Proletarians of all countries, unite!
Long live the Day of Heroism!
On 19 June 1986, the prisoners of war – communists, combatants and masses
of the Communist Party of Peru – transformed the concentration camps of El
Fronton, Lurigancho and Santa Barbara into the shining trenches of the People’s
War in Peru against the cowardly planned genocide by the fascist APRA regime
headed by Alan Garcia.
The prisoners of war fought with determination and indomitable courage
against the police and armed forces sent to complete the reactionary genocide
and end the rebellion with the use of ground troops, naval and aerial
bombardment, dynamite, flamethrowers and all kinds of weapons. At the risk of
their own lives, the more than 300 prisoners won a great political, military
and moral victory for the class and the Communist Party of Peru, with
indomitable courage and heroism that only the people’s war can produce.
On the other hand the fascist government of Garcia Perez, his ministers and
the highest civil, military and ecclesiastical authorities, as well as the
revisionists were bloodily beaten and proved once again that the reaction
against the revolution will not hesitate to resort to the most horrible
genocides and violate all its own laws and international treaties in order to
save its system of oppression and exploitation.
The genocide was committed by the Peruvian reaction with the advice,
support and complicity of the Yankee imperialists, the Russian and Chinese
social imperialists, the German, French and Spanish imperialists, the Zionists
of Israel and with the special and extraordinary support of the social
democratic parties of that rotten and increasingly rotten “Second
International” headed by Willi Brandt, which was celebrating one of its
international conferences in Lima these days. These wretches were once again
the bloodthirsty chain dogs fed with the blood of communists and
revolutionaries, as in January 1919 in Germany with the murder of Rosa
Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht and other communists loved by the people and the
international proletariat. But as the experience of the world revolution and
the Peruvian one shows: Blood cannot drown the revolution, it nourishes it.
What does the day of heroism give us?
Morale and freedom. An invincible morale, as a result of the embodiment of
the ideology of the international proletariat – today Marxism-Leninism-Maoism,
mainly Maoism, with the universal contributions of Chairman Gonzalo. No matter
how deep and dark the dungeons, no matter how heavy the chains, this proletarian
morale shatters them.
The shed blood of the heroes testifies that and how insight into necessity
is real freedom and how by handling this, our freedom, reality can and will be
changed, how the impossible becomes possible, how we can and will conquer the heavens.
This freedom is diametrically opposed to the bourgeoisie, which knows
nothing higher than individual need, one’s own ego, at the centre of which must
be personal existence as a basic requirement. This break with the old is
decisive.
The new must assert itself, in us, in the communists, in those who have
sworn to unhinge this world, who will bury this old society and build the new
society. That is why the day of heroism is of such immense importance to us.
Obviously, in the people’s wars being waged today by Communist Parties, in
Peru, in India, in Turkey and in the Philippines, where every day Communists
and masses are giving their lives in struggle, even more so where new people’s
wars are being launched, where Communist parties and organisations are already
waging armed struggles, but especially where the old one threatens not only
corruption, torture and death, but rather the lure of a quiet life in peace,
promising a supposed way out to those who are receptive to it.
Long live the day of heroism!
