Framing new movement: A revolutionary festival in Crete

A report from Greece by the Winter Has Its Endproject.

by Sopiko Japaridze, Eric Ribellarsi, and Sara Khaled

Sometime around 7 A.M., our group of reporters stumbled back to the apartment we’d been staying at. Making our way through the maze of narrow street corners, we are greeted by the sunrise.

All night, until 8 A.M., Crete’s May Days festival went on, fusing communist politics and local culture.

Together, we‘ve been reflecting back on the last two days of nonstop camaraderie and politics.

The young Greek communists who put together this festival here in Heraklion, Crete (the capitol city of an island south of the Greek mainland) infuse politics with a flourishing radical culture. The organic fusion between people’s enjoyment of music, dance, food and politics has been nothing like the political world we come from.

We’ve come to Crete for the “Delayed Maydays Festival.” It’s situated in the center of a park in the heart of Heraklion, the capital city of Crete. All around, young communist students hang ful banners bearing slogans and art. One slogan reads

“With the people at the front, we can find a way out.”

The Georgiadis park is beautifully shaded by trees cooling everyone under them. Trash bags are taped to the trees to easily collect trash. Chairs and tables brought from homes are placed underneath the shade and throughout open areas. There are vendors selling everything from apricots to jewelry. A table is set up with kegs and kegs of beer and hard alcohol for mixed drinks made to order. Marinated pork souvlaki is cooked on grills, which KOEs members keep going day and night. They use hair dryers to keep the coals going despite the wind.

Reconstruction of society

Back in Athens, we’d heard that the Communist Organization of Greece (KOE) believes that it is very important to “reconstruct” the Greek society “socially, politically, and economically.” This phrase captures the spheres of the society that KOE believes will have to be profoundly transformed to bring about a revolutionary future in Greece.

INTERVIEW WITH NICKGLAIS OF DEMOCRACY AND CLASS STRUGGLE

West Bengal - Release of political prisoners : Review Committee debate revisited

http://sanhati.com/articles/5194/

June 27, 2012

by Ranjit Sur

“Giving a huge sigh of relief to the TMC leaders and party workers implicated in various cases in connection with both the cognizable and non-cognizable offences, the West Bengal government has now decided to withdraw charges against them. The state government is planning to withdraw simple charges as well as serious charges like murder, possession of illegal arms and the cases in which non-bailable warrants have been issued against the Trinamool workers. West Bengal Law Minister Malay Ghatak has said that Trinamool workers were framed due to the political rivalry by previous left regime. Sources say that the government has issued directions to withdraw cases against nearly 500 party workers implicated in various cases concerning to the previous violent protests in Singur, Nandigram and North 24-Parganas. The state Law Ministry has asked all the public prosecutors concerning to these cases to act in this direction and ensure their release. Following the orders, the public prosecutors have already sent a proposal to the concerned DMs in this regard.”(JPN/Bureau)

With this order, the Government of West Bengal has resolved a long-standing debates amongst the rights workers and political forces of “third stream” in West Bengal. When questioned by members of the media, the West Bengal Law Minister and Government pleader rightly argued that the Government has every right to withdraw cases and release prisoners by applying Sec 321 of CrPC , adding that the Government wanted to apply that rule only. They are not doing any illegal thing. The Law Minister and the Government Pleader is absolutely right in their argument. What they had not said but should have said is that even convicted prisoners can be released applying Sec 432 of CrPC.

But where is the debate and how it is resolved ?

A joint note by PUCL and PUDR

To ask for papers proving guilt in black and white,
Is useless for there need be no such papers
The guilty have proof of their innocence
The innocent often have no proof.
- Bertolt Brecht

Introduction

On the 8th of June 2012 Additional District Judge, Sunil Kumar Singh, Presiding officer of the District and Session Court, Allahabad, pronounced life imprisonment to 36 year old Seema Azad, writer and editor of Dastak (a monthly magazine) and the Organising Secretary of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties, Uttar Pradesh branch, under waging war against the Government of India and for offences related to being a member and supporter of a terrorist organisation. Her husband Vishwa Vijay too was similarly sentenced. The Judgement came exactly after the two had spent twenty seven months (two years and three months) in Naini Jail.

This Judgement has once again exposed how the Indian Security Establishment, the Police and the Intelligence are working in tandem with a section of the Judiciary and that any arrest made in the name of Maoism and Terrorism can be justified by invoking the draconian laws like the UAPA and the colonial era security provisions of the Indian Penal Code. Through this judgement there is also an attempt to send a warning to all activists of their fate if they are going to be questioning Government policy or hold alternative views.

Leaders of oppressed groups join Nepal’s new Maoist party

http://southasiarev.wordpress.com/

Jayapuri Gharti Magar–leader of All Nepal Women’s Association (Revolutionary)

Two thirds of the leaders of groupings under the old UCPN(M) have joined the new revolutionary Maoist party in Nepal, led by Mohan ‘Baidya’ Kiran. These groups (also called ‘sister wings’) include leaders of the Maoist women’s organization and most of the national liberation fronts.

“The sister wings represented suppressed communities that the Baidya faction has always stood for while Pushpa Kamal Dahal had said that he had dug his own grave by forming ethnic fronts in the party. So it is natural for the chiefs of sister wings to spurn Dahal,” said Santosh Budha Magar, chief of the Magar National Liberation Front.

The article originally appeared at MyRepublica.

20-odd chiefs of sister wings join Baidya’s party

by KIRAN PUN

KATHMANDU, June 21: With only one-third of the UCPN (Maoist) central committee members joining the newly-formed CPN-Maoist led by Mohan Baidya, one would have speculated that only a few lower rung leaders would follow suit. But, this has been proven wrong.

Almost all the chiefs of around three dozen sister wings — considered the backbone of the mother party — of the UCPN (Maoist) have joined the new party. They had sided with Baidya ever since the beginning of the rift in the UCPN (Maoist). This has left only around a dozen chiefs of sister wings in the mother party.

An environmental emergency confronts humanity and earth's ecosystems today. This emergency has many dimensions, but most grave is the threat of unstoppable climate change. The reliance on and accelerating demand for fossil fuels—gasoline and natural gas—are the greatest source of the carbon emissions that are choking, and warming, the planet. The U.S. alone, with just five percent of the world's population, is responsible for more than one-fourth of all the carbon emissions in the atmosphere. The ever-expanding search for oil has also led to massive oil spills that have done immense environmental damage.

So it is not surprising that the Keystone XL Pipeline has become an early hot-button issue between the sitting president and his challenger. Environmental concerns are supposed to be one of the issues where the Democrats and the Republicans, and their presidential candidates, stand in stark relief.

Now we have a Revolutionary Party

Yes, now we have a new revolutionary party: Communist Party of Nepal, Maoist. It was the real rupture with the revisionists of 21 first century.

The national gathering has named Prachanda –Baburam gang as the traitor of the Nepalese revolution.

They are the leading figures of 21st century revisionism. The gathering has declared the UCPN (Maoist) led by Dahal as being a rightist and a neo-revisionist group. Now there will be no tag of Mao thought (Maoism/Mao thought) with Maoism. Marxism-Leninism- Maoism will be the guiding principal of the party. The mass line will be People's revolt. There will be the '4 preparation' and the step will be The protracted People's War.

The three day national gathering of UCPN( Maoist) revolutionary faction has been concluded. More than 3000 leaders and cadres participated the gathering from the 75 districts.

Comrade Mohan Baidya had endorsed political document that proposes revolt the Peoples War as its main political line. In the document, Baidya has declared that Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Baburam Bhattarai as the main obstacles to the Nepalese revolution within the UCPN(Maoist). He has mentioned : ''We should struggle against the rightist revisionists and capitalists, bureaucrats and compradors.” In the document, Baidya has stated that it was a mistake to follow 'Prachanda Path' and termed the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) a betrayal to the people, country and the revolution.

Similarly he has focused that : Chunbang meeting of the party, which adopted the line of democratic republic, took the party toward a rightist revisionist line. He has further stated in the document that the 12-point agreement signed in 2005 and which paved the way for the April movement of 2006, was a first attempt to abandon the Maoist revolution. This agreement rendered the party closer to the capitalist political parties and imperialists and expansionist forces. Comrade Dev Gurung endorsed the new party´s statute. The national gathering also decided to hold its first general convention in February, The party has decided to go for a collective leadership system.

The gathering has declared Baidya as chairman of the new party, Ram Bahadur Thapa as general secretary, CP Gajurel as secretary and Netra Bikram Chand and Dev Gurung as the members of Standing Committee. There were 44 CC members from the 'UCPN-Maoist' . Now the number of central committee will be 75. The first CC meeting will decide the name of remaining CC members . To day afternoon, party has organized a press meeting and the official decision will be announced there.

Real rupture with the rightist revisionists, Marxism-Leninism and Maoism as the party's guiding principal, New democratic revolution: people's revolt in the foundation of the People's War, collective leadership are the main decisions done by the national gathering.

The Next Front will post the Nepalese/English version of the Document of Com Mohan baidhya 'Kiran' .

It is true there are some issues to be solved. Some issues are not clearly mentioned and defined. The document has not focused on international communist movement-ICM and RIM . The document has not focused deeply on the drawbacks and shortcomings done by revolutionaries in the past and during the 'peace process' .

No matter we have done some ideological and political decisions. It is the first step to move a head. But the main thing is its practical implementaion.

Let us march a head.

News updates and reports on the ongoing resistance of evicted people at Nonadanga

http://sanhati.com/articles/4853/#16

Update from Uchched Pratirodh Committee

Reported by Parag

After a brief period of relative lull, the struggle of the people of Nonadanga region in Kolkata has entered a new phase. While the collusion of the corporate entities for whom land is sought to be acquired with the ruling dispensation and its machineries, the metropolitan development authority, the police, judiciary has become clearer as the struggle intensified, there is now a new strategy in the direction of repression, as new terms for getting rehabilitation: “You have to become Trinamool Congress cadres, and detach yourselves from the ‘outsiders’ who have supported the movement till now, denouncing it as a mistake”. This is what Firhad Hakim, the Municipal and Development Minister of West Bengal, put as a condition before the slum-dwellers when he came to Nonadanga on 14th June, at around 7:30 pm. Addressing the residents, he gave the condition that if the slum dwellers agree to give a public statement that have mistakenly ‘allied with the outsiders’, only then will rehabilitation be given. For the rehabilitation, he said that primarily a 10ft-10ft room (temporary shelter) near Nonadanga will be given, and did not mention anything specific towards any permanent rehabilitation under B.S.U.P. project. When he was pressed by the slum dwellers to either give a written assurance or a public statement to the effect in front of press laying out his promise and conditions, because earlier they have been deceived by false promises of various ministers and political leaders, he refused to give any such written and public statement.

Here s a piece that appeared in today’s New York Times, seeking to explain and situate the rise of SYRIZA in Greece. Kasama is not sharing this because we assume the accuracy of any part of this evaluation, but because it is interesting to see how the flagship of the capitalist press reports on these events.

SYRIZA is a broad coalition rejecting the horrific austerity imposed on Greece. Within it some revolutionary communists work as a minority current.

Sympathy for the Radical Left

By ROSS DOUTHAT

IT is difficult to envision an American parallel to Syriza, the far-left political coalition that has a chance to throw Europe into further turmoil with a victory in this weekend’s Greek elections. But imagine a movement that combines elements from Occupy Wall Street and Ralph Nader’s 2000 presidential campaign, and you have a sense of where Greece’s leading opposition party would fit in the American political spectrum.

Comrade Murad El-Chuini, released less than a month ago after serving 4 years in jail is arrested once again!

Three days ago, and when he was in his way to Marrakech, comrade Abdeljalil Elhamdaoui was arrested in Ouarzazat. Com. Abdeljalil was one of the inspiring leaders of the heroic Student Uprising in 2008, of The Student Union (NUSM) and of the revolutionary trend within it called The Democratic Basist Way (Maoist).

Before that uprising took place, he has been excluded by the university decision due to his relentless struggles and activism and his unique dedication to mass cause. His militant and fighting reputation, as well his simple and clean soul, has gathered a mass of students around him in a battle against the exclusion decision, but it also made him the most WANTED by reactionaries.

Since 2008, he has been prosecuted by the police until he was caught the 13th June, 2012. yesterday the took him from Ouarzazat to Marrakech for investigation. And investigation in Morocco is the equivalent of torture and abuse!

RELEASE OUR COMRADES

RALLY FOR THE SOLIDARITY WITH OUR COMRADES AND ALL POLITICAL DETAINEES!

LONG LIVE OUR HEROIC BATTLES OF THE MOROCCAN PEOPLE!

National Convention of UCPN Maoist Red Faction - Speeches in Nepali by Comrade Kiran and Comrade Biplav

http://democracyandclasstruggle.blogspot.in/

The national gathering of the state committee-level cadres of the Mohan Baidya faction of the UCPN (Maoist) started on Saturday.

Inaugurating the gathering in Bouddha, Baidya aka Comrade Kiran lambasted the party leadership saying that it proved to be a complete failure with the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly. He also said his group was "in the process of forming a new party".

Nearly 2000 cadres from around the country are participating in the gathering, which comes a day after the mass meeting organised by the party establishment in the capital.

A Revolutionary faction led by Senior Vice Chairman of the party, Comrade Mohan Baidhya 'Kiran' of UCPN (Maoist) organized National Convention to determine the further direction of the party, its struggle and goal.

As the party leader mainly Chairman Prachanda and Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has led the party into the revisionist line, the revolutionary faction have been disapproving on every way possible. 'The reason behind organizing this convention is the only ultimate option left' Comrade Gaurav mentioned, 'the revolution shall not be stopped'

Every cadre, people from the base, proletariat class, farmers, workers and progressive people is hopeful about this convention to bring revolution, a change which has been negotiated so far.

PUDR Statement on the awarding of life sentence to Seema Azad and Vishwavijay

http://sanhati.com/

June 11, 2012

PUDR strongly condemns the verdict of a lower Court in Allahabad awarding life sentence to Civil Rights activist Seema Azad and her spouse Vishvvijay on charges of sedition, waging war and under several provisions of the draconian law, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Additional District Judge Sunil Kumar Singh, while pronouncing the order, also slapped a fine of approximately Rs 70,000 on the couple. The couple were arrested from Lukerganj locality in Allahabad on February 6, 2010 by the Special Task Force (STF) of Uttar Pradesh, which claimed that Maoist literature was recovered from their possession and that they were associated with a banned organization, the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Their arrests were made by the Special Task Force, but the case was later handed over to the Anti-Terrorism Squad of UP making it a case involving terrorist activity.

Seema Azad’s incarceration and sentence is a clear case of silencing dissident voices. Her arrest followed Seema’s active chronicle of people’s movement. She was actively associated with women’s liberation front till 2001 and with the revolutionary students’ movement till 2004. Seema is also an active member of PUCL, Uttar Pradesh. Furthering her concern towards violation of people’s rights she brought out a new magazine, Dastak, which carried out a thorough investigation of the Ganga Expressway plan which threatened to displace thousands of farmers. She published the findings of her survey in form of a booklet and distributed copies. Dastak also published a long report on the arbitrary arrests and torture of Muslim youth in Azamgarh. Seema’s arrest came in the wake of the growing efforts to sensitize people of violation of their rights and other concerns relating to human rights. Seema and Vishvvijay’s arrests were a move to crush such efforts on the pretext of containing efforts of incitement against the government. Following the detention, bail petitions were presented in court many a times. Each time the petition was rejected for Seema’s ‘dangerousness’ to the status quo constructing a civil rights activist into a naxal. Seema’s conviction is one of the many cases where proscription under UAPA shows its true colours. By banning an organisation as “terrorist” and thereby banning even its literature, it becomes possible for authorities to target anyone by accusing that person of having links with a banned organisation. Thus legitimate activities become unlawful and therefore offensive.

PUDR staunchly denounces the judgement as being representative of the efforts of the government to squash critical voices and extends support to the cause taken up by activists such as Seema Azad.

RDF Statement on the National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC)

http://sanhati.com/

June 7, 2012

Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF) condemns in strongest words the proposed National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC) which the Indian state is planning to build. Formed clearly under the diktats as well as guidance of US Imperialism, this fascist institution is going to unleash severe repression on all voices of dissent and criminalize protests of all kinds in the garb of fighting ‘terrorism’. The NCTC is going to be a central body and it has given its officers powers of arrests, search and seizures under the draconian UAPA. The Indian state which has capitulated completely in front of the imperialist powers, indeed require such draconian punitive measures to curb the mounting resistance of people against the loot of resources, and devastation of lives and livelihood in the name of ‘development’.

The US has played pivotal role in determining ‘internal security’ of India since quite some time now. In the year 2000 the NDA government allowed the FBI to open its first outpost in New Delhi to keep watch on ‘US interests’. This was further bolstered by the signing of New Framework Agreement for US-India Defense Relationship in 2005 and the 123 Nuclear Agreement. The current NCTC is clearly fashioned under US guidance and directions to institutionalize US terrorism on Indian soil. The “counter terrorism policy” of US has openly declared the formation of such mechanism for information gathering, undertaking of covert operations, use of non-state actors, use of and attacks by drones and they have pledged full baking of the US military and intelligence in all such operations. NCTC is clearly a product of this collaboration of Indian state with US.

June 7 2012 -- Glasgow, Scotland

Thankfully, the Jubilee hype is over and we just have the Team GB hype to suffer on the run up to the London Olympics. We’ll still be having Onion Jacks for breakfast, dinner and tea. The EBC and other Brit media outlets no doubt will find other ways to be just as irritating.

Wotsisname, Leader of the Royal Labour Team GB says that Engerland and poor old Wales must decide. No way. Jose. This is a matter for the Scottish electorate and you can try and fiddle it all you like. Wisely, the SNP is not allowing Westmonster to dictate the pace, wording, or timing. Keep it simple chaps so that even the “don’t knows” can’t muck up.

The campaign has to make it a broad “rainbow” alliance based on a wide consensus. Even the Rainbow flag Fox, Colin shares a platform. Anyone with a passing acquainting with the SSP knows that they are for and against Independence. The SRSM did not leave them over who was allegedly having it off with whom, but because of the vindictive attitude to Scottish Independence and a self-racist, self-hating, self-deprecating, self-loathing campaign, not only from the Unionist Platforms, but by the ruling Militant led clique, with funny platform names, such as Socialist “unity”. Nothing more divisive than unity, eh, comrades? The fact that they cannot give a straight answer to a simple question and have to “debate it” tells you all you need to know about them. One Federal Unionist platform advocates spoiling the ballot paper and voting No. You can guess the tortuous convoluted route of the rest of the platforms. “It disnae include; Gay Rights, Abortions, House of Lords, Monarchy”, etc. Then go on about Brian Soutar, as if Labour couldn’t out millionaire the SNP. The SNP took their own line and did not vote as Soapy Soutar wanted, despite the platform‘s repeated lies. This from the people who regularly voted down entrenching their own Clause V, for an Independent Socialist Scotland. By trickery at their own Conferences When it was allowed to the platform it was attacked by all those groups as racist, fascist and Stalinist,” etc. and Republican activists were isolated and vilified by their Brit Nat’s. The SSP National Secretary described their attitude to Independence as “ambivalent”. I created a storm by writing to the Herald and saying, no it wasn’t. It was duplicitous.

Workers, oppressed peoples and nations of the world, unite!

No to the imperialist Zionist and reactionary aggression on Syria and all our Arab country!

Our Heroic Arab peoples,

These days the imperialist Zionist and reactionary attack on our Arab nation is sharpened. In the previous years, imperialists and their puppets used their armies, weapons and bombs, however, nowadays they are laying together with all their armory behind their actual mask : the slogan of “democratization”, calls of “peaceful change”, “political freedom”, “pluralism”, “parliamentary road” and sinister electoral plays which will never change the political and economic situation but will only lead to further intensification of oppression slavery and fragmentation we are living in our Arab country.

Laying behind such fake mask and slogans, imperialists are nowadays pushing their local Arabic obscurantist and opportunist puppets to execute their dirty plans. It’s again the drums of war and military aggression: after the occupation of Iraq in 2003, Libya in 2011, here are the imperialists and their tools the Zionists and local reactionary classes intensifying their campaign, gathering their mercenaries to launch war of aggression against Syria. The world imperialism, living the structural economic crisis, is trying to overcome this situation by throwing the crisis consequences on oppressed peoples and nations.

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) calls on the Filipino people, especially the workers, the Filipino youth and students, their parents, the teachers’ sector and the academe to resolutely oppose the K-12 Program of the US-Aquino regime. The K-12 Program which the Department of Education (DepEd) started to implement this year primarily seeks to further pull down the wages of Filipino workers by reengineering the Philippine educational system to churn out more semi-skilled graduates in a shorter cycle and introducing younger workers into the already wide ocean of unemployed workers.

New Leadership in Nepal - photo by Peter Tobin

The leadership of Baburam Bhatterai and Prachanda in the Nepalese revolution has disintegrated. It has shown that rightist reactionary politics emerged again in Nepal’s history.

The situation has become difficult because their leadership abandoned the goal of the People’s Federal Republic.

But because the proletarian current within the Party is strong the Party has not been damaged and even if we face temporary problems our revolution is safe.

Now the principal task of the revolutionary is to take the movement forward to victory.

We need to evaluate how Prachanda and Bhatterai diluted and corrupted our politics and reach a clear solution based on the points below:
