'CAPITALISM HAS TO BE OVERTHROWN' CALL TO WORLD'S COMMUNISTS 'We meet at a time when the world is in the grip of an unprecedented economic crisis - the inevitable outcome of policies imposed in the garb of imperialist globalisation', Pallab Sengupta told delegates to the 11th International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties in New Delhi on Friday (November 20). 'People at large are the victims of imperialist aggression, occupation and subjection as well as the crisis-ridden capitalist economy which jeopardises the life of the common people around the world', the Communist Party of India's international secretary declared at the opening of the conference. 'However, irrespective of the intensity of the crisis, capitalism does not automatically collapse', Communist Party of India (Marxist) international secretary Sitaram Yechury warned, 'it has to be overthrown'. Emphasising the importance of cultural and ideological struggle, he urged all contingents of the international Communist movement to intensify popular action and 'mount an assault on the role of capital'. Over three days, representatives of 56 parties from 48 countries are discussing a draft Delhi Declaration on 'the international capitalist crisis, the workers' and peoples' struggle, the alternatives and the role of the communist and working class movement'. Among the participants are delegates from the Communist parties of Britain, Ireland, the USA, China, Palestine, Cuba and South Africa, the Hungarian Communist Workers Party, the Tudeh Party of Iran and the People's Progressive Party which governs in Guyana. Communists from as far apart as Brazil, Britain and Russia have met in New Delhi, India to discuss what can be done to face down the world wide crisis of capitalism.
