an example of such a satellite organization of the (cadre)
Student Union. Wrote a brochure on the NATO ... had it
printed by the Socialist Party, in exchange for the promise
to go peddling with them ... go into the neighborhood as
they called that. That is to say, not after a sharp debate
about a paragraph on the Warsaw Pact. The Moscow - Beijing
rupture ... that had split the Netherlands communists
approximately along the line Rotterdam - Nijmegen ...
deepened when the Chinese no longer saw imperialism ... read
USA ... as objective main enemy ... but the social-imperialist
Soviet Union ... with their tendency to world domination.
That carried too far as the SP was concerned. But you could
barely have a discussion with them ... always came up with
phrases like: all that theory ... practice! That is ... don't babble ...
and the students actually had to be sent into the factory ...
just like in China.
Mao Zedong and Nikita Khrushchev
Moscow perhaps was no good ... but it wasn't very useful
to come up with. However they thought it important to work
together with the Anti Nato Committee, cause the paragraph
remained. They probably thought: nobody is gonna read the
brochure anyway ... they probably were right. The price was
1 guilder. Sometimes somebody bought a copy, but Richard
thought ... mostly out of pity ... or to get rid of him. Those
political analysis of the world situation you could find, only
in obscure brochures of the Marxist-Leninist German Communist
Party (KPD.ml) and the Italian Avantguardia Operaia. In Portugal
you had like 19 ML organizations. Also in Nijmegen they popped
up ... the Communist Unity Movement (Marxist-Leninist) (KEN.ml)...
with their student organization KSB ... their cover organization
National Vietnam Committee (LVK)... Mainly from Tilburg and
Rotterdam, where they had to do with the strike in the harbor.
Their magazine was called the Red Tribune.
