Organisational proposals in a discussion about the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt as well as in Greece or France
I was thinking these days of “what has to be done” These are just notes more or less spontaneously. I give them now just to stimulate discussion.
With the ongoing protest and revolt in Tunisia, your reactions on it and comparing it somehow with the latest protest/strikes in France it became clearer for me “what is to be done”.
There has a concrete elaborate analyse to be made which will “unmask” the real underlying struggle.
I will give now some points, that has to be worked out more concretely and correctly. (Read further here)
Each year a gathering of communist parties and orgnisation all over the world is organised by the WPB in Brussels.
(see www.icsbrussels.org )
But in fact as I will prove this is a gathering of organisations – I will give the example of the Greek KKE- seriously “contaminated” by opportunism (dogmatism, eclecticism, empirism) and some organisations are totally lost in revisionism and are in fect transformed in REFORMIST (so objactively BOURGEOIS) organisations. Of the last ones I will give the example of the WPB. The other organisations are part of one of those two catagories. I will take the example of the “General conclusions” which are approved by ALL the participating organisations. In a sequence of articles I will prove their opportunism.(Read further here)
The “renewal” of the WPP between 2004 and 2008 is ideologically and politically based on “The Resolution of 1999”. NON-agreeing with that resolution could be one of the reasons of being expelled out of the party as the by Boudewijn Deckers leaded installed leadership in 2004 argued against Nadine Rosa-Rosso and Luk Vervaet.
Now, in the “in memoriam” texts and speeches, the ACTUAL leadership is insinuating and suggesting that Ludo Martens was the main-responsible for that “Resolution of 1999”. Or that he AGREED with the political and ideological line of that text. (Read further here)
Dear,
I am sending you (or your organisation) this letter/mail, because somehow you are presenting yourself (or your organisation) as “communist” or “revolutionary” or “applying Marxism” (or scientific socialism or dialectical and historical materialism....).
Well, I consider myself also as such.....(read further here)
Dear,
I sent you the following letter/mail (in fact the second one..). Perhaps your organisation is participating yearly to the International Communist Seminar. When your organisation is not in anyway linked to the ICS, probably I found you on the Internet .....(read further here)
On 1 and 2 October this year (2012) the KKE organised a European Communist Meeting in Brussels for to find a unified point of view on the following subject: “Assimilation or rupture? The illusion of the pro-people management of capitalism and the struggle of the communists for the interests of the working class and popular strata, for the overthrow of capitalism, for socialism.”(read further here)
Where the KKE (see other article) perhaps hoped to get good discussions and ideological struggle and so to come to one unified revolutionary strategy in which the coming revolutionary struggle for change in Greece could be placed and where the struggle of the rest of the European workers could be defined (seeing the European workers as one and the Greek workers as a part of them... and the revolutionary change in Greece just as the begin and as a part of the revolutionary struggle of all European workers for the change of power in whole Europe.... the most parties did not went into discussion and just presented their views and programs of activities.(read further here)
Boudewijn Deckers , national cadre of the WPB (PVDA/PTB) and political and ideological “godfather” of actual WPB-president Peter Mertens formed the actual leadership and members of the WPB in the propagation of REFORMISM formulated in Marxist-sounding phraseology:(read further here)Most important reason of EXISTENCE of the EU: increasing continually the level of exploitation of the European workers.Karl Marx:“The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as ―an immense accumulation of commodities, its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity[1]”.
The analysis of a commmodity, it is presumed to be known, otherwise best to be red in the book “Capital” itself.
But I think that there is a Bourgeois economic concept which (only) illutrates reasonally well the “accumulation of commodities” and that is Gross Domestic Product (GDP). And when I am right, GDP is the accumulation in one year – in a country, in a continent or in the whole world of products and services, produced in that country, continent or in the world and sold at their prices).(Read further here)

In fact what is happening in Greece is what has happened in a similar way in what ever was called “the countries of the Third World”. Massive loans were “given” for investment in production (and for buying machinery and products in the imperialist countries so increasing THEIR Gross Domestic Product or THEIR economic growth so “solve” the overcapacity-crisis) which would realise a growth in GDP IN those “third world countries” with which those loans could be paid off (so was supposed by the governments of those “third world-countries) (read further here).
What has to be done? Is it the organiising “the Unity of the left”?
Is it sectarism that the KKE refuses an alliance/united left front with Syriza?
Is it “understandable” that they refuse because of the practices of Syriza?
Is there an evolution to the left against austerity on which there has to be an answer of an “united left front”?
....and what are other “communist parties” saying, .......for example the WPB (PVDA/PTB)
Is the WPB similar to the KKE whith THEIR refusal of a left (electoral !!) front as they seem to do until today? (Read further here)
The Greek Communist Party, the KKE took the initiative of the “International Communist Review". In the EDITORIAL of the first issue of the «INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST REVIEW» is said:
“(T)he “International Communist Review” expresses the necessity of cooperation among theoretical and political journals of Communist Parties that have common positions on a series of fundamental theoretical and ideological issues.... (...), the defence of the principles of Marxism-Leninism, of proletarian internationalism, of the necessity of a socialist revolution, of the dictatorship of proletariat and of the construction of a socialist society.
We rally our forces to contribute to the theoretical and ideological reorganisation of the international communist movement on a stable Marxist-Leninist basis, despite our different approaches to tactical and strategic issues....(read further here)
My opinion is that a lot of Communist Parties, also those who participated to this meeting, and also when they are to consider as authentic communist parties defending their revolutionary ambitions, are “contaminated” with some ideological opportunism (mostly -as I should say – with forms of dogmatism and eclecticism). And - as I see it - that opportunism makes them “blind” for real revisionist developments (revisionism is a bourgeois ideology formulated in Marxist-sounding phrases) (Read further here)
On 1 and 2 October the KKE organised a European Communist Meeting. I made my comment about the initiative itself (here), I commented the “contribution” of the WPB (PVDA/PTB) here and the (at least those in English) contributions of some of the participating parties here.
I think at the end one can detect a contradiction between the attempt to develop (with discussion, study and ideological struggle) a revolutionary strategy (as the KKE for example is doing, but also some other parties in the ECM.....) and the attempt to submit the parties of the ECM to a REFORMIST “strategy (using some existing points of opportunism in a pseudo-Marxist reasoning).(Read further here)
On the initiative of the KKE the “International Communist Review” was founded in 2001. In that year the 1st Issue was made (and published on the website) Now is published on that same website the 2nd Issue. As well in the 1st as in the 2nd Issue the first contribution is made by cadres of the WPB (PVDA/PTB) So one can say that the WPB is considered as an important contributor of valuable Marxist and COMMUNIST analyses. For me it is obvious that there exists a blindness to real revisionist developments as it happens before the eyes of themselves considering as watchful observers.(Read further here)
