Proletarians of All Countries, Unite!

LONG LIVE MAY 1ST, DAY OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT!
UNITE THE PEOPLES UNDER PROLETARIAN LEADERSHIP AGAINST ALL THE IMPERIALISTS!

We should rid our ranks of all impotent thinking. All views that overestimate the strength of the enemy and underestimate the strength of the people are wrong.

(Chairman Mao Tsetung – The Present Situation and Our Tasks, 1947)

Historically, all reactionary forces on the verge of extinction invariably conduct a last desperate struggle against the revolutionary forces, and some revolutionaries are apt to be deluded for a time by this phenomenon of outward strength but inner weakness, failing to grasp the essential fact that the enemy is nearing extinction while they themselves are approaching victory.

(Chairman Mao Tsetung – The Turning Point in World War II, 1942)

“Just as no class in the world was able to seize power all at once, but only through a process of restorations and counter-restorations, when the proletariat takes power and establishes its dictatorship, the bourgeoisie’s zeal to restore capitalism and to recover its power will strengthen and open up a historical process of struggle between the proletariat to maintain and defend its dictatorship and avert capitalist restoration, and the bourgeoisie who wish to recover power.  This struggle between restoration and counter-restoration is an undeniable historical law until the dictatorship of the proletariat is definitively established(...). The experiences of capitalist restoration in the USSR and China leave us with great lessons, positive as well as negative; we should especially emphasize the gigantic steps forward in the formation of the New State and that the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is the solution to avert restoration.”

(Communist Party of Peru – INTERNATIONAL LINE)

The Peru People’s Movement, generated organ of the Communist Party of Peru, celebrating with revolutionary joy and optimism this First of May, Day of the International Proletariat, salutes the international proletariat and the oppressed peoples of the world who struggle against imperialist aggression in their objective of liberating themselves from exploitation and oppression. We salute the People’s War of Peru, led omnimodally by the Central Committee of the PCP; the people’s wars and armed struggles that raise the red banner of Maoism; the national liberation movements and armed struggles that fight the Yankee, Chinese and Russian superpowers and the other imperialisms and reactionaries. We salute the struggles of the masses for their immediate demands in the imperialist countries, like in France and other places.

Today imperialism as a whole, the three superpowers, US, China and Russia, as well as the other imperialist powers, finds itself in its general and final crisis. They are not strong, as the reactionaries, revisionists, reformists, etc., claim. Therefore, the imperialists find themselves in the inevitable necessity to carry out the new repartition of the world, through war. We find ourselves within the 50-100 years pointed out by Chairman Mao of the sweeping away of the imperialists and reactionaries from the face of the Earth. We are in the Strategic Offensive of the World Proletarian Revolution.

In order to avert revolution, the imperialists and reactionaries have the objective to decapitate the proletarian leadership of the revolution or prevent its formation. And in order to do this they push forward ideologies foreign to the working class, like “21st Century Socialism”, “multipolar world”, “Democratic Confederalism”, etc.; they create false Maoists, raising red banners against red banners and even resorting to fascism.

We reaffirm ourselves in what is demanded by the CC of the PCP:

1. Apply the slogan: May Maoism Assume Command of the New Great Wave of the World Revolution!
2. Resolutely combat all the anti-Communist activities of the reactionaries of the big bourgeoisie in each country.
3. Unite and mobilize all people’s organizations within each country that oppose the fascist rulers of the US, China and Russia, who contend for world hegemony.
4. Firmly apply the experience of the revolution of the International Proletariat which teaches us: That if a revolutionary people and a revolutionary army don’t fear the difficulties, if they struggle heroically and relentlessly against the enemy, they will win victory.

Together with our whole Party we take position for the historic role of the proletariat as the leading class which will unite the peoples and bury capitalism; that the struggle of the proletariat is not for begging for handouts from the bourgeoisie or to “improve” capitalism but to overthrow the exploiting classes, to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat and march with people’s war and cultural revolutions until Communism.

LONG LIVE MAY 1ST, DAY OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROLETARIAT!
LONG LIVE MAOISM, DOWN WITH REVISIONISM!
LONG LIVE CHAIRMAN GONZALO AND HIS ALL-POWERFUL THOUGHT!
UNITE AGAINST IMPERIALIST WAR AND FASCISM!
LONG LIVE THE WORLD PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION!
