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

shchov’s revisionism is nothing but the continuation and developmentof Browderism and Titoism.Browder began to reveal his revisionism around 1935. Heworshipped bourgeois democracy, abandoned making the necessarycriticisms of the bourgeois government and regardedthe dictatorship of the bourgeoisie as a fine thing for Communists,his slogan being “Communism Is Twentieth CenturyAmericanism”. 1With the formation of the international and domestic antifascistunited fronts during World War II, he became obsessedwith bourgeois “democracy”, “progress” and “reason”, prostratedhimself before the bourgeoisie and degenerated into anout-and-out capitulationist.Browder propagated a whole set of revisionist views whichembellished the bourgeoisie and opposed and negated revolution.He declared that the Teheran Declaration of the SovietUnion, the United States and Britain ushered in an epoch of“long-term confidence and collaboration” between capitalismand socialism and was capable of guaranteeing “a stable peacefor generations”. 2He spread the notion that the international agreements ofthe Soviet Union, the United States and Britain represented“the most vital interests of every nation and every people inthe world without exception” 3 and that the perspective of innerchaos “is incompatible with the perspective of internationalorder”. Therefore, it was necessary to oppose “an explosionof class conflict” within the country and “to minimize, andto place definite limits upon” internal class struggled. 41Cited in William Foster’s History of the Communist Party of theUnited States, Eng. ed., International Publishers, New York, 1952, p. 337.2Earl Browder, Teheran, Our Path in War and Peace, Eng. ed., InternationalPublishers, New York, 1944, pp. 23 and 27.3Ibid., p. 31.4Earl Browder, Teheran and America, Eng. ed., Workers LibraryPublishers, New York, 1944, pp. 17 and 28.404
