From the contribution of the CPP to the 6th Conference of the

International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and

Organizations

�In some respects, we are in a period similar to that prior to World

War I and the October Revolution. But the economic and social crisis of

the world capitalist system is once more stirring up in an unprecedented

way the contradictions between the imperialists and the oppressed

peoples, between the monopoly bourgeoisie and the proletariat in the

imperialist countries and among the imperialist powers themselves.�

�No new conditions indicate the possibility that the proletariat in

imperialist countries can seize power, without armed revolution and

without the conditions of inter-imperialist war and anti-imperialist wars

of liberation in the backward countries. The unprecedentedly higher

concentration of economic and political power in the hands of the monopoly

bourgeoisie should dispel the illusion that it shall fall on its own accord or

that through parliamentary struggle the proletariat in the imperialist

countries can run ahead of the proletariat and people in the semicolonial

and semifeudal countries in seizing political power.�

�They learn how to fight by fighting. The life-and-death struggle

requires them to arouse, organize and mobilize the masses and build the

Party, the people�s army and the united front. When errors are committed,

these can be rectified 1through timely criticism and self-criticism and

through a comprehensive and profound rectification movement.�

�As we leave the 20th century, we recognize that imperialism,

revisionism and reaction have intensified the basic contradictions between

capital and labor, between the imperialists and the oppressed peoples

and among the imperialists. In general, we are certain that greater battles

and greater victories are ahead for the proletariat and the people in the

21st century.�

�International conferences and seminars of Marxist-Leninist parties

and workers� movements are important for illuminating the road of advance

in the world proletarian revolution and for increasing the coordination of

revolutionary struggles of independent Marxist-Leninist parties.�
