Marxist-Leninists, Unite!

Resolution of the Brussels Federal Committee of the Belgian Communist Party

A Reply to the “Open Letter” of July 14, 1963 Published in Pravda


XIII. LET US UNMASK REVISIONISM

The lie is the usual weapon of revisionism. The “open letter” is nothing but a chaotic heap of lies. We have drawn attention to a few of them.

In Belgium the spokesmen of Khrushchov have got us used to these procedures. The revisionists cannot honestly explain their position to the working class and the workers. In the attempt to camouflage their activities they pour insults and slanders on the revolutionaries. They are moving more and more openly to collaboration with the imperialists in their persecution and repression of the Marxist-Leninists.

But they will act in vain. They cannot prevent the triumph of the truth, nor can they block the irresistible advance of the world’s socialist revolution.

It is precisely because the class struggle is sharpening that imperialism is growing increasingly unsteady and the revisionists are forced to unmask themselves.

The fight against modern revisionism and classical reformism is an indispensable condition of the working class and the labouring masses being able to carry on effectively their struggle for their immediate claims, for the defence of democratic liberties, against the danger of war and against capitalism. For even stronger reasons it is indispensable for assuring final victory.

The current objective situation is excellent for the world’s revolutionary forces.

All the conditions are combined for the world socialist revolution to achieve new successes and decisive victories.

This means that it is both possible and essential to defeat revisionism!

Let us hold high the banner of Marxism-Leninism and of the revolutionary principles of the Declaration of 1957 and the Statement of 1960!

Marxist-Leninists will not fail in their task.

Modern revisionism will be defeated despite the complicity of the bourgeoisie and the support of the Khrushchov group.

Communists of the Brussels Federation; Let us strengthen our mass political action on the basis of the resolutions of our extraordinary Federal Congress in June.

Communists of the other federations: we greet the results of your Marxist-Leninist actions. The moment has come to eliminate revisionism, the liquidator of our Party.

Militant revolutionary workers, reinforce our ranks!

Marxist-Leninists, unite!

Long live the Communist Party of Belgium from which we will drive out revisionism! Long live Marxism-Leninism!

Proletarians of all countries and all oppressed peoples, unite!

Brussels, August 15, 1963
