In my opinion, Marxist-Leninists are faced with three major responsibilities in this period:
First, to keep the banner of socialism and Marxism-Leninism flying; second, to critique collectively the historical experience of socialist construction from a socialist and Marxist-Leninist standpoint, which means dialectically, not discarding that experience but embodying it in a higher theoretical synthesis, and in a higher stage of socialist development; and third, to contribute toward building a network of Marxist-Leninists as an embryonic form of a new International.
