On the twenty-first of December, 1961, members of communist and
workers' parties throughout the world celebrate the eighty-second
anniversary of the birth of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, an out-
standing figure of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the
Soviet state and a great Marxist-Leninist. Stalin, who was bound-
lessly loyal to the cause of the proletarian revolution, was an im-
placable enemy of imperialism. He made great contributions in
defending his socialist motherland, in developing the international
communist movement, in helping the liberation of the oppressed
nations, and in the struggle to safeguard world peace.
It is true that Stalin made mistakes; he was not a "demigod", nor
did he pretend to be. But has any leading Marxist ever written
that we could never commit mistakes or that it is absolutely impos-
sible for a given communist to commit mistakes? Isn't it precisely
because we Marxists-Leninists deny the existence of a "demigod"
who never makes big or little mistakes that we communists use
criticism and self-criticism in our inner-Party life? Moreover, how
could it be conceivable that a socialist state which was the first in
the world to put the dictatorship of the proletariat into practice,
which did not have the benefit of any precedent, should make no
mistakes of one kind or another?
In accordance with Lenin's teachings, Stalin put forward the pol-
icy and tasks for the industrialization of the country and collec-
tivization of agriculture, shattered the attacks launched jointly by
the Trotskyites and the right opportunist Bukharinites against the
Party's general line. In these struggles he defended and creatively
applied and developed Marxism-Leninism. For every socialist coun-
try, the working class all over the world, and all oppressed nations,
Stalin's creative contribution to the theory of Marxism-Leninism is
of ineffaceable influence.
The following pages present a selection of statements which testify
to the correctness and great value of Comrade Stalin's contribution
to Marxism-Leninism.

Comrades, when one speaks of the services of our Party,
of its achievements, one cannot help speaking of the great
organizer of the gigantic victories we have achieved. I
refer to Comrade Stalin. I must say that he is a truly ac-
complished, a truly perfect successor and continuator of
the cause. It is not easy to grasp the figure of Stalin in
all its gigantic proportions. There has been no major un-
dertaking, slogan or trend of policy of any importance of
which Comrade Stalin was not the author. All the prin-
cipal work is done in accordance with the instructions, on
the initiative, and under the guidance of Comrade Stalin.

It is extremely difficult to apprehend Stalin's gigantic
contribution to Marxist thought, for there is no field of
science which has not been enriched by his genius. It is
impossible not to call Stalin the greatest philosopher of our
times, the great expert on national and colonial problems,
a magnificent strategist.

In France and Italy, in Malaya and Burma, in Spain and
Indonesia, in Argentine and in oppressed Africa, working

All of the works on the Chinese revolution written by
Comrade Stalin---the mighty teacher of the international
communist movement -are of the utmost value to the
Chinese revolution by virtue of their ability to arm the
minds of the Chinese Communists during this lengthy
period. The victory of the Chinese revolution is a victory
of Marxism-Leninism, or the victory of Comrade Stalin's
theories of the Chinese revolution. In this respect, we
have been repeatedly told by Comrade M.o Tse-tung that,
in order to augment incessantly our strength both in war
and in work, it behooves the Chinese Communists to make
a good study of the theories on the Chinese revolution
evolved by Lenin and Stalin, and in particular the theories
of Comrade Stalin.

STALIN, THE VIGILANT DEFENDER
OF MARXISM-LENINISM
Every Bolshevik, every worker, every citizen of our
Soviet country must clearly realize that the successful and
victorious destruction of fascist agents-all those con-
temptible Trotskyites, Bukharinites and bourgeois nation-
alists-is owed first of all, personally to our leader, our
great Stalin.

Comrade Stalin not only masters to perfection the entire
scientific inheritance of Marx-Engels-Lenin, not only safe-
guards the Marxist-Leninist theory in the severe struggle
against the opportunists of all classes, not only is a genial
prophet of the scientific inheritance of his teachers, but
enriches Marxism-Leninism with a number of great dis-
coveries and further develops the Marxist-Leninist theory.

fascism.
From W. Ulbricht, Neues Deutschland
(March 19, 1956).
We have recently been accused in the West of being
"Stalinists", "followers of Stalin". In reply to this we
have already declared more than once that to our minds
the term "Stalinist", like Stalin himself, is inseparable
from the great title of Communist. When one speaks of the
cause of the revolution, the defence of the class interests
of the proletariat in the revolutionary struggle against our
class enemies, Stalin courageously and unyieldingly de-
fended the cause of Marxism-Leninism. . . . May God
grant that every communist will be able to fight as Stalin
fought.

"Only by adopting an objective and analytical attitude can we
correctly appra se Stalin and all those comrades who made similar
mistakes under his influence, and only so can we correctly deal with
their mistakes. Since these mistakes were made- by communists in
the course of their work, what is involved is a question of right
versus wrong within communists ranks, riot an issue of ourselves
versus the enemy in the class struggle. We should therefore adopt
a comradely attitude towards these people and not treat them as
enernies. We s'nould defend what is correct in their work while
criticizing their mistakes, and not blankly denounce everything they
did. Their mistakes have a social and historical background and
can be attributed especially to their ideology rnd. understanding.
An just the same way, such mistakes may also occur in the work
of other comrades. That is why, having recognized the mistakes
and undertaken their correction, it is necessary that we regard them
as a grave lessen, as an asset that can be used tor heightening the
political consciousness of all communists, thus preventing the re-
currence of such mistakes and advancing the ca.ise of communism.
If, on the contr,ry, one takes_: a completely negative attitude towards
those comrades who made mistakes, treats, them with hostility and
discriminates against them by labelling them tl.is or that kind of
element, it will not help them to learn th.e lesson they should learn.
Moreover, since this means confusing the two entirely different
types of contradiction -- that of right versus wrong within our own
ranks and that of ourselves versus the enemy--it will only help
the enemy .n l.is attacks on the communist ranks and in his at-
tempts it disintegrating the communist position."

S61o at tomamos una actitud objetiva y analitica, podremos estimar
correctamente a Stalin y a todos aquellos cainaradas que cometieron
errores sernejantes bajo su influencia y s6lo asi podremos corregir
sus errores. Como se trata de errores cbmetidos por comunistas en
su labor, se trata de to que es bueno y de lo que es malo dentro de
las filas comunistas, y no se trata de un conflicto entre nosotros y
nuestro enemigo en la lucha de clases. Debemos tratar como cama-
radas a estos elementos y no como enemigos. Debemos defender 10
. que hay de acertado en su llabor y no denunclar ciegamente a todo
lo que ban hecho. Sus errores tienen antecedentes sociales e his-
t6ricos y pueden atribuirse especialmerte a su. ideologia y a sus
interpretaciones. Tales errores tambi6npueden ocurrir en la labor
de otros compafleros. Habiendose descubierto los errores y habien-
dose tornado medidas para remediarlos, hay que considerarlos como
lecciones profundas, como experiencias que pued:an usarse para ele-
var ]a conciencia politica de todos los !comunistas, para evitar la
repetici6n de tales errores y para adelantar la causa comunista. Si,
por to contrario, se toma una actitud co i
inpletamente negativa hacia
estos camaradas que han errado, si los tratamos con hostilidad y
discriminamos contra ellos calificandolos de elementos de esta o
aquella clase, no se les ayudara a aprender la lecci6n que deben
aprender. Ademis, esto vendria a confundir dos tipos de contra-
dicciones completamente distintas ?-1o que es correcto o incorrecto

enemigos. Esto s6lo ayudara al enemigq en sus ataques contra las
filas comunistas y en sus esfuerzos para desin:ntegrar la posici6n
comunista.
