 MIM: A REACTIONARY SECT AT THE SERVICE OF U.S. IMPERIALISM
                        Part 2 of 2

MIM openly attacks Lenin, Stalin, Mao and President Gonzalo, but
it does so under the subterfuge of defending them against an
"ultraleft" that can only exist in the heads of the individuals
in MIM. MIM lies when it writes: "The ultraleft tried to sow
confusion and attempted to stab the legacy of Lenin, Stalin and
Mao in the back by acting as if these great leaders did not enter
into negotiations with reactionaries of all sorts...". MIM could
well write that "Lenin, Stalin and Mao negotiated the revolution
with reactionaries of all sorts", in other words, they betrayed
the revolution. This is an absolute lie, this is plain
Trotskyism. MIM then covers up its Trotskyism by defending the
"legacy" of "these great leaders." But MIM presents negotiations
with reactionaries of all sorts as the "legacy" to defend. This
is a reactionary position; an attempt to deceive the masses and
spread the seeds of capitulation.

MIM goes further. It distorts President Gonzalo's positions and
attacks him: "These elements (the "ultraleft") implied that
Comrade Gonzalo would be automatically wrong to enter into peace
negotiations." Here's the role of MIM at the service of the
intelligence services. A "Maoist caricature" of Cointelpro. MIM,
ignoring actual objective conditions, suggests that it is
incorrect to completely reject the farce prepared and applied by
the CIA, through its puppet Fujimori government.

Then MIM accuses the "ultraleft" of an "attempt to restrict
Gonzalo's freedom of action and seeks to undermine his leadership
>from  abroad by going further in attacking more than necessary
the peace negotiations."  According to MIM, to expose, reject,
and counter-attack such a reactionary farce "restricts Gonzalo's
freedom of action and undermines its leadership". BUT WHAT
FREEDOM OF ACTION? It is clear to the whole world that President
Gonzalo is below ground in complete isolation, and in a cage in
prison, suffering continuous torture. This is the same argument
advanced by mercenaries and CIA agents, to make believe that
President Gonzalo requested a "peace accord" on his own "free
initiative." In addition, MIM states that the leadership of
President Gonzalo was undermined because of the successful
campaign in Peru and abroad, against the imperialist "peace
negotiation" farce; and that such an "anti-peace" was "more than
necessary."

MIM desperately tries to defame as "traitors" and "cops" those
who support the People's War, "traitors," because the
counter-revolutionary "peace accord" campaign MIM supported is
defeated, and "cops," because we have exposed MIM and its
"Sojourners" as counterrevolutionary agents. MIM objects to the
revolutionary advance in the United States through the work of
many groups with the MPP. MIM is taking the side of the
counter-revolution. MIM speaks the same words of the
reactionaries, and it openly promotes "peace negotiation." This
is MIM, a pseudo "Maoist" Organization, a likely creature of the
Yankee intelligence services now seeking to jump into a "world
mobilization commission" to legitimize itself and seeking to
split the Communist movement in support of the People's War. This
is not the revisionist CPUSA of Gus Hall. This is not a Trotskyst
Party SWP, and this is not the Republican Party. It is MIM! 

MIM slanders and attacks honest supporters of the armed struggle
in Peru. What is the ultraleft? When? How? and Where? MIM does
not back up with facts any of its illusions and allegations.
There is no such "ultraleft" within our ranks. If there is a cop,
surely it must be inside MIM. MIM's slanders against the PCP are
plain lies. On the other hand, MIM's political record is clear:
1) MIM supports capitulation and the CIA's peace hoax,
2) once  we defeated the capitulators abroad, MIM announced its
"suspension of support for the People's War,"
3) once we unmasked MIM's counterrevolutionary positions, MIM now
jumped into Arce Borja's "World Mobilization Commission." Truly
opportunist and reactionary political behavior.

Above all, people who support the revolution in Peru are
conscious of the fact that after 16 years of victorious People's
War, at present in strategic equilibrium and preparing the
strategic counter-offensive, with a system of Base Areas; with a
heroic PCP leading the victorious People's Army and People's
Front, and with increasingly bold international support, it would
be treason to negotiate a "peace accord" now for the benefit of
imperialism. It is obvious that the People's War is advancing
towards the Conquest of Power in the whole country, and the only
ones who want to stop it are the imperialists and reactionaries
in Peru and all over the world. For the PCP, there is no reason
to "negotiate peace." On the contrary, there is every reason for
the PCP to lead the armed struggle to complete the new democratic
revolution, and continue with the Socialist Revolution and
Cultural Revolutions, to reach Communism in Peru and the whole
world. These are the tasks, considering concrete conditions and
the situation as a whole.

Working people! Supporters! Comrades! Consider concrete
conditions and the situation as a whole, and remember what our
respected President Mao Tse-Tung clearly expressed: "To fight is
to survive, to make peace is to perish."

LONG LIVE PRESIDENT GONZALO AND HIS POWERFUL THOUGHT!
LONG LIVE THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF PERU! 
LONG LIVE THE 16th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PEOPLE'S WAR!
LONG LIVE PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM!
LONG LIVE MAOISM, DOWN WITH REVISIONISM AND IMPERIALISM! 

           May 1996.
Peru People's Movement (MPP.)
