Moni Guha

Moni Guha (; 29 September 1914, Madaripur – 7 April 2009, Kolkata

He sharply criticized the new line adopted at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and published a pamphlet with his views (which he handed out to delegates at the 1958 congress of the Communist Party of India).

In 1978 Guha split with the UCCRI(ML) and left the underground. In the same year he took part in the founding of the India-Albania Friendship Association.

Political views Guha denounced the post-1956 line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as 'revisionist'. He argued that it had its roots in bourgeois nationalism and could be traced to Titoism. After 1969, Guha was a proponent of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought and New Democratic Revolution. After breaking with UCCRI(ML) in 1978, Guha formulated a position that India had become a capitalist country and was thus ripe for socialist revolution. He also came to characterise the Chinese Communist Party and its Three Worlds Theory as 'revisionist'. His viewpoints were elaborated in his work Revisionism against Revisionism.
