Via The NY Transfer News Service * All the News that Doesn't Fit from the Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) MIM Notes, Issue 71: December, 1992 Letters to MIM Two of MIM's fliers received the following responses at an East Coast college: "This is bullshit! Fascists get out!" and "Fascist propaganda!" MIM REPLIES: For the record, MIM strongly opposes fascism. In fact, we believe that history shows Maoism to be the ideology best capable of relegating fascism to the dustbin of history. Since its inception in Italy, fascism has been a reaction against socialism. Whether you look at Fascist Italy's occupation of Ethiopia, or Nazi Germany's expansion in Europe, you will find that fascists pursue a policy of imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism. Communists have been decisive in defeating fascism. Stalinism, which MIM upholds, was a policy of building socialism in the USSR. Thanks to Stalinism, the USSR quickly moved from feudal backwardness to become the world's second-largest industrial power. With its new strength, the USSR was able to play the most decisive role in defeating Hitler's army. This success was also partly due to Stalin's purges of reactionary Party members, which ensured the USSR's role as the only Allied power with no pro-Hitler Fifth Column. It is the anti-Stalinists who fail to defend successful struggle against fascism. -30- *This is a brief on U.S. evil involvement and Grandpapa Africa from 1492-1992.* We, the 466 innocent families at Geneva Towers, were all found to be guilty of letting the previous management company let the Towers become uninhabitable. For our neglect we were all stripped of our Constitutional rights by the new owner of Geneva Towers: the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). There has been no consideration of our citizenship, although we all are American citizens and as such, we thought that the Constitution of the United States of America extended to us 466 American families who reside in the Towers. How wrong we were. We've been treated in the same heinous fashion as were our rightless ancestors when they stepped proudly in chains with their noble heads held high even though they were whipped with bullwhips as they marched down the gangplank of the U.S. Slave Ship Mayflower some 500 years ago. Five hundred years later we are locked in a continuous war for space in these 22-story complexes run by today's slave-runner John Stewart, an official Reservation-Keeper for the U.S. government. The slum conglomerates are making billions of dollars a year in profits off of us, the descendants of those noble African Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses. We, like they, are the 90s biggest Black gold fields ever! The Drug Enforcement Agency's most perfect, heinous scam yet! Just think how many tons of drugs are pumped into the pens nationwide. Look at just Slumlord John Stewart's 35 slum pens in the Bay Area. Now lock them all down 24 hours a day. Let the perverted, terrorist off-duty police moonlighting as "guards" beat the hell out of the population. Let them fill us full of fear of eviction by evicting as many as they need to instill that fear. Let them scatter HOPE II funds and watch John Stewart refuse to make repairs and steal and salt away the millions. Now call on those greedy politicians that had their campaign coffers stuffed with our blood-stained money. Call out those human leeches from the Sun Reporter newspaper and all the other beggar-groups that paint pictures to fool the people as they plunder the truth. Our hard-fought battle began in 1977 when the First Great African Queen of Geneva Towers Tenant's Association (GTTA) discovered a plot to install the Bay Area Urban League as drivers on the plantation. Our Queen was backstabbed and then rewarded with a management position. After I was nominated Acting Chair of GTTA in 1980, I spent days and nights in constant communication with our wounded Queen as she outlined to me what to watch out for and where I had to take GTTA if we were to gain an advantageous position. The Queen told me, "Create the best set of Bylaws that the mind can put together by law. Make them so strict that even you may not think that you can work under them. Do the same thing with your Articles of Incorporation and the 501c(3) tax-exempt status." Thirteen months later GTTA had carried out First Great Queen's orders. GTTA did this by selling cupcakes, aluminum cans, newspapers and other bake sale goods. By the time management figured out what GTTA was doing -- and banned the sale of food stuff -- GTTA had reached its goals. We had our own constitution. "Close down shop, GTTA, if you have to. Resign Africa, Jr. if you must, BUT DO NOT LET MANAGEMENT DIVIDE YOU WITH THEIR OWN CONTROLLED GROUP OF BLIND FOOLS," said Grandpapa Africa. The group of fools came along in 1981. They stabbed us in the back. I hastily planted a group of African leadership seeds that Grandpapa Africa had given to me as he was led away in chains. He whispered to me then, "Plant these seeds down by the River of Hope just as soon as you can, boy. They's got to be fully grown by October 12, 1992." That was on October 6, 1492, the last time I heard or saw Grandpapa Africa from a visual or bodily point of view. He was on a soulful plane -- taking his walking trip through eternity. --Africa, Jr. the 391st, October, 1992 MIM REPLIES: Grandpapa Africa, you did not struggle in vain. It has been a long fight. It will yet be a long fight. The seeds you passed on are flourishing from the mountains of Geneva Towers to the mountains of Peru. Grandpapa Africa is the spirit of the world resistance. When the people slaving inside Amerika look outside this dead culture and witness the consciously donated blood flowing in the Peruvian Andes for the liberation of us all, you, Africa, will finally rest in peace. -30- Dear MIM, Please rush me 10 copies of the new 40-page pamphlet, "Support the People's War in Peru." I've sent this via Express mail because I will be speaking at a public meeting [soon]. Although Peru is not the topic, I want to have this literature available to combat the disinformation of imperialism and the revisionist left. The topic is "elections '92." I am in complete agreement with MIM's assessment: Don't Vote -- Build This Revolutionary (Maoist) Party. The meeting is sponsored by Friends of the People's Weekly World which recently ran a negative article in their paper about the PCP. I've enclosed that article along with a response which I faxed. Hope they print it. -- Long Live Proletarian Revolution September, 1992 [Following is this comrade's critique of the People's Weekly World.] William Pomeroy's article, "The Distorted Path of the Ultra-Left," vilifies the Communist Party of Peru because they have chosen armed struggle over the opiate of capitalist electoral politics. In other Latin American countries, communist and workers' parties participate in bourgeois politics only to find that they have been led into the marsh of opportunism. When the FMLN in El Salvador opposed U.S. orchestrated elections, they too were compared to Pol Pot by reactionaries throughout the world. The Communist Party of Peru is serious about socialist revolution. "Sharing power" with capitalists is not their idea of a government of workers and peasants. For this they are shunned and lied about. But no amount of imperialist slander will defeat a people's revolution. Instead of reinforcing imperialist propaganda against the vanguard of Peru's workers and peasants, it is better to support the revolution and direct our attacks at the cause of Peru's crisis: the Fujimori dictatorship and its puppet master, U.S. imperialism. -30- Subscribe to MIM Notes: Individual: Institutional: 1 year domestic $12 1 year domestic $48 2 years domestic $20 2 years domestic $90 1 year overseas $36 1 year overseas $60 Make checks payable to "ABS" or send cash.
