Party’s discussion paper published
Written by: Nick G. on 22 September 2026
A CPA (M-L) discussion paper sent to the 13th Congress of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Star this September has been published on the Media & Archives/Booklets drop down menu on our website. It can also be accessed here:
The Red Star comrades asked us to address the question of a paradigm shift in the balance of power between the imperialist states.
The paper identifies the main imperialist states; claims that Australia can be correctly defined as an advanced capitalist country under the domination of US imperialism; and offers opinions on how Indian and Australian revolutionaries, in each of our respective countries, can address tensions in our region.
It discusses whether or not imperialism is best thought of as the highest, or the latest, stage of imperialism and whether or not the five characteristics of imperialism identified by Lenin are still relevant.
In relation to the inter-imperialist rivalry between China and the United States, it argues that “Efforts must be made to counter views sympathetic to Chinese social-imperialism. We do not want the US to launch a war with China, but neither do we accept the view that China’s expansion is a strategy designed to oppose US hegemonism. There should be no support for China as a leader of anti-hegemonic struggle when it is itself striving for hegemony.”
