WE MUST CARRY ON THE FIGHT AGAINST THE TWO HARMFUL TRENDS.
CPI (ML).
In the sphere of revolutionary strategy and tactical line, various revolutionary groups have adopted in their documents basically the path of struggle against imperialism, comprador bourgeoisie and feudal classes. They agree that the armed struggle is the only way to overthrow the present system. At the same time, they have differences on the question of translating it into practice. Not only this. All had gone into practice in their own way and are continuing their practice. They have to review their respective practices on the basis of ideology, historical experiences, their own experiences and an accordance with the dialectical method and evaluate what is the correctness and what is the incorrectness in their practices.
Our Party has begun this process. We had evaluated the history for 1969-1972 period. We may have to evaluate the later period as a continuation of this. Importantly, the question we encountered is, how the revolutionary movement should have applied the path of armed struggle to the objective and subjective conditions of that stage and time. Once the path of armed struggle was adopted, the question it faced was how to make the preparations for it. With this, the revolutionary forces stood divided into various groups and sections.
The question of adopting the path of armed struggle and its application were distorted. The theories distorting Marxism-Leninism-Mao's thought were brought to the fore along with such comments as 'supporters and 'opponent's of armed struggle. As a consequence, the revolutionaries were affected by deviations on many questions. Rather than debating the issues ideologically, the organizations, mainly the individuals, were sought to be branded and with this, the atmosphere was charged with emotions. The forces which considered the left deviations as a thing that must be worshiped and above criticism had gained an upper hand. Pointing out left deviation and even making criticism against it were turned into a matter to be afraid and a sensitive issue. The argument of holding the weapon and falling victim to enemy's atrocity had swallowed the question of deviation from Marxism-Leninism-Mao's thought. In place of ideological debate, it was brought to the fore as a sensitive issue.
The differences persisted in an acute form on the questions like the struggle against imperialism internationally, the struggle against the capitalist system and its reactionary political, economic and cultural policies, the struggle against the reactionary, exploiting systems of various countries and in formulating the necessary guidelines for the same.
Imperialism is the main enemy of oppressed people all over the world. The differences and deviations also arose on the questions, how the struggle be carried on and is being carried on against it in the semi-colonial countries, capitalist countries and in the countries ruled by the imperialist puppet regimes.
Various kinds of confusion created by the international revisionist theories about the danger of imperialism are yet to be fully overcome.
The revisionists are concealing the fact that capitalism had reached to the level of imperialism in Soviet Union or had fully became a capitalist system. Would the Indian revisionists agree that capitalism was restored instead of carrying the socialist revolution forward in Soviet Union? Or are they in a state of agony and directionless, considering it as a bad dream? We the Communist Revolutionaries, must make a deep analysis of this problem. We can not remain satisfied just with the view that they are revisionist parties.
The struggle against revisionism and capitalist roaders went on in the Chinese Communist Party at one level or other for the three decades. Finally, the capitalist roader gained the hegemony. There is need for the Communist Revolutionaries to make a deep analysis of this.
There is a need to give an analytical explanation to the question, how the reactionary or retrogressive forces have gained an upper hand over the progressive forces in the course of social transformation concerning the peoples democratic system – socialist system – communist system and in the course of struggle between the opposing forces. We must not be complacent towards this question.
