February 17-18th 1968, West Berlin i he Vietnamese people struggle for independence and socialist demoiy aun the eer at of US imperialism, and in West Boriin, the oe tries, as an accomplice of US imperialism, to punish as Se ee =. of solidarity with the Vietnamese people's strurrle for freedom and to yepr it with police terrorism, Representatives of the West European socialist youth ; representatives of the American resistance movement and represents of the revolutionary youth of the Three Continents gathered in West Berlin to express their solidarity with the Vietnamese people's struggle for freedom and to discuss common action in the struggle against US imperialism. The National Liberation Front of South Vietnam has raised the revolutionary people's struggle to a new level in a major offensive. its military successes are based on the intensification of the struggle hy the wnole Vietnamese people. These successes prove the capability of revolutionary freedom movements to defeat counter-revolutionary aggression carried out by the gigantic destructive apparatus of a great industrial power. Before worid public opinion and the population of the USA, all the reports and prognoses of success given out by the counter-revolutionary leadership are exposed as lies, With the successful offensive of the revolutionary freedom forces, the danger of further geographical and military escalation of American eggression grows, It is to be feared that US imperialism, forced into the defensive, will see& to escape through the use of atomic weapons, In this situation, the opposition movement in the capitalist countries must raise its struggle to a new level; it must increase and intensify its actions and make them more concrete. The oppositionmvement is in the process of transition from protest to political resistance. Today, US imperialism is trying, through NATO, to integrate the metropolitan countries of Western Europe into its policy of colonial counter-revolution, But the independence struggle of the peoples of the Third World sharpens the contradictions between and within the imperialist countries, These contradictions must be analysed and exploited. The military -co-operation between the leader of the colonial ccunter-revolution, the USA, and the West European countries must be broken; its agency, NATO, must be destroyed, The struggle against US aggression in Vietnam must, at the same time, be a struggle against the imperialist policy of the capitalist countries of Western Europe. A second revelutionary front can only be opened in the metropolitan countries, if the anti-imperialist protest movement learns to understand and exploit politically the contradictions cf modern capitalism, and to take up the strugrie for revolutionary solutions in factories, offices, universities and schools, The representatives of West European socialist youth, of the American resistance movement and of the revolutionary vouth of the Three Continents who gathered in West Berlin, agreed to carry out the following actions in order to make concrete their combined anti-imperialist struggle and to develop it into active resistance: 1) In 411 West European coun'ries, the campaign to give material support to the armed freedom forces of the NLF of South Vietnam will be continued and strengthened on a broad hasis,
