In the following we document a short press release of the general secretary of CPI (Maoist), Ganapathi, on the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx.
Celebration of the birth bicentenary of Karl Marx from 5 to 11 May 2018
....The bicentenary of the birth of Karl Marx,the founder of the proletarian ideology, politics and scientific socialism and a great revolutionary philosopher who formulated an entirely new and thoroughly scientific
theory and method, is also coming near. Marx showed a new path for humanity that flourished in the process of bitter class struggle and in struggle against bourgeois and petty-bourgeois ideology, economics, politics and culture as well as in struggle against right and ‘left’ opportunism within the working-class movement.
It marked the dawn of a new epoch for humanity that was chained to class exploitation and oppression for thousands of years.
This made the transition to a classless society –and hence to the realm of freedom – a real possibility. ...
With revolutionary greetings,
(Ganapathy)
General Secretary,
Central Committee,
