Press statement
American imperialism has attacked against a sovereign country Iraq in Hitler an style flouting United Nation Organization, international norms and values established after the second world war and the mandate of the masses of the world. It is clear that this fascist attack has occurred under the strategic conspiracy of maintaining unilateral loot and hegemony in the name of uni-polar world and capturing Iraqi oil field, or competing the raising impact of "Euro" against "dollar". But, this strategy of the imperialist of trampling the conscious willing of the masses with the help of modern weapons and army will never be fulfilled.
Harping with so called collapse of communism and emergence of the era of peace, the fact that vicious wars were under preparation by these imperialist chieftains, had never been hidden from the eyes of the conscious masses of the world. Today, the series of events have again justified Marxist-Leninist-Maoist scientific conclusion that imperialism means war and peace and liberation is impossible for the human being until its complete destruction.
Our party, strongly denouncing this fascist attack over sovereign right of the Iraqi people resolutely supports the worldwide people’s initiative which is advancing against imperialism. As proved by the history and science, or according to the principal of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, only through the process of worldwide people’s war it will be possible to trample down the imperialism to the dust and build up a real world of peace and liberation for the human being. It is sure that a new people’s war of 21st century will develop against this new crime and inanity of world imperialism, and will get victory.
Today, the communist revolutionaries in the world including Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, RIM, have been making important ideological and logistical preparation to develop worldwide people’s war against imperialism. The great people’s war advancing in the leadership of our party is objectively: the glorious part that world campaign. having realized the fact that the "imperialism lifts rock to drop on its own feet" it is today’s necessity to advance against this fascist war. The new objective situation has furthermore been getting matured to create a new world by developing the worldwide anti imperialist people’s initiative to people’s war. Hence: our party humbly appeals to the broad masses of the people inside and outside of the country to protest this imperialist war through people’s movement and people’s war.
