Intervention by PCm Italy at the Hamburg Conference -4.12.2010
Comrades,
first, we are happy to meet with the parties and organizations attending
this important International Conference.
The work of our party with the PCP and the MPP is long term, it is a
common way to serve the revolution, the establishing of Maoism and the
construction of a new Communist International, and this conference is an
opportunity and a step in that direction.
We bring you the salute of the workers building the Communist Party of
Italy Maoist (PCm). As Maoists, in this moment we are engaged in class
struggle in our country, from where good news come.
On 16 October, the workers staged a large demonstration in Rome
demanding a general strike against the owners and the government. On
this occasion the proletarian communists of the PCm Italy took up the
call of workers and challenged the reformist leadership of the major
Italian unions.
In recent weeks in Italy we assisted a real explosion of the struggle of
students and youth. The Parliament was besieged, the gate of the Senate
attacked by a large mass of students, there were blocks of the train
stations, highways, occupations of universities and schools. A wind of
rebellion demands the withdrawal of the reactionary reform of the
education as well as the anti-worker, anti-popular, modern fascist
Berlusconi's government.
The young people of Red Block, generated organization of the PCm Italy,
are at the forefront of this movement in Palermo and send their warm
greetings to all comrades who attend this international Conference.
(Applause)
This advance of the mass movement created good opportunities for the
Maoists to advance in the winning advanced workers and rebel youth so
they actively participate in the construction of the Maoist Communist
Party of Italy, for a new beginning of the people's war.
The focus of the conference is urgent, arduous and complex, and
difficult to implement. The RIM, embryonic centre of a relevant part of
the MLM parties and organizations within the ICM, amongst them in the
front line the parties and organizations leading the People's War in
Peru, Nepal Turkey – in India the RIM member organization is unified in
the CPI (M), which now leads the people's War in that country - and the
contingents fighting to build MLM communist parties in the world, is
experiencing a deep crisis. Stagnation has become a position of
liquidating the RIM, nobody claimed the liquidation, but for years the
RIM has not came out of the crisis.
The whole ICM has suffered with this very serious recession, because the
RIM is not a forum for discussion, not a vehicle of mere coordination of
parties, but an embryonic centre to unite the genuine Maoists and
communists and a step forward in building a genuine Communist
International. This step can not be or should be liquidated. Today we
need a further step that should draw on the positive and negative
lessons of our Movement. The history of RIM has lasted many years. After
the fall of the Cultural Revolution and the death of Chairman Mao, the
work of RCP US to bring together all parties and organizations refusing
to liquidate the communist movement inspired by Mao Tse Tung was very
important. The RCP US has the merit of this successful work, which led
in 1984 to the International Conference that founded the RIM on the
basis of his Declaration.
The Conference was the result of an agreement between the three main
participating parties, from US, Turkey and India. The Conference
established a common basis of RIM – the Declaration – and made the
decision to form a Committee of the RIM (Corim), not as the leading
centre of the world revolution, but to allow all the parties to join,
participate, make advance the struggle and internal discussion also
through an international journal - A World to Win (AWTW) - and to
organize international campaigns.
Unfortunately, a few months after the Conference, the organization from
India left the Corim and then dissolved. The participation at the RIM
and the support of the Declaration by the party of Turkey was
oscillating and finally it was not able to go on with the work of Corim.
This allowed and created the conditions for which the RCP US had a kind
of monopoly in the Corim. This monopoly had serious effects on
relationships between the member parties of the RIM and negatively
affected their internal functioning; it did not allow the full
participation and debate that could turn the provisional unity provided
by the Declaration into a steel unity.
However, thanks to the decisive role of the PCP and the People's War in
Peru, under the powerful guidance of the Gonzalo thought and chairman
Gonzalo, in the RIM the establishing of Maoism advanced. The strength of
Maoism prevailed through the advance of people's war in Peru. The
statement "Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!" is the result of this
situation.
In the years following the declaration "Long Live MLM", RCP US developed
in the Corim and generally in the RIM, along with a hegemonic attitude,
an understanding of Maoism that is not revolutionary, a line that in
practice undermines the Maoism.
In this context, the struggle within the RIM became very sharp, but the
method of this struggle was not correct, it was not informed by an open
and transparent two lines struggle.
The relationships between the Corim and the parties and organizations of
our Movement became difficult, trends were formed which were not based
on the two lines struggle, but aimed to build "friend parties" and paper
parties and organizations. Against this, the consequent Maoist parties
and organizations found difficulties in advancing their positions.
The capture of Chairman Gonzalo became a crucial step for the RCP US in
reversing the course of Corim. With the line of "investigation", the ROL
was given support and a contribution was given to the attack on the
People's War in Peru and the PCP, in the phase of bend on the road.
In our movement there were rebellion and struggle against this position
and the various parties developed different understanding. However, with
the initiation and development of people's war in Nepal, the advance of
Maoism and People's War did not stop.
These two factors created conditions for the Enlarged Meeting of Corim,
where the left, the red fraction represented at this meeting by the PCP
and the newborn, in the same year, PCm Italy, developed a sharp
struggle. This meeting brought about a political setback for the right
of RIM, represented by the RCP US, and a new document: "For a century of
people's wars...".
At the same time, the creative application of the People's War in Nepal
brought further advances and useful lessons for our Movement. No
people's war may be the same as another: the principles are similar but
application must be consistent with the reality of each country, it must
be a dynamic application in theory, politics and action.
But even the people's war in Nepal was not good for the Corim,
particularly for the RCP US. They opened fire against the people's war
in Nepal, stabbed in the back that people's war, as at the time of the
detention of Chairman Gonzalo and the bend on the road had stabbed in
the back the people's war in Peru led by the PCP.
Therefore there was a phase of maximum difficulty and confusion in our
movement, up to the complete emergence in the recent years of the
opportunistic, revisionist and, in some features, even reactionary
nature of the approach of Bob Avakian, now called "New Synthesis", to
which is added objectively the develop of revisionist positions in the
leadership of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).
All this has resulted in the current collapse of the RIM. We cannot
resume with the reconstruction of the RIM, for a second step forward,
without a summing up and a radical critique of current revisionist
tendencies of different nature, but identical in effect, represented by
the New Synthesis of RCP US and the revisionist positions in the
leadership of UCPNm in Nepal.
The Maoists in the RIM should raise the red flag, advance in a very
difficult process of reconstruction, because it requires that the
Maoists forces within RIM and also those MLM forces out of the RIM reach
a basis of agreement for a new International Conference.
An International Conference is not only a call from a party to all other
parties and organizations. An International Conference requires an
agreement, a compromise based on the establishing the Maoism and the
need to build a centre of unity of the MLM today, it demands the unity
of parties and organizations that are in the RIM with MLM organizations
and parties that, for different reasons, are outside.
This work is now at the beginning rather than conclusion. There are no
conditions for convening a conference of this type. New parties play an
important role in the current situation, in particular the Communist
Party of India Maoist with the People's War in India. A new
international conference, a new step can not be thought without the
effort for the presence of CPI (M).
Therefore for us the work is more complex than the PCP and conferences
held by MPP pose. It is not a criticism of the action and positions of
PCP, or the work of MPP, but the considering that the problem can not be
solved that way. In the way to the International Conference we need that
each party does its work and makes its contribution.
To establish the Maoism, the ongoing people's war and promote new
people's wars, to mark and clearly delimitate the current revisionism in
our movement are two important bases to move in that direction. But we
need also to discuss through bilateral meetings, seminars to deepen
these issues, in order to reach an agreement on the need of organizing
this new International Conference.
The International Conference which gave birth to RIM was the result a
years-long work. The same Conference of 1984 lasted many days, days of
struggle; no one had a common position on many points. The group of
Italian Maoists who participated then - of whom we are the followers -
did not agree with some positions of the parties participating in the
Conference on points of strategic relevance. It was a difficult job of
mediation and synthesis that led to realize the historically determined
mixture that that allowed the step forward represented by the foundation
of the RIM. Our work today requires a process of the same type, adapted
to current conditions and past lessons.
The other important problem in this way is to establish the universality
of the people's war, that today means to establish the people's war in
the imperialist countries.
Currently in the RIM only the PCm Italy and the PCP endorse the line of
the people's war in the imperialist countries. Out of the RIM, the RCP
Canada and MPC France support this line. The other MLM parties and
organizations within and outside the RIM do not agree with this line.
We believe that there is no chance to advance if it does not advance
also the flag of the universality of the People's War, if it does not
advance also the organizing parties for the people's war in the
imperialist countries and the new beginning of the People's War in some
of them.
Our party can not wait for the Conference to establish within the
general line of ICM, the ideology, theory, politics, practice and
organization of people's war.
That is why our party has already begun working on our country and
internationally, with comrades from France, Spain, Canada, to advance in
the line of the People's War in the imperialist countries. It is in this
context that are set the international meetings promoted by us in Paris
on the uprising of the banlieues, on the nature of modern fascist
imperialist governments in countries like France and Italy, on the
summing up of the experience of the Maoists in the imperialist countries
in the French May and the Gauche Proletarienne in France. Through this
work we make our contribution to establish the Maoism in the imperialist
countries, to reach an International Conference, along with and in
accordance with the PCP and all parties and organizations seeking to
establish Maoism and the universal way of people's war, to reconstruct
the RIM as a second step towards a new Communist International.
This work today has a new magazine - Maoist Road - that we realize
together with parties and organizations that share this need.
This work includes the support of the people's war in India, as a Maoist
flag, with an international campaign that is part of the battle to
establish the Maoism.
We believe that through this work, complex and structured, we will
contribute to the tasks specified in the appeal of PCP.
For a new International Conference, let's work all together!
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
People's War until communism!
