Law of Mimicry?

BY FELIX GORELIK

You cannot but get upset at the changes that have taken place in our people, which can be described as “massive schizophrenia. How else can you explain that the workers voted for the bourgeois parties – their class enemies? The logic that seems to be working is: “Better to vote for the rich, since they already have robbed enough,  but the poor and the hungry ones will rob even more.” Why aren’t they voting for the Communists, the defenders of the workers? They reply in this way: “The train has already departed.” “The Communists cannot give us anything, they are not in power”, “We went through this before!” They defend this because they lost faith in the top leadership of the CPSU and they state that: “The Communists themselves have liquidated the USSR and started these capitalist reforms!” The results of the votes by the disgruntled people was this – in Russia the CPRF received only 11% of the votes, while in Ukraine, the CPU received only 6% of the votes in the last election.

Capitalism is celebrating its successes, sinking their roots ever deeper to exploit and rob the people and the country

Another mass movement seems to be that former atheists are turning to religion, During Soviet times the religious numbers were minimum, but now under capitalism, wearing a cross, going to church has become the fashion and mode. Christians and Muslims, who are well-funded, have started many sects. The present regimes has thrown out all Soviet school books and reality teaching and they are now replaced by fairy tales, such as that Adam and Eve started the human race – all this is taught from the very beginning to children all over former USSR.

The economic and political control is now being helped by religious control, sowing the seeds of vicious anti-Communism.

Their message now is to convince the people that Marxism-Leninism is not a science, but utopia!

I am not going to describe here as to why the counter-revolution in the USSR was successful – I have written books on this and there are scores of other scientific analyses which give clear reasons as to the revisionist cancer that had impregnated the CPSU after Stalin died in 1953.

The preset drastic economic situation, the robbery of natural resources, the oligarchs, the division of our society into classes, is giving rise to ever-growing protests. These protests are developing a new generation of young Komsomols and Communists, who have taken up the torch of Socialism, the Red Flag of their parents and grandparents.

Here is just one example that points to the ever-growing movement of young people towards socialism and back to the USSR.

I was phoned by a young student attending the 11 class, Katya Kotova, who saw and hard my TV talk and criticism of the preset school books on history which are now making heroes of the Ukrainian OUN-UPA fascist bandits. She just recently joined the Komsomol in Ukraine, wants to struggle to resurrect the USSR, under which she did not live under. But she heard from her grandmother about Lenin, Stalin, the USSR, Socialism and the Soviet Red Army Heroes of WW II. After a couple of months I received a letter from, Katya that she is now involved in demonstrations, picketing and attending all the demonstrations, including the November 7th demonstration. At the same time she is gathering around her young students and have them joining the Komsomol. This young patriot had already published a few articles in the newspaper “Sovietyskaya Luganschina”. New fighters for Socialism are growing up like mushrooms after the rain.

It is young people like Katya that the future depends on. There will be thousands and hundreds of thousands of these young Komsomols, and the "law of mimicry" will not be effective as it is now. History has shown this to be true many times. This is the only road forward!
