“...the prisoners of war, like the great masses of history, go on winning battles beyond the grave, because they live and fight within us, conquering new victories. We feel their vigorous and indelible presence shining and palpitating, teaching us today, tomorrow and forever how to give ones lives for the Party and the revolution.”
Glory to the Day of Heroism!
Chairman Gonzalo
The prisoners of war of the shining trenches of combat of El Frontón, Lurigancho and Callao, with their great exploit, the Day of Heroism, made a mark that shall remain indelibly stamped on the annals of the world proletarian revolution. At that time, June 1986, imperialism, the fascist and corporative government of Alan García and all the reactionaries muddied up to the neck in their macabre alliance, dreamt of making a crushing blow against the People’s War. They thought that with the extermination of the prisoners of war, the People’s War would not be able to pick itself up, and dreamt about a massive surrender that they could make the prisoners of war kneel down, even make them yield and make them renegate their Communist conviction. Far from that, the opposite occurred; the world witnessed of the most beautiful song of conscious rebellion, of absolute unselfishness and of challenging death that the prisoners of war had made as a response to the most demented cruelty that the armed forces and police forces have perpetrated in the entirety of American history.
The crucial point for understanding the significance of the 19th of June has its root in the importance of maintaining at all costs the class morale on high. That is to say, the conviction of those up in arms, of those who raise the banners of revolution, of maintaining the flags of rebellion until the end without lowering them, cost what it may. They may defeat us in many battles, there may even be big defeats, but we must never lose the morale of the definitive triumph of Communism. The road is sinuous but the future is bright, what we must see is the historical development and its perspective. We must bear in mind that to date, neither the ideology of the proletariat nor people’s war have been defeated, from which comes the statements “the undefeated ideology of the proletariat” and the “invincible people’s war.” The reactionaries themselves recognize that Communists have never lost a war when they have stuck to their principles. For that reason it is important to understand the meaning of the class morale: It signifies the conviction that the future is a Communist one and that the struggle that is being unleashed in the very bowels of the old world is carried forward by the new men and women that revolt against the old system, and that they are the best children of the people precisely because they have understood the necessity of fighting to bury the old society, the necessity of organizing the masses; because if the masses are not organized on the basis of ideological and political construction given by the Party of the proletariat, the Communist Party, with the methods and style of the proletariat and creating the forms of struggle and organization that are necessary to unfold the world people’s war, it will not be possible to even think about the overthrow of imperialism, much less in the establishment of the dictatorship of the dictatorship of the proletariat on a world level, and furthermore it couldn’t be carried to its conclusion: The extinction of classes and with them the state, parties and armies.
This is the central content of how the combatants of the shining trenches of combat continue to win victories beyond the grave, because they are a victorious clarion call that continues convoking the masses to rebellion with the certainty and conviction that come what may, Communism shall be imposed as a necessity of matter itself. That is the class morale that must not be injured to date, because Communists understand that one can deviate from the ideology, but not negate it. They could never pull betrayal from the nerves of a combatant armed with the light of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought, because really they have embodied the principles of Marxism. It doesn’t matter how many leaders fall, but the morale of the class is more important than any passing outcome, because the world revolution is at stake. Anything else is revisionism, that is to accommodate momentary personal interests. Revisionism is capitulation.
That is why when the prisoners of war of the shining trenches of combat gave their lives fighting, they watered the revolution with their blood and nourished it to the point that after this occurred, there was a major incorporation of the masses into the People’s War. Great leaps were achieved in the development of this: The Congress, the Open People’s Committees and the Strategic Equilibrium. It didn’t end with that, their victories after death continue imperishably, because their blood is fused with the very development of matter.
The genocide against the unarmed masses is inherent and a substantial part of any counterinsurgency strategy. The reprisals and terror are aimed to annihilate leaders and separate the revolutionaries from the masses. For that reason, when the revolution is advancing the reactionaries hurry to counterpoise their defeats by attacking the unarmed masses in a cowardly fashion, launching genocides against the political prisoners and prisoners of war.
Imperialism and all reactionaries think that they can drown the revolution with rivers of blood. Reaction aims at annihilating leadership not only to exterminate the leaders and combatants, but more importantly they aim to injure the class morale.
With their great exploit the prisoners of war have also stamped an always-living and accurate blow against all the revisionists who, like the right opportunist line (ROL), have attempted to sell out the revolution for a plate of beans. For this reason the celebration of the Day of Heroism also has a concrete meaning, it is a fight against the ROL, against capitulation, against revisionism, and as such against all convergences, for example the case of convergences that imply doubting the Great Leadership of the Party and the revolution, Chairman Gonzalo. These tend to de-center the principal task of imposing Maoism as the command and guide of the world proletarian revolution, that have the same sense of injuring the class morale because it tries to avert the New Great Wave of the World Proletarian Revolution that we are entering into today. But in this case as in others, the red line, along with all those combatants who have watered the revolution with their blood, shall emerge ahead and make the organizational leap that the revolution requires.
Lately we can see clear signs that imperialism, reaction and revisionism, faced with the unstoppable advance of the People’s War, try to create the conditions to apply their sinister plan of assassinating Chairman Gonzalo. For that reason: “We denounce the sinister plan of annihilation underway of our Great Leader, of leaders, cadre and militants, combatants and masses who have remained firm and unbreakable as prisoners of war in persisting and following the path, the sole path of the People’s War. Political prisoners and prisoners of war, primarily the latter, are condemned to fascist inhuman prisons of slow death, prisons like human freezers that are worse than the concentration camps of German fascism. We say to them that all they have done and continue to do, all the barbaric and savage genocide executed by sinister, criminals, butchers and military and police torturers shall not go unpunished.”
Chairman Gonzalo and his all-powerful thought is the unfading light that continues fighting unbreakably from the highest trench of combat.
In conclusion we make a call to the international proletariat and the people’s of the world to put all forces in tension to take concrete steps that lead towards strengthening the defense of the life of the greatest living Marxist-Leninist-Maoist on the face of the Earth, Chairman Gonzalo.
LONG LIVE CHAIRMAN GONZALO!
