The fundamental responsibility for the border clash rests therefore on the Soviet leaders. It is also absolutely incontestable that the People's Republic of China has a valid claim to vast amounts of territory now held by the Soviet Union, which should be rectified. Nevertheless, the Chinese CP has the duty to the world movement to see to it that the border conflict does not divert the main revolutionary struggle against imperialism. Measured in terms of the world struggle, the border dispute, however important it may appear to be to China or to the USSR, is nevertheless a minor factor if viewed in the light of the overall objective the world struggle against imperialism. The struggle should be turned against them.
Monopoly capitalism breeds wars of aggression both at home and abroad.
It is congenitally incapable of peaceful solution to critical questions of the day and has employed force and violence as its instrument in the struggle for world domination. Imperialist war is endemic to monopoly capitalism. Periods of peace are merely interludes between Imperialist wars. The only peace the imperialists are interested in is the peace of a slave master imposed on the slaves. The only way to insure a real, enduring peace is the overthrow of the imperialist system.
