ITALIA: Message of PCm-Italy to TKP/ML for the 50th anniversary

 

Dear comrades,

Please receive our proletarian, red and internationalist salute to the 50th anniversary of the TKP/ML.

Turkey is one of the main countries in the world, an important ring of three contradictions -the contradiction between bourgeoisie and proletariat, the contradiction between imperialism and oppressed peoples and the inter-imperialist contradiction- that mark the capitalist mode of production in the epoch of imperialism and the proletarian revolution as defined by Lenin. It is a potential weak link in the world imperialist chain, and therefore, great hopes of the world proletarian revolution are entrusted to the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat and the people’s masses in Turkey.

Today it means that high hopes are entrusted to the role of the TKP/ML, as proletarian vanguard and central nucleus of the struggle of all the people of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan.

In this current era, with the foundation of Party led by comrade Ibraim Kaypakaya in 1972, in the wake of the struggle against revisionism and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the historical role of the TKP/ML marked a new beginning.

50 years of its history are 50 years of fight, 50 years of martyrs for the revolution, 50 years of political and war prisoners locked up in the black prisons of the regimes servant of imperialism in Turkey, up to Erdogan’s fascist regime today.

We always appreciated the Marxist-Leninist history of your Party, and then the adoption of Maoism, as the third and current stage of the only revolutionary science produced by the proletariat, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

Your Party has defined in its recent Congress the goal of the New Democratic Revolution and the strategy of the protracted people's war.

We think, comrades, that this path and this strategy must be deepened in analysis, theory and practice in the light of the structural changes that have occurred in the world, in your country and in the region where Turkey plays a fundamental role in the interest of the Turkish bourgeoisie and imperialism.

50 years not only of continuity but also of changes and adjustments to the tasks of the proletariat and the oppressed masses of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan.

The great heritage of Marxism helps and guides us in this, the relevance of Leninism and the historical experience of the Third International are still the essential basis of the nature of the Party, its Bolshevization, its relationship between strategy and tactics.

The Maoist definitions of the three instruments and the stages of the protracted people's war ultimately enlighten the relationship between the saying and the doing of the Turkish revolution and its role in the world proletarian revolution.

We appreciate the two lines struggle emerged in your Party around the events of the Turkish liberation movement. While it has brought a painful split in the ranks of the Turkish communist movement, it also brought a valuable contribution to the struggle against revisionism, the social democratic variant represented by Ocalan and liquidationism of the leadership of the Turkish proletariat and communists in the revolution that will win power for the proletariat and the national and social liberation for the Turkish people.

This 50th occurs in the middle of the deepening crisis of imperialism worsened by the pandemic and translated into the sharpening of the inter-imperialist contradictions that broke out with the invasion of Ukraine by Russian imperialists.

Turkey stays the heart of this event, because of the geographical proximity and the role the Turkish regime is playing in it. That is why the orientation and political and practical action of the Turkish communists in this context is fundamental, especially on two fundamental issues: on the one hand, the autonomy of the proletarians and peoples with respect to all imperialists in war and, on the other hand, the fight against the main enemy, the US/NATO imperialism, the support for the genuine resistance of the Ukrainian proletarians and masses to the imperialist invasion and against any attempt to make Ukraine a pawn and an outpost of the inter-imperialist war, as desired by the representative of the Ukrainian oligarchy, the Zelensky government, inextricably linked to the historical and current neo-Nazism.

The 50th anniversary falls in a time when all the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist forces, Parties and Organizations must unite to carry out together the international and national tasks of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist communist movement; they must unite on two fundamental issues: a unity based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the uncompromising struggles against revisionism and, as a secondary enemy, against the ideological and purely propagandist sectarian petty bourgeois currents that use Maoism as a weapon of division from Marxism-Leninism, from the relationship between communists, proletariat and masses, practicing the fractionism.

We think that the Turkish Marxist-Leninist-Maoist communists, together with the Parties which currently lead people's wars, first and foremost the Communist Party of India (Maoist), have a great role to play in uniting what someone try to divide, in affirming the path of protracted people's war and proletarian revolution.

Comrades,

the relationship between our Party in Italy and your Party is and will be more and more solid, albeit in an atmosphere of frankness on issues on which we may still have different positions. We think we have a lot to learn from the ideological, theoretical and political history of the Turkish communists. And, at the same time, we put at your service our historical experience that comes from afar, the contribution of Antonio Gramsci, the Partito Comunista and the great epic of the anti-fascist resistance in Italy, our tenacity and hard battle since the 70s for a new Communist party that will be an advanced detachment of the working class and lead its daily and general struggles in function of the class and revolutionary war for the proletarian power, the dictatorship of the proletariat in an imperialist country which, in the historical epoch, would be a strategic outpost of the world proletarian revolution.




LONG LIVE THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF TKP/ML!

LONG LIVE IBRAHIM KAYPAKAYA!

LONG LIVE MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM!

LONG LIVE UNITY BETWEEN TKP/ML AND PCm ITALIA AT THE SERVICE OF THE UNITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST MOVEMENT!

LONG LIVE PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM!
