CPI(Maoist) and the Filipino Party too uphold this basic premise. I am surprised someone would compare Prachanda Path with Khrushchev revisionism. The Nepalese Party is still on wielding de facto state power in the red areas. The have not dropped the gun.

This conception is the same as Kruschev preached before. CPN(M) claimed that it has made a “qualitative leap in the concept regarding political and military strategy and tactic established in the 20th century.” Any student of Marxism knows for a qualitative leap the contradictions must be changed. This is the fundamental principle of dialectical meterialism. Although they are saying high sounding words, remained silent on contradictions. Nobody can make qualitative leap in conception, unless the objective condition is qualitatively different, which means new contradiction must have taken place the older one. Before claiming a qualitative leap in conception, they must show which contradictions have been ceased and which contradictions have arised during this period. So called “Technological boom”, “scientific boom” are not the answer. Has the contradiction between imperialist and oppressed people of the world changed? Has the contradiction between capitalism and working class in any capitalist country ceased? Has the contradiction among imperialism ceased? Has the contradiction between imperialist-comprador bureaucratic bourgeois-fudalism and oppressed people of a specific country changed? Then what would lead the “qualitative leap in conception”? Wishful thinking to cease the contradiction between imperialism and oppressed people?<BR/><BR/>Therefore, their “conception”, their “knowledge” comes not from the material, but from the idea. On that basis they are changing established Marxist-Leninist strategy and tactics. They are not the follower of dialectical materialism. They are following subjectivism. Idealism. And they are trying to safeguard themselves by the name of Com Mao. Now it is quite clear that to put forward their own idea named “Prachanda Path”, to take the freedom of changing established line, they have changed the guiding ideology from “Marxism-Leninism-Mao thought” to “Marxism-Leninism-Maoism”. <BR/><BR/>When capitalism reaches its highest stage, imperialism, the guiding ideology had been developed from Marxism to Marxism-Leninism. When imperialism enters its phase of total collapse, the guiding ideology becomes Marxism-Leninism-Mao thought. Maoism couldn’t be the ideology as there has been no qualitative change in the fundamental contradictions. They have been deepened and ensures the victory of neodemocracy in all the semi colonial-semi fudal type neo-colony. And it was the line of CPC (in brief) under the leadership of Com Mao. <BR/><BR/>RIM promoted the concept of Maoism and this whole concept is associated with denouncement of Stalin. So, it is no wonder, they are teaching “class coalission” now. <BR/><BR/>Down with revisionism.<BR/><BR/><BR/>A3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29380678.post-1154088846093963202006-07-28T17:44:00.000+05:302006-07-28T17:44:00.000+05:30Dear Com,Did you see the contents of the latest is...Dear Com,<BR/><BR/>Did you see the contents of the latest issue of EPW? It is not yet online, which will be so within a couple of days; it is a special issue on Indian Maoists. But as far as I could make out from the 'legacy' of the authors and short abstracts of the articles, almost all of them indulge in the same old "preaching", except I think one. <BR/><BR/>Against all these, I think what is important at this juncture for our comrades is to expose the political economic relevance of the Maoist practice. I know there is a grave tendency of anti-intellectualism in our ranks, but this cannot do. Only "Red Book" won't do. We must not be religiously marxist/maoist. We must always remember theory and practice must go together. Why our practice/armed struggle is relevant today, at least where our base is strong? why parliamentary indulgence is reactionary at this juncture? All these are not questions of revolutionist rituals, but scientific understanding. No form of politics is in itself revolutionary in Marxist sense, it must be the need of the ground reality - a reflection of the need to break the frozen ground of exploitation and oppression. <BR/><BR/>Why not start with critically analysing these articles in epw? We can at least reconcretise our ideas by confronting and reflecting upon the arguments in these articles. This will be a great service to Indian Maoism. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>A2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29380678.post-1154023407219975812006-07-27T23:33:00.000+05:302006-07-27T23:33:00.000+05:30ComradeI understand your point of view.Maybe you s...Comrade<BR/><BR/>I understand your point of view.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you should write a letter to <BR/>Mr Govindan Kutty editor peoplesmarch elaborating your point of view in detail ?<BR/><BR/>he can be contacted at<BR/> <BR/>peoplesmarch@gmail.com<BR/><BR/>He is always receptive to readers letters and responsive to feedback.<BR/><BR/>And if the editor sees merit in your arguments maybe he will forward it to the right people in the CPI(maoist).<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>StalingamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078894557167898375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29380678.post-1153938947825646542006-07-27T00:05:00.000+05:302006-07-27T00:05:00.000+05:30sorry, comrade, you confused the first "anonymous"...sorry, comrade, you confused the first "anonymous" with the second one. At least I will never call CPI(Maoist) names as A1 does. The question is to understand the difference in the "concrete situation" and "concrete analysis". And we all have the tendency to generalise from our own experiences. The great Maoist tradition in India is definitely a lesson for global revolution. The question is to understand the locus of the two movements in diverse political economic situations. And it was definitely wrong to preach Indian Maoists on the basis of Nepali developments. Such preaching is absurd. Can Indian government and the "official" leftists have interim government with the Maoists? This preaching is simply to crush the great struggle waged by the poor peasantry, landless and indegenous communities against Indian reckless neoliberal "capitalist" development. The problem with comrades in India is that they have wrongly designated the significance and character of their own struggle providing the opponents a definite space to such preaching for their accomodation. The Indian stage of revolution is not anti-feudal, but it is anti-capitalist, since comrades are struggling in the areas crucial for raw materials, cheap labour for mining etc, for the development of Indian capitalism. Apparent feudal forms that exist in some places are meant to use the old superstructure for new political economic needs. Hence, the anti-capitalist character of Indian Maoism. If they were vocal about this character of their movement no one could have dared to preach them anything, because they are already spearheading a movement whose demand the present system in India can never satisfy. And the anti-imperialist tenor of our movement in India should be first directed against Indian capitalism itself which controls the societies in our subcontinent through export of capital, through its armed forces - through all the aspects of imperialism as characterised by Lenin. I hope comrades try to use their Marxism to understand very clear facts and statistics about Indian reality, without losing their energy in bickering about apparent "primitive forms", "submission to US iterests" etc. It is not submission but collaboration. I would have loved to elaborate on all these points, but spontaneous writing that too in English is too cumbersome.

The reason I find this so hard to believe is that they for so many years fought against any such compromise, in impossibly hard circumstances, at the risk of their lives. Have they suddenly become cowards? My fervent hope is that these pronouncements of Prachanda's are necessary propaganda, and the revolution in Nepal will be carried through by the CPN(M) this year or the next.Himselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341655345306219440noreply@blogger.com
