Statement by Soviet Bolsheviks on the 90th Anniversary
of the Great October Socialist Revolution

This year 2007 marks the 90th Anniversary since the Great October Socialist Revolution, carried out under the leadership of V.I. Lenin and the Bolshevik Party created by him.

For the successful carrying out of a socialist revolution it is necessary to combine very many factors simultaneously, the main ones of which are:

If the Russians did not have V.I. Lenin, it is hard to say as to whether or not a great victorious socialist revolution would have been possible.

Vladimir Lenin was one of the most deepest and original thinkers that mankind ever gave birth to. The Leninist theoretical legacy is colossal and is a priceless treasure house of revolutionary thought, of the world liberation movements and world culture. Having thoroughly developed the revolutionary thoughts of Marx and Engels, Lenin gave answers to actual questions put forth by history. The correctness of his theoretical conclusions and political decisions were based on his deep understanding of the laws of social progress, of strict realism in combination with innovative courage of the mind.

Lenin and Leninism (Bolshevism) remain today the compass for the worlds proletariat and all of the revolutionary forces in modern times, since no matter how contradictory the world map appears in our days, its main characteristics, main decisive tendencies of world development are namely those which Lenin could foresee and foresaw, and, which his pupil and follower J.V. Stalin followed in building the mighty Soviet Union.

This year 2007 has become for the imperialist society, a year of further tremors on the international financial markets, initiated by the US mortgage crisis. The Imperialist world, including Russia now, supports the collapsing American economy with all their might and financial infusions.

The counter-revolution in the USSR, which led to the break-up of the Soviet Union, gave a huge opportunity to America to hang on without a care in the world for two decades. By the words of former US President Reagan himself, Gorbachev economized the US by over $300 billions. Now the USA has longer the same chance.

The Perestroika which was organized and carried out by the higher nomeklatura inside the CPSU, in close partnership with the cosmopolitizing pro-Zionist minded intelligentsia in the USSR, and together with the most powerful financial and ideological aid given by the “men of perestroika”, primarily on part of the USA (anti-communism and betrayal in our ranks have always been well paid by the West). Perestroika was and is a social-political revenge by imperialism for its past defeats in the struggles against world socialism led by the Soviet Union.

Today US continues to finance any and all the betrayers in our country for organizing in all of the former Soviet republics “orange revolutions”, for the final break up of the Soviet people and its physical destruction from the present unbearable hardships of life.

The only way we are going to preserve our nation and resurrect the Soviet Union – our common Fatherland – is by putting an end to this criminal capitalism that has been unleashed upon us. This can only be done by revolutionary means and not in only “debates or discussions” or in bourgeois parliaments. One has to be very naive to think that by casting a voting ballot in elections, one will be able to change the social-political system. The Oligarchs dictate the rules to the president, whom they see as their top manager. It is only they, the ruling oligarchs who determine the form of power, which they call a “democracy” (for the rich). Such is the hierarchy of power in all states, including Russia, in this imperialist community.

Russia during the last 15 years of counter-revolution has given birth to 44 multi-billionaire Oligarchs. These 44 now own all the means of production in the country, and yet they and their cohorts make up just under 1% of the population. As an example, here is one Oligarch, O. Deripaska who has over $22 Billions stashed away in foreign banks, this is what he said as to why the present regime needs some so-called “opposition” in Russia. He said the following, which is the opinion of all of these oligarchs:

“An opposition in the structure of power in Russia and elsewhere is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the technology of ruling the masses becomes inadequate. But we do not need just any opposition. In Russia for example, we have been very successful in forming non-marginal opposition structures and we do manage them very well. Their functionaries - leaders are ours and are very well paid by us. There exist also marginal groups as well in Russia – we also work very closely with them – give them, take from them and so forth!”

The meetings, conferences of communist parties that are held regularly, how effective are these meetings? The yearly meetings of communists in Greece (there were more than 70 parties attended) in Athens two years ago, cause me great perplexity. This high communist forum failed to adopt a special separate Resolution in support of DPRK (North Korea), one of two remaining socialist countries (the second one is Cuba). Who was it that frightened this Communist Forum in Athens? Was it the USA? Was it worth gathering such an impressive Forum in order to adopt a lukewarm semblance of this document, which didn’t bind any party to do anything? To our way of thinking, this bears a deep social-democratic degeneration of these communist parties of Europe.

How prepared is the communist movement on the territory of ex-USSR to the impending battles today? It is not prepared! The divisions are due to the actual social-democratic essence of the majority of the parties that call themselves communists. Also this is due to the ambitions of its leaders, by any means to climb into the bourgeois parliament seats for themselves only and, to try and drag other comrades from other parties to the detriment of the main cause. Unfortunately a great majority of the communist and the so-called communist parties are infected with the virus of eradicating Marxism and their leaning towards the social-democratic positions.

In this complicated, dangerous and difficult process of unification, there is a great need to have the support of the world communist movement. The struggle for socialism needs the international revolutionary proletariat, because Capitalism has tied the entire world in to a single economic organism; that is why this struggle can only be international. Unfortunately this is not being observed today.

One example is how one can qualify on the part of the Communist Party of Byelorussia, the Communist Part of the Russian Federation and the Communist Party of Greece (leader comrade Papariga) who organized this International conference in Minsk, on the occasion of the 90th Anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution – (which was carried out by the Bolsheviks led by V.I. Lenin) refusing us, the Bolsheviks of the AUCPB in taking part in this conference?

No matter how hard this struggle is or what new difficulties stand in our way towards the defeat of the counter-revolution, WE WHO ARE THE DEDICATED BOLSHEVIKS, will be the victors, because on our side stands the truth of history and the true struggle for real justice on this earth.

On this the 90th Anniversary of thy Great October Revolution, in the name of our party, I congratulate the members of the AUCPB, our comrades and friends in the communist movements all over the world and our friends and like-minded thinkers abroad.

I sincerely wish all of us success in the struggle for socialism on earth.

Long live the Great October Socialist Revolution!

Long live the international unity and solidarity in the struggle against international capital!

Workers of all countries, unite!

COMMENT:

It would have been only proper to have invited the ONLY world-wide international organization that is solely dedicated to Socialism and the resurrection of the Soviet Union since 1918 when the “Hands Off Russia Committee” was set up in Canada - to this 90th Anniversary. Most of these preset leaders that have organized this 90th Anniversary celebration were not even born when the struggle to save the Revolution started!

Leaders like you comrades come and go, but TRUE FRIENDS of Socialism and of the Soviet Union will live on forever!

VENCEREMOS!
