The fact that the world cormunist moverient is split in the fuce of world reuction is the single biggest f: ctor holding buck the struggle for national liber:tion and sociul advance, The relationship of forces is in four of the advance of national liber:.tion und socizlisn, The defeuts suffered by progressive forces in the last few yeurs (Indonesia, Ghana, the Congo, Middle E.st, etc.) hve all stermed fron disunity. The Week supports ncither the Soviet Union nor China in this situution, It considers thi:t-the leaderships of both countries hive subordin:.ted the interests of world revolution to those of their own sti.te interests (us they see then). The Soviet Union's erphasis on pe.ceful co-existence with U.S. imperialism, and China's refusal, for fictional reasons, to join a united front in defence of Victnan are equally reprehensible. However, one country puts a line of internationalicn: Cuba, Cuba is a mere ninety niles from the United States, it has an American base on its soil, it is constantly hurried by the C.I.A. ond American-financed emigres, itis . threutened with invusion by the Ancrican stooge organisntion, 0.A.S., and it has been blockaded for over six yeurs. Despite all this, it does not flinch in the fuce of Anerican threats. The line of the Cubans, summed up in Guevara's furous + nessage to the unti-inperiulist tri-continental conference, is thet to help ti: the world-wide struggle against American imperialism "we should create one, two, three, or nore Vietnans." This is not enpty tulk, us Guy. ra showed by giving up his own life. If the internutional communist movement were to adopt the revolut— ionury line of the Cubans, the counter-revolutionary offensive of Arecrican inperialisn would be defeated. The Cuban experience is living preof that the best way to fight for peice «nd to udvance revolution is to udopt a firm line towards imperialism. All over the world, the youth support the line of the Cubans, on the great October 22nd demonstration in Lendcn, thousunds of young people chanted pro- Cuban slogans,und badges ond portraits of Guevara were everywhere, The Week asks British communists to consider the Cuban case and get their party to support it, GanA FAT 2 eauMnla raAnrwT Af Ma Weale. 7?) fNwnelacau Q+nAarmc.
