If you now think that this was not done in bad faith, then it is at least sloppiness. Your May Day document converges exactly with this. There are those who seek to oppose Maoism through the denial of the People’s War as the universal military strategy of the proletariat, and they do so by counterposing it with the so-called “October road”.
Formulations in political documents express content, express politics, ideology and they are not, as art, subject to interpretation. That you now clarify that you (allegedly) meant otherwise does not change the correctness of our criticism. “Lenin demonstrated with the victory of the Socialist October Revolution that this is the only way to transform the imperialist war into a socialist revolution.” Again: “the only way”. For any reader in good faith who knows our writings (and the comrades do), it is also clear, by reading the complete quotation, that there is no opposition between the contributions of Lenin and those of Mao in our statement.” and this, unfortunately, is simply not true. You write “ i t is fully evident from our writing that by revolutionary theory we mean the Marxism-LeninismMaoism, including the Mao’s developments on the party related to the other two revolutionary instruments (the United Front and the People’s Army). This is a very bad way of conducting the internal two-line struggle and this has hereby become obvious to everyone. That you call this hysterical shows us that you are only trying to denigrate those within your ranks who converge with our positions or even agree with them completely. In the whole world and in all countries, that is generally our approach. Therefore, we understand our criticism rather as an encouragement for this left to take up the struggle. We are very concerned about the evils that are going on, but we know that the left will prevail, worldwide, also in Italy, also in your organization. Well, friends, maybe the tone is a bit harsh, but our critique is quite precise and in no way hysterical. You call our critique “ A hysterical attack to the Maoist Communist Party of Italy” and further you declare that it is a “ concentrate of insults, subjective judgments, arbitrary and vulgar criticisms, falsehood, without a precise political purpose except to attack our party”.
Proletarians of all countries, unite! Critique of the Maoist Communist Party of Italy, again
