Is Imperialism Heading Into Fascism?

Today, the temporary demise of the Soviet Union is promoted as the "absolute end of this communist experiment" as was stated by the monopoly newspaper, "Economist" not too long ago. But, the spark of revolutions, of demonstrations, of unrest, of misery cannot always be hidden from the eyes of the people of the world!

Today, because of the external and internal enemies of Socialism in the former USSR and other socialist nations, the social, political and military levers of power are in the hands of an imperialist power which is more and more pushing forth its internal and external policies that are becoming more and more difficult to distinguish from fascism!

Time has come for all the progressive forces to call this grave and very dangerous situation as it is becoming - fascism! These fascistic elements are being concealed from the public and from the general view. Their accountability to humanity is well hidden behind a smokescreen of public misinformation by the daily media that is itself in their very hands.

We live in the world at the present time, where monopoly capitalism has managed to usurp power in practically all spheres of information in the media and their paid political hacks and traitors. We also live in the world where the scientific and technological advances the world species have developed, together, with the environmental and with the ecological disasters, these imperialist profit driven disasters in the biosphere, now threaten the existence of life on earth.

This has come about because the profit-driven capitalism-imperialism has harnessed natural sciences solely for their profits for over 100 years, and now, more so, since the oil scarcity has driven this US imperialist power and other would be rulers of the world, closer to embrace the raw ideas and methods of fascism, in order to achieve their goal of world domination and the New World Order.

Together with this economic and economic domination, they had to develop more "creative" and more "efficient" and of course, more "profitable" weapons of mass destruction!

But the wheel of time never stands still and is always turning forward, not backwards, giving rise to revolutionary ideas of socialism-communism.

Now the crisis of imperialism cries out on a world scale for a remedy as never before. At the same time the world boundaries of the monopoly capitalists under the aegis of imperialism have grown smaller, more restrictive, and, because imperialist powers do not always love each other, it is becoming much more clearer than ever of many contradictions, rivalry and it might come to conflicts, as history has shown us time and time again.

Trans-national corporate finances now flash over $2 trillion dollars per day around the globe. Why? Computerized and cybernetic production has expanded on a monumental scale, while at the same time there is a drastic shrinking of the work force, job losses, exploitation and slave labour – but the standard of living in most countries has tumbled down on dangerous decline and in an unstoppable spiral.

That is the root of monopoly crisis, and no amount of guns, missiles, smart bombs, laser bombs or internal traitors inside the progressive movement can ever correct it. All these weapons can keep imperialists in power by brute force only for a short time. This brute force as practiced by this so-called US "democracy"- which is another name for outright creeping fascism. This is the basis of Bush’s "New World Order" – with a bible in one hand and a smart bomb in another - and, since Bush talks to God on all matters, mankind should draw a crucial lesson. Mankind should not be lulled to believe that this will just pass away without a struggle.

The people of the world will draw an important lesson and will revive Socialism, because there is no other possible alternative for mankind.

Therefore, the absolute necessity in the former Soviet Union for a genuine unity movement of the communist, socialist parties and movements is paramount, for not only the Soviet people, but for the whole of mankind.

The International Council for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People and the Soviet Society for Friendship with Foreign Countries can and must try to unite parties and organizations worldwide and be that SPARK that will start the process of a genuine United Front against US imperialism and its oncoming creeping fascism! Without such unity, without the resurrection of the USSR and of Socialism, the struggle will be very much harder and much longer.

Let us all make certain that every organization, party or movement in each country that believes in the teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin, plus in the absolute necessity for the resurrection of the Soviet Union, will try to do all in their power to be represented at the upcoming extremely important Third World Congress for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People that will be held in Moscow in 2007 and sponsored by the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Soviet Society for Friendship with Foreign Countries!
