transitional stage and determined its fundamental class
forces. The internal regulations, adopted and developed at
these two congresses, provided broader possibilities for the
consolidation of the best national party traditions and their
development, through benefitting from the experience of the
working class parties. For the first time in our country, party
and political work were linked to the society’s economic life.
This takes place through the founding of party and primary
mass organisations in the various places of work, production
and study and in the armed forces. The relations of the
national democratic alliance between the National Front
Political Organisation, the Peoples’s Democratic Union and
the People’s Vanguard Party, on the basis of adherence to
scientific socialist thought and the programme of the stage of
the national democratic revolution, was rapidly consolidated.
This alliance was crowned with the convening of the
Unification Congress and the founding of the Unified
National Front Political Organisation on October, 1975,
which paved the way for the founding of the Yemeni
Socialist Party in October, 1978, as the party of the Yemeni
working class and its allies.
In the context of the.experience of the October 14th
revolution, there appears before us the fact that the issue of
power in our country was determined by virtue of the success
of our party in its construction, leadership and practice as an
instrument for the realisation, protection and deepening of
economic, social, cultural and legal transformations. (The
party’s role was instrumental in) the provision of the
necessary conditions for social progress through the
nationalisation of the foreign monopolist companies and
banks following the June 22, 1969 Corrective Move, the
implementation of the agrarian reform law; nationalisation of
housing, and the building of the state sector and
consolidation of its leading role in the various branches of the
national economy. All of this led to a change in the class
composition of society in favour of the working masses...

Greek Communist Party
The delegate of the Communist Party of Greece
opened his speech by saluting the Yemeni Socialist
Party and the People’s Democratic Republic of
Yemen. His presentation then focused on certain
aspects of the national democratic revolution, in-
cluding the following:
We know the reasons why we communists do not speak
about the national bourgeois revolution, but about the na-
tional democratic revolution, by which we mean a limited
phase in the march of the socialist revolution, which has been
defined on the basis of a Marxist-Leninist analysis of the con-
tradictions in the concerned countries. This phase is not se-
parated from the following phase of socialist revolution by
any Chinese Wall. Rather, it relates and interlinks the tasks of
complete national independence with the objectives of social
progress and economic development for the great majority
of the people.
The very definition of the phase of national democratic
revolution and its tasks, and the transformation of what
emerges from it of slogans into a propelling force for the
broad people’s masses in the concerned countries, affirms not
_just the vanguard role, but also the leading role of the com-
munist and workers parties in those countries, inspite of any
subjective or objective weakness, or any mistakes that may
occur. In this sphere I wish to indicate to the controversial
relationship between the growth of the working class and the
communist and workers party. If it is correct that the exist-
ence of a developing proletariat contributes to the growth of
the role of the party, then, similarly, it is correct that the
sound application of Marxism-Leninism permits the party of
any country which has no such proletariat not only to avoid
the negative effects resulting from that, but also to play its
vanguard and leading role, as the vanguard of the proletariat
which is on its way to growth in its country, and one of the
groups of the world revolutionary movement of constantly
wide and increasing influence.
We should not also forget that the revolutionary leader-
ship in its two inseparable phases is nothing static, but consti-
tutes a continuous process requiring continuous efforts not
just for its confirmation in practical reality, but for its main-
tenance and development and the broadening of its scope
24
further with activity and continuous initiatives under the
changing circumstances of the struggle. Here too, it enjoys
the creative use of the revolutionary weapon of Marxism-
Leninism, especially in the sphere of alliances with decisive
significance...
The second point I would like to touch on is not the role
of the petit bourgeoisie in the phase of the national democrat-
ic revolution. (This class), and especially the peasants, re-
mains the natural ally of the working class. (Rather, I speak
of) a certain section of the petit bourgeoisie that was able, in
certain circumstances, to reach authority. As this section is
made up of, in general, possessors of free trades and senior
employees and military men, we find that the tendency of the
petit bourgeois aspiration to escape from the petit bourgeois
situation and move to the bourgeois situation is expressed in
this section as extreme elitism, individualism, and tyranny. I
call it a section, for in the final analysis it does not even
represent the petit bourgeoisie in totality, as a class.
In my opinion, this section has no relation with revolu-
tionary democrats... nor was it revolutionary democratic
and then transformed, inspite of the fact that in some coun-
tries this section is made up under revolutionary democratic
authority and plays a role in overthrowing them, or assumes
authority after their losing the various causes. Due to its petit
bourgeois origin, this section does not possess any capital of
its own, thus giving full freedom to “the individual initiative’ ;
and this in my view is the constancy of its stand on nationali-
sation of foreign capital, although this forms the sole way of
achieving its aspiration of climbing the social ladder.
I will not list here the changes that took place in the
stands of this section in the course of the consolidation of its
position in authority, as the documents of various other frat-
ernal parties concerned touch on this in detail, but I wish to
indicate especially to its transition from the alleged adoption
of scientific socialism to the emergence of the “(special) fea-
tures,” and talk about “national socialism” concerned, and
also transition in some countries to speak about the “third
way between capitalism and socialism, as they exist, and
also the stand on the strategic alliance with the Soviet Union,
on the theory of the “two great powers”...
At the end, permit me to repeat something that never
loses its great and decisive significance, which is the need for
supporting and strengthening the unity of the world revolu-
tionary movement, considering it the main condition for set-
ting up the broadest front against imperialism and its aggres-
sive plots. - هو جزء من
