THE REVOLUTIONARY WING OF THE U.S. ANTI-REVISIONIST COMMUNIST MOVEMENT STANDS ON AND FIGHTS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE UNIVERSAL PRINCPLES OF MARXISM-LENINISM MAO TSETUNG THOUGHT.
WE STAND ON THE ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF DEMOCRATIC CENTRALISM, WE REJECT BUREAUCRATIC CENTRALISM AND ULTRA- DEMOCRACY, WE RESOLVE CONTRADICTIONS INTERNALLY THROUGH THE METHOD OF CRITICISM, SELF-CRITICISM, THE PARTY BECOMES STRONG BY PURGING ITS RANKS OF OPPORTUNISM.
THE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE OF THE REVOLUTION IS THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIALISM, TOWARDS THE ABOLITION OF CLASSES THE FINAL AIM OF COMMUNISTS.
WE FIGHT FOR THE VIOLENT, ARMED OVERTHROW OF THE BOURGEOISIE, TO SMASH THE BOURGEOIS STATE, IN ORDER TO FIRMLY ESTABLISH AND CONSOLIDATE THE RULE OF THE PROLETARIAT, THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT.
WE STAND THAT THE STRUGGLE AGAINST IMPERIALISM IS A SHAM AND A HUMBUG WITHOUT A RELENTLESS, UNCOMPROMISING STRUGGLE AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OPPORTUNISM AND REVISIONISM, TROTSKYISM, MENSHEVISM AND CONCILIATIONISM. WE BELIEVE THAT THE MAIN DANGER IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST AND WORKERS MOVEMENT IS RIGHT OPPORTUNISM AND REVISIONISM REPRESENTED INTERNATIONALLY BY ALL THE REVISIONIST PARTIES AND LED BY THE CPSU AND IN THE U.S. BY THE “CP”USA AND THE RU REVISIONISTS. RIGHT OPPORTUNISM REPRESENTED BY THE MENSHEVIKS AND CONCILIATORS OF THE SHAM WING OF THE U.S. ANTI-REVISIONIST COMMUNIST MOVEMENT. WE STAND ON THE PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL BOLSHEVISM: PRACTICE MARXISM NOT REVISIONISM; UNITE, DON’T SPLIT; BE OPEN AND ABOVE BOARD; DON’T INTRIGUE AND CONSPIRE.
WE STAND, THAT THE BUILDING OF THE U.S. BOLSHEVIK PARTY IS THE CENTRAL TASK OF ALL COMMUNISTS AND CLASS CONSCIOUS WORKERS, AND HAS BEEN SINCE THE REVISIONIST BETRAYAL OF THE “CP”USA. THE PARTY OF THE PROLETARIAT MUST BE FOUNDED ON THE WORLD VIEW OF THE PROLETARIAT, DIALECTICAL AND HISTORICAL MATERIALISM. THE PARTY MUST BE A UNION OF THE MOST CLASS CONSCIOUS PROLETARIANS WE STAND OH THE STRATEGIC PRINCIPLE OF BOLSHEVIZATION BY CARRYING OUT THE IDEOLOGICAL, POLITICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL TASKS OF PARTY BUILDING IN THIS PERIOD, THE TACTICAL PRINCIPLES ARE UNITING MARXIST-LENINISTS AND WINNING THE ADVANCED TO COMMUNISM, IN ORDER TO BUILD OUR PARTY, THE PARTY OF THE U.S. MULTI-NATIONAL PROLETARIAT, THE U.S. BOLSHEVIK PARTY. WE HOLD THAT THE HAMMERING OUT OF PARTY’S BASIC LINE AND PROGRAM OF ACTION IS THE KEY LINK IN THIS PERIOD.
WE STAND ON THE METHOD OF LENINISM, HARMONY BETWEEN WORD AND DEED, TRAINING THE PARTY, CLASS AND MASSES BY LEARNING THROUGH OUR OWN MISTAKES. WITHOUT CRITICISM, SELF-CRITICISM, THERE IS NO BOLSHEVISM. WE FIGHT HEGEMONISM OF ALL TYPES – SMALL CIRCLE SPIRIT AND BIG ORGANIZATION HEGEMONISM, BY IMBUING THE MASSES WITH THE PARTY SPIRIT. WE FIGHT SELF-COMPLACENT OPTIMISM AND PESSIMISM THROUGH PROLETARIAN REVOLUTIONARY OPTIMISM. WE UPHOLD THE STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES FOR REVOLUTION, THE MASSES MAKE REVOLUTION, THE PARTY MAKES THEM CONSCIOUS.
REVOLUTION INDEED IS THE MAIN TREND IN THE WORLD TODAY. THE THIRD WORLD, ASIA, AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA IS THE MAIN FORCE, THE STORMCENTER OF REVOLUTION. WE STAND WITH THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT AND WILL RENDER DIRECT AND RESOLUTE SUPPORT TO THE LIBERATION MOVEMENTS OF THE OPPRESSED PEOPLES AND NATIONS AGAINST IMPERIALISM MOST ESPECIALLY U.S. IMPERIALISM AND SOVIET SOCIAL-IMPERIALISM. WE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT OF NATIONS TO SELF DETERMINATION UP TO AND INCLUDING POLITICAL SECESSION.
WE FIGHT FOR THE VOLUNTARY UNION OF THE PROLETARIAT OF THE OPPRESSED NATIONS WITH THE OPPRESSOR NATIONS. ”THE WORKINGMEN HAVE NO COUNTRY.” THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT IS LEADING THE MASSES OUT OF POVERTY, HUMILIATION AND OPPRESSION IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST IMPERIALISM, COLONIALISM, NEO-COLONIALISM AND SUPERPOWER HEGEMONISM. NO NATION CAN BE FREE WHILE IT OPPRESSES ANOTHER NATION.
WE STAND WITH THE PEACE LOVING PEOPLES OF THE WORLD IN PREPARING AGAINST THE DANGER OF A THIRD IMPERIALIST WORLD WAR INSTIGATED THE TWO SUPERPOWERS WITH THE MAIN SOURCE BEING THE SOVIET UNION. EITHER WAR WILL GIVE RISE TO REVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION WILL PREVENT WAR. REVOLUTIONARY WAR IS THE ONLY ROAD TO PEACE. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF COMMUNISTS IN THE IMPERIALIST COUNTRIES IS TO TURN AN IMPERIALIST WAR INTO A CIVIL WAR.
WE STAND WITH THE ADVANCED DETACHMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA AND THE PARTY OF LABOR OF ALBANIA AND WE AS PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROLEARIAT TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN LEARNING FROM THE LEADING REVOLUTIONARY EXAMPLES OF CHINA, ALBANIA, KOREA, LAOS, CAMBODIA, VIETNAM AND ROMANIA. WE COMMIT OUR LIVES TO THE FIGHT AND FULFILLMENT OF THESE PRINCIPLES, WHICH WE OPENLY PROPAGATE AND WILL NEVER BE COMPROMISED.
WE STAND ON THE INTERNATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF MARXISM-LENINISM MAO TSETUNG THOUGHT – WORKERS AND OPPRESSED PEOPLES OF THE WORLD UNITE!
BOLSHEVISM ON THE RISE!
FORWARD TO THE FIRST PARTY CONGRESS!
