From Pcm Italia;
Comrades,
Our red salute to the
First Congress of the CPN-M, a salute from Italian proletariat, from the ranks
of our Party, from the struggling masses in Italy to our comrades in Nepal, to
the proletarian and revolutionary masses!
The formation of the
new Party has represented a great and important step forward for the
proletarians and people of Nepal, for the proletarian in the world and the
entire International Communist Movement.
A step that has given
new hopes to the revolutionary aspirations of the people in Nepal and has been
matter of joy for all the Maoists and revolutionaries, throughout the world,
who have been concerned by and took stand against the Prachanda/Bhattrai
attempts to liquidate the Nepalese revolution and enforce capitulation.
As your National
Convention pointed out: ”The creation of People's Liberation Army,
establishment of base areas and people's
government, role played by workers, peasants, women, indigenous nationalities and Dalits; and the awareness
developed in this whole process are some of
the major achievements we have gained.” and the formation of the CPN-M
and this Congress is a ““move forward by standing upon this base.”
Our Party, the Maoist
Communist Party of Italy, took always a strong position, first in support to
the revolutionary Left in the old Party and then to the formation of the new
Party. We wish to back to a “regular” brotherly relationship between our
Parties, two brothers parties between which can be “regular” agreement and
disagreement.
On our side, we have
to relaunch in our country and in the world the support to the Nepalese
revolution, that is going through a complex situation, since there no PW, the
PW met a setback, the Party that led it has degenerated and so today we need to
link the support to the importance of the formation of the new Party.
Definitely, this Congress helps the resumption of the international support to
the Nepalese revolution.
We look with high
interest the attention paid by your Party to the transformation of the leading
comrades in their style of life, their role, to abandon comforts and privileges
acquired in the previous phase. And in this process the Party is recovering the
best energies from the old Party.
What is important for
us is the ideological and political basis of the new Party not only in the
context of the class struggle in Nepal, but in the international arena and in
the struggle to reconstruct a new MLM international organization, after the
collapse of the RIM.
The devastations of imperialist globalisation,
wars of aggression and the devastating economic crisis of the imperialist
system and its impact on proletarians and the broad masses have awakened
worldwide a wave of struggles and revolts. In this context a potential new wave of the world proletarian revolution
develops and emerges, with the people's wars led by Maoist parties as its
reference points and strategic anchor. The realisation of this potential
ultimately depends on how successful the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties are in
fulfilling their revolutionary tasks at national and international level.
Unfortunately there has been a lag in this matter. This is severely compounded
by the crisis in the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM), which is
now defunct.
In this situation
steps need to be taken to work for the building of an effective
international MLM organization that can aid the fulfilment of revolutionary
tasks and take the collective voice of the Maoists to the proletariat and
struggling peoples. Therefore, we should move towards holding a new conference
of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties and organizations throughout the world.
This conference should take up the task of building an international
organization based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
We believe that this task must be jointly
taken up with the involvement of the Maoist parties leading people’s wars, and
all the Maoist forces, including those outside the RIM, so that the conference
will benefit from their views and experiences. In order to achieve this aim a
process of ideological, political debate must be carried out. As part of
preparation for the conference and serving its aims, we will it necessary to
organise a seminar on ‘Summation
of Experiences of RIM, ICML, and other International Initiatives.’
Through this whole process
the points of unity and differences can be identified and a relatively advanced
platform can be arrived at, to become the basis of a new international unity
concretised in a new international organisation. In the current circumstances,
the execution of this revolutionary responsibility can demonstrate a practical
expression of the internationalist communist slogan, “workers and oppressed
peoples of the world unite.”
The imperialist
system is going through the most severe crisis since the 1930s. The current
attempts to address and overcome the crisis only serve to deepen and extend it.
The crisis has its
origin in the laws of running of the capitalist system itself. It is the
expression of the limits of production for profit, and the contradiction between
productive forces and relations of production, including the general and global
nature of the production and private appropriation. In the world scene this
means an ever growing gap between the wealth of a handful of imperialist
countries and the poverty of three quarters of human beings in the countries
oppressed by imperialism, between the wealth in the hands of the bourgeoisie
and the relative and absolute impoverishment of proletarians and masses in the
imperialist countries , between the overflowing richness of a parasitic and
comprador bourgeoisie and the living conditions of misery and hunger of the
proletariat and broad masses in the countries oppressed by imperialism.
The world is
still faced with two possibilities: the exit from capitalism or a painful
temporary recovery from this crisis by strengthening, enhancing the mechanisms
of capital and thus prolonging the misery of the masses.
The imperialist
bourgeoisie all over the world take advantage of the crisis to restructure
imperialism on a global scale and save the interests of their class for their
profits.
This leads to
unloading the vicious weight of the crisis on the workers and masses. In both
the oppressed countries and imperialist countries, unemployment, job insecurity
and the cost of living increase, exploitation is ratcheted up to modern forms
of slavery, workers' rights are reduced, social achievements won through years
of struggles are erased, factories are closed with massive layoffs, peasants
are ruined and driven to suicide, cuts in social expenditures and privatization
of education and healthcare grow, the logic of commodification and profit is
extended even to primary goods, such as water, air, sun, etc.
In the countries
oppressed by imperialism, the protests, rebellions and liberation struggles
have found in the revolts in Arab countries and in the Persian Gulf a new
height and a new dawn. Young people, proletarians and the masses and, in some
cases, organized sectors of workers, attacked and overthrew dictatorial regimes
subservient to imperialism that seemed permanent. This has paved the way for
new anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, anti-feudal, new-democratic revolutions.
In this
international situation the formation of your Party and this Congress take an
even greater importance for the ICM.
The best
contribution that Nepalese communists can give to the ICM is the criticism of
prachandism . It requires a dialectical and self-critical of those have termed
as “Prachanda path”, “democracy of 21st Century” and the the CPN-M
should also assess the responsibilities for the collapse of the RIM
In spite of its positive aspects, RIM could
not fulfil the tasks it had taken up and entered a crisis. When revisionism of
Bob Avakian’s post-MLM 'new
synthesis' variety became dominant in the Revolutionary
Communist Party-USA and of the Prachanda-Bhattarai variety became dominant in
the United Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), not only did these parties
deviate from the path of revolution and communism, but the destructive and
disparaging effects of their counter-revolutionary lines negatively affected
the parties and organizations within RIM, specifically the Committee of RIM
(CoRIM), in an extensive and profound manner. These are the immediate
ideological sources that have led
to the current crisis and collapse of the RIM.
Conrades,
this Congress shows
that neither imperialims or revisionism can stop the march of the Nepalese
revolution.
This Congress shows
that nothing and nobody can stop the emerging of a potential new wave of the
WPR in Nepal and in the world.
This Congress shows
the strength of MLM and the road of PW, that is going to shine again from
Nepal.
Long live the
CPN-M!
Long live the PW!
Long live the MLM!
Long live the
proletarian internationalism!
