A "green" warfare, I'm calling this. It's directed, by the ruling reactionary
cliques, against practically everybody on earth. In the last three decades, it
has caused much more material destruction, and has killed many more people,
than all the openly-violent imperialist aggressions combined - this including
that most murderous one of them all, the one instigated against the DR Congo
which has cost some 5 million people their lives.
And those parties, groups and persons that have called themselves "Leftist"
"Marxist" or "Marxist-Leninist" (or in some cases "Maoist"), what have they
done against this?
In practically all of the cases, nothing, nada, zilch, Or even worse, they
directly have supported this arch-reactionary and counter-revolutionary
warfare, in several countries actually supplying much of the storm-troopers for
it, in "manifestations" etc "complaining" that the ruling reactionaries are
"not destroying modern technology and modern industry fast enough", "are not
creating enough of mass unemployment" and "are not preventing development of
the poorer countries strongly enough".
Now it's a fact that practically all of of the earlier existing
Marxist-Leninist parties or groups, in the "richer" countries at least - and
most of them were quite weak or even doubtful, to begin with - have been
smashed completely by the imperialists.
So individual Leftists, who have had little chance of getting to know what was
really going on in this respect, cannot be blamed all that much for having been
fooled into taking part in such reactionary things.
And socialism in China was smashed also, in 1976-78, before the actual
communists there (apparently) got to know what was going on - Mao Zedong, for
instance, never did (re-)discover and expose publicly the main motive behind
that "green" warfare which had begun in some countries already in his time.
But in the long time since then, any party that really knew something of
Marxism must have seen it; any party that in any way whatsoever was on the side
of the proletariat and the oppressed peoples would have been obliged to counter
that massive "green" warfare in the most decided manner.
Only one - that I know of - did so, that small "NE" in Germany which I've
mentioned. [Added in this Info (#287en): See "KPD/ML (NEUE EINHEIT)" in my
"Subjects in postings section.] And it degenerated in the 1980s; very precisely
its no longer combating that "green" warfare consistently was the first
tell-tale sign of this. [Added in this Info (#287en): See Info #106en, part
3/7.]
What should those - unfortunately still very few, in the world - people who
know about the theory of Marx (etc) and also know about the reactionary nature
of the campaign against nuclear energy, and the other and parallel
anti-industrial campaigns do about this?
They absolutely should combat those campaigns, and should demand that any
organization which they're in and which is calling itself "a proletarian", "a
Marxist", one do this too.
