“The people of the countries in the socialist camp should unite, the people of the countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America should unite, the people of all the continents should unite, all peace-loving countries should unite, and all countries subjected to U.S. aggression, control, intervention or bullying should unite, and so form the broadest united front to oppose the U.S. imperialist policies of aggression and war and to defend world peace.”
Mao Zedong, “Statement Supporting the Panamanian People’s Just Patriotic Struggle Against U.S. Imperialism” (January 12, 1964), People of the World, Unite and Defeat the U.S. Aggressors and All Their Lackeys, 2nd ed., p. 9. ***

Monkey Smashes Heaven’s (monkeysmashesheaven.wordpress.com) position is to strengthen the broad united front against imperialism, especially U$ imperialism, while at the same time trying to assert as much Maoist influence within the united front as possible. In other words, we unite on a tactical basis with Islamists, revisionists and others in the oppressed nations, but only when such forces are objectively anti-imperialist. We should strengthen the broad anti-imperialist united front, even when it is organizationally led by non-proletarian forces in the oppressed nations.
At the same time, we should not liquidate into the united front. We should remain organizationally distinct and try to increase our leadership within the united front. We should defend ourselves physically and ideologically within the united front.
We should craft our agitation and propaganda such that it points out the progressive role being played by non-proletarian led anti-imperialist forces. However, we should assert a hard proletarian line within the broad united front. In other words, we should always point out the progressive role of anti-imperialist forces, but we should also point out that they are not capable in the long term of leading the masses to socialism and communism. Establish a hardline true Maoist pole within the broad united front.
Support the broad united front against imperialism, especially U$ imperialism!

*** Mao was correct to call on people of all continents to unite. However, Mao was wrong on just who constituted “the people.” Unfortunately, Mao had a mechanical view of global class structure and thought that the first world still had large popular classes. True Maoists today reject Mao on this point. There is a very small minority in the first world who will throw in their lot with the third world. These are “the people” in the first world.
