Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement

The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) was a group of anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist parties and organizations which came together in the "struggle for the formation of a Communist International of a new type," and would be instrumental in laying the foundations for Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, considered to be a new stage in revolutionary science distinct from Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought.

In the Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, the RIM lays out the principal concerns for the International Communist Movement in the light of the unique conditions of the time, including the abandonment of socialist construction not only in the USSR, but in China after Mao's death as well, the failures and errors of the ICM in the revolutionary waves of the 60s and 70s, and the shifts in the character of capital and socio-economic organization which would come to be widely known as neoliberalism. The RIM revindicates some key Leninist positions abandoned by communist parties, especially in the imperial core, highlights both the errors and successes of the Chinese experience, and sets the broad course of the ICM in the coming years.
