fuckyeahmarxismleninism: “We will yet keep struggling. Long...
“We will yet keep struggling. Long live the Great Socialist October Revolution!”
What a difference a year makes.
When I posted this graphic last year on the anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution (October 25 by the old Russian calendar, November 7 on the modern calendar), even sympathetic readers might have wondered if revolutionary socialism would ever be on the agenda again in our lifetimes.
Now, after the Arab Spring, mass uprisings against austerity in Europe, and the burgeoning Occupy movement in the U.S. and worldwide, it’s clear that, as Lenin said, “Sometimes decades can pass and nothing happens; and then sometimes weeks can pass and decades happen.”
There have been terrible setbacks too: the destruction of Libya’s sovereignty by U.S/NATO, the lynching of nationalist leader Moammar Gadhafi, and the murder just two days ago of Colombian communist leader Alfonso Cano, to name a few.
But the tide is turning. And today, as communist revolutionaries worldwide commemorate the 94th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution and the founding of the world’s first socialist republic in Russia, it is fitting that we redouble our efforts to bring to the new movements, in creative and non-sectarian ways, the critical lessons of Lenin and the Bolsheviks’ experience:
- The need for a revolutionary Marxist party and program
- The crucial role of the working class, employed and unemployed, in fighting the system
- Thoroughgoing anti-imperialism
- Critical importance of combating National Oppression and building solidarity with people of color, women, queer people and all who suffer special oppressions
- The class nature of the police and capitalist state, and the need for workers and oppressed peoples to defend themselves
- The dual power struggle between the old state and the new people-power in the making
- The importance of a socialist perspective and goal
- and so much more!
Every year for the last 94 years, we communists have said: The lessons of October are relevant and vital to peoples fighting for their liberation.
In 2011, not only are these words still true; they are well on their way to taking center stage even in the heartland of imperialism.
Long live the legacy of Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution!
Long live the fighting spirit of the Soviet people! We will never forget you and your great sacrifices for the world revolution!
Workers and oppressed peoples of the world unite!
UNITE!

“Who taught you to hate the color of your skin?Who taught you...
“Who taught you to hate the color of your skin?
Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair?
Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips?
Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?
Who taught you to hate your own kind?
Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other?”- Malcolm X, 1962

I love this picture. It is sexy yet retro (notice the station wagon in the top right). This is one of the pics that made me open an account instead of perpetually lurking.
