Happy new year to all Maoist-Third Worldists and our allies!

[AvanteRedGarde]

(http://monkeysmashesheaven.wordpress.com)
Our movement has made impressive gains in the past year. Maoist-Third Worldist cells aligned with Monkey Smashes Heaven (MSH) have increased in North America and in the rest of the world. The Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement (RAIM) has expanded into more cities. Now, we have anti-imperialist activists operating under our banner in a handful of cities in the United States. What is ironic is that even with our correct analysis of the lack of revolutionary potential in the First World, we still manage to do more concrete work than many First Worldist organizations who babble incessantly about “mass line” yet have nothing to show for it. Our honest approach is beating their dishonest approach even on their First World turf. Part of this success can be attributed to the fact that our movement is a movement of intelligent leaders. Our movement was never a wacko cult or pyramid scheme posing as a revolutionary organization.

Our influence in the Third World has increased dramatically also. Our movement is transforming into a nationwide and worldwide movement. First Worldist revisionism has created a situation where “communism” is seen as a joke. First Worldism has undermined the ability of the proletariat to lead the anti-imperialist movement. It is imperative that we make our voice be heard on the world stage in order to break the back of revisionism. The wishy-washy days of the reactionary RIM are over. We must try to take advantage of this opportunity. There is no sitting on the sidelines. We will have none of the fence sitting and opportunism that characterizes the revisionist, fake Maoists.

We’ve published 455 articles, almost every single one is an original piece authored by our writers. Maoist-Third Worldist cells have opted not to follow the example of those whose blogs contain mostly republished materials. The Maoist-Third Worldist movement has the brain power capable of consistently producing high quality, original work. You won’t see us trolling for filler on Counterpunch or Monthly Review, for example.

We’ve made important gains on the ideological and agitational fronts. We’ve expanded our political economy, our global class analysis, with several important articles. We’ve expanded the understanding of capitalist restoration in China with groundbreaking historical work. We have continued our long tradition of film, literary, art, and culture criticism. We have continued our analysis of current events. And, our artists continue to produce groundbreaking videos and other art. Our work is unsurpassed.

Our expectations for next year are high. Some points to think about as we go into 2010:

1. Our movement will be restructuring over the next year. Our movement will be reorganized in a more coherent form. Maoist-Third Worldists should work on solidifying their organizations in anticipation of this. Those who are working on forming cells should try to accelerate their work. Those who want to be a part of this process need to contact MSH.

2. We will be moving toward reorganizing all Maoist-Third Worldist online work. As part of this, we don’t need any new Maoist-Third Worldist blogs unless those blogs have a specific purpose. For example, we would not object to a Maoist-Third Worldist blog aimed at the Indian masses. Also, RAIM or other niche blogs are OK since they serve specific purposes. In general, those wanting to do ideological and cadre organizational work should work with MSH for now. Send MSH a letter about membership.

3. At this point, those who are trying to organize RAIM or similar groups should get in touch with RAIM-Denver leadership. Even though it is important to pick up the pace of our work, we cannot sacrifice line. Right opportunism, watering down the Third Worldist line, is the most important danger in new RAIM groups. RAIM should not sound like Workers World Party.

4. All Maoist-Third Worldists should work to deepen their knowledge of the basics of Maoism-Third Worldism. People should familiarize themselves with the contributions of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. Everyone should re-familiarize themselves with our political economy and with our history of the Soviet Union and China. Ideology is a weapon, we have to keep ours sharp.

5. We need to be heard across the world. We need translations. If you are fluent in languages other than English, you need to step up and help us be heard. This is some of the most important work that needs to be done.

6. We need more people contributing. We need more people taking up writing. We need more monetary contributions to fund publishing and other projects over the
next year.

We carry a heavy burden. The task of regenerating the communist movement lies on our shoulders. Those of the “New Communist Movement,” those who have trafficked in “Maoism,” have misled people for far too long. As their relic of a movement fades from the scene, we will have many opportunities to be heard. We need to step up our work across the board to meet this challenge. New leaders need to come forward and lead. It will be an exciting year!

you are boring, why dont you contribute to the discussion instead of spamming us with your blog endlessly?

you sir, are boring.

He does contribute, I don't think it's his blog, and low-content/off topic posts like this are lame. Quit it.

[Sasha]

modesty is not one of your redeeming features huh...

[Ravachol]

Danyboy,
WTF R U talking about. The stuff I post is by far the most interesting and relevant on revleft. The rest is a circle jerk for effete, insular First Worldists.

Hah, you sure told us dirty 'First Worldist'. I care about class struggle, not an imaginary line like 'first vs third' world. A line that is a bourgois construct no less.

[Sasha]

Really?

yup, logs show that their website had 3 visitors from africa and 9 from asia.

[The Ungovernable Farce]

Years starting in January and ending in December are an oppressive Eurocentric concept. Surely true Third Worldists should only recognise the Glorious Chinese New Year or something? I like the "effete" you throw in there, though. Damn those girlymen!

[bcbm]

so you got a few new members in your group, wrote some articles and expanded your brain power or something.... who cares?

[Pogue]

I trashed the more aggressive posts. Please keep this civil, if you find avanteredgarde so insulting argue him down, don't just throw insults. Same for you avanteredgarde. You have interesting politics but don't be insulting to other users please.

[danyboy27]

sorry didnt mean to offend nobody.

i really dont like third worldism, i just dont see what is the good thing in dividing the working class over the place they where born.

that the best recipies to stay close minded about other people and undermine our effort against the current system.

I really dont like that Demonization of all north americans and europeans.
We are not subhuman, we where just fucking lucky and a lot of us are trying to make a difference about our shit system.

I protested against the israeli offensive in lebannon a fews year ago, but eh, what do i know, i am only a KKKAnadian.

OK. (I'm not on your case here--I'm just curious,) so how are you different than the mainstream (non-restricted) branches of Communism here on RevLeft?

Why do they think they have to restrict you?

What do you have to offer the world that Standard Marxists and Anarchists can't?

(I don't need essays--just a hint of what you are up to and why you are different.)

All the best--Bud.

I kind of feel for AvantRedGarde.

Capitalists and reformists dismiss mainline communists mainly because communism went awry (very badly awry) in China, the USSR, North Korea, etc., and now those very communists are disrespecting AvantRedGarde because he's out of "the mainstream" and only has a few members on his team. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

[ZeroNowhere]

Happy New Year, I guess?

That's not it at all.

[Robert]

What is it then?

[Weezer]

How the Third-Worldist revolution going?

The little bourgeois dandy, racist revolution? Hmm?

[#FF0000]

What is it then?

He isn't disrespected because he's only got a few in his camp. It's because we all violently disagree with third worldism.

[AvanteRedGarde]

Bud. Thanks for the questions.

Maoism-Third Worldism is different than virtually all varieties of nominal socialism, communism and anarchism in that it proceeds from an honest interpretation of class in today's world.

Mao, in the first two sentences of Volume 1 of his Selected Works, asks, "Who are our enemies? Who are our friends?" These questions, though simple, are poignant and universal. Today, the way one answers these questions determines if they are a revisionist First Worldist or on the path of a genuine communist.

MTWists uphold that the principal contradiction is between imperialism and exploited nations. It is this dynamic which primarily defines history and revolutionary struggle. Unlike the typical 'leftist' dogma about a world-united working class, MTWist is drawn from an ongoing reality-based historical analysis. (It is really telling that Zinn's ''People's History of the US" spends all of a couple sentences on Japanese internment, for example) MTWist is scientific: it is explanatory and predictive.

Revleft is a circle jerk. It's a fantasy world where psuedo-revolutionaries go to reassure themselves that they're progressive. It's a bunch of people (mostly kids and young adults) talking to eachother about how progressive the First World 'working' class is on a internet message board. In reality, the First Worldist "revolutionaries" have no traction in the First World. The First Worldist 'revolutionary' 'left' is so non-supported, small and spatially separated that it is forced into little online enclaves, one of many in the 'post-modern' imperialist First World. The First Worldists of Revleft (virtually everyone here) do all this while claiming they represent the interest of the masses.

Revleft is a kind of world-creating and maintaining device for First Worldists. I imagine that many of the administrators and posters spend hours a day on Revleft. It is a significant part of their world, at this time. I, or anyone else, who infringes upon the natural order of the revleft-world is seen to be hostile. That is why I'm restricted.

[Bankotsu]

Do you support south-south cooperation against imperialism AvanteRedGarde?

I would like your views regarding BRIC, BASIC and IBSA blocs.

What is the position of Maoist Third Worldists on these blocs?

I supported the BRIC agenda of ending America's Financial-Military Empire and was restricted.
