Announcing the Leninist-International e-mail discussion
list.
The Leninist-International list has been set up, and
will be run, by the Communist Party Refoundation, a new
party established in Britain this year. Refoundation
openly states its views: capitalism is headed for
economic and ecological ruin, and is hell bent on taking
humanity down with it. The only solution is for the
workers and peasants of the world to overthrow the
existing order, establish their own rule, and to proceed
immediately to the revolutionary reorganisation of
society from bottom to top and from top to bottom. We
need a revolution, and a revolution is no tea party. It
will be armed, or it will be nothing at all. For that
reason, the only kind of party which will be able to
lead the masses to victory is a Leninist Party. Given
the internationalisation of capitalism, which is a world
system, the revolution will also have to be
international. Hence the need to recreate the
international of labour to fight the international of
capital.
The appropriate form for this is the Communist
International. The choice of the name
Leninist-International for the new list is therefor not
accidental. And it is not revolutionary phrasemongering.
This list is part of the practical work necessary to
rebuild the international communist movement. The party
the workers need will master the entirety of modern
science. It will be intellectually open, and rigorously
scientific.
Leninist-International will be open to ideas and debate,
polemics and serious contributions from whatever source.
But fools and time wasters will be shown the door. Our
party has set the list up, but we do not want a
restricted list. On the contrary, we invite other trends
to participate in the list, and to subject our theses to
systematic critique. We welcome criticism. We do not
fear error, only the repetition of uncorrected errors.
Leninist-International is closely tied to the electronic
edition of the Communist Party Refoundation's journal,
Insurrection. We want the website to be a source of
archived news of struggles around the world, important
theoretical and strategic documents from the
international revolutionary movement, marxist classics,
and links to those who are in the front line of the
class war against imperialism and capitalism. And the
website will be a store of materials on economics,
environmental issues, international political economy,
struggles in the neocolonies, women and patriarchy,
racism and fascism and more. We will even archive the
self-condemning reports and materials of the IMF, OECD,
World Bank, the CIA and other agencies of late
imperialism.
The site will also archive important contributions to
Leninist-International. The Internet was created by
imperialism in order to strengthen its defences. We will
use it to strengthen our offensive.
This new list is one more weapon in our common arsenal.
As our comrades from Turkey and Kurdistan say: We are
right! We will win!
