Excerpts:
Letter
from the Communist Party of Afgahanistan
The following are excerpts
of a letter to the Committee of the RIM from the Founding Congress
of the Communist Party of Afghanistan - AWTW
Before the
Congress four documents were prepared by the provisional leadership
of the ORCA, circulated and debated within the ranks; these included
three programmatic position papers (concerning the ideological and
political foundations, the programme for New Democratic Revolution,
and strategy of People's War) and the constitution of the Party.
During four months of discussions around these documents, the final
draft of the Programme and the Constitution of the Communist Party
of Afghanistan were prepared to be submitted to the Congress for
approval.
Although
during this period the readiness of the organisation to take the
responsibility of forming the Party had increased to a great degree,
we decided to hold a final discussion around the degree of this
capability in the Congress itself. Active and vigorous participation
of the comrades in the Congress and discussions around the documents
indicated that the organisation has acquired the capability to take
the responsibility of forming and announcing the Party. When the
Congress reached the point of discussing this issue, other issues
had already been resolved and the congress unanimously called itself
the Founding Congress of the CPA.
Then the
comrades stood up and put their hands on the Programme and Constitution
of the Communist Party of Afghanistan. They recalled the past, the
martyred comrades, and felt the heavy weight of the painful memories
of the preceding period and of the great task that had fallen on
their shoulders, and at the same time imagined beautiful dreams
and the fulfillment of longings and aspirations. These feelings
pressed their hearts, made their shoulders tremble, twisted their
throats and made their eyes overflow with tears. And in this atmosphere
vows were made in a sober and deep tone to fight thoroughly and
to the end for communism.
Joy and
pain, love and hatred, memories and longings were intertwined and
for hours kept the comrades in an exuberant mood. Thus the vanguard
proletarian party was born in Afghanistan, rich with the science
of revolution, the rock-hard conviction of the communist revolutionaries
and the beautiful colours of the highest aspirations of the new
human beings. We congratulate all.
Comrades,
the CPA is a new product of the struggles of the international communist
movement and is in the service of its advance. The ideological and
organisational beliefs and convictions of the CPA have made it a
detachment of the world army of the Revolutionary Internationalist
Movement. We firmly believe that you will assist this new-born detachment
and will try to arm it further.
Long
live Proletarian Internationalism!
Long
live the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement!
Victory
or Death!
The
Founding Congress of the CPA May 1st 1991
August 1, 1991
