To the Communist Party of Afghanistan
Comrades,
It is with great joy that we have received news of the formation
of the Communist Party of Afghanistan on May 1st 1991.
At a time when the imperialists, both East and West, are loudly
trumpeting the so-called "death of communism" it is of
great significance that revolutionary forces of Afghanistan, who
have been fighting over a decade against the Soviet sponsored Kabul
regime, have boldly proclaimed Communist ideology and their intention
to fight together with their sisters and brothers in every continent
for the communist goal of a world without exploitation and oppression.
The history of Afghanistan, in particular in the past twelve years
since the Soviet invasion of that country, has shown that the masses
of people will never stop struggling against injustice, oppression
and exploitation. But this same history has also shown that without
correct leadership there is no liberation and the sacrifices of
the people are inevitably manipulated by class forces who seek only
to replace one form of exploitation by another.
The struggle in Afghanistan is vivid proof that only the proletariat,
the class with no interest in any form of oppression or exploitation,
can unite the people based upon the alliance between the workers
and the peasantry, only the proletariat can help the people see
clearly the shape and features of the enemy _ both open and disguised,
only the proletariat can direct blows squarely against the reactionary
target and lead the people in waging a real people's war to victory.
In Afghanistan, as elsewhere, the leadership of the proletariat
means the leadership of a vanguard party based upon the ideology
of the proletariat _ Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought.
Although the Party is newborn, its very foundation results from
long years of armed revolutionary struggle against imperialism,
feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism and an equally fierce struggle
to master and apply Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought and to
defeat the bourgeois and opportunist lines within the revolutionary
ranks.
The formation of the Communist Party of Afghanistan opens a new
page in the revolutionary struggle in that country. It means that,
in the battles to come, the proletariat and the people will be fighting
under their own flag and for their own interests, and will be doing
so as part of a worldwide army of gravediggers of imperialism and
reaction.
For these reasons we are proud to count the Communist Party of Afghanistan
among the participating parties and organisations of Revolutionary
Internationalist Movement.
