1. Egyptian Communist Party
Speech of the Egyptian Communist Party
at the International Symposium on the Current Situation and the Development Trend
of World Socialism and Leftist Thoughts
in Beijing - October 30, 2013
--------------------------------------------------------------In the beginning, let me, on behalf of the Egyptian Communist Party and on my behalf, thank
members of the Center of World Socialism Studies, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences for the
generous invitation and hospitality. I would like to summarize for you what is happening in Egypt
since last June 30, until now. This second revolutionary wave of January 25, 2011 revolution and
millions of Egyptians taking to public squares in cities and villages to overthrow the rule of Muslim
Brotherhood and their allies of reactionary religious trends; this revolutionary action has proved
beyond doubt the popular and political condemnation for this terrorist political program and the role
of the United States and European Union governments supporting their leaders against the interests
of the Egyptian people. They supported the forces of counter-revolution, which stole the Egyptian
revolution in January 2011 and established a rule acting as agent to imperialism in order to achieve
its plans for restructuring the Middle East, with what was known as the New Middle East... and so
undermine the foundations of Arab countries, dismantling their national armies and creating the socalled creative chaos as happened in Libya, Yemen, and currently their attempts in Syria. These
plans are against the interests of the Arab peoples seeking liberation from dependency and
corruption by achieving comprehensive development with the huge potentials of petroleum and
Arab political and economic integration that enables our people to face the plots of America and
their prominent clients such as Turkey and Qatar, who spread lies and rumors about the
revolutionary wave and its leaders and are financing terrorist acts and subversive activities of forces
of the backward religious rightists.
Under these difficult circumstances we passed and the onslaught launched by imperialists and their
local agents we did not see the distinguished clear stance from the international democratic forces,
which we expected to support forces of the Egyptian revolution for its second revolutionary wave
on June 30, which will have revolutionary and democratic consequences to Egypt and the entire
Arab region and even the Middle East and on a global level… We are still calling upon the
democratic forces all over the world, to support and assist the Egyptian people to achieve their
decisive victory and succeed in implementing the road map, which he put to achieve the objectives
of its revolution and building the modern democratic civil Egypt.
The fascist religious rightist regime led by the Muslim Brotherhood with a lot of reactionary
religious forces was a real threat to Egypt, the Arab region.
Despite the success of our masses supported by our armed forces, which sided with them in a direct
blow to the religious regime and toppling their leaders from power, yet they are still, through their
remains, practicing terrorism through bombings, killings, chaos and preventing the return of
production to disrupt recovery of our economy to achieve the development we are seeking. We
clearly notice the global imperialist powers insisting on supporting them and calling for their
participation in political life for the next phase, the dubious role played by international envoys like
Catherine Ashton, John McCain and others. Our party with the forces of the Egyptian revolution
demands considering the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Group and Islamic Jihad and the forces of
the Salafist Jihadists as terrorist organizations to be prosecuted worldwide and submitted to trial for
crimes against humanity, as reiterated by a verdict recently issued by the Egyptian judiciary.

2. The success of the popular classes of the forces of revolution in victory for the second time in less
than three years over forces of right-wing with its corrupt, religious and infiltrator faces will restore
the balance lost to conflict in the region and puts the first step for the establishment of democratic
popular regimes that achieve the demands of Arab peoples and the peoples of the entire Middle
East; finally toppling the plan of imperialism in dividing Arab countries into weak mini-states,
destroying their armies in order to make Israel enjoy and dominate the whole region. Yet, the plot
fell and the positive effects began in Syria and are expected to accelerate during the next phase; so
that the people of Syria may achieve its objectives through a political solution in order to establish a
democratic state, preserve the unity of Syrian land and prevent any attempts against military
intervention. This would also achieve more uncovering of Hamas and disclosing their plots to
prevent Palestinian reconciliation, for which we call, in order for the Palestinian people to achieve
their hopes in building their independent state.
Dear Comrades,
We, in the Egyptian Communist Party are working within the Revolutionary Democratic Alliance
of Socialist Forces, which is an active member of the National Salvation Front, with the national
liberal forces and Egyptian revolutionary youth organizations such as Tmarrod (Rebel), June 30
youth coordination, and National Salvation Front youth raising specific goals to complete the
revolution.
1. Completing overthrowing the right-wing Islamic project in Egypt, eliminating all its
institutions and providing leaders who incited terrorism and contaminated their hands with
blood of Egyptians complete elimination of all hotbeds of terrorism in Sinai and the rest of
the small outposts in some villages in Egypt.
2. Completing writing the Constitution of Egypt revolution and referendum by the people to
achieve the main demands of social justice and empowering the forces of workers and
peasants, getting them to realize their dreams and raise their socioeconomic standard
eliminating suspicion of a religious state and preventing the establishment of a police or
military state… a state that leads its Arab region, and affect development of the Middle East
and its evacuation of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, and helping
progress and prosperity of African countries and strongly contribute in achieving world
peace.
3. Formation of a unified leadership of left-wing parties and their organizations to run through
the upcoming parliamentary elections and be able to achieve positive results representing the
impact of the left on the Egyptian society and share with the national forces in providing a
national efficient figure supported by most Egyptian people in the upcoming presidential
election in the face of potential candidates of the counter-revolutionary forces.
What happened early this month in people's celebration of the anniversary of October 1973 victory
and terrorists attempt to steal the joy of the Egyptian people, by making many explosions and
attacks on the state establishments, is the most evident proof on the extent of their political failure
and their being far from any possibility of sharing in political success.
The revolution has achieved many successes, yet it still faces major serious challenges. We have
confidence in the support of all the forces of democracy and progress in the whole world to
strengthen our revolution, particularly in the International Communist Parties.
