Yugoslav Revisionism and the Role of the CPSU and CPC Yugoslav Revisionism and the Role of the CPSU and CPC “... Mankind is shorter by a head, and the greatest head of our time at that, .... Local lights and lesser minds, if not the humbugs, will now have a free hand… Well, we must see it through. What else are we here for? “And we are not near losing courage yet” F. Engels to Sorge on the death of Karl Marx, 15th March, 1883. FOREWORD It is over one hundred and thirty years since Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto uttered the stirring words: ‘Workers of the World Unite’. This call has never used to inspire the Communists of the world and these words expressed their profound conviction. In the same (Communist Manifesto) it was said that ‘the working class have no country’ that ‘national difference and antagonism between people are daily and more vanishing’ and that ‘supremacy of the proletariat will cause them to vanish still faster.’ In reality, the world working class and the labouring people are witnessing the contrary facts. The war between Kampuchea and Vietnam, the border clashes between China and Vietnam and between China and the Soviet Union, the quarrel between Yugoslavia and Albania on the question of Albanian minority in Yugoslavia, the quarrel between Albania and China, the quarrel between Bulgaria and Yugoslavia over Macedonia, the quarrel between China and outer Mongolia etc., are being witnessed by the world people. International revisionism has now regained for international capital almost entire former socialist camp nations. The degeneration of the socialist Soviet Union into a new variant of capitalist society, the collapse of international communist movement into revisionism, the successful vulgarization and distortion of Marxism-Leninism with left phrase mongering on the one hand in the name of ‘creative Marxism’ on the other the refined forms of class collaboration and opportunism renouncing and denouncing the Marxist-Leninist theory of ‘two camps’ in the epoch of imperialism and proletarian revolution, have raised extremely complex theoretical, programmatic and organizational problems. Revisionism is the perversion of Marxism-Leninism to suit the need of the exploiting classes, to the elimination of which Marxism-Leninism is directed. Revisionism emerged with the emergence of Marxism. Thus, it is a long history. Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin fought revisionism of their times. The communist revolutionaries, must ask themselves why such ugly and tragic things like Vietnam-Kampuchean war and other things as shown above, are happening today? Refusal to be critical and self-critical concerning all these burning and tragic problems in the international communist movements exposes the opportunist bankruptcy of the communists. The Communist Information Service will deal with modern revisionism and its origin, especially since the death 1 of Joseph Stalin, since when the distorted interpretation of the world events and their causes were being put forward by the modern revisionists in the name of fighting modern revisionism. It is our task, the task of the Communist Information Service, to prepare the forces and to train the proletariat in the interim period. In order that the great aim of destroying capitalist system is achieved, the army of the proletariat must be formed its commanders chosen, its armoury stocked and its fighters trained for battle. Such training requires that the Commanders and army should have a clear understanding of the process by which the great Communist Parties came to be destroyed as revolutionary parties of the working class by modern revisionism. The Communist Information Service will be directed towards all militant forces who recognize the primacy of Marxist-Leninist theory and practice in the unfolding of revolutionary struggle. The Communist Information Service, in the year of Stalin (December 21st 1978 to December 21st 1979) intends to publish a series of booklets. The present booklet Yugoslav revisionism and the role of the CPSU and CPC, is the first one of the series as the revised attitude towards Yugoslav revisionism by the international communist movement was the beginning of modern revisionism on international scale. This booklet has established with documents and commentaries that since the death of Stalin, both the Communist Parties of China and Soviet Union, as the accepted and recognized leaders of the international communist movement, conspired together, against Marxism-Leninism and Stalin _ the symbol of proletarian internationalism, and thus rehabilitated Yugoslav revisionism in the international communist movement. All the booklets of the Origins of Modern Revisionism series will be well documented, so that the readers may arrive at the correct conclusion themselves. The Communist Information Service appeals to all interested persons, circles, groups and others to help the publications by suggestions, documents and relevant facts. It hopes that the readers will appreciate its endeavour and freely participate to enrich the series. Stalin’s 99th birth day 21st December, 1978 Moni Guha Editor-in-chief The Communist Information Service [The words in the third bracket within the quotation are ours all through] Looking Retrospectively Thirty years ago, in 1948, the Communist Inform-bureau (Cominform), under the leadership of Stalin had exposed Titoite Yugoslavia for its bourgeois nationalism and hostility to socialist camp. All the Communist Parties of the world including the Communist Party of China supported the Cominform 1948 resolution and measures. 2 Twenty-three years ago, seven years after 1948, that is, in 1955, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, headed by Khrushchev, in consultation and agreement with the Communist Party of China, had made rapprochement with Titoite Yugoslavia and signed a joint declaration, known as ‘Belgrade declaration’. The ‘declaration’ renounced and denounced the Cominform resolutions of June 1948 and November 1949 as well as Stalin. It re-declared Yugoslavia as socialist country and Yugoslav Party as Marxist- Leninist Party and rehabilitated Yugoslav or modern revisionism as Marxism-Leninism in the international communist movement. That was the beginning of the ascendancy of the bourgeois nationalism replacing proletarian internationalism in the international communist movement. Twenty-two years ago, in 1956, under the initiative and leadership of the C P S U and C P C, the Cominform was dissolved and the November 1949 resolution was withdrawn declaring it as ‘wrong’. Two years after, in 1958, both the Soviet Union and China again denounced Titoite Yugoslavia and Yugoslav Party as bourgeois nationalist and modern revisionist and declared the June 1948 Cominform resolution on Yugoslavia as ‘‘basically correct’’. Eighteen years ago, in 1960, the statement made by 81 Communist Parties, unanimously branded Yugoslav revisionists as traitors to Marxism-Leninism and agent and spy of imperialism and thus virtually reverted to the position of November 1949 Cominform resolution which the CPSU and CPC expunged from the records of the Cominform resolution declaring it as ‘wrong’ in June 1956. Fifteen years ago, in 1963, when, Khrushchev again went to Yugoslavia for the second round of rapprochement with the Titoite revisionism, violating the 81 Communist Parties’ statement of 1960, the Communist Party of China, in September 1963, in an open letter to the central committee of the CPSU condemned Khrushchev in unmistakable terms for currying favour with US imperialism through its agent ‘Tito-Clique’ the ‘arch-enemy of socialism.’ Fifteen years after Khrushchev's visit to Titoite Yugoslavia and denunciation by the CPC how tragic it was that Tito could take a jubilant and victorious trip both to Moscow and Peking in 1977 and be welcomed in both capitals as an ‘elder statesman of the world communist movements’! Twenty years ago, in 1958, the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in its second session, endorsed the decision of the Party’s Central Committee, of not sending a fraternal delegation to the Seventh Congress of the Yugoslav Party, as the party was not a Marxist-Leninist Party. The second session in its resolution said “It is the unanimous opinion of the Congress that a resolute struggle must be waged against modern revisionism [Titoite revisionism]* which has emerged in the international communist movement. It is the sacred duty of our party towards the international working class to work together with the fraternal parties for the complete defeat of modern revisionism politically and theoretically and for safeguarding of Marxism-Leninism and the unity of the international communist movement on the basis of Marxist- Leninist ideology”. (Resolution adopted on May 23, 1958. Quoted from ‘In refutation of modern Revisionism’ published by the Foreign Languages Press, Peking, 1958). 3 The same Communist Party of China headed by Hua-Kuo-Feng and Teng Siao-ping, has sent the following message of greetings to the eleventh Congress of the Yugoslav Party on June, 1978: “On behalf of all members of the C P C and the Chinese people, the CPC’s CC sends its warmest greetings to the 11th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, and through it, to all members of the league and Yugoslav people. ‘‘The LCY, headed by comrade Tito, outstanding leader of nationalities of Yugoslavia HAS UNIVERSAL TRUTH OF MARXISM-LENINISM TO THE CONCRETE PRACTICE OF YUGOSLAVIA unswervingly leading the people of the whole country IN A PERSISTENT REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE OVER DECADES, IT HAS

  • PERSPECTIVES on TERRORISM Volume 13, Issue 6
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 13, Issue 6 Political Violence from the Extreme Right in Contemporary Portugal by Riccardo Marchi and Raquel da Silva Abstract In Portugal, extreme right political violence can be found in two different periods: in the period of transition from authoritarianism to democracy (between 25 April 1974 and the mid-1980s) and from the second half of the 1980s to the present. In the first period, militants who had been radicalised by the Colonial War (1961-1974), the anti-imperialist mobilisation of the extreme left student movement in the academic crises of the 1960s, but also by the actions of the revolutionary leadership of the transition process after the April Revolution. Militants were active in politically violent organisations aimed at stopping the advance of Communism in Portugal. Among these organisations, the ELP (Exército de Libertação de Portugal / Portugal’s Liberation Army) gained salience and will be explored in-depth in this chapter. The second period was characterised by a new extreme right showcasing an ethno-nationalist political identity and discourse, which fused both the ultra-nationalism of the old extreme right and the neo-Nazi racism of the skinhead subculture. Initially, the MAN (Movimento de Acção Nacional / National Action Movement) was key in uniting the nationalist militants and the skinheads. After its dismantling by the authorities, it was replaced by the PHS (Portugal Hammerskins). The dynamics of both organisations is explored in detail throughout this chapter. For this, the research uses a qualitative methodology based on interviews carried out with extreme right militants, on documentation produced by the different movements and on archive material produced by the police and court investigations.

    The Failure of the Chinese Communist Party 1921-27 Arlene Basin This Work is Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research of McGill University in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for an M.A. Degree in Political Science. Montreal March, 1973 @) Arlene Basin 1973 Arlene Basin ABSTRACT Political Science M.A. This paper deals with the failure of the Chinese Communist Party to attain a ruling leadership and effectively handle the social, economic and political problems facing China in the 1921-27 period. By examining both the background of the CCP members and their relationship with the Comintern and Moscow, the paper tries to explain the reasons behind some of the tac tics taken by the CCP during this period; emphasis being put on the disastrous KMT/ CCP alliance of 1923. The paper goes on to study the Party's dealings with the proletariat and peasantry, and its dilemma over the problems encountered in being a multi-class party. The conclusion brings together the problems encountered in this period and assesses the reasons for its near eradication in 1927.

    Chapter 4 Communist Movement after 1990 Parliamentary System and Various Communist Parties. Their Ideologies and Strategies, Major Issues, Forms of Protests, Support Base/Social Base 1. The United Left Front and the UNPM The On 15 January 1990, seven Communist parties formed the United Left Front. The seven parties were “NCP (Marxist), NCP (Manandhar), NCP (Verma), NCP (Tulsilal), Majdoor Kisan Sangathan Bhela Samiti (Rohit faction),1NCP (Chautho Mahadhiwayshun (Fourth Congress (Nirmal Lama)), and NCP (ML)” (Samyukta Bam Morcha 7). It declared its “moral support to the Nepali Congress’s movement against the Panchayat system”. It aimed at “bringing the Congress to its fold … and if not, to coordinate its activities with them” (6). However, the Front was a loose organisation, where “the participating parties or groups, with the permission of the Front, could either stay or leave the Front” (7). Organised under “Sahana Pradhan as President, and Tulsilal Amatya, Honorary President” the Front formed a “seven- member Secretariat” (3). The “Jana Andolan”, which the Front decided to lead was open to “the peasants, the majdoor [working class], the youths, students, women, the national bourgeoisie and national traders” (2). It listed 18 goals’ struggle. Of them, majority were related to the setting up of a democratic polity, and the political context in which they were framed explained their presence in the list. However, considering the tenor of Communist movement in Nepal, goal 17 stood out: it was softly couched. And the Front had this to say, “17. Review the relation with India in the context of Nepal’s traditional friendly relation …” (Samyukta Bam Morcha 6).

CLASH OF IDEOLOGY AND NATIONAL INTEREST Thesis Approved: l Thesis Adviser 558756 ii PREFACE Ideology has been a dominating influence in twentieth century poli- tics. Crucial struggles have been waged to win men's minds for fascism, democracy, and communism. It is a widely held opinion that the policy of a state is formulated in response to the demands of a particular ide- ology. This contemporary ideological emphasis represents a significant change of emphasis in the historic view of politics. However, the power drives and goals of nations in pursuit of national self-interest cannot be manipulated so easily by diaphanous ideals. Which is predominate-- power or ideals? This dilemma was the motivation for a study of the clash of ideology and national interest in contemporary nations. The particular case in point was the Sino-Soviet dispute, but this paradox represents, I think, a wide-spread dilemma in many nations. I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. C. A. L. Rich for first illuminating this paradox in the behavior of men and nations, and for patiently and wisely guiding development of this endeavor.

  • Communist-Front Organizations Under the Internal Security
    CONGRESS AND THE COMMUNIST MONOLITH: COMMUNIST-FRONT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER THE INTERNAL SECURITY ACT Two recent opinions by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born v. SACB 1 and Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade v. SACB 2 - have relaxed the definitional standards of the Internal Security Act 3 as applied to Communist-front organi- zations, making it easier to bring organizations within the control provisions of the statute and raising serious questions of the act's validity tinder the first amendment. In both cases the Court of Appeals affirmed findings of the Sub- versive Activities Control Board that the two organizations were Communist fronts and were therefore required to register under the act. This registration will result in extensive government control over both the organizations and their members, including submission of membership and financial information, limitation on use of the mails, and effective denial of security clearance to the organization's members.4 The Internal Security Act defines a Communist-front organization as any organization in the United States . which (A) is substantially directed, dominated, or controlled by a Communist-action organization,6 and (B) is primarily operated for the purpose of giving aid and support to a Communist-action organization, a Communist foreign government, or the world Communist movement referred to in section 2 of this title.0 1. 331 F.2d 53 (D.C. Cir. 1963), cert. granted, 377 U.S. 915 (1964). The American Committee was organized in 1932 or 1933, and has devoted its major efforts to contesting naturalization and deportation proceedings.
