Statements and Actions on the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of the foundation of the Communist Party of Norway (NKP)
Tjen Folket Media recently released a statement on the anniversary of the foundation of the Communist Party of Norway (NKP) on the 4th of November. They have also reported on recent actions observed on the same occasion.
They shared a video, a picture report and a text written and made on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the foundation.
The editorial staff of the magazine Røde Fane wrote an article on the occasion of the 100th anniversary, which Tjen Folket Media also shared, with an excerpt from the text:
“The most important task for communists in Norway is to reconstitute the Communist Party of Norway as a new type of Party, a militarized Party, based on and guided by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, mainly Maoism, with the universally valid contributions of Chairman Gonzalo.”
They also write that they on the same occasion wrote about the 23 martyrs of the Party, who were killed by the Nazi-fascists during the 2nd World War. They quote a letter written by Asle Helland Grepp addressed to his mother, before he was shot as a prisoner of the Nazis in 1945:
“If I pass away, life will keep going. They shall live on and lead people to an existence where no one is condemned to death.”
Asle Grepp was the son of Kyrre Grepp, leader of the Labor Party from 1918 to 1922—when the party became the Norwegian section of the Communist International, before right-wing opportunists split the party and broke with the Comintern, Tjen Folket Media writes.
Tjen Folket Media goes on to write: “The Labour Party’s national conference in 1923 made this decision after prolonged intrigue by right-wing opportunists in the run-up to the conference. More than 100 conference delegates left the meeting and gathered the following day, November 4, to found the Communist Party of Norway – the Norwegian section of the Communist International.”
Tjen Folket Media have also shared reports of actions that has been sent to them on the occasion of the anniversary.
In Oslo, Norway, graffiti was made on the occasion, one on the campus of Blindern University and one in the working class neighborhood of Groruddalen.
In Tiller, in the south of Trondheim, Norway, posters have been put up on the occasion of the anniversary. The posters read: “NKP 102 years! Long live Maoism! Down with revisionism!” and “Reconstitute the Communist Party of Norway, Red Front”
