Message to the Third Congress of the Proletarian
Party of Purba Bangla (PBSP)
From the
Committee of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement
Dear Comrades,
On the occasion of this important congress of the Proletarian Party
of Purba Banglar, the Committee of the Revolutionary Internationalist
Movement extends its warm revolutionary greetings.
Your Congress is taking place at an important juncture in world
history. U.S. imperialism has declared its intention to impose a
"New World Order", but actually great disorder and turmoil exists,
and the crisis of the world imperialist system is deepening.
The imperialist bourgeoisie in the USSR and other East European
countries has finally abandoned the red flag behind which they tried
to conceal their ugly capitalist nature and which they had been
soiling for almost forty years. The imperialists and reactionaries
have launched a frenzied and boisterous campaign to pronounce the
"death of communism". This self-serving lie must be refuted in theory
and in practice, in ideological struggle and on the battlefield.
Our red flag is flying high in Peru, where our comrades of the Communist
Party of Peru have been leading the people in waging protracted
people's war. Participating parties and organizations of RIM, in
the imperialist citadels as well as in the oppressed countries,
are preparing to hoist the red flag in their countries in a revolutionary
war of the masses. Throughout the world, proletarian revolutionaries
have their eyes on Bangladesh and your 120 million people, which
represent an important contingent of the world revolution. The world
is pregnant with revolution, and we know the day is not far off
when the people of Bangladesh will play their full role as gravediggers
of the world imperialist system and midwives of the new communist
society.
Comrades, the people of Bangladesh, and most especially the workers
and peasants, suffer tremendous hardship and deprivation. Hunger,
malnutrition and preventable disease are the lot of the great majority
of the masses. Natural disasters repeatedly take a monstrous toll.
The reason for this inhuman state of affairs is the three great
mountains of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism which
weigh heavily on the people of Bangladesh. Only the new democratic
revolution led by the proletariat can succeed in eliminating these
mountains, liberate the country and open the door to socialist revolution.
In the countries oppressed by imperialism such as Bangladesh, the
basic point of reference for the elaboration of revolutionary strategy
and tactics is the teachings of Mao Tsetung, developed in the course
of long years of revolutionary warfare.
Mao taught that the revolution in these countries will take the
form of a protracted people's war, in which the revolutionary armed
forces wage struggle mainly in the countryside, build revolutionary
base areas step by step, and prepare to capture the enemy's strongholds
in the cities.
This war is a war of the masses. It is the form in which the worker-peasant
alliance is formed under the leadership of the proletariat and its
party; it carries out the agrarian revolution; it fulfills the slogan
"Land to the Tiller" in a revolutionary way; it thoroughly eradicates
the scourge of feudalism and uproots the basis for imperialism and
bureaucrat capitalism in the countryside as well as the city. In
this process, a broad united front is built under the leadership
of the proletariat.
Comrades, the PBSP has a long history of over twenty years of revolutionary
struggle. During this time many comrades have given their lives
for the liberation of Bangladesh and the cause of communism, including
Comrade Siraj Sikder, the founder of the Party, and we join you
in honouring the memory of these martyrs. A great deal of precious
experience, positive and negative, has been achieved through sacrifice
and struggle. Your Congress has the heavy responsibility of correctly
summing up this experience on the basis of Marxism-Leninism-Mao
Tsetung Thought in order to facilitate the initiation of people's
war in your country. In this process of summing up past experience
and charting the road ahead, we are sure you will make full use
of the experience of the participating parties and organizations
of RIM, especially the advanced experience of the Communist Party
of Peru in initiating, sustaining and leading toward victory the
People's War in Peru.
Comrades, in the past several years the PBSP has undergone savage
attacks by the reactionary enemies. Yet the blows of the reactionaries
have only strengthened the resolve of the Party to overcome all
obstacles and fulfill its responsibilities. You can count on the
support of the Committee of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement
as you boldly and carefully prepare the next stage of the struggle.
Long
Live the PBSP!
Long
Live RIM!
Bangladesh
Will be Crimson Red!
Rid
the World of Imperialism!
Long
Live Communism!
