Intro note, 2008:Here's a html version of an Info, #076en, which I sent in text document form to newsgroups etc in three parts, part 1/3, part 2/3 and part 3/3, on 25.07.1998 in reply to a request by Michael Stec <stec@bigfoot.com>, Canada. Michael had asked me if I could contribute something to a project of his, of collecting the names, addresses and other data of communist/leftist or purportedly communist/leftist periodicals all over the world.One reason for my now providing this Info in a more easily readable (and also in part address-updated) form are some questions on such matters put to me rather recently in two postings to the mailing list MLL by Charles F. Moreira <cfm@pc.jaring.my>, Malaysia (formerly UK, he has told the other members of MLL). When replying to him soon, with a message which will also be sent to the Modern Marxism mailing list created by me in August 2007, at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modern_marxism/, I intend to refer, among other things, to this repeated Info. The situation concerning such periodicals and their respective publishers of course has changed quite a bit since July 1998, but I'm assessing it today anyway as being basically the same in that important respect, of whether there in Europe and North America (for instance) are some really Marxist-Leninist parties or other organizations, or not. As far as I can see, there still aren't any. That is, the "Big Black Hole" in this respect which I concluded there was in 1998 (see below) unfortunately still is there. Some new things very much need to be created. In this repeat Info, I in the main am making no comments on what has changed since 1998, only adding a few notes on some changes or disappearances of addresses etc which have occurred since then. |

| Hello
Michael Stec <stec@bigfoot.com>, - and I'm Cc-ing this to the unmoderated communist list, in the first place (to which others can subscr*be by sending the message "subscr*be communist" to <Majordomo@stargame.org>, using no subject line and the undistorted version of that word which I've distorted here), and posting it to some newsgroups, in the second, recommending people to check out your site at: <http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/7078commie.html>. [Added in 2008: Now is replaced with http://www.geocities.com/capitolhill/7078/, which has as programme lines at its top: "Stec's Commie Pinko Homepage - Workers of the World Unite!".] And on second thoughts, I'm making this a "UNITE! Info". My preliminary comments, already written, I call an: Intro Note [25.07.1998]:You reminded me of my promise to mail you the addresses of some leftist or purportedly leftist papers. Sorry for having put this off for so long! There always seemed to me to be one thing or another that needed priority, but perhaps I've been neglecting friendly co-operation too much in comparison to trying to deal enemy forces some extra punches.Before now at last putting down, further below, some addresses which I on my part do know, together with some comments in each case on the periodical (plus responsible organization) in question, I'm including some lines by way of a general comment too. Your project of making a collection, as broad as possible, of the addresses of all those papers you can find which are calling themselves "Communist", "Marxist" etc, etc, of course is a very good one and one that others indeed should support. Another thing is the fact that, at present, it seems very hard to find any periodical at all, in any country whatsoever, that really is Marxist, that really, consistently, does stand on the side of the overwhelming majority of all people. Newspapers - and organizations, parties - which may exist in some third-world countries, with no Internet contact, I don't know much about, of course. But apart from that, it must be recognized that a communist or Marxist-Leninist movement in the world, of which there could be said to exist not so few at least smaller elements in many countries some 20 or more years ago, when China (with its then still revolutionary, enormous Communist Party of 30+ million members) was still socialist, today is hardly present at all, or at the most in the form of very, very few scattered bits and pieces, isolated from each other. This is really something of a "Big Black Hole". I've been doing, and shall continue to do, whatever I as one individual can do to contribute towards remedying this. For such things, your project of making a list of those papers (etc) that say they're Marxist or leftist - however awfully phony they in various cases may turn out to be - absolutely is a valuable one. If people want to discuss and clarify internationally what's the correct line from the standpoint of the proletariat, a first requirement of course is their knowing who there might possibly be out there to discuss with, in the first place.

| So here you
go, Stec - for now, and any further ones of interest which I get to
know about in the future I of course shall notify you on too. (I've
seen which addresses you already have.) NOTE: I on my part am publishing, here in Malmoe, Sweden, mainly in Swedish but with a couple of issues in later years in English, a series of leaflets, INFORMATIONSBLAD (Information Sheet), starting in 1975. A list of them so far with titles in Swedish and in English appeared in my 2-part "UNITE! Info #72en/se" [Added in 2008: part 1/2 and part 2/2], of 12.07.1998. This leaflet series however is not a periodical. A list of my Internet postings so far, from late 1995 on, in the "UNITE! (etc) Info" series, appeared in part 6/6 of its #50en, on 22.08.1997. Updates are available on request. NB: This series is not defined by me as an "E-zine" but is precisely a series of postings, with part of their respective subject lines in the respective languages in common. Periodicals:01.

(Recopilación y edición: Luis Arce Borja) Primera edición, Alemania, julio 1994, 305 páginas. Price, each volume: $15.00 COMMENT by RM: A common denominator for that periodical, abbreviated "EDI", and myself is that we both support the people's war in Peru led by the PCP and since 1994 have been denouncing the stabbing in the back of that people's war, in connection with the "peace letters" hoax from 1993 on, by the leaders of the so-called "RIM" ("Revolutionary Internationalist Movement") and further since 1996 have been denouncing the "Quispe" gang of phony "critics" but real supporters of the "RIM" leaders - "Luis Quispe" (W. Palomino) is editor of the "New Flag", NYC, USA, organ of the fraudulent "MPP-USA" (see below). However, there also is a conflict between EDI and myself, in that that periodical so far still is failing to distance itself from the "RIM" as such, which as a "preparatory International", as I've pointed out, from its very beginning was a complete phony, and whose 1984 basic document, the so-called "RIM Declaration", which unfortunately the PCP in Peru is still endorsing, I from 1994 on have been proving is a reactionary document, which in today over 20 languages is continuing to publicly distort and vilify Mao Zedong's correct line, trying to lead the international proletariat right in front of the guns of its worst enemies, above all those of US imperialism. [Added in 2008: See my article "Why Does the RIM Help U.S. Imperialism Encircle the PCP?", published in paper form on 12.08.1994 and on the Internet on 01.01.1996, now at my homepage as Info #003en.] I at present don't know how that conflict will be resolved. The debate is latent. I'm hoping that unity will be possible. NEWS: After writing the above lines, I yesterday received the latest issue of EDI, No. 47, of July, 1998. It among other things for the first time contains an e-mail address to the periodical: "eldiario@hatmail.com", which I guess must be a misprint for <eldiario@hotmail.com> - this will soon be ascertained. Furthermore, an article in that issue attacking a certain recent phony campaign "¡Viva el MRI!" ("Long live RIM!"), which will take me some time to read properly, i.a. contains the interesting statement that one should not think that a real communist International could be built up by proceeding from the "RIM". This is new too, and to me looks like a step forward by EDI. This is one of the things I (in the beginning, as "just one lone voice") have been saying since close to four years now - via the Net, since early 1996. 02. BELGIUM:SolidaireBd M. Lemonnier 1711000 Bruxelles Belgium Tel: +32 - 2 - 513 66 26 Fax: +32 - 2 - 513 98 31 E-mail: <solidaire@ptb.be> Website: <http://www.ptb.be/Solidaire.htm> [Added in 2008: Now is replaced with http://www.solidaire.org/.] In French. Published weekly. Official organ of the Parti du Travail de Belgique (PTB) - Party of Labour, Belgium. Chief editor: Herwig Lerouge Editor responsible: Marie-Louise Eligius, Bd M. Lemonnier 171, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium
Stores where Solidaire is being sold:
COMMENT by RM: The PTB is a relatively big party, with some 25 contact addresses in Belgium. It's led by Ludo Martens (namesake but no relative of mine). The PTB claims to be a Marxist-Leninist party but is in reality quite doubtful as a such, not recognizing the vital importance of Mao Zedong Thought and for instance, though stating a certain criticism of the revisionism in the Soviet Union from the mid-1950s on, maintaining that that state was still "socialist" when it fell in 1991, and that today's China and Cuba are "socialist" too. As one not unimportant positive factor in the line of the PTB and its weekly I've regarded and am regarding their standpoint on and information about the Congo (ex-Zaire), the victorious liberation struggle there led by Laurent Kabila's AFDL, Oct 1996 - May 1997, and the present efforts of the Democratic Republic of Congo at reconstruction in the face of massive imperialist pressure against that country. Ludo Martens for instance knows well the struggle of the people in Congo since 30+ years back, has written several books about it and has been welcomed to the liberated country. Solidaire has been - as far as my sources are concerned - an unsurpassed source of information on the Congo and the internationally quite important liberation struggle there. With the PTB is also connected the only more important movement abroad of solidarity with the Congolese people that I've gotten word of. There also have been at least a few positive contacts between the PTB / Solidaire and El Diario Internacional. Decidedly a negative factor is and has been the - rather shamefaced - hosting by the PTB, since May 1995, of a certain purported "kind of preparatory International", the so-called "International Conference", whose very basis clearly is an attempt to whisk away the absolutely necessary sharp differentiation between Marxism and the so-called modern revisionism of the ex-Soviet-Union type, letting in then some already beaten forces which are extremely hostile to the proletariat, once more through a back door. While the "RIM" (see below) was always a muppet of, and a long-time "Operation Subversion" by, the CIA of US imperialism, the "International Conference" is a corresponding manoeuvre in which forces of Russian new tsarism have at least an important say (together with such quite directly of US imperialism and other international reaction). Both of these entities must be exposed, attacked and killed, or at least neutralized completely, by the Marxist-Leninists, for a real International eventually to be possible at all. (The same goes for that smaller "reserve entity" in the USA, the "MIM", which has some pretences at being a "preparatory International" too.) 03. FRANCE:PartisanBP nº 4893802 Epinay/Seine Cedex France In French. Published, 10 issues per year, by the group Voie Prolétarienne, as its official organ. [Added in 2008: Now has website at http://vp-partisan.org and e-mail address <vp.partisan@caramail.com>.]
For subscription, send cheque addressed to: Voie Prolétarienne BP º 48 93802 Epinay/Seine Cedex France Postal cheque account number: 23 743 83G Paris By the same organization is published a series of theoretical pamphlets: Cahiers. SUPPLEMENT to Partisan: Le Cri Ouvrier La carrosse d'or Maison des associacions 37 ave de la Résistance 93100 Montreuil France NOTE: The title means "Workers' Outcry". Writers to that supplement are recommended to leave its title out on the envelope; the rest of the address is sufficient. COMMENT by RM: Partisan says it's for the line of Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong. It's one of rather many periodicals which support (i.a.) the people's war led by the PCP in Peru (and had representatives at the Founding Conference of The International Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr Abimael Guzman (IEC) in Duisburg, Germany, in February, 1993 - which was when I got into contact with it in the first place). But, unlike some others, it has always stated this support of its to be a critical support - which IMO is a positive thing. The Voie Prolétarienne is not one of the participants of the "RIM" - likewise positive. But it i.a. is against nuclear energy (precisely in France too, which has a high proportion of such in its electricity production!), which is very primitively reactionary and puts the character of that organization highly in doubt. Also, there was considerable hesitation (and some debate in Partisan), back in 1996-97, about whether really to support the then insurrection led by the AFDL in the Congo. These are two factors which point to there being, after all, influence of US imperialism in that group. Further one must wonder why they (still) aren't on the Net ("unsuitable shyness" - resources must be there). 04.

NOTE 1: Statements signed "Verlag NEUE EINHEIT" have appeared on the Internet from April 1996 on, sometimes designated as "NEUE EINHEIT Extrablatt No. ...", sometimes, from 1997 on, as "NEUE EINHEIT Internet Statement #...", and posted from either one of the e-mail addresses:
[Added in 2008: Verlag Neue Einheit now has website at http://www.neue-einheit.com/.] NOTE 2: The (apparently) last issue so far of the magazine NEUE EINHEIT appeared in December, 1994 (entitled "Zusammenfassende Nummer 1991 bis 1994" - "Summary Issue 1991-1994"; the second-last in 1991: "Zusammenfassende Nummer 1990"). Before that, there were 1 or 2, or sometimes more, issues per year. In that (so far) last issue, there still appeared as publisher of that periodical: Zentralkomitee der Kommunistischen Partei Deutschlands / Marxisten-Leninisten (NEUE EINHEIT) - Central Committee of the KPD/ML (NEUE EINHEIT) (as was the official abbreviation of that party's name), and as Editor responsible: Klaus Sender; Editorial Board: Klaus Sender (Ed.-in-Chief), Uwe Müller, Walter Grobe, Klas Ber. Since then, the above party has been liquidated (apparently in 1995; on a "NEUE EINHEIT Extrablatt" in October, 1995, its name no longer appeared). It was publicly stated, in an Internet posting in August 1997, that "that organization was now going by the name of": "Gruppe NEUE EINHEIT" ("Group NEUE EINHEIT"). It's unknown to me whether that "Group" has officially taken over the role of the former party as publisher of that magazine or not. COMMENT by RM: On the truly historical treason, from approximately the mid/late 1980s on, by that formerly so excellent and, despite its always being quite small, extremely important Marxist-Leninist party, the KPD/ML (NEUE EINHEIT), with which I was in close contact from 1974 until April, 1990, see several Internet postings by me, above all: 'VEREINIGT EUCH! Info #49de: Kritik der NE, 1990' (11 parts, containing above all an Aug-Sept 1990 criticism by me, in corresponding to some 40 pages A4 in German [Added in 2008: See Teil 01/11 etc.]) and 'UNITE! Info #50en: My line & "weklu's" weak lies' (6 parts) [Added in 2008: See part 1/6 etc], both of 22.08.1997. [Added in 2008: Three main points of my 1990 criticism of that party were shown in English translation in my later Info #106en, "More rattler 'NE' writhings", of 30.07.1999, part 3/7.] That group of people, though absolutely not to be trusted, still retain considerable knowledge in various fields and thus I recommend people to read their stuff, while warning all to take very good care not to fall in any of their traps and to check very carefully on each and every statement of theirs concerning political and other matters. NOTE:The periodicals noted and commented on above are the ones I consider to be the politically relatively most important ones among those which I'm informing you, Stec, and others about in this posting. When I'm criss-crossing a bit between countries here and am not bringing all the periodicals from the same country together, this is also due to my having put those which I hold are of the greatest interest first.05.

COMMENT by RM: This is the main (more or less direct) publication of that miserable swindler entity the "RIM" (see below). It's only "inspired by", and not "the official organ of", the "RIM", it declares. But for instance, it's housed in the same building where, i.a., also the "RIM" has "its" only sort of "official address", that of the so-called "Information Bureau of the RIM". 8. UNITED KINGDOM:Emergency Bulletinof the International Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr Abimael Guzman (IEC)BCM-IEC 27 Old Gloucester Street London WC1N 3XX UK Tel/Fax: +44 - 171 - 482-0853 In English. Edition also in Spanish. Period between issues, and subscription rates: Not available. NOTE: Published from 1993 on, and in the beginning bi-monthly, later monthly, went to over 40 countries. I'm uncertain whether it in practice still exists today, and don't know when was its latest issue. (Note 26.07[1998], after first posting: It does still exist; "EB #60" appeared in February 1998; "#61" "promised" for "soon" on the "IEC" website under "CSRP", USA.) [Added in 2008: It's unknown to me for how long the Emergency Bulletins continued to be published. Apparently at least no such are being published today. On the Internet I recently found, at http://www.csrp.org/eb57.htm, Emergency Bulletin #57 (January 1996), with the note: "Emergency Bulletins from the International Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr. Abimael Guzmán. - IEC Emergency Bulletins offer the most current information on the developments of the campaign and activities from around the world. These are published by the international office in London. In the US, Canada, and Mexico, contact the IEC-US to receive them by postal mail -- a subscription is $1.50 per bulletin to cover the cost of postage and reproduction."] Abimael Guzman is identical with the chairman of the PCP in Peru, comrade Gonzalo, held in captivity by the reactionary regime in Peru since September, 1992. COMMENT by RM: As can be seen from its address, this Emergency Bulletin is a publication that, in practice, is very closely connected with "AWtW" and the "RIM". This however is not, and was from the very beginning not, officially so. The Emergency Bulletin is the organ of the IEC, which is organizationally quite independent of the "RIM" and all other organizations respectively entities, and was founded at a conference in Duisburg, Germany, in February, 1993. The IEC has its programmatic basis, as a united-front organization, in its Call for Defending the Life of Dr Abimael Guzman, and a set of statutes consisting of its by-laws, which were decided on at the above conference. I was in on that conference, as one of two official delegates from the (already provisionally founded) Emergency Committee in Sweden, and as such was in on the decisions on the IEC's programme and by-laws. I from that conference on am member (one out of two representing the IEC chapter in Sweden) of the highest deciding organ of the IEC, its Steering Committee (SC, originally consisting of 42 members), which at the founding conference also elected an executive organ responsible to it, the IEC's Co-Ordinating Committee (consisting of 3 officers of the IEC). In 1994, that IEC Co-Ordinating Committee (its government, so to speak) flagrantly contravened the IEC's by-laws, by failing to circulate to all the other SC members a certain proposal of 12.04.1994 by me, as one SC member (the contents of that proposal being that we, the IEC, internationally publish that important declaration by the CC of the PCP in Peru of 07.10.1993 which refuted the reactionary "peace letters" hoax but which the "RIM" was continuing to suppress). That Committee thus made itself illegal, which it remains today. This also means that the Emergency Bulletin "of the IEC", controlled by that Committee, today - if it still does exist - is a pirate publication, not really of the IEC. (On its still existing, see 26.07[1998] note above.) My public call from February, 1995, for the convocation of a plenary meeting of the Steering Committee (or parliament, so to speak) of the IEC, in order, among other things, to depose "our" now illegal "government", still stands. Another matter is the question of what practical importance this has today, when, apparently, the entire IEC, which once did mobilise considerable masses for a just cause, has been more or less entirely liquidated due to the actions of those who originally, for certain murky purposes of their own, brought it into being in the first place. But I'm calling on others to counteract these liquidation efforts too. 09.

Taranto is situated on the east coast of southern Italy and i.a. has a NATO naval base and a big steelworks with once 15,000 employees, many of whom however have later been laid off. COMMENT by RM: This is one of the papers (purportedly) i.a. supporting the PCP in Peru but in practice apparently, more or less totally today, parroting the phony "RIM". During one period around 1994, it made some criticisms of the "RIM" leaders' support of the "peace letters" hoax in Peru, and then was in friendly contact with El Diario Internacional (see above). But this later stopped. 10.

NY Transfer is maintaining this archive online for historical and political research purposes only. The site has not been updated since November, 1998 and we have lost contact with its originators.

Period between issues, and subscription rates, not available. Published by the (so-called) Movimiento Popular Perú (MPP) in North America. COMMENT by RM: This so-called "MPP" and its "New Flag" is nothing but a reactionary fraud. The website which purportedly somehow "represents" the PCP in Peru does not really do so. The "New Flag" editor "Luis Quispe" (W. Palomino) was completely exposed as an agent of US imperialism in the course of a big Internet struggle in mid-1996. On this, many postings of mine and - on certain points even clearer and bringing important information - of other Net writers too, can be referred to. "The New Flag" has pretended to be "critical of" the leaders of the phony "RIM" but is in reality very closely connected to them. NOTE:I have copies of periodicals of certain other organizations too which are, or from my vantage point appear clearly to be, parrots of the "RIM". Since they have no contact addresses, I'm not listing them together with the others. Two examples:Germany: Aufstand!, organ of the Revolutionäre Kommunisten BRD; Nepal: The Worker (in English), organ of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre). 11.

Biggest Spanish-language paper in Scandinavia, circulation some 50,000 copies. Informative in some respects, though heavily influenced both by US imperialist and Russian new tsarist forces - i.a. very nastily "green". 14. (SWEDEN - ETC, ETC:)Proletären - etc, etcNOTE, COMMENT by RM:While looking up this very nasty pro-new-tsarist and generally pro-imperialist phony rag - which once upon a time I actually used to sell, back in 1973-74 when it was still camouflaging itself pretty well, pretending to be pro-Mao Zedong etc - I hit on a Net link page which has been put together by those swindlers who're responsible for its publication now (leaders of Swedish organization "KPML(r)") and which contains links to a very large number of organizations (and thus their periodicals), all or most of them no doubt of a very suspect character indeed, in many different countries. That link page also shows up some Marxism archives, including some very good ones. This whole thing is quite new to me. It certainly merits a lot of investigation, not least for you when pursuing your project, Stec - my words of warning you and others have already seen above. Here's that site's address: <http://geocities.com/~kpmlr/links.html> [Added in 2008: That website I could not find now. The nasty swindler organization in question in early 2005 changed its name to "Kommunistiska Partiet". On how it came to be that in1974 - when it was still calling itself "KFML(r)", which it did up until 1978, then replacing the "F", for "Förbundet", "Association", with "P", for "Partiet" - I found out that it in fact was a nasty swindle organization, there are some brief lines in my homepage section "On my background". The now once more renamed organization in Sweden has website at http://www.kommunistiskapartiet.org/.] 15.

(FF: French Francs) Adress cheque to Editions Démocrite NOTE, COMMENT by RM: Editor, Alexander Moumbaris, originally of Greece, in earlier years heavily involved in anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, i.a. escaped from prison there. The periodical is of "old-time" openly pro-Soviet revisionism type, with contacts to many others of the same sort in various countries in above all eastern and western Europe, and some non-European. Though I consider its basic line to be very reactionary, I've also found it to be informative on certain counts. [Added in 2008: Although, thus, there has been and is strong disagreement on some points between Alexander and me, there also has been, and is, strong agreement between us on some other points. This for instance has concerned support of the DR Congo against that US-imperialism-instigated aggression against that country which began in August 1998 and in practice still continues. And I appreciate very much Alexander's translating into French my Infos #138en, "Terrorist warship hit at Aden" (13.10.2000), and #238en, "The London terror bombs" (14.07.2005) - see Infos #138fr and #238fr.] This concludes my list of periodicals (plus one Web link page). Best regards, Stec, and as I already said, I shall keep you posted on news. Rolf M. |
