The cause of socialism has ventured through the most fierce of trials and tribulations, more so than any great movement in human history. Yet, in direct contradiction to what our oppressors would have us believe, our cause is more alive than ever. Our cause is for a better world, a classless society where exploitation will be a thing of the past.
Our cause, with all of its ups and downs, its distresses, is still the brightest hope for a new tomorrow. Socialism is an objective solution, a promise by the liberators of the people, the revolutionaries, to bring dignity to the masses and rid them of their ills.
We communists take it upon ourselves to disband humanity's estrangement from the product of its labor and obliterate the objectification of the human race. Because a revolution is not a dinner party, the only tangible solution to our struggle is violent insurrection against the world capitalist system, which today has reached its highest and most parasitic form: Imperialism.
In the midst of the intolerable travesties of imperialism against the international proletariat and the broad masses of people, the revolutionary armed with Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism, is the single most feared danger to imperialism and its running dogs.
The most advanced revolutionary forces all over the world have organized under the glorious banner of Maoism. It is the guiding ideology of revolutionaries everywhere, leading us to triumph over all oppression and exploitation.
Our victory is built in the womb of the capitalist system. The invincible People's Wars being waged in India, Nepal, Peru, the Philippines, among others, have shown our power and ability to both our friend and our enemies, especially the bourgeoisie and their labor aristocratic allies in the First World. It has shown the true power of Maoist science once grasped by the masses.
The tidal wave of revolution is upon us. Not a soul in the world can reverse the rapid transformation of this society, the next, nor any to come. We live in these historic moments of change with high spirits. And, above all, we posses an incorruptible hope in the fluidity of the People's War and the potency of our party on the road to power.
We speak out in the name of justice, but we must cry it loud, for if we stay hidden in secrecy, the broad masses of people will remain unarmed, socially impotent, and powerless. Buried deep in the hearts and minds of our poverty stricken people lies an unshakable force of innumerable capabilities.
The force we speak of is the power of the people. We hold strongly to the principle that the people make history. Such a force, virtually impenetrable by our enemies, standing tall, waiting impatiently for the pages of history to turn and liberate it from ruthless exploitation, will materialize into a society of a new type.
Only a party, mature enough to lead and wise enough to win, can revert this energy into an instrument of revolution. The party, in selfless determination, will channel the power and creativity of the people into one disciplined and creative force capable of shaking the social order, freeing millions, and annihilating the shackles of oppression that have had us in chains for over 500 years.
The primacy of the class struggle cannot be denied. And with this, we hold high a declaration of war on all institutions, ideas, and mouth-pieces of the bourgeoisie and oppressor classes. The time has come to reign fire over the heads of our oppressors, swaying the direction of the wretched empire the bourgeoisie has built for itself.
The bourgeoisie as a class will be eliminated accordingly. We will cast off this dark era of humanity and in its place a better world will arise. We voice our sincerest remorse in anticipation for the blood that will be shed when the day of armed struggle finally arrives. Lives lost will be forever mourned, but never will they be in vain.
There is much difficulty in perpetuating violence in any case, but we must never overlook the economic violence of the current system against the Third World, as well as on the scattered and captive nations of the First World. Although our cause demands the use of both pen and gun, the road of revolution is a necessary solution to a desperate situation.
Revolutionary or not, violence is the final option, not the first. Although our immediate aims will not be attained through the use of violence, we will unalterably retain an aggressive tone and character, never forgetting the armed struggle we mean to forge in the distant (or not-so-distant) future. Having established this, it is of utmost necessity to reaffirm our determination in establishing socialism, and finally, world communism, by any means necessary and through all means possible.

Although it can be more accurately described as propaganda, by all means, do what you gotta do to get the word around.
Okay in Theory it goes.
Anyone with have a brain would have stopped reading this "declaration" right after this little gem:
"under the glorious banner of Maoism."
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." - Albert Einstein

How nice of Daddy Revolutionaries... but the emancipation of the working class will be an achievement of the working class itself, or it won't be anything.
Blanquist bullshit of the worst kind.

...revolutionaries are anti-civilisation because we are opposed to what class society defines as 'civilized' and desireable; because class society and 'civilization' are two-sides of the same coin. Hierarchal organisation, parliaments, commerce, property rights, the police, law and order, fences, borders, religious institutions, these are the things that define 'civilization.' These are the institutions upon which 'civilized society' and class society are based; and all of these will be destroyed when capitalism, the state --- when bourgeois society is pulled down and trampled on by the exploited and oppressed in the struggle for liberation. - bleeding gums malatesta

I didn't want it.
This declaration is one of best ones I have seen. Especially since is addresses the issue of the labor aristocracy head on.
Good job. Power to the People. Viva Mexico!
