Without winning the ideological struggle, political victory is not possible. That is why, the ideological struggle is fundamental.
It is not individual armed actions that will break the artificial balance and destroy the system. Armed action is only a tool. What matters is clarifying the people’s stand. Ideological struggle makes this possible.
Individual armed actions put the oligarchy in a difficult position, they serve to prove its weakness and contribute to the psychological dissolution of its cadres, but they do not replace the decisive blow or the final strike.
The more we arm the masses and turn them into a direct part of the revolutionary war, the deeper the crisis of the oligarchy will become, and the faster its total collapse will come.
The issue is not action itself—the issue is to educate, arm, and mobilize the people for war. The key point is ideological struggle and organization.
Armed action is only a means. The essential task is to clarify the people’s stance. Ideological struggle achieves this.
IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE CLARIFIES STANCES. SEPARATES RIGHT FROM WRONG. IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE IS THE POLARIZATION BETWEEN THE SYSTEM AND THE REVOLUTION
It shows that the path taken by opportunism and reformism is not the way forward.
It is the polarization of revolutionism.
It is the polarization between right and wrong.
It is the polarization between system-compliance and the struggle for power.
POLARIZATION MEANS DEEPENING CONTRADICTIONS, NOT SOFTENING THEM
Those who polarize, fight; those who fight, win. Polarization builds trust, increases awareness of legitimacy. Polarization pushes the enemy to retreat and brings tangible gains to the people’s ranks.
This is the essence of the statement:
Victory cannot be achieved without winning the ideological struggle.
THIS IS WHY IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE IS IMPORTANT.
The force that will defeat the enemy is never just military or technical power. That force is ideological power. If military technique alone were enough to defeat the enemy, no revolution would ever have succeeded until now.
And we would have to give up hope in future revolutions. But beyond hope, we have certainty that we will win. Those who bid farewell to revolution and the proletariat, both as individuals and as political lines, are rootless—they have not connected with the revolutionary roots among the people, nor with the historical roots of socialism.
IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE IS THE IRRECONCILABLE WAR BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG!
THE REAL WAR IS BETWEEN IDEOLOGIES!
STRENGTHENING IDEOLOGICALLY IS THE DUTY OF EVERY COMRADE.
