Research On The Maoism Of South Asia

It isn’t accidental for the arising of Maoist movement in South Asia. It’s the product of the development of economy and politics as well as the basic contradiction in a given society of the countries in South Asia. The victory of Chinese revolution and the historical achievement of the New China’s construction greatly inspired the people all over the South Asia struggling for national liberation and for socialism. And it also inspired the arising of Maoist groups in some Communist Parties of South Asia which claimed to keep Mao Tse-tung Thoughts as guiding thought and to follow the Chinese way of revolution. The mass debate and split of the international communist movement in1960s intensified the disputes about the different way of revolutionary development amongst Communist Parties in different countries. In the end it caused the split-off of Maoist group from the Communist Parties in countries of South Asia. They established independent organizations of Communist Party (Maoist), and carried out "Protracted People’s War" aimed at seizing the state political power by forces.During the process of the revolutionary development over more than half a century, the Maoist movement in South Asia experienced four stages of development, high tide, low tide, renaissance and integration. It has become a significant political power influencing the social development of South Asia. The current Maoist movement in South Asia has intact and systemic revolutionary theory as its guide. It put forward to the specific revolutionary program and political struggle target, and formulated effective revolutionary strategic route and policy, and established tight-knit political parties and various mass organizations, and had revolutionary base areas and revolutionary armed forces led directly by the Communist Parties.In essence, the so-called Maoism or Maoist in South Asia is the interpretation in foreign land and local construction of the revolutionary theory. The Maoist in South Asia believes that Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is a united and indivisible entirety, among which Marxism-Leninism is the base, and Maoism is the new development of Marxism and the higher third phase of Marxism development. The Maoist in South Asia stresses that Maoism explains the theory and strategy for undeveloped semi-colony and semi-feudalism countries to realize socialism. Therefore, for those countries, the nature of which are still semi-colony and semi-feudalism, to stick to Maoism is to stick to Marxism-Leninism. The Maoist in South Asia divides the socialism revolution in its own countries into two phases, the phase of new democratic revolution and the phase of socialism revolution. The maximum revolutionary program of Maoist in South Asia is to realize socialism and then eventually transit to communism. The revolutionary program at the present stage is to carry out and accomplish the new democratic revolution of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism and anti-bureaucratic comprador capitalism, in which way it can clear away the obstacle and carve out the way for socialism. In the respect of the revolutionary strategy to take power, Maoist in South Asia regions carries out the "Protracted People’s War" based on the armed agrarian revolution and takes the road of using the rural areas to encircle the cities and eventually seize the national political power. Maoist in South Asia does not refuse the negotiation with the government under the advantage conditions and does not refuse to peacefully and democratically seize the national political power through parliamentary election. After seizing the national political power, the task of the Party is to strive for realizing the political, economic, and cultural programs of the new democracy society and preparing conditions for socialism revolution and construction. Thus it can be seen that the Maoist in South Asia originated from one of the thoughts and schools of scientific socialism. The Maoist movement in South Asia is the socialism movement that is springing up. The Maoist Parties in South Asia are Marxism working class Parties.In the21st century, especially since the September11attack, the Maoist movement in South Asia has even developed in some way. Ten years after the end of "People’s War", the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) took the state power through parliamentary election. Communist Party of India (Maoist) is also carrying out hard armed struggles and non-armed struggles. Communist Party of Bhutan (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) claims to make preparations for launching "people’s war". Communist Patty Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Bangladesh takes steps to the organizational construction of the Party.On the other hand, the Maoist movement in South Asia confronts with severe challenges. Firstly, all the governments in South Asia have strengthened their organized suppress against all the Maoist in South Asia, which are going under the support of international monopoly capital headed by America, and which are in the name of anti-terrorism. Thus the Maoist movement throughout the South Asia suffered a very hard position. Secondly, the new difficulty in development of the Maoist in South Asia sharpened the existing varieties of contradictions; especially the divergence in the party’s theory and strategy might cause the possible danger for further organizational division. Finally, in order to effectively deal with the new challenges, the Maoist Parties in South Asia regions needed to again adjust and improve their theory and policy. The extreme theory and policy should be avoided, and great efforts should be made to go out for the middle masses in order to get rid of the confronting survival crisis and strive for further development.The future development of the Maoist in South Asia depends on whether the economic and political development in South Asia will provide favorable living space as well as whether the theory and policy of Maoist Parties in South Asia are correct or not and whether the theory and policy can be supported by the masses and the people.
