33° Anniversary of the foundation of the Party of the proletariat and the socialism
The mission of the PMLI

By Giovanni Scuderi *
33 years have passed since, April 9th 1977, we have founded the PMLI. In the previous ten years we have prepared the conditions of it, on the push of the China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution promoted and led by Mao and of the Great Revolt of the Sixty-eight, the greatest event of the class struggle history of the postwar period in Italy.
If Mao hadn't opened us the eyes on the bourgeois, counter-revolutionary and anticommunist nature of the modern revisionism, and if we hadn't found in the practice of the Sixty-eight that with to the head a revisionist party, as the PCI was, it is impossible to escape from the capitalism, we never had the conscience, courage and initiative to found the Party of the proletariat and the socialism.
Total so far we have lived therefore forty-three years "earth belly", faithful to the general mission, that to make a clean sweep of the capitalism and to establish the socialism in Italy, that has assigned us the first Party Congress and confirmed by the other four following Congresses the last of which has been held since 6 to 8 December of 2008. The 3rd Congress in 1985 has traced the essential lines of the Italian Marxists-Leninists project design of socialism.
This general mission of the PMLI, that in all these 33 years it has not only been unchanged but it was strengthened more and more, it delineates and demarcates the revolutionary proletarian class identity of our beloved Party, it points out its raison d'être in the Italian arena, its functions and its essential strategic task.
No other Italian party have this marked class and Marxist-Leninist character, even those who still cover them, (but up to when?) behind the communist label. By now, according to the facts, only the PMLI is on the side of the proletariat, of the revolution and of the socialism, all the other parties or political movements they are or with the right or with the bourgeois "left", with the counter-revolution and the capitalism.
The PMLI plays all on the antiparliamentary, antigovernment, antifascist and anticapitalist class struggle, without any legalistic and constitutional conditioning. The parties of the bourgeois "left", instead, they wallow in the electoralism, parliamentarism, legalisticism, pacifism and constitutionalism. Their bourgeois nature prevents them from going out of the institutional and constitutional boundaries of the capitalism and to appeal to the masses to prevent the new Mussolini, Berlusconi, to cancel completely the bourgeois democracy. Exactly as the bourgeois "left" did when it didn't immediately stop with the mass struggle the rise to the power of the first Mussolini, underestimating him and believing he wouldn't have established an iron fascist dictatorship.
Yet the historical and actual facts speak for themselves. Berlusconi has restored the fascism under new forms, new methods and new banners, following point-by-point the "plan of democratic rebirth" and the "scheme R" of the P2. Yet the bourgeois "left" pretends not to notice, it has not the courage to report him, also because it has the finger in the pie, and now even stunned by the election drubbing, and shattered in so many currents, pushed by the president of the Republic Napolitano, in the guise of the new Vittorio Emanuele III, it is ready to sit at the same constitutional "reforms" table of Berlusconi. An unforgivable crime, similar to that committed in the years '20 by liberals, populars and reformists who came to terms with Mussolini.
The presidentialism, in one form or another, and the federalism they change the shape of the government and the State, completely dismantling the already tattered Constitution of the '48. And this change is an institutional coup, the death knell of the bourgeois democracy. In these circumstances, for us Marxists-Leninists not only one must not to sit at Berlusconi's table, but also to urgently call the masses to the street struggle in order to overthrow the neoduce Berlusconi's government. Otherwise it and its parliamentary majority, in these three years that remain them, also alone they will entirely upset the institutional and constitutional structure, they will continue and they will worsen the social massacre and the foreign interventionist policy.
Unfortunately it is easy to foresee effortless that the bourgeois "left" it will make a deaf ear to our renewed call, it will continue to make other concessions to Berlusconi and to deceive the proletariat, the masses and the youth with the speech fraudulent and misleading of the "defence of the Constitution" and creating new political groups apparently more advanced, more combative, not involved in old compromises.
Our hope is that the supporters of socialism, the women workers and the workers aware of the historical role that is up to the working class, the revolutionary girls and boys who already know our Party, break every delay, definitely and organizationally, not only on the electoral plan, they leave the parties of the bourgeois "left" and unites them to the PMLI as militants or active sympathizers, to allow it to accomplish its historical mission.
We shall not fulfill it certain in one day and alone. We will still have much to do to create a big, strong and rooted PMLI, that has the body not only the Red Giant head, to win the majority of the proletariat and its historical allies to socialism and in the meantime to struggle strenuously to defend the immediate interests of the masses, starting with the job, wages, pensions, housing, health and education public, the development of the Southern Italy, and not to give truce and peace to the government of the neoduce Berlusconi and to the capitalism.
As Marx and Engels have taught and trained us, we have nothing to lose except our chains and a whole world to gain. Let's learn from the first pioneers of the PMLI, from the founders of the Party still faithful to the cause, from the following generations who live, think and struggle with the sole aim to lead the proletariat step-by-step to the conquest of the political power and the socialism. Let's unite and let's give the scaling to the sky! We have to win Italy united, red and socialist! With the Masters and the PMLI we will win!
