Bury away "the No League Principle" of the Communist Party!
"No League Principle" is also a political standpoint.
Just the standpoint of working class is the only truth.
**********
The Communist Party won "the Victory" in the mayor Komae election, and now as if it is just "the Rising Tide", they strengthen the maneuver to rake up the support of the workers public toward the House of Representatives' election.
However, can we expect anything, even if just slightly, that replaces "the Existing political parties" about this party?
Might the Communist Party be an "Existing political party", the most typical political party of the rotted "Existing political parties"?
We see the "Evidence" in the insistence of "the Joint struggle with the no league stratum," which this party shouts oneself hoarse now.
**********
The Communist Party summarizes the winning mayor Komae election and is emphasizing, "It was showed that People of the no league and the Japanese Communist Party can do nothing but cooperate and unite with each other to change the all-government-party politics." ('Red flag commentary feature version' title on July 29)
In short, they say that it become possible to win the victory in Komae city by the cooperation of the Communist party and the no league, and it is necessary to win the national administration election by similar way, too.
Kenji Miyamoto talked as if the victory through such way is the evidence that "the law-suitable struggle for which the Japanese Communist Party has done his best assiduously is bearing fruit." (5CC)
However, "the law-suitable struggle" of which Miyamoto says has no relation to the (thoroughly dialectic) "law" of which Marxism and the historical materialism say.
It is said only in the meaning of the pure improvementalism and gradualism, and in the thoroughly vulgar meaning, that is, the revolution movement should be done step by step through "the necessary stages."
It is the "law" concept in the thoroughly vulgar meaning, that is, the struggle now is on the "democratic" stage (because the people's problem is the democracy and the Japanese reality still has not achieved "the true democracy"), and for the first time after this problem would have been accomplished, the next more advanced problem would be instituted and the struggle for it would start,
however even this struggle would be in the limit of the such wish of "the large majority of the people," so if the people would not wish so the Communist Party would not institute the reform of the Establishment, the Establishment now or any reactionary Establishment either.
In short, they swear as following, though if "the People" hope for the reformation and gain it the communist party follows to it, if "the People" do not wish to exceed the current state by as much as one step, the Communist Party only tunes to them also, and never mentions "the Outrageousness" of overcoming capitalism.
Because this is "the general law of social development" and the essence of "the scientific socialism" saying Miyamoto, it should be understood that how fraudulent the standpoint saying Miyamoto of regarding "the scientific principle" and "the development law" of society as important is and it is only the justification of his petty bourgeois split and opportunism.
There is not a mystery even if the Japanese Communist Party that is thorough opportunistic and dyes the petty bourgeois spirit of the masses following principle like this temporizes and comes to show the coquetry to the "No league" stratum.
The Communist Party sees that the Socialist Party has dismantled virtually and the "Reformist no league" stratum increases, and on the other hand that the petty bourgeois conservative stratum disillusioned to the Liberal-Democratic Party and the New Frontier Party is being made the no league.
And, the Communist Party thinks just the acquisition of the support of these stratums to be a splendid chance when he extends power.
Of course, the thinking to acquire the no league stratum is not wrong in itself.
However, the problem is how to acquire them.
Do you acquire the support by selling the flattery to the no league and the no league principle, following and temporizing to them and their standpoint, or acquire by making the no league stratum (That is, in this case, the workers being liberated from the fantasy to the Socialist Party) awake to the true class standpoint?
This might be a definite difference.
Of course, it might be clear that many parts of the current supports to the Socialist Party have been the one to the petty bourgeois nature of the Socialist Party.
However, on the other hand, it was the support of the workers public to the Socialist Party as a superficial worker's party (the political party recommended by labor union), too.
The workers had a fantasy in the Socialist Party in some measure as a political party that opposed the capital and its rule for the workers.
Now, such workers have deserted the Socialist Party and is deserting more and more.
However, it is not this stratum to which the Communist Party wants to expands support newly.
They oppositely desert the people who repulsed to the Socialist Party from such class standpoints and the leftist standpoints and want to base on the more petty bourgeois stratum.
Therefor they shout in loud voice actively, "only improve in the frame of capitalism", "not to deny the private property", "not to think of socialism."
They are talking boastfully that the politics of the Communist Party infiltrates into not only "the Reformist no league" but also the stratum that supports "originally" conservative party and is acquiring even the support of such people.
Such examples exist.
One "Event" was about to happen in a city in the Tohoku (northeast) region at the New Year of this year.
The movement that a big supermarket with the center breaks "the Custom" of the local shopping street and tries to do the first sales on the New Year's Day has surfaced.
Whom the local shopping street tried to obstruct this counted and relied on most was not the conservative party like up to now but the Communist Party.
The "Local" petty bourgeois said, "There were the variety of circumstances in the Liberal-Democratic Party and it was not united. We want to borrow the power of the Communist Party."
They say, because there is the part that adheres to some big supermarket, that is, large capital in the Liberal-Democratic Party, the entire Liberal-Democratic Party does not move "altogether" according to the demand of local shop, the Communist Party differs from it.
Then, the small constituency candidate of the Communist Party and the managing staff in local of the Communist Party unfolded some movement on the street very enthusiastically and the big supermarket was made to be abandoned the try.
The petty bourgeois who had relied on the communist party in local were correct.
Thus, the support of "conservative no league" stratum to the Communist Party has increased, too.
Though these kinds of things are not separately unusual but happen everywhere in the whole country now, of course, this is not to become a boast of the Communist Party.
This also teaches how the Communist Party has degenerated in the petty bourgeois and the bourgeois.
It is not exaggeration at all to say that this party has degenerated into a petty bourgeois reactionary political party already.
Because the total election is near, the Communist Party is taking "Aim" to the no league stratum.
However, they do not struggle against "the No League Principal," but oppositely, they are trying to acquire the (temporary and unreliable) support of the no league by thoroughly temporizing to them and buying their "Favor."
However, what is the no league principle?
In this capitalistic class society, what kind of "no league" (the political colorlessness or neutrality) would be able to exist on the whole?
In this class society any standpoint is politically provided, therefor, the no league is not the thing except one standpoint of the bourgeois and the petty bourgeois.
It is only the one political standpoint that is not beautified and protected but oppositely should be denied and overcome for the workers.
This standpoint is mean or a fantasy.
The reason for meanness is that though there cannot be any standpoint other than the class standpoint it pretends whether it is able to be, and it is soaked in the self-conceit spirit whether this standpoint is more dominant than the open, political standpoints.
Such conceit might be not only nonsense but also the ugly one.
The conscious worker will not protect the no league principle in any case and much less hoist it.
Of course, he never boasts of it.
Oppositely, the conscious worker accomplishes a decisive combat against the no league principle, indicts the no league principle, and puts the consistent worker's class standpoint against it.
Lenin hoisted the slogan "Bury the no league principle" before.
The Communist Party at the present age is shouting the no league principle cheers oppositely.
There is the difference like between the heavens and the earth here and the depth of the degeneration of the present Communist Party is exposed.
It is correct that the no league stratum also should be acquired (If it is a worker's political tendency, all the more) by the workers' party.
However, this acquisition is performed and should be performed by not following to the no league stratum and not surrendering to its prejudice, its petty bourgeois character, and its conceit, but only by exposing the fantasy of the no league principle and accomplishing a decisive fight with it , only by thoroughly clarifying what should shift to the class standpoint.
Bury the no league principle or the no league following principle of the Communist Party!
