True, Yugoslavia was <strong>on</strong>ce a socialist state. For a time thecountry advanced al<strong>on</strong>g the path <strong>of</strong> socialism.But so<strong>on</strong> after, owing <strong>to</strong> the Ti<strong>to</strong> clique’s betrayal, the Yugoslavsocial system began <strong>to</strong> degenerate step by step.In 1954, when Khrushchov proposed <strong>to</strong> improve relati<strong>on</strong>swith Yugoslavia, we agreed <strong>to</strong> treat it as a fraternal socialistcountry for the purpose <strong>of</strong> winning it back <strong>to</strong> the path <strong>of</strong> socialismand watching how the Ti<strong>to</strong> clique would develop.We did not entertain very much hope for the Ti<strong>to</strong> cliqueeven then. In its letter <strong>of</strong> June 10, 1954 <strong>to</strong> the Central Committee<strong>of</strong> the CPSU, the Central Committee <strong>of</strong> the CPCpointed out that the fact should be taken in<strong>to</strong> account that asthe leaders <strong>of</strong> Yugoslavia had already g<strong>on</strong>e quite far in theirdealings with imperialism, they might reject our effort <strong>to</strong> winit over and refuse <strong>to</strong> return <strong>to</strong> the path <strong>of</strong> socialism; “but eventhough this should occur, it would not involve any politicalloss <strong>to</strong> the camp <strong>of</strong> peace, democracy and socialism — <strong>on</strong> thec<strong>on</strong>trary, it would further expose the hypocrisy <strong>of</strong> the Yugoslavleaders before the people <strong>of</strong> Yugoslavia and <strong>of</strong> the world.”Unfortunately, our words have proved all <strong>to</strong>o true! Indeedthe Ti<strong>to</strong> clique has flatly rejected our effort <strong>to</strong> win it over andg<strong>on</strong>e farther and farther al<strong>on</strong>g the path <strong>of</strong> revisi<strong>on</strong>ism.After it refused <strong>to</strong> sign the 1957 Declarati<strong>on</strong>, the Ti<strong>to</strong> cliqueput forward its out-and-out revisi<strong>on</strong>ist programme in 1958 andset this banner <strong>of</strong> modern revisi<strong>on</strong>ism against the 1957 Declarati<strong>on</strong>which is the comm<strong>on</strong> programme acknowledged byall Communist and Workers’ Parties. The process <strong>of</strong> res<strong>to</strong>ringcapitalism in Yugoslavia has been realized step by step.And internati<strong>on</strong>ally, the Ti<strong>to</strong> clique is serving more and moreenergetically as a counter-revoluti<strong>on</strong>ary special detachment<strong>of</strong> U.S. imperialism.In these circumstances, the attitude every <strong>Marx</strong>ist-LeninistParty should take <strong>to</strong>wards the Ti<strong>to</strong> clique is no l<strong>on</strong>ger the <strong>on</strong>eit should take <strong>to</strong>wards a fraternal Party or a fraternal country,nor should it be that <strong>of</strong> winning the Ti<strong>to</strong> clique over, but itshould be <strong>on</strong>e <strong>of</strong> thoroughly exposing and firmly combating176
