2015-02-28 Collection of International Messages (2004-2014) TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FORMATION OF CPI(MAOIST) COMMEMORATIVE VOLUME WORKERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE! LONG LIVE PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM! INTERNATIONAL MESSAGES AND STATEMENTS Central Committee Communist Party of India (Maoist) FOREWORD As part of our endeavour to republish important party documents on the occasion of the celebrations of ten years of the formation of CPI(Maoist), we are bringing out here a compilation of international messages. This volume includes messages sent by our party to fraternal parties, messages sent to us by our fraternal parties and organisations from across the world as well as statements jointly issued by us with other parties over the past decade. Lenin had pointed out that true internationalism consists of carrying out the revolutionary tasks in one’s own country and supporting this, and only this line, in other countries. Our party, which is one of the detachments of international proletariat, is carrying out this directive as a foremost task of proletarian internationalism. To liberate the country from the clutches of imperialism and domestic reaction and in leading the people in revolution, our party strives resolutely to uphold the theory of MLM and to apply it creatively to the concrete practice of Indian new democratic revolution as an inseparable part of world socialist revolution. Close and lively fraternal relations with revolutionary parties and organisations of other countries is an important component of a Maoist party’s proletarian internationalist stand. Be it the messages exchanged on significant occasions and events, on major political developments or turns in the revolutionary movements of different countries, to share the joy of important victories or in the grief of sad losses, to affirm the solidarity of the proletarian parties and organisations and to express our shared objectives, etc., stand testimony to these profound feelings. They are recognition of each other as vanguard contingents of the international proletariat, of the commonness of our aims and interrelation of revolutionary practices. Messages carry the ideological, political views of the party corresponding to this momentous decade. These documents therefore have acquired historical significance. They are thus useful to understand not only the party but provides a glimpse of the activities of the Maoist revolutionary forces of the world in the last one decade. While messages express a party’s views and sentiments, joint statements serve to bring out the collective viewpoint of Maoist parties on important questions facing the international communist movement or developments in the world. They are also a means of struggling to unify thinking and thus they aid in developing a common understanding for the international communist movement. The advances made in this direction can be seen from the statements collected here. During the past decade, CPI(Maoist) exchanged messages with several Maoist parties and revolutionary organisations across different countries on various occasions on a wide range of issues. They gave us confidence and strengthened our resolve in the course of struggle and in times of joy and sorrow, reaffirmed our shared commitment to MLM, our common fight against capitalism and determination to end all forms of exploitation and oppression by establishing socialism and communism on a world scale. They made us happy by letting us know that the advances made by our revolution are enthusing comrades in far off lands and that they are shouldering the task of extending all possible assistance and support to the Indian revolution with a true internationalist spirit - just the manner in which every forward step taken by fraternal revoutionary parties of other countries and every act of solidarity they take up fills the Indian revolutionary camp with great joy and enthusiasm. These messages, whatever may be the occasion on which they are issued, expresses the desire for stronger ideological, political and organisational unity of the proletariat of all countries in the course their common fight against the bourgeoisie to build a socialist world. In these times, when the forces of counter-revolution, and its tool revisionism, far outnumber the Maoist forces, when the absence of a socialist country considerably weakens international support, messages and joint statements serve to strengthen the forces of revolution. We hope this compilation will help its readers understand how the CPI(Maoist) has striven to fulfil its internationalist obligations as well as the reciprocal gesture from fraternal parties and organisations.

More enigmatic than the Islamic revolution itself were the aims of its supporters, although most of the opposition groups had explicitly stated their objectives in their publications long before the revolution. But the tightening censorship in Iran had forced the whole spectrum of the opposition to publish abroad. The evasive nature of dissident literature makes bibliographical control, and acquisition in general, extremely difficult. In the case of the Iranian revolution we are fortunate that "W.H. Behn has taken on the formidable task of listing (in his bibliographies) every publication of an anti-Pahlavi nature in Persian, or in other languages about Iran, published outside Iran between 1962 and the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979. The measure of his success is that he has amassed a total of some 800 books and pamphlets... [The ] work... will be an indispensable tool for anyone studying the recent history of Iran and the sources of the opposition to the Shah that led to the revolution of 1979" (Prof.

  • Celebrating the Centenary of the Communist Party of Iran
    Celebrating the Centenary of the Communist Party of Iran Document of the Enlarged Plenary Meeting of Central Committee (Feb. 2020) Dear Comrades, June 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Iran. Although the seeds of the labour and social democracy movement in our homeland were planted and grown during the Constitutional Revolution (1906) - and had a decisive impact on its development and victory - the Iranian labour and communist movement in the form of an organised and cohesive party formally began in June 1920 with the founding of the Communist Party of Iran led by the prominent figure of the Constitutional Revolution, Haydar Amo-Oghli (also known as Haydar Khan). The history of the left and Marxist ideas in Iran dates back to the late 19th century and early 20th century. With the rapid growth of industry and the development of the capitalist mode of production, Marx’s teachings found their way to Iran. The social and political arena of that period could be summarised, within the historic development of Iranian society, as the transition from feudalism to capitalism. The nascent capitalism of that time was growing, albeit sluggishly, while in parallel the birth and formation of the working class was taking shape. In the late 19th century, under the influence and impact of progressive left-wing views, the anti- dictatorship struggle grew significantly, and a growing number of people began to join the revolutionary struggle. Abdolhossein Agāhi, our martyred comrade and a prominent historian, wrote in his book, “The History of [political]Parties in Iran”, about the growth of socialism in Iran: “For the first time in Iran, in [an edition Figure 1: Haydar Amo- Ogghli, Leader of the of] the newspaper “Iran” (March 1917) an article from Communist Party of Iran, 1920 “Akhtar” newspaper (printed in Istanbul) - [originally published] on the occasion of the 9th anniversary of the Paris Commune (March 18, 1871) - [was reprinted] in which socialist ideas were introduced [to Iran].

Moreover, the development of social movements other than the working class after the 1960s further sidelined traditional parties. The anti-capitalist movements in the 1970s and 1980s were looking for new political formations.

  • In All the Major Political Developments in Twentieth-Century Iran, From
    THE WORKING CLASS AND THE ISLAMIC STATE IN IRAN H A I D E H M O G H I S S I A ND S A E E D R A H N E M A n all the major political developments in twentieth-century Iran, from the Iconstitutional revolution of 1906–11 and the nationalization of the oil industry in early 1950s to the political upheavals of early 1960s and the 1979 revolution, workers were major participants and demonstrated a high level of militancy. However, governments of diverse persuasions, from the Pahlavis’ modernizing dictatorial monarchy to the liberal nationalists, and the Islamists’ pre-modern theocracy, have ignored workers’ legitimate demands and suppressed their dissent. Many factors account for this failure, not least of them being the qualitative and quantitative weaknesses of the working class—a result of the specific nature of capitalist development and industrialization in Iran. Because of its own internal weaknesses, the workers’ movement has depended historically on left social democratic and communist movements both organi- zationally and intellectually. In fact, socialist and communist ideas about the workers’ right to form unions and emancipate themselves preceded the emer- gence of the working class itself. Yet dependence on external leadership made Iranian workers susceptible to the theoretical and political wavering and internal conflicts of the country’s left intelligentsia. As well, the continuous suppression of the left by successive dictatorial regimes inevitably also affected the militancy and organizational efficacy of the working-class movement. In this context, it is reasonable to argue that the progress of the working-class movement has been and continues to be directly linked to the movement for democracy and social change.

  • Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
    demarcations-journal.org Reviewing the Differences between the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) and the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan – by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) (First appeared June 2011, reviewed 8 March 2013, www.cpimlm.com) Some time has elapsed since the publication of issue 3 of Shola1 [the official publication of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan – C(M)PA], which carries a critique of our Party’s line in an article entitled, “The Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist - CPIMLM) has fallen into the wrong path of post- Marxism-Leninism-Maoism”. In this article, Shola criticizes the new synthesis of communist theory by Bob Avakian and attacks our Party for its support of the new synthesis. After the appearance of Shola’s article, some comrades who are more familiar with the history of the C(M) PA and its views were assigned to prepare a reply to that article. In June 2011, the 7th Plenum of the Central Committee (CC) of the CPIMLM studied this reply and made recommendations on the basis of which the reply was reworked and became more comprehensive. Due to factors related to the priorities of our Party, the publication of this reply was delayed. Although the reply could have been improved by taking into consideration the recent articles published by the C(M)PA, nevertheless, in order to prevent further delay we’ve decided to publish the reply as it is. During this period, we have become even more convinced that the ideological and political chasm between our Party and the C(M)PA is indeed deep and that this is a reflection of the two-line struggle that has been going on in the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) over the past few years.

  • The Left Movement and National Question: from Romanticism to Realism (With a Focus on Komala Organization)
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2016 2016, Vol. 3, No. 1, 20-48 ISSN: 2149-1291 The Left Movement and National Question: From Romanticism to Realism (With a Focus on Komala Organization) Sabah Mofidi1 Scientific-Applied University, Sine (Sanandaj), Kurdistan, Iran This article studies the ‘national question’and its importance in the Left thought and movement from a realistic and pragmatic perspective. It elaborates that during the history of this movement, the nationalistic reading on the Left thought, even in popular socialist countries, led to confiscating Marxism in favor ofthe nationalistic interests, though it apparently emphasized on the internationalist slogans. Also it draws on the fact thatthe theoreticians and pragmatic Marxist leaders of each country, subject to conditions and priorities, had a special interpretation of Marxism. In some third world countries, theoppressed nations’ nationalistic desires have been condemned by the Left organizations of the dominant nations as deviation from Marxism and to trivialize the national question. This climate affected some Kurdish Left parties in a way that at first they followed the romantic and idealistic leftists of the nations who don’t have the national question, but afterward with awareness of their theoretical and political mistakes, they tried to distance themselves from them and moved towards realism. So, the author seeks to answer, whysuch a thing happened and what its effects on the Kurdistan politics have been. Toward this end, the article in the different parts examines the importance of the national question and nationalism in the Marxist theories, the Left movement in Iran and Kurdistan in general, and Komala-Kurdistan Toilers Revolutionary Organization of Iran in particular.
