Revisionism in practice. 154 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,272 We rented this car at the airport in Prague. 155 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:09,959 We rented it from whom? 156 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,071 Just as in Moscow, Warsaw, Bucharest, 157 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,954 we rented it from an American company, 158 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,229 Hertz or Avis, 159 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,557 two branches of American banking or chemical trusts. 160 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,955 This car is a Skoda. 161 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,391 It was manufactured by the Skoda factory, nationalized in 1945 162 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,075 by the Czechoslovak popular democratic forces 163 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,112 after their victory over fascism 164 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,876 and with the support of red troops under comrade Stalin's leadership. 165 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,232 Therefore this Skoda belongs today to the Skoda workers, 166 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,317 and as a result to the Czech people 167 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,955 who took possession of the means of producing it. 168 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,312 But Hertz and Avis, both firms belonging to the imperialist camp, 169 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,670 don't rent cars out of goodwill. 170 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,076 They do it to make a profit. 171 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,555 Therefore Hertz and Avis have appropriated, deviously, 172 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,479 and with the complicity of the Czechoslovak leaders, 173 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,478 the overtime exacted by these same bosses 174 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,638 of the Skoda workers. The appropriation of surplus value 175 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,673 theoretically no longer existent, reappears.

The theses of Ota Sik and Liberman 179 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,679 have become those of Galbraith and Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber: 180 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,951 the free market needs slaves 181 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,471 and the slaves of revisionist countries are better-trained than others. 182 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,716 In August 1968, Russian tanks 183 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,878 wanted to smash the resistance of the Czech and Slovak people. 184 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,470 But they did an about-face in front of the kings of oil and Coca-Cola. 185 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,672 The new tsars surrendered to an old star: 186 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,952 advertising, number one star of the western economy. 187 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,879 Westernism in practice.

USSR, social-imperialism. 470 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,593 USA, Latin America. USSR, Eastern Europe. 471 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,989 The Soviet revisionists regard a number of coutries as their colonies. 472 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,794 Toward these countries, the new Soviet revisionist 473 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,629 counter-revolutionary tsars have adopted a policy of rape, 474 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,753 of economic pillage and politcal vassalage. 475 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,076 Thanks to their alleged economic aid 476 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,237 and self-styled military assistance, 477 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,195 Soviet revisionists have infiltrated like shameless foxes 478 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,277 into the countries' daily lives. 479 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,074 "To live among the people like a fish in water," 480 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,793 say the Chinese comrades. 481 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,311 "To hide in vans in order to spy on the Czech and Slovak people," 482 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,795 say the self-styled Soviet comrades. 483 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,433 Yesterday Czechoslovakia, 484 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,676 today Cuba, tomorrow Egypt. 485 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,270 Although revisionism is socialist in words, it is imperialist in practice. 486 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,073 By servilely bowing their heads, 487 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,078 by using Radio Moscow to drown out 488 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,432 the angry cries of their people, Czech and Slovak revisionists 489 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,473 have shown they are the truest allies of social-imperialism, 490 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,478 the truest allies of imperialism. 491 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,716 In a general way, we can say that 492 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,629 the revisionists cite in their support texts of Marx, Engels and Lenin 493 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,070 with the sole intention of lying to the people. 494 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,590 When the revisionists say socialism, 495 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,836 they mean social-imperialism. 496 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,758 When they say internationalism, 497 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,871 they mean social-colonialism. 498 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,798 When they say information, 499 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,752 they mean deformation. 500 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,235 When they say proletarian class stand 501 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,556 they mean bourgeois class being. 502 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,875 Therefore, third part: 503 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,550 to a picture of sickness, add a sound which is not sick. 504 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,909 Third part: 505 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,430 add the true sound to a false picture 506 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,950 in order first to find a true picture again. 507 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,310 That's what we're going to do now, Rosa. 508 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,035 Use the law of the unity of opposites, 509 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,108 discovered by Marxism-Leninism, in order to observe socialist society. 510 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,515 Managerial class. 511 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,870 Memorandum to administrators of the Party and State. 512 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,151 Our position in the life of the State and Party 513 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,396 means that if we are not careful 514 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,399 we risk falling into bad habits of bureaucracy 515 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,272 and granting ourselves special privileges. 516 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,472 Comrades, let's be careful, beware of being arrogant, 517 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,478 keep to our simple way of life, 518 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,671 banish flattery and egoism, 519 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,713 share the life of the people, refuse privileges. 520 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,558 Our practice ought to be guided 521 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,115 by the idea of whole-heartedly serving the people. 522 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,356 All we do should arise from the interests of the people, 523 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,392 and not a small privileged part of it. 524 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,193 This means several things. 525 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,278 Thinking of all problems in Marxist-Leninist terms. 526 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,870 Knowing the essential thing is not to understand the laws of the objective world 527 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,149 in order to explain it, 528 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,876 but to use knowledge of these laws to transform the world. 529 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,277 The knowledge of these laws is not gained solely from books, 530 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,834 but also from practice. 531 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,873 After we have acquired theoretical knowledge from practice, 532 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,470 we must verify the truth of these ideas through the actions of the masses. 533 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,479 To do that, we must apply democratic centralism. 534 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,832 We must solve the contradictions between centralism and democracy. 535 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,476 We must refuse to solve these problems by administrative fiat. 536 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,671 We must condemn unprincipled democracy. 537 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,394 Among the people, centralism and democracy 538 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,274 are two contradictory aspects of a single whole. 539 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:00,879 The search for this unity, 540 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,230 the unity of democracy and centralism, 541 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,476 the unity of liberty and discipline, 542 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,672 must be the main aspect of our leadership. 543 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,315 All controversies among the people 544 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,068 can only be solved through democratic methods: 545 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,351 discussion, criticism, self-criticism, 546 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,471 persuasion and education. 547 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,876 They cannot be solved by repression, 548 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,674 that is contrary to the people's interests. 549 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,269 Our other principle of practice is investigation. 550 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,790 We need to continually inquire within the masses 551 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,877 in order to modify our practices, 552 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,390 and bind ourselves every day more closely to the masses. 553 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,716 Not only are we unafraid of the people's criticism, 554 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,718 we must take it into account. 555 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,594 The people's criticism is the moving force behind our leadership. 556 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,835 If we don't want 557 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,678 revisionism to win, 558 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,474 we've got to master leadership based upon the principle: 559 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,796 "arise from the masses and return to the masses". 560 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,111 We cannot follow the example of Khrushchev: 561 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,198 undermining democratic centralism... 562 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,948 No longer think of subjectivity in terms of impression, 563 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,468 but in terms of class. 564 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,637 ...attacking comrades by surprise. 565 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,638 We ought to be modest and prudent, 566 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,478 take care not to be presumptuous, 567 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,275 practice self-criticism and have the courage to correct our errors 568 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,471 and the shortcomings in our work. 569 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,479 We should never claim for ourselves all merit, 570 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,275 and blame others for our faults, as Khrushchev did. 571 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,710 If we follow these principles in our work, 572 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,797 bureaucratic revisionism will be beaten, 573 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,311 things will become clearer and the future will be less gloomy. 574 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,112 Re-education of the intellectuals. 575 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,869 In order to mold administrators who will really serve the people, 576 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,470 the proletariat must assume the historic task of re-educating the intellectuals. 577 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,718 The process of the peaceful evolution of the dictatorship of the proletariat 578 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,639 into a revisionist clique in the USSR 579 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,718 teaches us that domination of bourgeois ideology 580 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,036 on the cultural level leads inevitably 581 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,437 to restoration of capitalism on the political and economic level. 582 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,392 Consequently, after taking power... 583 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,911 THE COMMUNISTS ARE BOTH 584 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,351 THE MOTOR AND THE TARGET OF THE REVOLUTION 585 00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:16,315 This proves that the re-education of the intellectuals is a major task. 586 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,592 Large numbers of workers must go into the university, 587 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,713 the theaters, the movie studios, in order to wage the... 588 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,751 ...ideological fight along the lines of struggle, criticism and transformation. 589 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,071 This will not only lead to a new phase 590 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,351 in the struggle against bourgeois ideology, 591 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,677 but will also speed up the process by which the working class 592 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,269 remolds the lives of the intellectuals into its own image. 593 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,278 Why call this re-education? 594 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,030 Because the intellectuals received a bourgeois education in the past. 595 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,676 Because in the present, the revisionist line of Dubcek-Brezhnev-Husak 596 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,270 has not educated them in proletarian ideas, but in bourgeois ones. 597 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,870 The intellectuals need to be educated in the proletarian conception of the world, 598 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,957 so that they reject the bourgeois ideas 599 00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,037 instilled by revisionist education. 600 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,912 That's the content of this re-education. 601 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,112 The re-education of the intellectuals remains a major problem 602 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,551 throughout the period of revolution and the building of socialism. 603 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,990 After seizing power, the proletariat 604 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,714 undertakes to recast the intellectuals in its own image, 605 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,356 to form a contingent of proletarian intellectuals in its own service. 606 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,358 This is an imperative for the consolidation 607 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,870 and development of the dictatorship of the proletariat. 608 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,071 An imperative for the proletariat's establishment 609 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,511 of its own dominant position in the ideological and cultural domains. 610 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,074 To carry out this task, 611 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,079 it is indispensible to undertake a radical revolution in education. 612 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,679 DOWN WITH THE NEW TSARS 613 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,075 Analyzing the Spanish student movment, 614 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,716 which has been reaching ever greater proportions, 615 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,468 the Spanish Marxist-Leninist communist party 616 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,671 has set the way forward. 617 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,791 We must take the following important measures: 618 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,038 Send students and teachers to production for a time. 619 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,470 Condemn the bourgeois theory of science beyond class, 620 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,149 and of abstract knowledge. 621 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,796 Pose, in everything taught, the question: for whom, against whom? 622 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,674 Fully denounce the self-styled most influential academics 623 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,996 involved in revisionist pursuits. 624 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,317 Multiply the number of working class propaganda groups in the universities. 625 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,957 AGAINST THE PETIT-BOURGEOIS SLOGAN "I ENJOY APPEARANCES" 626 00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,277 OPPOSE THE MARXIST-LENINIST SLOGAN 627 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,518 "LET'S MAKE OUR ENJOYMENT APPARENT" 628 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,678 Practice the method: struggle, criticism, transformation. 629 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,669 Not taking these measures means not acting in the proletariat's interests. 630 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,635 The proletariat will only free itself completely after having freed all mankind. 631 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,388 Proletarian policies must mark out a solution 632 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,636 to the masses and the intellectuals 633 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,480 and must strive to transform negative factors into positive ones. 634 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,070 We must undertake the re-education of the intellectuals from this point of view. 635 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,078 Adoption of this critical perspective should 636 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,557 permit those who have committed grave errors to admit and correct them. 637 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,877 As for the small minority of Party responsibles ultimately 638 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,878 following the road of capitalism, 639 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,718 we must concentrate our... 640 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,076 we must concentrate our hatred upon them, 641 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,749 for it is their revisionist line and education 642 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,270 which has poisoned our young intellectuals. 643 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,313 We must make a distinction between this handful of counter-revolutionaries 644 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,717 and the large majority of intellectuals fooled by this clique. 645 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,675 We must establish a clear distinction between two types of contradictions: 646 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,270 contradiction among the people, and contradiction between the enemy and us. 647 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,313 To resolve the contradiction between the intellectuals 648 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,158 and the dictatorship of the proletariat, 649 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,115 we must adopt the process: unity, criticism, self-criticism, unity. 650 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:13,915 The peasantry. 651 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,351 In the country of the Danube, many factions were fiercely fighting. 652 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,471 Lenin sided with the blacksmiths 653 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,957 because he believed only they could ensure the future of the country. 654 00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:25,231 One could ask them to give their utmost 655 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,239 and their activities were highly useful to their fellow men. 656 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,475 Lenin said: 657 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,558 "If the peasants alone redouble their efforts, 658 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,956 the harvest will increase by a very small amount. 659 00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:37,549 If, on the other hand, they are given a sufficient number of plows, 660 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,035 the result will be considerable." 661 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,278 At the time, there were two sorts of plows. 662 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,279 Some were made of wood in the old way, 663 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,676 others, which were newer, were made of iron 664 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,475 and were forged in large workshops belonging to powerful owners. 665 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,079 But there was only 666 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,590 a relatively small number of iron plows. 667 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,075 They cost a great deal, and could only be used profitably 668 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,669 over large tracts, and with the aid of horses. 669 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,552 The simple wooden plows, on the other hand, 670 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,037 could be built and drawn by the peasants themselves, but they only made 671 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,550 very shallow furrows in the soil. 672 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,719 These plows were used by poor peasants. 673 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,675 Moreover, these peasants had too little land to feed themselves. 674 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,030 They were often obliged to work elsewhere, 675 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,117 for wages on large estates. 676 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,676 Many peasant sons went to the towns to seek work in the 677 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,712 large metal factories, or in other workshops. 678 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,150 But only some of those whom the land could not feed 679 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,668 were fed by the towns. 680 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,076 The trade in plows was narrowly restricted. 681 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,590 Firstly, the large estates were few in number. 682 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,835 Secondly, 683 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,476 the iron masters had to keep the price of plows to a high level. 684 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,954 They increased their own profits 685 00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:44,390 not by increasing the number of plows sold, 686 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,274 but primarily by making the workers work longer. 687 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,518 The continuing flights of poor young peasants from the countryside 688 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,030 meant one could always find new journeymen, 689 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,799 working for low wages. 690 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,479 Great poverty reigned among them. 691 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,875 Helped by Lenin, 692 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,550 the blacksmiths drove out the iron masters and seized power. 693 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,876 Before the expulsion of the iron masters, 694 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,594 the poor peasants supported the blacksmiths. 695 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,474 Afterwards, the blacksmiths aided them in driving out the large landowners. 696 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,558 The poor peasants at once divided the land they had won. 697 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,070 Before coming to power, Lenin had taught it was necessary 698 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,828 above all else to provide iron plows to the whole country, 699 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,078 and many had understood he intended to do away immediately 700 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,395 with the small holdings. 701 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,074 However, 702 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,557 when he seized power with the help of the blacksmiths, he did the opposite. 703 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,957 He left the land to the poor peasants, 704 00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:32,231 as he had left the workshops to the journeyman blacksmiths, 705 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,839 allotting to each one 706 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,475 as much land as he could cultivate on his own. 707 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,320 In this way, he considerably increased the number of 708 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,273 plots of land too small for the use of the iron plow. 709 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,278 Only several large estates were taken over 710 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,710 and managed by himself and his pupils. 711 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,673 The philosopher Luxemburg violently reproached Lenin. 712 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:50,915 She said: 713 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,760 "Lenin is like all the others.
