In Latin America there are already numerous examples of the same character. While the Latin American workers and poor peasants have every reason to be in complete solidarity with the Chinese revolution, and to welcome its uninterrupted development in China itself, they should be aware at the same time that the policy advocated for them by the Chinese leaders is a mortally dangerous one. Its lack of understanding of the revolutionary problems of Latin America demonstrates its pragmatism and empiricism. It simply repeats the Stalinist wisdoms, without taking any notice of the disastrous consequences such a policy would have for the Latin American masses. Compared to the Chinese approach to the Latin American revolution, however, it is much more dangerous.
China is far away from Latin America.
The Latin American workers vanguard is not waiting for an article in the People's Daily. The policy of the P K I. however, has its direct influence upon the struggle of the Indonesian masses themselves. Aidit, general secretary of the PKI, is an adept of Stalin. He knows his way in the Moscow hierarchy better than in his own party. If the Indonesian Communist rank and file is inspired by the Chinese revolution, and this cannot be doubted, the PKI leadership is completely faithful to the Soviet bureaucracy.
