translation from Frente Revolucionario del Pueblo (MLM) de
Bolivia;
This
understanding of the organic need is present in the practical activity of Marx
and Engels in the Communist League and the International Workers Association
(known as the First International ) , an organization that coordinated the
political work of all Communists in different European countries , with local
sections had by working the spread of communist ideology and treatment of
specific problems from the point of view of the working class. The General
Statutes of the International Association synthesized and this need for
organization of the proletariat " in its fight against the united power of
the propertied classes , the proletariat can not act as a class rather than
constituting himself and in different political party opposed to all old political
parties created by the propertied classes "but also argued that this
constitution Party" is essential to ensure the triumph of the social
revolution " ( General Statutes of the Association ... 1871).
The
distorters of Marx have said that this is not the party organization conceived
as an organization of the most advanced and confined to the rigors and
requirements that the struggle against the reactionary state imposed upon him ,
that the conception of the Party as the vanguard of the working class is a
Leninist misrepresentation ! Marx conceived the Party as
an open and alliances
with trade unions organization. However, the reality and actual practice made by Marx and Engels refute those distortions.
Marx at the
time realized the need for conspiratorial character of the League of Communists
against the power of capital in the Circular of the Central Committee of the
League (1850 ) he fully justifies early performance in " secret meetings
and clandestine writings "also comprises the actions of militants in the
forefront of the class struggle in celebrating their participation in the first
line of workers' struggles , " on the barricades and battlefields . "
Marx 's
conception of the Party is a conception of time , ie , general conceptions of
the organization but also specific details about the nature of the organization
of the proletariat are present. There are times when you see the performance of
the class as match the overall performance of the proletariat and at other
times as the actions of the Communists , though Marx and throws light elements
on the need for secrecy of communist organizations and disciplined action of
its members .
Marx
demanded a strong organic cohesion of the Party to participate in the class
struggle and not " march trailer of the bourgeoisie" instead argued
that workers must establish , on a par with legal organizations , secret
sections of the Party to act independently of bourgeois influence (Marx ,
Circular of the Central Committee ... 1850)
All this
thinking is exhibited in the work of the League of Communists through circulars
and publication of the Communist Manifesto , as well as the resolutions of the
International Working Men's Association on the political action of the working
class that Marx and Engels worked hard .
Apart from
the characteristics of political and organizational management , Marx and
Engels laid the foundations for the vanguard party . In the Manifesto of the
Communist Party defined the action of the Communists within the proletariat in
general, " the Communists are therefore practically more determined the
hand, pushes forward for all workers' parties of the world " that defines
the character vanguard of the communist organization , the role of advanced
highlighting Marx militants League and this is due to the theoretical
conception held by communists, Marx clearly says "theoretically [
Communists ] , to take advantage the great mass of the proletariat the clear
view of the conditions , and the ultimate results that must the proletarian
movement " (Marx and Engels , Manifesto , 1840). The Communists are for
Marx the conscious element which has the working class, the proletariat in
general as usually differentiate the Communists are part of that class but are
the most advanced , the proletariat alone is not obtained consciousness but
through his art , is not a group of "enlightened " as often petty
adocenado replica Marxists , Marx is explicit in saying that the theoretical
positions of the Communists forged or rest on principles discovered by any
redeemer of mankind, but that this view is " widespread expression of the
material terms of a struggle of real and vivid Role of a historical movement
that is developing at the sight of all " , yet also notes that the immediate
aim of the Communists is " form the class consciousness of the
proletariat."
In all this
thinking about Lenin 's conception of the party is anchored in reality Marx
laid the foundations on which the Leninist theory of the party rises.
Another key
element in the conception of Marx about the actions of the working class and
its party 's ideological independence . Marx always demanded that independence
, especially when the party of the working class loses cohesion to engage in
the economic struggles of the democratic movement . Marx's always requires the
game not to lose sight of the strategic objective for which it was created , to
raise the proletariat in general to engage in the struggle against the
political power of the ruling classes , that is, always keep in mind the
political struggle for power and not get lost in the economic struggle , the
struggle for demands to link the struggle for political power . At times Marx
explicitly states the rejection of alliances with other parties or
organizations that could subordinate the goals of the proletariat to the
bourgeoisie.
Marx is very
enlightening us just at the moment when the Bolivian Marxists and pseudo
reformism and opportunism embarked on the project of Evo Morales attempt to
present the thought of Marx and within that contradiction medley called
"government of social movements " . Marx never conceived the project
of a new society without the leadership of the proletariat , precisely because
his vision of a new society based on social scientific analysis is the project
of the proletariat and the dictatorship. Marx also put the proletariat to tow
other classes (as suggested by the vision of a "government of social
movements " ) , even within the popular movement with the petty
bourgeoisie, Marx always demanded the political and ideological independence
and fight for the direction , much less raised class conciliation with "
national business sectors " as usually speak when Morales government
throws its "inclusive " concept (which is nothing but bourgeois liberal
conception ) , let alone Marx political action the proletariat to expect some
spontaneity as " Marxists" linked to " change process" or
the leaders themselves permanently when they criticize the regime of
"political " actions of the sectors of the popular movement , in fact
Marx was always concerned with the proletariat and his party not to lose sight
of the ultimate goal of the conquest of political power and it was necessary to
be clear at the outset that the economic struggles should be subordinated to
the political objective of the working class
The entire
battery of theoretical conceptions of the regime of Evo Morales and the
revisionists argue that arch is designed to conceal the class nature of his
regime and keep the level of disorganized and spontaneous popular movement
struggles to manipulate corporately. Lack of awareness in the character of the
struggle of the popular movement , which many MAS complain is not just the
responsibility of the neoliberal period , but it is because the regime MAS has
prefacing, from their political needs, opportunistic practice and dealer of
many popular leaders .
Returning to
the thought of Marx , the primordial conspiracy and art duties assigned to the
Party can not fit into an organization of union and open social alliances
because such an organization could not fulfill the role of ending the old
bourgeois society , the thought of Marx is off the frontage claims of armed and
unarmed revisionism and extremely out of horizontalists conceptions small
academic bourgeoisie pass intended Marxist.
The
conception of Marx and Engels and the Communist Party is that they , out of the
ranks of the proletariat or assuming this ideology are the most advanced and
conscious element, the party of the proletariat and the proletariat in general
do not differ when defend the same general interests , but differ in the sense
that they represent a sector of the proletariat and the sector is its element
edge and are tasked with raising the consciousness of the working class as a whole
in their struggle for political power.
Marx and
Engels did not circumscribed the struggle for political power in electoral
participation , in fact Marxism in its foundation opposes the electoral method
as a strategy to seize power and Marx was quite clear about it in different
works, particularly in the 18 Brumaire. This is seen even in the prologue of
Engels to Class Struggle in France, where , despite noted as correct
participation German Social Democratic Labor Party in elections to the
circumstances that the European working class lived and particularly after the
French the defeat of the Paris Commune , clarifies that this serves only to
muster the forces of the proletariat and propagandize the agenda of the working
class , but revolutionary violence will have to catch up sooner or later.
Actually
another fundamental tasks conceived by Marx for the party of the proletariat is
the revolution that dispute the political power of the bourgeoisie and that
occurs, according to the thinking of the founders of scientific communism ,
through revolutionary violence , not otherwise. Marx conceived that to ensure
the victory of the proletariat must proceed to the general arming of the people
, " the arming of the entire proletariat with rifles , guns and ammunition"
to "prevent the resurgence of the old bourgeois militia." These were
initial sketches on the exercise of the violence and dictatorship raised even
before the experience of the Paris Commune, and showing us that Marx had no
illusions in bourgeois parliamentarism.
Relocating
the political thought of Marx and Engels to our context (the " process of
change " qualified pompous and demagoguery of "revolutionary" )
it certainly remains subversive and dangerous. The Morales regime , despite the
hypocritical verbiage of sympathizing with communists , socialists and declared
in favor of something that does not understand ( Marxism -Leninism ) , no doubt
apply repressive violence the popular movement and the progressive sectors with
lackluster display of their officers run .
The thought
of the founders of Marxism on the Communist Party be synthesized at the stage
of the proletarian revolution with Lenin who developed the theory of the Party
and the application in the first victorious proletarian revolution of the
twentieth century.
