loving people. Naturally, they
helped to inflict a death blow upon
Fascism, which had come to the
fore as most dangerous enemy
and also to seriously weaken
colonialism and imperialism in the
world. They helped to advance the
struggles and peoples revolutions
in various countries of the world for
national independence, national
liberation and peoples revolution.
2.The contradiction and
conflict manifested between the
Germany-led Fascist bloc and
other imperialist powers at the time
of Second World War were only a
manifestation of inter-imperialist
contradiction and conflict. The
socialist forces, oppressed nations
and the genuine peace forces in
that period were sufficiently strong
and active. At the international
level, they had drawn a clear line
of
demarcation
between
themselves and imperialism and
could pursue revolutionary
strategy and tactics. As a result,
they could play an active and
independent role in the context of
Second World War and there by
further intensify the contradiction
and conflict between imperialism
and socialism; between imperialism
and oppressed nations; among the
imperialist powers and between the
forces of war and people. It is only
because of all these reasons, they
could foil the conspiracies and evil
designs of the imperialists to
destroy the socialist country, drawn
the struggles and revolutions of the
oppressed people in the blood and
push back the human progress to
decades of darkness; they could
inflict powerful blows on
imperialism and play a decisive role
in the struggle to save the world
from a stupendous calamityFascism.
3. There is a fundamental
change in the political character of
Russia. Today, it is a capitalist
country and imperialist country. So
its contradiction with US and other
imperialist powers is in the nature
of inter-imperialist contradiction. In
14
the present situation, it is operating
within the frame-work of collusion
and contention. It is a country with
a strength of weapons in size and
quality comparable with US
imperialism and it is aspiring for a
share in the position to deicide the
world issues. Its criticism against
the US attempt to impose its
hegemony over the world and its
clash with the US on some policies
are manifestation of this attitude
rather than anti-imperialism and
anti-hegemonism in true sense of
the terms.
4. The US imperialists, who
have emerged as the leader of
capitalist world, are implementing
the political, economic cultural and
military strategies aimed at
imposing their hegemony over the
world. Their acts of threat,
intervention, invasion and their
military blocs, alliances, groupings,
military bases and deployments
and their so called global war
against terrorism are only a part of
them. Naturally, the proletariat and
oppressed people of the world in
general and the affected people in
particular are very much agitated
at this development. The protests,
movements and resistances that
are growing in strength and
momentum in various countries are
only a manifestation of it. Gaining
inspiration from the great struggle
waged by the socialist proletarian
and oppressed people in the period
of Second World War will help to
lead the present struggle against
imperialism and hegemonism in
proper direction.
5. The Chinese proletariat
and people have a glorious history
of waging struggle against
feudalism and imperialism under
the leadership of Communist Party
and Mao. They foiled the
conspiracies and attempts on the
part of British and US imperialists
to gain control and perpetuate the
rule of their comprodars in China.
They waged a full scale
revolutionary war of resistance
against the Japanese militarists
who invaded China and had
succeeded in evicting them. The
New Democratic and Socialist China
remained as a source of great
inspiration and support for the
masse
