Dear Jacques,

I understand the problems you are having in defending "god" Gonzalo. The 
problem is in fact, despite all the speeches you claim Gonzalo made or did 
not make is the fact that the PCP have has their ultimate political line in 
the stage theroy of revolution in Peru. 

And Gonzalo and his parrot Aldofo on this list have always had the line of 
making a deal with a wing of the Peruvian bougeoisie. As to whether it will 
be Fujimora or somebody else that the PCP makes the deal with is actually 
irrevelant. The point being that the PCP has a fundementally incorrect line 
on workers revolution.

And time will tell just *who* the PCP will make the deal with. Already 
Aldolfo is talking about a right wing coup to oust Fujimora thus opening the 
way for the PCP to make a deal with Fujimora.

Naturally there can be many twists and turns and the PCP with their theroy 
will sooner or later make the deal. That is the bottom line of this debate.

Against this line the Trotskyists call for Proletarian Independence from all 
wings of the bougeoisie in Peru. And that it is the working class and not 
the peasantry that is the revolutionary motor in Peru. Just as it is a 
maoist pipedream of the "Peruvian Revolution" because any serious attempt to 
organising the Proletariat in Latin America must be seen out of a 
revolutionary Internationalist perspective and not through the spectacles of 
the Stalinist theroy of "Socialism in one country" linked to making a deal 
with the local "progressive" wing of the Peruvian bougeoisie.

Now if you can take from a document or a speech where Gonzalo does not have 
the fundementally wrong perspective of finding a "progressive" wing of the 
bougeoisie in Peru to make a deal with. Then perhaps I could almost believe 
your whining. Unfortunately you can't and time will prove that Gonzalo and 
the PCP will make a deal. If not with Fujimori (which is a clear 
alternative) for the Stalinists and their stage theroy of revolution, then 
it certainly will be another wing of the bougeoisie in Peru. But my tip is 
that Gonzalo will make the deal unless a serious split in the Peruvian 
bougeoisie develops and a new hero comes from that the PCP can capitulate to.

So the basic problem is not whether it will be Fujimora or not. But the PCP 
line of looking for a wing of the bougeoisie to make the deal with!

Warm Regards
Bob Malecki
