THE SPEECH OF CHAIRMAN GONZALO!
XXXII ANNIVERSARY
Comrades of the Peruvian Communist Party!
Fighters of the Popular Guerrilla Army!
Peruvian people!:
We are living in historic times, everyone knows that this is so, let us not deceive ourselves. At this time we must put all our forces into tension to face the difficulties and continue to fulfill our tasks. And conquer the goals!; the successes! the victory! That is what must be done.
We are here as children of the people and we are fighting in these trenches, which are also trenches of combat and we do it because we are communists! Because we defend the interests of the people here, the principles of the Party, the People's War. That is what we do, we are doing it and we will continue to do it!
We are here in these circumstances; some think it is a great defeat, they dream! We tell them to keep dreaming. It is simply a bend, nothing more, a bend in the road! The road is long and with this we will arrive, and we will triumph! You will see! You will see!
We must continue the tasks established by the Third Plenum of the Central Committee. A glorious plenary! Know that these agreements are already in motion and that will continue; We will continue to apply the IV Strategic Development Plan of the People's War to Conquer Power, we will continue to develop the VI Military Plan to Build the Conquest of Power, that will continue. That is a task! That is what we will do, because of what we are and because of the obligation we have with the proletariat and the people!
We clearly say that the democratic path today has begun to develop as a path of liberation, as a popular path of liberation! That is the circumstance in which we are developing; we must think with a lot of historical sense, let us stop continuing to close our eyes. Let us look at reality, let us look at the history of Peru. Let us look at the last three centuries of Peru. That is what we must think, look at the 18th century, look at the 19th century, look at the 20th century; and understand them! Those who do not understand will be blind and the blind do not serve the country, they do not serve Peru!
We think that the 18th century was a very clear lesson. Think about this, there was a dominator, it was Spain, and that domination that sucked blood, where did it lead us? To a very deep crisis, as a consequence of that, Peru was divided. That is where the beginning of the current Bolivia comes from. It is not our issue but the facts.
Well, last century, English domination, where did it lead in its conflict with France? To another great crisis: seventies of the last century; consequence: war with Chile, let us not forget! And what happened? We lost territory. Our country suffers an earthquake, despite the blood shed by heroes and people, we must learn a lesson!
20th century, how are we? In this 20th century, there is an imperialism that dominates us, mainly the North American one, this is real, everyone knows it. And where has it brought us? Without even remembering those twenties, here and now, in the worst crisis in the entire history of the Peruvian people. Taking lessons from previous centuries, what can we think? Once again the nation is at risk, once again the republic is at risk, once again the territory is at risk, it can be easily lost, and for interests. That is the situation, that is what they have brought us to, but we have a fact, a Peruvian revolution, a people's war, and it continues and will continue to advance. Where have we arrived with that? to a Strategic Balance. And that must be understood well. It is Strategic Balance! that is concretized in an essential situation; have twelve years served for what? to clearly show the world and mainly the Peruvian people that the Peruvian State is a paper tiger, that it is rotten to the core. That has been proven!
Thus, let us think about the danger that the nation, the country can be divided, that the nation is at risk, they want to tear it apart, they want to divide it, who wants to do that? As always, imperialism, those who exploit, those who command. And what should we do? What is appropriate now? Well, it is appropriate that we strengthen the Popular Liberation Movement, and we will develop that by managing the people's war because the people, the people have always been the ones who have defended the homeland, who have defended the nation. It is appropriate to form the Popular Liberation Front, it is appropriate to form and develop, starting from the Popular Guerrilla Army, a Popular Liberation Army. That is what is appropriate! And that is what we will do! And that is what we are doing and that is what we are going to do! You will be witnesses, gentlemen.
Finally, now, let us listen to this. As we see in the world, Maoism is marching unstoppably to command the new wave of the world proletarian revolution. Let us understand it well and comprehend it! Those who have ears, use them. Those who have understanding, and we all have it, use them. Enough of nonsense, enough of darkness! Let us understand this! What is developing in the world? What do we need? We need Maoism to be incarnated, and it is doing so, and to start generating Communist Parties to manage and direct this new great wave of the world proletarian revolution that is coming to us.
All that they told us, the empty and foolish chatter about the famous "new stage of peace", what has become of it? What about Yugoslavia? What about other places? Everything has become politicized; that is a lie. Today the reality is one, the same contenders of the First and Second World Wars are generating, they are preparing the Third World War. We must know that and we as children of an oppressed country are part of the spoils. We cannot consent to it! Enough of imperialist exploitation! We must put an end to them! We are from the third world and the third world is the base of the world proletarian revolution, with one condition, that the Communist Parties uphold and lead. That is what must be done!
We think the following; next year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chairman Mao. We must celebrate the 100th anniversary! and we are organizing it with the Communist Parties. We want a new way, a celebration that is the conscious understanding of the importance of Chairman Mao in the world revolution, and we will begin the celebration this year and finish it next year; it will be a great process of celebration, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to greet the international proletariat, the oppressed nations of the earth, the Internationalist Revolutionary Movement.
LONG LIVE THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF PERU!
THE PEOPLE'S WAR WILL INEVITABLY WIN!
WE GREET FROM HERE THE FUTURE BIRTH OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PERU!
We say: GLORY TO MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM!!
And finally we say, HONOR AND GLORY TO THE PERUVIAN PEOPLE!!
