As the train of events since the 20th Congress of the CPSUhas fully shown, the complete negation of Stalin by the leadershipof the CPSU has had extremely serious consequences.It has provided the imperialists and the reactionaries of allcountries with exceedingly welcome anti-Soviet and anti-Communist ammunition. Shortly after the 20th Congress ofthe CPSU, the imperialists exploited Khrushchov’s secret anti-Stalin report to stir up a world-wide tidal wave against theSoviet Union and against communism. The imperialists, thereactionaries of all countries, the Tito clique and opportunistsof various descriptions all leapt at the chance to attack theSoviet Union, the socialist camp and the Communist Parties;thus many fraternal Parties and countries were placed inserious difficulties.The frantic campaign against Stalin by the leadership ofthe CPSU enabled the Trotskyites, who had long been politicalcorpses, to come to life again and clamour for the “rehabilitation”of Trotsky. In November 1961, at the conclusion of the22nd Congress of the CPSU, the International Secretariat ofthe so-called Fourth International stated in a Letter to the22nd Congress of the CPSU and Its New Central Committeethat in 1937 Trotsky said a monument would be erected to thehonour of the victims of Stalin. “Today,” it continued, “thisprediction has come true. Before your Congress the FirstSecretary of your Party has promised the erection of thismonument.” In this letter the specific demand was made thatthe name of Trotsky be “engraved in letters of gold on themonument erected in honour of the victims of Stalin”. TheTrotskyites made no secret of their joy, declaring that theanti-Stalin campaign started by the leadership of the CPSUhad “opened the door for Trotskyism” and would “greatlyhelp the advance of Trotskyism and its organization — theFourth International”.In completely negating Stalin, the leaders of the CPSUhave motives that cannot bear the light of day.130
Stalin died in 1953; three years later the leaders of theCPSU violently attacked him at the 20th Congress, and eightyears after his death they again did so at the 22nd Congress,removing and burning his remains. In repeating their violentattacks on Stalin, the leaders of the CPSU aimed at erasingthe indelible influence of this great proletarian revolutionaryamong the people of the Soviet Union and throughout theworld, and at paving the way for negating Marxism-Leninism,which Stalin had defended and developed, and for the all-outapplication of a revisionist line. Their revisionist line beganexactly with the 20th Congress and became fully systematizedat the 22nd Congress. The facts have shown ever more clearlythat their revision of the Marxist-Leninist theories on imperialism,war and peace, proletarian revolution and the dictatorshipof the proletariat, revolution in the colonies and semicolonies,the proletarian party, etc., is inseparably connectedwith their complete negation of Stalin.It is under the cover of “combating the personality cult”that the leadership of the CPSU tries to negate Stalin completely.In launching “the combat against the personality cult”, theleaders of the CPSU are not out to restore what they call “theLeninist standards of Party life and principles of leadership”.On the contrary, they are violating Lenin’s teachings on theinterrelationship of leaders, party, class and masses and contraveningthe principle of democratic centralism in the Party.Marxist-Leninists maintain that if the revolutionary partyof the proletariat is genuinely to serve as the headquarters ofthe proletariat in struggle, it must correctly handle the interrelationshipof leaders, party, class and masses and must beorganized on the principle of democratic centralism. Such aParty must have a fairly stable nucleus of leadership, whichshould consist of a group of long-tested leaders who are goodat integrating the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism withthe concrete practice of revolution.131
