The Distinct Presence of the Communist Movement -A Resolute Agent in the Development of the Movements
The joint action of communists must find its expression within the ranks of the mass movements, of international mobilizations.
The formation of a distinct communist pole, the joint action and cooperation of communist parties will boost the effort to build a strengthened international anti-imperialist movement which will be based on the movement of the working class, the movements that express other popular strata, the movements for peace and against war, the movements of the youth, of women, as well as every other form of mobilization that has a progressive radical direction.
The internationalization of the struggle against imperialism cannot acquire a mass and especially a stable character if it is not based upon a distinct and powerful communist pole which, once established, can become an impetus for the positive influence of the peoples on international developments. This will also provide a sound basis for a broader anti-imperialist alliance.
The people’s answer to the strategy of imperialism, to contemporary barbarism, takes many and varying forms. Nevertheless, the popular struggles would be more effective if they succeeded:
The policy of imperialism attacks the right of every people to decide their country’s social and political system without foreign intervention.
The development of the anti-imperialist and anti-monopoly movement mainly depends on confronting the serious problems that characterize the international communist movement today. It also goes hand in hand with the course of the trade union movement that also finds itself in a period of turmoil.
As a result of this situation and as long as the international communist movement does not confront its crisis and does not project its own distinct presence, a series of other forces under the direct influence of international social democracy will try to divert these movements into the trap of class-collaboration and into the concept of a capitalism with a human mask.

The people’s answer to the strategy of imperialism, to contemporary barbarism, takes many and varying forms. Nevertheless, the popular struggles would be more effective if they succeeded:
- in combining their forces in the struggle against monopolies and imperialism on a national, regional and international level.
- in struggling resolutely against the forces of capital, on all fronts of action and intervention: In the economy, in social rights, in culture, against military, economic and political interventions.
- in elaborating political demands and means of struggle by the movement of the working class and its allies, which are defined by the historical position of imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism, that respond to workers’ contemporary needs and which project the historical necessity of the transition to socialism.
