Dear comrades:
Please accept our warmest revolutionary communist greetings on the occasion of the third anniversary of the initiation of the heroic People's War in Nepal. On this occasion we send our red salutes to Comrade Prachanda, the General Secretary of the CC of the CPN (Maoist), to the Central Committee and all comrades and fighters of the Party and the People's War. Along with you we commemorate the comrades who in this PW have laid down their lives for the cause of revolution in Nepal and world proletarian revolution. We send our heartfelt greetings to our class brothers and sisters in Nepal who have been carrying forward this People's War in the midst of hardship and difficulties. We proudly claim this People's War as our own and stand firm in its support till the end, until it seizes countrywide power for the proletariat and people and sweeps away the scourge of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism from the face of Nepal.
We Maoists of Iran have learnt a lot of lessons from this People's War of Nepal. These lessons and the strong spirit that it has given to us is an immense internationalist support to the revolutionary work that we are carrying out with the akin of forming a Maoist Party in Iran and initiating a People's War against the reactionary Islamic Republic of Iran. Twenty years ago the People of Iran carried out a revolutionary struggle and toppled the hated reactionary regime of the Shah. But an equally reactionary regime called the Islamic Republic of Iran, with the consent of the imperialist powers, rode on the backs of the people to the seat of power and replaced the previous regime. The Islamic Republic, like the Shah, from the beginning represented the same reactionary class interests: the interests of imperialism and the comprador-feudal classes in Iran. In order to crush revolution and consolidate its rule it carried out a bloody suppression campaign against the revolutionary communists and other revolutionaries against wonens who had risen up to break their chains and to serve revolution, against the workers, against the peasants and against the oppressed nations and revolutionary intellectuals. All of this bitter experience can briefly be summed up like this: without political power all is illusion and without a people's army the people have nothing. In order to have an all-the-way victorious revolution the proletariat and peoples in every country most of all need a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist party with a correct line which alone can represent the immediate and long term interests of the proletariat and the people; which alone can initiate People's Wars and lead the people through the inevitable twists and turns and complexities of revolution to complete seizure of power for building a new society and advancing the world proletarian revolution until the imperialists and reactionaries are wiped out everywhere on earth and we finally can build communism in the world.
