SUIZA: The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Switzerland (Red Faction) adheres to the joint international statement, "Let's Develop ..' and a note for debate


The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Switzerland (Red Faction) adheres to the joint international statement, "Let's Develop the Revolutionary Struggle Against the Imperialist War Preparations!", and wishes to be added to the list of signatories, with the following reservation that it wishes to have published as a note to the statement:

"It is the position of the Communist Party of Switzerland (Red Faction) that the principal contradiction in Ukraine today is between Russian imperialism and the Ukrainian nation, although the inter-imperialist contradiction plays an important secondary role. The Russo-Ukrainian War should therefore not be understood principally as a proxy war between two imperialist superpowers, but as Ukraine's war of national liberation against the Russian war of aggression. The Kyiv regime currently wages this war of national liberation due to it representing the pro-Western faction of the Ukrainian big bourgeoisie, while the pro-Russian faction supports capitulation to Russia, and Kyiv should be supported on this basis. This is in no way different from the support given to the Nationalist regime in China by Comrade Mao Zedong during the War of Resistance Against Japan, when the pro-Japanese faction of the Chinese big bourgeoisie, as represented by Wang Jingwei, capitulated to Japan, and the pro-Western faction, as represented by Jiang Jieshi, resisted Japan to a certain point. Mao pointed out:

"The Chinese big bourgeoisie, which is comprador in character, is a class which directly serves imperialism and is fostered by it. Hence the comprador Chinese big bourgeoisie has always been a target of the revolution. However, different groups within this big bourgeoisie are backed by different imperialist powers, so that when contradictions among these powers become sharper and when the edge of the revolution is mainly directed against a particular power, the big bourgeois groups dependent upon the other powers may join the struggle against that particular imperialist power to a certain extent and for a certain time. At such times, in order to weaken the enemy and add to its own reserves, the Chinese

proletariat may form a united front with these groups and should maintain it as far as possible, provided it is advantageous to the revolution." (Introducing "The Communist")

Likewise, we should keep in mind the position taken by Lenin in relation to the German imperialist occupation of Belgium during the First World War, that if this invasion had not taken place in the context of an imperialist world war, a war against Germany should have been supported by the Communists, even though Belgium was itself an imperialist country:

"The German imperialists shamelessly violated the neutrality of Belgium, as belligerent States have done always and everywhere, trampling upon all treaties and obligations if necessary. Let us suppose that ALL the States interested in the observation of international treaties declared war on Germany with the demand for the liberation and indemnification of Belgium. In such a case, the sympathies of Socialists would, of course, be on the side of Germany's enemies." (Socialism and War)

With this in mind, it is the position of our Party that in spite of the pro-Western sub-contractor (bureaucrat-comprador) character of the Kyiv regime, it should be supported to the point that it acts in accordance with the wish of the Ukrainian nation to remain independent, but not to the point that it acts in accordance with the interests of US imperialism and the rest of the Western imperialist bloc.

Moreover, our Party disagrees with the claim that there are currently ongoing people's wars in Peru and Turkey, but this is not the time nor the place to discuss these problems in detail. We shall simply state that we are in agreement with the following statement already made by the Maoist Communist Party of Italy on the point of Peru:

"Being the comrades of IC severely affected by subjectivism and idealism, they accuse us for wanting to 'eliminate with a stroke of the pen' the People’s War in Peru. For the comrades, what exists in their minds also exists in reality and not vice versa. If it is possible to have news of armed actions and in general of the People’s Wars in India, the Philippines and Turkey and of the parties that lead them, for some years now there has been no news of the actual existence of the People’s War in Peru or of the Communist Party of Peru. The desire of every revolutionary that a defeat never happened in Peru (as well as in Nepal) cannot replace the harsh reality of the facts. We cannot uphold something that does not exist, this is dialectical materialism, comrades, deal with it! What is useful to the ICM, as Marxism (Marx in particular) teaches us, is, on the one hand, to understand the defeat and, on the other hand, to start over even when everything seems lost (as Gramsci said). We wish that the revolutionaries in Peru refound the Communist Party of Peru and resume the path of the People’s War, strengthened by experience and having assimilated the positive experiences and taking stock of the temporary defeat of the People’s War.

This is evident for any coherent MLM, but perhaps the fraction of IC has an interest in 'keeping artificially alive' the People’s War in Peru for their own purposes and being trafficker with a People’s War that does not exist and with a Communist Party of Peru whose sources have been unknown for years, in order to attribute a certain authority to themselves, establishing an erroneous equivalence between a generated organism now devoid of any authority (the so-called MPP) and the generating organism and 'transforming' the first into the second with the same mystifying method with which their 'criticisms' are written."

As for Turkey, our Party's position in support of the reconstituted Maoist Communist Party of Turkey/Northern Kurdistan is well known, and needs not be elaborated at this point.

Finally, we greet the Parties and organizations that have taken the initiative in issuing this and other joint international statements, in launching the international magazine "Two-Line Struggle", and in particular in mobilizing for the international campaigns and days of action, under the guidance of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), the world's foremost Communist Party today. These statements and actions are concrete steps toward the construction of genuine unity between the Marxist-Leninist-Maoists of the world, not sham unity, and toward the formation of the International Communist Forum which the Indian comrades have long advocated and which our Party has consistently supported.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the adoption of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism as the ideology of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, following the ten-year campaign launched by the Communist Party of Peru to impose Maoism in the international Communist movement. This is a great occasion for the genuine Communists of the world once again to unite in a single international centre for discussion and the coordination of joint statements and actions, an International Communist Forum guided by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and based on Communist Parties waging or preparing to wage revolutionary war, and not a splitter "International Communist League" that serves nothing but to further disintegrate the already fragile international Communist movement.

UNITE UNDER MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM! DOWN WITH DOGMATO-REVISIONISM!"
