On the 28th of May this year, Nepal became a republic after 240 years of monarchy. This momentus occasion was the result of ten years of People’s War fought by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN (M)) and the people’s movement it led in April 2006. The events of the last 12 years have been a continuous revolutionary process. The declaration of the republic is only the latest stage in this process, albeit a very important one. The next stage of the revolution will come when the people, (more…)

Democracy and Class Struggle says the decision of the CPN Maoist not
to form Government given the new Anti Maoist Alliance of the CP UML,
Nepali Congress and MJF reflects the new realities in Nepal where the
counter revolutionary forces in Nepal have re-grouped.

The siren call of the Nepali Congress for CPN Maoist to form
government is nothing but a rope for the CPN Maoist to hang itself
with.

Arjun Narsingh of the Nepali Congress says.

“We still believe and want the Maoists to form and lead the new
government. That was our earlier decision and we stick by it,”
Narsingh said. “We will not be an obstacle for them in this matter.”

The CPN Maoist rightly ignores such siren calls and should
concentrate on exposing the new alliance of the bankrupt parties and
their new government to build on its popular support registered in
the Elections.

The CPN Maoist Programme cannot be implemented under current political
conditions of the new President and Vice President.

Therefore exposing the opportunists of the CP UML and Nepali Congress
and MJF is the task of the hour so that the CPN Maoist can sweep the
remainder of the CP UML, the Nepali Congress and their new found
Madhesi partner the MJF from electoral office over the days,months
and if necessary years.

The People of Nepal want democratic change but the “Unholy” Alliance
does not.

The political landscape in Nepal has changed and the CPN Maoist has
to adjust its strategy and tactics to fit that terrain.

We want to call your attention to a major political change that has happened in Nepal — the (not-so-surprising) congealing of the various reactionary parties into a “stop the Maoists” alliance.

India: Maoist rebels begin urban push
ASIAN AGE, London edition.
By Sanjay Basak
New Delhi

June 10: Maoist rebels, who are now observing “Jan Pituri Saptah (revolutionary week)” in Chhattisgarh (in tribal belt in central India), have blown up power lines and disrupted communication links, targeting industries and power stations in the Abhujmar and Bastar regions and plunging much of the state into darkness.

A senior state police officer, in a telephonic conversation with this newspaper, said that the Maoists, who had declared a “parallel government” some time back, were now trying to move from the jungles to urban areas. The blast at Durg on June 8, in which three CRPF jawans were killed, and the attack on the Bishrampur police station “are clear signals that they are pushing towards urban areas,” he said. Comrade Sonu, a top Maoist central committee member, confirmed this. “If we fail to build our movement in the cities, the revolution will remain a dream,” he told this newspaper.

The police officer also said there were intelligence inputs that the Maoists were trying to teach Hindi to their Gondi-speaking “red cadres” from south Bastar as it was getting difficult for them to interact with Maoist leaders from Andhra Pradesh. The top leadership of the CPI (Maoist) is run by Andhra cadres.

Chhattisgarhs DGP Vishwa Ranjan told this newspaper that due to the Maoist-imposed blackout, the administration had arranged to supply at least six hours of electricity to affected areas. “We have moved 100 huge generators to give relief to people.” He also claimed adequate forces had been deployed to provide security to possible targets, including towers and transmission lines. “The Maoists are hitting soft targets,” he said.

The DGP said the state police was fully capable of handling the situation, and did not need help from the Centre. The so-called “soft targets” attacked by the Maoists included the Essar Steel Plant at Kirandul in Bastar. The Maoists had set the plant and 20 trucks inside on fire.

Last year, while observing the “Jan Pituri” week, the Maoists had plunged the entire Bastar region into darkness for almost a fortnight.

Morreu um comunista!
Francisco Martins Rodrigues morreu aos 81 anos na madrugade de 22 de Abril de 2008. A cremação realiza-se a 23 de Abril, pelas 13h30 no Cemitério do Alto de São João, em Lisboa. Militante revolucionário de longa data, foi membro do CC do PCP e viria a romper com o seu reformismo por altura da polémica sino-soviética, fundando a FAP e o CMLP, a primeira organização marxista-leninista portuguesa. Foi o primeiro a introduzir em Portugal de uma forma organizada as lições da revolução chinesa e o exemplo de Mao Tsétung. Preso várias vezes e barbaramente torurado pela PIDE, manteve-se ao longo de toda a sua vida do lado da Revolução e empenhado na organização de uma corrente comunista revolucionária. O 25 de Abril de 1974, apanhou o camarada “Chico” na prisão e os militares “democratas” do MFA tentaram mantê-lo preso. Só a forte vontade popular e grandes manifestações à porta da prisão o conseguiram libertar. Ultimamente foi o fundador e director da revista “Política Operária”.

Dear Comrades
Here is article 3 from Haghighat. It describes the party’s strategy of

combining the struggles of students and factory workers as part of a mass movement strategy.

Maoist 1

Article 3: from Haghighat, Number 11 – July-August 2003 (lead article)
Summation of Ninth July and Continuation of the Path Ten days of uprising by the students and people of Tehran and other cities in June left a new open political space. This ten-day movement opened the door to a promising period in the struggles of the people of Iran . The bold and sharp slogans of this movement demonstrated its political quality by becoming nation-wide, it expanded the people’s united front against the regime from the North to the South and from the East to the West. Its continuation for ten days showed the everlasting energy of the masses of the people and the conscious intellectuals for the struggle against oppression and injustice and for obtaining their rights and justice. Our land was ploughed and became more fertile. This movement started by the heroic students, led to a movement of the masses of people on the streets and in the allies, which was carried miles further on their shoulders. The people’s morale changed qualitatively. Now we are faced with such a morale that would be hard to silence with petty reforms of the political system or to satisfy by tailing the foreign forces.The summation of this period of short, concentrated and nation-wide struggle is extremely important for its further advance. This summation is political, as well as practical. The activists of this movement must recognise the strengths and weaknesses of the camp of the people, as well as the camp of the enemy, in order to advance this movement scientifically and to lead it in the direction of opening the gates of the bright future.
Ninth of July
Many were expecting that on the ninth of July the students and people’s movement would leap to a higher level. This expectation and hope was reflected in the slogans of the students and revolutionaries. People were safeguarding the links they obtained during the ten days of the June struggle in order to use them for dealing further painful blows against the rotten regime on that day. Although this did not happen, there were many inspiring small and large demonstrations all over the country. Tehran University was calm under the boots of the thugs of the Islamic Republic. However, there were many important struggles initiated by the university students in different parts of the country. The beginning of the student’s struggle on 10 June had an advantage over 9 July, which was the element of surprise. In fact, the Islamic regime was preparing itself way before 10 June, to prevent the anniversary of the 9 July taking place. The start of the struggle by the students before the anniversary, caught the regime by surprise. The students took the initiative and, by using the tactic of surprise against the enemy, caused an unprecedented uprising all over the country. But the anniversary itself lacked the advantage of the element of surprise. Apart from the lack of the element of surprise, it is important to be aware that it is the nature of mass movements that they advance in waves and with leaps and bounds. Its leaps cannot last for long periods. It requires rest and time to think about how to prepare for the next leap. “Thinking” is in the form of summing up and planning by the advanced, as well as discussions and analysis amongst the ranks of the people. In the periods of temporary lull or subsidence some become saddened and lose hope but the advanced use it as an opportunity to sum up, regroup those who think alike, join together and form cells and co-ordinate and plan so as to accelerate the course of the struggle. But the most important reason why 9 July did not turn into what was expected, was the repressive measures by the regime. The regime heightened its efforts and preparations many folds in order to prevent a massive eruption on 9 July. It showed its claws and teeth like a monster having its final writhe on its death bed. It increased its armoured vehicles in the streets and occupied the university and campus. It gathered and arrested student activists and militant youth and sent them to torture chambers and kept them there. After 9 July Rafsanjani at Friday prayers thanked “those people who care for Islam”, meaning their Ansar thugs, guard corps and security forces in civilian clothes. The regime relied on suppression and temporarily achieved a result. This was a many-sided suppression. On the one hand, the regime eradicated and closed the universities and in the towns paraded its military forces in order to terrify the people, and on the other hand, the Islamic Societies and the “Office of Consolidating Unity” began to distribute pain relief tablets to the student movement. The offices of the Islamic Societies forbade the students from joining the people and warned them as much as they could. The students of the Islamic Societies continuously called for the methods of struggle that would help to subside the people’s movement on the streets. For example, they picketed outside the UN office in Tehran and wrote a submissive letter to Kofi Anan, (Head of the UN), to come forward and tell Iran what to do! The Second of Khordad Coalition strongly feared the radicalisation of this movement, as the night’s uprisings began one of their theoreticians wrote: “Unfortunately this has become a mass movement”. (Quote from Majid Mohammadi from Gooya.com.) But the question was not just the actions of the Islamic Republic. The Western powers gave the green light to the Islamic Republic to impose repressive measures to prevent widespread popular uprising. Specifically, Colin Powel, the US Secretary of State, a few days before the 9 July announced that the US would not intervene in the internal affairs of Iran, and that its internal affairs are the concern of the Iranian regime. Also, Jack Straw, the Foreign Minister of the British Government, hurriedly travelled to Iran to show that his government is supporting the Iranian regime. Jack Straw emphasised that “Iran must sign the International Atomic Energy Agency Treaties”, wanting to show the Iranian regime that their differences had nothing to do with the Iranian people and to feel free to deal with the people, the point is not to put their [UK] interests in danger. These measures by the US and British imperialists are a sign that they are terrified of the masses uprising. The US is worried that they may lose control of the situation and before they can prepare themselves and build an alternative, the revolutionary forces might use this situation and that popular revolutionary organisations may form. The European countries have kept silent over the barbaric suppression and arrest of students and youth by the military and security forces, because they prefer the revolutionary and anti-imperialist forces to be crushed by the regime before it is toppled. The US had a scenario that was based on using the student movement and its links with the Islamic Societies and the monarchist forces in the US to channel people’s energy into supporting the US and, therefore, pave the way to impose a US built alternative. But they gave up this scenario, because they realised that the students’ movement in Iran has turned into a popular movement. Therefore, they lost their hope of transforming this movement into their stooge. They saw with their own eyes that the society is like an ammunition dump that could explode in such a way as to block all the roads for the reactionaries and imperialists. Such a fire could blaze, which could only be in the interests of an all-round revolution against the imperialists and all reactionaries. They realised that a large section of the students are no longer under the influence of the Islamic Societies, and that the masses of people, especially the youth under twenty, are exercising their power on the streets and do not serve any kind of god!
Weaknesses of the People’s Camp
The Islamic regime created important obstacles, but one must look at what were the limitations in the ranks of the people and anti-regime militants, which meant they could not break these obstacles? Amongst these factors one should seriously consider scatteredness, lack of organisation and lack of leadership in the ranks of the people and anti-regime militants. The people’s political movement lacks suitable organisation and leadership in order to be able to continue this movement and help to advance the political consciousness of the people. What is to be done for the present political movement to continue? The regime closes the universities, but when the political movement of the people has already begun, this action can completely go against the aims of the regime, because when they close the universities, the students go amongst the masses. This is excellent. The militant students can and must help the masses to unite and organise. In the June movement, the university played the role of caller. But with the closure of the universities, the militant students lost this position. Amongst the advanced of the movement, there is a question of how they can create centres and headquarters not dependent on the regime’s policies, so that whenever it decides it closes them? (Of course the Islamic Societies can still continue their activities, because they are governmental organisations. In fact, by giving open space for public activities to the Islamic Societies and suppressing the rest, the regime wants to force the students into activities within the framework of the Islamic Societies. But the militant students have realised this and have tried every possible way to get out of their containment and control.) Overcoming this deficiency depends on the militant students organising themselves in an underground organisation. For them to be in touch with each other and by night leaflet and nation-wide student links bring their calls to the masses. This is one level of forming stable organisations for continuing the political movement. As we have already said, “The leftist students must organise their own trend. As leftist and revolutionary students are under more brutal repression, they must do this with the utmost care and hidden from the eyes of the enemy…those students who want the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran in its entirety by the people must distance themselves from the pro-government organisations (Islamic Societies) and organise themselves.” (From Haghighat number 10, “Hail to the Student Movement”.) The formation of student cells from the militant students of all universities in every city and linking them together could create a mass organisation that could play a very important role in increasing the level of the political movement in Iran . One method of spreading and making the student movement more militant is to include the high school students into the movement. University students can play an important role in this field. Today, we witness that teenagers are an active force in the street battles. University student organisations must also include the high school students. Now that the political movement has spread amongst the masses, the question is how can we help people to form primary and anti-government organisations? People in many neighbourhoods are ready to rebel and struggle, but there is not any level of organisation to organise and co-ordinate their struggle. Committees or cells must be formed to pass on night leaflets and guidance in each neighbourhood. Apart from the univers
