UNITE! Info #076en-rep: Periodicals info to Stec etc
[Posted: 21.01.2008]
Note: The "UNITE! (etc) Info" posting series (1995-) advocates the
political
line of Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong. For all items, see
www.rolf-martens.com.
INTRO NOTE, 2008:
Here's a html version of an Info, #076en, which I sent in text do***ent
form to
newsgroups etc in three parts, part 1/3, part 2/3 and part 3/3, on
25.07.1998
in reply to a request by Michael Stec <stec@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, Canada. Michael
had
asked me if I could contribute something to a project of his, of
collecting the
names, addresses and other data of communist/leftist or pur****tedly
communist/leftist periodicals all over the world.
One reason for my now providing this Info in a more easily readable (and
also
in part address-updated) form are some questions on such matters put to me
rather recently in two postings to the mailing list MLL by Charles F.
Moreira
<cfm@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, Malaysia (formerly UK, he has told the other members
of
MLL). When replying to him soon, with a message which will also be sent to
the
Modern Marxism mailing list created by me in August 2007, at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modern_marxism/,
I intend to refer, among
other
things, to this repeated Info.
[mailing list MLL:
http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxist-leninist-list]
The situation concerning such periodicals and their respective publishers
of
course has changed quite a bit since July 1998, but I'm *****sing it today
anyway as being basically the same in that im****tant respect, of whether
there
in Europe and North America (for instance) are some really
Marxist-Leninist
parties or other organizations, or not. As far as I can see, there still
aren't
any. That is, the "Big Black Hole" in this respect which I concluded there
was
in 1998 (see below) unfortunately still is there. Some new things very
much
need to be created.
In this repeat Info, I in the main am making no comments on what has
changed
since 1998, only adding a few notes on some changes or disappearances of
addresses etc which have occurred since then.
Hello Michael Stec <stec@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>,
- and I'm Cc-ing this to the unmoderated communist list, in the first
place (to
which others can subscr*be by sending the message "subscr*be communist" to
<Majordomo@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, using no subject line and the undistorted
version of
that word which I've distorted here), and posting it to some newsgroups,
in the
second, recommending people to check out your site at:
<http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/7078commie.html>.
[Added in 2008: Now is replaced with
http://www.geocities.com/capitolhill/7078/,
which has as programme lines
at its
top: "Stec's Commie Pinko Homepage - Workers of the World Unite!".]
And on second thoughts, I'm making this a "UNITE! Info". My preliminary
comments, already written, I call an:
INTRO NOTE [25.07.1998]:
You reminded me of my promise to mail you the addresses of some leftist or
pur****tedly leftist papers. Sorry for having put this off for so long!
There
always seemed to me to be one thing or another that needed priority, but
perhaps I've been neglecting friendly co-operation too much in comparison
to
trying to deal enemy forces some extra punches.
Before now at last putting down, further below, some addresses which I on
my
part do know, together with some comments in each case on the periodical
(plus
responsible organization) in question, I'm including some lines by way of
a
general comment too.
Your project of making a collection, as broad as possible, of the
addresses of
all those papers you can find which are calling themselves "Communist",
"Marxist" etc, etc, of course is a very good one and one that others
indeed
should sup****t.
Another thing is the fact that, at present, it seems very hard to find any
periodical at all, in any country whatsoever, that really is Marxist, that
really, consistently, does stand on the side of the overwhelming majority
of
all people.
Newspapers - and organizations, parties - which may exist in some
third-world
countries, with no Internet contact, I don't know much about, of course.
But apart from that, it must be recognized that a communist or
Marxist-Leninist
movement in the world, of which there could be said to exist not so few at
least smaller elements in many countries some 20 or more years ago, when
China
(with its then still revolutionary, enormous Communist Party of 30+
million
members) was still socialist, today is hardly present at all, or at the
most in
the form of very, very few scattered bits and pieces, isolated from each
other.
This is really something of a "Big Black Hole".
I've been doing, and shall continue to do, whatever I as one individual
can do
to contribute towards remedying this.
For such things, your project of making a list of those papers (etc) that
say
they're Marxist or leftist - however awfully phony they in various cases
may
turn out to be - absolutely is a valuable one. If people want to discuss
and
clarify internationally what's the correct line from the standpoint of the
proletariat, a first requirement of course is their knowing who there
might
possibly be out there to discuss with, in the first place.
End of Intro Note
So here you go, Stec - for now, and any further ones of interest which I
get to
know about in the future I of course shall notify you on too. (I've seen
which
addresses you already have):
NOTE:
I on my part am publi****ng, here in Malmoe, Sweden, mainly in Swedish but
with
a couple of issues in later years in English, a series of leaflets,
INFORMATIONSBLAD (Information Sheet), starting in 1975. A list of them so
far
with titles in Swedish and in English appeared in my 2-part "UNITE! Info
#72en/se" [Added in 2008: part 1/2 and part 2/2], of 12.07.1998. This
leaflet
series however is not a periodical.
A list of my Internet postings so far, from late 1995 on, in the "UNITE!
(etc)
Info" series, appeared in part 6/6 of its #50en, on 22.08.1997. Updates
are
available on request. NB: This series is not defined by me as an "E-zine"
but
is precisely a series of postings, with part of their respective subject
lines
in the respective languages in common.

COMMENT by RM:
A common denominator for that periodical, abbreviated "EDI", and myself is
that
we both sup****t the people's war in Peru led by the PCP and since 1994
have
been denouncing the stabbing in the back of that people's war, in
connection
with the "peace letters" hoax from 1993 on, by the leaders of the
so-called
"RIM" ("Revolutionary Internationalist Movement") and further since 1996
have
been denouncing the "Quispe" gang of phony "critics" but real sup****ters
of the
"RIM" leaders - "Luis Quispe" (W. Palomino) is editor of the "New Flag",
NYC,
USA, organ of the fraudulent "MPP-USA" (see below).
However, there also is a conflict between EDI and myself, in that that
periodical so far still is failing to distance itself from the "RIM" as
such,
which as a "preparatory International", as I've pointed out, from its very
beginning was a complete phony, and whose 1984 basic do***ent, the
so-called
"RIM Declaration", which unfortunately the PCP in Peru is still endorsing,
I
from 1994 on have been proving is a reactionary do***ent, which in today
over
20 languages is continuing to publicly distort and vilify Mao Zedong's
correct
line, trying to lead the international proletariat right in front of the
guns
of its worst enemies, above all those of US imperialism.
[Added in 2008: See my article "Why Does the RIM Help the U.S.
Imperialists
Encircle the PCP?", published in paper form on 12.08.1994 and on the
Internet
on 01.01.1996, now at my homepage as Info #003en.]
I at present don't know how that conflict will be resolved. The debate is
latent. I'm hoping that unity will be possible.
NEWS:
After writing the above lines, I yesterday received the latest issue of
EDI,
No. 47, of July, 1998. It among other things for the first time contains
an
e-mail address to the periodical: "eldiario@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
", which I guess
must be
a misprint for <eldiario@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
> - this will soon be ascertained.
Furthermore, an article in that issue attacking a certain recent phony
campaign
"ˇViva el MRI!" ("Long live RIM!"), which will take me some time to read
properly, i.a. contains the interesting statement that one should not
think
that a real communist International could be built up by proceeding from
the
"RIM".
This is new too, and to me looks like a step forward by EDI. This is one
of the
things I (in the beginning, as "just one lone voice") have been saying
since
close to four years now - via the Net, since early 1996.

COMMENT by RM:
The PTB is a relatively big party, with some 25 contact addresses in
Belgium.
It's led by Ludo Martens (namesake but no relative of mine).
The PTB claims to be a Marxist-Leninist party but is in reality quite
doubtful
as a such, not recognizing the vital im****tance of Mao Zedong Thought and
for
instance, though stating a certain criticism of the revisionism in the
Soviet
Union from the mid-1950s on, maintaining that that state was still
"socialist"
when it fell in 1991, and that today's China and Cuba are "socialist" too.
As one not unim****tant positive factor in the line of the PTB and its
weekly
I've regarded and am regarding their standpoint on and information about
the
Congo (ex-Zaire), the victorious liberation struggle there led by Laurent
Kabila's AFDL, Oct 1996 - May 1997, and the present efforts of the
Democratic
Republic of Congo at reconstruction in the face of massive imperialist
pressure
against that country.
Ludo Martens for instance knows well the struggle of the people in Congo
since
30+ years back, has written several books about it and has been welcomed
to the
liberated country. Solidaire has been - as far as my sources are concerned
- an
unsurpassed source of information on the Congo and the internationally
quite
im****tant liberation struggle there. With the PTB is also connected the
only
more im****tant movement abroad of solidarity with the Congolese people
that
I've gotten word of.
There also have been at least a few positive contacts between the PTB /
Solidaire and El Diario Internacional.
Decidedly a negative factor is and has been the - rather shame-faced -
hosting
by the PTB, since May 1995, of a certain pur****ted "kind of preparatory
International", the so-called "International Conference", whose very basis
clearly is an attempt to whisk away the absolutely necessary sharp
differentiation between Marxism and the so-called modern revisionism of
the
ex-Soviet-Union type, letting in then some already beaten forces which are
extremely hostile to the proletariat, once more through a back door.
While the "RIM" (see below) was always a muppet of, and a long-time
"Operation
Subversion" by, the CIA of US imperialism, the "International Conference"
is a
corresponding manoeuvre in which forces of Russian new tsarism have at
least an
im****tant say (together with such quite directly of US imperialism and
other
international reaction). Both of these entities must be exposed, attacked
and
killed, or at least neutralized completely, by the Marxist-Leninists, for
a
real International eventually to be possible at all. (The same goes for
that
smaller "reserve entity" in the USA, the "MIM", which has some presences
at
being a "preparatory International" too.)

COMMENT by RM:
Partisan says it's for the line of Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong. It's one of
rather many periodicals which sup****t (i.a.) the people's war led by the
PCP in
Peru (and had representatives at the Founding Conference of The
International
Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr Abimael Guzman (IEC) in
Duisburg,
Germany, in February, 1993 - which was when I got into contact with it in
the
first place). But, unlike some others, it has always stated this sup****t
of its
to be a critical sup****t - which IMO is a positive thing.
The Voie Prolétarienne is not one of the participants of the "RIM" -
likewise
positive.
But it i.a. is against nuclear energy (precisely in France too, which has
a
high pro****tion of such in its electricity production!), which is very
primitively reactionary and puts the character of that organization highly
in
doubt. Also, there was considerable hesitation (and some debate in
Partisan),
back in 1996-97, about whether really to sup****t the then insurrection led
by
the AFDL in the Congo. These are two factors which point to there being,
after
all, influence of US imperialism in that group.
Further one must wonder why they (still) aren't on the Net ("unsuitable
shyness" - resources must be there).

[Added in 2008: Verlag Neue Einheit now has website at
http://www.neue-einheit.com/.]
NOTE 2:
The (apparently) last issue so far of the magazine NEUE EINHEIT appeared
in
December, 1994 (entitled "Zusammenfassende Nummer 1991 bis 1994" -
"Summary
Issue 1991-1994"; the second-last in 1991: "Zusammenfassende Nummer
1990").
Before that, there were 1 or 2, or sometimes more, issues per year.
In that (so far) last issue, there still appeared as publisher of that
periodical:
Zentralkomitee der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands /
Marxisten-Leninisten
(NEUE EINHEIT) - Central Committee of the KPD/ML (NEUE EINHEIT) (as was
the
official abbreviation of that party's name), and as
Editor responsible: Klaus Sender;
Editorial Board: Klaus Sender (Ed.-in-Chief), Uwe Müller, Walter Grobe,
Klas
Ber.
Since then, the above party has been liquidated (apparently in 1995; on a
"NEUE
EINHEIT Extrablatt" in October, 1995, its name no longer appeared). It was
publicly stated, in an Internet posting in August 1997, that "that
organization
was now going by the name of": "Gruppe NEUE EINHEIT" ("Group NEUE
EINHEIT").
It's unknown to me whether that "Group" has officially taken over the role
of
the former party as publisher of that magazine or not.
COMMENT by RM:
On the truly historical treason, from approximately the mid/late 1980s on,
by
that formerly so excellent and, despite its always being quite small,
extremely
im****tant Marxist-Leninist party, the KPD/ML (NEUE EINHEIT), with which I
was
in close contact from 1974 until April, 1990, see several Internet
postings by
me, above all:
'VEREINIGT EUCH! Info #49de: Kritik der NE, 1990' (11 parts, containing
above
all an Aug-Sept 1990 criticism by me, in corresponding to some 40 pages A4
in
German [Added in 2008: See Teil 01/11 etc.]) and 'UNITE! Info #50en: My
line &
"weklu's" weak lies' (6 parts) [Added in 2008: See part 1/6 etc], both of
22.08.1997.
[Added in 2008: Three main points of my 1990 criticism of that party were
shown in English translation in my later Info #106en, "More rattler 'NE'
writhings", of 30.07.1999, part 3/7.]
That group of people, though absolutely not to be trusted, still retain
considerable knowledge in various fields and thus I recommend people to
read
their stuff, while warning all to take very good care not to fall in any
of
their traps and to check very carefully on each and every statement of
theirs
concerning political and other matters.
N O T E:
The periodicals noted and commented on above are the ones I consider to be
the
politically relatively most im****tant ones among those which I'm informing
you,
Stec, and others about in this posting. When I'm criss-crossing a bit
between
countries here and am not bringing all the periodicals from the same
country
together, this is also due to my having put those which I hold are of the
greatest interest first.

COMMENT by RM:
This is the main (more or less direct) publication of that miserable
swindler
entity the "RIM" (see below).
It's only "inspired by", and not "the official organ of", the "RIM", it
declares. But for instance, it's housed in the same building where, i.a.,
also
the "RIM" has "its" only sort of "official address", that of the so-called
"Information Bureau of the RIM".

Emergency Bulletin
of the International Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr Abimael
Guzman (IEC)
BCM-IEC
27 Old Gloucester Street
London WC1N 3XX
UK
Tel/Fax: +44 - 171 - 482-0853
In English. Edition also in Spanish. Period between issues, and
subscription
rates: Not available.
NOTE:
Published from 1993 on, and in the beginning bi-monthly, later monthly,
went to
over 40 countries. I'm uncertain whether it in practice still exists
today, and
don't know when was its latest issue.
(Note 26.07[1998], after first posting: It does still exist; "EB #60"
appeared
in February 1998; "#61" "promised" for "soon" on the "IEC" website under
"CSRP", USA.)
[Added in 2008: It's unknown to me for how long the Emergency Bulletins
continued to be published. Apparently at least no such are being published
today. On the Internet I recently found, at http://www.csrp.org/eb57.htm,
Emergency Bulletin #57 (January 1996), with the note: "Emergency Bulletins
from
the International Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr. Abimael
Guzmán.
- IEC Emergency Bulletins offer the most current information on the
developments of the campaign and activities from around the world. These
are
published by the international office in London. In the US, Canada, and
Mexico,
contact the IEC-US to receive them by postal mail -- a subscription is
$1.50
per bulletin to cover the cost of postage and reproduction."]
Abimael Guzman is identical with the chairman of the PCP in Peru, comrade
Gonzalo, held in captivity by the reactionary regime in Peru since
September,
1992.
COMMENT by RM:
As can be seen from its address, this Emergency Bulletin is a publication
that,
in practice, is very closely connected with "AWtW" and the "RIM".
This however is not, and was from the very beginning not, officially so.
The
Emergency Bulletin is the organ of the IEC, which is organizationally
quite
independent of the "RIM" and all other organizations respectively
entities, and
was founded at a conference in Duisburg, Germany, in February, 1993.
The IEC has its programmatic basis, as a united-front organization, in its
Call
for Defending the Life of Dr Abimael Guzman, and a set of statutes
consisting
of its by-laws, which were decided on at the above conference.
I was in on that conference, as one of two official delegates from the
(already
provisionally founded) Emergency Committee in Sweden, and as such was in
on the
decisions on the IEC's programme and by-laws. I from that conference on am
member (one out of two representing the IEC chapter in Sweden) of the
highest
deciding organ of the IEC, its Steering Committee (SC, originally
consisting of
42 members), which at the founding conference also elected an executive
organ
responsible to it, the IEC's Co-Ordinating Committee (consisting of 3
officers
of the IEC).
In 1994, that IEC Co-Ordinating Committee (its government, so to speak)
flagrantly contravened the IEC's by-laws, by failing to circulate to all
the
other SC members a certain proposal of 12.04.1994 by me, as one SC member
(the
contents of that proposal being that we, the IEC, internationally publish
that
im****tant declaration by the CC of the PCP in Peru of 07.10.1993 which
refuted
the reactionary "peace letters" hoax but which the "RIM" was continuing to
suppress). That Committee thus made itself illegal, which it remains
today.
This also means that the Emergency Bulletin "of the IEC", controlled by
that
Committee, today - if it still does exist - is a pirate publication, not
really
of the IEC. (On its still existing, see 26.07[1998] note above.)
My public call from February, 1995, for the convocation of a plenary
meeting of
the Steering Committee (or parliament, so to speak) of the IEC, in order,
among
other things, to depose "our" now illegal "government", still stands.
Another matter is the question of what practical im****tance this has
today,
when, apparently, the entire IEC, which once did mobilise considerable
m*****
for a just cause, has been more or less entirely liquidated due to the
actions
of those who originally, for certain murky purposes of their own, brought
it
into being in the first place.
But I'm calling on others to counteract these liquidation efforts too.

COMMENT by RM:
This is one of the papers (pur****tedly) i.a. sup****ting the PCP in Peru
but in
practice apparently, more or less totally today, parroting the phony
"RIM".
During one period around 1994, it made some criticisms of the "RIM"
leaders'
sup****t of the "peace letters" hoax in Peru, and then was in friendly
contact
with El Diario Internacional (see above). But this later stopped.

In English. Period between issues, and subscription rates, not available.
Published by the (so-called) Movimiento Popular Perú (MPP) in North
America.
COMMENT by RM:
This so-called "MPP" and its "New Flag" is nothing but a reactionary
fraud. The
website which pur****tedly somehow "represents" the PCP in Peru does not
really
do so. The "New Flag" editor "Luis Quispe" (W. Palomino) was completely
exposed
as an agent of US imperialism in the course of a big Internet struggle in
mid-1996.
On this, many postings of mine and - on certain points even clearer and
bringing im****tant information - of other Net writers too, can be referred
to.
"The New Flag" has pretended to be "critical of" the leaders of the phony
"RIM"
but is in reality very closely connected to them.
NOTE:
I have copies of periodicals of certain other organizations too which are,
or
from my vantage point appear clearly to be, parrots of the "RIM". Since
they
have no contact addresses, I'm not listing them together with the others.
Two
examples:
Germany: Aufstand!, organ of the Revolutionäre Kommunisten BRD;
Nepal: The Worker (in English), organ of the Communist Party of Nepal
(Unity
Centre).

Writes above all about Latin America. Biggest Spanish-language paper in

though heavily influenced both by US imperialist and Russian new tsarist
forces
- i.a. very nastily "green".
14. (SWEDEN - ETC, ETC:)
Proletären - etc, etc
NOTE, COMMENT by RM:
While looking up this very nasty pro-new-tsarist and generally
pro-imperialist
phony rag - which once upon a time I actually used to sell, back in
1973-74
when it was still camouflaging itself pretty well, pretending to be
pro-Mao
Zedong etc - I hit on a Net link page which has been put together by those
swindlers who're responsible for its publication now (leaders of Swedish
organization "KPML(r)") and which contains links to a very large number of
organizations (and thus their periodicals), all or most of them no doubt
of a
very suspect character indeed, in many different countries.
That link page also shows up some Marxism archives, including some very
good
ones.
This whole thing is quite new to me. It certainly merits a lot of
investigation, not least for you when pursuing your project, Stec - my
words of
warning you and others have already seen above. Here's that site's
address:
<http://geocities.com/~kpmlr/links.html>
[Added in 2008: That website I could not find now. The nasty swindler
organization in question in early 2005 changed its name to "Kommunistiska
Partiet". On how it came to be that in1974 - when it was still calling
itself
"KFML(r)", which it did up until 1978, then replacing the "F", for
"Förbundet",
"Association", with "P", for "Partiet" - I found out that it in fact was a
nasty swindle organization, there are some brief lines in my homepage
section
"On my background". The now once more renamed organization in Sweden has
website at http://www.kommunistiskapartiet.org/.]

NOTE, COMMENT by RM:
Editor, Alexander Moumbaris, originally of Greece, in earlier years
heavily
involved in anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, i.a. escaped from
prison
there.
The periodical is of "old-time" openly pro-Soviet revisionism type, with
contacts to many others of the same sort in various countries in above all
eastern and western Europe, and some non-European.
Though I consider its basic line to be very reactionary, I've also found
it to
be informative on certain counts.
[Added in 2008: Although, thus, there has been and is strong disagreement
on
some points between Alexander and me, there also has been, and is, strong
agreement between us on some other points. This for instance has concerned
sup****t of the DR Congo against that US-imperialism-instigated aggression
against that country which began in August 1998 and in practice still
continues. And I appreciate very much Alexander's translating into French
my
Infos #138en, "Terrorist war****p hit at Aden" (13.10.2000), and #238en,
"The
London terror bombs" (14.07.2005) - see Infos #138fr and #238fr.]
This concludes my list of periodicals (plus one Web link page).
Best regards, Stec, and as I already said, I shall keep you posted on
news.
