Discard the illusions and launch into the fight!



We already knew, we already felt it body and soul, that this old world is nothing more than hell for the international proletariat and the peoples of the world. We already knew it, how in recent months it has been shown, even the most stupid dumb ass who played blind, has seen   all illusions about this world imperialist system fall to pieces, disappear like smoke.

The misnamed "Corona-Crisis" that is fattened mostly with the poorest and the weakest, is the result of decades of systematic and progressive abandonment of the public health systems of the masses, of prevention and preparation for cases of calamity, even though each new pandemic heralded a worse one, on the part of the old imperialist states and the states of bureaucratic capitalism in application of their plans of "privatization" to focus on profit. This is why: hospitals without the capacity to care for patients during epidemics and emergencies, the lack of health personnel and instruments, equipment and supplies for these cases; the lack of interest and delay in the research and development of new vaccines and drugs to combat epidemics that affect the survival of the world's great masses; that is why the early warning systems did not work and when the corova-virus 19 was already attacking in China in November 2019, neither in this country nor in the United States, Spain, Italy and in no other did immediate measures be taken to "not harm the economy. " This is the summarized chronicle of the “crown-crisis”, a crisis announced within the general crisis of imperialism. “Corona-crisis” which is, fundamentally, the catalyst and the first phase of a new world economic crisis, a crisis of capitalist overproduction, which was also announced by financial capital economists themselves for a long time, drastically accentuated for the use made by reactionary governments throughout the world of the COVID-19 pandemic - mainly the Yankee imperialist superpower, the atomic superpower Russia and the great imperialist powers - further exacerbated by the cynical competition between them. Crisis that  it leads to the destruction of productive forces in a way not seen since World War II, amid an avalanche of anti-worker and anti-popular measures by reactionary governments "legitimizing" them as necessary for the fight against the pandemic, the result of the political management of the imperialists, reactionaries and revisionists, which has allowed the expansion of the COVID-19 epidemic to become the COVID-19 pandemic and generated something that is nothing less than a crime of genocide against the peoples of the world.    Misnamed "Crown-Crisis" that has plunged into an even deeper political crisis the imperialist States and the landowning-bureaucratic States which sharpens all the fundamental contradictions at the international level and those specific to the type of countries in question.


Responsible for the crisis and plagues are the imperialists and their lackeys

When the epidemic began in Wuhan-China, the imperialists' concern was mainly that "supply chains" would not be interrupted, that is, that it would cause problems in the production process due to the vertical integration of their monopolies. They did not take action. to prevent the spread of the epidemic. When it was clear that the epidemic was going to become a pandemic, as was the case at the latest in January of this year, his concern was that the aeronautical and tourist companies were going to have a drop in their profits  and they did not prevent the virus from spreading throughout the world. When the pandemic began to hit Western Europe, schools were closed, but restaurants and brothels were left open - with the story of avoiding the ruin of smallholders, when it comes to defending the big monopolies of the "franchise" and of wholesalers.  It is only when factories began to close, yes, that the imperialist states have begun to release means, there yes the states guarantee the existence of monopolies at any cost, there yes "goodbye" to the policy of "austerity", there yes to the unbridled development of state monopoly capitalism; the "austerity" policy, imposed in the world by Yankee imperialism and in the "European Union" ("EU") by German imperialism, is directly guilty of thousands of thousands of deaths in the countries.

Those few facts mentioned above demonstrate that what has conditioned the handling of the pandemic by the imperialist states is   fundamentally their interest in defending profit, acting as the great common capitalist of the imperialist bourgeoisie of each oppressive nation, guided by their political and military interests in the inter-imperialist struggle and, in particular, in maintaining the super-exploitation of oppressed peoples. Now they call us to die as Lambs of the capital god; To save them, we must immolate ourselves. 

The imperialists do not lose their way, they continue in their own logic, taking advantage of the fact that the attention of world public opinion is distracted by the drama of the "Crown-Crisis": the unbridled aggression of Yankee imperialism against Venezuela in the Caribbean continues, the maneuvers naval operations in the North Sea and on the English Channel, the advance of the “EU” (led by Germany) to break the Yankee sanctions against Iran, Trump's threats against OPEC + Russia to cut their oil production to mention just a few "incidents", demonstrating that nothing would change their nature as bloody beasts.   As Chairman Mao has said, imperialism will never become harmless Buddhas.

The struggle within the "EU", before the demand of Italy and Spain to mutualise the debt with the "EURO Bonds", where Germany acts as the hegemonist and forces the Spanish and Italian imperialists to kneel in a way that previously only been able to do with countries like Greece, squaring the French imperialists by forcing them to accept the package  of "aid" for the Kurzarbeit (reduction of the conjunctural working day), thus forcing them to eat from the hand of the president of the EU Commission Von de Leyen, demonstrates once again that European unity under imperialism is a impossible. But the most blatant example of the absolute lack of "solidarity" among the imperialists is how the only hegemonic superpower, Yankee imperialism, literally steals the medical means of the other imperialists, using mafia methods as the representatives of the French and Italian imperialists, among others; the methods that have always been applied against the oppressed nations.         

Within this scenario of rampant economic and political crisis, it is clear who will pay for all these barbarities, as always in this rotten system, it will be those from below, the workers, mainly the "paperless", and the popular masses; already, tens of millions have been thrown into unemployment in imperialist countries. But the greatest weight will fall on the backs of the working and popular masses, mainly peasants, in the oppressed countries. In India alone, in one day 100 million workers lost their income, being forced  to return to the field in order to survive, so we have one more example of how imperialist oppression does not destroy the semi-feudal base but rather evolves it. In Chile when the "quarantine" began to be applied, cynically the large wholesalers, bureaucratic capitalists, declared the price of bread to rise, in one day, by 20%; Such a crime !, first they prevent the masses from earning what they need to survive and on top of that they raise the price of the most basic food in tremendous form. In Ecuador the dead are left on the streets of Guayaquil for days, as in the plague season, demonstrating the absolute putrefaction of the old bureaucratic landowning state. In Brazil, as soon as the fascist Bolsonaro and the right of the military high command, they fight for the leadership of the current counter-revolutionary regime, the masses are helpless in the face of the scourge of unemployment, underemployment, minimum rights cut, more hunger, more misery, the killing of the poor by the gendarmes of the old State and the plague of COVID-19. In South Africa again, reviving the methods of Apartheid, the Armed Forces patrol the neighborhoods, so that the masses die there without access to appropriate sanitary facilities, not even for "normal" times, let alone medical attention. Thus, it is necessary to keep in mind that the real number of deaths caused by this pandemic is hidden, because the vast majority of the dead, found in the oppressed nations, are not registered because they were not even made the slaughter of the poor by the gendarmes of the old State and the plague of COVID-19. In South Africa again, reviving the methods of Apartheid, the Armed Forces patrol the neighborhoods, so that the masses die there without access to appropriate sanitary facilities, not even for "normal" times, let alone medical attention. Thus, it is necessary to keep in mind that the real number of deaths caused by this pandemic is hidden, because the vast majority of the dead, found in the oppressed nations, are not registered because they were not even made the slaughter of the poor by the gendarmes of the old State and the plague of COVID-19. In South Africa again, reviving the methods of Apartheid, the Armed Forces patrol the neighborhoods, so that the masses die there without access to appropriate sanitary facilities, not even for "normal" times, let alone medical attention. Thus, it is necessary to keep in mind that the real number of deaths caused by this pandemic is hidden, because the vast majority of the dead, found in the oppressed nations, are not registered because they were not even made  the respective tests. 

The imperialist parasites, responsible for the crisis, cynically offer "help" through the devilish duo, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, both dominated by Yankee imperialism. The peoples of the world know very well that these institutions mean nothing more than subjugation, oppression, exploitation, hunger and misery. The slavers assault the slave, savagely beat him until he falls to the ground, and from there offer his hand to get up on condition that they put on stronger chains - that is how they handle those wretches.      

Oppression generates resistance and the development of this crisis of the imperialist system, a sign of its further collapse, which threatens to last for years, will lead to an immense growth of popular protest throughout the world, the revolution will increasingly express its tendency character   main historical and political. All the crimes of the imperialists and their lackeys will be more than punished by the revolutionary masses throughout the world, the national liberation struggles will increase even more and great explosions of popular struggle will   shake the entire world. The international proletariat and the peoples of the world led by authentic Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Communist Parties are going to make great leaps forward in ending the most sinister plague that is imperialism.  The colossus with feet of clay will be destroyed.         

Against Imperialism and the Old States: Fight and Resist!

The communists of the world must understand the current political situation very well and assume   our responsibility with initiative, energy and audacity,   inexorably fighting to raise the red flag to the top with the hammer and sickle in the front lines of the struggle of the masses, fighting and resisting, to direct and channel them in the service of the world proletarian revolution, in the struggle for democratic and socialist revolutions - as appropriate respectively in each country.  The deepening of the crisis in the imperialist system creates excellent conditions for the communists to further develop mass politics; to deepen, narrow and expand, its roots and ties with the broadest and deepest masses, as our comrades are already doing in various countries and that allows progress in the construction of the three instruments of the revolution, Party, Army and Front, concentrically. In itself, and it cannot be otherwise, the main thing is to focus on the construction of the Communist Party itself, whether it is in the process of reconstitution, constitution or already reconstituted, but even so the construction of the Front deserves special attention. revolution, be it democratic or socialist, led by the proletariat. The Front must be shaped according to the moment of development of the revolution in each country, as a class front that corresponds to the central and highest task of the revolution, the armed revolutionary struggle, that is popular war, to conquer and defend Power for the proletariat and the people, based on the fact that the revolution in each country is different according to the particular conditions and that the Front is not the same in a country with the Front worldwide. What should make us think about: assuming that the revolution in each country is different according to the particular conditions and that the Front is not the same in a country with the Front at the world level. What should make us think about: assuming that the revolution in each country is different according to the particular conditions and that the Front is not the same in a country with the Front at the world level. What should make us think about:Unite, differentiate and lead! Good management of the  Front's policy will allow communists in all countries to take gigantic steps in advancing their positions and uniting under their leadership, according to their particular conditions and the current moment of the revolutionary process in the respective countries, broad masses that in their own flesh live that plague that is imperialism. Our problem is to differentiate ourselves, not to confuse us; only by clearly differentiating ourselves can we manage that class polarization that is already unfolding and will be greater. If we do not differentiate ourselves, then we will mix and develop that vulgar "frontage", those mescolanzas that serve purposes contrary to what they should serve; also because the Party,

In moments of great exacerbation of the class struggle, it must be developed as prolonged and carried on for periods. Keep in mind that everything cannot be developed at the same level, there is uneven development, it is a law, development is uneven and it always will be.   It is obligatory that the communists give clear and concise slogans to guide the struggle of the masses, combined with forceful actions that reverberate in the minds, in this case that is to break the "Political Truce", the "national unity", that they try to impose governments, under the pretext of "fighting the Corona-Virus", to crush the revolutionary and popular struggle. Communists must unmask corporate measures and dynamite illusions in the old states, otherwise they will fall into the trap of serving the greatest  reactionary states, focusing agitation and propaganda on raising the fact that the only way out of   the iron circle of exploitation is the revolution under the leadership of the proletariat led by its Communist Party.   The protest struggle is necessary and must be developed based on the struggle for power for the proletariat and the people, it   must be seen that the political struggle is the main one and the economic struggle  of the proletariat and of workers in general it is the base; the problem of wages, hours, working conditions and rights such as trade union, strike, assembly, association, expression, opinion and movement, etc., are vitally important problems that we could not avoid, because if we avoided them, we can develop mass work for the revolution; it must be raised, promoting stoppages and strikes,   managing their interrelation well according to the specific circumstances of the struggle. 

In the face of the pandemic, the communists cannot abandon the masses in the face of the blackmail and threats of the "social tax isolation" of the reactionary authorities and the crumbs that they offer them as good Samaritans ("social measures"). They must lead the organization for the defense of people's health by creating front-line organizations, guided by a class line, as political organizations of the masses to fight for the basic needs of protection against contamination and to guarantee by all means supplies food and health personnel, medicines, instruments and equipment for emergency care, sanitation of the outbreaks of infection; cancel payments for water, electricity and mass transportation services.


Bear in mind that   the old states in the face of the deepest crisis unload the weight of it on the backs of the masses, exploitation and oppression   are riveted with greater cuts in rights, freedoms and benefits earned with the blood of the masses. To apply it, the reaction needs to give its "social measures" or "reforms" and these can only bear fruit on the reaction if we allow ourselves to snatch the flags of the struggle; we communists are advancing and we are not going to let them snatch them, we are going to depose them less, we have to hit them to make them fail, to take away the floor of counterrevolutionary action. The masses know where their interests are, confidence in the mass, confidence in the people, always remembering: "the people and only the people are the driving force of history."

 The current situation in the world, from the side of the people, is condensed into: THE   EXPLOSIVITY OF THE MASSES IS INTENSIFYING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND WILL DEVELOP MORE POWERFULLY. Our obligation is to be clear about this explosive situation and to use it accordingly to the interests of the proletariat and the people, in order to start and develop the people's war. You have to know how to fight, you have to apply the principles of war, then, you have to apply what Chairman Mao says for all kinds of struggles in general: fight with reason, advantage and limit.

As the imperialists, reactionaries and revisionists around the world with blatant cynicism try to use the deepening of the imperialist crisis to advance their own particular interests, attacking the international proletariat and the peoples of the world, taking out their iron claws to steal, kill and seize   of the major  part of the loot, which is the oppressed nations, the proletariat and the peoples must do the opposite. Communists must pose a single answer, a unique response from the international proletariat, we must uphold proletarian internationalism, in theory and in practice, and strive for the unity of the International Communist Movement (MCI), on the basis of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism , mainly Maoism, the fight against revisionism and in serving the world proletarian revolution, wielding the people's war, developing those already started, such as those of Peru, India, the Filipinos and Turkey, preparing and, mainly, as soon as possible to start the new in all countries.

Today, the communists are advancing in the unity of the MCI, moving decisively towards the realization of the Unified Maoist International Conference and giving birth to the new international organization of the proletariat.

It is time for unity, enough of splitting, sabotage, traffic and dirty fight. Those who are for Maoism and the People's War and who have made serious errors of principle must assume self-criticism, breaking not only with those methods, but mainly with their substance, the convergences with the approaches of Avakian and Prachanda, well understood that none of These two rats have made no contribution to Marxism but are simply revisionist   and always have been.  In the MCI an increasing number of Parties and Organizations cry out for the reconstitution of the glorious Communist International guided by Maoism, some still hesitate and a few have other criteria but that does not mean that this long road has already been taken and there is no turning back. Over time, and particularly with more people's war, the unity of the world's communists is forged on the basis of principles.  

It is time for action. We must redouble our activities, promoting the rebellion of the masses and struggle to transform spontaneous struggle into conscious struggle under the leadership of the proletariat. Now is not the time to cry about our failures and limitations, but in the midst of the struggle we must rise to the needs of the moment. This is why we had to prepare, now there is no other option but to launch ourselves into the fight, who at that moment doubts or hesitates loses the confidence of the masses. This May Day will be a great manifestation of the vigor of communism, our flaming red flags with hammer and sickle are the symbol of hope, of the luminous future of communism, which wave proclaiming war on the world of oppression and exploitation, the old order. 

And to conclude, this May 1st we also celebrate a very important anniversary: ​​It is the 130th Anniversary of the First Demonstration on May 1st. This first demonstration was implemented and guided by the great comrade Federico Engels, whose 200th anniversary of his birth we are celebrating this year. Come on, comrades!

 (1) The term "Kurzarbeit" in German is used to describe a particular system that implies that the State pays a percentage (on average 60%) of the worker's salary and the "employer" nothing, but the worker is not yet considered "unemployed". When the "employer" considers that they need to recover the worker, they can immediately be reinstated to their workplace. Of the 540 billion Euros of the FRG, 100 billion are destined for measures of this type.
