Qur Tasks The conclusions of this antlysia aro evident; revolutionary Morxists oust concontrate thair efforta st the presont sto-c on defenso of the Viotnamoac revolution ond on orsanizction of anxinun effective sid to this revolution. To socure the victory of thia revolution; to chock the saccression of Jnertcan inporiclisn is tho sursat way of discourasing tha most ageressive forces of this inpericliam which droan of o preventive sttack againat the Chinese nuclear contora, It is algo the surest woy of giving to new rovolutiona in other ports of the world tho possibility of consolidstin: without boelne forced iomecdictoly to face. tho cortainty of a military intervention of Yanime inperialia. This ¢concontration of efforts implica in particuler: (1) The continution of tho offerte of revolutionary Marx ists to involve in the atrogele agninst tho wer of as reasion of inporialian in Vietnam the larvest possible mobilization of thé workers and anti-inperinlist movements. on the basia of 2 unitod front without oxclosion ond with ovary orgoniazction miintoinine ita risht of eritician within the united front. (2) The attompt to oronto eratywhoro where they sre not yet in oxistonce ad hoe orsanigetiona of strugztie nchinst the wor of paecrossicn of American. inperialiam ond of defonsa of the Vietnanesc revolution, organizntiena oble to respond imacdictely to new ata-o8 of the ascelation as for examplo tho recent benbing of Honoi and Heiphone, (3) The ottampt to involve progressively in the strugelo against the war of onzrossaion the ormanized forces of tho workers movement ond sii ah aie the trade-union movement on the besia of e sonuine wmited front without any con fusion of program with reforaiste, neorefernists, et pncovtinsiaseptn Minolats, ehees but with a coneontration of effort on the part of #11 militent forces in tha sfruggie against imperinlist agcrassion, (4) The attompt to internctionelize the strucele scainst the inparinlist wir Of sascrassion, bocinning with the countries or thea cevemonts which becanec of the aimilerity of chfiective conditions mk possible auch an affoctiva dntormitional (above «11 the students on a world asenle and tho youth orgmnigations on 2 Europenn senile).
(5) A etrong denunciation of the shameful role played in the wer by the
workera bureaucracies; particularly a reformist bureaucracy lika the
British, which act as shapeful agente of American imperialismy the Seviet
bureaucracy which gives limited aid and cannot find it possible to respond
to the escaletion even with the responses of ita old leader Khrushchev,
They are the only ones who have the technical maane that would enable the
heroia Vietnamese fighters to atop the imperialiat ageresaion; the Chinese
bureaucracy whose refusal of a united front with the USSR for the defense
of the Vietnamese revolution makes the deception of the Eremlin much
easier and accentuates the purely verbal character of ite denunciations of
the"Soviet-Amerioan plot" against the colonial revolution,
