Poor Dondero!

With 600.000 Fujimori troops plus the economic, logistic and military
backing of imperialism, in a country three times the size of France, he
thinks 40 guerilla actions a day is sufficient to overthrow a system in a
short time.

It is sufficient to shake up the country over a period and to prepare the
proletariat and the poor in the cities for the insurrectionary period that
most certainly will follow.  It is sufficient for imperialism and world
reaction to get panicky and use all means of combating, repressing and
SLANDERING the revolution - Dondero is just a cog in that machinery -
whether because his bourgeois mentality makes him a sure fire bet to
regurgitate the slime churned out by agents of the ilk of Carlos that comes
presented under a "left" seal of approval and sanctified by the clerical
reactionaries of AI, or whether he is himself a conscious agent of imperialism.

The people' war in Peru is indeed a powerful war, sustained in the face of
overwhelming odds and cruel repression, by the indomitable spirit of the
masses of the people. The People's War marches indeed forward on to victory.
But to expect this victory without the efforts - conscious efforts of the
proletariat worldwide in supporting and defending this revolution - no
ordinary "revolution" with which imperialism can live in relative peace,
since it represents the PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION - and that is intolerable for
the bourgeoisie at ALL TIMES - is to renege of PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM
and go to sleep in the arms of the class enemy.  Worse in the case of
Dondero, since his "SNORES" are full of counter-revolutionary
pro-imperialist sounds!
