The Working Class – Hope of Humanity!

From the moment that there was established a proletarian party in Russia, in their ranks there started a struggle amongst two ideologies – proletarian (Bolsheviks) and petty bourgeois (Mensheviks). The victory of the Bolsheviks over the Mensheviks resulted in the success of the Great October Socialist Revolution, the building of Socialism in the USSR, the victory of the greatest threat and might of imperialism – German fascism.

With the advent of the attack on the USSR by fascist Germany, the country lost over 3.5 million of its best sons and daughters who were members of the party and dedicated Bolsheviks. Such losses were after 1953 filled with careerists, traitors, boot-lickers and opportunists of the Khrushchevite mould.

Slowly and methodically the Khrushchevites (Mensheviks) started to purge the party of any Bolsheviks, dedicated workers and replaced them with their own ilk. They then started the process of slowly eliminating the policy of socialism and put in place capitalist methods of production and economy. Our bourgeoisie leadership is holding the ex-USSR together on the profits of selling to Imperialism our natural resources. But they should realize that these resources shall not last forever!

The time is not far away before the working class of the ex-USSR will undertake the struggle against this exploitation and thus these Khrushchevites will be forced to use force against the workers which in turn will galvanize and organize the working class.

The same processes will be going on in the capitalist states and because the imperialist profits will become less due to struggles and competition amongst themselves, they will use force against their workers also, which will then force the working class to organize.

The Socialist revolution in ex–USSR is not completed. It is in temporary retreat at the moment. No matter how the Khrushchevites try to make the economy grow, to satisfy the people, to bring up the standard of living, all this is in vain. They now realize that the struggle of the working class has now taken an international character and has an international character of struggle. The tragedy of 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq are a sign that their is beginning to be formed an international solidarity front against imperialism. There cannot be peace in this struggle!

Imperialism is the cause of all wars on this planet. This is shown by the capitalist stock exchanges and their manipulations in time if crisis. What does all this mean? This means a serious crisis of dividing the natural resources and products between the peoples.

More and more people in this world are beginning to understand that all the riches in this world belong to all the people, not to a group of parasites-imperialists. The struggle to the death is between the working class and the exploiting capitalist class.

The imperialist countries cannot live without wars and thus they start wars to gain these riches. We need a world where there will not be any exploitation of man by man.

Appealing to the United Nations Organization, as an international body, able to govern and make correct judgments is not possible, since the UN is a marionette of US imperialism and plays the role of a screen for US imperialism, holding other nations at bay so they do not develop and thus compete with imperialism.

Time is not far off when from the UN there will be departing countries because of the assigned status that they are in as a consequence of the wishes of imperialism. UN is a mirage role model, meant to confuse, and screen the actual role that it plays. This is now confirmed by the show trial of Milosevic in The Hague, basically a policy by the UN to help US in its policy on conquer and rule. What about Iraq and Afghanistan and now Haiti? How can UN allow the disposal of elected leaders and try them as war criminals, when the US itself is the biggest criminal the world has ever seen?

The people of the world know how Imperialism through the hands of Hitler tried to force on the Soviet people his "New World Order". How that ended, is well known to humanity - which had lost over 50,000,000 of their people. This is what awaits all people unless US form of the "New World Order" is not stopped in its tracks! Attacking other countries, while hiding under the slogan of fighting "terrorism" or "totalitarianism," Imperialism is digging its own grave.

From all of the above, there remains a question, how do we organize the international working class? Imperialism is strong and very organized. The working class so far is not. Only an organized working class can save humanity.

The international organizer must become the Communist International. There must be started the work to build the Comintern soon. This is, according to my way of thinking must be the job for the forthcoming Second World Congress of the International Council. This Cominform must include all communist and working class parties, standing on Marxist-Leninist principals. There is no place in this Communist International for parties such as the CPRF of Russia or the CPU of Ukraine, since they say that the "limits for revolutions has gone."

The lessons that are learned from the demise of the USSR gave the international working class a very good insight as to what must be done. This shows as to how dangerous for the working class is the cardinal fact of opportunism, and revisionism - which was allowed to gain the upper hand in the ex-USSR.

In front of us are hard times, but the victory of the working class over imperialism will remain in the minds of our future generations as a heroic page in the history of mankind.
