Dear Comrades,

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) greets the 30th National Convention of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) and wishes it all success. Through the delegates attending the Convention, we greet all the members of the CPUSA.

Comrades,

The attacks on the working class, peasantry and all the other toiling sections of the society have intensified in the recent period. The prolonged global economic crisis had further increased the burdens on the working people all over the world. The entire world is engulfed by the crisis that had its genesis more than six years ago and is not yet showing any signs of abatement. For us Marxist-Leninists, this is not something new, as Marx had taught us long back that capitalism is a social system laden with crises – intrinsic and inherent in the manner it organises production. The present crisis, once again proves the validity of Marxism-Leninism.

Of course, as communists, we are not overwhelmed on being vindicated, rather the crisis once again reminds us of the necessity to hasten our work among the masses, strengthen the ‘subjective factor’, the Party of the working class, as Lenin used to call it and intensify our struggles against the present exploitative capitalist system. Once again, as Lenin had taught us, no amount of crises can ensure the fall of the system on its own, it ‘needs to be overthrown’. The historical responsibility of overthrowing capitalism is thus upon us.

Comrades,

People are coming out onto the streets against the burdens imposed upon them and in defence of their rights. We are watching with particular interest the various working class struggles taking place in the USA – workers struggle in defence of their right to strike and organise in Wisconsin, the struggle for an increase in the minimum wages and a hike in the minimum wage in Seattle to $15, etc – are of great significance. We are also watching with interest the political developments in your country, the fountainhead of imperialism, specifically the growth of the Tea Party and the right-wing forces. We had witnessed the growth of fascism and Nazism during the 1930’s, an off-shoot of the Great Depression. Today, we are once again witnessing a spurt in the activities of the right-wing, fundamentalist, neo-Nazi forces in many countries.
