Polemic on General Line of International ... - From Marx to Mao

to Marxism-Leninism. In the international communist movement,we have contacts with revisionists; why then can wenot have contacts with Marxist-Leninists? The leaders of theCPSU describe our support for Marxist-Leninists in othercountries as a divisive act. In our opinion, it is simply a proletarianinternationalist obligation which it is our duty todischarge.Fearing no difficulty or tyranny, upholding truth and daringto struggle, Marxist-Leninists in all countries have demonstratedthe great revolutionary spirit of communist fighters.Among such heroic fighters are the Belgian Communists representedby Jacques Grippa and other comrades, the BrazilianCommunists represented by Joâo Amazonas, MauricioGrabois and other comrades, the Australian Communists representedby E. F. Hill and other comrades, the CeyloneseCommunists represented by Premalal Kumarasiri, NagalingamSanmugathasan and other comrades, and the many Marxist-Leninists both inside and outside the Indian, Italian, French,U.S. and other Communist Parties. They have made importantcontributions to the common world proletarian cause byupholding the revolutionary theory of Marxism-Leninism, byworking persistently to build revolutionary vanguard partiesof the proletariat armed with Marxist-Leninist principles,and by persevering in the revolutionary line that conformswith the fundamental interests of the proletariat and otherworking people of their own countries. They deserve the respect,sympathy and support of all people fighting for thevictory of communism throughout the world.In short, whatever the country or place, where one findsoppression, there one finds resistance; where one finds revisionists,there one finds Marxist-Leninists fighting them, andwhere one finds expulsion of Marxist-Leninists from theParty and other divisive measures, there outstanding Marxist-Leninists and strong revolutionary parties inevitably emerge.Changes contrary to the expectations of the modern revision-347
