Pravda, Harvard speakers rebut U.S., Soviet policy
ZBJGNIEW BRZEZINSKE
The audience at last night's Current Events Forum listened to Harvard professor and a Pravda spokesman present their views on revolution in United States and Soviet Union foreign policy by means of a tape recorder.
The tape, which was made earlier this year at the Toronto teach-in, was sponsored by the Student Union Activities. Also featured were two KU political science professors who commented on the contents of the tape.
ZBJGNIEW Brzezinske, head of the department of Soviet Affairs at Harvard University, said on tape that revolution could aim for social and economic change, or it could aim for the domination of one system over another. He does not think the United States should stamp out its opposition, because this would refute what the American Revolution represents to other countries.
"To justify our aiding another country's struggle, that country must have a local desire to modernize and to defend itself, and must possess natural resources," he said.
According to Brzezinske, the purpose of revolution is to create a stable world with a constructive outlet for changes. He wants
to destroy the enemy by making him into a friend.
BUT HE WARNED the audience in reference to Viet Nam, that once a commitment has been made, a withdrawal is worse than a communist take-over where no commitment exists.
Pravda correspondent Victor Nekrasov began by defining revolution as a change in the ownership of the means of production. In every country this change is eventually demanded by the people and opposed by the government.
Nekrasov said the Soviet Union will render support to any country with a national liberation movement that desires support. World solidarity is achieved by the people's sovereign right to change their social order.
HE SAID the United States' stand in Viet Nam, despite any reasons given as justification, was armed interference. This is going against the only method of achieving peaceful co-existence adherence to the wishes of the people.
Nekrasov stated also that just possibly the revolutions being conducted by the United States and Soviet Russia were irrelevant. The Bolshevic and American Revolutions took place in countries that had economic promise and room for expansion. The countries of revolution today are overpopulated with very limited means of production.
The hour and ten minute tape was followed by ten-minute speeches by Jaroslaw Piealkiewicz, assistant professor of political science, and Chea Jin Lee, acting assistant professor of political science.
PIEKALKIEWICZ SAID the positions presented by the two speakers can not be exactly equated because one presented his own opinion while the other was a mouthpiece of a government newspaper.
States pays lip service to the need for revolution, but its policies, as seen by the Harvard professor, favor evolution.
Lee stated that the United
