Theory: Chile’s Revolutionary Communists under Pinochet (http://kasamaproject.org/2011/09/23/theory-chiles-revolutionary-communists-under-pinochet/)

Theoretical work of Chile’s Revolutionary Communist Party is now available — as they summed up their experiences in the Allende years, the Pinochet coup, and the international communist movement.
This work is available here, on Kasama, in Spanish — as a series of pdfs. These essays are from the period of the late 1970s to 1981 — when the RCP of Chile was seeking to help regroup the international communist movement, and thinking through the implications of events in China after the rise to power of Deng Xiaoping and his pro-capitalist politics.
(One of the articles deals with Pinochet going on a state visit to China.)

We would like to thank those who did the work of making this material available and Rosa Blanc.
The journal Causa M-L is in Spanish. We would welcome English translations of key articles.
Background:
The great radical upsurge of Chile’s people in the early 1970s, included a number of revolutionary currents that grew, even as the electoral-socialist Allende government came to power.
Among them was the Revolutionary Communist Party of Chile — which was formed as a Maoist party in 1966 and played an important role in the events that followed, including the resistance to the 1973 U.S.-backed fascist coup led by General Augusto Pinochet.
The RCP-Chile also plays an important formative role in the regroupment of Maoists after 1976 — presenting a form of communist thinking and politics that was marked by its both creative and fiercely revolutionary character. In the crucial period around 1980, the RCP-Chile (and its leading figures in post-coup exile in Europe) actively helped regroup Maoists internationally, in the project that would give rise to the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.
A few of the RCP-Chile’s writings have been available broadly. Jorge Palacios’ book is a must read for revolutionaries wanting to understand Chilean events, the impact of pro-Soviet politics in the 1970s, and a penetrating approach to Marxist analysis: Chile: An attempt at “historic compromise” : the real story of the Allende years (http://www.amazon.com/Chile-attempt-historic-compromise-Allende/dp/0916650111).
However, before now, the larger body of the RCP-Chile’s theoretical work has been unavailable. We are now offering some of it here on Kasama — in the form of pdf’s of several issues of the organization’s theoretical journal Causa Marxista-Leninista.
