 [On the last day of the dialectical seminar 2023,  the evaluation speech presented by Samir Singh, representative of CPN (Masal)]

I learned a lot by participating in the dialectical seminar 2023.  Proletarian mode of thinking is very important for a revolutionary movement.

We live in a capitalist or feudal society. We are very much influenced by a petty-bourgeois mode of thinking. Many opportunistic and revisionist accidents occur in party programs. Therefore, an advanced knowledge of proletarian mode of thinking is essential for the working class movement.

We attended dialectic seminars and learnt different categories of mode of thinking. Concrete analysis of concrete situations is a fundamental part of proletarian mode of thinking. This is the spirit of Marxism and Leninism. We make many mistakes in party activities. Various kinds of opportunistic and revisionist accidents are happening in the performance of the party. Such accidents happen only because of the influence of petty-bourgeois mode of thinking. It is very difficult to apply a proletarian mode of thinking. For that, it is very necessary to get used to dialectics.

The working class is involved in production and reproduction. They engage in class struggle, because of which objective reality changes rapidly. In such a situation, we have to analyze the dialectical concept. If our theoretical ideology cannot strengthen the class struggle, we should change our strategy and tactics.

Other categories of mode of thinking, strategy and tactics, proletarian culture of debate, scientific work, proletarian control and self-control are very important for proletarian mode of thinking. All these categories are theoretical. It is very important to have a combination of theory and practice. Advancement in knowledge is possible only when we have a combination of theory and practice. Practice has a decisive role in deciding whether our theory is correct or incorrect. The Marxist-Leninist scientific style is a dialectical relationship between theory and practice. Therefore, in my opinion, participation in class struggle should be included as a sixth category. Due to lack of class struggle, the petty-bourgeois mode of thinking is increasing.

Simplicity of theoretical knowledge is essential for proletarian thinking. The working class is the base of the party. They are struggling for basic needs like food, house, education, health etc. Our theoretical conception should focus on how to apply dialectical materialism to such fundamental needs. Our question is how to apply dialectical materialism to hungry people. How to create a class struggle by organizing those hungry people? If we limit ourselves to the complexity of theoretical ideologies, we will be far from the reach of the proletarian mode of thinking and result will be sophistry.

Our country Nepal is a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country. Because of this, most of the party workers are influenced by petty-bourgeois mode of thinking. Therefore, it is very necessary to participate in a dialectical seminar for proletarian thinking. MLPD and NCP (Masal) have had good friendly relations for a long time. MLPD continues to invite many friends of NCP [Masal] to the dialectical seminar. This kind of invitation is very much needed for the coming days. It is necessary to create an easy financial environment, an easy learning process. So that many of our Nepali comrades can easily learn proletarian mode of thinking.

The dialectical seminar is a good theoretical basis for the international revolutionary movement. MLPD and NCP [Masal] have a little difference in their teaching methods. Some subjects are different. In dialectical seminars it is called proletarian control and self-control. We teach our comrades Lenin’s principles of organization. But teaching material is not a big difference between MLPD and NCP [Masal].

We learned a lot from the dialectical seminar. But advanced knowledge is possible only when we apply that knowledge. There are some differences in the contradictions of Nepali and German society. Most of the task has been done in German situations. We will try to apply this theoretical ideology to the situation of Nepal. It is a process of advanced knowledge. Therefore, many dialectical seminars are necessary for advanced knowledge and strengthening of national and international class struggle.

Dialectical seminars should focus on strengthening the international revolutionary movement. Now the socialist movement is weak all over the world. We have to find out the main crisis of the world. We must find a common and strong agenda to strengthen the international revolutionary movement. Presently many countries are involved in the patriotic movement. Environmental catastrophe and cultural imperialism are strong common agendas of international revolutionary movements. This type of movement is the basis of socialist movement. Strengthening this type of international movement also requires a proletarian mode of thinking.

Our country Nepal is greatly influenced by Indian and American imperialism. Our party, Nepal Communist Party (Masal) has started a movement against these imperialist countries. But the solidarity of all the revolutionary people of the world is necessary. It is also a proletarian mode of thinking process.

It is necessary to include historical materialism in the teaching material for proletarian mode of thinking. How is class struggle possible? How is scientific change of society possible? These questions are very important. It is possible to solve these questions through the historical materialist method. The solution of this question is also an important basis of the proletarian mode of thinking.
