When the TPLF was TOO RED
A 1984 publication by Marxist-Leninist
(ML) Core in the TPLF
Some highlights:
Pre-TPLF
Ethiopia: The civilization of Axum which thrived in what is
now Tigray and some outlying areas was one of the most slave societies of the
time and the fall of Axum around 10th
century AD was also the fall of slavery as a social system; Yohannes IV was
regarded as a feudal lord; Ethiopia emerged as a full-fledged empire at the end
of the 19th century.
ML
& its relations with other Ethiopian forces: The TPLF had the
ML since its inception and it passed a resolution in the TPLF First Congress in
1979, to make it legal for the vanguard elements and communist cadres (both in
the army and mass organizations) to organize openly at a higher level and make
necessary preparations for that. It stated that the Proletariat is the leader
of the revolution and that the peasants were its core. At the beginning of 1980
the writings of Enver Hoxha’s , the Chair of the Albanian Communist party that
was anti-Maoist and anti-Soviet Socialism, found its way to the TPLF and the ML
since adopted his line; the ML was against the Tigray Liberation Front (TLF),
which it accused as narrow Tigrinyan nationalist, it was also against the EPRP
(Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Party), All Ethiopia Socialist Movement
(Meison), and Ethiopian Democratic Union (EDU). It rooted them out of Tigray
one after the other and became the sole power in there.
Regarding
the Eritrean Peoples’ struggle: It considered it a colonial
question and just, but it stated that there is a need for a genuine proletarian
leadership, if the Eritrean people struggle was to result not only in national
liberation, but in social emancipation, as well.
It also supported the Palestinian struggle
against Zionism and Imperialism
