Några tankar om mötet i Stockholm

Kamrater i ett kvinnofängelse i Peru som firar en
revolutionär högtidsdag. Bilden på väggen föreställer
Ordförande Gonzalo.
De som är intresserade av den revolutionära kampen i Peru har under många år firat den 24:e september med olika föredrag och aktiviteter. Den 24:e september 1992 är den dag då Ordförande Gonzalo höll ett tal som spelades in på film eftersom imperialisterna efter gripandet ville visa upp honom inför samlad media. Talet hölls 12 dagar efter gripandet och finns i sin helhet på film och i nedtecknad form (se föregående blogginlägg). 

I och med att gripandet fick allvarliga konsekvenser och att imperialisterna senare lyckades att övertyga många att Ordförande Gonzalo ville lägga ner kampen blev talet särskilt viktigt att föra ut. Det är i detta tal som han för sista gången, fram tills idag, fått tala fritt och han uppmanade så klart alla kamrater att fortsätta genomföra centralkommitténs beslut, dvs att fortsätta folkkriget.

På årets firande hade vi glädjen att få lyssna till ett föredrag från en kamrat från föreningen Ny Demokrati i Tyskland. Kamraterna i Tyskland har i allmänhet långt större kunskaper än oss om vad som händer i Peru och de gör ett viktigt arbete i att hålla möten runt om i Europa och att analysera utvecklingen i Peru och utomlands. Föredraget behandlade kort Ordförande Gonzalos betydelse och hans bidrag till marxismens utveckling och frågan om hans gripande och 20 år av isolering.

the life of Chairman Gonzalo

Tyvärr verkar det som om hans tal i sin helhet inte längre finns lättillgängligt på nätet. Det som däremot finns är en kortfilm där Perus f.d. diktator Fujimori pratar och där ett par kortare klipp upp ur talet visas. I filmen säger en känd "senderolog" (en person som utger sig för att vara expert på PKP) att det är "hederligt polisarbete" som ligger bakom att de lyckades gripa honom. Anledningen till de lyfter fram frågan om "hederligt polisarbete" är att Fujimori numera allmänt smutskastas och de vill inte ge honom "äran" för gripandet. Det har kommit fram att det knappast var några vanliga poliser som lyckades spåra upp honom utan att det var diktatorn Fujimoris patruller som genomförde en operation under CIA:s ledning.

I ett klipp i filmen säger Ordförande Gonzalo ungefär att man kan döda mannen men inte hans idéer. Det är också vad denna blogg handlar om. Trots att har hållit honom i isolering under fruktansvärda förhållanden i över 20 år så kan de inte stoppa spridningen av hans idéer.

Självklart avslutar vi med slagord just på det sätt som retar den svenska mys-pys-"vänstern" särskilt mycket. Att vara "peru-maoist" eller "terrorist" i ögonen på storbourgeoisien och dess medbrottslingar är självklart inget negativt.

LEVE ORDFÖRANDE GONZALO!
NER MED REVISIONISMEN!

Talet som hölls den 24:e september 1992. 12 dagar efter gripandet.


CHAIRMAN GONZALO'S SPEECH SHINES VICTORIOUSLY AND POWERFULLY BEFORE THE WORLD!


Central Committee 
Communist Party of Peru
1992

Comrades of the Communist Party of Peru!
Combatants of the People's Guerrilla Army!
Peruvian People! :

We are living historic moments, each of us knows that this is the case, let us not fool ourselves. In these moments we must strengthen all forces to confront difficulties and continue carrying out our tasks. And we must conquer the goals! The successes! The victory! That is what is to be done.
We are here as children of the people and we are fighting in these trenches, they are also trenches of combat, and we do it because we are Communists! Because here we are defending the interests of the people, the principles of the Party, and the People's War. That is what we do, we are doing it and will continue to do so!
We are here in these circumstances. Some think this is a great defeat. They are dreaming! We tell them to keep on dreaming. It is simply a bend, nothing more, a bend in the road! The road is long and we shall arrive. We shall triumph! You shall see it! You shall see it!

We should continue the tasks established by the III Plenum of the Central Committee. A glorious Plenum! You should know that these accords are already being implemented and that will continue. We shall continue applying the IV Plan of Strategic Development of the People's War to Conquer Power, we shall continue developing the VI Military Plan to Build the Conquest of Power, that will continue; that is a task! We shall carry it out because of what we are and because of the obligation we have with the proletariat and the people!

We clearly say that today the democratic road has begun to develop as a road of liberation, as a road of people's liberation! That is the circumstance in which we are unfolding. We should think with a great sense of history, we must stop closing our eyes. Let us look at reality, let us look at the history of Peru. Let us look at the last three centuries of Peru. We should think about it. Look at the 18th century, look at the 19th century, look at the 20th century and understand them! Those who don't understand them are going to be blind and the blind don't serve the country, they don't serve Peru!

We believe that the 18th century was a very clear lesson. Think about this. There was a dominator. It was Spain and where did that bloodsucking domination bring us? To a very profound crisis, as a consequence of which Peru was divided. From there come the origins of today's Bolivia. It is not our invention but facts.
Fine, the last century, English domination. Where did their rivalry with France take us? To another big crisis: 70 of the past century. The result? War with Chile. We must not forget it! And what happened? We lost territory. Our nation suffered a schism despite the blood shed by heroes and the people. We must learn from this!

The 20th century. How are we doing? In the 20th century we are dominated by imperialism, principally North American, this is real, everyone knows it. And where has it brought us? It is reminiscent of the 1920's, here and now, in the worst crisis of the entire history of the Peruvian people. Learning the lesson of past centuries, what can we think? Once more the nation is at risk, once more the republic is at risk, once more our territory is at risk. It can easily be lost, and by interests. This is the situation; this is where they have brought us. But we have a fact, a Peruvian revolution, a People's War, and it is advancing, and will continue to do so. Where have we gotten with this? To a Strategic Equilibrium. And we must understand this well. It is a Strategic Equilibrium! It solidifies itself in an essential situation. What have 12 years served for? To plainly show before the world and principally before the Peruvian people, that the Peruvian state, the old Peruvian state, is a paper tiger that is rotten to the core. That has been proven!

Things being that way, let us think of the danger that the nation, that the country, can be divided, that the nation is at risk. They want to dismember it; they want to divide it. Who wants to do this? As always, imperialism, those who exploit, those who rule. And what should we do? What is our task now? It is appropriate that we push forward the People's Liberation Movement and that we develop it through the People's war because the people, always the people, have been the ones who defend the country, who have defended the nation.

It is time to form a People's Liberation Front, it is time to form and develop from the People's Guerrilla Army a People's Liberation Army. That is what we must do and we shall do it! That is what we are doing and that is what we shall do! You gentlemen shall be witnesses.
Finally now, listen to this. As we see in the world, Maoism is marching unstoppably to lead the new wave of world proletarian revolution. Listen well and understand! Those who have ears, use them. Those who have understanding - and we all have it - use it! Enough of this nonsense. Enough of these obscurities! Let us understand that! What is unfolding in the world? What do we need? We need Maoism to be incarnated, and it is being incarnated, and by generating Communist Parties to drive and lead this new great wave of the world proletarian revolution that is coming.

Everything they told us, the empty and silly chatter of the famous "new age of peace." Where is it now? What about Yugoslavia? What about other places? That is a lie; everything became politicized. Today there is one reality; the same contenders of the First and Second World War are preparing a new Third World War. We should know this and we, as the children of an oppressed nation, are part of the booty. We cannot consent to this! Enough imperialist exploitation! We must finish with them! We are of the third world and the third world is the base of the world proletarian revolution, with one condition, that the Communist Parties brandish and lead! That is what we must do!

We believe the following. Next year will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Chairman Mao. We must celebrate these 100 years! We are organizing it with the Communist Parties. We want a new manner, a celebration which will be the conscious comprehension of the importance of Chairman Mao in the world revolution and we shall begin the celebration this year and we shall finish it the next. It will be a grand process of celebration. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to salute the international proletariat, the oppressed nations of the world and the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.

LONG LIVE THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF PERU!
THE PEOPLE'S WAR WILL INEVITABLY PREVAIL!
WE SALUTE FROM HERE THE FUTURE BIRTH OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PERU!
We say: GLORY TO MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM!
And finally we say:
HONOR AND GLORY TO THE PERUVIAN PEOPLE!
