Marxism-Leninism Is the Guide

MARXISM-LENINISM IS THE GUIDE
AND LEADER OF EVERY PARTY AND NOT
KRUSHCHEV'S CONDUCTOR'S BATON
From a conversaton with a delegation of the CP
of Malaya
January 20, 1965
Our party has a high regard for your party because it is a revolutionary
Marxist-Leninist party.
Its internationalist solidarity has been a great assistance to us, especially since
the Moscow
Meeting in 1960. The Communist party of Malaya has fought and is fighting under
difficult
conditions against Japanese and British imperialism, and Malayan reaction as well as
against
modern revisionism. We have made, are making and have to make still great efforts
against these
enemies. But Marxism-Leninism, which guides our parties will defeat the enemies and
with struggle
and effort we shall overcome all the difficulties.
The modern revisionists have created very serious difficulties in the international
Communist
movement, and in the development of events in the world, in general, because modern
revisionism
developed in the USSR, one of the main powers of the socialist camp, as well as in
the Communist and
workers parties of Europe, with the exception of the Party of Labour of Albania.
Besides this,
modern revisionism has captured the leading positions in the parties and the
socialist states of
Europe, apart from Albania. In these countries modern revisionism has state power
in its hands.
Within a period of ten years, modern revisionism has managed, to some degree, to
orientate the
policy of these states towards dependence on US imperialism, to wage a savage
anti-Marxist campaign
against the Communist Party and the People's Republic of China, against the People's
Republic and
the Party of Labour of Albania, and against all other Marxist-Leninist parties. The
revisionists
waged this struggle, but of course, they did not achieve the success they had hoped
for. On the
contrary, during this short period they have been under serious attacks from the
Communist party
of China headed by comrade Mao Tse-tung, from our parties, and all the
revolutionaries of the
world. Now, in the opinion of our party, we can say that Krushchevite and Titoite
modern
revisionism has been exposed, but have not yet lost their power and influence.
Nevertheless, in
general, modern revisionism has been exposed, and in the international Communist
movement, it is
facing a difficult situation. Now, modern revisionism is on the decline. Splits
have a developed
in the ranks of the modern revisionists; that unity of opinion, that existed at
first when they
launched launched the open struggle against Marxism-Leninism, exists no longer.
The modern revisionists did not and could not have a sound political basis, either
internally or
internationally, because the principles on which they have the developed and
continue to develop
their policy are anti-Marxist. The policy which they follow was and is a
capitulationist one,
accompanied with great demagogy. N. Khrushchev has exerted great influence through
his demagogy
in order to give the impression that the Soviet Union and the socialist camp had
attained such a
level of development and colossal strength, that it was possible to cope with the
hostile
activity of the imperialists through words alone. The purpose of this demagogy was
to cover up
the betrayal and hostile activity of Khrushchev and Co. But they made their
calculations and worked
out their plans without taking into account the counter-attack of the Marxist
Leninists. Therefore,
when the counter-attack by the Communist party of China, our Party, and the other
Marxist-Leninist
parties began, this whole revisionists-built "castle", foundered on their demagogy
and the holy
alliance on all matters with imperialism, was shaken.
It is a fact that Khrushchev's downfall is a result of the struggle waged by the
Marxist-Leninists.
This has put modern revisionism in a difficult situation and obliges it to try to
find a way out.
One of the current methods of the fight of the revisionists against us is to try to
stop the polemics
and struggle. Thus, what they want is that the Marxist Leninists should no longer
attack the
treacherous views and stands of the modern revisionists. Their desire and aim is to
stop the
polemics, because they have seen that the struggle of our parties is soundly based,
has exposed them
badly, has not ceased, and has not left them free to act and realize their plans.
Wherever they
have acted they have exposed their real features as anti-Marxists and
counter-revolutionaries in
the eyes of the Communists and the people's of the whole world. Therefore, all
their efforts now
are aimed at making us cease the polemics.
