I copied it to text file and it comes up to 77 pages! <br /><br />And this reply reveals a lot of Maoists' wrong understandings. I will point out only two (out of my cursory reading).<br /><br />This reply says: "In course of world revolutionary movements two revolutionary paths emerged. One is insurgency waged by Com. Lenin in Russia and another the Protracted People’s War led by com. Mao in China." <br />This is a wrong understanding of Leninism among Indian communists. Both CPSU leadership under Stalin and CPC leadership under Mao were mum and helpless before this kind of dogmatic understanding. Path is developed by objective conditions and not predefined one. Marxism is defined as concrete analysis of concrete situation. So Marxism necessitates reaching at the uniqueness of each situation. Otherwise it is abstract analysis. And Leninism stands for 360 degree of flexibility of tactics, no dogmatic positions like 'illegal is right' or 'participating in parliament is wrong', etc, etc. Creating mutually excluding dichotomy between Chinese path and Russian path is because of not having comprehensive grasp of the ground reality in India.<br /><br />Secondly, the Maoists criticizes the CPI before 1947, as if it the legacy of it is entirely of present day CPI and CPM. I can't understand this. The name of the party of Maoists also includes 'CPI'. We must understand that the CPI is the party organized by the call of Comintern or Third International, whatever limitations and drawbacks it had. They are part of the history. Negating the legacy of of CPI till 1964, and CPM from 1964 to 1968 amounts to negating Lenin, Leninism and Third International. The urge for 'purity' from revisionism should not force you to call yourself bastard. Only thoughtless people will do such mistakes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
