Author’s Note: Below are a number extracts from the Constitution of the USSR designed to give the reader a general idea of the “flavour” of the Soviet State with regards to how the society was organised around the “collective” and “individual” worker – including the guaranteed equality which existed between the sexes and the races (as well the fit and the unfit), etc. This demonstrates how the Socialist System of the USSR broadly dealt with the issues all States experience – and which are still being experienced today. Of course, the UK is an “unequal” capitalist State premised upon exploitation of the masses, the ownership of private property, and the harvesting of “profit” – with no moral barrier getting in the way. The only rights an individual truly possesses in the UK (as opposed to “theoretically”) – are those he or she can afford to prove in a Court of law via the agency of an expensive lawyer. Nevertheless, a Socialist response to capitalist barbarity is important as we must always strive to keep our hearts open – even when living in hell:
Article 3: The Soviet State is organised and functions on the principle of democratic centralism, namely the electiveness of all bodies of State authority from the lowest to the highest, their accountability to the people, and the obligation of lower bodies to observe the decisions of the higher ones. Democratic centralism combines activity and with the responsibility of each State body and official for the work entrusted to them.
Constitution (Fundamental Law) of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – Chapter 1 – The Political System (1977)
Article 10: The foundation of the economic system of the USSR is Socialist ownership of the means of production in the form of State property (belonging to all the people), and collective farm-co-ooperative property.
Socialist ownership also embraces the property of trade unions and other public organisations which they require to carry out their purposes under their rules.
No one has the right to use Socialist property for personal gain or other selfish ends.
Constitution (Fundamental Law) of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – Chapter 2 – The Economic System (1977)
Article 36: Citizens of the USSR of different races and nationalities have equal rights.
Exercise of these rights is ensured by a policy of all-round development and drawing together of all the nations and nationalities of the USSR, by educating citizens in the spirit of Soviet patriotism and Socialist Internationalism, and by the possibility to use their native language and the languages of other peoples of the USSR.
Any direct or indirect limitation of the rights of citizens or establishment of direct or indirect privileges on grounds of race or nationality, and any advocacy of racial or national exclusiveness, hostility or contempt, are punishable by law.

The hypocritical bourgeoisie pay lip-service to “justice” by passing this law or establishing that regulation – pretending all is now well and the problem has magically “disappeared”. This is merely an exercise in re-arranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic. What is the point of bourgeois laws if those intended to be saved cannot afford to access the legal system? What is the point of laws that are only fair on paper – but non-existence in reality as those with power simply ride over them? No point whatsoever. But consider this, the US concept of “DEI” is in fact a “privilege” benefitting one race over another (a concept outlawed in the USSR – see Article 36). This may seem shocking – but inequality is the entire purpose and foundation of the capitalist system – with DEI (and similar quick fixes) being merely insincere methods that permit minorities to enter the job market and make money. Inequality powers the financial market – like water flowing from high to low – with “debt” being the primary aim (stagnated water that no longer flows). The way to solve capitalist inequality is to wipe it out through the workers seizing the means of production and initiating a Socialist Revolution – thus washing away the scourge of capitalist filth forever.

The language used is often like that seen in a cult or closed-off (apocalyptic) religious movements. Deep-down, each member knows the ideas are “wrong”, “extreme” and/or “damaging” – but this “naughtiness” is precisely why each individual is attracted to this course of action. The subsequent incompatibility with mainstream, human decency is the very reason such a belief (or set of beliefs) is being actively pursued as a type of immature and petulant “rebellion”. The repugnant nature of views included (and there are many) ensures that most who do not share this belief naturally gravitate “away” from the vicinity of those who advocate this deficient way of viewing the world. If the viewpoints were humble and retiring, then no one would probably notice, but given that the far-right is a political entity hell-bent on securing total and complete domination of society – those who hold such views are anything but quiet and reclusive. As the decent masses pull away and sacrifice space to retain their independence, the average far-right fanatic will attempt to enter and seize the newly abandoned area – seeing this as an advancement of their far-right political agenda.
Of course, the weak-minded and the vulnerable just have to be around the advocators of far-right ideology for a short length of time – and their thought processes soon align with what is being said. The irony is that the far-right is premised upon the idea of genetic and racial purity – so those with low IQs or confirmed learning difficulties – although accepted for the short-term, will invariably be marked for extermination in the long-term, as and when their converters gain the political power they seek. This all comes down to the failure of the far-right to gain and retain supporters – so the latest wave of overlords are trying to relax the joining criteria so that their numbers appear to be increased. The reality is that numbers are always low compared to the mainstream, or to what the genuine left can muster when it puts its mind to it. The far-right ideologies are unable to see that whereas “race” is not real – “class” undoubtedly is – and its collective nature can be activated at a moment’s notice.
Therefore, the left can just sit and wait (hidden in plain sight) until the need arises – whilst the far-right needs to be seen to be doing something or everyone just ignores it as being stupid and somewhat desperate. My view is that Thatcher and Blair are responsible for racism being allowed into the mainstream so that it has been permitted to permeate the minds of the British youth. Various New Labour, LibDems, and Tory governments have only encouraged its presence rather than took action to decisively remove it from the general discourse. Relatively intelligent White British youths and young people now talk of “encountering” the far-right (as if it is a gnostic text hidden away for centuries in the Palestinian desert), or describing the “grooming” process they have undergone as an “awakening” or “enlightening” experience. It is interesting how the Roman Catholic Church is notorious for supporting fascism and its many variants (including Neo-Nazi Ukraine), and that the converts to the far-right describe their “grooming” in religious terms.
It does not help that British citizens are permitted to travel to Zionist Israel and join the military there to commit genocide in Gaza – or travel to Neo-Nazi Ukraine to fight for the Hitlerite military formations with absolutely no recriminations from the British State. On the other hand, for over a hundred years (since the 1917 Russian Socialist Revolution) the US and its Western European satellites have routinely and continuously demonised Socialism and ridiculed “love” and “compassion” – clearing all opposition to the far-right in the Western mind. This one-sided and conditioning toward the far-right intensified after 1945 and the Red Army’s remarkable victory over Nazi Germany. Being brought up in the era of the US exporting its own particular brand of anti-intellectualism, the youth of the West were erroneously taught that up was down, left was right, back was front – and all kinds of other contradictory falsehoods.
In a kind of “Emperor’s New Clothes” scenario – only those who conformed to the lies were permitted to get on in life. The price paid for a good life within predatory capitalism was reduced to the sacrifice of a) common-sense, and b) objective truth. The US showed its true colours when it executed the Rosenberg’s – when the US Army was losing the Korean War to mostly unarmed Korean and Chinese peasants. This was a warning to the Western working class that the bourgeoisie still held political power and was prepared to go to any lengths to retain it. Paul Robeson, a very intelligent Black man, was punished by the American State for seeing through the lies it told. The injustices are endless. The bourgeoisie is the class that controls the capitalist world – currently headquartered in Washington, Berlin, and Tokyo – the latter two areas being zones of projected localised influence and control of the masses. The point is to deceive the thinking processes of the youth and retain the inverted thinking of the bourgeoisie. The internet since the 1990s has become a vital tool in this process – as US propaganda enters the minds of every child – without the knowledge and consent of the parents.
The EU is a convenient (anti-Socialist) post-1945 entity that guarantees the US control of all central banks, political systems and cultural expressions. The far-right is seen by the bourgeoisie as a frightening animal that can be unleashed one moment – and drawn back in the next – all in the exercise of “misleading” and “controlling” the working class. A disunited working class will be too busy fighting amongst itself (choosing endless little Hitlers – all destined to fail) so that there can be no effective organising to oppose the excesses of capitalism in preparation for the development of Socialism. Fascism on the one-side – Trotskyism on the other. Trotskyism is a deceptive ideology that lurks in the shadows of the left. Its ideology is designed to ensnare the mind of the worker, turn him against Marxist-Leninism (and most of the 20th century) and shift him bodily back toward the bourgeois centre and the voluntary embracing of predatory capitalism.
Marx talks about throwing-off this false consciousness imbued into each worker from birth by learning to think the right way around. The ever present threat of the far-right prevents this process from happening (as does Trotskyism) – so that the dialectical thinking processes of the today’s youth remain confused and vulnerable to outside sources of brainwashing. The effectiveness of this bourgeois strategy is exactly what is being seen on the streets of the UK today. Mass immigration is dictated by the US as it removes the need for effective unions, good pay, jobs for life, and Socialist structures such as the NHS, social housing, social services, and a welfare state. Impoverished and desperate immigrants will take any job with no rights whatsoever (the US model) and therefore undermine the rights of the indigenous UK worker. The answer to this is working class unity, mass protests, and the re-earning of rights. This process would change the socio-economic terrain – so it is exactly what the bourgeoise will not permit. What is allowed is that groups separate down racial lines and continuously conflict. It is the US model of capitalism that is the problem as this is being inflicted upon the world through NATO and many other US-controlled entities.
