From the Communist
Party of Ecuador- Red Sun:
All of Latin
America is full of dry firewood, which will soon burn in a great
flare
"Thus, if we
subject ourselves to Marxism-Leninism- Mao Tsetung Thought [today,
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism] and from it we analyze the concrete reality of the
Peruvian revolution, we must conclude that we are living in a developing
revolutionary situation and, consequently, all political strategy, tactics and
action must start from such recognition, otherwise we will be seriously
wrong. In short, the class struggle today and in its perspective, the
antagonistic contest between revolution and counterrevolution, can only be seen
accurately and correctly and firmly and decisively applied if it starts from
recognizing the existence of a revolutionary situation in development;"
(President Gonzalo
doc: Let's Develop the Growing Popular Protest, 1979 )
We express our greetings and proletarian internationalist
solidarity to the proletariat and the masses of the people of Ecuador and the
people of Chile who, with their heroic days of struggle and as part of the
peoples of Latin America, fight for the defense of their rights, freedoms,
conquests and benefits achieved in a hard fight against the exploiters and
their apparatus of repression the old State, organized violence of large
bourgeois and landowners in the service of imperialism, mainly Yankee, are
crying out for the leadership of the militarized Communist Party to rise in
powerful revolution of new democracy to sweeping the old society of
exploitation and oppression and the old state that maintains and defends it
with people's war. For the culmination of the democratic revolution, move
immediately and uninterruptedly to socialism and continue with proletarian
cultural revolutions until reaching the golden communism.

the culmination of the democratic revolution, move immediately and

until reaching the golden communism.
We extend this greeting and solidarity to the proletariat
and the masses of all the peoples of Latin America who, with their struggles,
are expressing the need to rise in powerful rebellion under the direction of
their militarized Communist Party, Communist Party, Marxist-Leninist-Maoist,
which applying The universal validity contributions of President Gonzalo
initiate and develop the people's war to sweep away imperialism, semi-feudalism
and bureaucratic capitalism that devour and oppress us, following the path of
encircling the cities from the countryside and establishing the new Power.
We consider it necessary to start from a brief analysis of
the development of the revolutionary situation in Latin America, which is
expressed in the mobilizations, protests and uprisings of the popular masses,
such as the latest popular resistance uprisings in Chile and Ecuador and see
the peculiarities of the latter and others produced in this last decade with
respect to the previous ones, that is, from the end of the 80s of the previous
century until the first decade of the present, in order to take the corresponding
lessons and reaffirm the pending task of the Communist Party To start the
people's war.
To address it, it is necessary to start from some
considerations, such as: The general crisis of imperialism, of Yankee
imperialism mainly, because it is the main one that dominates us, is discharged
not only on the backs of the United States proletariat itself, but largely in
our countries because of its semicolonial and semi-feudal condition on which
bureaucratic capitalism unfolds. As President Mao Tse Tung pointed
out: Imperialism shatters more and more the oppressed nations which
rise in powerful revolutionary storms and must be led by their communist
parties.
Since the end of the 80s and throughout the nineties of the
last century we have been witnessing the deepening of the semicolonial
situation of our countries with the application of the "Washington consensus", its so-called
"neoliberalism" with "privatizations" and
"deregulation" accompanied by the "bundles" of
anti-popular economic measures.
During all these years, unevenly, in different countries of
the continent such as Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia,
Chile, Haiti etc. according to the development of the objective and
subjective conditions a strong movement of protest and dissatisfaction of the
masses against the old State, its reactionary governments, legal parties and
institutions develops, arriving in some cases with large uprisings and popular
waves of resistance by the defense of rights and conquests reached in hard days
of struggle throughout the last century. These movements were
characterized almost without exception for being spontaneous city surveys to
which the peasantry was folded.
From the above, we live a revolutionary situation in uneven
development in the world and in Latin America ,
this is being expressed clearly in the growing popular protests and movements
of the masses, what corresponds? Forge a revolutionary leadership as a
subjective condition for the revolution, the militarized Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
Communist Party, to destroy the three mountains that oppress us (imperialism,
semi-feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism) with people's war.
Without the leadership of the proletariat through its
Communist Party, the struggle of the peasantry for land, the main problem of
the democratic revolution, in most cases did not pass
local or regional boundaries. These movements could not lead to the
uprising of the peasantry as the main force of the revolution to follow the
path of fencing the cities from the countryside. As the masses are sand of
contest not only between revolution and counterrevolution, but also sand of
reactionary contest; Since the mobilization of the masses was not taken
advantage of to organize them scientifically under the leadership of the
revolutionary party, all kinds of opportunists and reactionaries were mounted
on their struggles to serve the interests of the old state.
Well, as always, opportunists and revisionists from all over
Laya mounted the just protests of the angry masses to divert them with their
calls for "dialogue" and "negotiation" and
"constituent" for a new restructuring of the old state in Chile , Ecuador ,
Bolivia ,
etc. With the service of these traitors, the fruits of the popular
movements were capitalized by one of the two factions of the great bourgeoisie
(buyer and bureaucratic) and groups in which these are divided to settle their
disputes and restructure the old State by centralizing more Power in the
Executive to, among other, repress the revolution that is in
gestation giving rise to fascist-corporate governments in some of these
countries, while in others the reactionary demo-bourgeois regime was maintained
centralizing Power in the President or the Executive (presidential or Executive
absolutism).
Thus, in the two decades prior to the present one, which is
already ending, a series of reactionary governments fall mainly from the buying
faction and others from the same faction and, in less cases, from the
bureaucratic faction, in some cases headed for opportunism These
governments, despite their differences or reectionary nuances, will apply
without exception and under the supervision of the World Bank (WB) the
complementary part of the “neoliberal structural reforms”, the so-called
“second wave of reforms” with the “non-remunerative aid ”, Which are applied
from Mexico through Brazil to Argentina and Chile, that is, from the south of
the Rio Grande to Patagonia. These "aid" to fight poverty are to
justify the greater looting of natural wealth,
The governments of the bureaucratic faction, as lacaya
of imperialism as the buyer, presented the redoubled imperialist exploitation
over our countries in Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia, etc: growth of
direct imperialist investment (FDI), of foreign debt (converted in the 90s in
"sovereign debt") and the looting of our natural wealth, renamed
"neo-extractive", with some nuances of economic policy, such as a
"nationalist policy", "anti-imperialist" and in some cases
as "Socialism of the 21st century. ” These, were put at the service
of the Yankee plan, of the unique hegemonic superpower, which led to the
unprecedented growth of financial speculation and global indebtedness, of
the export of capital mainly to China
and Third World countries as direct foreign
investment through its subsidiaries, trade in intermediate goods and
commodities. Incorporating all these countries to the authority of the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) ,
under the hegemony of Yankee imperialism.
But, in Latin American countries not only was the greatest
dominance and submission of mainly Yankee imperialism over all of them, but
these countries also opened up to the greater penetration of the other
imperialist powers such as Germany, Spain, France, Russia, Japan,
social-imperialist China, etc. Sharpening the inter-imperialist struggle
for these countries. And, as it had to be, a new imperialist crisis
happened, that of 2007-2008, the worst of imperialism, a crisis that they still
cannot get out of, they are trapped and 2002 and 2020 this will become more
acute, they are entering a new crisis General of unforeseeable consequences. With
the global crisis, the boom in commodity prices ended and the rates of poverty,
unemployment, malnutrition with the growth of "inequality" increased
again.
Imperialism, mainly Yankee, persists in its infamous
objective of being the only hegemonic superpower in the world, develops its
plan by dividing the world into six Military Commands, Latin America has been
incorporated, a part, within the scope of the Northern Command that covers
Mexico, and another part, from the southern border of Mexico down by the US
Southern Command. New role of the Latin American army in the internal
tasks of repression, in the war against the people. Greater Yankee
imperialist intervention against our countries: in Peru since 1992
("Fujimori autogolpe"), Yankee imperialism directly led the
counterrevolutionary war with its so-called "low intensity war"
against the people's war; Military intervention in Mexico (Puebla-Panama
Plan and Merida Plan), in Colombia and neighboring countries with the
Colombia Plan; deployment of its system of military bases in South America
that continues until now, and commissioning of the IV Fleet of the USA, to control
from Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Aggression of
Yankee imperialism against Venezuela
in the form of a “low intensity war” since January 2018 and which points
against the development of the revolution in Brazil . These are some facts
that we mention for their involvement in the development of the objective
situation. Aggression of Yankee imperialism against Venezuela in the form of a “low intensity war”
since January 2018 and which points against the development of the revolution
in Brazil . These
are some facts that we mention for their involvement in the development of the
objective situation.
The deepening of the semi-colonial situation of the
countries of Latin America produced a greater
and longer impact of the world imperialist crisis. Throughout this decade,
the situation of the old society in these countries was aggravated, which
during the previous two decades had lived excited by the illusion of
"modernization", by the auction of what the State had accumulated in
decades and for the high prices of raw materials or commodities in
the world market, growth whose benefits as always were a handful of large
national and foreign bourgeois; but after this "boom", the true
national development was absent, all these societies "remained as backward
and unequal as before" as has been aired in the reactionary elections in
Bolivia of Morales-García. The semicolonial and semi-feudal society where
bureaucratic capitalism develops was maintained by inertia (the old
refuses to die) and the force of arms.
Consequently, in this decade there is a greater
decomposition of the old State that supports and defends it. Political
crisis of reactionary regimes, of both factions, including those headed by
opportunism. Regimes aupados in the government to administer the old
States in conditions of certain fiscal bonanza ("drip") which allowed
them to manipulate the masses and apply corporatism and clientelism to contain
them using the "social programs" as in Brazil with the reactionary
government headed by Lula and the PT.
The worsening of the general crisis of imperialism leads to
bureaucratic faction governments such as Maduro's in Venezuela, entering into
contradiction with imperialism, since it, in order to increase its super-profits
in the face of the crisis, needs to “privatize” the assets of the large state
enterprises that remained as such and pursued a greater "economic
opening" of the countries under bureaucratic governments. That is why
in these countries, the contest between the reactionary factions for the
control of the Executive was intensified. Always under the control of the
great puppeteer, Yankee imperialism, and the reactionary armed forces as
arbitrators of the situation.
In the second decade of this century that is about to end,
as the crisis of bureaucratic capitalism in Latin America returns, fiscal
adjustment policies return, with a cut in rights and benefits pensions, with
worsening employment and wages, with the decrease in “aid” and subsidize. The
"packs" and the protest and resistance of the popular masses as their
counterpart are back. The reaction fuels the revolution.
This period is common, "solve their crises" with
"changes of government" or "change of horses in the old
land-bureaucratic state", all faithful representatives and in the service
of imperialism, mainly Yankee. Or as we have seen recently in Ecuador,
with a reactionary way out of maintaining the current government through
“dialogue” with the so-called “social movements”, under the direction of
opportunists, reformists and revisionists who and as always were assembled to
divide and demobilize the masses in exchange for leaving without effect the
most anti-popular measure of the "package", the "gasoline"
among others. The issues of people's rights, freedoms, conquests and
benefits and claims of the proletariat and the people of Ecuador have
not been resolved because these reactionaries will never solve it.
Crisis of the old society, crisis of bureaucratic capitalism
and crisis of the old land-bureaucratic state, which defends and sustains it. Crisis
of parliament and all demo-bourgeois institutions. Submission of the other
powers to the Executive with the endorsement and support of the reactionary
armed forces and the bureaucratic apparatus of the State. The reactionary
process of the old state inevitably leads us to fascism, it comes from the
twentieth century. Is this calm? It will never be calm, it is a hard
struggle between the factions and groups of the great bourgeoisie. President
Gonzalo in the II Plenary says; To see the new fascism, it is very
important to deepen the study and the fundamentals that exist in “comments
about the coup of 92” both in the buying bourgeoisie and in the bureaucratic
bourgeoisie.
Circle of fire of the exploitation and oppression of the
three mountains on the masses of workers, peasants and petty bourgeoisie and of
the national bourgeoisie facing greater ruin. Masses, that fight to
conserve the won in hard class struggle and not to pauperize more with the new
crisis, swings that will be repeated cyclically in this prevailing system and
that only the invincible People's War can sweep. Resistance of the masses
against the famous "reforms and economic and labor adjustments"
measures of reactionary governments that seek to unload the serious crisis of
this obsolete system of exploitation and oppression on the backs of the masses,
both the countryside and the city, This crisis sharpens the contradiction of
the popular masses - reactionary government. Expression of the sharpening
of the contradictions of the old society:
Sharpening of all contradictions. New period of rise of
the movements and struggles of the popular masses, which in this decade is
showing a distinctive character of all previous cycles of the waves of popular
protests as part of the new great wave of the World Proletarian Revolution. Distinctive
character, which shows the maturation of the subjective conditions of the
revolution, the heroic combatant who is to lead the revolution is entering the
scene. The road opened with the beginning of the people's war in Peru on
May 17, 1980, showing the full validity and power of Maoism as a new, third and
superior stage of Marxism, and the universality and invincibility of the
people's war, it is a torch that illuminates the way forward for the
international proletariat and oppressed peoples and nations of Latin America
and the world. The Communist Parties and Revolutionary Organizations of
Latin America raise, defend and apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to the concrete
conditions of each of their countries with the contributions of universal
validity of President Gonzalo.
The distinctive character of the protests and popular
uprisings has been established in the great protests of the masses in 2013-2014
that pushed the bankruptcy of the administration of the old Brazilian State
by the PT until the current protests going through the massive boycott of the
Last year for the replacement elections of authorities of the old Brazilian State
In a few days the masses of Ecuador
and Chile
have broken into a true typhoon, shaking the entire old order of oppression,
faced and still fight and resist heroism to the hordes of reaction. The
Maoists in these countries are boldly launching themselves into popular combat
in the front rows, striving to direct the action of the fighting masses,
educating them in revolutionary violence and in the irreconcilable struggle
against opportunism, conquering important victories for the class and the
people, developing the growing popular protest, promoting the revolution of new
democracy and the process of reconstitution or constitution of the militarized
communist parties and the preparation of the beginning of more and more popular
wars until conquering power for the proletariat and the people,
In Chile ,
the Pinirera archireacionário government declared curfew, the first time since
the Pinochet fascist, and openly declared that it was a war against the people. Faced
with reactionary terror, the masses do not stop for a minute, they are running
over the old opportunist directions and setting the entire old order of
oppression on fire.
In Ecuador, unlike the popular uprisings of the 90s and the
first decade of this century, the latter that has lasted more than 12 days and
has ended up like the previous ones, under the direction of opportunists and
reformists, with the capitulation, these have sold the rebellion of the masses
for a plate of lentils, that is to say accepting the reactionary measures
against salary, outsourcing, rights cuts and others in exchange for giving up
the increases in gasoline, it also has that character distinctive as indicated
in the case of Brazil, that is, the communists against the opportunist
leaderships that were mounted on the just struggle of the masses have struggled
to direct and apply to educate the masses in revolutionary violence and the
struggle to Death against revisionism.
In the struggle for the leadership of the broad popular
uprising, the communists of both Ecuador
and Chile
fight, politicize and mobilize decisively and applying the just and correct
proletarian line in favor of the mainly poor peasantry of the regions. These,
due to the correct working style of the revolutionaries, have made an important
leap and advance, linked to the proletariat represented by the Communist Party,
thus forging the workers-peasant alliance in the events and it was there that
the popular uprising showed its most combative character and advanced.
The communists in Ecuador
and Chile ,
who struggle for the reconstitution of the Party in hard class struggle and
striving to lead the masses in the same course of action, are gaining powerful
links with the mobilized masses and improving conditions for the development of
the instruments of the revolution, mainly of the New Type Party, a militarized
Communist Party. Here too, the revolution, the democratic path, having as
its axis the proletariat under the leadership of its Party, advances in its
reconstitution, marches to develop the growing popular protest, we live a
revolutionary situation in uneven development and the advance of the
revolution, of the The democratic path is part of the New Great Wave of the
World Proletarian Revolution commanded by Maoism.
In this new period of ascent of the popular liberation
movement and which opens the way to great popular mobilizations in June 2013-14
in Brazil against the opportunist government of the PT, in Ecuador with those
initiated in 2014-15 against the government of Correa and its continuation
against the current government of Moreno, those of Mexico in recent years and
the most recent in Chile, have a characteristic that differentiates them from
all previous ones and this is the maturation of the subjective conditions of
the revolution. That is to say, that in some cases, the development of the
democratic path opposite to the bureaucratic path of the big bourgeois and
landowners develops the growing popular protest and is directed to the overflow
in function of initiating the people's war and developing it until communism, to
join with the popular wars already started as in Peru, India, the Philippines,
Turkey. Following President Mao Tse Tung we say: All of Latin America
is full of dry firewood, which will soon burn in a great flare .
The question raised by this situation is to develop as a
shock task the task of the culmination of the reconstitution of the Communist
Party, according to the specific conditions of each country, to develop the
revolution, the democratic path, whose axis is the proletariat under the
direction of its Communist Party militarized to point to popular overflow,
that is, to the development of the mass struggle that goes beyond what the
reactionary state ordinance allows; all in function of initiating the
people's war, that following the path of surrounding the cities from the
countryside destroys the old order and build the new Power, the joint
dictatorship of the revolutionary classes under the leadership of the
militarized Communist Party, with popular committees and revolutionary support
bases destroying part of the old land-bureaucratic state in order to conquer
power throughout the country and establish the People's Republic in each of our
countries and move without interruption to develop the socialist revolution
under the dictatorship of the proletariat and with successive proletarian
cultural revolutions reach our goal,
Put Maoism as command and guide of the World Proletarian
Revolution!
To constitute or reconstitute Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
Communist Parties militarized!
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism with the universal
validity contributions of President Gonzalo!
Down with the imperialist war!
Long live the invincibility of the People's War!
Fight imperialism, revisionism and reaction indescribably
and relentlessly!
Honor and glory to the heroes of the people of Latin America !
