will be ground <strong>to</strong> dust. As Comrade <strong>Mao</strong> Tse-tung has repeatedlypointed out, imperialism and all reacti<strong>on</strong>aries arepaper tigers, and the revisi<strong>on</strong>ists are <strong>to</strong>o. However rampantand overbearing they may be, “heroes” representing reacti<strong>on</strong>aryclasses and reacti<strong>on</strong>ary forces are actually paper tigers,powerful <strong>on</strong>ly in appearance; they are <strong>on</strong>ly fleeting transientsso<strong>on</strong> <strong>to</strong> be overwhelmed by the surging waves <strong>of</strong> his<strong>to</strong>ry.Khrushchov is no excepti<strong>on</strong>. Just think <strong>of</strong> his inordinatearrogance in the days when he viciously attacked Stalin and<strong>Marx</strong>ism-Leninism at the 20th and 22nd C<strong>on</strong>gresses, and whenat the Bucharest meeting he launched his surprise attack <strong>on</strong>the Chinese Communist Party which upholds <strong>Marx</strong>ism-Leninism. But it did not take l<strong>on</strong>g for this anti-Soviet, anti-Communist and anti-Chinese “hero” <strong>to</strong> meet the same fate ashis revisi<strong>on</strong>ist predecessors.

Although Khrushchov has fallen, his supporters —the U.S. imperialists, the reacti<strong>on</strong>aries and the modern revisi<strong>on</strong>ists— will not resign themselves <strong>to</strong> this failure. Theseogres are c<strong>on</strong>tinuing <strong>to</strong> pray for Khrushchov and aretrying <strong>to</strong> “resurrect” him with their incantati<strong>on</strong>s, vociferouslyproclaiming his “c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong>s” and “meri<strong>to</strong>rious deeds” inthe hope that events will develop al<strong>on</strong>g the lines prescribedby Khrushchov, so that “Khrushchevism without Khrushchev”may prevail. It can be asserted categorically that theirs is ablind alley.Different ideological trends and their representatives invariablystrive <strong>to</strong> take the stage and perform It is entirely up491
