CPI(M) Greets CP Israel
The
following is the message of greetings sent by the Central Committee of
the Communist
Party of
Dear Comrades,
ON behalf of the Communist Party of India (Marxist),
we greet the 26th Congress of the Communist Party of Israel (CPI) and
wish it
all success and through you greet all the members of the party. We are
extremely thankful to the CPI for inviting us to the party Congress.
But
unfortunately, we are unable to attend the Congress, as the 20th
Congress of
our party is due in the first week of April.
The 26th Congress of the CPI is taking place at an
extremely crucial period. For the past four years, the world is reeling
under
acute recession from the global economic crisis. The ruling classes
tried in
vain to come out of the crisis by bailing out the financial
institutions that
had caused the crisis in the first place, using tax payers money. What
had in
fact started as corporate insolvency had now turned into full blown
sovereign
insolvency, with countries like
Imperialism is trying to come out of this economic
crisis by using all the means – political, economic and military – at
its
disposal. The recent brazen military intervention in
The living conditions of the people across the world
took a severe beating due to the global economic crisis. Unemployment,
poverty,
income inequalities, hunger, industrial closures had increased. There
is a
severe attack on the hard won rights of the working class – retirement
ages
increased, pensions cut and wages frozen. The heartening feature in
this gloomy
scenario is that working class is coming out in huge numbers protesting
these
attacks. The recent struggles throughout Europe, the
The ruling classes across the world are trying to
quell the rising protests and the growing influence of communist
parties. The
increasing attacks on the protest demonstrations, communist parties and
the
brazen anti-communist propaganda unleashed, indicate the uneasiness of
the
ruling classes. They are also encouraging all sorts of divisive
tendencies
among the people to break the unity of the working class and toiling
people.
All fundamentalist movements are reactionary movements which use
religion as a
political weapon. These movements isolate the populations they work in,
damage
the struggle for democracy and equality, and hinder social progress.
The
communist parties should be conscious of these dangers and strive to
safeguard
the unity of the working class in particular and the people at large.
Dear Comrades,
Within a few days, the CPI (M) would be holding its 20th
Congress (from April 4-9) in Kerala. We too would be reviewing the
period since
our last Congress held in 2008 and formulating tactics for the
strengthening of
our party in the coming days. Apart from the political resolution, we
would
also be discussing a document on certain ideological issues in the
Congress,
which we feel would help in enriching our understanding of the
capitalist
system under imperialist globalisation and our way forward for an
exploitation-free socialist society. We will certainly keep you
informed about
our deliberations and hope to learn from your experiences that you
would be
discussing in this Congress.
Comrades,
We once again wish your Congress all success and take
this opportunity to reiterate our fraternal solidarity.
Long Live Marxism-Leninism
Long Live Fraternal Solidarity of Communist Parties
