Re: M-I: Peruvian Maoism

[Mark Jones <Jones_M@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In his series of postings on indigenism generally, Louis Proyect
has rendered Marxism a service and there are many in his debt, who
do not yet know his name.

He has succeeded in connecting in intelligible,
politically-meaningful ways some of the complex of issues which
define the era: the dynamics of core-periphery relations in the
phase of so-called 'globalism'. The dynamics of plunder by the
imperial metropoles of the margins, and the consequent impact on
ecosystems and biodiversity; the process of international class
struggle in what is opening out into an era of People's War, and
the tasks of the working class and its allies in that era: to form
new kinds of strategic alliance and to develop shared
understandings and analyses of the workings of late imperialism
and of the tasks involved in its revolutionary overthrow.

I am hopeful that this posting will launch real debate about the
politics and strategies of the Peruvian Communisty Party, and the
lessons to be learnt.
