La Révolution Birmane
Burma, the chaotic land to the East of the Bharatiya Commune, has long represented both a dagger held to the throat of the Indian workers and peasants, and also an opportunity to spread the peasants' and workers' revolution to the parched and suffering people of Burma, to bring to their cracked and dry lips the elixir of the healing balm of the syndicalist socialist society. Free of the oppression of imperialism and capitalism, an India a thousand times more beautiful is being born along the banks of the Ganges. Let us too build a Burma a thousand times more beautiful along the banks of the Irrawaddy, from the wreckage of the old world and old society!
The Supreme People's Assembly of Communes and Villages has approved a plan to spread the revolution to Burma, bringing to foment the workers and peasants of Burma. Now that the oppressive boot of the English Imperialists has been removed, the unstable and poorly directed Burmese government is incapable of oppressing the rightful movements of the people against the tyranny of capitalism. In fact, it is incapable of doing very much at all in the poor forsaken country, where gangs of bandits, mercenaries, and petty local princes feud over the bones of the Burmese villagers and workers. This presents however, a key opportunity for us.
Political action officers of the Bharatiya Commune are being infiltrated into Burma, overland, by sea, and being brought in by air, tasked with raising the revolutionary conscience and class conscience of the Burmese people. Skilled in political action, these men use a variety of tactics, including putting on charades, public discussions, arguments, debates, the diffusion of posters, pamphlets, and newspapers (a large numbers of presses have been set up to print Burmese newspapers to be smuggled across the border), distribution of revolutionary literature, introduction of revolutionary songs, education, and other principles to bring a revolutionary spirit to the Burmese people. This will happen in both the countryside and in the cities. In the countryside however, it is viewed as much easier to bring the revolution, promising an end to the rule of landlords and princes and the redistribution of land to the peasants, just as has occurred in the Bharatiya commune. However, in the cities trade unions will be established and co-opted, to build up a broad-based popular sentiment
For those villages, and in the cities those worker sections, where appropriate revolutionary conscience has been raised, Bharatiya Commune Workers' and Peasants' Self-Defense Militia officers, drawn from the village-defense militia units which are found throughout the Commune. With provisions of arms, and ammunition, they will train and equip Worker and Peasant self-defense units in Burma, to defend working people against bandits and princes. In the long term, these will constitute the basis of an army to bring the revolution fully to Burma.
In the Commune itself, a provisional revolutionary government, the Burmese Democratic Republic, has been established in Calcutta, composed of various exiled leftist Burmese intellectuals, politicians, and activists. As of yet the Commune has not recognized this government, since its activities in Burma are currently secret, but it is financially supporting the Burmese Democratic Republic and providing it headquarters in the Commune. Furthermore, training is being undertaken for the BDR to build up its own military forces, composed of exiled Burmese workers and peasants, to support internal democratic forces in Burma if necessary. A variety of revolutionary schools will be established to bring up the general educational conscience of émigrés, aiming to establish a leadership class for Burma once it is liberated.
Throughout the country, those institutions which exist will be infiltrated and taken over by the Communists, and the Commune's government will be applying pressure onto the Burmese government to halt any attempts to repress communists. Furthermore, a secret campaign of assassination, pressure, and intimidation is being carried out against key anti-communist figures and opposition leaders.
These programs, combined with other actions, seek to prepare a socialist revolution to take power within Burma at the soonest possible time.
