PCB’s (PCB) National Politic Committee evaluated very carefully Hugo Chavez’s well-indented proposal, recently announced at the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), of creating one V international Socialist, which foundation date is scheduled to April 2010:

1. We congratulate the Venezuelan President’s initiative, which claims to cluster large forces to better coordinate the fight against imperialism, understood as a set of actions from the capitalists States in the interests of their companies and the bourgeoisie in general.

2. However, we disagree with the way this initiative is been treated because understand that the constitution of such organism requires an accumulation of political and ideological discussion and action unity that we still do not see in parties and movements which are willing to accede the proposal.

3. The historical processes of construction of the Internationals were gestated in the heat struggle of the proletariat by parties identified with them, emphasizing that the Third International, founded by Lenin, only Communists and Proletarian Parties took part.

4. Beyond this, when we talk about the V International we are considering the so called IV International, which was, in fact, an articulation of trotkists groups, with little political and social influence, which ended up dividing it in many little groups, each one claiming to be the lawful heir, some even to these days.

5. With different historical contexts and characteristics that assumed previous initiatives do not seem necessary to number any organization of this kind.

6. We also restrict the definition of this “V International” as socialist. Not only because of the trivialization of the word, used by sectors of the capital too. It can confuse the ones that did not trivialize the concept of socialism and correctly understood as a transition to the communism.

7. PCB supports, in our country, an anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist front to understand that in Brazil the capitalism is fully developed and are residuals the contradictions between Brazilian bourgeoisie and imperialism, which Brazilian capitalism is part of.

8. Worldwide, however, with the immense diversity of nationals and regionals realities, not all parties, movements, organizations and political forces have contradiction with imperialism are also favorable to the construction of the socialist society and, much less, the communist society. There are colonized countries, occupied; there are countries in which the capitalism isn’t fully developed; there are people and nations that even conquered the right to have a State, a country. In our view, in some cases, it is possible that the revolutionary process still entails national fronts against the imperialism.

9. Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), facing the historical moment we are living – where a severe economic crisis affects virtually all countries of the world – defends the necessity to form an Anti-Imperialist World Front, which brings together all parties, organizations and movements willing to fight, in a coordinated way, against the imperialism.

10. PCB will keep valuing all initiatives that seek to conform a program to fight, on our continent and in all parts of the world, in order to consolidate the unity of action and forge an organization able to respond collectively the attacks of imperialism.

11. PCB will also keep prestige the International Meetings of Communist Parties, the International Communist Magazine and will work tirelessly to the communists of Latin America and Caribbean to seek coordination to affront, neatly, the bourgeoisie, the imperialism and the ideological struggle against the reformism.
