INTERNATIONAL: IMPERIALIST COUNTRIES AND BACKWARD COUNTRIES

On September 1996, a United Nations (U.N.) Report tried to offer explanations and solutions to the ongoing economic-political contradictions in the world today. It claimed that the root of the problem was the polarization of the world into exploiters and exploited. This was directly alarming the nations by saying that according to their statistical studies, this contradiction was deepening even more.

More than 60 years ago, a teacher of Communism launched onto the world the thesis on capitalist accumulation, explaining accurately and in detail, how this system inevitably advances to the polarization between the oppressors and the oppressed.

Considering the time lapse between them, the two documents predict that this principal contradiction will develop into three secondary contradictions:

First will be the contradiction between the imperialist countries. The same ones of the Second World War and the so-called Cold War are not that far in the past. A prime example is the current European Union, at present just economical, but with perspectives of becoming a political and military union. Another example of this type of union is that made by the U.S. and Canada [TNF: NAFTA. Mexico, an oppressed country, is also part of this treaty but only as a market or a brown field used for competition between imperialist countries] Such alliances are not the result of comrade relations or friendship among nations, but rather, are a response to economic friction among them.

Facing this situation there are many possibilities, and these contradictions are ultimately resolved by way of a world conflagration. The precedents for this are already mounting. For example, the U.S. pressuring Asian countries to slow down their production, especially selective production, under the guise of such things as intellectual property rights. [TNF: Here we may add other examples such as the NATO expansion.]

Second, will be the contradiction between backward countries, and imperialist countries. The imperialist countries in their endeavor to win markets and exploit cheap labor and raw materials, support their entrepreneurial consortiums to penetrate the backward countries . Thus, they ransack the natural resources and enslave the population as they seek profits. This penetration in the backward countries generates an unfair and relentless struggle against the national bourgeoisie, which eventually collapses. As a result, nationalism emerges in these countries, in which the social classes unite in the so-called "wars of national liberation."

Third, the contradictions between the exploiters and the exploited of each nation. In the backward countries the polarization is also shown between the exploiters and the exploited of each nation. First, they clash in the economic arena. It is a hard struggle for living wages and other rightful demands. Then, they confront each other in a military struggle for political power, which is the People's War.

Although the U.N.'s report does not show any solutions to these contradictions however, pointing them out in its idealistic approach tells us that the solution is "greater cooperation among nations" and "general solidarity." That is why in the light of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought, we realize that there are no more solutions left than that of resolving the above-mentioned contradictions through the People's War, by which we will ultimately reach our cherished goal: a true Communist society.

WITHOUT STATE POWER, ALL IS ILLUSION!

Centuries pass, idols fall,	Without State Power, All is illusion
an old oppressive order collapses	storm the heavens with gunfire
and in the mountain's peak	The Communist Party gives new life
lightning splits the night with mighty strike	Doubts and fears fade like smoke
The seas surge, the storm rises	We have the strenght
and in the great unrest	the future is ours
the sun	Communism is the goal
rises	and it will be real!
