What is important is to have a clear vision of when does criticism 
originate in imperialist attack and when it does not.  One of the 
tragedies of 20th century revolutions (the Chinese one included) is 
that they have been forced to recoil around themselves by a most 
hostile and criminal enemy --the imperialist bourgeoisie.

One of the goals of this bourgeoisie has been to force these 
revolutions into repression of their own peoples in a generalized 
way, so that yes, more times than not we have been defeated and have 
muzzled out many voices which, coming from our own side, pointed out 
to a different way in the struggle (may I say that Trotksy's was one 
of the greatest of these voices?).

We have paid a heavy toll for all this, and I am afraid we shall keep 
paying a heavy toll in the future.  The sooner we stop doing so, the 
better.  But this is nothing either Patrick, nor Juriaan, nor myself 
nor in a very large extent Henry himself can solve.

Our duty is to be always aware of the basic issue at stake;  that 
imperialism is a global system, that it does not accept challenges, 
that it will attack with any weapons available any country attempting 
to break the perverted link with the Triad, that those countries 
which more or less manage to begin to do so are invariably poor 
countries (Venezuela an exception in a sense) with very few defensive 
weapons at hand, and that if we don't keep all these basic points in 
mind when we analyze the "repressive" character of a regime, we are 
unfair to it.
