MIM Theory #5
Diet for a Small Red Planet

MIM Theory #5 is for the dedicated political activist trying to understand what Marxist-Leninist-Maoists consider most effective in achieving their goals. This issue appeared at a crucial time in the international communist movement. We are facing a period of upsurge of the Maoist forces, even in the imperialist countries. As always in the creation of new genuine communist forces, the question of line, strategy and tactics arises in the process of achieving political seasoning and maturity. If the genuine communist forces are to amount to anything, we must undertake serious materialist analyses and understand the dialectical stages and phases through which the struggle passes. (112 pp.)

This issue of MIM Theory contains our analysis of strategy questions such as focoism as raised by George Jackson and Che, our analysis of what communists should learn from SDS history (Students for a Democratic Society) along with our analysis of how communists should relate to non-communist organizations in general. You will also learn from this issue some usage of those terms you've heard before--"ultra-leftism," "right opportunism" and "deviations."

Beyond strategy questions, we also have a section on wimmin revolutionaries in Peru and an interview with an industrial worker in China.

Reviews:

I have learned a lot from it, most of all that many of my ideas on revolution fall under what you call "focoism" and would set back the revolution.
--Oregon prisoner, 1999
