This people's power is still in its early stages, it represents a social level and political unity of the people, but it can only develop as fast as the masses make advances in consciousness and organization. This is supported by the political-military power, which supports the people's power in the confrontation with the bourgeois state and its military apparatus. The power of the people and the power of the bourgeoisie exclude one another. The existence of the one demands the destruction of the other. So it is not sufficient for these organs to concentrate on the social and political power of the people.
Military power is needed as well, in order to survive and to provide strength for things to develop.
There, these organs can assume the functions of the state if they destroy the local control of the bourgeoisie. That is why we define the strategy of the Peruvian revolution as a revolutionary people's war. The next part will be also here.
