What is MIM?

The Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) is the 
collection of existing or emerging Maoist 
internationalist parties in the English-speaking 
imperialist countries and their English-speaking 
internal semi-colonies, as well as the existing or 
emerging Maoist Internationalist parties in Belgium, 
France and Quebec and the existing or emerging Spanish-
speaking Maoist Internationalist parties of Aztlan, 
Puerto Rico and other territories of the U.S. Empire. 
MIM Notes is the newspaper of MIM. Notas Rojas is the 
newspaper of the Spanish-speaking parties or emerging 
parties of MIM.

MIM upholds the revolutionary communist ideology of 
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and is an internationalist 
organization that works from the vantage point of the 
Third World proletariat.

MIM struggles to end the oppression of all groups over 
other groups: classes, genders, nations. MIM knows this 
is only possibly by building public opinion to seize 
power through armed struggle.

Revolution is a reality for North America as the 
military becomes over-extended in the government's 
attempts to maintain world hegemony.

MIM differs from other communist parties on three main 
questions:

(1) MIM holds that after the proletariat seizes power in 
socialist revolution, the potential exists for 
capitalist restoration under the leadership of a new 
bourgeoisie within the communist party itself. In the 
case of the USSR, the bourgeoisie seized power after the 
death of Stalin in 1953; in China, it was after Mao's 
death and the overthrow of the "Gang of Four" in 1976.

(2) MIM upholds the Chinese Cultural Revolution as the 
farthest advance of communism in humyn history.

(3) As Marx, Engels and Lenin formulated and MIM has 
reiterated through materialist analysis, imperialism 
extracts super-profits from the Third World and in part 
uses this wealth to buy off whole populations of 
oppressor nation so-called workers. These so-called 
workers bought off by imperialism form a new petty-
bourgeoisie called the labor aristocracy. These classes 
are not the principal vehicles to advance Maoism within 
those countries because their standards of living depend 
on imperialism. At this time, imperialist super-profits 
create this situation in the Canada, Quebec, the U.S., 
England, France, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Italy, 
Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Israel, Sweden 
and Denmark.

MIM accepts people as members who agree on these basic 
principles and accept democratic centralism, the system 
of majority rule, on other questions of party line.

"The theory of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin is 
universally applicable. We should regard it not as 
dogma, but as a guide to action. Studying it is not 
merely a matter of learning terms and phrases, but of 
learning Marxism-Leninism as the science of revolution."
