This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

What is MIM?

The Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) is the collection of 
existing or emerging Maoist internationalist parties in the 
English-speaking imperialist countries and their English-speaking 
internal semi-colonies, as well as the existing or emerging Maoist 
Internationalist parties in Belgium, France and Quebec and the 
existing or emerging Spanish-speaking Maoist Internationalist 
parties of Aztlan, Puerto Rico and other territories of the U.$. 
Empire. MIM Notes is the newspaper of MIM. Notas Rojas is the 
newspaper of the Spanish-speaking parties or emerging parties of 
MIM.

MIM upholds the revolutionary communist ideology of Marxism-
Leninism-Maoism and is an internationalist organization that works 
from the vantage point of the Third World proletariat.

MIM struggles to end the oppression of all groups over other 
groups: classes, genders, nations. MIM knows this is only possibly 
by building public opinion to seize power through armed struggle.

Revolution is a reality for North America as the military becomes 
over-extended in the government's attempts to maintain world 
hegemony. MIM differs from other communist parties on three main 
questions: (1) MIM holds that after the proletariat seizes power 
in socialist revolution, the potential exists for capitalist 
restoration under the leadership of a new bourgeoisie within the 
communist party itself. In the case of the USSR, the bourgeoisie 
seized power after the death of Stalin in 1953; in China, it was 
after Mao's death and the overthrow of the "Gang of Four" in 1976. 
(2) MIM upholds the Chinese Cultural Revolution as the farthest 
advance of communism in humyn history. (3) As Marx, Engels and 
Lenin formulated and MIM has reiterated through materialist 
analysis, imperialism extracts super-profits from the Third World 
and in part uses this wealth to buy off whole populations of 
oppressor nation so-called workers. These so-called workers bought 
off by imperialism form a new petty-bourgeoisie called the labor 
aristocracy. These classes are not the principal vehicles to 
advance Maoism within those countries because their standards of 
living depend on imperialism. At this time, imperialist super-
profits create this situation in the Canada, Quebec, the United 
$tates, England, France, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Italy, 
Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Israel, Sweden and 
Denmark.

MIM accepts people as members who agree on these basic principles 
and accept democratic centralism, the system of majority rule, on 
other questions of party line.

"The theory of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin is universally 
applicable. We should regard it not as dogma, but as a guide to 
action. Studying it is not merely a matter of learning terms and 
phrases, but of learning Marxism-Leninism as the science of 
revolution."

-- Mao Zedong, Selected Works, Vol. II, p. 208.
