Brothers,

The alliances against us which we are supposed to be avoiding are
already there. We cannot avoid what is accomplished fact. So let's
get back to reality.

There are two things that we must understand: (1) that according to
the Shastras, the Himsa that is done in accordance with Dharma must
be regarded as Ahimsa. Righteous War (Dharma Yuddha) against
Adharma is enshrined in our Hindu Shastras and does not qualify as Himsa;
and (2) that it is imperative to understand the nature of the
Maoist enemy.

The Maoists are saying that the Capitalists are a confused lot. But
the truth of the matter is that the Maoists themselves are an even
more confused lot than the Capitalists. In fact, they don't even
know what they are talking about.

Mao said: "If you have not investigated a certain problem, you will
lose your right to speak on it." If this is the case, let us
investigate this myth called Communism.

Communism says it wants to create a society where all people are
equal. All right, so let's take a look at Russia and China. Are all
Russians and Chinese equal? No. Some are billionaires and others
have nothing to eat, just as in Capitalism.

Communism says it wants to create a society without money, where
people get what they need and nobody lacks anything. Is there such a
society in Russia and China? No. Money in Russia and China is as
important as in the Capitalist world.

Communism says that land is taken away from rich landowners and
given to the landless peasants. Mao himself promised this to the
masses. This is why the peasants supported his revolution in the
first place. But this is a typical Communist lie. The truth is that
Communism aims at abolishing all private property. Mao did indeed
imprison and execute millions of landowners and gave the land to the
poor. This made him popular with the masses. But as soon as he came
to power, he started implementing the true Communist policies.

First, he got groups of five or six families to join their farms
into a co-operative where land was worked collectively and the
income was shared. Second, he got a whole village to join a larger
co-operative. Third, he got several villages to join an even larger
co-operative. From there to State-owned land it was not far.

Before the peasants even understood what was happening, their land
was regarded as belonging not to each family as promised by Mao but
as property of the co-operative! The State-controlled co-operative,
of course, would keep most of the income for itself and invest it in
properties for the leadership and in industrialisation projects
outside the countryside. Instead of the peasants' hard-earned money
being put back into the villages, it invariably ended up elsewhere,
just as in pre-revolutionary times.

So, once again, farmers were reduced to poverty, this time not by
Feudalists, not by Capitalists but by Maoists themselves. Their
children were forced to go and work for peanut-wages in factories in
the town. By 1962, 30 million people died of starvation! It was only
in 1979 that the Maoist leadership began to dismantle co-operatives
and give some of the land back to the peasants.

Communism says that the more a society advances on the path of
Communism, the less power the State holds, the aim being to abolish
the State completely. Is there such a society in Russia or China or
any other Communist country? No. On the contrary, the more Communist
a country becomes, the more powerful the State becomes. In the end,
the State holds all the power and the people hold no power at all.
The State in Communist countries holds even more power than in
Capitalist ones. So it is all fantasy. It is all lies.

The fact is that Russia and China are giving up Communism, indeed,
they have given it up already because Communism, in practice, does
not work out and never will. Communism is not a progression from
Capitalism. It is just a scam. It is a delusional experiment by mad
intellectuals at the cost of the people.

All the countries that have tried out Communism are now reverting
back to Capitalism. Why? Because Capitalism may be cruel, unfair and
unjust, but at least it works better than Communism. Capitalism is a
failure in the sense that it has failed to provide justice and
equality for all people. But Communism is an even bigger failure.

The truth is that ordinary Maoists are very confused people. They
think that their lives are better under Communism. But they have
never lived in a Communist country, so how can they know? They don't
understand that their leaders promise them all kinds of things now.
But when the leaders come to power, then everything will change.

The  people will demand what was promised to them and the leaders will
not be able to deliver. Then the deportations and the mass murders
and the genocides will begin. The Maoist leaders will become the
new oppressors because they will not let go of power. So they will
ruthlessly put the people down.

Like in Russia and China, the Communist leaders will take all the
power and the people will have no power at all. They will have no
money, they will have no land, they will have no work, they will
have no food. Like in Russia and China, people will have to stand in
line all day waiting to buy bread or rice if they are lucky.

People will be completely powerless. They will have no guns to
defend themselves against the oppressive leaders. Their guns will be
taken away from them as soon as the leaders have come to power. The
leaders do not want any competition or challenge to their authority.

So they will demand complete submission to their rule.

This is very important to understand. When a Maoist has a gun, he
feels that he is somebody. He feels that he has power over other
people. This is a new experience for him. He gets high on power. He
goes around shooting landlords and officials and raping their wives,
daughters and sisters. This makes him feel important. He thinks
Maoism is the real thing, the real life for a man.

The Maoist thinks that when the revolution is over, he will keep his
Kalashnikov or his Enfield and retire on his State-provided farm.
That is what every Maoist dreams of. But he is only deluding
himself. In reality he is only a "useful idiot" (as the Communist
saying goes) in the power games of the Maoist leadership.

When the revolution is over and the "Feudalists" and "Capitalists"
have been liquidated, and his gun has been taken away from him,
then  the Maoist revolutionary is powerless. He is like a dog people
throw stones and sticks at and there is absolutely nothing he can do
about it. This is the true story of the Maoist. He is born like a dog, he
will have power for a few days or a few years and then he will live
and die like a dog again. When Mao's wife was arrested and put on
trial by the Communist Party, she said: "I was Mao's dog. I bit
whoever he asked me to bite". This is the truth.

Mao was a great revolutionary. He was a great fighter. He was a
great guerrilla leader. We must respect him for that. We can learn
a lot from him in this regard. But at the same time we must clearly
understand that he was a lousy economist. He didn't know what an
economy needs in order to work. He didn't understand what a country
needs to prosper.

In fact, apart from history, politics and revolutionary warfare,
Mao  didn't know much at all. And after the Revolution, he knew even
less. In the end, he was completely cut off from the people and
from the country. He was living in a big house with plenty of food and
everything he wanted. He married three or four times. Young village
girls were brought to him every day to keep him young. He lived
like a God on Earth. He had no idea what life was like for the people.
When he visited a village, the streets were repaired, the houses
were redecorated, people had new clothes and there was food
everywhere. After his visit, poverty and misery came back to the
same village.

Chin Peng, a Communist guerrilla leader in the 1940s, fought for
over twenty years to establish Communism in Malaya. He first fought
against the Japanese. When the Japanese were defeated, he fought
against the British. When the British were defeated, he didn't know
what to do. He said: "I have great experience of struggle, but not
how to build Socialism". He went back to the jungle.

The same applies to Mao, to Lenin, to Castro and to all Communist
revolutionaries. They are great fighters and great military
leaders.

But when the fighting is over, they all fail. Why? Because
Communism was invented by Karl Marx, a German/Dutch Jew, who was a
philosopher and a fantasist. He never had any experience of
Communism. He made it all up in his own mind.

Yes, there was poverty. Yes, there was suffering. Yes, there was
exploitation. Yes, there was injustice in European Capitalism as
there was in Russian and Chinese "Feudalism". And yes, something had
to be done about it. But the answer was not Communism. The answer
could not have been Communism simply because nobody knew what
Communism was. Karl Marx saw the German and French Revolutions of
1848 and 1871 and he thought that a Communist Revolution would solve
all the problems. But he only thought so.

Marx had no time to see Communism being put into practice. The
German and French Revolutions failed and he died in 1883, in
London,  the centre of the Capitalist and Imperialist world. What practical
experience of his own theories could he have had?

The first Communist Revolution where Communists actually took and
held power was in Russia, long after the death of Marx. When Lenin
himself staged his Russian Revolution in 1917, he had no idea what
he was doing. He was merely hoping that Marx's Communist theories
would work. The same happened to Mao who copied Lenin. Mao was an
intellectual kept by his hard-working peasant father. He had no
practical experience of Communism. The only experience he had was
of  guerrilla warfare.

What most people don't realise is that Mao's authority did not come
from his successful establishment of Communism in China but from his
guerrilla war against Japan. In this respect, he was just like Chin
Peng. Like Chin Peng, Lenin, and other Communist leaders, once the
war was over, the great Chairman Mao had no idea what to do.

The Chinese, of course, were not stupid. They soon realised that
Communism wasn't working as expected and tried to introduce
Capitalist measures to repair the damage Communism had done to the
economy. But with Mao and his wife in charge, this was not possible.
And because Mao was a powerful symbol of the Revolution and people
worshipped him like a God, no one dared touch him. As a result, the
people suffered for decades. The suffering of the Chinese, Tibetan
and other people affected by Maoism is beyond description.

When Mao finally died in 1976, he left China one of the poorest and
most backward countries on Earth, with a big Communist Party, a big
Communist Army, but no food to feed its people. Tens of millions of
people had died of starvation and Maoist China was importing food
from its Capitalist enemies. Mao's powerful wife was arrested and
tried for treason just a few weeks later. In the end she committed
suicide.

In 1979, three years after his death, China began to abolish the
Communist co-operative system. Peasants got some of their land
back.

In 1981, the Chinese Communist Party publicly criticised Mao for
his  policies. This was the end of Maoism in China. Ever since then, the
leadership has slowly introduced more and more Capitalist methods
back into the Chinese system and the semi-Capitalist Chinese
economy  is now enjoying unprecedented strength.

In "On Guerrilla Warfare", Lenin said: "It is unconditionally
requisite that history be investigated in order to discover the
conditions of environment, the state of the economic progress, the
political ideas that obtained, the national characteristics, customs
and degree of civilisation. " If this is so, why can not the Maoists
of today study the historical failure of Maoism in China before
they  even start their revolution elsewhere?

Unlike the Maoists, we have followed Lenin's advice and studied
history thoroughly. We have studied the teachings of Communism and
we have studied the results of these teachings on the ground. As a
result, we can now look at the Maoists of Nepal, India, South
America and other places and clearly understand what a confused lot
they are. They deliberately ignore history and desperately cling on
to the dreams of Karl Marx, Lenin, Mao and a string of other
deluded  political fantasists. A dream that cannot and never will find
fulfilment on this Earth.

Mao said that people should not read too many books. But he himself
read – and wrote – many books. Did he not want people to read his
books? Was he afraid that people would find out the truth? At any
rate, the books he read and believed in were books written by
fantasists who themselves believed the fantasies of others before
them. This is how Adharma works. It is a self-perpetuating,
destructive force that does not rest from doing evil until it is
defeated. Therefore, it is the duty of all right-believing people
to  wipe Adharma off the face of the Earth. The destruction of Maoism
is a good start.
