Down with the
Imperialist World Order, Old and "New"!
Fight
for the Communist Future!

Statement by the Committee of the Revolutionary Internationalist
Movement
1st
May 1991
In the six week rape
of Iraq, the system which rules the world has again revealed its
dreadful nature. All the rulers' talk of international law and
democracy shows itself to be but the make-up behind which are
found the most hideous features. Their civilisation is founded
on the robbery of the many by the few and it is enforced through
violence. Their professed concern for "peace" is seen
to be nothing but a selfish desire to suffer no consequences while
raining terror and devastation down upon others.
The rulers of the
world, the imperialist ruling classes of a handful of advanced
capitalist states, believe that they can impose their will anywhere
on the earth - by their economic mastery of the world's wealth
or, when necessary, by their massive machinery of death and destruction.
The rulers of the U.S. believe that they can sit on top of this
pyramid of oppression and exploitation for "one hundred years".
But this assumes that the people will cower before their might,
that the slaves of this earth will give up their struggle against
the conditions of slavery. Furthermore, the enemy hopes that the
masses will forget that the imperialists have been defeated in
the past and that the proletariat has shown that it can lead the
people in constructing a wholly different society. The imperialists
of the West are seizing upon the collapse of the phoney-socialist
but real-capitalist East bloc as "proof" of the impossibility
of communism. However, it is the communist future of a world no
longer divided into classes and in which some nations no longer
feed on others which will prevail over the imperialist dream of
"a new world order".
By sucking the blood
of the labouring people the world over and by enforcing this set-up
with the sword, the imperialists compel the people to resist.
And when the proletariat and the people become conscious of the
source of their oppression and the means to eliminate it, the
resistance of the masses becomes the fight for revolution. Today
this is seen most sharply in Peru where, under the leadership
of the Communist Party of Peru, the people have successfully carried
out ten years of revolutionary warfare. Our comrades in Peru are
giving life to the slogan "Yankee Go Home!" as they
meet the increasing and more direct intervention of the U.S. against
the revolution with stepped-up warfare. In the mountains of Peru,
the workers and peasants are already constructing the new society
in the areas liberated from the reactionary regime.
Over the next period
the world will continue to be jolted. The imperialists, emboldened
by their massacre in Iraq, will continue to swagger about - and
we should be particularly alert for new attacks on the People's
War in Peru. The economic system will continue to lurch ahead
in one spasm after another. The political "stability"
of many countries will grow less and less steady. The imperialist
system is becoming increasingly intolerable for the majority of
people on the earth.
The path of revolution
is the only way out for the oppressed people in every country.
The "peaceful path" is worse than illusion - it leaves
the masses defenceless before an enemy that has shown again that
it will not hesitate to resort to any crime.
For a long time, the
revisionist/capitalist rulers of the Soviet Union and Eastern
Europe masqueraded as "communist" and tried to confuse
the people. Now the true nature of revisionism is clear for all
to see. In order to defeat our enemies - imperialism and the reactionary
regimes dependent upon it - it is necessary to build a vanguard
party based on Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought. Without such
a party the sacrifices of the people will be wasted, victory cannot
be achieved, and the masses cannot come to power and embark on
creating the new world.
