Dear Comrade Manik Mukherjee, all dear Comrades...
Unfortunately it seems again impossible for me to participate the important Al-Indian Anti-Imperialist Forum conference in Calcutta on November 27 - 29, 2007.
Instead, please accept hereby my hearty greetings to the conference.
Below please find a KOMINFORM commentary for possible free use in that arena and for other discussions and purposes, in accordance with your wishes.
The text below is a short one and intentionally simplified in order the save time of the conference and to give some "quick-reference" -type ideas to be thought further...
Very best, Dear Comrade Manik Mukherjee, comradely and in hard common struggle.

THE DANGEROUS GEOPOLITICAL CONTRADICTIONS.
My very best greetings to the AIFAF Conference by the KOMINFORM -internet network system.
What we all wish for is global peace and democratic world order with equal social and political rights for all the people. This is the goal we are determined to work for.
However, in this work and struggle for world´s people we face contradictions which, in addition to the classic class struggle form some new problematic angles of view.
Being very well aware that behind the past and upcoming wars and violences there is class struggle and class contradictions all over the globe, we must focus the world scene as a horrible result of undecided class struggles. Approaching of collapse of world capitalism the headquarters of capitalist elite do not hesitate to use any kind of means to push forward the collapse process which can be quite easily predicted on the basis of Marxist science. In circumstances of increasing unemployment, worsening of social security and downhill of exchange rates the war is always some kind of a solution. At the same time, during war attention of people is easily turned off from the social problems.
Hence; Global threats of war, even the WW III.
A quick look on world mad and especially on the map of Eurasia gives us an idea how world´s vertical and horizontal contradictions are in a difficult way tied with each other and sometimes even controversial with each other.
I guess our Russian comrades do not love too much Mr. Putin´s regime because of internal problems of Russia. However, at the same time Russia has become a strong power agaist US-led western imperialism. In addition, Moscow gives its political support to anti-imperialist socialist Pyongyang, and also, for instance to the clerical anti-imperialist government of Iran which hardly has much support among Iranian people and workers.
The same map of Eurasia gives us also an idea of gates of imperialism on their way for possible attacks and efforts to even to conquere eastern hemisphere; in northeast we see Korean penisula and we remeber the war 1950-1953 and the still problematic situation which has been sold to the western people as an imaginary "threat of the DPRK"... In the Asian southeast we see Vietnam and remember the horrible war in sixties and seveties..
In the southwest we find Balkans and Caucasus; I guess nobody has forgotten NATO´s outrageous attack on Yugoslavia in 1999, with further consequences in Kosovo and in the conflict area of Russia-backed South Ossetia/Abhasia and NATO-backed Georgia.
In Europe NATO we see plans for U.S. military bases in Poland and Czech Republic; even Baltic countries and half-Natoized Finland form a military threat against Russia with its allies in the northwest corner of the area in question.
Additionally, military experts from different countries have confirmed moves of U.S. nuke submarines and aircraft carries around Eurasia waters, quite obvioulsy not for fun.
Still more, the by different pretexts occupied Iraq and Afghanistan in Central and South Asia should give us an idea what are this all proceedings about...
Now there remains inconvenient questions for us to solve. First, should one support fight against for instance the capitalist regimes of Russia and Iran?
Secondly, should one be ready the join the possible wars against western imperialism in the militaries of those capitalist countries which have to defend themselves against the all-destroying US-led imperialism with all its NATO-allies...?
By joining the class struggles in Russia and Iran in this very situation might be just what Mr. Bush is waiting for because the internal contradictions would weaken those countries.
Furthermore, it seems obvious that revolutionary struggle is hardly possible in circumstances of war and even in circumstances of serious threat of a big war.
Vladimir Ilyits Lenin faced this problem in his time, too. His resolution was clear: Before revolution Russia must at first be removed from the war.
Shall we possibly at this stage of history proceed further on that type of a path...?
Let us think about it...
Furthermore, how should one put into this puzzle the CSTO formed by Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and the SCO formed China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan? Powerful anti-imperialist forces, but horizontally, on class struggle level at least mostly against workers´ interests.
What has been said above is in order to give serious elements for further thinking, discussions and practical decisions.
On the backgound of the very likely approaching war with hellish worldwide disaster there is the bottomless greedness of the US-led western capitalism, not only for oil and other natural riches but for the drive to political world hegemony, powerpolitics as its worst... For sure these plans are doomed to fail but before some kind of a solution one must be afraid for horrible things to happen.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
