feudalism and in isolation of the opportunist reformist
political forces within the national movement. The distance
kept by these reactionary forces from the revolution led to
their complete exclusion from the national liberation
movement and their fall in the swamp of concessions to the
colonizer...This fact contributed to the crystallisation of the
revolutionary democratic basis of the alliance of the toiling
social classes with a genuine interest in national liberation and
social progress. This was reflected in the revolution’s
political, class, ideological and organisational development.
It was crowned with the accomplishment of the task of
national independence on November 30th, 1967, which
opened up before our people a path of broad horizons for
marching towards subsequent revolutionary development.
On this path, the process of the revolutionary democrats’
move to the positions of the working class and the declaration
of commitment to scientific socialism took place, following
_ the liquidation of the petty bourgoisie’s rightist tendencies,
which nearly posed a serious new threat to the revolution
following independence. This represented a fundamental
factor in deepening the content of national power,
consolidating social and economic transformations in society,
and founding a firm revolutionary alliance between the
segments of national progressive action which was
personified in a tangible manner by the unity of the
revolutionary forces within the framework of the Unified
National Front Political Organisation. This unity was further
consolidated with the foiling of the opportunist left
tendencies that appeared at the level of the Yemeni working
class party, the Yemeni Socialist Party, which today continues
the leadership of the revolutionary process in our country
towards completing the tasks of the stage of the national
democratic revolution with socialist horizons.
Class leadership
Within this context, reference must be made anew to the
fact that the resolution of the issue of the class leadership of
the revolution, and refusal to compromise or hesitate in
confronting all of the conspiracies and challenges that aimed
at containing the revolution and draining it of its national
democratic content, opened up the way for the maintenance
and deepening of national independence, and the de-
velopment of national democratic power of a socialist
orientation, as the only path that ensures for the liberated
countries the possibility of modernising the economic
structures, developing the productive forces and improving
the living standards of the peoples. It is not possible to return
to those historic conditions under which the weak capitalist
production relations in these countries could develop in an
_ independent manner and.undertake the historie national role
played by contemporary capitalism when it appeared in
forming nations and ‘developed national states. a
The setback of several national liberation revolutions has
proved that without. pursuing a path of socialist-orientated
development, the national liberation movement that
accomplished the task of independence cannot continue with
the building of a national democratic state that would
undertake the defence of national independence and realize
social and economic progress. This is so because colonialism —
not only acted to destroy the fundamental productive forces
in the colonies, but also perpetuated in these countries
backward and weak types of production relations - most of
which are pre-capitalism ones. The according of
opportunities for the development of these relations after
national independence can lead to the creation of a parasitic
class structure characterized by _ disfiguration and
subservience to world imperialism politically, economically
and intellectually, and damage to the independence,
economy and national culture of these countries.
In our country this issue appeared in a sharp manner
following national independence. It was in the forefront of
vital issues for which struggle was waged after
independence. There was firm and determined confrontation
of the rightist tendencies of some.representatives of social
segments that participated in the national alliance upon
which the October 14th revolution rested, when it began by
virtue of the requirements of the principal contradiction
between colonialism and its lackeys on the one hand, and the
popular masses with their various national and social classes
and segments hostile to colonialism on the other hand. All of
these issues were the focus of the work of the Fourth
Congress of the National Front Political Organisation held in
March, 1968, i.e. just a few months after independence. The
progressive stream in the National Front was able to express
its perception of the tasks and horizons of the new stage. This
was personified by the Congress coming out with progressive
resolutions that aimed at the deepening of the revolutionary
democratic content of the National Front Political
Organisation, the consolidation of its leading role and the
‘building of a. power with- democratic ‘institutions and
progressive laws expressmg the interests of the broadest
toiling masses through the realisation of democratic agrarian
reform, the building of mass and professional organisations,
the purging of the state organs by removal of anti-revolution
elements, replacing the command of the old army with that
of the Liberation Army, nationalisation of foreign companies
_and banks, and the pursuance of a liberation foreign policy.
-However,. the rightist trend, which had failed in
influencing the resolutions of the Fourth Congress, undertook
on March 20 - i.e. just after a fortnight - a reactionary coup
aimed at freezing the resolutions of the Fourth Congress and
halting the internal life of the National Front Political
Organisation, by allying with the command of the old army.
This resulted in the perpetuation of individualism and
revanchist tribal trends.
Corrective move
Despite all that, it was possible to save the revolution from
disfiguration and loss by virtue of the constant principled
stands and relentless struggle of the militants of the
progressive stream in the National Front, with the backing of
the popular masses...The conflict with the rightist trend was
decided with the June 22, 1969 Corrective Move which
overthrew the reactionary right; this opened the path for
continuing the march towards completion of the tasks of the
national democratic revolution stage; it paved the way for the
participation of the other national action segments in the
power and the mass organisations, and regained for the
_ National: Front Political Organisation its progressive class _
struggle role. |
The June 22nd Move constituted an important historic
stride in the march of the Yemeni revolutionary movement’s
development on the basis of adherence to scientific socialism,
the consolidation of the organisation’s leading role and
strengthening and developing the militant party values and
traditions, based on the principles of collective leadership
and democratic centralism. This provided the necessary
conditions for the deepening of the content of national power
and its employment as an implement of social change.
With the convening of the Fifth and Sixth Congresses of
the National Front Political Organisation in 1972 and 1975,
the October 14th revolution entered a new stage in the course
of its progressive development. In these two congresses,
adherence to the ideology of scientific socialism was clearly
determined. The fundamentals of leading and directing the
revolutionary process were formulated through the adoption
of the programme of the stage of the national democratic
revolution. The programme defined the tasks and aims of this
