LONG LIVE CHAIRPERSON GONZALO!
"We have constructed rails of steel heading towards communism: nothing and nobody can stop us; we are a machine of war."
"One of us may fail, but the Party will continue and our lives will inspire those who continue and the walk will continue until communism is established on the earth."
The evil armies of the reactionary Peruvian state have fallen upon our kind and well-loved Chairperson Gonzalo, upon the most important man of the present epoch, upon the continuing light of Marx, Lenin and Chairperson Mao. We will convert this blow into a redoubled force of our combat, thinking of Gonzalo and reaffirming once again our unbreakable revolutionary conviction on the brilliant and unstoppable path of the People's War.
Today all the reactionary sewers of the world press have reported the fall of President Gonzalo, pouring out crafty lies and deep hatred against him in their articles, attributing him with the responsibility for thousands of deaths. Hiding reactionary praise of rotten capitalism, imperialism, the most bloody and vile system that humanity has known, responsible for millions and millions of deaths, and spreading the news of the capture of our leader, silencing in their short-lived happiness the 60,000 children that die in Peru each year, provoked by the infamous Peruvian state of miserable hunger and unbearable oppression, and defending and exalting the shame of the government of rage of genocide seller-of-our-country Fujimori, faithful lackey of insolent North American imperialism and giant with feet of mud.
Arm ourselves well with the high thought of Gonzalo
Gonzalo Thought has shaped the majority of years of the struggle. It is a result of the application of the true universal ideology of the proletariat to the Peruvian reality. It has transformed into an invincible arm that directs the potent People's War of Peru with its legions of armies that shake with thunderous actions the old Peruvian state in demolition and constructing on its rubble of rubbish the future People's Republic of Peru that the struggling masses watch with exultant delight.
Chairperson Mao said: "In difficult times, we should bear in mind our successes, look at our bright future and increase our courage" and Chairperson Gonzalo has organized us to conquer whatever storm: "our life is to fight, to fight more, to fight more, precisely this is happiness..." and "the molding of communists is thus in turbulencies and difficulties, never in calm thick soled shoes." To have absolute conviction that the People's War will deal the final blow for the democratic revolution and this distance of blood and victory that remains will culminate by bringing the PCP to power; therefore, the sky will split open because "we will crush the bourgeoisie; we will bury imperialism, it and all its partners and lackeys."
The glorious coming and going of more than 12 years of People's War, guided by Chairperson Gonzalo and his steely thought, has generated the three powerful instruments of the revolution: a highly unified and cohesive party, a victorious People's Guerrilla Army with thousands of fighters, and a new state that rises vigorous and defiant against the world, all these are indestructible, because our People's War is an irreversible process that one encounters with the shudders from the !strategic equilibrium!, that prepares the passing into the strategic offensive. Our Party can not be paralyzed ever. We have a Base of Party Unity: Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought; Program, General Political Line, a Plan of Strategic development and a Strategic Plan of Construction, with plans that adjust and continue following the orientation of: strategic centralizations and tactical decentralizations and a united Party with these elements is indestructible and furthermore Chairperson Gonzalo has told us: "Look towards this: the leadership could be disappeared, in part, not all, but the leaders that remain ought to and can follow the plans, the struggle, the People's War; we are forged in that the revolution will not stop, will not be paralyzed..." and Chairperson Mao taught: "we recognize our deaths, tend to our wounds and continue fighting."
Long live Chairperson Gonzalo! Long Live Gonzalo Thought! Long Live the Glorious Communist Party of Peru! Glory to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
