Statement of the World People’s Resistance Movement – South Asia
Under the pretext of waging a “War Against International Terrorism” the imperialist powers led by the US have unleashed a permanent war of genocidal terror against the peoples of the world. The attacks on key targets in the US on September 11th 2001 have been exploited by the US ruling class as a justification for unleashing a global war of aggression and conquest. US imperialism has declared a permanent state of war against all States, Regimes, Nations, movements and struggles that stand in the way of defending and expanding its empire. This is as a way of resolving a spiral of deepening recession and intensifying crisis. The only way out of this crisis for the US is to re-establish undisputed global hegemony in order to exercise decisive control over the resources, labour power, and markets of the world. In essence and in effect, the US has declared a permanent state of war against the peoples of the world. The policy of the US imperialism is to redraw the political map and restructure the international order where it alone can exercise unipolar global hegemony. These developments are an explosive expression of the confrontation between imperialism and the oppressed nations and the people of the world.
US imperialism has announced its intention to deploy weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, against any force it considers its enemy any time and any where. It has already demonstrated this intention and capability against the people of Afghanistan, and is now preparing to attack Iraq with evermore destructive violence and terror than before. It is also supporting Israel in waging a sustained genocidal offensive aimed at crushing the heroic national liberation struggle of the Palestinian people. The immediate aim of US imperialism is to crush all resistance and opposition, entrench puppet regimes and establish military-- strategic supremacy in the Middle-East and the Caspian region in order to gain decisive access and control over the vast oil resources of the area and to drive out all its rivals. The rivalry and contention among the various imperialist powers, all of whom face recession and crisis simultaneously, is bound to intensify and propel the imperialist system towards evermore destructive crisis and violent upheaval on a global scale. This logic of destruction of imperialism stands in direct opposition to the very real possibility of the people of the world rising up to claim the earth and a bright new world without domination, exploitation, oppression and WAR.
Already, across the world, there is mounting opposition and resistance to imperialist globalisation and to the US-led crusade. Sustained peoples struggle against mounting repression in Peru, Philippines, Palestine, Turkey, Nepal, India, and elsewhere provide living testimony to a rising tide of anti imperialist revolutionary struggle on a world scale that is bound to develop in waves.
South Asia is a concentration of imperialist domination, exploitation, and oppression and a focal point of revolutionary struggle and people’s resistance. This struggle and resistance is directed against the most brutal and intensifying imperialist domination, neo-colonial exploitation and plunder, feudal oppression and national subjugation. The vast majority of the people of South Asia have been thrown into desperate poverty and intolerable misery and have waged the most sustained struggle for liberation, independence and freedom from this system of domination, exploitation, oppression and state terrorist repression. The People’s War in Nepal against the autocratic-feudal-monarchial regime backed by imperialism, particularly US imperialism, which has advanced in leaps and waves against intensifying state terrorist repression, is a concentrated expression of this struggle and resistance and provides a beacon of hope and inspiration to the people of the world. We shall resist with our all combined strength against the efforts of the US and India to intervene to crush the People’s War in Nepal. In the same manner we shall defend the people’s wars being prepared, initiated and waged in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, particularly the people’s war waged in Dandakaranya, Bihar, West Bengal and elsewhere in India.
All the States of the region function as junior partners in this domination, exploitation, subjugation and plunder, with India occupying a hegemonic position and playing an expansionist role. The US is moving into a strategic partnership with the Indian State in order to exercise joint regional hegemony in South Asia with the aim of crushing all revolutionary struggles and resistance. The US has penetrated the region politically, economically, culturally and militarily in order to advance its agenda of waging a permanent global war and intensifying exploitation and plunder in the region. US strategic penetration in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka has endangered independence and fatally threatened the life and livelihood of the people of South Asia.
In the face of this grave challenge posed by the US-led crusade, anti imperialist forces from India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have united to form the World People’s Resistance Movement – South Asia (WPRM –SA). Our aim is to unite mobilise and lead the masses to oppose the US-led global terrorist crusade and to support all just struggles, including revolutionary struggle and people’s wars led by Maoist forces, as part of building and advancing the world-wide anti imperialist resistance movement.
Only such a world people’s resistance movement can oppose and defeat the US-led crusade. Through this it can contribute in building the political foundations for achieving a world without domination, exploitation, oppression and war. We call upon all anti imperialist, democratic, progressive organisations, forces, and individuals of South Asia who see the need to oppose the US-led global terrorist war and to uphold all people’s struggle against imperialism to join and build the WPRM -- SA. This way together we shall build up a tidal wave of resistance to imperialism that will shake the system to its foundations and pave the way for a world without domination and war.
