By repeated alternation over a long period we mean the repetition of this pattern of warfare and these forms of fighting. This is a fact obvious to everybody. An "encirclement and suppression" campaign and a counter-campaign against it—such is the repeated pattern of the war. In each campaign the alternation in the forms of fighting consists of the first stage in which the enemy employs the offensive against our defensive and we meet his offensive with our defensive, and of the second stage in which the enemy employs the defensive against our offensive and we meet his defensive with our offensive."

But what succumbed in these defeats was not the revolution. It was the pre-revolutionary traditional appendages, results of social relationships, which had not yet come to the point of sharp class antagonisms persons, illusions, conceptions, projects, from which the revolutionary party before the February Revolution was not free, from which it could be freed, not by the victory of February, but only by a series of defeats.
In a word: revolutionary advance made headway not by its immediate tragi-comic achievements, but on the contrary by the creation of a powerful, united counter-revolution, by the creation of an opponent, by fighting whom the party of revolt first ripened into a real revolutionary party.

Revisionism obviously is a cancer, a cancer that has to be ruthlessly eliminated. Otherwise we won't be able to advance the revolution. Remembering what Lenin said, in a concise way, we must forge ahead on two questions, the question of revolutionary violence, and the relentless struggle against opportunism, against revisionism."
"Revisionism has already lost out; it's only a matter of time. The problem is already defined, the rubbish has begun to be swept away, burned away; as I said, it's only a matter of time. The process of their demise began years ago. And if we go back further, to the beginnings, the ball game was lost when they became revisionists, when they abandoned their principles . . . "
[Interview with Chairman Gonzalo, 1988]
Fight, fail, fight again, fail again, fight again . . . till their victory; that is the logic of the people, and they too will never go against this logic. This is another Marxist law. The Russian people's revolution followed this law, and so has the Chinese people's revolution."

Chairman Gonzalo, Speech of September 24, 1992.
[Interview with Chairman Gonzalo, 1988]
[Interview with Chairman Gonzalo, 1988]
Take as a political foundation everything previously expounded by Chairman
Gonzalo and the Central Committee, particularly in the Third Plenum and the
work sessions of the Central Committee; also the document Against the
Sell Out, Genocidal Dictatorship, Persist in the People's War!
Analyze Fujimori's speech, which in essence, proposes repeating what he did in his first term, within the framework of the three tasks of reaction, the imperialist plans, chiefly Yankee imperialism, and the armed forces.
The People's War is developing against wind and tide, in July very successfully concluding the first part of the Great Plan to Build the Conquest of Power!, In Defense of the Leadership, Against the Genocidal Dictatorship!, and laying down foundations for the development of the second part which will be guided by the slogan OVERCOME THE BEND IN THE ROAD BY DEVELOPING THE PEOPLE'S WAR!
Once more the nation was rocked by the burning flames of the People's War, from the Principal Region to the very capital, the area of the Metropolitan Committee. Similarly, in the Ayacucho Zonal Committee we defeated the sinister campaigns of "encirclement and suppression" of the genocidal, sell out armed forces. Bases seven and fourteen were traversed, agitating and mobilizing the masses, developing confiscation of automobiles on the Ayacucho-San Francisco highway and annihilating mesnadas [paramilitary organizations in the countryside—Trans.] in Ccano; sabotage of a state tractor in Yanamonte, annihilations, and seizure of vaccinated cattle for the provisioning of the Revolutionary Base Area "Red Bastion" and of the forces of the People's Liberation Army, complementing this action with the ambushes, annihilating and scourging the enemy bases located in the Revolutionary Base Area 33 (Ene River). Similarly, the zonal committee of Cangallo-Fajardo carried out a magnificent incursion in La Mar, Vilcashuamán, Cangallo, on the outskirts of the counterinsurgency base, and later confiscated more than 30 cases of dynamite and a radio transmitter. Meanwhile, the Huancavelica zonal committee deployed a shattering ambush at Supaymayo-Lachoc, annihilating nine police (including a major) and confiscating an equal number of H&K rifles. To this are added the magnificent ambushes unleashed by the Huallaga Regional Committee in which over 50 members of the special forces ("commando") where annihilated, capturing a MAG machinegun, an RPG rocket launcher and over 30 FAL, M-16 and AKM rifles, and a radio transmitter. In Lima, the Metropolitan Committee and People's Aid carried out the powerful car-bomb attack against the tourist hotel María Angola and the house of the congressional lackey Joy Way. These are only some of the outstanding actions with the offensives unleashed in the month of July, although there where others carried out in the North, the South and the Center like the ambush of Pichanaki.
For all these reasons we say that our plan has concluded very successfully, also celebrating in this way the 15 years of the invincible People's War, crushing the rotten cackling of the genocidal sell outs Hermoza Ríos and Fujimori, who repeated many times that "by July 1995 Shining Path will be liquidated." Once more they were defeated and they had to swallow their black vomit; the same has occurred with the revisionists and capitulators of the right opportunist line, who in their dark desires said in 1993 that the People's War could not be maintained "because the conditions do not exist."
It is important that we take into account and fervently salute the extraordinary Heroism and the Great Firmness in enduring suffering and sacrifices on the part of the Base Areas. These are masses that are an example for the entire Peruvian people and deserve our respect and admiration, because they fight shoulder to shoulder along with the People's Liberation Army and the Communist Party of Peru to maintain the New Power, no matter the cost. They are developing a new economy, new politics and a new culture.
In the same way we salute the heroic militants and combatants of the Communist Party of Peru and People's Liberation Army, who by putting politics in command, always guide themselves by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought, conquering victory after victory overcoming all difficulties, always maintaining to the end the banners of the People's War, always combating imperialism, reaction and revisionism.
PEOPLE'S WAR: it must be developed taking the Military Line as the base and all the experience of more than 15 years of victories and reverses, particularly in the countryside. Pay very close attention to the handling of the campaigns (enemy campaigns that are framed within the strategy of the so-called "low-intensity warfare," of which they are its principal form and which are complemented by population control, civil control and "intelligence" work, which includes psychological operations) and the counter-campaigns, the principal form of the Civil War, realizing our offensives and counter-offensives within this context and not on its margins, always keeping the national political situation and the specific situation of each committee in mind. Don't underestimate or overestimate the enemy (see Strategic Problems in the Guerrilla War Against Japan, chapters VII and IV). Apply the Grand Strategic Conception.
With respect to the cities, we maintain the criteria of a unified people's war but with the specification, in this period, of developing a gradual advance seeking to weld the People's War with the class struggle of the proletariat and the popular masses in the neighborhoods and shantytowns, at all times handling the two hills [referring to the revolutionary and reactionary camp—Trans.] and laying the foundations of the insurrection.
CONSTRUCTION: Crush revisionism by developing a General Reorganization of the Party.
In the countryside for some time there has been an ongoing development of military corporativism that seeks to subjugate the peasant masses. Therefore, only by way of armed conflict and political mobilization can we be able to incorporate them into the People's War, sweeping away the control and pressure exerted on them by the repressive forces and the mesnadas bit by bit. (Resettlement without repressive forces! Resettlement without mesnadas! Civil Defense is criminal defense!)
In the cities this government has been building an almost fascist police control, managed by the armed forces, which must be exposed and swept aside. For this reason, close attention to the relationship between open work and secret work, aiming to develop secret, work is called for. In everything we must: be superior to the reactionaries!
Two–line Struggle: Develop the two-line struggle against the revisionist and capitulationist right opportunist line (ROL).
