Red Salute to Comrade Abu Ahmed Fouad (Major General Daoud Maragha) – PFLP

The Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Polit Bureau of PFLP mourned its comrade, the great national leader of Palestine, Major General Daoud Maragha “Abu Ahmed Fouad,” the former deputy secretary-general of the Popular Front and one of the most prominent military leaders of the Palestinian revolution, who passed away on Friday (18th January 2025), after a struggle with illness.

The party said in an obituary statement: “Despite his suffering from illness in recent months, Comrade Abu Ahmed Fouad remained present in his heart and mind, following the developments of the Palestinian struggle, preoccupied with following the destructive Zionist war on the Gaza Strip. He believed in the inevitability of the victory of the resistance and saw in the determination of Gaza, its people and fighters, and the bravery of its resistance, evidence of the ability of the new Palestinian generation to create new equations that put the occupation in an existential predicament.”

The Party pledged to the masses of the heroic Palestine people, the free people of our nation and the world, our late comrade, and the blood of our martyrs and heroes across the battlefields to remain loyal to those who paved the path of freedom with their blood.

In the presence of leaders and representatives of the Palestinian resistance factions, Dr. Samir Al-Rifai, the Palestinian Ambassador to Syria, the leadership, cadres, members and and a large crowd of people from the Palestinian camps, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine buried Major General Abu Ahmed Fouad in the Syrian capital, Damascus.

After the body was buried, Comrade Omar Murad, member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front and head of the Political Department addressed to the people on behalf of the Party:

Today we bid farewell to a great figure of the revolution and armed struggle, a historic leader who was witnessed by all the battlefields in the heart of Palestine, Jordan, and Lebanon… a genuine political, national, nationalist, and international leader. Today we bid farewell to our comrade, former Deputy General Secretary Major General Abu Ahmed Fouad. In the line-up of Comrades Al-Hakim (Dr. George Habash), Abu Ali Mustafa, Abu Ammar, Abu Jihad, Al-Yassin, Al-Shaqaqi, Haniyeh, Al-Sinwar, and all the martyrs for the course of Palestine National Liberation, Comrade Abu Ahmed Fouad also fully engaged in the revolutionary struggle, relentlessly performed all duties, and fulfilled the trust. He confronted the enemies who pursued him until his last moments.

We, all the remaining
comrades and all the masses in the resistance have sworn to continue the path of the revolution and struggle until achieving the goals and liberating Palestine. We all bid farewell to our leader at a time when our people are celebrating the victory of Gaza and the people of Gaza, and the guns of the revolutionaries are drawn, declaring the defeat of the fascist Zionist enemy that accepted the complete withdrawal from Gaza and the liberation of the prisoners, the eagles of freedom, despite the war of extermination, ethnic cleansing and mass destruction.

We also salute to the heroes of Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa and all the fighters and to all the resistance forces and to all the countries that stood with our people and our people in Gaza, supporting our struggle.

Abu Ahmed, revolutionary leader, we bid you farewell today with more determination and resolve to work to achieve Palestinian national unity within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization based on the program of resistance and liberation.

Glory to the martyrs, freedom to the prisoners, victory to our great people!

As Biden and Trump Fight each other Claiming Credit for Ceasefire, It is upto the Palestinians not to fall into the Trap set by Fascist Yankee-Zionist Axis !

As Biden and Trump Fight each other Claiming Credit for Ceasefire, It is upto the Palestinians not to fall into the Trap set by Fascist Yankee-Zionist Axis !

The extremely fragile nature of the truce – comprising both ceasefire and hostage release – between Israel and Hamas announced by mediator Qatar on 15 January 2025 has already exposed as US-backed Netanyahu regime continued its genocidal airstrikes killing at least 75 Palestinians and injuring around 230 in Gaza on 15 January night itself. Meanwhile, far-right and terrorist sections of the Zionist regime are reportedly opposing the ceasefire deal leading to a delay in Israeli cabinet’s approval of it.

After all, Biden, as outgoing president, has already lost his control over the US military machine. And the world clearly knows that Israel is primarily a ‘military outpost’ of the US and that the reins of the Netanyahu regime including the massive supply of weapons to Israel and horrific war-crimes committed on Palestinians by it, are all based on the diktats of US. For, it was the US that on 20 November 2024 vetoed and blocked a UN Security Council Resolution through which all members of UNSC (except the Yankees) demanded a permanent cease-fire in Gaza and the release of all Israeli hostages. At that time, the US representative Robert Wood’s sole justification for vetoing the resolution was: “… the proposed language would have sent the wrong message to Hamas.”

Now the facts are obvious. Neofascist, far-right and reactionary Trump, who is to ascend the US throne on 20 January with his motto of “America First”, and “Make America Great Again” (MAGA), has his own imperialist priorities including the approach to ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the Israeli war. It was Trump’s Middle East Envoy who played the decisive role in the present truce. And, as already noted, even ministers of Netanyahu regime are aware of the fact that the present truce is superimposed by Trump on them with its repercussions on Netanyahu’s own political future itself. At the same time, well-meaning people are aware that regarding US imperialist foreign policies and geopolitical strategies, there is no fundamental difference between Republicans and Democrats, and the present Trumpian move on Gaza is only transitory and necessitated by short-term political expediency.

Of course, for the most persecuted and oppressed Palestinians, who are in a “living hell”, even a temporary halt of incessant bombings and massacres will be of great relief. As the first phase of truce will take effect from 19 January, international community can take initiative for channeling the much-needed humanitarian assistane to Palestinians. At the same time, it is upto the Palestinians and Palestinian Liberation forces to move forward, with the firm solidarity and warm support of all anti-imperialist democratic forces the world over, towards the ultimate objective of establishing a secular, democratic Palestine fully liberated from the clutches of imperialism and Zionism. Viewed in this perspective, and since fascist neo-Zionism is the antithesis of a liberated Palestine, the Palestinians and all their Resistance Forces should have a cautious approach to the present truce and they have to take care not to fall into a plausible trap set by imperialist-Zionist axis.

In Solidarity with Palestinian People!

Agriculture Minister’s Escapist Approach to Farmer Leader’s Indefinite Hunger Strike is Condemnable!

admin — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 16:58:58 +0000

As farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal’s indefinite hunger strike at Khanauri border in Sangrur district of Punjab enters the 37th day, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s statement that the government will abide by the Supreme Court’s directions on farmers’ demands is condemnable. The farmers under the banner of the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), are spearheading the struggle putting forward, among others, two important demands, i.e., a legal guarantee for purchasing their crops at a minimum support price (MSP) and a farm loan waiver.

A goverment having any concern for the farmers should have accepted these minimum demands through ensuring legal guarantee for them. The apex court’s task is to examine the Constitutional validity of such laws. Hence this move on the part of the fascist regime, which has no qualms to go to any extent in serving corporate agribusiness companies, as was proved in the case of draconian Farm Laws, is a cunning move shirking its duties.

Therefore, while resolutely condemning Modi government’s anti-farmer approach, CPI (ML) Red Star stands in solidarity with both the farmers organisations and agricultural workers unions who are camping on the inter-State boundary of Punjab and Haryana since February 13, 2024. We also call upon all progressive-democratic forces to rise up in solidarity with the farmers and the indefinite strike of farmer leader Dallewal.

Syria Transforms into an Intensive Geopolitical Hotspot with further US-NATO Manoeuvering in Westen Asia!

Syria Transforms into an Intensive Geopolitical Hotspot with further US-NATO Manoeuvering in Westen Asia!

After withstanding 13 year-long imperialist-backed civil war and international sanctions, the sudden collapse of Assad regime in Syria within 12 days, is the outcome of a host of factors, the most important being the fall-out of inter-imperialist conflict in Ukraine and Zionist aggression on Palestine. Russia’s preoccupation with Ukraine war and its abrupt withdrawal from Syria based on a reported deal with US president-elect Trump, even as Biden Administration is increasing its arms-supply to Ukraine, coupled with the shift in priorities of Iran, the strong ally of Assad and weakening of Hezbollah like forces in the war with Israel are the immediate factors facilitating the fall of Assad regime which was in deeper political-economic chaos, with its GDP declining from $ 68 billion in 2011 to $ 9 billion in 2013!

This enabled the anti-Assad forces, especially the Turkey-backed Islamist Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS) and its ally Syrian National Army (SNA) and others like Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) patronised by US to advance towards Damascus and capture power forcing Assad to seek asylum in Russia. Taking advantage of the situation, the Israeli regime, the US imperialist military outpost in West Asia, amid its horrific genocide in Gaza, had unleashed around 400 missile strikes on Syria and is in the process of its biggest occupation of Golan heights inside Syria, for which, it has announced a $11 million plan of doubling it’s population there.

Now, the Islamist militia HTS, backed by both Turkey and US and indirectly by NATO forces, now in major hold over the Syrian regime, lacks an ideological- political economic orientation needed for overcoming the biggest downturn of Syria and, as such, there is little hope of any improvement in the living conditions of the masses in the days ahead. Meanwhile, with Turkey on the North and Israel from the South, both directly backed by US imperialism, are going to play their respective destabilising roles in Syria. Definitely, other countries, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon from other sides, and other gulf countries having varying links with different forces in Syria, the coming days will be of utter chaos and unpredictable, especially in view of the experiences from US role in Afghanistan, Iraq and Lybia.

Meanwhile, Russia will have to take extra efforts if it wants to protect its sole naval base in Mediterranean, along with its air base in Syria. At the same time with history’s largest military budget of $895 billion, the US, and led by it, the NATO forces and all far-right regimes of Europe will utilise the political vacuum and chaos in Syria for their heinous geopolitical agenda including destabilization of the entire West Asia. In the immediate context, the regime that is taking charge there will be a tool of imperialist manoeuvring, while Syria with its strategic location is going to be one of the most important geopolitical hotspots in West Asia. The most serious threat of all is that the developments in Syria will act as a catalyst for intensification in imperialist-Zionist horrors on the most persecuted Palestinians, and its escalation to entire West Asia.

Most painful of all is the inhuman response on the part of European powers which generally welcomed the downfall of Assad. For, many EU imperialist regimes led by Germany have already issued threats against Syrian asylum-seekers and of massive deportation of Syrian refugees, as HTS advanced towards Damascus. The irony is that during Assad’s rule there was a tacit encouragement from EU sources for massive exodus from Syria.

At this critical juncture, it is the task of all democratic, progressive and revolutionary communist forces the world over to rise up in solidarity with the exploited and oppressed people of Syria, and unite with all like-minded forces there in resisting, and keeping away the heinous machinations of all reactionary forces, especially the US-Zionist axis. It also requires the intervention on the part of working class and all oppressed peoples of the world with an ideological-political clarity to rise upto the ocassion with a political alternative to imperialism and fascism that carry on holocaust upon holocausts on world people.

In this context, CPI (ML) Red Star declares its wholehearted solidarity with all democratic, revolutionary and like-minded forces in Syria and the world over in the uncompromising struggle for democracy and liberation of Syria from imperialists and their lackeys of all hues.

One Nation One Election’: Draconian Move Towards a Fascist Unitary Regime

‘One Nation One Election’: Draconian Move Towards a Fascist Unitary Regime – CPI (ML) Red Star

The High-Level Committee (HLC) constituted in September 2023 and headed by former President Ramnath Kovind for examining the issue of holding simultaneous elections, has submitted its Report on 14 March 2024. The Modi Cabinet that approved the suggestions of HLC on 12 December 2024 has decided to introduce the draft legislation for simultaneous polls to Lok Sabha and Assemblies in the ongoing winter session of the parliament. Since a separate constitutional amendment that require the ratification of state assemblies is needed for simultaneous elections to Local bodies, it will be taken up separately.

After the formal adoption of India as a republic in 1950, during 1952, 1957, 1962 and 1967, both Lok Sabha and Assembly Elections were held simultaneously. However, on account of the subsequent premature dissolution of Lok Sabha and Assemblies on many occasions, elections to them started at different times. Since then, recognising this concrete reality, no serious discussion had been there in the political mainstream on conducting simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assemblies. And in spite of all round decay and degeneration of ruling class politics, the period since 1960s also saw the emergence of many regional and state-level parties, often aspiring for states’ specific-issues both at the regional and state-level.

However, the rapid growth of RSS and its numerous affiliates in the post-Emergency neoliberal situation beginning with the Ram Janmabhoomi movement culminating in the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992 altered the political discourse in the country. RSS’ pan-Indian majoritarian homogenizing drive with BJP as its political tool got a boost with the ascendancy of Vajpayee regime. Its initiation of the most regressive neoliberal indirect tax regime, first VAT and then GST, that took away the federal rights of states over taxation, laid down the economic basis for this unitary move. Integrally linked up with this and backed by the hard-work of leaders like Advani, who was the most ardent proponent of simultaneous elections, the Law Commission under Vajpayee regime, firmly imbibing the unitary agenda, had come forward with its proposal of simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assemblies in 1999 itself.

With the coming of Modi government in 2014, the idea of simultaneous elections got a big push when the NITI Aayog, that replaced more than six decade-old Planning Commission in August 2014. For, the NITI Aayog presided over by Modi in 2017 published a Working Paper one-sidedly highlighting a number of benefits of simultaneous elections such as reduction in election expenditure, increased voter turnout, improved governance, reduced disruption to public life, reduced frequency of elections and associated costs, etc. Its Paper cunningly kept silence on the harmful consequences such as advantages of the ruling party at centre, undermining of federalism and diversity of sub-continental India, etc.

The anti-federal clamour for simultaneous elections got a further push since Modi.2 onwards, and revealingly, though BJP lacks a majority-mark in parliament under Modi.3, the pan-Indian unitary drive is intensifying without any let up. Appointment of Kovind Committee in September 2023, it’s submitting of the Report in March 2024, Cabinet approval of it in December 2024 and its introduction to the winter session of Parliament, all in break-neck speed, are inseparable from the maddening Hindurashtra offensive by RSS-led Sangh Parivar. If not resisted and defeated, it will be disastrous for the country and its many diversities of sub-continental proportions. And, the ‘one nation one election’ agenda will subvert state issues in the guise of national issues.

Simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assemblies at this juncture, by sidelining and overshadowing specific issues confronting different linguistic and ethnic communities, disproportionately benefit All India parties, especially the ruling party at the centre, and will dilute the relevance and influence of state-level political forces. If implemented, it will be detrimental to the federal structure of Indian state. The logistical issues connected with the availability of EVMs in elections in India, world’s most populous country, are yet to be discussed. According to preliminary reports, for simultaneous elections, the Election Commission has to more than double the number of EVMs, which itself, if successful, will take a time-span of minimum three years. Since Indian manufacturers may not have the capacity to double output of machines even after scaling up, foreign companies may enter to fill the gap, especially regarding procurement of chips and other crucial materials, with unforeseen consequences in conducting elections.

To be precise, coming to the core issue, the idea ‘one nation one election’ is an outright superimposition of a unitary and anti-federal agenda in tune with similar moves like one language, one culture, one police, and so on. It is a draconian, fascist drive over multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and federal India. We appeal to all democratic, secular and anti-fascist forces and all well-meaning people to unitedly come forward challenging and defeating this fascist move

Greetings from CPIML Red Star to the National Unity Congress of Revolutionary Communist Party of Nepal

Greetings from CPIML Red Star to the National Unity Congress of Revolutionary Communist Party of Nepal

Comrades,

On behalf of Comrade Tuhin and myself personally, and on behalf of our party CPI(M-L) Red Star, I wish the success of the Unity Congress of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Nepal (RCPN). We are grateful to you for inviting us to this historic Congress.

Comrade, today your Congress is being held at a time when the danger of fascism and war is looming over the heads of the world. Donald Trump, the fascist face of American politics, has regained his lost power and returned to power for the second time. This event proves that there is a fertile ground for fascism all over the world. As long as the acute crisis of the imperialist and capitalist economy persists and its solution is not found, the danger of fascism will remain. Donald Trump’s victory has shown that fascism cannot be stopped by simply removing it from power. If an alternative narrative of fascist politics, economics, social policy and philosophy cannot be created, if a real solution to the crisis of capitalism that is the birthplace of fascism cannot be presented, then anti-fascist victory cannot be achieved by defeating the fascist force in the elections alone. Defeated fascism is capable of restoring the lost power from the liberals without an alternative socio-economic path and alternative political program with double vigor and power. You will notice that in the forties of the last century, on the one hand, the liberal bourgeoisie was able to present the Keynesian alternative against fascism, with the strength of which it was able to build the “Golden Age of Capitalism” over the next three decades. On the other hand, the communists had the Soviet alternative. Such an alternative that even the crisis that destroyed world capitalism in the Great Depression of the thirties could not scratch it. Today, the bourgeoisie has no alternative. The communists do not have one. Although the first world campaign of socialism achieved initial success, it is currently facing a crisis all over the world. This lack of alternatives is what is helping fascism survive and grow. We must pay attention to this.

Friends, the source of the power of the fascist RSS/BJP in India too is this lack of these alternatives. The Modi government has returned to power for the third time. Just as this government is continuously exploiting and oppressing the workers, farmers, poor, and working people of India, dividing people on the basis of religion, imposing the life of second-class citizens on Dalits, tribals, religious minorities, and women, it is also carrying out aggressive expansionist hegemony on its neighbors including Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the international arena. The nexus between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Adani has reached such a point that these days it is being called ‘Modani’. This Modani is not only capturing rivers, forests, and land everywhere in India, but is also capturing the ports, airports, and land of all the countries of South Asia by bringing the governments into its fold. It is trying to control public life. The communist forces, democratic forces, and the people of all the countries of South Asia need a united resistance against this. Comrades, since the ruling class of India is a vassal and conscious partner of imperialist capital,the strategic junior partner of US imperialism into the conflict against China, an important part of the conflict between the people of South Asia and the international imperialist powers is the united struggle against Indian expansionism. In addition, the struggle must be continued against the US-led bloc and all imperialist powers, including China and Russia, in this region. In this perspective, in the backdrop of the failure of international lefts, the united resistance struggle launched by the Marxist-Leninist forces in Palestine against Zionist Israel with all other forces of resistance including Hamas is a noteworthy model before us.

Comrades, you are waging a long-standing struggle to build a new Nepal, an independent, sovereign, democratic and prosperous Nepal. We, the revolutionary communists of India and the democratic people of India, are by your side. Your victory in this struggle is certain.

Comrades, Nepal is a great country. This country is the birthplace of the great Gautama Buddha. Today, the Brahminists have distorted Gautam Buddha and reduced the socio-political movement initiated by Buddha to a religious movement, thereby killing the revolutionary spirit of Buddha. But Gautam Buddha was not only an ambassador of peace, compassion and friendship, he was an ambassador of revolution in every sense. He was the first to give the message of creating an egalitarian society by opposing the caste system and preaching equality. We firmly believe that the people of Nepal are great, and that the Communist Party of Nepal will succeed.

We pray for the success of your Unity Congress.

Let imperialism, Zionism, fascism, Hindutva fascism be gone.

Proletarians and oppressed of the world unite!

With revolutionary greetings,

Sankar & Tuhin

Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Star.

CPI (ML) Red Star Resolutely Condemns Shri Ram Sena Targeting Comrade Manasaya

admin — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 15:45:27 +0000

n Karnataka, the Shri Ram Sena, one of the Hindutva outfits, has come out against CPI (ML) Red Star Polit Bureau member and TUCI General Secretary, Comrade R Manasaya for his firm opposition to the Manuvadi and Islamophobic tirade in the State. As the venomous Hindutva fascists, following the footsteps of Savarkar and Golwalkar, are engaged in their maddening Hindurashtra offensive, targeting Muslims and Dalits in the State, the Party and its cultural activists led by Manasaya are in the forefront of ideologically and politically exposing and resisting the fascists.

It is in this context that the threatening statement of Shri Ram Sena, as published in Kannada newspapers, has come up against Manasaya asking his apology, together with the warning of ‘funeral procession’ and his effigy burning in front of his residence in Raichur.

We appeal to the working class and all oppressed including the minorities in Karnataka to come forward for a united offensive against the far-right, reactionary Hindutva fascists, and request all progressive-democratic forces to to stand in solidarity with Comrade R Manasaya.

Rather than Trump’s Victory, US Election Result is an Ignominious Failure of Democrats!

admin — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 03:40:32 +0000

Victory of far-right, Islamophobic and neofascist Trump, who is facing felony charges, in US election as it’s 47th President marks a reactionary context in contemporary politics. Rather than Trump’s victory, the election results are an ignominious failure of the ideologically bankrupt Democratic Party which is incapable to resist neofascism or resolve the inherent US domestic economic crisis. Obviously, the Democrats including Biden and Harris were competing with Republicans in backing the Zionist war crimes and genocide in Palestine, often using it as a cover to divert vast majority of Americans’ simmering discontent against the regime.

Victory of Trump whose election campaign was led by Musk like biggest US corporate billionaires, has also resulted in a record surge in both dollar and bitcoin and skyrocketing of equity markets. Like Reaganomics of the late 1970s, Trumpism is going to be a landmark in US economy’s ultra-right turn in the days to come with its global repercussions, even as Trump is often projected as isolationist and protectionist in economic policies. In the absence of an effective political alternative, under Trumpism, living conditions of the working class and all oppressed including the immigrants, Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians and so on, are going to worsen further in the days ahead, while corporate super-profits are set to reach horrific levels.

No doubt, Trump’s victory will enthuse neofascists of all hues including that of India, where the Hindutva fascists high adulation of neofascist Trump is already known. Organisations like Republican-Hindu Coalition were active in Trump’s election campaign and its outcome will have its after-effects in India too. Though a dramatic shift in US foreign policy in relation to US imperialist interests is not in the offing in the immediate context, much will depend on Trump’s policy declarations that follow his ascendance to power in the next year.
