[12] Photo Special: Struggles in 2005 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Build a revolutionary bridgehead to overturn the century of darkness! (From its lead) At the beginning of 2006, 50 years after the Hungarian revolution, we must be resolute to win a great leap of our anti-Stalinist communist movement in Japan. Now the Bush dynastic government in the militarist empire of America as the world's sole superpower is tumbling about in 'the two quagmires', i.e. the mired war in Iraq and the social and economic mires left by the hurricane -- after it plunged the whole world into the fires and darkness of warfare. G. W. Bush, a Hitler in the 21st century, is on the verge of a precipice. His administration is therefore desperately beginning the so-called global transformation of its military forces and a strategic realignment with its allies in order to carry out aggressions named 'war on terror' and to prevent China from growing to be its 'rival'. Pledging his allegiance to this administration, and fully accepting its requests, 'little Hitler' Koizumi has started a full career to form a renewed military alliance between the US and Japanese states. Based on the establishment of an autocratic rule under the prime minister, he is also rushing for revising the Constitution of Japan in accordance with the military transformation of US imperialist forces, that is, for producing a 'Bush-imposed Constitution'. Against these attempts by the US and Japanese imperialist powers, counteroffensives are being launched in Asia by China, which is bent on forming an international front to encircle US imperialism, and its virtual allies, South Korea and Russia. Between the two sides, political, military and economic conflicts are intensifying. Therefore, a crisis of warfare is aggravating with the Taiwan issue as an ignition point. Amid this tense situation, we must struggle to advance our revolutionary antiwar struggle and expand it internationally aiming to overturn the 21st-century world covered with darkness and war fires. 50 years ago, the founder of our movement, Kan'ichi Kuroda, assimilated the bloody outcry from the Hungarian working masses, who were trampled down under tanks sent by the Kremlin bureaucracy, as 'a break point in the 20th-century communist movement'; he, and nobody else in the world, started his struggle to thoroughly reveal that Stalinism, though it claims to be orthodox Marxism, is falsified Marxism. Here was the rise of our world's foremost anti-Stalinist movement. Our revolutionary leftwing, since then, has been confronting with the historic crimes of Stalinists and, through these confrontations, strengthening our ranks. There is no thought other than Revolutionary Marxism that can win a radical overturn of the 21st century of darkness; and the only forces that can realize this overturn are those of the revolutionary leftwing armed with Revolutionary Marxism. Encouraged with this awareness, assurance and joy, we must struggle in unity to win another great advance in our revolutionary movement. This must be our resolve for the New Year. ------------------------------- JCP leaders desperate to gloss over their failed political line of revised capitalism (From its lead) At the very moment when the Koizumi government is rushing towards a historic reactionary revision of the Constitution after he declared, together with the Bush administration as his master, a renewed military alliance with US imperialism, there is a shameless scum who stated 'preventing some terrorism-praising forces led by the JRCL from disrupting the campaign to protect the Constitution' is 'the party's independent and positive mission'. The scum that gives such a hysteric scream to the draft agenda for the party's 24th Congress is the JCP leadership led by Fuwa Tetsuzo and Shii Kadzuo. This is none other than the last scream of them verging on the death. We have thus far carried out our ideological struggles to expose the criminal nature, and its fallacious strategic grounds, of the JCP line for mass movement 'to protect the Constitution' without opposition to the US-Japan military alliance. This scream is the very proof that our ideological struggle has truly struck this converted Stalinist bureaucracy to the heart. We have also correctly revealed that the political nature of their foreign policies, praised as 'alternative diplomacy' by Chairman Fuwa, lies in the party's conversion into the tools of the Chinese government. Encouraged by these struggles of ours, rank-and-file members of the JCP are starting to revolt against the central leadership. Due to its successive defeats in the national elections also, the organizational energy of the party is remarkably declining. Fearing this aggravating crisis of the party, the central JCP leadership is desperate to drive the membership to be devoted to a 'great campaign for strengthening the party's forces'. ... Now is the time to carry out resolute ideological and organizational struggles for a revolutionary disorganization of the JCP in and outsides its organizations, and that everywhere. Let us strengthen our struggle to organize defiant JCP members into the battlefronts of our anti-Stalinist communist movement! TOP |
