Only when there are no revisionists deceiving the masses can the proletarians unite to destroy their oppressors. What could be more effective and more Leninist than to use the bourgeois armies to destroy the revisionists? The Progressive Labor Party should therefore adopt the slogans: "Victory Now! Bomb Hanoi!
