Statement from communist parties participating in the conference celebrating 80 years of struggle since the foundation of Communist Party of Norway We, the participants in the international conference celebrating the 80th anniversary of Communist Party of Norway (NKP), want to use this opportunity to stress the importance and the role of the communist parties in the struggle of the working class for their rights in our époque of increased attacks from the finance capital and the bourgeoisie at national and international level. The ongoing process of privatisation, worsening of working conditions, cutting down on welfare and social right for the majority of the peoples in the developed capitalist world - disguised as globalisation - together with the increased militarisation in the imperialist centres - not even disguised as defensive measures, but with openly aggressive imperialistic ambitions, are very strong signals of capitalism’s deep crisis. The imperialistic wars against Afghanistan, Iraq in recent time under the pretext of fighting terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, gave - especially the US imperialism - a foothold in these countries which is preserved with in fact occupation. The same is the situation in the former Yugoslavia, after the interference and policies of division from different western imperialistic sides. These regions are vital for the production and transportation of petroleum, this is the only reason for imperialistic governments like the Bush administration to launch these wars. We, the communists express that the ongoing occupation of Iraq is a violation of the right of the Iraqi peoples to install an Iraqi government. The Iraqi communists and their role in fighting both the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein and the US led war and occupation, gives communists a unique credibility and a special role in the struggle of the Iraqi peoples. We express our solidarity with the Iraqi peoples in the fight for liberating Iraq from USA’s occupation regime. As communist parties which participate in this conference, we demand that the imperialists have to leave Iraq immediately. Recalling the heroic fight and victory of the communists over Nazism and fascism together with other democratic and progressive forces in the Second World War, which was paid by our comrades' blood, it is now natural to point at the fascistic development in the USA which represent a threat and burden for mankind quite similarly. Now there are other countries who are openly being threatened and aggressively attacked by US- imperialism. It's new military doctrine, using pre-emptive strikes as a measure to overthrow governments and impose the rules of the US-based multinational companies, represents a grave violation of international law and the United Nations. We admire Cuba with its successful building of socialism under extremely difficult conditions. Their aggressive imperialist neighbour in the north, and the European Union now following after USA in attacking Cuba, could never stop the achievements of the Cuban Revolution, as well as extraordinary internationalist contribution with doctors, medicines and different kind of Cuban professionals to the peoples in the developing world. Cuba represents an example of what is possible and what can be done when peoples liberate themselves, overtake the means of production and start producing for themselves and not only for profit to the capitalists. Now when solidarity with the Cuban people and revolution are more important than ever, as Cuba are one of the countries most threatened by imperialism, we state that the Cuban example is more than merely an inspiration. It is a hope, a light in a dark world. All real progressive forces should recognise this and strengthen their solidarity and co-operation with Cuba. The ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestine, daily killings of civilians and repression of the Palestinian political forces, represents another grave obstacle for a peaceful development that the peoples are longing for in the Middle East, as everywhere. We, the communists, condemn the Zionist occupation of Palestine and underline the need for solidarity and support by everybody not accepting racism openly used as pretext for Israel’s killings and occupation. Northern countries have to withdraw from the imperialist war front by driving down their own armaments industry that nowadays supply the war machine of imperialism. The last fifteen years so called "globalisation process" has meant implementation of neo-liberal policies. The working class and under-privileged are paying for this development, as well as the environment. We the communist has always represented a global movement, highlighting the common interests of the working class and the oppressed masses of the world. Our strategy of making revolution, overthrow the capitalists exploiters, building socialism and start a development towards communism, is becoming more relevant than ever in this age when imperialism itself coordinates its effort against the working class at the international level through institutions like WTO, IMF, WB, NATO, EU, NAFTA, FTAA etc. We, communists consider that its through EU that imperialism impose so called globalisation process in Europe. The principals in which EU was built has been a model for NAFTA, MAI and later FTAA as well as WTO’s free trades principals. EU is one of the three centres of imperialism, together with USA and Japan. It’s the tool of European monopol-capital to create a world power, rivalling with the other imperialistic centres. It’s the tool of the dictatorship of monopol-capital over the European peoples and the European working class, beyond national level. We will therefore focus our struggle against EU on:
Our communist parties will strengthen our co-operation in every field as our goals are the same: liberation of the working class and building of socialism.
Many leftist- and social democratic parties have accepted capitalism, take part in governments launching imperialist wars, unite their positions with national capitalists as well as multinational companies. These parties cannot be seen as a tool for the working class, oppressed and all those who want to change the unjust world of today.
