In the difficult and prolonged revolution for new democracy in China, the thought of Mao Tse- tung was developing. Comrade Mao fused the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution. He discovered and deepened the character of democratic-national revolution, or new democracy, which rules in semi-feudal and semi-colonial societies. The road of these revolutions of "surrounding the cities from the countryside," the laws of the People's War, and the three true magic instruments of the revolution: the Communist Party, the Armed Struggle, and the United Front. These contributions would open a wide and fortunate revolutionary road to the people of China, and mark the brilliant red line of the glorious Chinese Communist Party, sweep away the deviations of the left and right, and convert Mao Tse-tung into the leader and great conductor of the Chinese revolution. In the midst of this creative practice, Mao made his masterful contributions to dialectical materialism, and to the Marxist conception of art and literature, which have been converted since then into treasures of Marxism-Leninism.With the triumph of the Chinese democratic-national revolution, and synthesizing the experience of 28 years of unflagging struggle, Mao saw the thesis of the democratic dictatorship of the people, directed by the proletariat, represented by the Communist Party, and based upon the worker-peasant alliance, as the form the dictatorship of the proletariat should take, and the instrument to develop socialist society. Developing the analysis of socialist society, and returning to Marx and Lenin, developing their thesis, he planned the class struggle in a socialist society, and the way to carry it out. The long duration of this transitional period, in which the struggle between capitalism and socialism was developed. As part of this, the struggle against the peaceful reestablishment of capitalism, and the ways to combat it, as well as the thesis to construct socialism in all fields, was established. In addition, the class struggle (always present) needed to be the first priority, at every moment, in all policies, as the way and means to guarantee the completion of the revolution, and never be detained half way along the road.
Combating imperialism and the reactionaries, Mao established the Leninist thesis that imperialism and all reactionaries are paper tigers, teaching us to scorn them strategically, because history has condemned them to scorn, and at the same time considering them with prudence because their weakness and desperation make them capable of the greatest cruelty and wickedness. The nature of imperialism does not change, nor can it change since its essence is exploitation and war in order to sustain its oppression of the people. US imperialism is the worst and most bloodthirsty enemy of the people of the world, and against this all people form an United Front now.
Fighting unbendingly along with the people oppressed by imperialism. And synthesizing the experiences of the movements of national liberation, Mao Tse-tung has conceptualized the Marxist-Leninist thesis that "the wind of the East predominates over the wind of the West," meaning that the strength of the revolutionary camp is greater than that of the reactionary camp, and that each day it will be more so, because the new have never been destroyed by the old, and the new are represented by socialism and the revolutionary forces, while the old are imperialism and all reactionaries. And meanwhile the imperialists and all the reactionaries are subject to the law, of causing disturbances and fail and causing disturbances over again until its end.
Meanwhile, the law of the people is to fight and fail, and fight again until the triumph at the end. The People's War is unbeatable, and it continues inevitably to the triumph of the oppressed peoples, and to the destruction of imperialism, and what's more, the People's War follows a long and winding road, and on this road it encounters triumph and failure. In the end, the people will triumph.
In the struggle to unmask and crush contemporary revisionism, Mao, like Lenin in his time, has ideologically destroyed Khrushchevist revisionism entrenched in the leadership of the Soviet Communist Party, demonstrating the betrayal and abandonment in which the Khrushchevists, with and without Khrushchev, have made from the principles of Marxism-Leninism. Mao unmasked their collusion with US imperialism for the repartition of the world. He has analyzed the internal and external causes of Khrushchevism, and taught us how to combat it, and how, through the struggle against this revisionism, Marxism will be strengthened ideologically, the Communist Parties will be more firm, and the revolutionary struggle will have greater ideological and political strength and energy. Like its predecessors, Khrushchevist revisionism is condemned to destruction, and Marxism-Leninism will greatly develop.
Thus, being born from the same womb of the contemporary, revolutionary struggle, the thought of Mao Tse-tung is the objective expression of the laws of the new democratic revolution, of the construction of the socialist society, of the analysis of the nature and essence of imperialism and the reactionaries, of the development and triumph of the struggles for national liberation, and the unmasking of the causes and essence of contemporary revisionists. Through all of this meanwhile, the thought of Mao dwelt in the heart of the people, and armed the minds of all the revolutionaries. The imperialists, especially the Yankee imperialists, the reactionaries, and the Khrushchevist revisionists, frightened, hated and attacked with insane violence, the living Marxism of our time. But this hatred is confirmation of its justice. And the warmth with which the heart of the people receives it is proof of its revolutionary authenticity.
For all that is said, and the more that the Khrushchevist traitors, their puppets, and their Yankee allies may balk and shout, the thought of Mao Tse-tung is Marxism-Leninism inherited, and is developed in a genial, creative manner, in the period in which imperialism rushes toward its total collapse, and socialism advances toward victory in the entire world. It is the summit of Marxism-Leninism in our time.
