In the old continent we are witnessing profound changes in the social arena. There are deep divisions in the labour front: antagonist contradictions, discrimination, and arbitrariness...
A systematic activity has been carried out continuously for decades to destroy the proletarian ideology. Political organisations, trade unions, state institutions have been subject to a radical transformation. And they are breaking away from the masses even more.
Ambition for power has caused the "left" of the centre parties to cling on to the programme of finance capital.
All parliamentarian parties are making all their efforts to prevent the development of class struggle and to restrict it with the laws of the bosses.
Opposition, revelations and protests have been condemned to a weak and marginal status. They have been deprived of the instruments of organisation, of expressing opinions and taking a stance.
The fact that institutions lose their representative capacity day by day and submit ever more to the "multinational" oligarchy is being accompanied by the "new" form of imperialism, which is mistakenly being called as globalism.
Reformist parties in general have neither tried to become an alternative against the economic aggressiveness of capital internationally, nor have they taken a self-critical stance on the historical collapse of the anti-Leninist revisionism. They have got closer to the anti-communist camp.
The reformist practice of over 40 years has not given a positive education to the masses; it has also made Marxism-Leninism, the science of class struggles, stagnant and frozen. Thus, while those sections of workers' movement have supported the social democratic illusion, petit bourgeoisie, on the other hand, have been thrown into Guevarism, anarco-syndicalism and even into adventurism.
The end of the bipolar world (USA-USSR) has eradicated the need for the Khrushchevite and euro-communist parties, and prepared the conditions for those unlimited fierce attacks on the working people, called liberalism.
Leaning on the disaster of globalism, the most fierce form of the universal dictatorship on waged people, various reformist parties in Italy and Western Europe have left alone not only the productive sections of the petit bourgeoisie of the town and the country, but also those defenceless broad sections of the working class, foreign workers.
Now in many countries discontented people, protesters, those who do not go to the ballot box constitute the biggest party. In the meantime, neo-fascist racist parties are succeeding in getting on their side the reaction of those who have the least of economic possibilities and who consider their existing rights under threat.
As was the case in France in recent times, the defeat of the socialists and the rise of the national fascist Le Pen show that the reactionary forces manipulate national sentiments and even workers' demands.
While parliamentarian foolishness has been taking the revisionist parties into liquidation, the collaboration between the oligarchy and the labour aristocracy leads to the neo-fascist demagogy becoming more effective in the ranks of the proletariat.
In the old continent, the weakness or lack of a United Proletarian Front, a United Democratic Front, lies at the roots of profound problems of the working class movement.
Methods and forms of political existence are becoming useless due to ideological sectarianism, bureaucratic approaches to the relations with the class, and rightist deviations in the trade union work. Parties' political activities, their agitation and propaganda work are becoming bureaucratised from the beginning and from the top. We have forgotten, to a certain extent, that political struggle in the ranks of the workers comes to life and develops in the course of the class struggle, that they develop their tactics in practice, in the movement itself.
Marxist-Leninists know that they must be present physically in the areas where social struggle is sharpest, and on all levels of democratic revolutionary movement.
The Marxist-Leninist movement must become more profound in the theoretical plane, benefiting from the lessons of its glorious past, and holding high especially the flag of Stalin and Enver Hoxha.
Revolutionary forces in different countries where there exist concrete conditions for radical class struggle are having an institutional and relative political practice, behaving in such a way that as if according to the Leninist doctrine there was no need for the movement to go through a qualitative change in terms of forms and level of struggle in order for these forces to have a qualitative development. Thus, there emerges a gap between the actual process and the declaration of principles, which means the abandonment of the principle of unity between theory and practice.
