Revolutionary Marxists A unequivocally -Sopeber 11 ere rorist attacks in the United States. The killing of thouSOS O OreiRoy people is absolutely criminal and has nothing whatsoever to do with the struggle for human liberation any 30.818 part of the world.
Indeed, this atrocity will undoubtedly HAKe struggle more difficult and the forces of capitalist Cac lOl. progressive Indians have been secing over the years in Sicc oo. Hic ts of extremely communal and terrorist forces has weakened the progressive struggle for Kashmir's national unity In occupied their there is apparently no shortdsc or young moca wulng to sacrifice themselves human bombs against the classes Isracli population. However, from being morally nate acts are a complete political dead-end.

Thus, were the intifada be replaced by such aCrrOrisi acts, likely consequence would be, the of a few hated figures, but also of innocent civilians, which in replace individuals. turn would be powertul ele ments in driving the Isracli regimes. This is the most and its accomplices, not of the progressive forces fightdevelopment of ing for liberation from this any radical opposition forces inhuman system.
Those who have organised Throughout the history of these attacks are no part of the modern socialist moverevolutionary alist struggle. Marxists have carried out a W policy of assassination that is, the killing of hated figures of an oppressive regime. Our objection to this kind of Prakash Karat on morality - but on the extreme form of anti-impegrounds that it simply does rialism.
In a struggle between two The ruling class can always extreme reactionaries, both This is products of late capitalism, an age of political, conomic, particularly the case in bourmoral degeneration of world capitalism, it is not the duty of revolutionary Marxists to choose the lesser ocwcca lica, buco boint out that the way ahead lies through fighting both Cicis It might be arqued that CYCH such terrorism facto anti-imperialist. This is berween objective gave rise to such political movements, and their actual There is a need to distinguish berween the anti-Shab struggles the masses in 1979, and the reacbolised by Khomeini, who seized the leadership of that In the same way, there is a need to distinguish berween when they take recourse to for example the IRA differ at various times, national liberation movetotally from those like CPI(M) currents in different counleader tries and Cleariy or others, tionary movements.
