Some principles of political and diplomatic relations between communist parties and organizations

Alavanca - Marxist-Leninist Movement

Some principles that all communist parties and communist organizations must follow in their relations with other parties and organizations.

We as communist parties or organizations have a duty to follow Marxist-Leninist principles in our political and diplomatic relations. In other words, where there is a communist party or communist organization, even if they are small, our duty is to prioritize relations with these parties or organizations and not with revisionist, social-democratic or bourgeois parties.

We have a duty in managing our political and diplomatic relations to contribute everything we can to creating or strengthening communist parties or communist organizations (aiming to found the communist party) that are truly Marxist-Leninist.

Our political and diplomatic relations have a responsibility, not only in our country Portugal, but throughout the world, to strengthen the truly Marxist-Leninist communist movement and combat revisionism and bourgeois forces.

But there is the exception that in the case of just struggles for national liberation, against colonialism and for the independence of truly oppressed peoples our duty to strengthen communists throughout the world may include cooperation with bourgeois forces of armed resistance in order for the communists of these oppressed peoples to gain popular support within this just struggle of armed resistance.
