Toady ,on 28Th March is the 72nd birthday of the late Comrade - TopicsExpress

Toady ,on 28Th March is the 72nd birthday of the late Comrade Harbhajan Singh Sohi(HBS) arguably the greatest Indian Marxist since T.Nagi Reddy and the best theoretician in the International Communist Movement in the last 3 decades.He led the Communist Party Re-organization Centre of India(M.L.) as general secretary with fists of Iron and was a true champion of the mass line.His guidance played a major role in the building of the cutting edge of the party and mass movements in a class analytical perspective.Above all he defended Mao Tse Tung Thought from being replaced intoMaoismdefending Leninism like a rock against the blowing wind.He made an outstanding contribution in defending Socialist China and attacking the Teng- Hua clique.In 1982 he wrote the documentIn defence of Marxism-Leninsm-Mao Tse Tung Thought and general line of the ICM. ,the best theoretical defence of MLMT since 1978 by any Marxist worldwide.Iwish readers to share their solidarity.Let us all dip our blood in his memory. 3rd death anniversary of Com.HBS(died on June 15th 2009) Message of Central Committee,C.P.R.C.I.(M.L.) Comrade Harbhajan Sohi(HBS),an outstanding leader of the Communist Revolutionary camp in India which emerged in the late 1960’s ,is no more. He died in mid-June 2009,as a result of a heart attack. His loss was an immense loss to the Communist Revolutionary Movement is major. And yet the legacy he has left us, in his single contributions to developing the communist revolutionary line and understanding abides. In the late 1960’s,the Naxalbari armed uprising and its aftermath precipitated the emergence of the communist revolutionary stream in the country. The need of the hour was to establish a basically correct mass revolutionary line and re-organise the communist party on this basis. At this crucial juncture, a large section of the communist revolutionary movement went under the sway of left advent5uris.Among the important forces throughout the country which demarcated from both left adventurism and right opportunism at this juncture was the Punjab Communist Revolutionary Committee,under the leadership of Comrade HBS.It opposed the lines of individual annihilation abd too k the correct stands on major controversies ,such as the role of mass organizations and economic/partial struggle, the initiation and development of armed struggle, the reorganization of the party, and the leadership of the working class. As distinct from the left sectarian line, the PCRS, in those years advanced the line of bold mass resistance to repression. By reviving and guiding the revolutionary student and youth movement to lead the heroic Moga struggle,it demonstrated the correctness of this line in practice. Later, in the face of the ruling class “JP movement” of 1974,and during the fight against.S.N.Singh’s right opportunism,the PCRC unwaveringly upheld it’s proletarian orientation. The forces under the PCRC’influence organized a giant”Sangram”rally of various revolutionary democratic sections of the masses, in which they presented the “Path for Salvation of the Crisis –ridden nation”, containing the outline of the democratic revolutionary programme. Programme in a popular form. While thus striving to establish mass revolutionary practice through militant struggles, the PCRC made serious efforts to locate those Communist revolutionary forces who were fighting for the Communist revolutionary mass line, most importantly the Andhra Pradesh Committee of Communist Revolutionaries.(APCCR)The PCRC was independently pursuing a revolutionary line similar to that of the APCCR,and in 1976 it united with the Unity Centre of Communist Revolutionaries of India(Marxist-Leninist)through a painstaking process. However at this juncture, j just before this merger, the International Commmunist Movement suffered a tremendous blow with the death of Comrade Mao inSeptember 1976 and then seizure of power by the capitalist roader clique in China .This reversal generated great confusion among even genuine Communist REvolutionarie,of which the great majority were temporarily swayed by the deceptive tactics of the Deng-Hua clique. Just before this, the UCCRI(M.L.)suffered the major loss of Comrade T.Nagi Reddy in JULY 1976. These challenging times brought out the true ideological strength of Comrdae HBS.When the revisionist international line of China ‘s Deng Hua clique emerged in a full fledged –form with the People’s Daily article”Chairman Mao’s differentiation of the Three Worlds is a major Contribution to Marxism Leninsm”,.Comrade HBS took a stand against this line, and undertook a fresh systematic study of the strategy and tactics of the International Proletariat. The document he prepared first draws on the lessons of the International communist movement in order to reiterate the principles guiding its strategy and tactics and on that basis refutes the ‘Three World Theory”of the Peole’s Daily.In this period he also made a special contribution in the article “On Mao Tse Tung Thought’wherein he dealt with the distinctive contributions of Mao Tse Tung Thought with the development of Marxism-Leninism.In another document(About Internal Developments in China)he exposed the revisionist line being followed by the capitalist roader clique at the time. At the same time he did not spare the other Left Opportunist trends(Enver Hoxha and the R.C.P-U.S.A)that came to the fore under the guise of opposing the Three world Theory and the Deng clique. Comrade HBS and the Communist revolutionary movement in Punjab faced grave tests for the following years. On the one had, splits in the UC.C.R.IM.L) were followed by a steep decline in the Communist revolutionary and revolutionary democratic mass movement in Punjab. On the other hand the rise oftwin monsters of communal fascism and state repression plunged Punjab into a dark night of terror. In this light the now relatively smaller force of the U.C.C.R.I.M.L.)under Comrade HBS’s leadership adopted correct approach to the question of nationalities in India the question of the Punjabi nationality, the phenomenan of Khalistani Communal fascism, and State terrorism. It maintained the sharp edge of struggle against all reactionary form s of terror, and boldly advanced the line of mass –resistance struggle. The combined ideological-political and practical defence of the correct understanding became a rallying point for correctly-oriented Communist revolutionary forces and the revolutionary democratic mass movement in Punjab Comrade HBS always emphasized that the various Communist revolutionary forces which are today divided into various streams, are components of the party to be re-organised. Thus, even as he stressed the need for struggle against the wrong trends in the camp in order to establish the correct line, he equally stressed the importance of upholding and projecting the unity of the whole communist revolutionary movement against the enemy class. Equally, in polemical contention, or in post-split situations, he never stooped to personal attacks or trivialization. He used to quote Stalin’s remark that in political matters it is the reverse of military matters: we attack the enemy not at his weakest, but at it’s strongest point. Comrade HBS played a key role in the formation of the Centre of Communist Revolutionaries of India(C.C.R.I.),a n ALL-India communist revolutionary organization. As part of the Centre of CCRI, Comrdae HBS helped to politically consolidate the existing forces within the organization around the correct trend,and played a major role in the broader unification of Communist Revolutionary forces in the form of the Communist Party Re-Organisation Centre of India-Marxist Leninist)After the Inaugural conference of the C.P.R.C.I(M.L.) in 1995,the newly elected central Committee elected Comrade HBS sa it’s secretary .He remained at this post for 14 years…In the analysis of national and International developments ,he strove strenuously to apply the dialectical materialist method: to examine the material basis of a phenomenan,it’s contradictory aspects, and it’s motion, i.e. the development of these contradictions. Comrade HBS’S strength was the central importance he gave to Marxist –Leninist ideology.In the analysis of problems of the movement, he struggled constantly to locate the theoretical tasks that needed to be completed and the principal task to be undertaken in order to make a breakthrough in the revolutionary movement. It was on this basis of this theoretical approach that he was able to combat all major deviations that emerged during his revolutionary career. While reorganization of the Communist Party has remained the principal task before us since the 1970’s,in the recent past Comrade HBS gave special emphasis to the building of the party organization with the perspective of re-organisation of the party as the main task in the present phase of the revolutionary movement of India. His death is not only a grievous loss to our party organization, but a loss to the entire communist revolutionary camp and the Communist party to be re-organised. Let us pay our homage to HBS by seriously applying ourselves to the study of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse Tung Thought and to the practice of the Indian Revolution as part of world revolution. Message from re-organising Committee,Communist League of India. The ideological guidance provided by him to his organization on various occasions, beginning from the 1970’s upto the 1st decade of the century, will remain inscribed on the historical pages of the Communist revolutionary movement of Punjab-whether this guidance related to the question of diversion from mass revolutionary movement, or to the question of the defence of Marxism-Leninism and conducting the movement under it’s guidance. Immediately after recognizing the ideological deviation of the Communist Party of China after the death of Comrdae Mao,co.Sohi not only raised the banner of defence of the ideology but also kept aloft the banner of the ideology against the deviation, false steps and wrong trends that were revealed from time to time among the communist revolutionary group s of India. The literary and ideological writings of Sohi were able to inspire the element of consciousness and deep thought in hundreds of Communist in and outside Punjab and his way of illuminating the path of teams guiding communist revolutionary caravans and mass struggles will remain inscribed forever on the historical pages of communist revolutionary movement of Punjab.. He was one of the contingent of guidance –giving soldiers of the Indian Revolution Every moment of his life was dedicated to the Communist Revolutionary movement and he was bent on realizing the dream of revolution in India under the leadership of the working class. Movements build the persons and in return persons give impetus to the movements. Comrade Sohi was not merely a person, he was the name of a movement. His individual identification was completely united with the movement. Today, when world capitalism is advancing towards its grave, indications of emergence of widespread workers movements are apparent, and the world is entering a new phase of turmoil, in such a situation a departure of a supporter of the working class movement is a loss which to a considerable extent cannot be filled.Sohi’s loss is not only a loss for the C.P.R.C.I.(M.L.),but a big los for the entire communist revolutionary movement that cannot be filled. He remained concerned for the unity of the communist revolutionary movement throughout his life and the only appropriate homage to him would be for all of us to persist the goal of building up a single Communist revolutionary party. Message from Punjab State Committee(C.P.I-Maoist) The state committee understands that Comrdae Sohi lived and died as a Communist Revolutionary. He always kept aloft the banner of Marxism-Leninsm-Mao Tse Tung Thought(now Maoism)He characterized India not as an independent country, but as a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. He projected the new democratic revolution, new democratic politics and its general direction against the revisionist trend of socialist revolution and revolution of nationalities. He upheld the building of a new democratic state of the united front of the for classes based on worker-peasant alliance under the leadership of the working class. He relied on workers,peasants,youth,students and employees for fulfilling this objective. The State Committee of the Punjab C.P.I.(Maoist)pays a red salute to Com.Sohi and shares the grief of the party organization-the C.P.R.C.I.(M.L.),the revolutionary communist and democratic forces, and his family, particularly his wife Mohinder Kaur.We call upon the participant of the homage paying function to transform their grief into anger and to focus their anger and hatred to build anew democratic federal state We call for the raising of the tempo of united struggles,(particularly in Lalgarh) of the uprooted peasantry etc.,against globalization and liberalization etc. Message from Central Organising Core-Revolutionary Communist League of India Com.Sohi was the first person in India who recognized the revisionist character of the Deng clique,which usurped state power in China after the death of Mao. Our movement has always struggled on the questions of left terrorism and the mass line.CoM.Sohi has played an important role in giving practical shape to the mass line.As a result, a clear line of demarcation emerged between the mass line and left terrorism, which was an example to the revolutionary movement in our country. There is deep influence of left terrorism in the revolutionary movement of our country which has caused serious damage to the communist movement of our country.Com.Sohi’s efforts in this direction provide us valuable guidance to overcome this trend. Even till today his teachings combating left adventurism and the building of mass organization s are of relevance. Other messages “He showed the path of confronting counter revolutionary repression, relying on the masses”-Mukhtiar Poohla,editor Lal Parcham(red flag) Harbhajan wil be known as the builder of Indian revolution”-Surjeet Lee ‘He drew a clear –cut conclusion in the light of ideology and drew a clear cut line of demarcation from revisionism.” “He was on of those top leaders who most emphatically defended the spirit of Mao Tse Tung and Naxalbari.Not every leader has Com.Sohi’s capacity to swim with firm conviction against the tide of any wrong trend and to rebuild the scattered organization bit by bit.-Jaspal Jassi,editor Surkh Rekha He had the quality of addressing any crisis with deep self confidence.In personal relations he always conducted himself on equal footing. Our personal relationship was that of equality. I got strength from his views,I wish that his caravan may flourish.—Mohinder Kaur(wife of Com.Sohi) Above are the messages presented at the homage paying function for Comrdae HBS on June 26th 2009.2500 people participated and the function began with the garlanding of the photograph of Com.Sohi. Below are excerpts from Com.HBS’s important writings. Hold Aloft the Invincible Banner of Mao Tse Tung Thought (statement published in the Proletarian Path,Organ of the cc(provisional) of the U.C.C.R.I.(M.L.),March 1980 in commemoration of comrade Mao Tse Tung’s 86th birthday(written by Com.HBS) Today powerful forces have sprung from within the international Communist Movement to derail or deviate it from it’s established general line and principles..In this great trial and strength between Marxism Leninsm and Opportunism, the battle around the estimation of Mao Tse Tung and Mao Tse Tung Thought is crucial. Feverish attempts are being made in categorical as well as veiled fashion by various opportunist quarters to denigrate the name and teaching s of Com.Mao Tse Tung.Confronted with this temporarily formidable opposite, the revolutionary aspect of international communist movement is being impelled to develop nad supercede it through struggle. The gradually increasing number of genuine Marxist-Leninist parties and groups who boldly come forward against heavy odds,in defence of the glorious revolutionary practice of Mao Tse Tung and Mao Tse Tung Thought,is the manifestation of this phenomenan and a testimony to the inexhaustible vitality of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse Tung Thought. Salient features Mao Tse Tung grasped and applied the science of dialectical materialism in a masterly fashion and in the process ,greatly enriched it. Carrying forward Lenin’s observation that the law of Contradiction is the kernel of dialectics.Mao Tse Tung definitely formulated that the law of Unity of opposites is the basic law of dialectics.Thus,he sprecified the inter-relationship of various laws of dialectics . Consistently, upholding the principle of universality of contradiction ,he applied it to the Socialist Society and the communist party as well. Not only did he further develop the concept of 2 type of contradictions,i.e.antagonistic and non-antagonistic contradictions to be resolved by 2 different methods,but,more importantly,he explored the identity of these 2 opposites i.e.under certain conditions,antagonistic and non –antagonoistic contradictions undergo transformation into their opposites.Thus,he provided the theoretical frame for conceiving the political phenomena of formation and dissolution of united front between different class forces, and of alternating periods of milder and more acute forms of struggle in the development of socialist Society as well as communist party,under varying conditions.App;lying it to Socialist Society,he propounded the theory of continuing revolution under the dictatorship of the Proletariat.Applying it to the Communist party,he put forth the organizational concept of ‘struggle between 2 lines”in the Communist Party,inter-linking the innr pary struggle and the class struggle in the Society. In his anlaysis of the law of contradiction in things,Mao Tse Tung laid special emphasis on the study of particularity of contradiction and underlined it’s great importance for guiding the course of revolutionary practice. Exploring the problem of particularity of contradiction, he ascertained a new dimension of contradiction, representing in its particularity the unevenness of forces that are in contradiction i.e.the uneven character of development of various contradictions,and more importantly, the mutual transformation into each other of the principal and non –principal ones. Applying this comprehension of the particularity of contradiction to such pairs of opposites as were generally considered to be undergoing no change in the respective position sof their aspects,namely the productive forces and the relations of production,theory nad practice,the economic base and superstructure.Mao Tse Tung observed that the productive forces ,practice and economic base generally play the principal role but in certain conditions the relation sof production,theory and their superstructure in turn manifest themselves in the principal role.Thus ,he restored the true spirit of dialectical materialist outlook in the International Communist Movement suffering from a mechanical materialist outlook in it’s viewpoint,particularly in question srelated to construction of Socialist Societyu.This provided the ideological basis of the recognition of prime necessity of revolution in the superstructure after basically completing the Socialist transformation of the economic base.The Great Proletarian Cultural revolution was the result. Grasping the uneven and dynamic character of various contradictions in the process of development of a thing and that of the two aspects of a contradiction,Mao Tse Tung observed:although the fundamental essence of a process remains basically unchanged till the culmination of the process, marked changes have their distinctive characters or particularities representing,respectively,qualitatively different states of contradiction in their inter-relationsship..Thus ,he crystallized the concept of definite stages in a process of development of athing. Mao Tse Tung’s comprehension of the phenomenan of definite stages in a process of development of athing ,that is the law of quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes.In this connection, he ascertained that ,in the process of development of a phenomenan, along with uninterrupted quantitative changes many partial qualitative changes too take place before the final qualitative leap occurs. Mao Tse Tung’s conceptual grasp over the law of contradiction in things,especially,the uneven and dynamic character of contradiction: the possibility under certain condition, of mutual transformation of principal and non –principal aspects of a contradiction, of partial qualitative changes permeates all his important military concepts ,which constitute the most developed form of proletarian military thought till date-the strategy and tactics of protracted Peoples War. For instance, at a strategic plane the concept of a revolutionary base area under people’s state power amidst the country-wide conter-revolutionary state power; and at a tactical plane, the concept of miniature counter-encirclements by the people’s armed force s within the overall encirclement by enemy forces, and the concept of ‘ten against one,’ in tactical operations. Moa Tse Tung integrated the universal truth of Marxism-Leninsm with the concrete practice of the Chines revolution.In grasping and solving the complex fundamental problems of national democratic revolution of semi-colonial and semi-feudal China and of it’s transition to socialist Revolution.Carrying forward the teachings of Leninnad Stalin on the colonial revolution,he dissected the native bourgeoisie ,studied the chrasterictics of it’s segments, drew a clear cut demarcation between the big bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie treating the former as a target and the latter as aformer ally of the revolution in it’s first stage preceding the Socialist Stage;concretely solved the peasant question by providing proletarian leadership to the agrarian revolutionary movement and relying on the peasantry as a main force in the national democratic revolution:ensured the consummation of the national democratic revolution and the transition to the Socialist Revolution by charting out a course of maintaining the independence of the proletariat as a political force, forging the worker-peasant alliance under the leadership of the proletariat, establishing the hegemony of the proletariat over all the political forces engaged in the revolution, including the national bourgeoisies,thus making it new democratic Revolution,in it’s political character. Moa Tse Tung critically absorbed the first experience of the proletariat of building Socialismin USSR and the loss of proletarian state power there, and drew illuminating conclusions for steering the development of socialist revolution in China”In the historical period of socialism there are still classes, class contradictions and class struggle, there is he struggle between the Socialist Road and the Capitalist Road”Hence he brought forward the foremost position occupied by class contradictions in proplelling social development throughout the historical period covered by Socialist Society, and laid down the cardinal precept that for properly appreciating and tackling problem sof the development of Socialist Society proletarian revolutionaries must proceed by taking class struggle as the key link. He stressed the great significance of thoroughgoing changes in the relations of production and the superstructure for greatly boosting the development of productive forces during periods of revolutionary transition of society. He pointed out that Socialist Society being a long historical period of revolutionary transition, calls for unrelenting revolutionary effort to adapt the relation sof production to the constantly emerging requirements of the development of productive force s,and transform the superstructure to bring it in tune with the Socialist economic base, so as to consolidate and develop the latter. He further observed that as every socialist transformation in the relation sof production and the superstructure corrodes the socialist basis, influence and power of the old exploiting classes and new bourgeoius elements,it encounters frantic resistance. And, this class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie gets intenes expression on the political front.Hence the paramount importance for political revolution. Moa pointed out that after the smashing of the bourgeois political resistance,the chief representative s of the bourgeoisie are found to be hiding within the Communist party itself-the party persons in authority taking the Capitalist Road-against whom the sharp class struggle has to be directed. To achieve all-round socialist revolution in ideological,political and economic spheres and to defend and consolidate the dictatorship of the proletariat,Mao exhorted the proletarian revolutionaries to rely on the revolutionary masses of the people and revolutionary mass movements bringing into full play their creative initiative and genius. The glorious decade of the Great Proletraian Cultural Revolution lead by the proletarian revolutionaries headed by Mao Tse Tung,witnessed the practice and maturing of this theory of continuing revolution under the condition sof dictatorship of the proletariat,marking a great leap forward in the revolutionary experience and achievements of international proletariat. We do not subscribe to the notion of infallibility of great revolutionary persons,no MARXIST DOES.Mao Tse Tung, like other great teachers of the International proletariat MARX,Engels,Lenin nad Stalin cannot be free of errors and inadequacies.But such errors and inadequacies ,if noticed,are to be alanysed ina total and historial perspective,on the basis of Marxism-Leninsm Mao Tse Tung Thought and to enrich it.Whoseover ventures to challenge the validity of MAO Tse Tung Thought, as an inalienable part of Mraxism-Leninsm must come to grips with this ideological edifice as a whole, especially his contribution s to Marxist philosophy. Leadership of Albanian party against Mao Tse Tung Thought The leadership of the Albanian party of Labour launched an attack on mao Tse Tung Thought in a most irresponsible manner without theoretical refutation of a single tenet of MAO Tse Tung Thought. Not only did they take 180 degrees on their own previous estimation of Mao Tse Tung Thought and his teaching without any convincing explanation or self-criticism but they also resort to gross misrepresentation of MAO Tse Tung’s views to suit the convenience of their attack.Apparently,they cross swords with Teg –hua revisionist clique but in actual fact they are proving of great help to it by conferring upon it the sought-after legitimacyas successors to the ideology and cause of Mao Tse Tung,causing confusion and diversion in the struggle of genuine MARXIST Leninists against this clique and complementing the latter’s sophisticated attempts to discredit Mao Tse Tung thought with their wanton attacks on it. The shallow and unfair polemical stand of the leadership of the APL.at presnt against Mao Tse Tung and Mao Tse Tung Thought is disappointing and quite out of character with it’s reputation as a principled and mature Marxist-Leninist Party which boldly withstood tremendous pressure of modern revisionism under testing conditions in the sixties. The less said the better about the so many rag-tag organizations decked in Marxist –leninist colours ,gathering under the ‘protective umbrella’of Albanian ‘centre’and covering their political bankruptcy and renegacy to Marxism Leninism with vociferous denunciations of MAO Tse Tung and Mao Tse Tung Thought.Their presumptuous conduct reminds one of a line of MAO’S POEM”Flies lightly conspire to topple the banyan tree.” The objectives of the Albanian leaders in presenting a distorted version of MAO Tse Tung’s views and practice apart ,their own metaphysical and mechanistic approach to the study of concrete contradictions of presnt day world is linked to their inability to grasp the dialectical materialist content of MAO Tse Tung Thought,especially Moa’s exposition and handling of the particularity of contradictions. They reiterate the basic contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie in this era of Imperialism and Proletarian Revolution but fail to examine the various specific manifestations of this basic contradiction,at various stages of its process of development ,in the uneven accentuation of the four fundamental contradictions of the present world and changes their inter-relationship. They reiterate the historically ripe situation for socialist revolutions in developed capitalist countries of Europe, North Americ a,Japn.etc in the era of emergent proletarian revolution,note the increasing social discontent and turmoil under the impact of intensifying economic crisis of world imperialist system, but fail to examine these factors of the situation in connection with the state of development of conscious revolutionary factors,in other words, the specific political situation. They reiteratye the common essential character of all Imperialist forces and also emphasise struggle particularly against the two imperialist superpowers, without laying bare the distinctive features of the latter. They reiterate the decisive significance of hegemony of the proletariat for successful consummation of national democratic revolutions but fail to recognize the peculiar form of it’s realization in an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution wherin the national bourgeoisie displays it’s capability of leading the revolution through the end but retains in some measure, revolutionary potentialities ,establishing its credibility as the staunch most consistent champion of national and democratic aspirations of the masses of the people by dint of the programmeand practice of revolutionary struggle, striving to win over and carry along all those social forces whose revolutionary potentialities are not totally exhausted. They emphasise the revisionist nature and defection to capitalism of Soviet rulers and emphasise their military nature and grea-power-hegemonic role.Thus,in both cases ,they miss the specific state of development of a phenomenan and divert the Marxist Leninist attack from the relevant focuis.So on and so forth. Despite the revolutionary phraseology of the documents and statements,and along with their ‘left’ opportunist positions regarding the orientation of the national democratic revolutionary movement in the East,the presnt situation and tasks of proletarian revolutionary movement in the West,the practice alos betrays serious right opportunist tendencies.For instance,their political stand on the developments in South East Asia .Criticism of revisionism from ‘left’opportunist standpoint is by now a familiar experience for communist revolutionary movement of India.In the case of Albanian polemics ,it seems,their bombast against the Teng-Hua clique and reall attack on Mao Tse Tung thought are meant to servea s somkescree for their own retreat to right opportunist course of action. The leadership of A.P.L. has facilitated the exposure of it’s own opportunism by it’s alloput contrived,spurious attack on Mao Tse Tung and Mao Tse Tung THoughty.Hereafter it’s capacity for causing confusion abd disruption in the International Marxist Leninist Movement ,especially the Asian contingents is considerably reduced.Still,so long as the experience of the great reversal in China ,that occurred with the defeat of proletarian revolutionary line and forces after the death of Mao Tse Tung ,is not properly summed up and placed in the overall perspective of the zig zag course of transition from capitalism to communism ,the negative approach to Moa Tse Tung’s revolutionary achievements in theory and practice shall sustain on the traumatic effect s of this event.. Nature of Teng-Hua Revisionism and revisionist turn of current C.P.C leadership The change of colour in socialist China ,the great bastion of the world proletariat revolution, is such a tremendous loss as many revolutionaries find it difficult to absorb and digest. n India,the leadership of many difficult to acknowledge and digest. In India, the leadership of many communist revolutionary organizations and circles, afflicted with opportunism in varying degrees and of different hues but formally upholding Mao Tse Tung Thought, are banking on the state of mind of their ranks for virtually treating the developments in China as a non-event, deliberately evading or scuttling the issue.”The picture is far from clear’,internal issue of C.P.C,”Indian revolution should be our prime concern’,”two-line struggle is going on between Teng revisionist forces and Hua’s revolutionary forces.” And “support C.P.C headed by Hua Kuo Feng with serious reservations”. A serious effort, on the part of genuine Marxist-Leninists ,is needed to accomplish a thorough exposure of the counter-revolutionary line and practice of the present day C.P.C leadership top enable the vast masses of genuine revolutionaries to see and treat it as the most detestable and cunning foe of Mao Tse Tung Thought. The concentration of the ideological attack on the Teng-Hua revisionist clique of China is necessary because, one,it attempts to utilize and undermine the great prestige of Mao Tse Tung by formally accepting and caricaraturing Mao Tse Tung Thought,tow, at present broad sections of the communist revolutionary movement of India are prone to a right opportunist swing which finds a greater booster in the class –collaborationist international line dished out by this clique. The present day Chinese rulers ,the revisionist usurpers of proletarian state power and party leadership in China are ideologically too bankrupt to challenge the theoretical validity of Mao Tse Tung Thought and feel still politically too insecure to openly renounce it.Instead they choose for the time being, to strangle Mao Tse Tung Thought by malevolent embrace. They rob it of dialectical materialist and revolutionary content and peddle its shell stuffed with eclecticism and pragmatism.In a way,they are doing to MAO Tse Tung what the Russian revisionists did to Lenin.The latter disposed oif Lenin by reducing him to a glorified mummy6 and unleashing a proxy-attack on Stalin who faithfully defended,elaborate3d,and applied Leninsm.Similarly,the Chinese revisionists seek to dispose of MAO Tse Tung by reducing him to a venerable icon and unleashing a proxy ayttack on the four,who faithfully applied and defended Mao Tse Tung Thought.But there is a subtle difference between the 2 situations.Wheras the Russian revisionists had a distance for about 3 decades and consequences of 2nd World War from the time of Lenin to amend or ignore as irrelevant his teachings under the pretext of changed conditions.The Chinese revisionists are denied this esacpe route from the revolutionary legacy of Mao Tse Tung.Mao Tse Tung,til the year of his death and their counter-revolutionary coupd’etat ,used to comment on vital questions of internal and external line of China’s Socialist Revolution. That is why t5he distinguished features of their revisionism is the reversal of the established contemporary revolutionary line,principles and policies at the national as well as the International level.And,to begin with,the reversal of the correct ve3rdicts of the Great Proletrain Cultural Revolution of China. Teng-Hua revisionism in it’s present form is the continuation and development of Chinese revisionism ,which has been engaged in firce contention with Mao Tse Tung Thought for controlling the steering of social development of China since the emergence of New China in 1949.Ever since the central thrust of the Chinese revisionists has been to stall the forward movement of the social revolution,of China on a course charted out by the proletariat,with the slogan of consolidating the obtaining stage of development of the revolution:should this stratagem fail,to sabotage the revolutionary movement in the name of ‘rectifying the excesses of revolution:should this stratagem fail too,hypocytically to hail the victories of revolution and stall the next revolutionary step further with the plea that the revolution had already achieved it’s objectives and other tasks come to the fore:all the while sceming to corrode and reverse the previous gains of revolution. The proletarian revolutionary aspect exerted pressure through ideologically-politically exposing and defeating the particular platform by means of which revisionism ought to gain ground at a given stage, and consolidating and extending the dictatorship of the proletariat over the bourgeoisie in all fields. Uptilthe passing away of Mao Tse Tungand the counter –revolutionary October Coup,the struggle developed under the conditions of the dictatorship of the proletariat.Despite the relative shifts in the balance of forces between the proletarian revolutionary aspect and the bourgeois revisionist aspect of this intensely unfolding class contradiction,both within the party and the state,the former retained its principal mposition and initiative in the struggle.The latter was trounced from one –battle positionafter another was constrained to adopt a new form other than the already exposedand defeated ones.-,in order to be able to contend with the former advanced position.Now,after the October Coup,a qualitative change has taken place;the proletarian revolutionary aspect has been thrown backl to a non-principal position and the struggle is unfolding under condition sof revisionist bourgeois dictatorship[.Obviously,the nature of revolutionary pressure exerted upon the counter-0revolutionary revisionist forces has alos radically changed.Hence,under the new conditions,the Teng Hua revisionist clique can venture to march back to the once defeated revisionist positions and reverse the correct verdictys of Socialist Revolution of China. The reversal of correct verdicts and the proletarian revolutionary line is brought about by this clique in phases through a series of shifting postures corresponding with the changing state of consolidation of it’s counter revolutionary grip over CPC and PRC since the October Coup. The typical pattern of these shifting postures has been that of taking as the point of departure, an established formulation with pinpoints the principla contradiction or the principal aspect of a contradiction but rendering it non –operative for the period at hand by laboring the non-principal aspect of a contradiction or aspects of a contradiction at par in an eclectic manner but letting the weight of the whole argument to fall in favour of the non –principal aspect and elevating it to the principal position without plainly saying so,and ultimately,substituting metaphysics for their earlier eclecticism,inflating the non –principal aspect to the point of virtual negation of the principal aspect.Take for instance,the treatment of the Cultural Revolutionand the relationship of grasping revolution and promoting production, at the hands of the Teng-Hua clique.During the first year of its revisionist usurpation upto the conclusion of the 11th Congress of CPC,the counter-revolutionary consolidation being yet very fragile,the clique had to manouvre in the familiar fashion of the earlier periods ,that is formally accepting the verdicts of the 9th and 10th Congress that the Cultural Revolution was a glorious leap forward of China’s Socialist Revolution but harping on the abuses of the cultural revolution allegedly the result of the four’s harmful influenceFormally,upholding the Cultural Revolution, in other words,significance of grasping revolution,then, giving it a revisionist twist to draw the conclusion that the tasks of revolutionary transformation,having already been accomplished should give way to the urgent tasks of promoting production.Apart from being a pretext for formally terminating the Cultural Revolution,this revisionist logic insinuated that the Cultural Revolution did not embrace did not promote production.They propogated that during the G.P.C.R.,due to ultra-leftist policiesand interference of the Gang of four,the development of production was adversely affected in some fields and to overcomethis lag and boost production,the focus of the whle workhas to be shifted to the four modernizations.The appraisal of the Cultuarl Revolution was made an open questionand the need to critically examine it and sum up its experience was stressed.Thus the correct verdict of the 2 party Congresses on the Cultural Revolutionstood suspended.During the next yaer,having passed the critical; phase of it’s counter-revolutionary consolidation,the Teng-Hua revisionist clique felt bold enough to declare the glorious decade of the Cultural Revolution to be aperiod of veritable calamity for the economy and the peole of China.The clique moaned that the chaos of the Cultural Revolution had thrown the economic development of China mnay years back and what had been consolidated during this decade was not the dictatorship of the proletariat over the bourgeoisie but fascist dictatorship.Revolution and productionwere made to appear to be antithetical phenomena,one developing at the cost of another.So,in the name of seeking unhindered development of production,revolutionary mass movements were prohibited,revolution was banished.In this way the Teng-Hua revisionist clique effected the reversal of the established guiding principle of Socialist Construction,’Grasp revolution and promote production.”The correct verdict on the chief exponents and the chief opponentsof the Cultural Revolution was also reversed.Now the four were labeled as bourgeois counter revolutionaries,and Teng Xiaping and Liu Shao-Chi became great proletrain revolutionaries. The Teng-Hua revisionist clique has reversed all the verdicts of Socialist revolution of China,and the essential components of Mao’s proletarian revolutionary line Mao Tse Tung’s theory of continuing revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat has been replaced with the theory of productive forces i.e. the theory of capitalist restoration. By pushing four modernizations relying on foreign finance capital,t has replaced Mao Tse Tung’s line of building an advanced Socialist economy by mainly relying on China’s own potential, its resources,and the conscious dynamism of revolutionary masses of the Chinese people. Mao Tse Tung’s line on foreign affairs has been replaced, with the line of solely opposing Soviet Social Imperialism and its accomplices from narrow bourgeois nationalist considerations..They curry favour with imperialist states led by U.S Imperialism and betrayed the revolutionary movements of the peoples of the world. They have justified and prodded the war preparations s of U.S.imperialism and it’s allies ,thus opposing genuine anti war movements of the world peole led by the International proletariat. It allies itself with one of the two imperialist groupings in the name of utilizing inter-imperialist contradictions ,that is the line of capitulating to imperialism and aspiring to become a regional hegemonist power.The Teng-Hua revisionist clique has replaced MAO Tse Tung’s analysis of semi-feudal,semi-colonial countries of Asia,Africa and LATIN America and the pressing tasks of democratic revolution and national liberation at the hands of the revolutionary movements of these countries.It projects the defence of independence and promotion of national economies in these countries, as the primary task of the revolutionary movements, instead of national and democratic revoluition.It flouts Moa Tse Tung’s celebrated thesis on the differentiation of the bourgeoisie of colonial and semi-colonial countries into two wings, that is anti-imperialist national bourgeoisie and pro-imperialist big bourgeoisie in describing the countries ruled by big bourgeoisie and feudal calluses as the main force in the struggle against imperialism and hegemonism.It flouts an important tenet of Mao Tse Tung Thought according to which the character of the phenomena is mainly determined by it’s principal aspect in describing the character of these countries as basically anti-imperialist because of the numerical insignificance of reactionaries and agents of imperialism inhabiting these countries. It has also reversed the correct verdict of the International Communist movement on Titoite revisionism as the counter revolutionary agency of Imperialism, and bestowed upon it’s honor of being not only a genuine anti-imperialist force but ,more a genuine Marxist Leninist force successfully building Socialism in Yugoslavia. Conclusion The historical fact that every contemporary variety of opportunism was driven to an inevitable clash with Mao Tse Tung Thought and ultimately crashed against the solidity of its theoretical edifice and the efficacy of it’s political guidance, and that it is not amenable to formal acceptance and revisionist adaptation as the Chinese Revisionists are now finding to chagrin, is a veritable indicator that Mao Tse Tung Thought is the indispensable ideological weapon of the International proletariat to defeat the onslaught of opportunism against the revolutionary orientation of world proletarian revolutionary movement. On his 86th birthday we triumphantly wave the red flag of Comrade Mao Tse Tung and express our gratitude to the Chinese proletariat for providing us with Mao Tse Tung Thought.
