The Significance of the Refoundation of the Maoist Movement in Pakistan
August 12, 2010
A Statement to the Seventh National Congress of the Pakistan Mazdoor
Kissan Party
From the General Secretary of Revolutionary Initiative
With our fists raised as high as our hopes for the future of the
Pakistani revolution, Revolutionary Initiative, a
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist pre-party formation in Canada, offers a red
salute to the comrades convening the August 2010 7th National Congress
of the Pakistan Mazdoor Kissan Party (Pakistan Workers and Peasants
Party).
We understand that the 7th Congress will mark a return of the PMKP to
the Maoist origins of the party, as established by its founders Major
Ishaq Mohammed, Afzal Bungish, Eric Sperian, and Ghulam Nabi Kaloo in
the 1960s.
The new program of the PMKP will effect a decisive break with the
pseudo-alternatives currently being presented to the people of
Pakistan: the perpetuation of a backward semi-colonial, semi-feudal
society maintained by the pro-imperialist military and civil
bureaucracy, comprador bourgeoisie, and feudal ruling elite; versus
the equally backward social program offered up by the Taliban of
Pakistan. By breaking with the revisionist Left, which looks to U.S.
imperialism for enlightenment through its brutal "War on Terror", the
PMKP is setting a course to truly rally the peasants, proletarians,
and the progressive petty-bourgeois elements to the anti-imperialist
cause. Further, by exposing the program of the Taliban as fascism in a
different form, the PMKP has truly placed itself at the vanguard of
all the toiling masses in Pakistan.
Pakistan's lackeys to the imperialists and the Taliban only appear to
be irreconcilably opposing forces, but in practice they are two sides
of the same coin. The world will never forget that it was U.S.
imperialism, during the course of the Cold War, which helped create
the Taliban with the unwavering support of the Pakistani state. Due to
the Pakistani ruling classes' subservience to U.S. imperialism, the
vast majority paid a steep price for the maintenance of the country's
incredible state of economic backwardness. Today, this relationship
has brought only new sufferings, with U.S. imperialism raining down
drone attacks upon the heads of Pakistani civilians.
With a population of 170 million people, 48% of Pakistan's labour
force is involved in agricultural production. About 55% of the
country's population possesses no land at all. The vast majority of
people in the countryside are exploited by landlords, usurers,
merchants, and the religious institutions. As the PMKP's new draft
program reads, it is the semi-colonial aspect of Pakistan's
countryside that remains the "main obstacle to the release of
productive forces and the progress of our country". This is what makes
the heavily exploited and oppressed peasantry the "main force in the
peoples democratic revolution carried out under the leadership of the
proletariat." It is these conditions that make Pakistan ripe for
People's War. If the Maoists do not lead the struggle of the people,
the Islamic forces will continue to prevail in their reactionary
mobilization of the masses in their pseudo-opposition to U.S.
imperialism.
The floods that are currently ravaging Pakistan, bringing great misery
and dislocation to as much as 10% of the population and claiming
thousands of lives, could be easily mitigated by a socialist society
which places all the productive forces of society in the hands of the
workers and peasants. It is our hope that the floods do not derail the
plans for the 7th Congress, but if they do, we know it will be because
of the urgent need for the revolutionary vanguard to serve and guide
the people in a time of great hardship. It is inevitable that the
imperialists and the reactionaries in Pakistan will use the
catastrophes to strengthen their legitimacy and order, just as the
imperialists and reactionaries have done in Haiti with the great
earthquake there in January 2010.
In addition to the great consequences that the rise of the Pakistani
Maoist movement will have at the domestic level, the Pakistani
revolution would also affect historic transformations at the regional
and world levels. Regionally, the revolution in Pakistan would carry
the revolutionary tide sweeping South Asia deeper into the Muslim
world, breaking the monopoly of the clerical fascists in the struggle
against imperialism, which they do not fundamentally oppose and do so
in appearance only for their own opportunistic and self-aggrandizing
purposes. At the world level, the rise of a revolutionary communist
tide in Pakistan would deal a blow to the ideological basis of the
imperialist 'War on Terror'. In the Western imperialist countries,
Muslims are being scapegoated to divert the rest of the masses from
the true geopolitical and economic interests of the NATO bloc of
imperialists: to plunder the world, exploit the toiling masses, and
gain the upper hand in the inter-imperialist competition with the
other imperialists and regional geopolitical rivals, especially Russia
and China. The masses in the West are blackmailed into supporting the
imperialist war of aggression in Afghanistan through the spectre of
Taliban rule. But we know that the war against the Taliban, a war on
domestic reactionaries and exploiting clases, can only be the class
war of the toiling masses, not the imperialists. The world was
reminded of this on May 1st, 2010 when the PMKP rallied and marched in
North-West Frontier Province for the support of the revolution in
Nepal (click here for youtube footage).
We look forward, comrades, to the great feats that the people of
Pakistan will achieve under the leadership of genuine communists
guided by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and we will show the masses in our
country that the people of Pakistan are our friends and comrades, and
that they strive for genuine democracy, for socialism and for
communism, just like ourselves.
If the PMKP, alongside our comrades of the Shola Jawid (Communist
Party Maoist of Afghanistan) and Sarbederan (Communist Party of
Iran–Maoist), successfully organize and arouse the masses for national
democratic revolution by way of anti-imperialist People's Wars in
Central and South Asia, genuine communists all around the world will
rally to your cause, learn important lessons from your struggle, and
promote them amongst the proletarians of their home countries.
If the PMKP holds fast to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism after the convention
of the 7th National Congress, deeply uprooting the revisionism of the
past decades, and boldly applies MLM to the conditions of Pakistan,
then a glorious future lays ahead for the people of Pakistan and South
and Central Asia. The era of imperialism is the era of world
proletarian revolution. In this phase imperialism's strategic decline,
the phase of the second great crisis of capitalist imperialism that
has plagued the world since the early 1970s, the conditions for
proletarian revolution are inexorably improving.
Finally, this message of solidarity would not be complete without our
own organization clearly identifying Canadian imperialism as a leading
enemy of the people of the world, including the people of your
country. A leading player in the occupation of Afghanistan and NATO is
Canadian imperialism, the basis of which is Canadian monopoly-finance
capital. As the imperialist war in Afghanistan more and more spills
over into your country, your connection to the Canadian proletariat's
revolutionary struggle deepens more and more.
The proletarian youth who are being sent to Afghanistan only to return
to Canada in body bags are also the victims of imperialist war, but
they must be driven from Afghanistan just the same. The ruinous war in
Afghanistan sets the basis for revolutionary agitation amongst the
soldiers, no less than the Korean War and the Vietnam War radicalized
whole generations of youth and soldiers in the West.
Together, let us hasten the movement towards socialism and communism
on a world scale before the imperialists drag us further into a
hellish world of war, avertable disasters, ecological catastrophe, and
the day-to-day grinding exploitation and oppression of capitalism.
Red salute to the PMKP for taking up the banner of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
Onwards with the People's War in Pakistan!
From Canada to Pakistan, long live the international proletarian revolution!
