Over the years since that great event took place that shook the world, much has been written, berated, derided, lied about and since 1917 efforts never ceased by Imperialism and traitors of all shades in order to try and sweep this glorious event from the memory of people, especially the new younger generations that are daily bombarded with lies about this great historical event in the history of human civilization.

With the upcoming 90th Anniversary of this great event in 2007 and with the plan to hold the Third World Congress for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People in Moscow on November 5-6-7th in 2007, it is necessary to refresh our memory about this October Revolution that changed the world forever and showed the way forward for humanity that neither fascism was able to defeat or to stop, or that imperialism will never be able to defeat or stop either.

The event in 1917 ushered in a new era, that which had been but a dream of great thinkers of the past and in 1917 became a reality in the Soviet Union. This shining beacon of light showed the whole world the path they should take, and now, the people of the world know the path and will overcome all obstacles, all defeats, all traitorous promises by all of these undercover tools of imperialism and of the demagogic promises of the so-called communists, socialists alike.

Lenin, the great leader of mankind proved that in the epoch of imperialism the socialist revolution is the only answer to dismantle the chains of exploitation. Stalin, the true follower of Lenin carried out this task, against insurmountable odds to build a socialist system in the conditions of very hard and extreme backwardness, internal and external enemies, civil war, sabotage, foreign intervention, Second World War, followed by the Cold War, struggle against the internal enemies that were in the payroll of foreign imperialists.

Events since the temporary demise of the USSR have shown us very vividly that the temporary victory of capitalism-imperialism in the former USSR and in former socialist countries could not have been accomplished without Imperialism having organized and trained these internal traitors who pretended to be Marxists-Leninists and Communists.

Progressive movement all over the world must learn from this experience in order not to make the same mistakes as were made, since an enemy of progress is always an enemy, no matter how they hide, no matter what clever subterfuge they use to hoodwink the people.

We must never give up our struggles against imperialism and their stooges, no matter in what cloth they wrap themselves in or what Marxist phrases they mouth off like a priest in church.

It is encouraging to see that more and more young people all over former Soviet Union are rising up, demonstrating, fighting for the resurrection of the USSR and Socialism. Hundreds are jailed, killed, beaten up, tortured - but their ranks are growing, the enthusiasm is there and it is involving more and more of the younger generation who are victims of this newly imposed capitalism.

We are here printing some photographs of some of these young Communists-Komsomols, who hold Marxist Camps to train the future fighters for Socialism, members of the Vanguard of Communist Youth and other Komsomol organizations that are springing up all over former Soviet Union republics.

They are the Vanguard fighters for Socialism!

THEY ARE THE FUTURE!

Here is the Future for the Resurrection of Socialism and the USSR!
We are receiving more and more news and photographs of young Komsomol and Bolshevik members who organize summer Marxist teaching camps and who are regularly at the forefront, leading marches of protest demonstrations and agitation.
Yes, they are the future!
