the trade of
nuclear reactors and Rafales, french avitation fighters.
While the Macron government, which ran
as "neither right-wing nor left-wing" in the presidential elections, was
already sowing doubt by its reactionary composition (former opponents
of marriage for all, ultra-reactionary remarks about women and
immigrants), the Macron government appears more and more as a "hard"
right showing the real Macron project that had already been widely
previewed in the presidential elections.
While the condition of proletarian women
is getting worse, with the rise of different forms of unemployment, the
more overwhelming weight of domestic chores and the increase of social
violence, which affects them mainly, no action has been taken by this
government. On the contrary, Emmanuel Macron didn't hesitate to present
himself alongside reactionary Bishops and to say to them his vows to
renew the link between Church and State. The president's racist and
paternalistic statements about the suburbs and the proletarian masses of
immigrant origin are also noteworthy. The increase in the cops power,
and the violence they inflict on the masses of working-class
neighborhoods, is clearly visible.
Finally, it's a very reactionary government who's in the head of the state : and this is normal, since the bourgeois system can not do anything more progressive, its only way of governing today is to appeal to ever more reactionary forces, hence the inexorable rise of fascism.
Finally, it's a very reactionary government who's in the head of the state : and this is normal, since the bourgeois system can not do anything more progressive, its only way of governing today is to appeal to ever more reactionary forces, hence the inexorable rise of fascism.
However, the masses don't give upand
raise their heads as for example during the rebellion of the suburbs of
2006, and the great social movements of the last year. Outside French
metropolis, in the Myotte colony, general strikes multiply. This massive
resistance is an example for us, an example for all those who want to
advance in the resistance. The economy crashes, destroying the profit of
the exploiters of the bourgeois imperialist and its comprador allies.
This resistance, which starts from the proletariat and extends into the masses, sees its opposite grow with it : the repression becomes more fierce and the fascist organized bands begin to structure themselves, to serve as the armed arm of the reactionary government - which they claim struggle against.

In this situation, the communists can
only take part in all the fighting, without ever falling into purism,
dogmatism or blind following. If the masses make mistakes and learn in
the fight, it's exactly the same for us. We first learn about these
fights. We learn that everywhere there is oppression, there is
resistance. We learn the methods of action. We also learn what are the
embryos of popular power in the masses.
The contradiction between the
imperialist system and the popular masses, between the bourgeoisie and
the proletariat, hardens, becomes ever more visible and ever more
violent ; only revolution can really change the situation of the
proletarians and all the oppressed people.
Lenin says, in The Tasks of the
Proletariat in Our Revolution, that « There is one, and only one, kind
of real internationalism, and that is—working whole-heartedly for the
development of the revolutionary movement and the revolutionary struggle
in one’s own country, and supporting (by propaganda, sympathy, and
material aid) this struggle, this, and only this, line, in every country
without exception.»
Long live Marxism Leninism Maoism, mainly Maoism!
Long live the struggle of the heroic masses!
Let's develop the three instruments of the revolution!
Long live Karl Marx!
Long live the struggle of the heroic masses!
