For a Unified Maoist International Conference! – Proposal regarding the balance of the International Communist Movement and of its current General Political Line is a document released by the Coordinating Committee for the Unified Maoist International Conference. In it, the committee proposes a general line for the international communist movement and the call for a new communist international united under Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Released January 4, 2022, this document has sparked debate within the ICM; this resulting critique by the TKP/ML is a valuable text not only for understanding the shortcomings of the original draft proposal, but as a valuable lesson on dialectics, contradictions, and how Communist Parties apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to their assessments of their objective realities and positions.The original assessment contains many errors and calques as a result of the translation process. I have gone through the entire document and made cosmetic changes to assure comprehension and ease of understanding. I have done my best to preserve intended meaning throughout the text, but considering the difficulty of understanding some sections, I acknowledge I may have made mistakes. Any corrections are welcome.You can read the proposal here and the original assessment here:https://ikk-online10.net/the-declaration-of-unified-maoist-international-conference-umic-and-the-assessment-of-tkp-ml.htmlI collect no fees or advertising money by sharing readings of important texts.
