THE STRUGGLE BETWi

China is at present in the grip of an
unprecedentedly crucial moment of the
sharp struggle between two lines: a
struggle between the line of Marxism-
Leninism and proletarian international-
ism and the line of anti-Marxist Mao-
ism and bourgeois nationalism, between
the Chinese Republic's socialist develop-
ment and the anti-socialist development
of China.

In the latter half of 1966, relying on
military units which he had deluded
and on the hungweiping. and ‘tsaofan
organizations that had been set up by
deceit and under pressure brought to
bear by him, Mao Tse-tung used the
screen of “cultural revolution” to launch
an anti-communist anti-popular counter-
revolutionary military coup and estab-
lish a personal reactionary military dic-
tatorship. At the close of July 1967 he
sent paratroops and warships to strike
at the bloody retribution against the
working people of Wuhan. He followed
this up by sending the 40th and 47th
armies and another five divisions against
the revolutionary workers and revolu-
tionary military units in Canton, caus-
ing enormous bloodshed among the
revolutionary masses with such heavy
weapons as artillery, tanks and so forth.
To this day Mao Tse-tung constantly
uses armed force against Communists
and working people now in one place
now in another. As a result, in the sum-
mer of 1967 a situation began to emerge
in China which could cause the counter-
revolutionary military coup to develop
into an anti-people’s civil war.

An unparalleled tragedy has over-
taken the Communist Party and the
long-suffering Chinese people in conse-
quence of the counter-revolutionary
crimes of Mao Tse-tung and his group.
The gains of the Chinese revolution are
threatened with total annihilation. The
building of socialism in China faces
complete collapse. :

In domestic policy the Maoists are
doing their utmost to drag China onto
the dismal road of political reaction,
economic chaos, cultural retrogression
and poverty. In foreign policy they use
all their resources to drag China onto

TWO LINES

the reactionary and dangerous road of
hostility for the Soviet Union and other
socialist countries, split the world com-
munist and working-class movement,
subvert the national liberation, social-
progressive and democratic movements
and also the world peace movement,
and provoke another world war.

At the same time thousands upon
thousands of Communists and Young
Communist Leaguers, workers, peasants
and intellectuals, officers and men of the
PLA and of the public security forces,
and foremost youth and juveniles have
selflessly risen against the Maoist
counter-revolutionary military coup and
Mao Tse-tung’s personal dictatorship.
They have risen in defence of Marxism-
Leninism, the Communist Party and the
legal state authority, in defence of the
gains of the Chinese revolution and the
cause of socialism. In contrast to Mao
Tse-tung and his group they aim to put
China, in domestic policy, on the bright
road of political freedom, economic
fluorescence, cultural progress and a
happy life, and, in foreign policy, on the
road to win progress, world security, on
the road of friendship, co-operation, al-
liance and mutual assistance with the

- Soviet Union and other socialist coun-

tries, the road of unity and co-operation
with the world communist and working-
class movement and with the national
liberation, social-progressive and democ-
ratic movements, the road of concerted
Struggle with all the peoples for world
peace, to avert another world war.

At the very outset of the so-called
“cultural revolution” Mao Tse-tung and
his group had openly proclaimed that
it was a life and death struggle be-
tween two roads, between two classes,
between two lines. Countless facts show
that the anticommunist, anti-Soviet, anti-
popular counter-revolutionary Maoist
group is indeed a “handful of people in
authority taking the capitalist road,”
that they are in fact championing the
interests of the bourgeoisie and pursu-
ing a reactionary, bourgeois policy.

The leaders and cadres of the Party,
state, military and mass organizations
who are in the front ranks of the anti-

Major crimes

committed by

Mao Tse-tung
in China

Maoist revolutionary struggle are the
real revolutionaries who are following
the socialist road, and they are indeed
championing the interests of the work-
ers, peasants and intellectuals and pur-
suing a proletarian revolutionary policy.

Judging by indisputable facts and on
the basis of my own experience gained
in the struggle against the thought and
policy of Mao Tse-tung in the course of
decades, I should like first and foremost
to say that the blame for the present
catastrophic state in which the CPC and
China now find themselves devolves pri-
marily on Mao Tse-tung, on his thought
and policy and his extremely self-cen-
tred, extremely careerist, criminal cal-
culations.

At first Mao Tse-tung and his group
shifted and dodged, claiming that Mao
Tse-tung was accomplishing only a “cul-
tural revolution,” whose purpose was to
“safeguard the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat,” “safeguard the socialist sys-
tem,” and “avert the restoration of capi-
talism.” They said that the “cultural
revolution” was aimed only at a “hand-
ful of persons in authority in the Party
taking the capitalist road” and “cham-
pions of the bourgeois reactionary line,”
only against “counter-revolutionary revi-
sionists,” “traitors” and so on.

However, facts are stronger than de-

‘magogy. They cannot be twisted. Let us

see what Mao Tse-tung is really doing.

TEN MAJOR CRIMES COMMITTED BY
MAO TSE-TUNG IN CHINA

1, He is trying to expunge Marxism-
Leninism from the minds of the Com-
munists and working people of China
and replace it with the anti-Marxist,
anti-Leninist thought of Mao Tse-tung.

He insists that the “thought of Mao
Tse-tung must capture all ideological
positions,” that the “thought of Mao Tse-
tung are the highest instructions in all
spheres of life,” that the “thought of
Mao Tse-tung are the absolute autho-
rity” and so forth, At the same time he

declares that Marxism-Leninism is “ob.
solete” and trumpets that “the world
has entered a new epoch—the epoch of
the thought of Mao Tse-tung.”

He has banned the reading of Marxist.
Leninist literature. He burns progres
sive Marxist-Leninist literature. He call
Marxism-Leninism “revisionism” or ‘dog
matism.” Earlier he had called Marxist
Leninists “dogmatists,” now he calls
them “counter-revolutionary revisionists
and persecutes and destroys them. He
has made the persecution and destruc
tion of Marxist-Leninists ideologically
politically, organizationally, spiritually
and physically the principal means of
eradicating Marxism-Leninism in China
Athough at times he is compelled to use
such an authoritative term as Marxism
Leninism as an honourable tag in the
sale of his sinister anti-Marxist, anti
Leninist “thought” in China and abroad,
everything he is doing proves that in
effect he is using the screen of Marxism
Leninism to destroy Marxism-Leninism
Actually he is replacing Marxism-Lenin
ism with the anti-Marxist, anti-Leninis
reactionary “thought” of Mao Tse-tung,

2. He is smashing the Communig
Party of China and preparing to re
place it with an essentially anti-Com
munist party which will be “Communist
in name only.

In a tatzupao written by him person
ally on August 5, 1966 he proclaimed
the slogan “open fire at the headquart
ers,” which was the signal for the rout
of the CPC. He crushed the CC CPC
that was elected by the 8th Congress of
the CPC. According to reports from vari
ous sources, of the 174 members and a
ternate members of the CC CPC neatlj
four-fifths have been subjected to -
pression. All the members of the Pol
tical Bureau of the CC and its Standing
Committee as well as of the Secretarial
of the CC, elected prior to the 11th Pl
nary Meeting of the CC, with the excep
tion of Mao Tse-tung and a few persomi
from his group, have been brutally per
