Questions from a comrade to Wolfgang Eggers
Dear comrade Wolfgang Eggers, I would also like to ask you about the activities of the Coordinating Committee in the KPD/ML. I have read (although far from completely) some documents devoted to this topic in the party documents presented on our website. On the Internet I have found an archive of some of the circulars of KoKo on the Maoist website Mao Project.
https://www.mao-projekt.de/BRD/ORG/GRM2/Koko_Rundbriefe.shtml (Maybe these files could be added to the party documents library? Or are there files there that shouldn't be published?)
Since I don't understand German at all (except for a few words), I only skimmed through these pages.
The Party HQ were then in Lüneburg? Why? Then it moved to West Berlin?
Did you wrest the printing presses from the hands of Koch's ZK?
How were the circulars sent out? (I come from a generation that had never seen a world without the Internet and I cannot imagine how correspondence was carried out then, especially such secret correspondence).
Whose pseudonym was R. P.?
How many people made up the Party then?
What happened to comrades in the DDR in that time? Were they in touch with the Party then?
Were there any new members joining the party during this period? (1985-1990s)
Was there correspondence with comrades from Albania? What was their attitude to the situation in the KPD? Did you receive replies to your letters? Were you in Albania? Perhaps the revisionism of Ramiz Alia paralyzed Albania's foreign relations at that time? Was there a so-called "economic collapse" in Albania in the period from 1985-1990? As far as I saw in documentary films (Western, even in 1990), there was no shortage in Albania. Neo-revisionist Hardial Brains came to Albania in 1986. Was a KPD delegation invited?
How were you elected to the ZK under Comrade Ernst Aust?
How were the Party songs (published on YouTube) made?
Of course, I do not insist on an answer to all the questions. Please answer the questions at any time convenient for you, these are NOT questions of primary importance, rather historical questions.
Answers of Comrade Wolfgang Eggers
Dear Comrade!
First of all, I would like to thank you very much for your numerous questions. Sorry that it took me a few weeks to answer your questions. As you will have noticed, the time needed to answer your questions has caused a standstill in the updating of our central organ "World Revolution". Everything has its causes and consequences.
As for your questions about the Coordination Committee (CoCo), I have put together some documents for you. They were published at the same time as my answers to you from the Comintern (SH) - in English translation. You can now find them on the main page of the central organ under the title: "1985-1986- KPD/ML shortly before and after the death of Ernst Aust".
Of course, the KoKo documents are much more comprehensive. So I could only give you a small insight and ask for your understanding in this matter.
Since the KPD/ML is an illegal Bolshevik party, all internal party documents are kept in a secret place in the party archive and are therefore inaccessible to the public. To a certain extent, this also applies to most party members. For example, party members who were not present at the party conference do not know how many and which comrades were elected to the Central Committee. That is the way it should be, because this is part of the democratic centralism of an illegal Bolshevik Party.
