In the following we document the preliminary english translation of the speech held by the Revolutionary Front for the Defense of the People’s Rights of Brazil at the international celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx. Final revision is pending. The orgininal can be found here.

Comrades,

It is with immense joy and sense of duty that we from the Revolutionary Front for the Defense of the People’s Rights of Brazil greet this grand event that shows the validity and th fortress of marxism in the occasion of the 200 years of the birth of its founder Karl Marx. And this joy is even bigger because of the possibility of doing so in his homeland.

One of the most important lessons that Marx and Engels left was proletarian internationalism. We can only accept and realize revolution on each country as part and in service of the world proletarian revolution. We are continuers of the historic, and glorious, tradition of the Communist international and we should never forget it.

Chairman Mao said that “internationalism is the spirit of communism”, and Chairman Gonzalo completed it saying: “one can not be communist if not thinking of communism”. We must understand these great truths and assume all the responsibilities that comes from this.

I would like to use this occasion to greet the comrades that for an year valiantly faced and defeated the reppression on the streets of Hamburg, during the imperialist summit of G20. Great struggles of July! Great victory of the German proletariat! Great victory of the International Communist Movement! The right, both the open one and the one disguised as “maoist”, had to feel this defeat.

The definition of combating hard was successfully fulfilled, what proves once more what Chairman Gonzalo taught us: every time the communists struggle in their way, the reaction can not defeat it. The reaction trembles when see the masses marching in the streets, and the masses made the reaction tremble under the leadership of the communists not only in Europe, but in the whole world.

Another point I want to highlight and do so in the name of the organization: we condemn with force and class hatred the coward aggression the comrades under the leadership of the Committee Red Flag suffered in Berlin. We repudiate this grouping – Jungenwiderstand – rightist and liquidationist. And we are certain that they will soon have what they deserve. We reject not only them but also the hardened revisionists that from the shadows handle these puppets. However, we learned from Chairman Mao that is good when an enemy attacks us, it is even better when it attacks furiously.

There is a certain sign that we are on the correct road! We are on the correct road, in the “shining path” of the world revolution and from it we will not take a single step away. We must combat revisionism inseparably from imperialism and we have been doing so yesterday and we do so today, and will keeping doing so tomorrow.

Now, comrades, I would like to share something from Brazil with you. First I will make a brief description of the political situation and then will speak about the revolutionary movement.

Latin America is going into a great social convulsion. One by one the governments of opportunism were unmasked in front of the masses and removed from their profitable posts by their true bosses: the local ruling classes and imperialism, principally Yankee. The local economies  depends directly from the exploitation of primary products, especially commodities and the fall of prices of these goods in the last years have generated grave crisis, not only economic but political. Specifically in the case of Brazil, since the great demonstrations of 2013, we live a scenery of great and growing instability. Revolts against the government have being hatching in the city and in the countryside. Recently a strike of truckers has completely stopped the supply of the country, generating great disturbances. On the metropolis like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo the unemployment and inflation greatly multiplied misery and the number of people living on the streets or in favelas.

The only answer of the reactionary state have been repression, as it could not cease to be. Last year, 60 thousand people were murdered in Brazil, half of them by the police. Only on Rio, this year, the police and the armed forces murdered 400 people. Is an ongoing genocide, a reactionary civil war. Beyond this Brazil had the third biggest prisoner population of the world, almost totally composed by the poor youth, who lives in the favelas.

On the countryside, the policies of concentration of lands and selective murder of leadership goes on, especially from the Poor Peasants League, who against all difficulties uphold the great banner of the agrarian revolution. The revolutionary situation develops in Brazil and the preparatives for a military coup in  the country marches, as part of the bigger Yankee intervention in South America.

However, and this is the principal, this situation coincides with the advance of the mass struggle in general and the revolutionary movement in particular. For 23 years that our leaders have acted without day offs to reestablish the Communist Party of Brazil; as an authentic marxist-leninist-maoist party incorporating the contributions of universal validity of gonzalo thought. We faced very hard situations, especially when the false left was in the government with Lula and apparently there was “stability”.

We never lower our flags and now many who did not hears us before gives us reason. During all these years we have educated cadres, militants and masses on the combat to revisionism and on revolutionary violence. We are paying the blood price, especially in the countryside and also countless processes and arrests but we did not take a single step back. And, the most important: the communists forged a solid leading nucleus and a proven great leader that leads it.

On the countryside, millions of peasant masses marched led by the proletarian vanguard. In a way that the worsening of the political crisis in Brasil, I repeat, coincides with the reestablishment  of the Communist Party, generating the extraordinary conditions for the unleash of the invincible People’s War. People’s War that will take place as part and serving the World Proletarian Revolution, as taught to us by Marx, Lenin, Chairman Mao and also Chairman Gonzalo, the biggest living marxist-leninist-maoist living on Earth and to whom we render homage from this tribune.

In a word, comrades: the path has zigzags but the perspectives are brilliant; nothing is impossible in the world for those who dare climb the heights!

Revolution will inevitably triumph!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
Long live the bicentenary of the great Marx!
Long live the new wave of the world proletarian revolution!

Revolutionary Front for the Defense of the People’s Rights, Hamburg, June 2018.

In the following we document the prelimiary english translation of the speech of the comrades of the Red Fraction of the Communist Party of Chile held at the international celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx. The final revision is pending. The Spanish original can be found here.

Proletarians of all countries, unite!

The Red Fraction of the Communist Party of Chile brings the communist greet to each one of the comrades that are reunited today to celebrate the 200 years of the birth of the founder of our scientific ideology, the great Karl Marx.

We reaffirm ourselves in the scientific ideology that Karl Marx founded and in the internationalist slogan and chant that after 160 years still propagates firmly and strongly in all corners of the world: Proletarians of all countries, unite! It fills us of pride to have been part of the joint actions the comrades of numerous corners of the world of the planet made to raise this slogan with flag hoisting acts and actions in honor to our first proletarian great leader.

These actions and this celebration is magnificent, but we also want to express that we consider that the best way to celebrate the great Marx is by following his example and applying his legacy.

Since Marx and Engels joined efforts, their restless work indeleble brought the internationalist seal and had to overcome all kind of difficulties to give birth to the science of the proletariat, the sole scientific ideology. Their work gifted the international proletariat with a mission, a program, defined common means and tasks to defy its class enemies.

It was by following this example and applying this legacy that the great Lenin, great leader of the glorious Bolshevik Party, and both great leadership and party, heading the deep and broad masses of Russia, later achieved victory of the proletarian revolution in October 1917, immediately establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat and opening the path for the socialist construction and raising marxism to a new stage, turning it into marxism-leninism.

Soon it was Chairman Mao, the great helmsman, as the great leadership of the CPCh who led the proletariat and the people in the revolution and reached other two milestones: the Chinese revolution and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which through fragor and in struggle against contemporary revisionism raised marxism to a new, third and superior stage: maoism. Maoism is the new third and superior stage of marxism. To e marxist today is to be marxist-leninist-maoist.

Today we communists have magnific conditions to continue the task initiated by Marx. The international situation of growing disorder is presented as most favorable to make the world proletarian revolution decidedly advance. The condition of hegemonic superpower of the yanke imperialism and the reach of its dominion increasingly turns against itself. But at the same time the current situation of thr International Communist Movement is characterized by the dispersion on the fields of ideological, firstly and principally, as well as in political and organizational field.

We have maoism, but the task to put it as command and guide of the world proletarian revolution is in the current agenda. Its fulfillment requires constitute or reconstitute militarized communist parties, propel the ongoing People’s Wars and unleash new People’s Wars on all countries.

This is why in this celebration of the 200 years of the great Marx, the maoists in Chile greet the ICM by expressing that we are decided to fulfill the task of reconstitute the Communist Party that our great leadership Luis Emilio Recabarren founded in 1922 and of initiating the People’s War in our country. We will make it on the base of the application of marxism-leninism-maoism and the contributions of universal validity of gonzalo thought. We also reaffirm in the internationalist task of contributing to the unity of the maoists in a United Maoist International Conference that serves to prevent the risk that our isolated efforts are punished with the common defeat, according to what Marx warned us in the opening manifesto of the Workers International Association.

We greet the People’s Wars in India, Peru, Turkey and Philippines. We greet the parties and organizations that carry on forward the reconstitution of their parties and the preparatives for new People's Wars. We greet the world proletariat and the peasantry, the main force of revolution in the oppressed nations.

Long live the 200 years of the Great Marx!
Proletarians of all countries, unite!

In the following we document the english translation of the speech held by the comrades of the Maoist Communist Party of the French State to the international celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx.

Comrades,

The Maoist Communist Party of the French State is honored to participate in this great international celebration for the 200 years of Karl Marx. We send our thanks to the organizers of this day, and we send our warmest greetings to all Marxist-Leninist-Maoist organizations of the oppressed and imperialist countries and their heroic masses.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the working class emerged as a class in its own right. After various bourgeois revolutions that shook the world in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Marx and Engels analyzed the rise of this class and especially its historical role. They thus demonstrated that the bourgeoisie had gone from a progressive class (through its role in the abolition of feudalism) to a reactionary class, which could no longer be the driving force of social progress. This revolutionary historical role was now in the hands of the proletariat. Marx, supported by Engels, laid the foundations for the scientific ideology of the revolutionary proletariat. These bases are in philosophy the dialectical materialism which constitutes the point of view of the proletariat in its analysis of the world, with the discovery of the fundamental laws which govern human history; in political economy the discovery of the nature of capitalist exploitation and the contradictions of the capitalist mode of production ; in organization, tactics and strategies of struggle of the proletariat, the construction of the first International, the Manifesto of the Communist Party and drawing lessons from the Paris Commune of 1871 - take political power by violent revolution and use the dictatorship of the proletariat to achieve a classless society. This set is what is called Marxism, the first stage of the revolutionary ideology of the proletariat.

« The weapons used by the bourgeoisie to defeat feudalism are now turning against itself. But the bourgeoisie has not only forged the weapons that will put it to death: it has also produced the men who will handle these weapons - the modern workers, the proletarians. » Manifesto of the Communist Party.

Later, Lenin developed Marxism at a higher stage during the experience of the revolutionary movement in Russia and in the international struggle against revisionism. Lenin thus analyzed the development of capitalism as being at its highest stage : imperialism. He developed the necessity of the new-type Party, the Communist Party, as an indispensable tool for the revolution. He then concretely realized the dictatorship of the proletariat on the scale of an entire country, the first proletarian revolutionary practical experience at this level. The echo of October Revolution throughout the world unified the struggles of the oppressed peoples and the world proletarian revolution. The Communist International has been formed. These developments, among others, constitute Marxism-Leninism, the seond stage of the revolutionary ideology of the proletariat.

After Lenin's death, Stalin continued the construction of socialism in the USSR under difficult and previously unknown conditions and led the masses of the USSR to victory against the Nazis in the Second World War. He has worked extensively for the recognition of Marxism-Leninism as a revolutionary ideology of the proletariat.

Finally, Mao Zedong, during the long revolutionary struggle for the seizure of power in China, for the construction of socialism, in the struggle against modern revisionism and in the struggle against the restoration of capitalism, developed Marxism-Leninism in a higher stage. Mao developed the three components of Marxism - philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism.

Mao also theorized the development of the three instruments for the success of the revolution : the Party, the United Front and the People's Army. The Party is central and it is always the Party that commands the rifle. Mao Zedong initiated and directed the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution which was a great leap forward in the exercise of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Hundreds of millions of people have risen up to overthrow capitalist leaders who have emerged in the socialist society and who have been particularly focused on the leadership of the Party itself (such as Liou Chao-chi, Lin Piao and Deng Xiaoping).

Mao led the proletariat and the masses in their confrontation with the leaders on the path of capitalism to impose the interests, the point of view and the will of the vast majority in all areas which, even in socialist society, had remained the preserve of the exploiting classes and their way of thinking.

The great victories won during the Cultural Revolution have prevented the restoration of capitalism in China for a decade and have led to great socialist transformations in the economic base as in education, literature and art, scientific research and the other areas of the superstructure.

Under the leadership of Mao, the masses have turned back the old humus that breeds capitalism - such as bourgeois right and the three great differences between city and country, between workers and peasants, and between intellectual work and manual labor.

The Cultural Revolution was conducted as an integral part of the proletariat's international struggle and was a school of proletarian internationalism. The Communist Party of Peru has affirmed that Maoism forms the third milestone of Marxism, it has elevated Marxism Leninism maoism, mainly maoism as an international ideology of proletariat. Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is a living ideology, it is a guide for action, it is the ideology of the proletariat, making it possible to understand society from its point of view as a class with a view to transforming it. The development of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties and organizations in the world today, including in the imperialist countries, is a testament to its timeliness, vitality and relevance in facing the revolutionary challenge we face.

Since the 1970s, in the imperialist countries, capitalism has undergone major resstructurations : that is the capitalists of the dominant countries have begun to modify and reorganize the production tool - factories, transport and companies in general. This has led to a decline in the living conditions of workers in general, to a stabilization of management classes and to a rapid enrichment of the bourgeoisie, which is still more powerful. It also depleted the proletariat and destroyed many social links, by multiplying so-called "atypical" hours (night hours, staggered hours, Sunday work ...). There is a real desire to atomise the proletariat by individualizing wages, dismantling large production sites to favor subcontracting, new management techniques and precarious contracts : breaking the class unity of the proletariat was a necessary objective for the bourgeoisie to continue to maintain profit rate by deepening the exploitation.

This is also paid for by the masses of the oppressed countries, who are suffering French imperialism, ever more violent and more aggressive at a time when inter-imperialist contradictions are sharpening for the redistribution of the world.
The contradictions of our society are hardening : the masses are moving. There can be no oppression without resistance! That is why the Maoist Communist Party was founded : For giving the masses a fighting tool as effective as possible, to serve the people in these difficult times, to try to build a headquarters of the Revolution capable of sweeping away this system that proletarians doesn't want. Communists will, in the period that open in front of us, go into the people, learn the struggles of the proletariat and strengthen their instruments of struggle.

The actual crisis  leading imperialism to be more and more aggressive. The installation is felt both inside and outside. Inside, a preventive counter-revolution and a militarization of society are needed to prepare and promote the war abroad. The state of permanent emergency is a perfect example : the rights of justice are reduced, and those of the repressive arsenal are greatly increased.
While the war in Libya was a disaster for the Libyan people, it is now in a Syria ravaged by inter-imperialist conflict that the bourgeois government has decided to reinforce its intervention alongside Donald Trump and Theresa May. In the partition-repartition of  Mashrek between rival imperialists, France isn't ready to miss its chance. In spite of course of oppressed nations, ravaged by a carpet of bombs.

Elsewhere, it was during the visit to Burkina Fasso that the French government showed its true face. In an oppressed country where industry, banking and services are almost entirely owned by French capital, Emmanuel Macron behaved like a real colonist, not hesitating to make fun of President Burkinabe Roch Kaboré and insistent  on the fact that France was going to strengthen its grip. Faced with Burkinabe students questioning him about the presence of French soldiers on the soil of Burkina Faso, he didn't hesitate to answer them that they owed only respect to the French army.

France is today the third arms dealer in the world, among these lucrative contracts concluded by French imperialism there is for example that concluded with Saudi Arabia. In an impassioned joke, Minister Florence Parly even allowed herself to say, speaking of the weapons used by Saudi Arabia during the massacres in Yemen, that "Weapons weren't made to be used." to serve. The imperialist government does not hesitate to sell arms to the ultra-reactionary government of Saudi Arabia, nor to the fascist government of Modi in India, which has sent a million and a half soldiers, police and militia to wage war against its own people and the People's War led by the Maoist Communist Party of India. While everyone sees the tension rising between India and its Pakistani neighbor, selling arms to an expansionist country is criminal. The crimes of imperialism are numerous, but we will not be able to name them all. During his visit to India where Macron re-affirmed its proximity to the reactionary regime of Modi, he also made the perfect sale representative of Areva by advancing the possibility of selling nuclear reactors to India. French imperialism is thus reinforced, as the Indian example shows, by the exploitation of resources, as does Lafarge, but also by the trade of nuclear reactors and Rafales, french avitation fighters.

While the Macron government, which ran as "neither right-wing nor left-wing" in the presidential elections, was already sowing doubt by its reactionary composition (former opponents of marriage for all, ultra-reactionary remarks about women and immigrants), the Macron government appears more and more as a "hard" right showing the real Macron project that had already been widely previewed in the presidential elections.

While the condition of proletarian women is getting worse, with the rise of different forms of unemployment, the more overwhelming weight of domestic chores and the increase of social violence, which affects them mainly, no action has been taken by this government. On the contrary, Emmanuel Macron didn't hesitate to present himself alongside reactionary Bishops and to say to them his vows to renew the link between Church and State. The president's racist and paternalistic statements about the suburbs and the proletarian masses of immigrant origin are also noteworthy. The increase in the cops power, and the violence they inflict on the masses of working-class neighborhoods, is clearly visible.
Finally, it's a very reactionary government who's in  the head of the state : and this is normal, since the bourgeois system can not do anything more progressive, its only way of governing today is to appeal to ever more reactionary forces, hence the inexorable rise of fascism.

However, the masses don't give upand raise their heads as for example during the rebellion of the suburbs of 2006, and the great social movements of the last year. Outside French metropolis, in the Myotte colony, general strikes multiply. This massive resistance is an example for us, an example for all those who want to advance in the resistance. The economy crashes, destroying the profit of the exploiters of the bourgeois imperialist and its comprador allies.
This resistance, which starts from the proletariat and extends into the masses, sees its opposite grow with it : the repression becomes more fierce and the fascist organized bands begin to structure themselves, to serve as the armed arm of the reactionary government - which they claim struggle against.

In this situation, the communists can only take part in all the fighting, without ever falling into purism, dogmatism or blind following. If the masses make mistakes and learn in the fight, it's exactly the same for us. We first learn about these fights. We learn that everywhere there is oppression, there is resistance. We learn the methods of action. We also learn what are the embryos of popular power in the masses.

The contradiction between the imperialist system and the popular masses, between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, hardens, becomes ever more visible and ever more violent ; only revolution can really change the situation of the proletarians and all the oppressed people.

Lenin says, in The Tasks of the Proletariat in Our Revolution, that « There is one, and only one, kind of real internationalism, and that is—working whole-heartedly for the development of the revolutionary movement and the revolutionary struggle in one’s own country, and supporting (by propaganda, sympathy, and material aid) this struggle, this, and only this, line, in every country without exception.»

Long live Marxism Leninism Maoism, mainly Maoism!
Long live the struggle of the heroic masses!
Let's develop the three instruments of the revolution!
Long live Karl Marx!

In the following we document a preliminary translation of the speech held by the comrades of the Committee for the Construction of the Communist Party of Galiza at the international celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx. Revision is pending. The Spanish original can be found here.

Comrades:

Receive a warm red greeting from the members of the Central Committee of the Communist Maoist Party – Galiza. We want to begin this intervention with two greetings, the first one to the comrades that made this successful celebration possible with their work, and the second to the rest of the present organizations and parties in this vigorous campaign for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx.

For us it is a glimmer of pride to participate in this great celebration.

The bourgeoisie and its lackeys of all kind had declared “the end of history” and other rotten theories that negates that the class struggle is the engine of history. They have declared Marxism and communism dead. The old and new revisionists do the same, the first ones empty the revolutionary content from it, the second ones like Avakian and the renegade Prachanda considers it obsolete.

Nothing is more false, comrades! Marxism changed the history of humanity, leading it to the epoch of the proletarian revolution and it develops in struggle, becoming Marxism-Leninism and afterwards a new stage: Maoism.

This is the truth history teaches us! Our history, which is the history of the oppressed and the exploited that from the Paris Commune, to the Great Proletarian October Revolution, to the Revolution of New Democracy in China and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution led by Chairman Mao, led Marxism-Leninism to a new and superior stage, Maoism, that today commands the truly revolutionary processes in the world through People’s War from Peru to Philippines, from Turkey to India. Because, comrades, all triumphant revolutions had been work of men and women that hoisted the red flag of communism.

We must not forget!

There are no true revolutions if they are not based in the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Chairman Mao, in Communism. The bourgeoisie and its lackeys can go on trembling in front of the specter of Communism because the proletariat and the oppressed masses will be their gravediggers, leading human kind to a new model of society free from exploitation and oppression. And we owe all this to Karl Marx, teacher of teachers, and today we celebrate with great joy the 200th anniversary of his birth.

Eternally lives Karl Marx!

Long live the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx!

Long live the father of scientific socialism!

Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism!

Long live the glorious revolutionary People’s War that the maoists of the whole world command!

Long live the Proletarian World Revolution!

In the following we document a preliminary translation of the speech held by the comrades of the Communist Party of Turkey / Marxist-Leninist at the international celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx. Final revision is pending. The German original can be found here.

Eternal glory to the great teacher of the international proletariat - Karl Marx!

We commemorate the founder of communist ideology Karl Marx in 200th year of his birth. Long live Karl Marx!

Marx was as Lenin said: “Marx was the genius who continued and consummated the three main ideological currents of the 19th century, as represented by the three most advanced countries of mankind: classical German philosophy, classical English political economy, and French socialism combined with French revolutionary doctrines in general.”

As a result of exploitation, oppression and the policy of war by the barbaric, capitalist-imperialist system the working class and the poor peoples of the world are subjected to misery, destruction and poverty. The continued competition of the imperialist enterprises and anarchy of production are triggers of the crisis. The capital sparks wars in the struggle for markets in which they murder, force in even deeper poverty and force to flee millions of oppressed. Marxism says: “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” (Manifesto of the Communist Party, 1847) and therefore found the key to the destruction of the power which leads the laws of this maze and this chaos. Namely he showed the theory of class struggle and opened this road!

Marx did not just show how liberation can be achieved. He also showed the international proletariat with his words “The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism of the weapon, material force must be overthrown by material force; but theory also becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses.”(Introduction to Critique of Hegels philosophy of right, 1844) that only the role of violence in history is mandatory and can change it.

Marxism is not just a theory. It is the directory of the proletariat in class struggle. It is a revolutionary weapon in the hands of the class conscious proletariat against all who want to deviate the revolutionary struggles for socialism and communism from their path, against all who want to poison the working class and the oppressed masses with their  revisionist and opportunist thoughts and who oppose or cover up the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat, therefore against all pessimistic, “peaceful” and “class”compromising bourgeois currents. Marxism did not stay limited to the teachings of Marx. It has developed in class struggle of the proletariat and for the political power through the unique contributions of Lenin and Chairman Mao in to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. If today one does not opine Maoism, one can not understand Marx and therefore it is impossible to lead the struggle for political power of the proletariat. We experience the excitement and honor to celebrate the 200th birthday of Karl Marx with a Marxist-Leninist and Maoist understanding and advance determinedly on the path of socialism and communism. The invincible teacher of the working class,  the theoretical leader of communism ignited  the struggle against the capitalist system with his work “The Capital”. He is alive in the struggle which is waged by the working class and the oppressed peoples for socialism and communism!

In his 65th year Karl Marx developed dozens of scientific works. First of all “The Capital”. The teachings of Karl Marx on his 200th birthday show the road of struggle in the struggle of humankind for a classless, borderless new world without exploitation.

We as the organization of the communists from Turkey and Turkey-Kurdistan. The Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist-Leninist consider Marxism-Leninism-Maoism the directory in our struggle for revolution, socialism and communism in Turkey.

 “The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Proletarians of all countries, unite!” (Manifesto of the Communist Party, 1847)

Long live the teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao Zedong!
Long live the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat!
Long live Marxism-Leninism and Maoism!
Long live proletarian internationalism!

In the following we document the preliminary translation of the speech held by the comrades of the Committee Red Flag from the FRG to the international celebration. The final revision is pending. The German original can be found here.

Proletarians of all countries, unite!

Dear comrades of the Communist Parties and organizations,

Dear comrades from the revolutionary movement of the FRG,

Dear friends,

The Committee Red Flag salutes you in the name of the proletarian vanguard in formation that struggles for the reconstitution of the Communist Party of Germany. We salute the efforts you have made to be able to attend this great international celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx. We salute the decision, firmness and the high combativity with which you have carried out actions and activities in the different countries and also in the FRG, as part of the international campaign that we culminate today. We consider that the campaign was a celebration worthy of the founder of the International Communist Movement, Karl Marx. It was a campaign that showed in front of the world, once more, that we maoists are the continuators of his work, that Marx belongs to those who struggle to transform the world from its deepest roots, to the fighters of the world proletarian revolution, to those who are for Communism, and not to those who traffic with his great figure to defend exploitation and oppression; Marx does not belong to the revisionists and opportunists. All the actions and demonstrations have shown this and had a concentrated expression in the central action of the campaign that the fighters of the international proletariat carried out in Trier. On the one side, “the celebration” of the German state, of social democracy, of opportunism and revisionism, together with the Chinese revisionists, the heads of this monstrosity that is Chinese social-imperialism, who erected a statue of a sterile Marx, “great” but impotent, of a dead icon. On the other hand, we maoists, who against the German state, under the nose of its police apparatus, hoisted the red flag with the hammer and sickle, the banner of the People’s War, the banner of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the banner of Communism. This whole campaign have been like this, a defying cry that sums up in one phrase all the truths of marxism: REBELLION IS JUSTIFIED!

This international campaign did not fall from the sky, has not been the result of a spontaneous convergence of different initiatives, but, is principally a result of the coordinated and planned action of the Communist Parties and organizations. It has been the continuation of other initiatives and campaigns, which engine have been, and is, the struggle waged by the marxist-leninist-maoist Parties and organizations from Latin America. We communists and revolutionaries of the whole world must understand this very well, which implies to understand the tremendous leap that this deed implies for the advancement of the world revolution. For the first time in history a group of Parties and organizations of the oppressed nations are acting in the International Communist Movement as a solidly unified force based on marxism-leninism-maoism, principally maoism and the contributions to the development of the universal truth of marxism made by Chairman Gonzalo. It is not the voice of one Party or one organization anymore, but of the Parties and organizations of a whole continent that, hoisting the flag of People’s War struggle to propel the reunification of the communists in the world. A left that is showing that is capable of leading and unifying. It is up to us to close ranks with them, recognize their role and assume the tasks we have to fulfill.

The campaign in the FRG was very significant and, principally has showed how we maoists are advancing in the struggle for the reconstitution of the Party in the midst of the class struggle and the two lines struggle. Also we must say that we had many limitations, the remains of the artisan work and the spirit of circles have put obstacles in the way. With struggle we have overcome this and have shown that the path we are following is correct. It has been shown in practice once more that the development of the struggle of the proletariat – at international and national level demands the reconstitution of the Communist Party. The development of system of organization have taken a leap in structure and a centralized and national organization with this campaign and when deepening the evaluation of it we will, in the midst of two lines struggle, manage to draw lessons and approve agreements that will allow us to enter a new phase of the struggle for the reconstitution.

We can now put forward some key questions of this new phase:
[...]

These are the tasks that corresponds to all the comrades in FRG to firmly assume. These are tasks that the class demands from us and that each one of us must assume ones responsibility with initiative and energy; enough of vacillation. This is how we serve the world proletarian revolution, this is how we combat the imperialist beast and its reactionary and revisionist lackeys, this is how we honor Karl Marx as corresponds.

We greet all present and we are very proud to be able to speak to you, we conclude by saying:

Proletarians of all countries, unite!   
Long live Maoism!
Down with revisionism!
Victory to the People's Wars!
Forward in the struggle for the reconstitution of the Communist Party of Germany!

Comrades,

In the name of the Nucleus for the Reconstitution of the Communist Party of Mexico receive our firmest and warmest red, proletarian and internationalist greetings on the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth of Karl Marx.

We communists of Mexico, reaffirmed on the theory and practice of marxism-leninism-maoism and the contributions of universal validity of Chairman Gonzalo, are working with increasingly stronger energy and greater criteria to fulfill, before the national and international working class, the strategic task  of reconstituting the Communist Party – as a militarized communist party – gifted with the scientific ideology of the proletariat, working on its turn for the concentric construction of the three indispensable instruments of the revolution.

For us, the labor of the Committee for the United Maoist International Conference and it's experiences have transmitted to us all the heat of the international class struggle of the proletariat and of the people, representing a shining guide for the creation of the heroic combatant who will put the exploited and oppressed masses of Mexico standing on their feet under it's own leadership in the midst of the liberating fire of the People's War.

All of you can be sure that in Mexico, both organized communists and the masses are putting not only our best efforts, but also our own lives to guarantee the fulfillment of every task, with the main objective being the reconstitution of the Vanguard Party of the Proletariat in Mexico, as part of the struggle for reconstituting the Communist International as a marxist-leninist-maoist international.

As all of you are aware, recently the old state has systematically attacked the whole revolutionary and democratic movement in Mexico, brutally enforcing repression and fascistization in the form of State terrorism and war against the people. In this context, a special interest in fighting our organizations has been revealed

However as far as the tasks for the Bicentenary of the great Karl Marx go, in Mexico we have realized many activities and we are waiting for a special date (23/07) for continuing them ; mainly to finish the hoisting of red banners in different cities.

We consider of absolute importance the bicentenary of the birth of the first international great leader and guide of the proletariat.

In this respect, the moving words of one of our comrades, spoken in the massive act for the 170 anniversary of the publication of the Manifesto, show greater relevance and meaning in particular due to the situation we are facing: “the Manifesto was written with the blood of the proletariat; this is the uneraseable ink which the next great wave of democratic and proletarian revolution on an international level will be written”.

We rectify our wholesome adherence to the scientific ideology of the proletariat, to the resolutions and agreements generated by all the parties and organizations struggling to put maoism at the front of all the struggles of the proletariat and of the oppressed peoples of the world, for the creation of a new international center of command in the form of a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Communist International, bringing forth storms and removing all mountains that oppress the proletariat and peoples with new and vigorous People's Wars.

We greet all the People's Wars that sustained and developed by the proletarian class and the people of Peru, Turkey, India and the Philippines, we greet and wish victory for the specific struggles of each one of the parties and organizations united towards the CUMIC, we demand the immediate and unconditional release of the political prisoners and disappeared people of the International Communist Movement, we maintain our position of defending the life and freedom of Chairman Gonzalo as the greatest living marxist-leninist-maoist on the face of the Earth and we repudiate the darkest propaganda of revisionism, opportunism and reformism-servants of imperialism- who thrown dirt in the eyes of the proletariat and the people on his role and great leadership as the head of the world proletarian revolution.

Long Live the celebration of 30/06!
Long Live the Bicentenary of the birth of the great Karl Marx!
Long Live the 170 anniversary of the publishing of the Communist Manifesto the historic program of the international proletariat!
Long live the Committee for the Unified Maoist International Conference!
