On the Soviet theory of international socialist ownership

"New Order" has already been sent to its grave. The Soviet revisionist new tsars' "community", too, is bound to be swept in the near future into the garbage heap of history by the revolutionary people.
ON THE SOVIET THEORY OF INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST OWNERSHIP
Hsinhua International Service in English, June 12, 1969. After dishing up such fascist fallacies as the theories of "limited sovereignty" and "international dictatorship", the Soviet revisionist renegade clique has concocted another reactionary theory of "international socialist ownership". Flaunting the banner of "international socialism", it is setting up a big clamor over the crucial question of ownership in an attempt to completely undermine the economic sovereignty of some East European countries and Mongolia and tighten its grip upon the economic lifelines of these countries through the "internationalization" of "ownership" so as to plunder their wealth more ruthlessly. Not long ago, the revisionists instructed one of their hired "theoreticians" to write an article comprehensively and systematically advertising the theory of "international socialist ownership", a theory designed to serve Soviet revisionist social-imperialism's aggression and plunder abroad. The article said nonsensically that the productive forces and relations of production of the "world socialist system" have developed to the "special stage of internationalization." Thus it is necessary to "gradually build a unified structure of world socialist economy" and develop the "socialist ownership of the national independent
347
countries". Obviously, in advocating "international socialist ownership", the Soviet revisionist renegade clique is trying to establish, through the plan of "integration" of the "community" which it has been preaching for years, a "supranational" set-up running the economies of various countries. In this way, the ownership of social wealth of the other "community" members will be "internationalized", that is, it will be turned into Soviet revisionist socialimperialist ownership by which the Soviet revisionists may grab the social wealth of other countries at will. Thisis a variation and application of their reactionary theories of "limited sovereignty" and "international dictatorship" in the economic field. The article minced no words in stating that the implementation of this "ownership" means that the Soviet revisionists are entitled "in the name of the collaborating countries" to "adjust and manage" the national economies of the members ofthe"socialist community" and to make "international distribution and redistribution" of their national incomes. Such an arbitrary act of forcibly intervening in and controlling the economic life of other countries is tantamount to saying "mine is mine and yours is also mine". What is this, if not the typical gangster logic of imperialism? Proceeding from the reactionary theory of "international socialist ownership", the hired "theoretician" of the Soviet revisionists in his article flagrantly trotted out a so-called long-term plan of "economic integration of the socialist countries" in a vain attempt to gobble up completely the national economies of the member countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (C.M.E.A.), seize their natural resources and wealth and establish a colonial empire with a completely "integrated" economy. The article said barefacedly

STUDIES IN COMPARATIVE COMMUNISM
that this all-inclusive "integration" plan of the Soviet revisionists "affects all component parts of the socialist economy and the total aggregate o f international relations of production". In the field of production, the plan calls for the implementation of a certain kind of supranational "international productive unions" so as to accept all kinds of "internationalist tasks" laid down by the Soviet revisionists. In the monetary field, the Soviet revisionists arrogantly demanded that the ruble be made the "convertible" common currency within the framework of the C.M.E.A., that prices be fixed at a "unified standard" and that the external and internal markets of various countries be merged into " a united market of the socialist countries". The Soviet revisionists also proposed supranational "international planning" to carry out unified management of the "entire economy" of various countries and their "production and distribution of social products and national income as whole". Thus, the realization of the "integration", by which the Soviet revisionists will take possession of everything, swallow up and dominate everything, will completely deprive the C.M.E.A. countries of their economic sovereignty and will put their finance, economy, industry, agriculture, commerce and other crucial departments under the direct control of the new tsars' colonial empire and virtually turn the C.M.E.A. members into Soviet regions or union republics. In fact, the Soviet revisionist renegade clique's "economic integration" is nothing new; it is something picked up from the garbage heap of the old-line imperialists. U.S. imperialism began to push the so-called "economic integration" in some Latin American countries as far back as more than a decade ago and plundered the riches of these countries. The Soviet revisionist renegade clique
was very envious of this. The article, which loudly trumpeted "integration", reveals such envy of the Soviet revisionist renegades. It shamelessly sang praises for the Western monopoly capitalist class which, it said, "has gone fairly quickly along the road of integration" and "achieved well-known successes". It can thus be clearly seen that the "integration" plan dished up by the Soviet revisionist renegade clique is, in many respects, modeled after the "integration" of the Western monopoly capitalist class. Since the Soviet revisionist renegade clique flaunts the banner of "international socialist ownership", its "integration" plan is more vicious, more barbarous and more treacherous. The reactionary article bluntly declared that the "integration" advocated by the Soviet revisionists "includes economy and politics" and is "more complete", This is a big selfexposure of the aggressive ambitions of the Soviet revisionist social-imperialists. Nominally, the "international socialist ownership" put forward by the Soviet revisionist renegade clique applies to the members of the C.M.E.A., but in reality there is a much more sinister motive behind it. The Soviet revisionist renegades openly claimed that their "international socialist ownership" and economic "integration" are only "temporarily" confined to the C.M.E.A. and that the "C.M.E.A. is an open organization" ready to "admit" more members. In other words, the Soviet revisionist renegades not only want to use "international socialist ownership" to completely undermine the economic independence of the C,M.E.A. countries, but also want to extend it to other countries and, indeed, to the whole world. Speaking of diehards, the great leader Chairman Mao has said: "They always have many schemes in hand, schemes for profiting at other's expense, for
DOCUMENTS double-dealing and so on. But they always get the opposite of what they want." The Soviet revisionist renegades are a handful of such diehards. They are playing with the trick of "international socialist ownership" and have put forward an ambitious long-term "economic integration" plan in an attempt to swallow up all the economic wealth of other countries. They have put their wares under beautiful "international" and "socialist" wrappings to hoodwink people. But no camouflage can cover up their most barbarous acts of aggression. Their perverse acts will only arouse still stronger resistance from the countries and peoples subjected to their aggression control, interference and bullying and will quicken their own doom.
'THE ANTI-CHINA ENCIRCLEMENT . . .~ Excerpts from "The Anti-China Encirclement Formed by the New Tsars in League with U.S. Imperialism Will Definitely Come to No Good End; Hsinhua Domestic Service, March 11, 1969. For a long time the Soviet revisionist renegade clique has been hostile toward the Chinese people and has tried its best to collude with U.S. imperialism and the reactionaries of various nations to vainly put together a so-called antiChina encirclement. This kind of lastditch struggle of the new tsars of Soviet revisionism is not only a distinct manifestation of their heinous counterrevolutionary features, but also a great exposure of their weakness as a paper tiger. With their anti-China activities they are further pushing themselves into a heavy encirclement by the vast ocean of worldwide revolutionary struggle.

It is in this situation that the Soviet revisionist renegade clique has spared no time in intensifying its counterrevolutionary deal with U.S. imperialism to form the anti-China encirclement. By doing so, it vainly attempts to "contain" China's tremendous influence on the international scene and undermine the surging revolutionary struggles waged by people of various countries. In order to take part in the forming of an anti-China encircling ring and to respond to U.S. imperialism's actions of deploying a great number of its armed forces and military bases around China, the Soviet revisionist renegade clique in recent years has greatly increased its troops along the Sino-Soviet border and unremittingly created provocative border incidents. Concurrently, the Soviet revisionist renegade clique has turned Mongolia into a huge military base, dispatched numerous troops to Mongolia, and deployed them along the Sino-Mongolian border. It has given the Mongolian revisionist clique tremendous military "aid", including military supplies and modern weapons and equipment, and sent a great number of military "advisers" to exercise direct control over the Mongolian revisionist troops. In order to form an anti-China encircling ring the Soviet revisionist renegade clique, in collusion with U.S. imperialism, has done its best to foster and collude with Japanese militarism in vainly attempting to turn it into an important pillar in the anti-China encirclement. In recent years, the Soviet revisionist renegade clique has greatly intensified its counterrevolutionary collaboration with the Japanese reactionaries. The Soviet revisionist chieftains have openly and brazenly flattered Japanese militarism as the force of "stabilization in Asia" and as "occupying the leading position in Asia", asking it "to co-
