CLASS STRUGGLE-New Organ of CPI [ML]

‘Class Struggle’ from now is the new central organ {English} OF CPI (ML) in place of ‘Red Star’ as per central committee decision. The change in name of the organ is effected from February, 2009 following dissociation and desertion of a section of Central Committee members including two Delhi based editors of the former organ’Redstar’.

‘Class Struggle’ according to the present arrangement will be published monthly from AP.

Of late, distortion of and deviation from the accepted ideological and political line of the party became evident in many of the contents of various issues of Red Star. The views expressed in the contents are non-proletarian that only serves in bolstering up our enemy- besides giving birth to a lot of confusion and misconception about the political line of our party CPI (ML), in the political circles as well as among the people.

‘Class Struggle’ will cope with the new situation.It will combat the problems from ideological point of view with the greatest determination  by propagating and projecting truly the Marxist views and stand of the party of all issues both national and international and thereby help dispel misconceptions about the general political line of the party.

In the process, it will explain to the people the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal line of the party that champions the proletarian cause, in the simplest, clearest and most convincing manner enabling the party to have stuck deep roots in the mass of the people-a task not performed by ‘Red Star”.

At the same time as a Marxist organ it will combine with this assigned party task-the responsibility of carrying forward, in the words of comrade Lenin, “tireless and steadfast advocacy of “the only consistent, the only relentless overt and covert ideological assaults by the imperialist as well as revisionist and anarchist camps.

Let us hope that ‘Class Struggle’ would rise up to the occasion and perform in right earnest its role in preserving, strengthening and expanding the unity of the party achieved through Unity Conference held in Vijayawada in 2005.
