1st October, 1999
marks the completion of 50 years of the victory of the Revolution in China which
had thrown out feudalism, imperialism and bureaucrat capitalism from China’s
soil.
It is in the course
of the unfolding of the great Chinese Revolution and later, the construction of
a socialist society in China, and the relentless struggle against the modern
revisionism of the Khruschovite clique internationally and Liu Shao-chi
internally that Mao Tsetung Thought has developed into the new and higher stage
of Marxism-Leninism. It is absolutely essential for revolutionaries to grasp the
universal significance of protracted people’s war that had developed in the
course of the Chinese Revolution; the experiences and lessons of socialist
construction and particularly the significance of the GPCR which is the concrete
working out of the theory of continuing revolution until the establishment of
Communism.
Today, when the
reactionaries and revisionists all the world over are claiming that Marxism and
Communism are dead; that revolutions under working class leadership have become
irrelevant in the present phase of globalisation; and boasting that capitalism
is the only viable alternative before the people, it is the bouden duty of the
Marxist-Leninist parties to widely propagate the great achievements of the
Chinese Revolution, the reasons for the set back leading to the restoration of
capitalism and the lessons to be drawn from the experiences of China.
People’s March
calls upon the revolutionary forces to launch a countrywide as well as
world-wide ideological-political campaign to bring out the significance of the
above on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Chinese Revolution.
