Dear MIM:
I wish to convey my deep sincere greetings to you and all the fellow comrades over there. Am grateful
for all the work you do for MIM and in a special way am thankful for the coordination between me and you.
Am glad once again comrade to inform you that I have received all the information--press and books you sent to me. I distributed half a box of what you sent to me at first and am still doing so in all possible ways. Recently I have received the four volumes and MIM press and I have also started reading one of them. I have various strategies of doing more works for MIM here in Uganda with your approval and permission as well as your possible guidance and assistance.
Lastly, I wish to request you comrade to provide me some more information about membership in MIM and any other possible information that you see that I need to know and have. I wish also once again to thank you for all and please convey also my greetings to the Executive Committee of MIM.
Comradely lucks,
Ugandan comrade
International Minister replies:
The comrade is aware that MIM does not organize in Uganda, so his statement is a polite means of
disagreeing with MIM. MIM is set up in the imperialist countries and we do not want to see it running parties
in the oppressed nations such as Uganda. For MIM to run a party in Uganda would be what we call the Cominternist
error.
Lately MIM emphasizes to our international comrades who disagree with us and support Cominternism that we are here in MIM outnumbered badly in the imperialist countries. It is quite difficult to run an organization without being taken over by spies. Our comrades in the Third World do not need the additional difficulties of being organized from the imperialist countries.
On the other hand, when we hear people say "nothing can be done" in the imperialist countries, that is clearly wrong. Ugandans are right to want to read U.$-based communist literature and U.$. communists should send it while hoping for a Ugandan press too. People stymied by the backward politics of the oppressor nations are not thinking globally and about the contribution that can be made at the margin.
