And they said no, that the way they look at it, the harder the core the broader the front that you can form. And they say that we've got a very, very hard core and that the People's Revolutionary Party, you know, has wide acceptance among the people of Vietnam, that the head of their equivalent of the Department of Defense in the Provisional Revolutionary Government, is also the head of the People's Revolutionary Party. So that, you know, the armed forces are, at least, are led by the People's Revolutionary Party. Another things is that the brsader the front becomes, it doesn't -make them weaker but in fact makes them stronger. And that it's a principle alliance, that it's based on the fact that the work-peasant alliance is in the leadership of tha, and that they maintain the principle reunification with the North. Question: (Unintelligible) Answer: Well let me present the way the Vietnamese look at it. One thing that some of the Americans brought up in terms of different anti-war organizations is that they would say well, this group or that group is just anti-war. It's not anti-imperialist,. And they would use that as a way of sort of saying that that thing is not important. The way the Vietnamese look at it, any demonstration that's organized in the United States that has a demand for immediate withdrawal of all U. 8. troops from Vietnam, whether it is led by pacifists, liberals, radicals, revolutionaries, whatever, is objectively anti-imperialst demonstration, that it Plays that kind of role. As far as, and I think that I'd probably share that perspective that at this point what is most needed is the bycuvgest nossible mass militant demonstrations are united around the de-and for inmediate withdrawal of U. S. troops from Vietnam. That is, you know, massive and (unintelligible) tries to take the issue of the war to the working people of the country. Now I think that that's what we have to do in terms, that is foremost in terms of our responsibility and also would be most effective. At the same time my feeling at this point is that any demonstration from the Quaker Peace March, you know where they read the names of the war dead in Times Square, bound to the, you know, the militant kind of thing that the weatherman (next few words unintelligible) of SDS organized in Chicago in one sense or another plays an important role. Any demonstration against war as far as I'm concerned, is a good thing. Some are better than others. Does that answer your question? 123
