p In these three days of intense work, in this city of Calcutta, we have confirmed and strengthened our conviction that class struggle has deepened in all the corners of the globe as a consequence of the concentration of riches in the hands of a few and miseries for the majority of our people. Marxist-Leninist theory is in full vigour and constitutes a theoretical and practical weapon at the service of the working class for transforming the society and negate exploitation of man by man in the near future, subject to the condition that it is applied correctly.

The failure of socialism in the USSR and Eastern Europe is only transitory. The reason for this failure will be found in grave errors due to bureaucracy, opportunism, treason and of course permanent attack by imperialism. On the other hand, it also confirms that the capitalist system is in grave crisis, inter-imperialist contradiction are affecting the working class the world over and promoting aggression and breach of peace. We communists have to work with intelligence and also decisively to reverse this process.
