The DFLP critique of the policy of "peaceful coexistence"
"The world revolutionary movement, in its struggle against this imperialist aggression, has to overcome two obstacles.
The revisionist policy carried by some states within the socialist camp, a policy which encourages the imperialists to intensify its aggressive policy.
The devisive policy which is tearing apart the unity of the socialist camp and the anti-imperialist front, thus obstructing an effective united struggle of this camp.
The present revisionist policy finds its theoretical rationale in a series of mistaken analysis resulting from the present Soviet interpretation of the "peaceful coexistence" concept. This analysis is based on the assumption that the "peaceful economic initiative" between the socialist camp and the capitalist camp is the decisive factor in the victory of world revolution, and that the contradiction between the two camps can be solved by means of negotiations and pressure on imperialism to contain its aggressive tendencies in order to provide the peaceful atmosphere which will enable the socialist countries to develop their internal economies. The adherents of this policy always try to avoid confrontions with imperialism, in any part of the world, and try to limit the anti-imperialist interests, for this might push imperialism into waging an aggressive, limited war, thus compelling the socialist countries to comply with their internationalist committment by aiding the countries which are the object to aggression.
The thesis of "peaceful coexistence" in its present Soviet conception is linked to the theory of "parlimentary transition to socialism" in the advanced capitalist countries, as well as with, the theory of "non-capitalist development" in the underdeveloped nations. Both theories are a clear negation of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" thesis, admitting the possibility of building socialism through the established agencies of the bourgeois state, without the need to destroy it. With these two theories, revisionism seeks to ease the degree of the class and national struggle against capitalism and imperialism, in order to prevent the growth of the struggle from leading to a sharp confrontation with imperialism which will dictate, upon the socialist countries, obligations they are not yet ready to carry through."
