Its’ ideological roots, however, go back with the experience of the international communism movement. They lay, firstly, with the Nineteenth Century thinkers and organisation that found expression in the subsequent Marxist movement and working class organisations that aligned to the Leninist and Soviet models of Marxism. Secondly, it draws upon the anti-revisionist renewal of the mid-Twentieth century, arising as a response to the political dislocation that saw a split in the international communism movement. With a convenient identification between the two main protagonists – Moscow (CPSU) and Beijing (CPC), the European anti-revisionists sided with the CPC and its allies. Thirdly, the anti-revisionist movement drew new impetus from the political events and rhetoric (as they understood and interpreted) occurring in China. This was refined further with the adoption of a guiding reference point, Mao Zedong thought, which would now define anti-revisionists as Maoists. The development of the movement has seen the composition of its membership and its numerical strength differed greatly over the years, as has the public awareness of the movement and its politics. There is a relative paucity of research on the subject, with few developments in the historiography given the relative neglect, on the margins suffering neither self-publicists nor zealot promotion due largely to the failure in its institutional struggle for survival. This collection is not a definitive history, nor a complete study of any individual component of what constituted the movement: The documents presented here will illustrate some of these complexities of a political current inspired by anti-revisionist politics. The fragmentation of the movement was an early, and sustaining, feature. A listing of organisations and ‘dramatis persona’ support the selection of texts produced. These groups had a crusading vision, some even a drive to leadership, if not a capacity for national leadership, but the forces were too few and the measure of success employed a small yardstick. As in most of the European generalisations applied, one turned to Norway as an exception. These reports of ‘the state of the movement’ reflect the subjective assessments of partisan observation. The selection – a visit to MIA would illustrate why the term ‘collection’ would be inappropriate – draws upon primary European sources and excludes the major statements easily found elsewhere e.g. Encyclopaedia of Anti-Revisionism Online. Such a Eurocentric basis reflects both linguistic failings and inabilities, and archival accessibility for the editor, rather than inherent disregard for other dimension to the movement under inspection. In order to avoid the creation of basically an oral history, with little third party verifying, and scant supporting documentation, this anthology of articles and summations seeks to provide a historical treatment that avoids an ultra- subjective perspective. Any selection involves a choice that raises questions but hopeful as a starting point for further research and enquiry. The selection reflects common themes discussed, and analysis that were seldom confined to one organisation or location. They were issues that reflected the state of the movement on a scale wider than the national concern, and as such were echoed beyond national or even continental boundaries. The selected texts are reproduced in full, conveying the flavour and distinctive ethos and culture that existed at the time. The linking narrative commentary seeks to establish the context and draw attention to the consequences for the movement. 3 | Page West European Maoist Organisations 1976 (partial listing) Austria: Communist League of Austria Belgium: Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Belgium; “All Power to the Workers (AMADA)” Britain: Communist Federation of Britain (ML); Communist Party of Britain (ML) Denmark: Communist League Marxist-Leninists of Denmark Finland: Marxist-Leninist Groups of Finland France: Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Communist Party of France Germany: Communist party of Germany; Communist League of West Germany Greece: Organisation of Marxist-Leninists of Greece Iceland: Communist Party of Iceland (ML) Italy: Marxist-Leninist Organisation of Italian Bolshevik Communists; Party of Socialist Revolution of Italy Luxemburg: Communist League of Luxemburg Netherlands: Communist Unity Movement of the Netherlands; League of Dutch Marxist Leninists;’ Marxist-Leninist Party of the Netherlands’ Norway: Workers’ Communist Party (ML) Portugal: Communist Party of Portugal (ML) Spain: Workers’ Revolutionary Organisation; Labour Party of Spain Sweden: Communist party of Sweden; Marxist-Leninist Union of Struggle of Sweden Switzerland: Communist Party of Switzerland (ML) 4 | Page Section One: Report from Europe 1976 On the march in Italy, Sweden, France, Germany, Norway Italy, Sweden, France, Germany, Norway 5 | Page Section One: The State of the Movement In the years following Chairman Mao’s death there was evidence of consolidation amongst the multitude of European Maoist groups: May Day 1976 saw 23,000 mobilised by the AKP and its paper had a circulation of 20,000 in a population of less than five million. En Lucha, the weekly paper of the ORT had a circulation of 100,000 in Spain and secured 146,000 votes (49,000 in Madrid) in 1977 national elections. There were 20,000 marching in Bonn protesting on October 8th 1977 against a proposal to constitutional ban three Maoist groups (the KBW, KPD and KPD/ML). February 1979 saw Lutte Communiste (Marxist-Leninist) unite with the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Belgium (PCMLB), the culmination of a process of unity that began in August 1976. That same year, AMADA – TPO (Tout le Pouvoir aux Ouvriers - All Power to the Workers), who claimed to have 75% of Belgian Marxist-Leninists in its ranks, transformed from a radical Flemish student organisation into a more traditional communist party, the Party of Labour of Belgium [PVDA-PTB]. With the demise of the Clarte- PCMLB group, the PTB emerged as the main representative of Maoism and a substantial presence on the political left. In Britain, the Revolutionary Communist League of Britain [RCLB] formed the only national organisation visibly representing British Maoism having united some other Maoist groups under its banner1 by 1980. In France the Parti Communiste Marxiste-Leniniste de France – PCMLF - had been formed in December 1967 by about a hundred former Communist party members (of which forty were in Marseilles). The PCMLF operated clandestinely when legally banned in June 12, 1968.Its public face and name became that of its journal Humanite Rouge. It became legal under the initials ‘PCML’ in August 1978. The PCMLF of Jacques Jurguet had a draft agreement published October 24, 1979 between the Parti Communiste Marxiste-Leniniste de France and the PCRml (formed in 1974 around the newspaper “Front Rouge”) headed by Max Cluzot. Both organisations were seeking unity after an electoral pact in the March 1978 elections. They foresaw a process of progressive fusion between the two newspapers ‘I’Humanite Rouge’ and PCRml’s ‘Le Quotidien du Peuple’

  • 1 the Struggle of the Communists Within the CPSU with the Rebirth Of
    1 The struggle of the Communists within the CPSU with the rebirth of the party. XXVIII Congress and the direction to the market. The continuation of the Gorbachev course in the politics of opportunists after the collapse of the USSR. Report of the RCWP representative, the secretary of the Central Committee, A. K. Cherepanov, at the European Communist Initiative forum in Istanbul on February 18, 2019. Speaking about the bourgeois rebirth of the party and the Soviet state, they usually focus on the 28th CPSU Congress, its decisions and the struggle of the Communists there. However, the roots of this rebirth lie much deeper. The fact is that the CPSU approached the XXVIII Congress not as an orthodox revolutionary communist party, corresponding to the Leninist definition of a new party type. By this time, by the efforts of the XX and XXII CPSU congresses, the party in theory has already abandoned such cornerstones of Marxism as the doctrine of the proletariat dictatorship, the understanding of the state as a purely class instrument of the ruling class. There was a refusal to recognize the continuation of the class struggle under socialism, and, most importantly, in the basis, in the economy, some reforms carried out led to the weakening of its character as direct social production and developing its product- market orientation. The development trend towards the elimination of commodity-market relations in the economy was replaced by the tendency of their expansion and development. Since the time of Khrushchev, the state has been treated on a national level, and the Communist Party has been more and more understood and presented as the party of all the population.

  • TML Monthly Supplement
    No. 9 March 31, 2021 On the occasion of the 51st anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), as we close out our jubilee year, we send our warmest revolutionary greetings to all Party members across the country, to its supporters, friends and fellow-travellers. We greet the Canadian working class and people with whom for 51 years and more we have shared weal and woe, building the party of the working class in the course of participating in every mass movement without exception. It is also our honour on this occasion to express our warmest revolutionary greetings to all our fraternal comrades all over the world with whom we share the responsibilities which we have in common for the victory of our common cause. The involvement of Party members, our class and people and the support of fraternal comrades all over the world have made it possible to achieve the historic successes we are celebrating today. On this occasion, our deepest respects go to the memory of our founder and leader, our comrade 1 and friend, Hardial Bains. Comrade Bains spearheaded the founding of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) in Montreal 51 years ago. He united the advanced forces to set its line of march, to mobilize the broad masses and isolate the backward elements blocking society's path to progress. Comrade Bains provided the Party with its defining quality. The issue, he said, is not to wave the red flag but to show our colour through our deeds. This is expressed in the Party motto: The Party's Deed Is Its Word.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.
