Soviet, anti-communist, anti-democratic, and anti-popular leader, the
enemy of all small peoples, is none other than Chamberlain. . . .
7. OUR REVOLUTIONARY POLICY
DURING THE SECOND STAGE OF THE WAR
In conformity with the peculiarities of the second stage of the
war, what should the revolutionary policy of the proletariat be, and
especially of the Communist Party?
In my opinion, it should be the following:
FROM MARX
TO MAO
1. In all the imperialist countries participating in the war,
⋆
we must call on the people to oppose the imperialist war, make
clear the imperialist nature of both warring camps, treat them
all as the same kind of robbers. In particular, we must oppose
English imperialism, this robber chief, incite the people not to
allow themselves to be deceived by the imperialist robbers, carry
out propaganda among the people, in order that they may transform
the imperialist war into a revolutionary civil war, and establish
a united popular front against the imperialist war. . . .
2. In all the neutral countries, such as America, the members
of the Communist NOT Party should FOR reveal to the people the imperialist
policy of the bourgeois government, which calls itself
neutral but in reality aids the war and seeks to enrich itself in
the war. . . . COMMERCIAL
3. In all the colonial and semi-colonial countries, the policy
to follow is that of the national united front, either to resist the
invader (as in China), or to oppose the mother country (as in the
case of India), DISTRIBUTION
in order to attain national independence. . . . In
all the colonies of countries participating in the war, we must
oppose the actions of the traitors to the nation who support the
war waged by the mother country, oppose the mobilization of
the people of the colony to participate in the war on the front of
the other country, remind the people of the colony of the misery
they suffered during the First Imperialist War. In the colonial
and semi-colonial countries, if we do not oppose the traitors to
the nation there is no hope for the movement of national liberation.
