On the occasion of this new first of May, the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Center of Belgium and the Communist Party of France (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) express their confidence and enthusiasm for the growing affirmation of the second wave of the world revolution.
We can say that the universe is the reflection of itself in an uninterrupted process of transformations. Its nature is the equivalent of an infinite ocean where everything is reflected in an uninterrupted movement of waves at all levels, at all scales.
This First of May of this year has a particular significance : 50 years ago happened the student revolt of May 1968 in France.
This 7th of November 2017, we celebrate the hundred years of the October revolution, which in 1917 led Russia to socialism, through an armed insurrection followed by a civil war between the red and the white armies.
We say that this path is still valid today ; in each capitalist country, a revolutionary upsurge must be led by the avant-guard revolutionary party, mobilizing the masses so that they take the power in destroying the old state in a necessary violent way...
There is never no reason for any capitulation – the struggle continues until victory ! For this reason, we wish to stress here the historical signification of the murders of Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe, political prisoners of the Red Army Fraction, in the night of the 17th of October, 1977. Those murders form a major political event in the frame of the struggle between revolution and counter-revolution in the imperialist metropoles.
“We humans are mere fragments of time and heartbeats, but our deeds will remain for centuries stamped on generation after generation. We will people the Earth with light and happiness.” Gonzalo
This May 1, 2017 is marked by the historical strengthening of the tendency to imperialist war. Each camp polishes its weapons, strengthens its capacity for action, promotes nationalism.
The United Kingdom tumbles to the exit of the European Union with the Brexit; in India, Narendra Modi organizes a regime in which Hinduism turns to fanaticism.
In the United States, it is Donald Trump, that coarse, narrow billionaire who took the lead ; in Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reinforced, in a generalized manner, his prerogatives as president relying on religion...
What is fascism? Is it a gangrene, a reactionary trend carried by the most reactionary element, moving the cursor always more to the right?
Or is a qualitative leap modifying entirely the state, the institutions, even the economy?
Hundred years ago, Marcel Duchamp opened symbolically a whole new epoch. It was the end, on the side of the bourgeoisie, of any pretension of rationalism, objectivity, of objectivism in the sense of the representation of an object.
Alongside the tremendous raise of the productive forces, the bourgeoisie definitely dropped any sense of realism, universalism, collectivism, as those values were now the substance of a strong working class.
The Maoists have never considered that Cuba has, as the “Maoist Communist Party of Italy” thinks, “interrupted its march towards socialism” by supporting the USSR, but that it has become a semi-feudal semi-colonial satellite.
Ten years ago, on November 21, 2006, the World Revolution knew a setback with the capitulation of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), which ceased its People's War to accept a “comprehensive Peace Agreement” with the government.
Timeline of the People's War in Nepal.
Next year, all the genuine revolutionaries in the world shall hail the October Revolution, the seizure of power in Russia in 1917. With the great Lenin at the head of the “Bolsheviks” forming the majority of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, the revolutionaries were able to overthrow the reactionary state and establish Socialism.
As Communists following the path of 1917, we want to profit from this hundred anniversary coming to point out a very important aspect of the October Revolution : the question of the direction, i.e. the importance of Lenin...
Lenin
Lessons of the Moscow Uprising
Proletary, No. 2, August 29, 1906.
The publication of the book Moscow in December 1905 (Moscow, 1906) could not have been more timely.
This book was written in the period preceding the Russian Revolution, during the slight lull that set in after the outbreak of the big strikes of 1895-1896. At that time the working-class movement withdrew, as it were, into itself, spreading in breadth and depth and paving the way for the beginning in 1901 of the demonstration movement.
India is culturally a country full of wealth and how is it possible not to fall in confusion in front of such a profusion?
That's why there is the need for a key for the access to the Indian national soul, to understand India beyond the multitude of appearances in literature, dance, music, architecture, etc...
The Signalfire blog has finally understood Maoism... But it means that it has finally understood that it has nothing to do with it. It is a pathetic failure from an American blog played a very negative role.
Since the development of Scientific Socialism by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, a very important topic was the question of the nature of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Let's remember here what is said in the letter to Joseph Weydemeyer, dated March 5, 1852, where Karl Marx explains his contribution in the following manner :
“And now as to myself, no credit is due to me for discovering the existence of classes in modern society or the struggle between them. Long before me, bourgeois historians had described the historical development of this struggle between the classes, as had bourgeois economists their economic anatomy...
Nothing can stop the movement of matter, the movement of change. And the task is to make this change real, developing itself correctly, to establish a better world, a pacified and unified humankind, a more developed society where culture, arts, science and ecology govern everyday life.
A society where robots help us to progress in production, where the global telecommunications networks permits to share all the knowledge in the best efficient way, where informatics facilitate all the calculations for planning and science, where intellectual and manual labour are combined, where medicine profits to all with the free sharing of knowledge, where man and woman are equal...
Matter goes to Communism : this is the very ideological core of dialectical materialism. As matter – which is infinite and eternal – moves without any stop and in the form of a spiral, through dialectical leaps - it progresses more and more in terms of complexity and organization. Communism is this movement to always more coordination, interrelationship, interpenetration, of deep process of combination. It is the principle of synthesis.
We want to underline here some aspects that should be understood after the attacks on Friday, November 13th, in France i.e. in Paris, to have a correct and complete overview of the events. We make here a common document about it, because both our countries are concerned.
We say that the Islamist project is a synthesized ideology, an expression of feudal forces, that have been in the situation to free themselves, in a relative manner, from the relationship to bureaucratic capitalism...
Our country was again the witness of the feudal criminal insanity. For the first time since our Wars of Religion, in the 16th century, and the sadly famous Dragonnades of the 17th century, people have been murdered collectively in the name of religion.
In the city of Paris, in an area full of nightlife, people had to throw sheets from theirs windows to hide the dead bodies. About 158 people were killed, hundred others wounded, in a series of armed attacks against bars and a concert hall, with three bombings in the area of a football stadium, all of this in the name of religion, with several kamikazes : this is not understandable in our country having made a democratic revolution...
In Bangladesh those last days, a policeman was murdered by a group affiliated to the Islamic State, group having already killed an Italian aid worker and a Japanese farmer, and also two others people in the blast at the country's main Shiite shrine.
But it was a group connected to Al-Qaeda which attacked last saturday two publishing house offices in Dhaka, killing Faisal Arefin Dipan, chief of publication house Jagriti Prokashoni, injuring critically Suddhaswar publisher Ahmedur Rashid Tutul, considered as “atheists and blasphemers”, whereas a few hours before the US-Bangladesh blogger Avijit Roy was murdered...
We wish to warn about an erroneous line that is dangerous for the International Communist Movement : “Third Worldism”. This conception negates the national frame, the dialectical movement of reality and develops ultra-leftist topics which bring only confusion.
(1) First document
On June 14, 1963, the Communist Party of China replied in a letter to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union; it became then famous as the letter in 25 points. The eighth point deals with the question of Asia, Africa and Latin America, presented as the “storm centers of world revolution”.
(2) Second document
Here an excerpt from Lenin, “Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism”, dealing with the question of the labor aristocracy.
“It is precisely the parasitism and decay of capitalism, characteristic of its highest historical stage of development, i.e., imperialism.
(3) Third document
This document comes from the from the verbatim record of a discussion on February 22, 1974 between Mao Zedong and Kenneth David Kaunda; it was presented in China as the point of view of Mao Zedong about the “Three Worlds”.
“Chairman Mao Zedong (hereinafter referred to as Mao): We hope the Third World will unite. The Third World has a large population!
President Kenneth David Kaunda (hereinafter referred to as Kaunda): That’s right.
(4) Fourth document
Deng Xiaoping, the head of the pro-capitalist fraction in the Communist Party of China, presented publicly the conception of the “three worlds” at the Special Session of the U.N. General Assembly on April, 10, 1974, as Chairman of the Delegation of the People’s Republic of China. Here is an excerpt presenting it.
(5) Fifth document
The difference between the red line of Mao Zedong and the black line of Deng Xiaoping (or Lin Biao) was not understood in countries like France and West Germany. Therefore, in those countries, the Chinese position was taken as a whole as an “anti-imperialist” line seeing the “Third World” as the new protagonist of the world history.
(6) Sixth document
Gudrun Ensslin, as a member of the West German Red Army Faction, produced a statement on January 19, 1976, about the Soviet Union, during her trial. She gives the position of the RAF: the Soviet Union is a passive ally and the only enemy would be the USA. Therefore, the organizations defending the Maoist line are wrong because they would help the USA in denouncing the Soviet Union.
As soon as Mao Zedong died, Enver Hoxha and the Party of Labor of Albania changed their position and denounced him as a counter-revolutionary. One of the main argument was the question of the “Three worlds”, like here in this excerpt of a letter from the CC of the Party of Labor of Albania to the CC of the Communist Party of China, in 1978.
(8) Eighth document
In Turkey, the TKP/ML thought that, as the “Three Worlds” theory was promoted by Deng Xiaoping, there couldn't be another interpretation of it by Mao Zedong: there could be only a mere rejection. Here is the position of the TKP/ML, through an excerpt from a document published on September 9, 1979, on the third anniversary of Mao Zedong's death.
(9) Ninth document
In Peru, the Communist Party of Peru understood the things very differently: Mao Zedong used the concept of “Three Worlds”, but in a manner which was of course totally different from Deng Xiaoping. Here is what is said about it in the “The International Line” of the Communist Party of Peru, published in 1988.
At our epoch, the bourgeoisie is in decay; it destroys culture, it produces pessimism and irrationality. In this process, the national heritage is considered as a commodity, to use following the decadent lifestyle of the high bourgeoisie.
That's why we call to protest to the selling of some parts of the Palace of Versailles! This is another shame. This is another proof that the ruling classes, always richer, don't care about the masses, about culture, about history, about our national heritage and its democratic values...
What is happening nowadays in Greece is the product of the inter-imperialist contradictions and the contradictions among capitalism itself. The capitalists devour each other and the weakest ones fall first.
Therefore, Greece, a weak capitalist country, is becoming more and more dependent of stronger imperialist countries, being guided by a bourgeoisie tending to become a bureaucratic capitalist faction sold to the Russian imperialism and helping its goal to destroy the European Union...
As an Islamist decapitated his boss and tried to blow up a factory near Lyon two days ago, France is shocked. It is difficult to express the disgust which predominates, nevertheless we can say that the sorrow mixed with anger is very different from the reactions from January forming the “Charlie” mass movement.
The mass believed that Islamic fundamentalism was only an idealistic strategical proposal, that could only be rejected despite some dramatic events; Charlie was therefore a mass movement expressing a democratic vision of “living together”...
In the famous painting “The School of Athens” by the Renaissance painter Raphael, we can see Plato and Aristotle as the central figures: Plato points his index finger to the heavens, calling to see beyond matter, whereas Aristotle points down to earth with his hand.
One erroneous understanding of dialectics consists of seeing it as a process characterized by the steps “thesis antithesis synthesis”. This is an error that Mao Zedong tried to avoid in stressing that there is no such thing as the “negation of the negation”.
In France, such a way of seeing dialectics is very traditional, one of its most important promoter being Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, whose “French Socialism” is a “synthesis” of private property and socialism understood as thesis and antithesis...
On lesmaterialistes.com, we defend monism – it is our basic identity. It means that we consider that there is no “split” parts in the universe, no parts at all: all the different elements are the components of only one process: the universe itself.
It means that historical materialism is only a study of some elements of the universe – the history of mankind – but that it can't be separated from dialectical materialism, which studies the movement of the universe...
François Maspero played as a publisher a very counter-revolutionary role, suppoting Leftism.
Where does the sensation come from ? Such a question is a typical error, the produce of the feudal and the bourgeois approaches, which separate the brain and the body. The feudal conception separates them totally, whereas the bourgeois way links them in a tormented way.
Post-Modernism has nothing to do with dialectical materialism. Dialectical materialism is a science, produced by theoreticians, carried by ideological movements and states, based on concepts very well defined. Post-modernism is an ideology born in the French and US universities, promoting “deconstruction” as the path of “total liberation”.
This concept of “deconstruction” can already be found in the 1920's-1930's, with the artistic avant-gardes: surrealism in France, cubism in Czechoslovakia, futurism in Russia, all pretending to be artistic and psychological aspects of a “total” revolution that the working class should do...
“Investment in growth” can't be the solution of capitalism as it is a dying mode of production. This is a law of history, and the electoral triumph of SYRIZA in Greece can't change this.
SYRIZA won with 35,73% of the voices, just short of outright majority, with an anti-austerity line which is only the mask of reformist modernization. This situation shows a thing which is very important to understand: reformism is still a very strong tool of the bourgeoisie to modernize capitalism through the mobilization of the masses and “Keynesian economics”.
The 20th yearly session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 20) to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in Lima in Peru, has been a total failure, due to the inter-imperialist contradictions.
Three years ago, on November 22th 2011, Lynn Margulis died and it meant a terrible loss for science. As a biologist, she practically filled the vacuum that existed in materialism since the discover of DNA.
The discover of DNA and the ideology that the bourgeoisie built about it – called neo-darwinism – formed a very difficult challenge to dialectical materialism, as it seemed that it was “proven” that individuals exist as such, and that all evolution is based only on individuals. The living world changed because some individuals were fittest, promoting their own “better” DNA, whose difference depended on “random” mutation...
The word “epistemology” is not common, but it is important. It comes from the Greek and means to speak about knowledge (“epistēmē”) i.e. it's the study of the foundations of science.
For example, the foundation of the Christian “science” is the figure of the Christ, and the one of dialectical materialism is matter considered as eternal and in movement.
The great Bangladeshi revolutionary Siraj Sikder expresses here a very interesting point of view, very deep, very intense, very dense. Here is what he says...
Is there a Charu Mazumdar Thought ? This is one of the most important question in the world today. Is there a Charu Mazumdar Thought ? Did the Indian revolution, in the 1960's, produce a guiding Thought, through a revolutionary leader who understood the nature of the Indian society?
What is nostalgia? It is an important question, because it is a very common feeling. In fact, we should say that it is a very common feeling in the non-communist society. Why that? Because nostalgia is rooted in the non-understanding of a contradiction. The lack of synthesis brought a situation where the contradiction was not resolved in a progressive manner. Because of this, there is a “skeleton in the closet”.
If we take the example of love, or romance, we can see that the reasons for the failure were thoughts like “he has not enough money”, “she's not beautiful enough”, “better safe than sorry”, “to flee happiness by fear that it runs away”, etc.
Opportunism can exist, but can't obliterate the human reality. And the brain is here like a non rewritable CD. Once it is written, nothing can be erased. But what is in the brain can be overstepped, through a process of synthesis. For this reason, “mad people” need to work, to transform; it is only in transforming reality that they will understand the process of transformation, and also transform themselves...
On the express orders of Hitler and Himmler, Ernst Thälmann was murdered on August 18, 1944, after more than eleven years of solitary confinement. He had previously been brought from the Bautzen prison to the concentration camp of Buchenwald near Weimar, where his body was burned after the murder, so he gets no grave.
Without dialectical materialism, idealism prevails. For some Israel is the “only democratic state in the Middle East”, for others it is only a “Zionist entity”. Some others talk also from the “Israeli imperialism”, and anyway we can easily find anti-Semitic conceptions, seeing Israel as manipulating the others regimes in the world, controlling the USA, practising “Nazi like” genocides, etc.
All of this is basically the same position as Eugen Dühring's one, seeing “the Jews”, and here Israel, as inhuman, forming a special category, etc. According dialectical materialism, on the other side, there is no “special category”. Islamist, Christian fascist, Jewish nationalist ideologies and Anti-Semitism can get hysterical and irrational with this question, because of its “special” character. This is not the position of materialism.
So, what is Israel according dialectical materialism? In fact, there are only two solutions: either is Israel an imperialist country, or it is semi-colonial semi-feudal...
What is happening in Ukraine, in Palestine, in Syria, in Iraq... imposes to repeat the basic teaching of dialectical materialism about the nature of countries in the world.
Since the arrest in 1992 of Abimael Guzmán, famous under the name of Gonzalo, imperialism has acted in a very precise way. Everything was done to raise confusion about him, to avoid at any price that his ideas would be spread. Here is an explanation of the situation.
1. a) Gonzalo is in the hands of the enemy
The leap was unable to be satisfy the expectations of the Communist Party. The main problem was the terrible weather conditions, with droughts and flooding on a terrible scale, making agricultural production fall by14% in 1959 and by 13% in 1960. In 1961, production had gone back to the levels of 1952. The state had to buy grain on the international market, 5 million tons a year.
The question was very easy to understand for the genuine communists in China. They faced two dangers, forming an immediate counter-revolutionary possibility of restoration.
The first one was the pragmatic temptation to authorize capitalist enterprises as a “tool” to develop the productive forces. The second one was the taking of power of the specialists and the cadres of the state, with the destruction of the Party.
However, a revisionist trend was already gaining strength in the Party itself. It opposed collectivization, upholding the same views as Tito, Gomulka, etc. in the Eastern European countries.
During the period 1945-1949, the People's Liberation army, composed of 1.2 million officers and soldiers, had to face the Guomindang and its 4.3 million troops, which had the support of US imperialism: 50 000 Marines guarded strategic sites, whereas 100 000 others in the coastal province of Shandong, equipment and training and even transportation were furnished to 500 000 troops.
The goal of New Democracy was already understood a long time beforehand by Mao Zedong. And indeed, his understanding of the Chinese situation was acknowledged by the Communist Party of China.
At its Seventh Congress, from April 23rd to June 11th 1945, 754 delegates representing 1.2 million party members supported Mao Zedong's report, called “On Coalition Government”.
Mao Zedong explained in this report:
After the collapse of the German Nazi regime, and with the major role of the Soviet Union in this process, numerous countries from Eastern Europe became “people's democracies”.
This was the case for Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, the German Democratic Republic, Rumania and Albania; Yugoslavia was among them but betrayed really quickly in favour of US imperialism.
The victory of the Allied Forces over Nazi Germany is owed mainly to the Red Army, which crushed the overwhelming majority of the German military, thus liberating a number of countries and paving the way for people 's democracies.
“Comrade Ajith”, leader of the former CPI(ML) Naxalbari, has an erroneus conception of Maoism.
How does the world look like, in 2014?
Those last ten years, India changed a lot, and at the same time didn't change...
Will the development of such a corrupt and degenerated capitalism {the bureaucratic capitalism} which comes from the situation of world imperialism, triumph over feudalism in the long run?
Are we dogmatic? Absolutely.
Testament (Zapovit)
When I am dead, bury me
In my beloved Ukraine,
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain,
So that the fields, the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper's plunging shore
My eyes could see, my ears could hear
The mighty river roar.
It is an urgent task for Communists, and for our Party, to evaluate the Communist International, especially its VII Congress...
In his last article, the Odio de Clase collective from Spain has put the mask away. It upholds Marxism-Leninism, and not Maoism any more.
"Chairman Gonzalo, what prompted you, after a lengthy silence, to do this interview?"
The peoples of all the countries are rising up...
President Gonzalo established the PCP's line of construction of the three instruments of the revolution by upholding and applying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, mainly Maoism.
Upholding, defending, and applying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism, President Gonzalo established the military line of the Party. In the First Expanded National Conference of November, 1979, it was agreed upon as being central to the general political line and it is now being developed through the People's War.
We are the initiators and we should keep this fact deeply in our spirits. This meeting is historic.
Comrades, we will pass into history as the initiators. For some time, the Party has been writing this history on indestructible pages.
Since ancient times, the masses have been subjected to exploitation and oppression. They have always rebelled, it is a long and inexhaustible history.
The class struggle is constant. It cannot be suppressed. For ages, since they began struggling, the masses have clamored to organize the rebellion, to be armed, to rise up, to be led. It has always been this way and will continue to be.
“The revolutionary war is the war of the masses, and it can only be realized by mobilizing the masses and being supported by them.”
“Our principle is: The Party commands the gun, and we will not allow the gun to command the Party.”
Mao Tse tung
The world political situation has entered a new era: That of Mao Tse-tung thought.
Under this sign, we have witnessed events in the past few years that have changed the world considerably.
We presented the Arthashastra, written by the Indian Minister Chāṇakya (c. 350–283 BC); let's see what are its arguments.
There is a state and an administration on one side, a science of politics on the other side. Hence:
“He, who is well-versed in the science of politics (…) plays, as he pleases, with kings tied by the chain of his intellect.”
The situation in France
Reactionary progress in a context of crisis, and the emergence of an ideology of the military coup
The general crisis of capitalism and its manifestations in France
The ideological role of the “No” vote in the 2005 referendum on the European constitution
A “right-wing May '68”: protest against gay marriage, the humourist Dieudonné and the “Red Woolen Hats”
Anti-fascism, a necessary Front for progressives
The possibility of a reactionary coup
Absolute monarchy played a progressive role, in unifying the country, thus allowing the emergence of a vast market and the administration of the state. Capitalism could not develop itself in a country where chaos reigned and where an organized market had not enough resources.
La Fontaine wrote his fables in the spirit of political Averroism. Let's understand this.
What happened to Indian capitalism? In fact, it already had an extremely developed ideology: Jainism. But Karl Marx could not see that, for two reasons. Firstly, Jainism was less known, not to say unknown, as it still is today in fact. Secondly, Karl Marx knew an advanced form of capitalist ideology, and Jainism was “democratic” in a very elementary form.
The ideological vigour of Hinduism led the feudal forces of the south to join Hinduism, through the integration of the feudal lords into the kshatriya caste and the instruction of priests, and a whole history was “written” about all this, to connect it with northern culture.
Hinduism succeeded in crushing Buddhism with bhakti, but the price was high, because that meant the integration of the devotion of the masses into the religious process itself.
The Bhakti movement doesn't call for annihilation of the ego, but for a meeting with the supreme; its concurrent was not Buddhism, it is Islam, in the birth of the feudalism in the Indian situation.
The situation of materialism in ancient India was untenable. Materialism's two possible directions were blocked by either Hinduism or Buddhism.
Materialism had to overcome two hurdles. The first difficulty was to state that there is no soul, that only the body exists and therefore that humans do not “think”: there is only matter.
Karl Marx didn't know Buddhism and its role in India, so he thought that Hinduism had always been the dominant form and that the worship of nature was an element of it, when in fact it was an animist component of the indigenous colonized people and a peaceful component of Buddhism as a civilized and urban ideology.
The triumph of Hinduism over Buddhism took centuries. Even after the reorganization of Brahmanism into its new “Hinduist” form, Buddhism initially kept its positions in ancient India, and 3000 preachers were even sent to China, where Buddhism soon became the state religion.
Brahmanism was facing a huge threat with the massive development of Buddhism and Jainism, i.e. the development of absolute monarchy and of a class of merchants.
The organization of Brahmanism as a “mixture” of the traditional religion of the Aryans and of local forms of animism in ancient India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, allowed the development of a feudal base leaning towards a slave system.
Reincarnation is the most famous concept that people associate with Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Let's see, from the perspective of historical materialism, how this concept was formed and what it means.
If we look at the history of what is now India, we can see that conquerors came from the West and triumphed because of their military superiority. Those conquerors were “Aryans”, also called “Indo-Iranians.”
In ancient Greece, the slave system allowed the production of intellectuals, who had time and wealth to dedicate their activity to knowledge, to science.
During the Renaissance, in Europe and particurly in Italy, the “return” to this knowledge of Ancient Greece was formulated as the way to leave the Middle Ages behind.
The “Revolutionary Internationalist Movement” is an important theme to understand to take correctly Maoism as the revolutionary ideology in our epoch.
Dear comrades of the Communist Party Marxist Leninist Maoist of Bangladesh, please accept here our red condolences, after the death of a heart attack of your comrade Mohammad Abul Motin.
In making public yesterday's report on climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change organized by the United Nations shows the total inability of the ruling classes to understand reality and to assume a progressive morality.
As Lenin put it, imperialism is the reaction all along the line. Ecocide, deforestation and destruction of nature in general form an inseparable whole from the nature itself of the accumulation of commodities existing in the world today.
In the French army, the massive support for the "quenelle" [a legal semi Nazi salute] movement initiated by comedian Dieudonné is paving the way for future fascist mass mobilization.
What fascism needs today, in addition to its agressively militant groups and an electoralist Front National, is a large and irrational mass mobilization on the same scale as the ones accomplished by the S.A. and the Brown Shirts in the past.
The CP of India (Maoist) takes a stand between luxemburgism and ultra-democratism.
40 years ago, fascism in Chile crushed the “peaceful way to socialism”, on the 11 of September 1973. But it is not only the fact that the counter-revolution was armed that was the problem for the masses – what counted as the main aspect is that the masses were disarmed, not organized in the form of the People's War.
We already faced this, following the death of Chavez, but this time with the Syrian question, this all is even clearer: the revisionists, sometimes masked as “Maoists”, deform the scientific approach of the question of the national bourgeoisie and the bureaucratic bourgeoisie.
1. Semi-feudal semi-colonial countries or “national states” ?
The open and massive use of chemical weapons in Syria is another proof of the profound decadence of the imperialist system, his inner trend to barbarism.
One of the main question in the International Communist movement nowadays, and in fact since the 1960's, is the one of the reconstitution of genuine Communist Parties.
On this occasion, we never documented or formulated in a clear way a difference of approach between the CPMLM [France] and the MPP, the Communist Party of Peru's generated organism for the work abroad.
Chairman Gonzalo, imprisoned since 1992, in a Peruvian military jail, is deeply ill and his life is threatened. It is a moment of an extreme importance; the life of the great Maoist of these last thirty years is in danger.
Therefore, it is necessary to recall: to fight for Chairman Gonzalo means to fight for Communism! It is necessary to study Gonzalo and to apply his masterful understanding of the People's War, of the Thought, of dialectical materialism!
“We humans are mere fragments of time and heartbeats, but our deeds will remain for centuries stamped on generation after generation. We will people the Earth with light and happiness.”
Deng Xiaoping managed to cut science and philosophy, which means that he rejected the universal aspect of dialectical materialism. There would be on one side science, on the other philosophy.
As we have seen, the emergence of liberalism in the field of cosmology changed the situation for the Chinese revisionism. Indeed, the emergence of scientists in this frame opened by Chinese revisionism gave such an important contribution to the bourgeois open counter-revolution's ideology, that even the revisionist regime itself came in trouble.
Let's study more precisely this process.
How did Deng Xiaoping launch the struggle against dialectical materialism? He had to appear as reorganizing the ideology, to bring it on its correct path. Therefore, Deng Xiaoping pretended to act in the name of the “truth”.
As we deal with the question of how Chinese revisionism broke away with the Maoist principle of indivisibility of matter, let's take a deeper look at Deng Xiaoping's conception of science.
What is the key of revisionism, in the USSR and in the Popular Republic of China ? It is ideology; there was an open space for revisionism in the USSR and in the PRC, where the bourgeois elements could clump and then made a coup.
The vehicle of science is not the proletariat, but the bourgeois intelligentsia: it was in the minds of individual members of this stratum that modern socialism originated, and it was they who communicated it to the more intellectually developed proletarians who, in their turn, introduce it into the proletarian class struggle where conditions allow that to be done.
Daft Punk could be as important as Serge Gainsbourg, but for that it must cease to live in a parallel way to French society – it must quit the American bourgeois dream of French touch.
"Revolutonary syndicalism", which gave birth to the charter of Amiens of the CGT, opposed the birth of socialist theory.
Nowadays, when we think about social-democracy, we have in mind a reformist movement organized by a party of officials, based on the trade-unions. This image is absolutely not conform to reality.
Nothing is indivisible ! The universe is eternal ! The law of the unity of opposites is the fundamental law of nature and of society and therefore also the fundamental law of thought!
“İbo yaşıyor, TİKKO savaşıyor !” - “Ibrahim is alive, TIKKO is fighting!” 40 years after his death in martyrdom, his flame still burns, carrying the people's war in Turkey.
When we look at history, when we see that life is matter in movement, then it is inevitable that we can see a contradiction between the search by each life of its own preservation and the necessity to put its own life in danger in the struggle for progress.
On one side, the general trend of revolution pushes the individual to action. On the other side, the individual is already living, he has a family, he has friends, a love relationship can have begun, kids are maybe already there, etc...
Uphold, defend and apply Maoism ! Struggle for the generation and the application of the guiding thought in each country, to initiate and develop the People's War!
Did Akram Yari, the great historical Maoist of Afghanistan, founded the dialectical materialist approach of psychology? This is a very important question. There are many elements that can let us consider that it is the case. Let's go back to a sentence written by Akram Yari:
“Individual’s perpetuity is a cause of station and is a passive agent, but sacrifice for the [working] class is a dynamic and active agent.”
There is the need to comment further this sentence, as its ideological luxuriousness is extreme...

When we look at history, when we see that life is matter in movement, then it is inevitable that we can see a contradiction between the search by each life of its own preservation and the necessity to put its own life in danger in the struggle for progress.
Revolution is the product of matter in movement, and there is a dialectic movement with the thought. The thought reflects this movement of matter, and dialectically, it throws forces in this movement, to accomplish the qualitative leap...
"The reform of consciousness consists entirely in making the world aware of its own consciousness, in arousing it from its dream of itself, in explaining its own actions to it (...) It will then become plain that the world has long since dreamed of something of which it needs only to become conscious for it to possess it in reality"
“This question involves another basic question that can't be overlooked and needs to be emphasized: there is no Great Leadership [Jefatura] that does not base itself on a body of thought, no matter what its level of development may be.”
The word “Afghan” is a strict synonym for the word “Pashtun” - which makes that the word “Afghanistan” means solely “land of the Pashtuns”... The consequence of it is that the majority of the people of Afghanistan is not represented in the name “Afghanistan”.
These last days, the Odio de Clase collective produced a document announcing the end of a stage and the beginning of a new one. In this document, the Odio de Clase collective tries to manage to get out of the terrible contradiction it has put itself in. Actually, it is a move towards relativism and centrism.
Abdullah Öcalan called to the disarmament of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party), whereas these last days the DHKP-C made numerous armed attacks, to propose on the contrary to maintain the hard-line against Turkish fascism...
The death of Chavez has therefore not “caused” a new situation, but is a historical fact which is also a step in a process of transformation of the International Communist Movement. Ex Maoists supported Chavez and its "Socialism of the 21th century", so did the MCP of Italy or Odio de Clase. What does it reveal and what should the red line do ?
400 years ago, on March 12, 1613, was born André Le Nôtre, a major figure in the history of our people. As a gardener, he synthesized the national character to make French gardens. He expressed in the 17th century the French national feature which attaches a great value to the perspective and the affirmation of a geometric harmony...
The CPMLM of France expressed a clear position on Hugo Chávez following his death: he was a representative of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie of his country, and not a “national bourgeois”, a “reformist”, like pretend trotskyists, hoxhaists, guevarists, revisionists, etc.
What is the revolutionary path? Is it to manage the transformation of reality, to require it to be transformed in a revolutionary way? Or is it to follow the revolutionary nature of reality itself, to correspond to it? Adequacy must be our great concern, we must always correspond to the transformation of reality...

CPN-Maoist Is The Flip-side of UCPN (M): Both Giving Up The Struggle And Opposing People’s War Strategy!
2 weeks ago we produced a sum up of the positions taken by numerous parties and organizations, after the polemic launched by the Communist Party of Ecuador – Reconstruction Committee. As there were new positions taken, here is another sum up of them.
On the 18th of January, the CPMLM [France] produced a short document called “CPMLM - On the polemic launched by the PCE-CR”.

What is the scientific point of view of dialectical materialism on homosexuality ? If it had not be formulated until yet, now it should be easy to see what it could or should be. Dialectical materialism recognizes homosexuality as a natural phenomenon, concerning a tiny part of the population, and it considers that there is nothing anti-social or counter-productive...

The historical strategic document of the Red Army Faction, in 1982. "The revolutionary strategy here is very simply a strategy against their strategy.
Whoever attacks their strategic plans or their concrete projects, whoever breaks the imperialist offensive in its internal or external orientation and whoever does so creates the consciousness that becomes the new resistance"...
Is Maoism a method, or a science? Again, we can see this burning question coming from another question: the Indian question.
150 years ago, Claude Debussy was born, on the 22th of august. This French composer was a key figure of a crucial period of French history.
It is no mystery why survivalists love the movie "Red Dawn"...
According to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the countries of the world are divided in two types, characterizing a contradiction.
Ten years ago died the Iranian Mansoor Hekmat, on the 4th of July 2002. This intellectual tried to develop a new ideology, a new form of "Marxism", that he called “Worker-communism”.
"The electron is as inexhaustible as the atom, nature is infinite, but it infinitely exists. And it is this sole categorical, this sole unconditional recognition of nature’s existence outside the mind and perception of man that distinguishes dialectical materialism from relativist agnosticism and idealism."
The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced yesterday a “milestone in the understanding of nature” with “proof” of the existence of the Higgs boson...
The dignity of reality teaches us that a minority of human beings is sexually attracted to the persons of the same sex – that is the sense of the word “homosexual”. This is a reality that can be denied and that must be respected.
On June 25, 1982, the movie Blade Runner was released in the USA. This movie played an important role in the field of culture.
The failure of Rio+20 is the historical failure of the bourgeoisie ! And this shows that our time needs a socialist state at world scale.
The factory of Freirina in Chile is an expressive example of capitalism. We find all the elements which compose this mode of production nowadays. We find both contradictions that are the roots of capitalist development: contradiction between manual and intellectual labor, between city and countryside.
Averroism existed, because it was materialism. It was an historical tendency, parallel to the rise of the productive forces, and Averroes was a weapon in a Europe coming out of the Middle Ages.
The workman of the present day may well think that art is not a matter which concerns him much. To speak bluntly, he is not wealthy enough to share in such art (there is little enough of it told) as is going in civilized countries.
Giorgione (1478 – 1510) was a great painter, as a Venetian Renaissance master, he produced a work that socialism will recognize as one the most important painting: the “three philosophers”. The painting depicts indeed, as the title says, three philosophers - among them, Averroes - and describes three stages: the Greek philosophy, that began science. The Arab-Persian culture, that continued it. And then Renaissance, that was continuing the process.
Averroes is a major key of history. He is a giant that must be recognized by humanity as one of its titans. Dialectical materialism upholds Averroes as one of the greatest producer of thought.
A look about what took place in Ecuador those last weeks. In this country, there is not even a bourgeois law against animal abuse in general. But a spark produced a wave of fire, with a scandal: dogs are used in military instruction. The pictures of soldiers holding a decapitated dog produced a strong moral reaction – a reaction that, for us, belongs to the people.
Joint Message to the Workers of All Countries
Let's Struggle for the Triumph of
The World Proletarian Revolution!
Al-Fârâbî was the first prominent figure of this intellectual and cultural movement; he paved the way to Avicenna and Averroes. Ans it is not a surprise that it was through the question of “thought” that the Falsafa went in direction of materialism...
Avicenna promoted a pre-materialist conception using an active God. Averroes tried to build materialism through an eternal passive God. Averroes separates radically God from the world – and in doing this, he puts God in the world, as a mere motor. It is a religious system masking a materialist system.
The problem of the old Greek materialism is that the universe was static, it has no movement, reality could not be observed and studied, because matter was all but had no movement, no sense itself. Whereas with Aristotelianism, universe is moving, even if only in circles, in a repetitive manner. So, it is possible to understand this.
“M”, a German movie directed by Fritz Lang, is what is called a « classical. » Let's see about a parallel that could be made with Merah. And let's see: Merah is not “M”; no “M” exists. Madness does not exist according to dialectical materialism: a “strange” thought is always the result of a material process, a product of society and nature.
Mohamed Merah is a modern cannibal. “National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism."
Irrational bourgeois thought can NOT admit conceptualization. Because conceptualization means materialism, and in our epoch, it means dialectical materialism...
Let's see here some important points about Gonzalo Thought. The first point is the origin of the poetical prose used by Gonzalo. It is here not a question of style; using poetical prose, he wanted to show that what he says, his mind, is a product of the movement of matter, not a product of his mind alone.
Fascism comes in a time of crisis. Either, fascism manage to promote a romanticist community, mobilizing for imperialist wars... or socialism wins over barbarism!
We saw that the conquest of space was theorized by Tsiolkovsky (see Life, Matter, the Universe, part 4: Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, from the Biosphere to the Milky Way)) and that it was an important part of the communist conception of the universe. Unfortunately, it is the revisionists in the USSR who have benefited from these efforts; Tsiolkovsky itself will die long before the introduction of rockets he had planned.
“Foundation” is the expression of our understanding in France of dialectical materialism; it exists in two versions: a French one, an English one. The articles are a selection of the Milky Way website (voie-lactee.fr) and defend the point of view of the Communist Party Marxist Leninist Maoist, that can be resumed in “Nothing is indivisible”.
“Nothing is indivisible” is the foundation of our ideology, dialectical materialism. An ideology that made the Russian and the Chinese revolutions, that promotes all over the world the emancipation of the oppressed masses. But also an ideology that is purely scientific, founded not on desires or wills, but on the dialectical movement of matter itself.
So, what are thoughts? Thought is a sense. Thoughts are, like senses, matter connected to matter. Thought is a very high development of matter interconnected; the mind is the place where the movement of matter is reflected, through gray matter. Spinoza and La Mettrie were right, as materialists, to conceive the human body as a natural machine.
One issue is important for understanding of Maoism: to what extent has Gonzalo positions with conform to the teachings of Mao Zedong that "nothing is indivisible"? Should we consider Gonzalo as the one who carried the flag of Maoism after the counter-revolution in people's China in 1976?
Mao Zedong understood that if dialectics is universal, then it is correct to understand the macro-world and the micro-world themselves as dialectical process... Then the origin of life, exactly like the structure of elementary particles, must be understood also as dialectical process....
Our great leader Chairman Mao points out: "All things invariably divide into two." "The law of contradiction in things, that is, the law of the unity of opposites, is the basic law of materialist dialectics." (On Contradiction.)
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.
If we understand that we are the children of the sun, we have to understand how this process realized itself. How did it go from matter in movement? And what are living beings?
One month ago, on the 26th of December 2011, was published the joint document « THE INTERNATIONAL UNITY OF THE COMMUNISTS REQUIRES THE DEFEAT OF REVISIONISM AND CENTRISM! »
We believe this was a great step forward. Centrism, which switches ever in opportunism and revisionism, suffered a severe blow. Already, it tries to transform itself.
Kasama, a US website opened in December 2007, is an arch-revisionist website, a model of anti-MLM propaganda. It is so far away from MLM that nobody cared about criticizing it, but also because the communist movement in the United Stated is paralyzed between Avakianism and ultra-leftist “third-worldism”.
Political economy is very extremely precise concerning the definition of a country. The development of the productive forces of the countries of the world is not uniform, it is not balanced; for this reason, some countries are more advanced than others, and differences exist among them.
Third part of the articles on the Bengali nation.

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935) is the founder of cosmonautics; he's the one who expressed first the principles of the space rocket. In 1926 – in Soviet Russia – he elaborated the map for the colonization of the universe in 16 stages...
According to dialectical materialism, living systems i.e. biological systems are directly issued from chemical systems, and are still chemical systems. Their movement corresponds to the movement of matter – and so, the question is: why does that kind of movement exist? As dialectical materialists, the question “why does it exist?” is the same as “How does it exist?”, because following the law of transformation, what exists is a logical conclusion of a process; there is no matter that transforms itself “by chance.”
It is a kind
The impetuous rise of class struggle in the world has exposed the subjected capitulation of prachandist revisionism in Nepal and the disappearance of the leading role of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement - RIM...
For us dialectical materialists, asking what is life is finding the origin of all living cells from non-living matter. Life is matter in movement, it is “just” a highly developed form of matter in movement.
It seems that revisionist are so bad in political economy that they are not able to formulate even a joint statement about the murder of the indian maoist leader Koteshwar Rao alias Kishenji.
As we can see here in a easy manner, the « joint statement » promoted by the revisionists calling themselves “Maoists” is on many points a direct copy of the joint statement made by the PCMLM of France and the Proletarian Party of East Bengal (Maoist Unity Group)/Bangladesh.
What a shame! What a shame to copy a statement of others organizations to express sadness ! What a total lack of dignity ! What an opportunism !
Born on the 5 of march 1938 in Chicago, Lynn Margulis deceased on the 22th of November 2011 ; historical figure of science, she will become in the next decades a symbol like Copernic, Newton, Einstein. Lynn Margulis is a great figure of humanity, she will remains as a titan of the second part of the 20th century. When dialectical materialism will be seized by humankind in the biosphere, her immense contribution will be recognized for its value.
India's importance can not be stressed enough; as Mao Zedong did it himself:
« One day a free India will appear in the world as a member of the great family of socialism and People's Democracies, just as free as China has.
That day shall end the epoch of imperialism and reaction in the history of humanity. »
The struggle against centrism has shown difficulties, for two reasons that have the same origin. The first reason is that the centrists quite never take position on the fields of political economy. The second reason is that they never answer to the content of the criticism made of them. Those two reasons have the same orign: the sorelian way.
The 18th of november, « Basanta », an important member of the so called « red fraction » in Nepal, published a document called « The tasks of the ongoing Central Committee meeting. »
He expresses in it the general point of view of the so called « red fraction » in the present situation; let's take a look at it, to see if we find or not the revisionist theses that we can expect.

We communists are partisan of Einstein (and of general relativity), and not of quantum mechanics, scientific vision that is the mirror of the bourgeoisie’s intellectual conception.
If understanding all the details of this ideological conflict is most of the time difficult, it is indeed very easy to understand the issue : on one side, there is the synthetic vision, that considers that the movement of matter is organized (and understandable), and on the other, there is the statistical reading of the world, founded on a separated vision of « individuals. »
For us as dialectical materialists, life is matter in movement, in dialectical movement, with qualitative leaps. This is the basis of the thinking of Marx, Engels, Lenine, Stalin, Mao Zedong, but also of great precursors like Epicurus, Lucretius or Spinoza.
What is happening in Nepal shows in a sad manner how trotskyist conceptions managed to be adopted in the World Communist Movement and even Organizations and Parties pretending to uphold marxism-leninism-maoism.
The tactic of class against class defined by our VIIth Congress and tested in France during four years of economic or political struggles will be firmly applied by the whole of the Party during the course of this electoral campaign.
The responsible organisms of the Party, from the cells up to the Political Bureau, will be on the alert so that there nowhere re-occur the defections and compromises with the Socialist, or even the Radical party, as occurred in certain regions in 1928.
We must ask: what are the real reasons that, for quite a while, have connected a faction of the Trotskyists and the PSU?
These affinities led directly to Charléty. [1]
And since it doesn’t seem there has been the least autocritique on this point — like on so many others — we have a right to ask questions of ourselves and of others.
Everyone feels that we are on the eve of even tougher confrontations with power.
This is true: the workers’ struggle against the bosses’ dictatorship is more lively than ever.
And in the background of each struggle there is an even stronger consciousness of the antagonism between the proletariat and capitalist authority. This is the most tangible result and conquest of May.
The monetary crisis of November powerfully contributed to revealing the weakness of the adversary.
France’s Minister of the Interior made several attempts to shut down the Gauche Prolétarienne’s newspaper, La cause du Peuple. The party leader, Alain Geismar, was about to go on trial in October, 1970, one of a series of trials of leaders of the GP and editors of the newspaper.
In defying the Marcellin Law [1], which intends to forbid demonstrations and to put an end to the freedom to protest, Alain Geismar shows the path of honor.
Ever since the barricades of 68 he has said to the worker:
The central task and the supreme form of the revolution is the conquest of power by armed struggle, is to resolve the problem by war.
MAO TSE-TUNG
The Gauche Prolétarienne didn’t restrict itself to written propaganda. As the “Spontaneous Expression Collection” they also released a number of records. The song “New Partisans” neatly sums up their ideas. The explanatory text was on the record sleeve.
The Spontaneous Expression Collection
After our « proletarian syndicalist » detour we had to accept the evidence: In order to set ourselves apart from the reviso-reformists it’s not enough to have new and tough forms of action, if we keep the same syndicalist spirit, or the same isolated demands taken from the program of the CGT.
100 years ago the French working class rose up against the bourgeoisie: that was the Commune. Against poverty and for freedom, the rifles of the Parisian workers pushed back the assaults of the bourgeoisie.

There is a rebellion in Clichy Sous bois.
A rebellion that has as its moral basis revenge, after two teenagers died of electrical burns in a power substation.
The nights of rebellion continue. A popular rebellion taking aim at the State, which is completely overwhelmed by what was easy to see coming.
But even if you see it coming, a popular rebellion cannot be crushed, for history is the history of class struggle.
After having used racism, capitalism has now decided to play its trump card to divide the masses : Sarkozy.

[Prime Minister] de Villepin has decided not to call in the army (« We’re not at that point yet »), but intends to re-establish order by all means that the police can offer: « at ever step we will take the necessary measures to re-establish order very quickly throughout the nation. »
To do this he needs a curfew, so that the police should have the means necessary to act like a military force and treat civilians like enemies.
The three-month extension of the State of emergency is proof that the long march to people »s power has begun.
It is also proof that those who did not dare open their mouths prior to the State of Emergency do not want a protracted people »s rebellion, a revolutionary long march.

At the occasion of the 10th birthday of People’s War initiation in Nepal, Prachanda granted an interview to the reactionary newspaper “The Hindu”, which published it on February 10.

MWSR: What is the proletarian conception of the universe ?
In the world today, revolution is confronting counterrevolution.
In the imperialist centers, everything is monitored and calmed down, neutralized by the pressure put on the masses in order to isolate the revolutionnaries; the organizations having upholded that "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" have been hunted down and annihilated, militarily and ideologically, in a very accurate way in order to avoid any spreading.
In a press statement on April 22, Prachanda did say that :
"In the historic period of today, when people's republican movement has been marching towards its climax, our party again appeals specially the soldiers of "royal" army and police to display real patriotism by standing on the side of the people and against the national traitor & feudal butcher. The feudal butcher's defeat and people's victory is imminent and assured."
At the occasion of the 10th birthday of People's War initiation in Nepal, Prachanda granted an interview to the reactionary newspaper "The Hindu", which published it on February 10.
Prachanda explains there at length the new positions of the CP of Nepal (Maoist), which go against Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, as Prachanda himself recognizes : "We feel we have contributed to the ideological development of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism."

The moment is historical. Will Revolution dare to triumph?

The majority of scientists consists of researchers who, having neither a sense of life, nor of truth, can only work in the shadow of officially recognised principles: we cannot ask them to recognise a fact that is not “given,” but that has to be created.
