Deprived of his father’s love at a young age, Stalin developed a distinctly rebellious character, a daring spirit of adventure, and a willingness to fight—key factors in his subsequent development as a staunch Marxist and Lenin’s successor. His personality enabled him to make tremendous historical contributions to Soviet governance, the Communist Party, and the military, leaving behind both glory and retribution. He was a historical giant, both charismatic and discerning.
Another tiger-trap is the “National Bolshevik” movement. To be clear, I am a Bolshevik (from the Chinese perspective) – but I am not a nationalist (Indeed, I am an “Internationalist” – a Maoist no less). The “Naz-Bol” movement evolved out of a fascist-infected (post-1991) Russia. This movement integrates Hitler’s ideology with a post-1945 US (Cold War) misidentification of Joseph Stalin. This flawed ideology misinforms that there is “no difference” between historical Hitler and a fictional Stalin. Well, 41 million dead and wounded Soviet citizens would beg to differ. Naz-Bols combine Marxist-Leninist economics with Hitler’s warped theories on race. This rejects the Marxist idea of “Internationalism”. On the face of it, these deluded individuals will talk highly of Stalin (as I do) – and then state he is no different to Hitler (which I definitely do not) – claiming both were ruthlessly racist (a complete lie – Stalin wasn’t even Russian).
How can we effectively campaign when there are continuous newcomers who are willing to do our jobs for less payment under worse conditions? Mass immigration is a bourgeois attack upon the working-class. It is the bourgeois that is the criminal here – not the migrants. The migrants are us – they are the working-class from other areas – that is all. The bourgeoisie is using a poorer element of the working-class (the “migrants”) to attack a richer element of the working-class (the population of the UK). The far-right, as usual, perceives everything the wrong way around. As the far-right supports both capitalism and the bourgeoisie – they use misdirection and encourage attacks upon the migrants. To do this, the far-right must propagate hatred throughout the UK working-class – and direct the “British” working-class (marching behind the streaming George Crosses of racist nationalism) to attack another (innocent) group of the working-class. The far-right makes fools of us all. A fake British nationalism is aimed at a disempowered and weakened group of foreign workers – whilst the controlling bourgeoisie sits back and watches with a smile on its face – as the working-class destroys itself over a false dichotomy. Whilst the UK is busy doing all this false consciousness activity – Socialism cannot be achieved.
The Japanese imperialists inflicted tyranny and violence unprecedented in human history in an attempt to stamp out even the soul and spirit of Korea, but they could not break its people’s steadfast spirit for independence; the patriotic anti-Japanese struggle of the people to win back their national sovereignty at the cost of their lives did not stop even a moment.
The armed struggle of their fine sons and daughters against the militarist Japan that emerged as a power in Asia was a death-defying, bloody resistance they fought shouldering the destiny of their country and their descendants and overcoming severe ordeals and painful sacrifices; and the anti-Japanese revolutionary feats they performed from the consistent independent stand are clear proof of the course the Korean people pioneered to achieve independence by their own efforts.
It is in no way an accidental event in the course of history, but the victory won by the all-people anti-Japanese forces that fought unto death in the spirit of independence. Herein lies the revolutionary character and political importance of our cause of liberation.
