CALL: International Conference in Palermo, Italy, January 4-5 2003

Proletarians of all countries, unite!

The international proletariat and the peoples of the world are intensifying their revolutionary struggle to impose the new great wave of world proletarian revolution against imperialism, reaction and revisionism.

Imperialism, headed by Yankee imperialism, in crisis and receiving hard blows, answers with the world ”anti-terrorist” campaign, intensifying the wars of aggression against the peoples, ferociously accelerating the reactionarization and militarization of their states, in the illusion and the hope of stopping the course of history and presenting us a world of new savagery and genocide.

Opposing imperialism, with its ”eternal war” declared by Bush, are the heroic resistance of the peoples oppressed and aggressed by imperialism and above all, the people’s wars that in Peru, Nepal and Turkey are irrefutably showing that revolution is the main historical and political trend in the world today.

The people’s of the world can no longer support imperialism and the immense crimes it is committing in order to maintain the oppression and exploitation if the immense majority of world population and in order to subject them to subhuman living conditions.

Imperialism and their governments are attempting to come out of their crisis by waging war in every corner of the world, but the war returns back home and the grave-diggers of imperialism are developing more and more, including in their own entrails. The imperialism’s ”forbidden zones” and their ferocious repression, from Seattle to Genoa, don’t put out the rebellion but nourishes it and train for revolution. The struggle of the masses, in particular the youth, in the imperialist cities, the great strike movement against the anti-worker and anti-popular policies of the imperialist governments are today stirring up the struggle and are objectively creating more favorable conditions for revolution in the imperialist cities themselves.

The first phase of the revolutionary process is the constitution-reconstitution of new true revolutionary parties of the proletariat, of new Marxist-Leninist-Maoist communist parties. Today more than ever, the target of our class is to develop the struggle to definitely sweep away imperialism, revisionism and world reaction from the face of the earth, for the historical final goal of a society without exploitation, oppression, division into classes: communism. It is for this historical mission, for this unrenounceable task, that the proletariat today is reconstituting its communist party, as a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist communist party in each country.

Today, embodying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism - as Chairman Gonzalo, Great Leadership of the PCP and the Peruvian revolution, teaches us - is indispensable in order to generate Communist Parties capable of truly leading revolution to victory. The new great wave of world proletarian revolution requires Communist Parties united in the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, that initiate and develop people’s wars in each and every one of the countries of the world, as part of the world proletarian revolution, in the service of the world people’s war that we oppose against the imperialist world war.

The battle for the reconstitution of the party of the proletarian revolution is part of the international process of struggle in order to build the unity of the communist at the world level on the basis of the sole and un-withering scientific ideology of the proletariat that today is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, including the contributions of Chairman Gonzalo, Great Leadership of the PCP and the Peruvian revolution, on the universality of the people’s war and on the indispensable necessity of the militarization of the Communist Parties.

In this situation, revisionism and all the opportunists are portraying imperialism and in particular Yankee imperialism as colossal and invincible, but the truth is that it is a paper tiger and that all the wars they launch are missing their targets, while the red banners raised by the people’s wars o Peru, Nepal and Turkey are showing that imperialism can be defeated, that the people’s war is invincible and that we have entered the new great wave of world proletarian revolution.

The constitution or reconstitution of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist communist parties can take place only amidst the fire of class struggle, with close bond to the masses, with militarization through actions, in sharp two-line struggle within the international communist movement, within the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement itself, within the revolutionary movement of each country; combating revisionism and opportunism of every ilk - such as for instance the electioneering and the pacifist, the anarcho-syndicalist economism and petty-bourgeois revolutionism. Without this sharp two-line struggle it is not possible to raise the banner of world proletarian revolution, to unite all communists and revolutionaries under Maoism, in the strategy of the people’s war applied to the conditions of each country and to initiate it as soon as possible for the conquest of power in the triumphant march towards socialism and communism.

Long Live Maoism, down with revisionism!
For the reconstitution of the Communist Parties!
Long Live the New Great Wave of World Proletarian Revolution!
