Subject: M-I: AWAY WITH ALL PESTS!



REPLY TO COMRADE KUO MO-JO

- to the tune of Man Chiang Hung

January 9, 1963

On this tiny globe
A few flies dash themselves against the wall,
Sometimes shrilling,
Sometimes moaning.

Ants on the locust tree assume a great-nation
      swagger
And mayflies lightly plot to topple the giant tree.

The west wind scatters leaves over Changan,
And the arrows are flying, twanging.

So many deeds cry out to be done,
And always urgently;
The world rolls on,
Time presses.

Ten thousand years are too long,
Seize the day, seize the hour!

The Four Seas are rising, clouds and waters
      raging,
The Five Continents are rocking, wind and
      thunder roaring.

Our force is irresistible,
Away with all pests!.


Chairman Mao Tse-tung


ON BOGUS "REVOLUTIONARY ANTS PLOTTING VAINLY TO TOPPLE A GIANT TREE

Today in Peru there is a curious phenomena.  Even the reactionary bourgeois
who a few months ago would have sang the praises of Fujimori and who even
today continue to advocate what we describe as "Fujimorism without Fujimori"
- the very same fascistic platform of vesanic repression against the
revolution, complete economic subservience regarding imperialism, and
defence to death of the old Peruvian semi-feudal and semi-colonial state of
the ruling classes - are enthusiastically shouting to the four winds and
proclaiming the most evident factor of the current Peruvian regime's
political and social life: that Fujimori is the most absolutely unbelievable
and born liar.

Now even they question everything about the tyrant and scorn its every
utterance.  Whatever Fujimori says, they regard as the very opposite of the
truth and would laugh derisively digging at Fujimori's own murky background,
questioning even his date and place of birth.

One can safely say that Fujimori has become the arbiter of truth in Peru in
a negative fashion, even among the most die hard reactionary circles.  A
veritable compass pointing always in the opposite direction from the true
facts about anything and everything.  Whatever he affirms, people, even the
most reactionary and backward, will readily believe the opposite. 

FLIES THAT SPLATTERED THEMSELVES AGAINST A STEEL WALL 

However, it was not always thus.  Even the "great Maoists" of the leading
Committee of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) were - and
possibly still are, firm believers in Fujimori's truthfulness.  They
believed him most when he alleged that Chairman Gonzalo had betrayed the
revolution and had made a call to surrender the People's War. 

The Co-Rim leaders put their trust in the fascist tyrant's word and in that
of the US imperialist CIA and its manipulated media.  Derisively accussed
those who pointed out the lying essence of any allegation of the regime
against Chairman Gonzalo, as "personalists" and "blind people" with a
penchant to see "police plots in every thing".  

They - the Co-Rim leaders - referred in those very terms to El Diario
Internacional and Committee Sol Peru London in particular, whom they savaged
like wild beasts in veiled (and flimsy at that)defence of "Fujimori's
truthfulness"!.

When the tyrant pulled out of his hat fake videos and letters and, moreover,
engineered bogus repentance ceremonies, presented this or that broken
prisoner as a "high ranking leader of PCP who had changed his mind in favour
of peace on being lectured in jail by Chairman Gonzalo himself", they too
mumbled like learned donkeys and bobbed their heads gravely in agreement.  

In funereal tones, they spoke sanctimoniously and hypocritically of their
"earnest desire" to see Chairman Gonzalo "eventually vindicated" of the
preposterous charges that the champion liar Fujimori was laying cynically at
his door, but nevertheless our "great Maoists" concluded that it was
"increasingly likely" that the lying tyrant was really telling the truth. 

In the mean time, they said in their silly professorial tone, the interest
of the movement demanded that we rather believe Fujimori to be telling the
truth and Chairman Gonzalo very likely a traitor. That simple garbage was
the sum total of their learned "maoism".  Alelluyah!

Thus, they spent four years between silently "studying" and then spreading
Fujimori's "peace agreement plot" and finally making every effort for
validating the tyrants allegations against Chairman Gonzalo's communist
morale.  In this fashion such "comrades" - from the mountain of their
revolutionary achievements - dared question Chairman Gonzalo's genuine
revolutionary credentials in every possible forum, and also by means of
Internet.

They heeded not the Central Committee of the PCP - althought they kept
beating their chests talking of "our Peruvian comrades" and "our flag flying
over Peru" - when the Central Committee - shortly after Fujimori unveiled
this his most elaborate hoax on October 1, 1993 before the United Nations
General Assembly - correctly characterising the allegations of Fujimori as
vicious lies and the so called "peace letters", "interviews" and other
elements of the "peace agreement plot" as a 100% police engineered fraud.
This was not sufficient for them.  They kept chattering and chattering and
moving "heaven and earth" to spread their baseless innuendos.  

Thus these gentlemen of Co-Rim carried on regardless - and for all we know
they are still at it - presenting bombastically to the world the sorry
spectacle of suppossedly grown up and revolutionary Marxists - Maoists no
less, and great Maoists at that - as the only utter twits left in the world
- apart from the most irreductible henchmen of the Peruvian tyranny - those
who at least know which side their toast gets buttered - still believing
anything this fascist tyrant Fujimori could say.

With this despicable performance, the gentlemen of Co-RIM have now secured
for themselves a place of honour in the freak show of the most cynical
betrayers and slanderers of the leadership of any revolution in history.
Their's has been the most impressive performance of clownish ants attempting
to topple the giant tree of Chairman Gonzalo's leadership, heroic figure,
and sterling reputation as a loyal communist and revolutionary.

Today, these gentlemen have deservedly become pariahs among progressive
people in the world. 

OTHER FLIES ARE STILL BUZZING AROUND HURLING THEMSELVES AGAINST THE STEEL
WALL OF CONTEMPT FOR OPPORTUNISM THAT GENUINE COMMUNISTS ERECT WITH THEIR
FLESH AND BONE.

Many of us have seen in the most amazed disgust how this black hand of
revisionist bogus "Maoism" - moved by the basest motives - acted on behalf
of US imperialism and the Fujimori regime, aiming its slimy and hypocritical
claws against the honour and communist morale of a great revolutionary, the
leader of the People's War and the Communist Party in Peru: Chairman Gonzalo.  
   
And this dark hand kept - during four long years - moving everyone of its
multiple fingers.  Each finger, played a different note in the Yankee piano,
but everyone could hear that these fingers were all playing from the same
reactionary hymn sheet, and the most "wagnerian" music at that!

We had then "Quispe" promoting and playing up in the black keys - like the
gross "thumb" he is - his version: partly police plot and partly Fujimori
telling the truth!

And a whole symphony orchestra of diverse Co-Rim "fingerlets" ("Sol Rojo",
"MPP- Europe", etc.) making the accompaniment to the funeral march they
wanted to play world wide against Gonzalo Thought and the People's War. 

Moreover, and in the background, the voices of Trostkysm, rotten
revisionism, (Poder Obrero, the Peruvian United Left, etc.) played the
bassons in lugubre tones.

All this to smear Chairman Gonzalo and validate the words of a born liar!

Finally, they too have come to this list sending someone to sweet talk a
good comrade who could not gauge directly where that piece of the puzzle
would fit.

And so the last of the flies, the flie who pretends not to be a flie but
only to be in favour of unity with the flies, hurled himself, sometimes
buzzing, sometimes droning, "sometimes shrilling, some times moaning"
against the steel wall of communist principle and contempt for opportunism.

To that new failure of the "ants wanting to topple the giant tree" we
dedicate an excerpt of the poem published in El Diario Internacional as a
reprint from the Lima edition of 1996 (which has been already published here
in full):

"They throw mud against steel
aiming at usurping your Thought
trying to silence your voice
they want to murder you.....

Nay! They will never be able
to muffle the flashing ring
of the sword of your soul"



Adolfo Olaechea
