It is absolutely impermissiblefor them to substitute class collaboration or classcapitulation for class struggle, and social reformism or socialpacifism for proletarian revolution, or abolish the dictatorshipof the proletariat no matter under what pretext.If the leaders of the CPSU genuinely want unity and arenot just pretending, they should strictly abide by the revolutionaryprinciples of the 1957 Declaration and the 1960 Statement.It is absolutely impermissible for them to substitutetheir own Party programme for the common programmewhich was unanimously agreed upon by the fraternal Parties.If the leaders of the CPSU genuinely want unity and arenot just pretending, they should draw a sharp line of demarcationbetween enemies and comrades and should unite withall socialist countries, all fraternal Marxist-Leninist Parties,the proletariat of the whole world, all oppressed people andnations and all peace-loving countries and people in order tooppose U.S. imperialism, the arch-enemy of the people ofthe world, and its lackeys. It is absolutely impermissible forthem to treat enemies as friends and friends as enemies, andto ally themselves with the U.S. imperialists, the reactionariesof various countries and the renegade Tito clique againstfraternal countries and Parties and all revolutionary people,in the vain pursuit of world domination through U.S.-Sovietcollaboration.355
