"Promote the Unity of Maoist Forces
Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Naxalbari
The 22nd of April will mark the 41st anniversary of the foundation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) under the leadership of comrade Charu Mazumdar. This year’s commemoration of this historic occasion has an added importance. It will be taking place in the context of the all-out counter-revolutionary war launched by the Indian state under the code name Operation Greenhunt and the growing countrywide mobilisation against it. Operation Greenhunt is primarily directed against the People’s War being waged in the Central-East regions of India under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). This war is a continuation of the great Naxalbari armed peasant rebellion that broke the shackles of revisionism in the Indian communist movement.
The present situation has two important characteristics – the all-out drive of the enemy and the unprecedented mobilisation of the people. This poses the task of earnestly promoting the unification of all Maoist forces into an even more powerful vanguard. This is not merely a matter of quantitative increase. Primarily, it raises the task of synthesising the rich and diverse experiences of Maoist practices over the years in this continent-like country. The need to defeat Operation Greenhunt by spreading the flames of People’s War throughout the country gives added importance to this synthesis.
The successful completion of the Indian revolution is of great importance for the world revolution. In these days, where the global crisis of the imperialist system is pushing people throughout the world into untold misery, let us redouble our efforts to press forward.
Build the Party all Across the Country!
Spread the Flames of People’s War!
Defeat the Counter-revolutionary Operation GreenHunt!

Med anledning av Lenins födelsedag återger vi nedan ett utdrag ur en utmärkt text av Stalin som skrevs 1920:
"There are two groups of Marxists. Both work under the flag of Marxism and consider themselves "genuinely" Marxist. Nevertheless, they are by no means identical. More, a veritable gulf divides them, for their methods of work are diametrically opposed to each other.
The first group usually confines itself to an outward acceptance, to a ceremonial avowal of Marxism. Being unable or unwilling to grasp the essence of Marxism, being unable or unwilling to put it into practice, it converts the living, revolutionary principles of Marxism into lifeless, meaningless formulas. It does not base its activities on experience, on what practical work teaches, but on quotations from Marx. It does not derive its instructions and directions from an analysis of living reality, but from analogies and historical parallels. Discrepancy between word and deed is the chief malady of this group. Hence the disillusionment and perpetual grudge against fate, which time and again lets it down and makes a "dupe" of it. The name for this group is Menshevism (in Russia), opportunism (in Europe). Comrade Tyszka (Jogiches) described this group very aptly at the London Congress when he said that it does not stand by, but lies down on the point of view of Marxism.
The second group, on the contrary, attaches prime importance not to the outward acceptance of Marxism, but to its realization, its application in practice. What this group chiefly concentrates its attention on is determining the ways and means of realizing Marxism that best answer the situation, and changing these ways and means as the situation changes. It does not derive its directions and instructions from historical analogies and parallels, but from a study of surrounding conditions. It does not base its activities on quotations and maxims, but on practical experience, testing every step by experience, learning from its mistakes and teaching others how to build a new life. That, in fact, explains why there is no discrepancy between word and deed in the activities of this group, and why the teachings of Marx completely retain their living, revolutionary force. To this group may be fully applied Marx's saying that Marxists cannot rest content with interpreting the world, but must go further and change it. The name for this group is Bolshevism, communism.
The organizer and leader of this group is V. I. Lenin."
