The United Front
This understanding has enabled the Indochinese revolutionaries to unite the greatest number of people against the common enemy — U.S. imperialism — so as to isolate him to the maximum. Policies have been adopted which unite all those who can be united, neutralise all those who can be nertialised and divide up the enemy. The Seven-Point Peace Proposal of [unclear: July] 1971 and the Paris agreement have been [unclear: concrete] examples of this political line in the diplomatic sphere.
Based on the unity between the working class and the peasantry, the revolutionary parties have been able to mobilise the people of all social classes, nationalities, religions and political beliefs into a single spearhead of resistance to U.S. imperialism. The National Front for Liberation of south Vietnam is an embodiment of this, line, including as it does the People's Revolutionary Party, the Democratic Party and the Radical Socialist Party.
Truong Chinh, leading Vietnamese theoretician, says that the national united front is "an indispensable political weapon for our people to bring into play their combined strength in the struggle against the enemy of our nation to [unclear: conquer] independence, freedom and to build a new life."
