Book Review: The Challenge of the Kampuchean Revolution
Besieged by Soviet-Vietnamese imperialism cloaked in patently fraudulent and self-serving apologetics, the Kampuchean revolution today is the time-tested crucible of revolutionary internationalism. Depending on one’s attitude to Democratic Kampuchea’s resistance, one’s political commitment can be defined as progressive or reactionary in word and deed.
Today it is the Communist Party of Kampuchea headed by Pol Pot that all-sidedly incarnates the dynamic principle of materialist dialectics: people’s war. Po…
“Peace came to Cambodia on the morning of April 17, 1975.” So begins an article in the February Reader’s Digest entitled “Murder of a Gentle Land.” The story claims to be the first true account of what’s really going on inside Cambodia since the US and its puppet regime of Lon Not were defeated. But the first sentence is about the only truthful statement in the article, which is made up of lies…
What is life like in Kampuchea (Cambodia) today? What have been the activities of the Communist Party of Kampuchea during the last 17 years through which its existence has been secret? How did the Kampuchean people succeed in defeating U.S. imperialism?
The answers to these and other questions were given in a historic press conference held by Pol Pot during his recent visit to China. Pol Pot is the Secretary at the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) and the Prime Minister of its government.…
The DC has been asked to take the lead in the effort to better understand Mao Zedong's Theory of the Differentiation of the Three Worlds (TTW). This paper is the first of 3 or 4 to be distributed before we hold a London meeting on the subject in late November. The national conference on the international situation is to be held next June, and our district-level study will be well directed in preparation for…
While the Hanoi authorities have long harbored the ambition of annexing Democratic Kampuchea - and indeed other neighboring states - this would have remained a mere fantasy had -Vietnam not had the support and patronage of the expansionist great power, the Soviet Union. Thus, the aggression against Kampuchea was carefully planned by both Vietnam and the Soviet Union, as the following facts…
The 9th-15th century kingdom of Kambuja stretched from the Burmese border in the west to the South China Sea in the east--including what is now southern Vietnam. Invasions of the kingdom by the Thais and Vietnamese weakened this ancient civilization and eroded its territory. In the late 19th century, the French imperialists established a "protectorate" over Kampuchea and, in 1887, merged their…
I have read the lengthy articles you wrote for the Daily Mirror on September 12 and 13 attacking the government of Democratic Kampuchea led by Pol Pot. You repeat many of the lies invented by Father Ponchard in his infamous book Cambodia Year Zero. You even use the same phrase "Year Zero" repeatedly. You really should have taken the trouble to read the works of well-known academics and opponents of US aggression in Southeast Asia, such as Naom Chomsky, Jan Myrdal, and Malcolm Caldwell. …
The Korean Central News Agency reports that Comrade Kim Il Sung, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, sent a message to Comrade Pol Pot, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kampuchea and Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea, on December 27.
In his message Comrade Kim Il Sung said: "The Korean people…
Over three years after the U.S. imperialists and their war machine were driven out of Indochina, the area is still plagued by bloodshed and open warfare.
For over thirty years the peoples of Vietnam, Cambodia (now Democratic Kampuchea) and Laos fought side by side against the French and then the U.S. imperialists. Their victories were not only a tremendous material blow against the imperialists, they were an inspiration to people everywhere struggling for their liberation. Th…
After crossing the border from Thailand in the back of a pick-up truck, we traveled five or six miles into Kampuchea on dirt roads that had been turned into ribbons of mud by the monsoon rains. Looking out over the jungle, we saw no villages and no obvious signs of life.
Suddenly we were mired in a mud pit, the truck’s wheels spinning uselessly. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, ten Khmer Rouge soldiers appeared in crisp green uniforms and pushed us out onto firmer ground. This was our introduction to Democratic Kampuchea.…
The forced expulsion of one million Indochinese refugees by the Vietnamese authorities is a shocking tragedy, one of the worst acts of genocide in the 20th century. Yet it is not the first time that hundreds of thousands of people, robbed of their possessions and persecuted by a militaristic, expansionist regime, have been forced to flee their homelands. People around the world are drawing obvious parallels with the mass exodus of Jews from Nazi Germany in the 1930’s.…
Imperialism and the Revolution, a book written by Enver Hoxha, is an all-round attack on the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism. It is the latest in a series of polemics coming from Albania since the November 1976 Seventh Congress of the Party of Labor of Albania (PLA), which has Hoxha as its chairman.1
These polemics have been directed against the Communist Party of China (CPC), particularly…
Dangrek Mountains, Kampuchea – Day breaks in a banyan forest. The sound of tropical birds mingles with the soft sunlight to offer the visitor a picture of unparalleled calm and tranquility.
Yet not 20 miles from here, Vietnamese armor is rolling and guerrillas are staging hit-and-run tactics against it. This is Cambodia, or what the people here call Kampuchea. It is a nation that has known little…
In December of 1977 both Kampuchean and Vietnamese sources publicly reported for the first time heavy fighting in their border regions. At first most of the U.S. news media insisted on dubbing the conflict a “border war.” In form, of course, it was a border war. In the Parrot’s Beak and the eastern zones of Kampuchea, Vietnamese troops had penetrated as deep as 30 kilometers into Kampuchean territory. Ka…
“I left Phnom Penh for the guerrilla base in 1968, not to return until April 17, 1975, when our liberation forces entered the city. On that day, I was greatly moved; I knew that our victory had finally solved the problem of equality for the people.”
These were the words of a veteran guerrilla fighter, just 32 years old, as he told us of the great offensive which finally liberated Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia) from the U.S. imperialists and their Lon Nol puppets. To…
A trove of more than 500,000 US diplomatic cables from 1978 released by WikiLeaks, which includes hundreds that paint a vivid picture of a US administration torn between Pol Pot’s government and fear of Vietnamese influence should it collapse.
“We believe a national Cambodia must exist even though we believe the Pol Pot regime is the world’s worst violator of human rights,” reads a cable sent by…
The counterrevolutionary position taken by the Party of Labor of Albania (PLA) in a lot of fundamental issues facing the world proletarian revolution makes it mandatory for all genuine communists and revolutionaries of the world to establish firm and clear lines of demarcation with this formerly revolutionary party. The PLA has come out with an all-out attack against great Chairman Mao Zedong who…
The Kampuchean Communist Party and Government Delegation visited the People’s Republic of China on September 28. This visit had particular importance because it marked the 17th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Democratic Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia) and came on the eve of the 28th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
On Jan. 8, following a 6-day offensive by 100,000 Vietnamese troops ending in the capture of Phnom Penh, a puppet Cambodian group claimed “complete control” of Kampuchea (Cambodia), although, in fact, they only had the cities. The government of Kampuchea headed by Premier Pol Pot has taken to the jungles to wage guerrilla warfare against the invaders.
The serious illness of Yugoslavia’s President Tito has aroused grave concern around the world. His impending death will mark the end of a generation of national leaders who directed the struggle against Hitler fascism during World War II. It could also represent a signal to today’s warmongers to launch a new offensive against this Balkan country whose independence Tito never compromised.
Joseph Stalin, a great leader of the Russian revolution. Because Stalin’s name was virtually synonymous with the cause of the Soviet Union when it was a revolutionary country, he was widely slandered and attacked by capitalists everywhere. He became perhaps the most vilified revolutionary in history.
On this, it is a good opportunity to take a brief look at who he really was and what he represented.…
Eighty-five years ago, in the face of World War II, Leon Trotsky worked hand-in-glove with the Hitler fascists. He attacked the antifascist front from the "left" while the ruling circles in the West attacked it from the right.
Enver Hoxha’s legacy continues to be used to push a divisive agenda amid the increasing threat of global conflict. His book, Imperialism and the Revolution, still…
Cuba’s pose as a “non-aligned” country has been discredited lately as numerous non-aligned nations have exposed and condemned the Cuban government’s role as an agent for the interests of the Soviet Union.
On June 21, Zaire’s President Mobutu Sese Seko declared in a nationwide speech that his country will boycott the non-aligned summit scheduled to be held in Havana next year. Mobutu denounced the…
Many socialists may already be somewhat familiar with Marx’s general view of society and his overall class stand as well as something about his life’s work struggling for a communist world.
What may not be as widely known is that Marx and Engels’ view of the international situation in their day (the latter half of the 19th century) was the forerunner of the theory of three worlds, developed under today’s conditions by Mao Tsetung.…
For more than 100 years, Latin America has been considered the “backyard” of U.S. imperialism.
But in the past decade, this legacy left over from the Monroe Doctrine has begun to crumble. For the first time, U.S. imperialism is facing a serious contender in its colonial domination in the region–the USSR.
Facing the revolutionary movement of the masses on one side, the U.S. is being pushed out…
One good way to refute the U.S. government's lies against Democratic Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia) is to examine Washington's own propaganda.
This is exactly what The Call has done. A Call reporter recently got hold of an official State Department manual of "evidence" against the newly-liberated South-east Asian country. Included in this volume, prepared for the UN, are accounts from refugees as well as a number of Airgram reports from CIA and U.S. embassy staffers in Thailand.…
Press reports emanating from both superpowers have been filled recently with slanders against Democratic Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia). One by one these lies are being torn apart by visitors and honest journalists in the region. A recent example was exposed by the journalist Marcel Barang, writing for Australia's Nation Review. Barang visited the scene of last summer's "massacre" of Thai villagers by "Cambodian communists" which were reported at great length in the Western press. …
In December 1978 a League delegation visited Democratic Kampuchea, just a few days before the Vietnamese invasion. In this article, the delegation answers questions many people are asking about Soviet interests in this part of the world and about the changes that have led to Vietnam’s becoming an aggressor.
The military aggression against Democratic Kampuchea early this January and its occupation by more than ten heavily Soviet-equipped Vietnamese divisions shocked the whole world.…
Written: By Saloth Sar (aka Pol Pot), using the pseudonym "Khmer Deum" (Original Khmer) in 1952.
On June 15, 1952, S.M. Norodom Sihanouk dissolved the government and, at the same time, threatened to dissolve the People's Assembly if it opposed the takeover. This royal coup stirred the whole country and makes us, the citizens, think about its causes.
It is a gruesome sight that the news now brings into our living rooms with almost nightly regularity: the spectacle of Kampuchea (Cambodia) virtually starving to death. In living color we see the emaciated children, the diseased adults too sick to move, the frightened refugees who have escaped the war by crossing the border to Thailand.
For many Americans, such scenes evoke a strong desire to do something to help bring an end to the misery of this far-off country. But what can really be done?…
