MODERN REVISIONISM IN THE SERVICE OF AMERICAN IMPERIALISM
Notes (These notes were used by the author in the article «Kennedy’s new demagogy and the old plan», published in the newspaper Zeri i popullit, June 23, 1963)
Modern revisionism, headed by the renegades from Marxism-Leninism, Khrushchev and Tito, has placed itself in the service of the general strategy of American imperialism.
Nothing has changed in the general strategy of imperialism, with American imperialism at the head.
Its main aims:
- to insist on preparations for war in order to establish the hegemony of capial in the world, to destroy the camp of socialism. to enslave the peoples by crushing the proletarian and national revolutions.
Decisions by both sides:
- to continue arming themselves and to continue the imperialist-revisionist ideological diversion,
- the arming of the capitalists,
- the arming of the revisionists,
- the arming of the «neutrals» (the «non-aligned»).
The aim of the Americans:
- to retain and increase their armaments, to retain their monopoly of atomic weapons, to keep their allies under control:
- to compel the revisionist Khrushchev to stop any further arming of the Soviet Union and its allies, to place them under American control or to neutralize them, or the. two of them together to have the atomic monopoly in the end;
- to vie with Khrushchev in the supply of arms to the so-called neutral countries and tie them to their chariot so as to have them always subordinated, to crush the revolution in these countries, to have them as allies in local wars, to have them as a...
- To all of them the main enemies are Marxism-Leninism, socialism, the dictatorship of the proletariat. Therefore, everything is organized and directed against these enemies.
- Atomic blackmail and the psychosis of terror are made universal by the imperialists and the revisionists. The blackmail and threats of the imperialist and revisionist blusterers are intended to intimidate the weak and make them surrender to them, to...
- The atomic moratorium in connection with the prohibition of tests and the signing of an agreement on this issue between the Soviet Union, the United States of America and Britain has no connection with general disarmament, but is connected with the ...
- This bluff must be exposed.

- The revisionist bloc, its enslaving economic policy. Credits with enslaving political terms attached, securing markets, spheres of influence, and military bases, the aim to suppress revolutions, to bring about the destruction and degeneration of the...
- The common points and the contradictions of this strategy.
- The general political-ideological line of the modern revisionists suits imperialism and serves its main strategy.
- Anti-Leninist peaceful coexistence - conciliation with the bourgeois ideology, with imperialism, with Christianity, with religion in general. Ending the polemic and the so-called cold war, that is, the class struggle, eliminating revolutions. Concil...
- The question of war and peace, the question of disarmament and their bluffs in order to prepare for war against communism.
- The destruction of the socialist camp, the main aim of imperialism (according to statements by Truman, Churchill, Eisenhower, Kennedy).
- Tito’s activity in words and deeds.
- Khrushchev’s splitting activity in words and practical actions.
- The European Common Market, its aims and difficulties.
- The Council of Mutual Economic Aid (Comecon), the aims of Khrushchev and the revisionists, their difficulties. (These two organizations have the same aim and face the same difficulties.)
- The modem revisionists are proceeding toward the liquidation of the socialist camp, toward independent. states, as imperialism and the capitalist development want.
- The Khrushchev group is moving toward establishing the same ideological and political, economic and military relations as American imperialism has with its satellites.
- Capitalist relations of the great power.
- The obstacles for both sides: Marxism-Leninism, the revolution and the freedom-loving peoples of the world.
- The struggle against Albania.
- The struggle against China.
- The struggle against the other countries and Marxist-Leninist parties.
- The political. ideological. and economic struggle, and the preparations for general war with arms, sabotage and plots.
General preparations for this by the imperialists and the modern revisionists:
a) denigration of the Marxist-Leninist theory and its open distortion;
b) the ideological, political degeneration of the communist parties, their organizational degeneration and liquidation:
c) the degeneration of the socialist structure of the economy and its gradual transformation into a capitalist economy;
d) the degeneration of the army into an aggressive, predatory, megalomaniacal, anti-popular, anti-socialist army:
e) the strengthening of the bureaucracy, the worker aristocracy and the kulaks, the degeneration of intellectuals by all means and in all fields of life.
With his speech, Kennedy gave Khrushchev and the other traitors his complete approval and help.
The Main Issues From Kennedy’s Speech. Of June 10
His main idea is demagogy about peace, «peace for all» but «Pax Americana» imposed with American weapons, and not the peace of the grave.. (Here he means that the dogmatists allegedly want this kind of peace - the Kennedy variant of the issue plus the...
All the demagogy of this imperialist about peace is indistinguishable from Khrushchev’s demagogy about peace.
The other idea which supports this demagogy about peace is the question that now their atomic weapons neutralize the opponents and ensure peace. That is, according to Kennedy and Khrushchev, who are in agreement, the United States of America and the S...
Another demagogic idea which Kennedy and Khrushchev have in common is the issue that «there will be a large surplus of funds, and these we shall use for construction, for the improvement of life», etc., that is, to keep the peoples under their dominat...
While putting the problem of peace. on the same demagogic course as Khrushchev, Kennedy also defines the objective and subjective obstacles on both sides, which must be eliminated and how to eliminate them.
Kennedy openly implies that there are ,madmen. in the United States of America (allegedly Khrushchev is right), «but they must and will reflect, must be restrained, and we shall restrain them» (he placates the fears of Khrushchev, the modern revisioni...
Exposure of the revisionist activity in Europe is becoming an urgent need.

ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION IN THE LIGHT OF CURRENT EVENTS
The positions of American imperialism are being weakened. The Americans are suffering political-military defeats everywhere and, in the first place, in South Vietnam.
Their bombardment of the DR of Vietnam did not bring them any political or military advantage. On the contrary, they suffered utter fiasco. Their blackmail was to no avail. They were unable to bring Vietnam to its knees or to help the Soviet revisioni...
The main difficulty for the Americans at present is the war in South Vietnam. There they have completely lost face, let alone their mask which was torn from them long ago. No longer can they hide behind the Vietnamese puppets, since in practice they n...
They have been reduced to mere mercenaries, so much so that even the United States of America itself no longer puts any trust in them, no longer counts on them, and keeps changing them every week. The puppet army does not exist as an army, or even as ...
American imperialism, its allies and the modern revisionists are experiencing moments of great anxiety. Any diplomatic activity has been toned down, the war in Vietnam and the defeats of the Americans have stifled them. All their attempts, individual ...
In this situation of failures for them, the modern revisionists, headed by the Soviet revisionists, have suffered a colossal defeat, especially in regard to their «peacefull coexistence», the world without arms etc., friendship with «the peace-loving ...
They have helped and are helping the United States of America with all their might, and time and again Johnson thanks them, smiles at them, rounds them up and makes proposals to them about the extension of the collaboration between them, and never «ge...

WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE STRUGGLE OF THE AFRO-ASIAN PEOPLES AGAINST IMPERIALISM
Notes (These notes were used for the article The 2nd Afro-Asian ,Conference - a Heavy Blow Against Imperialism and Its Collaborators (Zeri i popullit, June 19, 1965))
The expansionist aims of the American imperialists and the new Soviet revisionist imperialists, who disguise themselves under a phoney communist cloak. for spheres of influence and exploitation are combined and intermingled in Asia and Africa.
Their true aim of economic and political exploitation is manifested in different aspects. The United States of America attacks with fire and dollars, while the Soviet revisionists with cunning, rubles, lies and demagogy.
The aim common to both of them is to work against and stamp out revolutions, to oppress the peoples, to distort the idea of socialism and to combat the genuine revolutionary forces of these continents.
We must develop these theses:
- Who interferes in the internal affairs of the peoples.
- What do we and the imperialist-revisionists mean by freedom, independence and sovereignty.
- What is meant with our alleged isolation which the imperialists and revisionists claim exists and what do we mean with the struggle for the isolation of our enemies.
We must develop these theses, linking them with the example of our struggle and with the direction that the struggle of the peoples of Asia and Africa should take, especially after the forthcoming meeting in Algiers.
These theses should have as their objective our struggle to prevent the participation of the Soviet revisionists in the Algiers meeting, and to arouse awareness of the need for resistance by the Afro-Asian states which are wavering and being subjected...

Addition to the speech of our delegation at UNO
I read the speech which the head of our delegation will deliver at this year’s session of the General Assembly of UNO. I instructed that the following piece should be added to this speech:

He who has right on his side is the strongest, and right is on our side. In words, in demagogy, neither the imperialists nor their partners deny us this right, but in practice they do everything possible to strangle us.

Opinions and theses
- Today the Soviet revisionists are acting through Marshal Yakubovsky as the Americans did through Dulles in his time.
- Dulles at least was the Secretary of the American State Department and hid his aggressive military plans in his diplomat’s briefcase, while Yakubovsky has displayed them on his cap, his epaulettes and the decorations which cover his chest. This comm...
It is characteristic especially in recent years and, in particular, before and after the occupation of Czechoslovakia, that the military men have been playing a decisive role in Soviet foreign policy, and they cannot act with methods other than milita...
Yakubovsky is precisely the roving military envoy of the Soviets who goes from Poland to Hungary, from Hungary to Bulgaria, from Bulgaria to Czechoslovakia, from Czechoslovakia to Rumania and back again, who inspects the Soviet occupation troops, orga...
For a long time the Soviet leaders have been openly and scandalously prowling around Rumania like wild beasts. The Soviet pressure is now undisguised. «Rumania must be occupied like Czechoslovakia» - this is the aim of the Soviet revisionist gangsters...
To justify the occupation of Rumania, the Soviet revisionists cannot build up the legend they concocted about Czechoslovakia, alleging that it was threatened by the FR of Germany and by internal reaction. The former «excused» does not exist because Ru...
The Soviet revisionists want to occupy Rumania, but not by the means they used in Czechoslovakia. They want this to be done with the approval of the Rumanians, within the «orderly framework» of the Warsaw Treaty. They have occupied Bulgaria militarily...
At the same time the Soviet revisionists are playing the card of the Warsaw Treaty there, too. Their purpose in insisting on conducting military manoeuvres on Rumanian territory is obvious. They want to find an excuse to «burst through» Rumanian borde...
But the fact is that they are encountering resistance from the Rumanians. We shall see to what extent they will resist the grip which is trying to close on them.
The international circumstances are not favourable to the Soviet revisionists for the execution of the «Rumanian plan», especially since the occupation of Czechoslovakia, therefore they have set themselves the task of pressing Rumania to affirm that i...
To this end the bogey-man Yakubovsky is going back and forth to Bucharest, accompanied by Kuznetsov, allegedly the political representative of the czars of the Kremlin. This is the chessboard on which the pieces are being moved.
Recently the Soviets contrived the absurd military exercises in Berlin allegedly to prevent the visit of the president of the FR of Germany to the western sector of Berlin. They attempted to conduct these fake manoeuvres within the framework of the Wa...
In this whole plot the Soviet revisionists have an important agency for provocation in the Bulgarian revisionist clique which is using the so-called question of Macedonia to put pressure on Tito. But Tito is neither Dubcek nor Ceausescu. They will get...
The policy of military blackmail by the Soviet revisionists is applied not only within the Warsaw Treaty, and Yakubovsky, who is prowling around Europe, is not the only bogey-man. There is also the bogey-man, Grechko, who as the Minister of Defence of...
The provocation on the Chinese border, on the Ussuri River, a provocation which was co-ordinated with Grechko’s visit to India, was hatched up in this context.
Nevertheless, all this treacherous fascist policy can have no outcome other than ignominious defeat for the Soviets. The peoples’ patience with occupiers and local cliques sold out to the Soviets will not last long. The movement of resistance and oppo...

SOME ASPECTS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
The anniversary of the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet army is drawing near. During this year the Soviet revisionists have used every means to subjugate the Czechoslovak people completely. They have not achieved their aim. It is true that t...
All that this year brought forth was that the occupation troops acquired warmer quarters and greater hatred among the people. The press, the radio and the other means of propaganda were gagged, but the passive resistance of the people increased.
The economic situation in Czechoslovakia is catastrophic. the market is empty, the shops are being stripped by Ivan who grabs anything he can find and sends it off to Marushka in Russia.
Czechoslovakia has completely lost its dignity, individuality and its activity as a sovereign and independent state in the international arena is nil. It is a country completely subjugated by the Soviets with the force of arms. The Soviets have utterl...
The national moment is very suitable. The Czechoslovak problem is a gangrenous ulcer for the Soviet and other revisionists. Czechoslovakia remains a country seething with discontent and resistance. The Czechoslovak people will find sound revolutionary...
The revisionist camp is trying hard to give the impression that calm and harmony exist in its ranks. Nothing they say rings true, evil cannot be covered up with words. Their quarrels and disagreements have increased and are becoming more profound.
The Soviets are no longer smiling at their «allies».
They are putting economic pressure on the Poles, are not supplying them with the steel and oil they need. The same thing is occurring with the others, too. Of course, the reason for this is that the Soviet plans are not being fulfilled, that the Sovie...
The struggle against Bonn and against American imperialism, which they advocate. is a hoax. Nobody is deceived by this demagogy. They themselves are well aware of this, therefore, all of them are making great efforts to tie themselves to the capitalis...
West Germany, the United States of America, Great Britain, etc., are developing their activities in all forms. Nixon’s visit to Rumania is an important move, a major test in this direction.
The Soviet revisionist empire sees that it is in a very difficult position in Europe. It is keeping its European satellites under rein only with difficulty and wondering how long it will be able to do so. One day the reins will break. Therefore, the S...
That is why the Soviets are turning their eyes to the East, to countries «suitable» for colonization.
So, without lessening its caution or abandoning its pro-western policy, while maintaining and strengthening its friendship with the United States of America, which it still considers as its great rival, the Soviet Union has directed its gaze and its g...
The revisionist Soviet Union advocates the idea of a «security» alliance with the peoples of Asia and has begun to work actively in this direction. The aim of Soviet social-imperialism is to prepare for war against China, to achieve its isolation and ...
The aim of this revisionist strategy is to intimidate China, to sweeten up the capitalist states of Asia, and to dispel the fears of and please the United States of America and Japan.
The war which the Soviet Union is preparing against China is greatly to the liking of the United States of America and Japan which are encouraging it in this direction. But, on the other hand, the latter do not like the Soviet plan of manoeuvres for a...
Thus, Nixon’s present trip must be seen as a counter to this Soviet plan. The purpose of it is not only to strengthen the positions of the United States of America in India and elsewhere, but also to penetrate into Rumania, into the lair of the Soviet...

The Soviets are making great efforts to gain influence in India and to make it an ally of theirs. They are providing India with credits and arms, making many investments there in order to extract big economic and political benefits. In India, however,...
India, after all, is an enormous, poverty-stricken country which, in order to act as it would like, needs capital in amounts which the Soviet Union will never be able to provide. India is a continent that is stirring, ripe for revolution. The Indian c...

Pakistan maintains good relations with China. At this time, when the Soviets and the Americans are undertaking these endeavours in Asia. Pakistan is strengthening its links with China.
The road into the Soviet Far East has been opened to Nipponese imperialism. With the Japanese investments in the territory of the Soviet Union the Soviet revisionist leadership is trying to compensate for its own investments in the other countries it ...
The Middle East is and will continue to be a zone of Soviet-American influence, intrigues and domination. The puppets who are in power in the Arab countries are sold out lock, stock and barrel. Only the organization of the resistance and the people’s ...
Neighbouring Italy is a country in chronic crisis. They are not succeeding in forming a government there; the neo-fascists, the military putsches prepared by the Americans are ready to emerge from behind-the-scenes. The prospect of these putsches has ...

Under various pretexts and in the context of the Warsaw Treaty, the Soviet revisionists are making efforts to create big mixed military units made up of contingents from each member state of this Treaty. They say that Rumania has not agreed. According...

ON THE FRANCO-AMERICAN CONTRADICTIONS
The Franco-American contradictions are contradictions between two imperialist powers. Sometimes they become acute, sometimes they seem to die down a little, but they never disappear and they cannot disappear completely. These are contradictions betwee...
These two imperialist powers talk about their «traditional friendship», but this sort of friendship represents nothing but the defence of their capitalist interests in the given crisis conditions, when their interests are in danger of being completely...
France and Britain emerged from the First World War victorious over the Germany of Kaiser William. Although the war brought them losses, these two imperialist powers still retained their superiority in capitalist Europe and retained their colonial emp...
The closest «friend» and «blood relational» which could be fleeced most easily was the «British lion». It took the Second World War to bring the transfer of the former British colonies grosso modo (In general (Italian in the original)) under the domin...
French imperialism, on the other hand, did not submit so readily to the pressure of American imperialism. Through the Treaty of Versailles and the alliances it put together, especially in Europe, the French bourgeoisie tried to restrain the revival of...
A series of circumstances, the crises, the revival of German militarism in the form of the former Hitlerite nazi Reich, more ferocious in its ideology and organization, brought about that the French bourgeoisie was weakened and lost the Second World W...
Of course, France, which emerged from the war economically and morally defeated, could not have its former prestige or weight or play a first-rate role in the international arena. The partisan and Gaullist forces which took part in the war could not a...
After the War, this France accepted and benefited from the «Marshall Plan» In order to strengthen its assets with the American aid and to preserve its empire which was shaken to its foundations the French capitalist bourgeoisie showed itself disposed ...
The facts showed that the French capitalist economy was reviving. France began to display more independence in its policy, began to strengthen its political and economic links with Bonn, to play the main role in the European Common Market, and during ...
In any case, wherever there was a vacuum the United States of America moved in with its military bases, its capital investments, its credits and its agents. The old French colonialism was being replaced with the powerful American neo-colonialism. This...
De Gaulle tried to crystallize his alliance with Bonn, first of all, with the aim that France would be dominant in this alliance and that the two countries jointly would neutralize the American influence in Europe. From this angle De Gaulle regarded B...
At the same time, in the situation when the Soviet Union and the United States of America had entered the phase of a feverish alliance between them, De Gaulle tried to make approaches to the Soviet Union with the aim of exerting pressure in two direct...
To attain his political objectives with the Soviet Union, De Gaulle also intended to carry out some sleight of hand in his internal policy in order to deceive the working class and the opposition. Faced with the failure of his policy, however, the Fre...
If we look deep into the essence of the question, however, and not just at external appearances, the contradictions exist and are growing deeper. At the moment we see that these contradictions are becoming acute in two directions: in the demands of th...
We must follow the development of these situations attentively. Our task is to follow the development of these contradictions carefully, to make them clear to our people, and to our friends and to mercilessly expose the demagogy of enemies, which cove...

ALL-ROUND CRISIS IN THE SOVIET UNION
The Soviet Union has had crises for the past 10-15 years and will go on having them. This is a logical result of the restoration of capitalism and the decay of the present regime in that country. The antagonistic contradictions amongst groups in the l...
The course which the Soviet revisionists are following is that of forcing the pace of the militarization of the Soviet Union. Of course this cannot be done without clashes, without contradictions and without violating the vital interests of the workin...
The fact is that capital from America and other capitalist countries is pouring into the Soviet Union. This is going on just as in every other capitalist country and their colonies, just as it did in capitalist Germany after the First and the Second W...
Of course, with its investments in the Soviet Union, world capital, headed by American capital, aims to draw huge economic profits and is doing so in fact. The investments it makes in the Soviet Union are advantageous to world capital in many directio...
Now this degeneration in the Soviet Union has assumed monstrous forms, with the creation of a corrupted class which rules in the economy, politics, ideology and the military field. The machinery of betrayal has been set working and is being oiled so t...
International capitalism has reached the conclusion, that through the Khrushchevites’ betrayal it gained a powerful agency with the help of which it will be able to, fight communism and world revolution «successfully». It would never be able to do thi...
At the same time, however, world capitalism knows that the advent to power of Khrushchevite revisionism in the Soviet Union is a temporary victory. Nevertheless, it is trying to consolidate this victory.
What benefits did Khrushchevite revisionism bring world capitalism?
It sowed the seed of disruption within the communist parties, and within the international labour movement.
It is playing the role of a scab in the revolution and a fire-extinguisher to quell the flames of national liberation wars which the international gendarme, American imperialism, puts down by force of arms.
Hence, world capitalism and modern revisionism are fighting in unison against the revolution, communism, socialism and the peoples who have risen to their feet ,and are fighting for their freedom.
American imperialism and Soviet social-imperialism are the arch-enemies of the peoples. They are both fighting against other peoples and countries, against the revolutionary forces. This common objective brings them together, unites them. But as the i...
At present there are tacit military-political agreements between the two blocs, the Atlantic bloc headed by the United States of America and the Warsaw bloc headed by the Soviet Union. Within these blocs there is a spider’s web, of multifarious connec...
American imperialism and Soviet social-imperialism are preparing for war. In this context they are sabotaging and hampering the national liberation wars of peoples who have risen and will continue to rise against them in armed struggle. At the same ti...
The imperialism of the United States of America feels «stronger» within its empire. It is fully prepared ideologically and militarily for aggression, which it has in its bloodstream and is developing in all forms, on all continents.
From the time the Khrushchevites betrayed socialism they set out, as they themselves declared, on the course of «catching up with and surpassing the United States of America». Naturally, this «was to be done» on the anti-socialist, capitalist road. Su...
Already the Soviet Union is deeply immersed in this destructive process. It is in crisis everywhere, in every sector. Agriculture is in a great crisis, light and heavy industry, the structural organization of the state and the economy likewise, reform...
A great crisis has gripped the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It is no longer a Marxist-Leninist party. It has degenerated into a worthless bureaucratic apparatus, which has discarded any Leninist norms, which engages only in demagogy and whose ...
The whole superstructure of the Soviet Union is in the chaos of bourgeois degeneration, under a thin coat of allegedly Marxist paint. The union of the various nationalities and republics which form the Soviet Union, a union achieved on the Marxist-Len...
Modern revisionism incites nationalism and great-Russian chauvinism, incites the domination of big nationalities over smaller ones, suppresses any democratic freedoms, because it has abolished the dictatorship of the proletariat, has created the strat...
Thus, the revisionist clique in the Soviet Union is kept in power by means of counter-revolutionary violence. Abroad, this clique no longer completely dominates the revisionist camp. Unity does not exist, it is a formal unity, a charade of unity. Like...
Thus, the methods of the Soviet militarist-fascist violence have come into operation. They are a logical outcome of the establishment of the capitalist regime in the Soviet Union. The militarist-fascist violence operates within the Soviet Union, opera...
In the international arena, the militarist-fascist Soviet power has begun to emerge in the Near East and establish its bases in Egypt and elsewhere, under the disguise of military aid for the peoples. The aggressive Soviet fleet has begun to show itse...
Bent on their course of adventures and imperialist wars, the Soviet revisionists are experiencing great difficulties and political, economic and other crises. They are making great efforts to overcome them, to conceal or belittle them, but in vain. T...
There is talk of a crisis in the Soviet revisionist leadership. No doubt there is and always will be. The militarymen are in the saddle and will strengthen their militarist-fascist power. The state power in the revisionist Soviet Union will go incr...

THE AMERICAN TROOPS HAVE ATTACKED CAMBODIA
Once again Nixon has shown his face as the warmongering representative of American imperialism and exposed his own pacifist lies and demagogy. Two or three days ago he declared he was going to withdraw 150 thousand troops from Vietnam. This was just a...
The peoples of Indochina are uniting as one against their common enemy and will put him in his grave all the sooner. The American imperialists and their friends, the Soviet revisionists, are frantic and they have good reason to be. Their plans have be...
The Soviet revisionists have been caught like rats in a trap. They cannot extricate themselves from the consequences of their treachery and are sinking deeper into the mire. Their statements on Cambodia are stale, false, cynical. Their ambassador stil...
But with the Americans’ invasion of Cambodia, the North Vietnamese, too, must certainly be greatly disillusioned with the lies of the Soviets who are for talks with the Americans.
The American imperialists have recommenced the bombing of North Vietnam This is a ...eat defeat for the Soviet revisionists, a terrible exposure for them as friends of American imperialism. The Vietnamese will draw the proper lessons.
VLORA, TUESDAY AUGUST 11, 1910
SOVIET-WEST GERMAN FRIENDSHIP UNDER AMERICAN PATRONAGE
The Soviet revisionists and Bonn have signed a treaty on the non-use of force against each other (This treaty was signed on August 1, 1970 in Moscow), and opened the prospect of all-round collaboration between these two imperialist states.
This agreement was achieved in record time, a thing which shows that in essence social-democracy, which is in power at present in both signatory countries, quickly ironed out the disagreements. The interests of German revanchism and Soviet social-impe...
Thus, West Germany will have possibilities to strengthen its military, economic and political potential even more than it has done already, while the Soviet revisionists will have a time of relative peace in Europe in order to stabilize the power of t...
This friendship of the Soviet revisionists with Bonn is being developed with the calculated approval of American imperialism. «These three friends» are in agreement as long as their individual interests are not damaged. Actually, American imperialism ...
The victory of Bonn is considerable. The Federal Republic of Germany, with the assistance of world imperialism and American imperialism, in particular, has become the most powerful partner in NATO after the United States of America. Its economy has be...
For Bonn, of course, no position gained can be complete without the annexation of the German Democratic Republic. In the existing circumstances it could not do this without the use of force. Moreover, the Soviet-American alliance made the prospect of ...
Now the imperialists, the modern revisionists and world capitalism in crisis are setting tip a deafening clamour to advertise this treaty According to them «This treaty has removed the threat of war from Europe and ensured the status quo of the border...
This imperialist treaty tramples on the rights of the peoples who fought against Hitlerite Germany. For the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic it eliminates the question of the Peace Treaty which they, as defeated states, h...
Stalin never assisted imperialism or Hitlerite fascism. He was a glorious Marxist-Leninist and their sworn enemy. The Soviet-German treaty cannot be equated with this present one. Stalin was well aware who he was dealing with knew that a life-and-deat...
Willy Brandt stressed several times, in his official speech in Moscow, and talking to reporters on the occasion of the signing of the treaty, that it would be successful and would achieve the purposes for which it was signed if what might be called a ...
The capitalists of Bonn want to penetrate those countries in other ways: in political, economic and ideological ways. The other issues will come later as a consequence of the former. West Germany wants and will try on the basis of this treaty to achie...
The Soviet revisionist counter-revolutionaries are afraid of the peoples and the revolution, therefore they have few illusions about keeping their satellites under a firm grip, especially in the political and ideological fields, because sooner or late...
The Soviets must make concessions to them, and this treaty makes this obligatory, because the Soviet Union will sink into all-round collaboration with Bonn, a collaboration which will demand concessions for the foreign capital which will pour into the...
The revisionist leadership of the Soviet Union will see the problems through glasses different from those through which it is seeing them today. It will be caught up in the capitalist storm with its cycles of political, economic and military crises, w...
Soviet revisionist imperialism now hopes that by making major sacrifices through this treaty and, later, the treaty on «European Security», if this is achieved, it will dominate Europe together with German imperialism so the two of them will make the ...
Hence, the current euphoria which is being expressed in the world about this imperialist treaty is not real for all. For the satellite countries of the Soviet Union it is a «joy» which conceals the desire of cliques to break away from the Soviet tutel...
The French capitalist bourgeoisie is in a quandary. Either it must activize the intransigent policy of De Gaulle, or it must capitulate to the other imperialist powers, the United States of America, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Soviet Union...

NIXON’S COMING TO EUROPE
Notes
1) Whenever the positions of American imperialism anywhere are shaken or endangered, either the president or the vice-president of the United States of America, according to the occasion, emerges from his lair.
2) This time, President Nixon himself is coming to Europe with an impressive suite, but he is very worried.
3) The objects of his visit, Italy, Yugoslavia. Spain, the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean, the meeting in Naples with the American ambassadors in this region, and finally his visit to Britain, in themselves, are clear indications of the nature of Nixo...
4) Nixon will meet and talk with Saragat. Tito and Franco. friends and loyal allies of American imperialism, because at the present juncture the American strategic, economic and military positions in these countries are shaky and «a presidential impul...
5) His purpose in coming to Italy is:
a) to strengthen the American military bases;
b) to encourage and assist the friends, the venal agents of America, to keep the state power firmly in their grip and, in case of danger, the «De Lorenzos» should be ready:
c) to keep the vigorous tendencies of nostalgia for the «Rome-Berlin Axis», now the Rome-Bonn axis, under his control. and also, to keep a cold shower pouring on the revisionists’ hopes of any unduly close embrace with their Moscovite ally.
6) Besides this, the Americans have big economic interests in Italy. They have to defend them at all costs by means of their policy, the stock exchange, the men loyal to the Americans, and by means of force.
7) Spain is a country where open fascism reigns, not even «disguised democracy» exists there. But Spain, like Italy, is in crisis: the people, the workers there are fighting, are on strike. Spain is living on credits from the Americans, but now Bonn i...
8) It is self-evident that in the talk with his ambassadors in the countries of the Mediterranean basin, it is not their health, but the «health» of the countries to which they are accredited, that interests Nixon. He will recommend to them that these...
9) Nixon’s inspection of this aggressive Fleet will not be to watch a parade of the marines, but to incite them to war against the peoples, to be ready to intervene and attack the peoples and national liberation struggles, to be ready to defend the we...
10) Nixon could not overlook either Yugoslavia or Tito. American imperialism has no military bases in Yugoslavia, but American capital is firmly established there, and the United States of America has major economic and political interests in that cou...
With his anti-Marxist policy and ideology, Tito has not only ruined his country and endangered its independence and sovereignty, but has also rendered great services, to American imperialism, which gave him its backing when he abandoned Marxism-Lenini...
Of course, Nixon is very interested in this «other work» in which Tito, this close and loyal friend of the Americans, has been engaged in the past and will continue to be engaged. Therefore, at their meeting these two close friends will define new pla...
It is not without purpose that this anti-Marxist who poses as Marxist is being publicized as «an international political personality for specific questions» of the so called third world, as «an expert on Balkan and European affairs», as «an expert on ...
These are not the sole reasons for Nixon’s visit to Yugoslavia. He is thinking, also, about the defence of the outposts of NATO. But the peoples of Yugoslavia are enemies of NATO and of the Warsaw Treaty, and we are fully convinced that they will figh...
11) The last stop on Nixon’s trip is in Britain, the traditional, favourite ally, but the lion’s teeth have been drawn. Nevertheless. it has been called upon, as always, to play a role in Europe, and especially, in moments of grave crisis, to set in m...
With what role will Britain be charged in regard to France, how will its fears of Bonn and the Soviets be dispelled, how should it sharpen its «vigilance»? The two cousins, the American and the British, will thrash out all these things, will talk them...
Conclusion: The purpose of Nixon’s visit is to cheek up on the readiness of the American naval forces in the Mediterranean, and the air and land forces on the European territories, to control and give aid and explanations to the political forces which...
In order to strengthen NATO in the Mediterranean and bottle up the Soviet fleet, the United States of America has placed great importance on this basin and the African continent. The Soviet-American rivalry in this zone will increase. At present the S...

WHAT IS HIDDEN BEHIND POMPIDOU’S VISIT TO MOSCOW?
Today Pompidou sets out on an official visit to the Soviet Union. In an interview he gave some days ago, he stressed that in regard to the Soviet Union and in general he will pursue the same policy of De Gaulle. This visit of his is significant and is...
In fact, Britain, the United States of America and their satellites in Europe regard the exchange of kisses between Bonn and Moscow with concern unexpressed as yet, and have begun their underground activities to thwart the two of them. Of course, Bonn...
Hence, it is clear that the American positions in Europe and the Mediterranean are shaky and this is due to the Moscow-Bonn manoeuvres, the Gaullist resistance in France, the weakness of Britain and, above all, to the anti-American and anti-revisionis...
Hence. Gaullist France does not want to miss the bus on this course; it wants to become the third partner in this new European anti-American coalition that is taking shape. Of course, both Bonn and Moscow want to have France on their side, not as an e...
In my opinion Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East are the current focal points of the major contradictions that exist among the imperialist-revisionist powers. In Europe the cauldron is simmering over domination. Nixon came to strengthen the...
France, of course, wants to dominate not only in Europe but also in the Mediterranean and on the African continent. It sees the danger in the Mediterranean, and that is why it demands the withdrawal from the Mediterranean of the two fleets: that of th...
On the other hand, France is very interested in Africa and the Middle East. Here again, its interests are in harmony with those of the Soviets, who, I think, do not disapprove of the intervention in those regions of a partner «friendly» to them, which...
Our duty is to follow these developments and make them known to our people at home so that they are prepared, but we should also make them known to public opinion abroad.
We do not know what China thinks about these major world problems. Mao told the comrades of our government economic delegation absolutely nothing. When he met them he asked them only the simple question: «Are there contradictions between the Soviet Un...
Probably the Chinese comrades make more profound analyses, but with friends like us who are fighting in the conditions that everybody knows, they ought to be more open.

THE SOVIET POLICY TOWARDS «FRIENDS»
In all the revisionist countries without exception, the internal and external situation is very unhealthy and unstable. This is not visible from outside, but within it is seething and causing all sorts of national and international troubles for the cl...
In the international arena the revisionist countries have lost any prestige they had, have no personality, do not play any prominent political role. Certain «international issues», like the signing of treaties with Bonn or «European security», problem...
The German problem is a burning issue for all the revisionists, but they do not see eye to eye on its solution. In general and outwardly, they all approve of the Moscow-Bonn Treaty, but in reality there is opposition among them The main opposition com...
These two treaties lower whatever authority the German Democratic Republic has in the international arena, keep it in the status quo of a pawn of the policy of the Soviet revisionists in Europe, in the latter’s dealings with American imperialism and w...
These two treaties must be ratified by Bonn which, naturally, is demanding further concessions, and these have to do with ensuring international legal guarantees (official acceptance by the German Democratic Republic) of routes of entry into West Berl...
To what extent will the German revisionists resist this plan, to what extent will the Soviet revisionists, the present bosses of the German Democratic Republic and Brands’s allies, be in solidarity with these aims of Bonn? Will the Soviets be able to ...
The East German diplomats tell our diplomats that «the policy of the Party of Labour of Albania towards the German Democratic Republic is the only correct policy. We agree with it, but cannot act in that way because we have the noose round our necks».
The newspapers of the German Democratic Republic describe the men of Bonn as revanchists, as the most dangerous imperialist force in Europe, as the cutting edge of the sword of American imperialism, while the other revisionists say the opposite. The S...
Naturally these revisionist traitors regard the policy of the Soviet Union towards Bonn as a policy of «peace and security in order to obtain aid and credits from the Federal Republic of Germany. They have trampled principles underfoot, they have gone...
The German Democratic Republic must be subjugated to their interests and the interests of each individual clique prevail over the general interest, since for them the latter is not a matter of principle, but is only something momentary and conditioned...
Seen from this angle, the situation in the Soviet Union is very turbulent, very critical for the revisionist clique in power. It is facing many key problems of capital importance, which it is incapable of solving on this treacherous course on which it...
After Stalin’s death, the betrayal of Marxism-Leninism created the present situation which is catastrophic in all directions.
In the first place, the communist party has been turned into a corpse, which exists only in form, because other laws, other principle, other decrees operate. It is overwhelmed with routine and slogans. It no longer exists as a leading party of the wor...
From a country of socialist democracy, the Soviet Union has turned into a country of the new repressive bureaucracy with its laws, norms, prisons, concentration camps, corruption, unemployment, prostitution, great shortages of products, conflicts amon...
The Soviet revisionists are caught up in a vicious circle. Internally they want to create the impression that they are following the Leninist course in everything, both in theory and in practice, but the situation is developing in the opposite directi...
The revisionist policy, the moral-political degeneration and the internal economic defeats have totally eroded the authority and prestige of the Soviet Union in the international arena. The Soviet Union no longer has sincere friends in the world as it...
The revisionist satellites put no trust in and have no love for the Moscow revisionists who dominate them. Each side tries to deceive and cheat the other, each tries to use every trick in the bag to swindle the other, is servile when it sees some dang...
Thus there is nothing friendly about the Soviet policy towards «friends» It is a policy of friendship among wolves, an imperialist policy cloaked with false socialist slogans which no one believes. When the policy of the Soviet revisionists is a chauv...
The so-called Soviet economic aid means chains of slavery and exploitation. The economic crisis in the Soviet Union is increasing and becoming more intense, the imperialist clique in power is obliged to invest in other countries and to attract foreign...
Their grave was dug in Czechoslovakia and it remains open. A second grave, bigger and more dangerous for them, has been dug: the Polish grave. The Gierek clique is a temporary clique which, even if it plays in both tableaux, will be unable to remain o...

THE INVASION OF LAOS BY THE AMERICANS AND THE SAIGONESE, A RESULT OF THE TRAITOROUS POLICY OF THE SOVIET REVISIONISTS
A foreign military force over 40.000 strong has invaded Laos. The various news agencies say that 30.000 of them are soldiers of the Saigon puppets and 10.000 American soldiers and officers. Their aim is to extend the scope of the aggression, to «Vietn...
In this way American imperialism is involving itself more disastrously in the war and will certainly suffer overwhelming defeats. There can be no more hope for it. The more it escalates and extends its aggression, the more defeat becomes imminent and ...
Nevertheless, the Americans are accompanying the operations in Laos and Cambodia with the recommencement of the bombing of North Vietnam. They have also announced the landing of fresh amphibious forces at the 17th parallel allegedly to reinforce the b...
The other side of the medal: the great and continuous betrayal by the Soviet revisionists, their secret and open collaboration with American imperialism on the Vietnamese question, must be seen in the light of these developments.
The Soviet revisionists directed their whole policy and all their efforts to quelling the liberation war in Vietnam, to making the Vietnamese capitulate to the Americans, reach a compromise and enter into negotiations with them...
As a result of many secret Soviet-American deals, the Americans had, they say, given some sort of undertaking that they would stop the bombing of North Vietnam. «A great victory has been achieved,» shouted the Soviets. They thought that heaven was wit...
The fact is that during these «famous» talks... Nixon did his bit, declaring that he would allegedly withdraw from Vietnam, leaving the Vietnamese to fight Vietnamesc. And in order to deceive the American public he did withdraw a minimal contingent of...
This whole manoeuvre was in favour of the Americans, and for them everything went on as before. Why? The American imperialists needed a pause in the fighting and this they gained. During this period, while enganing in empty talk and palaver, they reor...
This is the result, also, of the treacherous policy of the Soviet revisionists.

The contradictions between Tito and the Soviet revisionists have not sprung up today. The Soviets want to have Tito «obedient» to them, but they have not achieved and will not achieve this even after his death, with whatever type of leaders emerge in ...
Moscow sees that Tito and Titoism play a role which is advantageous to American imperialism, and this role is to the liking of both Tito and American imperialism. The circumstances are as follows: Nobody else can play the card of «socialism» which Tit...
The Soviet revisionists are megalomaniacs and worried because they are not achieving this aim. Hence, taking advantage of the chaos and confusion which Titoism has caused in Yugoslavia, they intensified their pressure on it. But, when they did not suc...
The Rumanians are afraid Tito will leave them in the lurch, but they are wrong, because Tito will defend them, not because of their beautiful eyes, but in the interests of Yugoslavia and to weaken Soviet influence. At present the Soviets’ tendency is ...

THE CENTRES OF THE WAR FOR PLUNDER ARE MULTIPLYING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
True, the war with weapons has stopped in the Middle East, but now a feverish diplomatic struggle is going on there between the United States of America, Israel, Egypt, the Palestinians and other Arab countries and, behind the scenes, the Soviet Union.
Egypt’s Sadat has reached agreement with Carter and each has made concessions to the other. It is said that Carter has issued an «ultimatum» to Begin that Israel must give up Sinai and remove the Jewish colonies settled on some of the occupied Arab te...
THE TRIANGLE OF SUPERPOWERS
The question of China will always concern us, because through its policy it is threatening the world with a new, predatory, imperialist world war. China has set out on this hostile course against the peoples, and without concealing its aims in the sli...
This view is already clear. In its policy China today is following the course of the great state, the great power, for world hegemony in the way, with the policy and with the measures through which this objective can be achieved, that is, by combating...

Britain and France, likewise, have interests in China, therefore they are developing relations with it, although China as a loyal partner of the United States of America is more interested in links with Bonn. Thus Britain and France see the Federal R...
Hence, in this direction we see that the USA and NATO are trying to preserve the status quo with the Soviet Union, of course, despite their contradictions with one another, but these contradictions are far from sufficient to justify the Chinese predi...
At the same time American imperialism is supporting China so that it becomes stronger militarily and economically. In other words, American capital is pouring into China, where many investments are being made with credits from the big American banks,...
In this situation China signed the Treaty of Friendship and Collaboration with Japan (In August 1978). But this Sino-Japanese Treaty of Friendship is and will continue to be fraught with an immense, many-sided danger with hideous consequences for th...
This is the grand strategy of American imperialism, but at the same time, also of Chinese imperialism and Japanese militarism. The United States of America will try to keep the balance of Chinese and Japanese power, which is building up, in its favour...

PRESIDENT CARTER’S HOAX
The United States of America is in such a deep and grave political-economic crisis that President Carter was obliged to go on TV to address the people. He spoke about oil, but together with this he also mentioned the crisis which the American nation i...
Carter said that the men who had gone to Camp David had spoken frankly to him. He cited a governor from the South, who had allegedly told him: «Mr. President, you are not leading this nation. You are merely administering the government», while another...
Carter declared that the American nation is threatened by a crisis of confidence. «This» he said, «is a crisis that attacks the heart, the soul and the spirit of the will of our nation. The erosion of our confidence in the future threatens to destroy ...
Hence, Carter seeks to convince his listeners that only now has he become aware of this situation, this spirit and this will of the nation which is in crisis, but he said nothing about the huge profits which the American oil trusts and companies have ...
«When we import oil» he pointed out, «we also import inflation and unemployment». He went on, «We have been accustomed to using as much as we have» and «we have stuck our head over the fence, while OPEC is on the other side, with the knife in its hand.»
Hence, Carter’s speech is also a threat to the oil producing countries, members of OPEC, a threat to the Middle East, the producer of oil, the countries of which he is threatening with war if they continue to raise the prices or to reduce the extracti...
Carter said, also, that from now on, not even a single drop of oil above the 1977 level would be imported. In that year the United States of America imported 8 and a half million barrels of oil a day. This, too, is another threat to the Arab countries...
In Havana there may even be clashes and opposition from the supporters of the Soviet Union, which wants to emerge as champion of the «non-aligned world». In fact paper Pravda is raising a big fuss about this meeting, saying that this forces of the «no...
The official rag of the country which heads the Warsaw Treaty and which exerts its savage domination over the member countries of this Treaty, is appealing to the Titoite «non-aligned world» to safeguard its «Unity» and remain «non-aligned». In other ...
Another issue, which has now emerged on the scene is the, «modernization of China». That country with a huge population is in ever greater disarray. There are profound differences in the ranks of the Chine, leadership. Deng’s policy in the internation...
The capitalist countries are not as confident about the «development» of China as they were at first. Deng’s «triumph» was a flash in the pan. Now the imperialists and capitalists, who have seen the economic and political reality of China, think diffe...
In this unstable situation, internally and abroad, China is seeking some kind of stability. Naturally, it is seeking aid, too, and it has received and will receive aid from American imperialism, Japan, Federal Germany and the other imperialist countries.
To counter-balance its failure in its aim to cause war to break out between the Western powers and American imperialism, on the one hand, and against the Soviet Union, on the other hand, the treacherous Chinese leadership is now turning its eyes to th...
Hence, in order to counter-balance its defeats China is beginning its flirtation with the Soviet Union again. Despite these political steps it is taking, China has not overcome the difficulties it has to cope with. Major problems, such as the question...
All the big Powers are re-examining their internal and external positions, their allies, friendships and animosities. This is the epoch of «wife swapping». A shameful economic, political and military defeat for capitalism will emerge from this unhealt...
The peoples of the world, the revolutionary Marxist-Leninists and progressive individuals must take advantage of this situation.
For our part, we must analyse these situations in the light of Marxism-Leninism, must maintain correct stands towards all these things which are occurring and reveal the truth, which we must make known as much as we can to all those who have the possi...

THROUGH ITS INTERVENTION IN AFGHANISTAN THE SOVIET UNION IS CARRYING OUT ITS IMPERIALIST STRATEGIC PLANS
In the international arena, the year 1979 is closing with a revolutionary situation which is the result of peoples’ uprisings against the yoke of world imperialism and capitalism. An event of special importance took place last week in an Asian country...
The fact is that through their military intervention, the Soviets killed the first and the second and brought the next, the third, from Czechoslovakia, where he was ambassador, and installed him as head of state.
It is rumoured that the Soviets have intervened in Afghanistan with two or three divisions of tanks and aircraft in the same way that they intervened in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Now under the pretext that Amin was a traitor and an agent of American imp...
As is known, there are many insurgent movements in Afghanistan led by patriots who want neither the Soviet yoke nor the yoke of their agents, but they are described as Moslems and their anti-imperialist patriotic movement is described as an Islamic mo...
But the struggle they are waging is of great importance, not only for Afghanistan, but also for the other peoples. It is evident that, with its intervention in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union is fulfilling its imperialist strategic plans to secure key m...
With their military intervention in Afghanistan, the Soviets are encircling Iran from the north and the south, and if the United States of America intervenes in Iran with armed forces, then the Soviet Union, too, will commence its operations in that d...
Therefore, the Soviets are preparing for an eventual war, which might be waged in the big oil-bearing zone, the Middle East. Syria, where the Soviet influence is; more apparent, has not yet condemned the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, but the oth...
Thus, all world opinion has been aroused against the actions of the Soviets and, as the foreign news agencies report, Moscow has been forced to declare that it wilt withdraw its troops from Afghanistan as soon as the situation is stabilized. This is t...
Naturally, the two superpowers reach secret agreements over the division of spheres of influence between them, but this division also gives rise to great opposition, causes a fierce militant revolutionary reaction on the part of the masses of the peop...

PANORAMA OF THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
...The situation was threatening even before, but now, following the events in Iran and after the Soviet aggression against Afghanistan, that is, after the occupation of that country by the Soviet Union with tanks and armed forces, the threats and pre...
As I have said at other times, the Middle East, the great oil-bearing zone, has become a hot-bed of war in the world today. It is that part of the globe where the political-economic-strategic predatory interests of the great powers, first of all, of t...
The energy problem in the world, which is linked with the production and distribution of oil which holds first place as a source of energy, has become very acute. This has brought about the further deepening of the world-wide general economic crisis.
The overthrow of the shah, naturally, created major problems inside Iran and abroad. The positive aspect of the uprising of the Iranian people, irrespective of who is leading it, is that it brought about the overthrow of the shah, a lackey of American...
The United States of America tried to escape unscathed, politically and economically, from the events in Iran, therefore it threatened an armed attack, dispatched its naval fleet to the vicinity of the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean and is keeping ...
Naturally this aggression and occupation created a dangerous situation in the world and made the Middle East a very delicate zone where the superpowers are directly confronting each other in a state of cold war which threatens to turn into a hot war a...
Nevertheless, following the open aggression of the Soviet Union against Afghanistan, American imperialism has somewhat lowered its bugles against Iran, but this does not mean that it has given up its manoeuvres and plots within the country, neither do...
In Afghanistan the Soviets encountered resistance. The men of the American government exploited this quite openly, came to terms with the reactionary leadership of Pakistan and declared that they would provide, and did in fact provide, economic and mi...
As is known, the meeting of Moslem countries was held in Islamabad. There it was decided that all the Moslem countries should help the Afghan people and the so-called Committee which is directing the war against the Soviets inside Afghanistan. We see ...
In the other countries of the Middle East at present there is, so to say, a certain status quo in which, in fact, a shift can be seen in the positions of various countries of this basin in defence of the Iranian revolution and the Afghan people, and e...
In other words, the allies of Washington in this oil-bearing zone are trying to strengthen their friendship with the United States of America in the first place, and on the other hand, to bring the Iran of Khomeini to terms with American imperialism. ...
Thus the situation in the Arab world remains as before, with the one difference that Egypt and Israel are continuing to strengthen their alliance and friendship under the American umbrella, to watch the development of the popular movement in Iran clos...
Thus, we see that contradictions exist between the United States of America, France and Germany over major international problems. These contradictions stem from the fact that these two European developed capitalist countries with highly developed big...
This is why both Paris and Bonn condemned the entry of the Soviet military forces into Afghanistan, though in a low voice, a thing which gave rise to a contradiction between the Policy of America and that of these two states. Of the countries of Weste...
In regard to the countries of Eastern Europe, the satellites of the Soviet Union, they owe the Western countries billions of dollars. As a consequence the Western capitalists, who have major interests in these countries are not deteriorating matters w...
The policy of our country in regard to all these political events and stands on a world scale is correct. We analyse the situations and take our stand on the basis of conclusions we draw from the development of events. The fact is that our political s...
Depending on the occasion and circumstances, our political stands find response, also, among many bourgeois governments. Why do I say this? Because when we condemn Soviet social-imperialism for its blood-thirsty adventures, when we expose American imp...
We notice that in Greece, especially, both among the people and in government circles, among intellectuals and the members of different parties, our policy is finding a wide-spread positive response. Every political, cultural or ideological event of o...
Our stand of good-will towards Greece, expressed in our public declarations that no harm will come to Greece from our country, indeed, that we shall come to its aid if any misfortune befalls it, shall help to defend it from any aggression from whateve...
The same thing is happening in Turkey, too. Progressive Turkish opinion is making great propaganda markedly in favour of Albania. There, too, almost all the newspapers write positively about our country, in conversations with comrades of our embassy T...
In Italy the situation is extraordinary disturbed, terrorism is becoming widespread. The Italian fascist party, which bears the name «Movimento sociale italiano, destra nazionale», has proposed that the military should take over the Ministry of the In...
With Italy we continue to have trade relations and we can say that they are increasing. The Italians are interested in buying from us goods they need and selling us goods we need. In this direction we can say that a more favourable situation has been ...
On the basis of this panorama of the international situation revolutionary vigilance must always be on the order of the day for us and it must be strengthened with the further political and ideological uplift of the broad masses of the people, of the ...

THOUGHTS ON THE INTERVIEW GIVEN BY ZBIGNEW BRZEZINSKI (At that time National Security Adviser to President Carter)
In an interview he gave to the American magazine U.S. News and World Report of January 7 of this year, Brzezinski admits openly that the United States of America is an aggressive colonial force of the new type, which is facing two main challenges: «Th...
The spokesman of the American enslavers asserts in this interview that his state, which aspires to world hegemony, is threatened by a potential rival, and this rival is the Soviet Union which also aspires to world hegemony. Apart from this, Brzezinski...
For Brzezinski, Iran, where the great neo-colonialist interests of the United States of America have been seriously endangered, is included in this sphere of disturbance. This disturbance, or disequilibrium, has come about because American policy has ...
As Brzezinski himself explains, this means that the American strategy will continue to pursue «the increase of American power» through the increase of the production of the most sophisticated weapons, the growth of economic power, the protection of sp...
In this interview, while referring to the Iranian crisis and subsequent events, Brzezinski confirms that the policy of force and armed intervention remains unaltered. This is how this spokesman of American imperialism expresses this policy, «...I have...
Carter’s adviser on questions of American national security, that is, of the United States of America and its spheres of influence in different continents, states in the clearest Machiavellian terms, that in these zones of the world «American power is...
In this interview Brzezinski says nothing new but simply re-affirms the permanent policy of American imperialism. However, through his affirmations, American imperialism expresses its fear of the people’s uprisings which are mounting so that it does n...
Thus American imperialism and Soviet social-imperialism themselves announce in advance that Washington or Moscow has a finger in the plots to sabotage and crush peoples’ uprisings everywhere. The people who fight in these uprisings to win the freedom,...
American imperialism foresees turmoil in the future and is engaging in demagogy in order to conceal this reality. Thus, while demanding the building of a policy which is appropriate to the time and circumstances, Brzezinski claims that the countries o...
For American imperialism, it is imperative that the present great crisis which has gripped the world, and the mounting revolution of the peoples should be suppressed, dominated. But the United States of America does not feel strong enough to do this, ...
Undoubtedly, American imperialism does not agree with the interview which the president of France, Giscard d’Estaing, gave some days ago, in which he raises his voice and says that «the name of Europe should be heard in the world», and not drowned out...
Brzezinski tries to prove that the people’s uprisings against foreign imperialists and their internal allies, especially in the oil-bearing zone, are not of a social and liberation character, but of a «religious» character, are completely idealistic, ...
Hence, according to the imperialist enslavers, the revolutions against them, and especially those of the Moslem peoples, do not have a national and social liberation character, but a religious character. The Islamic religion is confounded with Christ...
Of course, according to this statement of Brzezinski’s, «the United States of America has no people or country under tutelage»!
Brzezinski admits that the efforts to protect spheres of influence may also lead to confrontation between the two imperialist superpowers in the zone of Moslem countries. According to him, however, irrespective of the fact that «there exist ever grea...
These are parts of Carter’s «new theory». The United States of America believes in religion, the Soviet Union does not. The United States rules through its agencies installed in those countries by the CIA, rules through capital investments, through ba...
This is the whole deduction of this arrogant imperialist who takes others for fools and considers himself the discoverer of something new in which the crises and political-military and social confrontations have their source. And, in order to deceive...
The peoples of the world, and especially the peoples of those hot and very hot zones that exist today in the world, should understand, on the basis of events, facts, political stands and military activities which are quite clear, that the two imperial...
The big imperialist powers are fighting with every means to protect the markets and zones of influence they have in the world today. When one of them loses a market in a given zone. it tries to secure it in another zone at the expense of his rival or ...
The imperialist powers, both the big ones and the. smaller ones, think, act and theorize as though they hold the fate of the peoples and mankind in their hands. and on this basis, they seek to subjugate the peoples. These aggressive powers underrate t...
The awakening of the peoples of the world is an incontestable fact. It has come about contrary to the desires of the various imperialists and capitalists. The awakening of the peoples and their struggle for victory in the political and social fields ...
Our Marxist-Leninist theory teaches us that the deepening of crises within the capitalist world is the beginning of the death agony and coma of this world. Therefore, world capital is making desperate efforts to escape from this terrible grip which ...
If Brzezinski considers the situation in the Soviet Union out of balance, then why should the united States of America be afraid of it? Brzezinski considers the United States of America consolidated. This, too, is untrue.
The two superpowers are equally aggressive, while the weakening of them is steadily increasing.
The struggle of the peoples, the struggle of the proletariat against their enemies, must advance in this great crisis which has world imperialism in its grip.

THE POLICY OF «NON-ALIGNMENT» - A CASTLE BUILT ON SAND
The Yugoslav foreign Policy is just as confused and vacillating as its internal policy. The «war horse» of the Titoites is the policy of «non alignment», but this «horse» is lame in two legs and with the death of the ageing knight-errant Tito, it too,...
Indeed this policy, if it can be called a policy, is a fiction, a castle built on sand, but not without definite purposes. It is a modus vivendi invented by world capitalism to preserve its neo-colonialist empire by deceiving the peoples that alleged...
Naturally the two imperialist superpowers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union, could not include the countries of their spheres of influence in the military blocs of NATO and the Warsaw Treaty because then the superpowers would be in da...
These countries which call themselves «non-aligned» or which, as the Titoites claim, pursue a non-aligned policy, or the countries of the «third world», or, more exactly, those of the spheres of influence of one or the other industrialized capitalist ...
All these countries and their states are hopelessly in debt hence their economy is a sick appendix of big world capital which makes the law in these countries, dictates their policy, maintains or brings down the cliques which lead them, according to t...
The peoples of those countries suffer from every standpoint. The big capitalist powers have built such a structure and infrastructure there that they can ensure the oppression and exploitation of peoples whom they deceive by means of the slight-of-han...
In Gjirokastra the people say: «The sheep and goats of Zere, the fame of Hasan Qere» (one does the work, the other gets the credit). This is what occurs with the policy of «non-alignment», too. This policy is applied and financed by American imperiali...
The investments made by the Americans, the British, the French, the Germans, and others in Yugoslavia have been very large and fruitful for the capitalists, both in the economic and political fields and also from the standpoint of strengthening their...
Hence Tito, with his «non-aligned», policy, invented by American imperialism, together with the other leaders of the policy whom I mentioned above and who are now dead, was supposed to create a flock of sheep, with no head and no feet, but with a labe...
In this game of international policy, however, the Soviet Union did not lag behind the United States of America. It, too, had its spheres of influence which comprised allegedly independent states on various continents, in which not only the policy of...
In these «non-aligned» countries, however, it is not only the influence of blocs which was felt, as Titoism claims when it says that there cannot be «complete freedom» as long as blocs exist, but also the influence of individual members of these bloc...
Naturally the contradictions within NATO are manifested outside it. NATO does not see the interests of its members from the angle of its monolithic «unity». This is quite apparent in the opposition which is developing between the Federal Republic of ...
The American policy has suffered defeats in the world and this has been reflected in the so-called policy of the «non-aligned» countries. Thus, at the Havana conference opposition was displayed among participating countries which are allies of both bl...
At present, seeing the weakness of the American policy in the world, the France of Giscard D’Estaing and West Germany have begun to make a powerful display of their policy of economic, political and military expansion, and both these states, not to me...
The last «horse» of this bandwagon invented by American imperialism is dying and this dada of theirs will die with them. The Yugoslav «collective» leadership will no longer be able to wave this banner of «non-alignment» and deceive the peoples and, in...

Naturally the United States of America has extended its spheres of influence, but now it has to keep them free of encroaches and even strengthen them. Now, however, it is less capable of doing so as it was before. As we know, after the Second World Wa...
As time passed, the European Common Market grew steadily stronger from the standpoint of its organization the division of roles, economic contributions and a certain stability or agreement about the reciprocal exchange of goods which were produced wit...
All this political and economic organization was done contrary to the desires of the American economic power. Indeed, it is clear that such an organization, fraught with contradictions, was not to the liking of the United States of America from the po...

But the law of the jungle operates; the capitalist will see you hanged, but will not come to your aid.

Even after these defeats Carter proposed that the United States of America should deploy some new «Pershing-2» and «Cruise» nuclear missiles in Europe for the «defence», of Europe and NATO.
This proposal which Carter tried to impose was rejected both by Giscard and by the German Chancellor Schmidt. Why? Apparently from fear that if the United States of America deploys its new missiles in Europe, the Soviet Union will match this by deploy...

IMPERIALIST FRICTIONS
WHAT LIES BEHIND THE WORKERS’ STRIKES AT THE POLISH BALTIC PORTS?
As I have written previously in my Political Diary, since the beginning of July, a strike movement of dockers and workers of other sectors commenced in Poland, especially in the Baltic port cities of Gdansk, Gdynia, Szczecin, etc. These strikes assum...
Right from the start, the development of events in connection with these strikes showed that, although called by workers against the economic difficulties they have encountered, they were inspired and manipulated from abroad and by the all powerful Po...
By following the day-to-day development of the events in Poland during the last two months we can come to certain conclusions.
It was natural that the strikes in Gdansk, Gdynia and Szczecin would lead to some developments and results. First of all, they caused new difficulties for the Polish revisionist leadership and, at the same time, made the political situation all over t...
