Mankind on the Road to the Future

(Ethical Notes)

Prof. Vladimir Herasymchuk

In one of our NSC articles we touched upon the importance of the formation of human relations, i.e. communist norms between people. The problem is, that since time immemorial these relations are getting more and more complicated and unpredictable. Due to this situation life changes. Man has also become different. We must understand that the world today is under tremendous psychological war between two systems. Bourgeois society has for centuries formed a psyche in the people of the law of the jungle, unable to adapt quickly to the New World. People that think are not liked by the present regimes. As was written in the newspaper "Communist", the builder of airplanes in Kiev, Yuri Pavluchenko, wrote that now there is a discussion of changing the educated into jungle animals – this question in the "civilized world" was already solved.

Psychological skirmishes always evolve into hot wars. The gold and silver devil tries through the might of fire to tame obstinacy. In order to win against the might of Wrong, it is necessary to know the secrets and insidious carriers and the methods of these elements.

1. It is known that man in his time has developed and has built the first society. But did he immediately become a man in the contemporary sense of our understanding, i.e. with the full morals of human behavior? Unfortunately his life in the development over centuries did not allow him to attain this goal. The animal instincts of the jungle held sway for many centuries amongst the clans and societies. For those who wanted to advance from the law of the jungle there remained an unsolvable problem – how to exist and live! How to exist in these extremes of life! What demands would that make? Even if he physicality killed the members of his clan! Nature even at that time gave man the knowledge and feelings of survival together with others. There developed the intelligent man. But for a long time there still existed amongst mankind the law of the jungle. These laws of the jungle exist even now in our contemporary world of monopoly imperialism. Man to man is – wolf! This is the not forgotten principle of private property civilization.

2. In order to form the animal in the human there is an armada of contemporary methods of mass information – press, radio, television. "I," stated Mike Hammer, one of the heroes of American writer Spillain, appearing on the theater screens at the end of 1950's, "felt death and found it quite nice to such an extent, that he cannot appreciate the results of normal civilization... Death is a scary thing… people are afraid of it. Kill them left and right, show them, that we are not soft. Kill them, kill them, kill them, kill them!..." And Hammer went on killing... Onlooker also is killing... Killing and criminality has turned into politics for Uncle Sam and this dependence on his country.

…In 1949 Professor of Colombia University, Theodore Roberts in one of his books wrote: "We built an atomic bomb and we started to change and improve it. We started and are continuing to develop biological weapons." From January 28, 1952, during the Korean War, American warplanes started to systematically drop on Korea and North Eastern China bombs and missiles which were coated with bacteriological germs, cholera, typhus and other illnesses. In just three years the USA warplanes and bombers dropped such an amount of bombs, which in its total tonnage are way over all the bombs dropped on Germany during World War II.

During the war in Vietnam (Indo-China) Americans dropped one and a half million tons of poisonous bombs, 7,000 tons of chemical gas bombs, which basically killed all living foliage and livestock. The loss of life in South Vietnam from 1965-1975 amounted to 1.8 million people. Americans lost only 56,869 people. On Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia the American warplanes dropped more than 7 million tons of bombs – over 3.5 times more than the Western Alliance dropped in all theaters of war during World War II.

...Visiting in 1992 after the barbaric bombing of Iraq, the chairperson of the Presidium of Congress of Peoples Deputies of USSR, Sazhi Umalatova wrote: "This tragedy will go down in history of the XX century, that 53 states united themselves against one and bombed into devastation Iraq. 53 States! But Iraq could not be eliminated or forced on its knees, because the truth was on its side." In 1989 the attack against Iraq was even more massive. There were dropped on Iraq and its people over one million bombs. As a result of this radioactivity, future generations of Iraqi people will be terminally ill through genetics. Children are being born with two heads, or even without heads, with a heart that has no valves, with two fingers instead of five.

...In 1999 the world was shaken with all the bombs that were unleashed over Yugoslavia. There were over 35,000 bombing raids over Yugoslavia. There were dropped 79,000 bombs and missiles, over 35,000 missiles were launched. There was caused a great hurricane of gas and radioactivity clouds. Over 2000 people perished, among them 300 children.

3. But capitalism, overlooking its beastly inhuman attacks, has now reached the ultimate of its development in the technical field, could now easily turn to supplying its citizens with everything needed for a better life. But it does not. Instead it is shaking in a terrible tremor as imperialism, monopolizing all the means of production for profit. It could supply all the necessity for all of its citizens. Instead it has reached this highest stage of capitalism – unbridled imperialism and reaction.

The path towards eliminating and securing equality was reached in the Soviet Union. But not only this malady was decided and overcome. The Soviet Union showed the whole world that these problems of rich and poor could be solved for all of humanity, to give benefits to the age-old pining of the people of the world, to give work, to abolish unemployment and to give each according to his or her needs. For 70 years our nation was equal amongst all the countries of the world. Seventy years! Not looking at its position in the world, mostly surrounded by imperialist states the country of Soviets was developing and gained equality with the developing countries, was on its way towards building a communist society. No matter who talks differently, the Land of the Soviets reached a standard of living that was one of the highest.

As an example, Soviet Ukraine when reaching the 1980s-1990s, judging by its electrical output, coal production, steel, mineral mining, tractors, cloth manufacturing, wheat, sugar, meat, milk etc. was at the top position of countries of all of Europe. Soviet schooling and education, medicine was in first place. But in this psychological war with imperialism it became a loser...

4. But not looking at this temporary collapse of socialism, the historical road shows us that private ownership of the means of production is a system that belongs to the past. This system of capitalism shall be replaced by the people's ownership of the means of production. In the future, all the riches will be the development and power of the working class. Man as an animal, born into a bourgeois society, has no future. Unto the Pedestal there shall appear and rise the Working Man. The XXI Century shall belong to him. The future shall be his!
