Time does not stand still but rushes on its spiral of development of history. Unfortunately the Book of Eternity is not always full of pages of light and success. Many dark pages emerge that show the spiral of episodes that set mankind back in its striving for a better future.
Such is the very raw and unpredictable law of development. Such is the road of the development of mankind and its striving for the cause of the working class. The triumphant success of the Great October Revolution was stopped by the traitorous acts of the party-government top echelons. This defeat was the signal for worldwide terrorism and the attacks of Imperialism of US and NATO.
But nevertheless – why was there a defeat of the first socialist state in the world? Why did our country, the most dynamic, the one that broke the back of word Fascism, saved the world from the "black death" of Hitlerism – why was it dismembered? Knowing all of the problems, I would like to touch only on some specifics.
The apologists for Imperialism to this day are asking the question as to how was it possible that Russia, that backward country of not too long ago, could have withstood for 70 years the intervention, the attacks, the internal paid enemies, saboteurs, the spies, the provocateurs, the economic embargo, the manipulation of currency etc. – all pushed, planned, promoted and sent by world imperialist powers?
This was only possible because heading the state was none other than Stalin. In reality, it is a fact that there was only a 10-15 year period that the Soviet Union had what is called peace in its development! But, what kind of peace was it, when at any moment the USSR could have been attacked and bloody war to follow? We always lived under terror of Imperialism since the Great October Revolution! In reality, our country in such a small time limit did fantastic things in the economy, industry, agriculture, and was also forced to develop the atomic weapons in defense of the planned attacks by Imperialism!
But why did the catastrophe happen anyway? It is because of the enormous energy and unbelievable hardships that we had to go into defending the country from attacks
and all of the enemies – plus the loss of the leading and dedicated people. During the Great Patriotic War the country lost millions of its best sons and daughters, the most dedicated comrades, the leading Bolsheviks, not to speak of the tremendous loss in the economy and complete devastation. The people thought that after the victory there will be peace and rest – and that the class struggles were done with forever, that the class enemy was defeated once and for all!This was just a mirage! The class struggle, as was foretold by J.V. Stalin, had adopted new forms, much sharper and clever than the open struggles. The internal bourgeois enemies were certain that the tremendous loss during the Second World War of the most dedicated Communists-Bolsheviks would weaken the solidarity of the CPSU and of the USSR. Then in the middle of the 1950s, after Stalin's death, the opportunism in the CPSU leadership started to manifest itself… culminating in Khrushchev’s revisionism. The most severe attacks on Socialism was perpetrated
by Gorbachev and Yeltsin and now carried on by Putin. Let us also remember that Mao Tsetung also warned about the internal enemies, when he made this statement: "Carrying on a revolution and leading it, you must know where the former bourgeoisie went. They are in fact right inside the Communist Party, and they will demagogically lead the country into capitalism, if they are not exposed and defeated!" Were these not prophetic words?I would ask our readers to look for a moment at the following. The first ten years of building the Soviet state were full of extreme hardships. Class struggles against the remaining enemies, a civil war, a world war did not help to go to socialist democracy as Socialism in peaceful conditions demanded. War discipline had to be instituted in the life and death struggles. But, leading the nation were dedicated Bolsheviks. They defeated the internal and
external enemies – they oversaw the building of industrialization and the beginning of socialism. People believed wholeheartedly in the Communist Party leadership, they were building the first stages towards Communism. Obviously the enemies were not at all defeated... they went underground and joined the CPSU and then awaited their moment, meanwhile sabotaging secretly the building of socialism. They waited for close to 30 years in a planned strategy of sabotage in order to gain their counter-revolutionary victory.The lessons that should be learned by everyone is that the CPSU had let its guard down as well as the Soviet people who believed in the Communist leadership, without some people realizing as to the Trojan horses inside the CPSU.
So that such traitorous acts should not happen again, all Communist partiers should always be vigilant and make certain that the dictatorship of the proletariat is maintained until the final victory of Socialism and the beginning of a Communist society. The ownership of the means of production must always remain in the hands of the working class. There is no other way to build socialism – all other means are only demagogic and opportunistic!
Soviet society headed by these opportunists, who usurped power after 1953, was not schooled in detecting the break away from Marxism-Leninism by the Trojan horse leadership in the CPSU. This dedication must always be in front, vigilant and ready to defend the socialist ideal and ideology.
As an example of the leadership of the Communist party in Cuba and North Korea, the people of these two countries are aware and ready to defend their countries from US imperialism and have taken steps to guarantee their freedom. Even though these two countries are in the grips of an economic blockade, they are fighting and defending themselves from the plans sponsored by US imperialism. But North Korea and Cuba need worldwide people’s support. We must say loudly "NO!" to the international terrorism as sponsored and promoted by the United States of America! The ideals of Socialism and Communism will never be beaten!
