IDEOLOGICAL CONVICTION

We communists are audacious and we are so because we are consequent materialists, and we are not afraid of making mistakes, nor are we afraid of confronting anybody because truth is on our side. This is our conviction and we cannot have no other; we are men of conviction, "convinced and confessed" in the greatest transforming scientific ideology proved in thousands of glorious battles. There has not been nor there is any ideology on Earth that has had the practical test like Marxism-Leninism-Maoism; nor never have so many millions of people been and will to dragged along by so powerful revolutionary storm.
---The above is an excerpt from a document published by the Communist Party of Peru in 1987 redspark.nu. { in a compilation named "CPP and Mao Tsetung". It's an extract from a report of a plenum session of the Central Committee that was held in November 1982, and is not to be confused with the first document of the 1st Congress of the PCP. }
