The aggression of Russian imperialism against Ukraine
is an unjust war of aggression, the criminal aggression of an atomic superpower
against an oppressed country. Thus, the main contradiction of our time is
expressed again, the nations oppressed by imperialism, this is what is
happening and nothing else. Don't be confused.
The Third Plenum of the Communist Party of Peru rightly
stated that:
To see this, we must remember or re-study
what Chairman Mao says about the
contradiction (in volume I, on page 354 and following) :
" In a semi- colonial country like China, the
relationship between the main contradiction and the contradictions non-major
presents a complicated picture ” ; and raises three
possibilities: the first is " When imperialism
launches a war of aggression against such a country, all its various classes,
except for some traitors, can temporarily unite in a national war against
imperialism," that is the first, that
is, when the imperialists wage a war of aggression, they invade a country, then
obviously it is invaded, when Japan invades China, when Japan invades Korea, or
when the US invades Vietnam, or when the social-imperialism that led in the
USSR invades Afghanistan, there the contradiction is nation-imperialism, but
what makes the difference is aggression, it is going to conquer, to subjugate,
for its world interests whatever it is, that is, there is no revolution, that
is the third case, that is, when there is an aggression according
to its world conflicts, it attacks a country and seizes it, that is the first
case, he says ” . I
After discussing the other two possibilities, which are not
relevant here, Chairman Gonzalo concludes on the first possibility, summarizing
as follows:
“ … when imperialism invades, it
unleashes aggression without there being a revolution , that was a
predominant case in the previous century, which all the great powers did, and
it happens in this century when there is no revolution
but imperialism, because of its struggles hegemonic, leads to this,
this is how it happens.” me
Consequently, in the present case, the point is that, with
the Russian imperialist invasion of Ukraine,
the nation-imperialism contradiction has become the main contradiction in Ukraine. Therefore,
it is possible, and moreover necessary for us, that the different classes of
this country, except for a small number of traitors, temporarily unite in a
national war against imperialism. The complex situation between the
imperialist (super)powers, the oppressed nations and the rotten regimes of the
sellouts, in combination with the extensive propaganda of the different parties
involved, which has been going on for years, harbors the possibility of losing
the orientation. We must beware of this and clearly emphasize the class
character and the main contradiction without losing sight of the third
contradiction,
This war of aggression by Russian imperialism against Ukraine is the result of its struggle for
hegemony with Yankee imperialism after decades of encirclement of Russia by
Yankee imperialism, with its "allies" in NATO and its constant
attempts to destroy the capabilities Russian nuclear. This is the other
contradiction that is expressed in current developments, that is, the
inter-imperialist contradiction.
The direct invasion of Ukraine by Russian imperialism is the
consequence of a development that began with revisionist Khrushchev and the
restoration of capitalism in the former socialist Soviet Union – here the
transformation of Ukraine into a semi-colony of social-imperialism – up to the
collapse of revisionism and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, that is,
imperialist struggle, without revolution, without real independence, but only a
change of hands: a complex game of the different interests of the superpowers
and imperialist powers, oppressed nations and rotten regimes of traitors, the
corrupt, agents of the different powers, etc.
In the process that preceded the current war, it is clear to
all how the Yankee imperialists, in collusion with the British, French and
German imperialists, using Poland especially, subverted the Yanukovych regime,
initiated and led the Euromaidan, initiated and led the new Ukrainian regime
that pushed them further and further into conflict with Russia with all
possible means. Likewise, the actions of the Yankees and their "allies",
the ever-increasing encirclement of Russia, with the ultimate goal of
neutralizing its nuclear arsenal and finally bringing Russia to surrender, to
submission, have attacked Russian imperialism precisely through of these
Zelensky maneuvers. This threatened their own borders. The Russian
proposal for a spoils-sharing agreement last December was abandoned because the
Yankees, in their strategy against Russia, had more time to consider
the main internal developments in Russia, the positioning of different groups
of the different factions and groups of the ruling classes there, to wait and
see in this difficult and extremely tense situation, to record the results of
the latest developments. We repeat: imperialist Russia
is on the defensive because it has not had the recovery that they expected in
this century after the dissolution of the Soviet revisionist empire, in this
defensive situation they carry out offensive actions, as now with the invasion
of Ukraine,
in order to gain the initiative . This is a necessary condition so that
they do not sink further. the positioning of different groups of the

In this complex situation as described above, what we have
to do is make propaganda, “is that the people's war is the form that
corresponds to the revolutionary struggle. However, revolutionary wars or
armed struggles that are not subject to people's
war [ deserve our support ] as long
as they are not dependent on powers or superpowers. Some people tell us
how they are going to win if they don't have anyone's support. We do not
want that support because what it does is pass
us from one exploiting hand to another” (PCP, Putting the MRDP into
Action, November-December 1987) iii
We repeat: the invader is Russian imperialism, the prize in
dispute is the oppressed nation of Ukraine. We cannot and should
not accept it. Never. Therefore, it is fair to raise the just
anti-imperialist slogan: Death to the invader! We wish and support, first
of all, the defeat of the criminal Russian imperialist invader. At the
same time, we distance ourselves from the lackey regime of the Yankee
imperialists. We have no support for the Zelensky regime. In
addition, we consistently reject any interference or direct or indirect
intervention of the other imperialist powers.
The Ukrainian people must, can and will liberate themselves
by their own efforts, sweat and blood with the frank and unrestricted support
of the international proletariat and the peoples of the world. For this,
our class in Ukraine
must reconstitute its Communist Party as a militarized Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
Communist Party, heir to the great and glorious CPSU, the party of Lenin and
Stalin. Only such a party, opposed and opposed to all bourgeois
parties! – can really lead the national liberation struggle to victory as
part of the struggle for the (counter-restoring) socialist revolution and bring
the criminals stained with the blood of the class and the people to popular
justice. Our solidarity is with the Ukrainian people and their
resistance. Your weaponry is correct, necessary and important. They must
form their own military detachments. We defend the fraternal friendship of
the Ukrainian and Russian peoples against the chauvinists of “Great
Russia”. The Ukrainian and Russian peoples are brothers and as such they
were the winners of German fascism and the builders of socialism under the
leadership of Comrade Stalin. Our class in both Russia
and Ukraine
has the task of leading the proletarian socialist revolution as a
counter-restoration through people's war. But the proletariat and the
Ukrainian people have a task as an oppressed nation, which is to free
themselves from the yoke of imperialism, at this time to crush the Russian
imperialist invaders. The Ukrainian and Russian peoples are brothers and

In the face of the invasion of the Russian atomic
superpower, the masses in Ukraine
are mobilized and active, but they lack leadership and just and correct
leadership. Distinguishing true patriots from agents of foreign powers,
practicing independence, self-support and relying on their own efforts together
with the solidarity of the international proletariat and the peoples of the
world, practicing a correct united front policy with all those who they are
ready to fight against the invader and for the true independence of Ukraine,
the Ukrainian people will free themselves from the imperialist yoke. We
must vigorously support this drive of the masses. And to the comrades, the
true patriots of Ukraine,
we shout: take the weapons that are distributed, expel the invaders, and
conquer their weapons too. Then turn the war against the
sellouts and lead the establishment of a state of their own. Reject the
calls for help from Yankee imperialism, the only hegemonic imperialist
superpower, self-proclaimed world gendarme and main enemy of the peoples of the
world, its "allies" in NATO or the German, French and British imperialists,
especially their military. and economic support, because it is the
delivery of the country to other imperialists. Those who make this call
are not true patriots, they are simply agents of foreign powers. The fight
may be long and hard, but it will be victorious; it is the only form of
true patriotic war for an independent Ukraine. We must not let the
tiger enter through the back door when we fight the bear through the front
door. Reject the calls for help from Yankee imperialism, the only

At the same time, of course, the cynical and hypocritical
lies of the NATO leaders, who babble about a turning point that this war
supposedly represents, must also be exposed, for what peace have they brought
to the peoples of Yugoslavia, what peace have the masses in Donbass seen since
2014? Pax Americana means nothing but war, everywhere in the world,
including Europe.
They are shocked, they claim, but NATO, that is, the
Yankees, in the person of Joe Biden, have thrown Ukraine into Russian
imperialism. In the collusion and the fight, the struggle is absolute and
the collusion is temporary and relative, but above all the conspiracy in the
moment. Not surprisingly, the Biden regime is working on a military
hotline with the Russians, a “clandestine communication channel” between US
General Mark Milley, Russian General Valery Gerasimov and US General Tod
Wolters for NATO, to “ allow officials from both countries to
exchange information” iv .
The war itself does not mean that collusion no longer
exists. It still prevails at a general level, that is why we are not
facing a third world war, because no imperialist is in a position to start it
yet, because the strategic balance between the only hegemonic superpower, US
imperialism, and the atomic superpower, Russian imperialism, is still
exists; the period of world history of the struggle between the
imperialist masters and the struggle against them is not over yet. But in
any hot spot, like eastern Ukraine
today, the spark of World War III can be ignited.
According to Putin himself, Russian imperialism will not
conquer Ukraine: "At
the same time, our plans do not include the occupation of Ukrainian
territories" v . Why? Not
because he doesn't want to, but because he can't. It is
impossible! Let us realize the weight of the masses. No imperialist
power, no matter how much military arsenal it has at its disposal, can conquer
megacities without accepting huge human and material losses. And the very
internal situation of the Russian imperialists does not allow it. Let us
remember the ongoing disaster in Iraq and, in particular, the
victory of the Afghan people last year: 20 years of occupation and terrorist
bombings could not break the will of the masses to fight. Plus, there are
the lessons of World War II. Both sides, especially the senior officers,
also know each other from Afghanistan. Even
inside Russia,
as we see the emerging anti-war protests against the killing of brothers, the
Putin administration has only limited its room for manoeuvre.
This is the trap Putin fell into. A somewhat desperate
move to at least loosen the noose around his neck, in hopes of gaining
something. At best, a Russian Manchuko in the south and east of Ukraine, at
least a neutral buffer between him and NATO. After a week of war, it is
clear that there has been some miscalculation on the part of Russia. Things
are not progressing as fast as planned and expected, especially in the east,
and even if they claim air sovereignty, the Ukrainian regime can still carry
out at least isolated actions. Dozens of Russian planes and helicopters
are said to have been shot down, and even cruise missiles cost a
fortune. Furthermore, the Yankees and their accomplices appear to be
arming the Ukraine
for protracted urban warfare. In addition to the penalties,
Even if there is much talk of a turning point, the situation
in the world has not (yet) fundamentally changed, even with the unjust war of
aggression. We insist. However, the weakening of Russian imperialism
is not only playing into the hands of the Yankees and their accomplices. China could
benefit even more from this.
In the area of the economy, closer Sino-Russian
cooperation seems evident in the area of Russia's
raw material exports to China
and China's export of
semi-finished and finished products to Russia. The Chinese themselves
are celebrating the “de-dollarization” of Sino-Russian trade, which is boosting
the yuan tremendously vi . But
experts are skeptical about the importance of this for both dollar-dominated
economies. That is why the newspaper El País on March 3, 2021 published an
article in which it says that China
can offer Russia
a lifeline, but not save it. All these “de-dollarization” measures are
more propagandistic than effective, because the world order by which the
so-called dollar economy has been imposed is the order that emerged from World
War II, a new economic order can only emerge from a new world war , with a new
hegemonic superpower to replace Yankee imperialism. But we are sure that
in that case imperialism will no longer be able to exist because the world
people's war will sweep it away.
In the political sphere, we do see a neutral position of
Chinese social-imperialism on the war in Ukraine in the UN Security
Council. However, it sends “strong signals to the world that China-Russia
relations and trust are tangible and firm despite US-led Western attempts to
sow division between them using the crisis” vii . At
this point: “Xi said that China
supports Russia
in solving the problem…” viii . China and Russia
suffered a setback at the last UN General Assembly in confronting aggression in
Ukraine, where even many
African countries closely linked to social-imperialist China voted to
condemn Russian aggression. This makes it difficult for them to advance in
Africa.
The flood of weapons in Europe
is an interesting aspect of current developments, especially the uncontrolled
distribution of assault rifles in large numbers to anyone who can carry a
weapon, without registration or anything else. At the same time, further
militarization, especially of the EU and therefore mainly of the FRG. Germany's
European Commission President von der Leyen said: “For the first time, the
European Union will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and other
equipment to a country that is under attack. This is a defining
moment.” ix Turning
Point! The German Chancellor said something similar: “We accept the
challenge that is now presented to us… that Germany
supplies weapons to Ukraine
for the defense of the country. … To make it possible, the Bundeswehr
needs strong new capabilities … a large national company … Better equipment,
modern technology, more staff … 100 billion euros … Now, year after year, we
will invest more than two percent of our gross domestic product in our
defense. … the next generation of combat aircraft and tanks … are our top
priority.” X
There is a whole range of developments that should not be
ignored, which are more or less or not at all directly related to this
conflict. We must not adopt the media unilateralism of blindly focusing on
Ukraine: in the Central African Republic,
for example, four French soldiers from MINUSCA troops who were obviously
organizing a coup were captured. However, at the end of last week they had
to be released: "Under the agreement that governs relations
between the UN peacekeeping mission and the government, "we cannot hear
them before a judge and, faced with this obstacle, the prosecution decided to
proceed." without further diligence”, prosecutor Didier
Tambo.“ xi
In northern Syria,
according to reports confirmed by both sides, there have been military clashes
between the PKK-YPG-SDF Yankee mercenaries and Assad's troops at the service of
Russian imperialism, and the Yankee soldiers themselves are said to have been
directly involved. . xi
