 Fraternal Message

“Strengthen the ideological unity of the ICM !”

Fraternal message to the 9th Congress of the CPI (M-L) [PW]

 (excerpts from Com. Okan’s  speech)

 

Comrades,

On behalf of Central Committee of the TKP/ML, we greet with communist enthusiasm the 9th Congress of your party CPI (M-L)[PW], the delegates of the Congress and the representative of the fraternal Party, CPN (Maoist), who have not left our comrades alone on such an important date. Your present congress has a great historical significance.

While your Congress represents the historical heritage of the Naxalbari armed peasant revolt in May 1967 that stood up against both the local and the reactionary-fascist rule and the parliamentary reformist, it must also be able to look at this experience with a critical and scientific point of view in order to see its shortcomings.

Your Congress also means the continuation of CPI (M-L) line founded under the leadership of comrade CM on 22 April 1969 and the 8th Congress that was held in May 1970. Your Congress represents the joint heritage of the erstwhile CPI (M-L)(PW) that was established in 1981) and the erstwhile CPI (M-L) (PU) in 1983. Your Congress strengthens the union of two Maoist forces that united in August 1998, an event that has a huge importance for the future of the Indian revolution.

Your Congress is taking place in a period when the imperialist bourgeoisie, revisionism and all turncoats that have parted from Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, yell out in a joint chorus that socialism is dead. We nevertheless strongly believe that the CPI (M-L) (PW), the vanguard of Indian proletariat, a valuable member of International Communist Movement (ICM), will successfully complete its Congress despite the heavy repression and the all round attacks by the fascist-reactionary Indian ruling classes. This success will be a success both against the Indian fascist dictatorship and against the imperialist bourgeoisie.

On this historic day, we commemorate all the martyrs of world communism in the name of comrades Mahesh. Shyam and Murali. And we once again pledge that we will carry, with great honour, the red banner that they left to us, to final victory. We will unconditionally fight against all anti-MLM lines and distortions, and we will make the enemy pay heavily for our fallen comrades.

The petty bourgeois opportunists continue to serve the ideological attacks of the imperialist bourgeoisie and to spread the ideological views of the bourgeoisie among the working class. These forces have developed bourgeois liberal thesis such as imperialism has changed, as a result of globalization, the proletariat will no longer be able to lead the revolution, etc.

We, Marxists-Leninists-Maoists know very well that those who waver after a defeat will attack MLM first and then give in to bourgeoisie ideology. These people will revise Marxism in the name of defending it, will render Marxism harmless to the bourgeoisie, and ideologically disarm the proletariat.

The class-conscious communist parties of the world belonging to the proletariat have rich experiences in the struggle against the imperialist bourgeoisie and all anti-­Marxist-Leninist-Maoist ideologies that disguise themselves under Marxism. The International Communist Movement must draw valuable lessons from these experiences and continue to march forward on its glorious path. Because the future will belong to the international proletariat and oppressed peoples of the world.

Neither socialism has died nor MLM ideology has come to an end against the attacks of the monopoly bourgeoisie. On the contrary the developments in the imperialist world continues to prove the validity of the science of MLM ideology.

The collapse of the socialist states one by one and the defeat of the world proletariat and peoples of the world against the imperialist bourgeoisie are temporary defeats. Those who attach a progressive nature to imperialism and its rotten system are deeply mistaken. Millions of oppressed and exploited people will soon or later break their chains of slavery and throw the exploiting classes into the dustbin of history.

The MLM parties are trying their utmost to maintain and strengthen ideological and organisational unity of the ICM despite the fact that the international proletariat's temporary defeat creates a serious ideological crisis.

One of the most important issues for the ICM today is to strengthen the ideological and organisational unity of the ICM. to defend the principals of MLM against anti-MLM tendencies and to turn these principals into a material force in the struggles of the masses. This means each Communist Party is to advance, and strengthen the class struggle in their respective countries and to accelerate tile war against the bourgeoisie and other reactionary ruling classes.

The unity of the ICM depends on the advance of class struggle in each respective country and the intensification of the solidarity based on this struggle. With this point of view in mind, the struggle waged against all anti-MLM tendencies nationally and internationally will be more advanced and strengthened.

In order that the ICM fulfill its historically important task, our efforts, especially the joint efforts and contributions of the serious Maoists forces are needed. The work that your party has been carrying out on the basis of strengthening the ICM has especially advanced in the last few years. The task is to take this even further and reach a higher level in all fields. Through this the manipulation of the exploited and oppressed millions by the imperialist bourgeoisie and its ideology can be prevented and firmer organizational relations will be built with the masses.

The red banner that waves on the highest mountains of the world will surround the whole of the world. This frightens the bourgeoisie but not the toilers. The world Maoists forces must respond to this process by paying importance of experiences and the advance of the people’s war in their respective countries.  

It is doubtless that only by insisting on MLM science and paying huge costs can this huge and historic task be fulfilled. We are hopeful that the world Maoist forces will succeed in this huge but difficult task taking their fraternal friends with them and organizing these friends alongside organizing themselves.

Our Party, on behalf of the working class and the toiling masses of Turkey, greets the revolutionary struggle of the working class and toilers of India, through your party. The Central Committee of the TKP/ML and the entire rank and file of our Party, greets the Congress of our fraternal party, the CPI(M-L)[PW], with communist enthusiasm and wishes the Congress be fruitful and that all discussions be done in warm comradeship.

 We are confidant the debates and discussions at this Congress will achieve a higher level of unity and understanding, which will contribute to fulfilling the hopes and the aspirations of the working class and toilers of India and that of the international proletariat and the world's oppressed peoples, whose responsibility lies on your shoulders.

We are confident that the ideological struggle will be waged keeping in mind the needs of achieving and preserving unity of thought, unity of action and unity of discipline.

 The TKP/ML and people of Turkey and Turkish Kurdistan will be shoulder to shoulder with your party, the CPI (M-L) [PW], and the people of India from the different nationalities and minorities. Once more, we salute all delegates of the Congress, the representative of the CPN(Maoist), the Red Fighters and all the comrades who have toiled to make this Congress a success.

Glory to the 9th Congress of the CPI(ML)[People’s War]

Workers of all countries and oppressed people of the world unite!

Long Live Proletarian Internationalism !

Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism !

Long Live People’s War !
