Comrade Kim Jong Un said that the 75-year history of our Republic demonstrates the iron principle that independence and self-reliance depend on strong self-defence, and that the entire people of the country must firmly hold the gun in one hand and the machete, sickle, and brush in the other, and demonstrate the absolute power of single-minded unity. He said that we must firmly protect the precious achievements of the revolution with the power of the all-people decisive battle.
Author’s Note: Alexander Werth was born in Russia in 1901 and emigrated to the UK with his family during the 1917 Russian Revolution. Although his father had been a railwayman (and working-class) – following his early death his mother had remarried a thoroughly ‘Bourgeois’ banker – which led to him being forcibly ‘extracted’ out of Revolutionary Russia at the critical moment of its greatest humanitarian success! Despite a thoroughly ‘Bourgeois’ upbringing in the UK – an ‘English Gentleman’ no less – Alexander Werth retained an interest in the machinations of his Russian (Soviet) homeland, an interest bolstered by the fact that he could fluently read, write and speak the Russian language! Indeed, working as a BBC Journalist during WWII, Alexander Werth secured a permanent frontline posting with the Soviet Red Army and witnessed first-hand the barbarism of the Nazi German invasion! Due to his loyalty to the Soviet Cause, after the conflict he was granted a face-to-face interview with Comrade Joseph Stalin – who assured him that the USSR would NEVER go to war with the US or UK – as both countries (and peoples) had diligently stood by the USSR as reliable ‘Allies’ during the darkest days of the Nazi German (and ‘Axis’) invasion! Stalin was particularly appreciative of the UK which had stood alone from 1939-1941 – an example which had inspired the Soviet people to endure the unendurable! Having spent the years 1941-1949 in the USSR – Alexander Werth returned in 1959 to see what changes had occurred following Khrushchev’s denouncement of Joseph Stalin! In his book ‘Russia At War’, Alexander Werth had exposed the fact that Nikita Khrushchev – the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Ukraine – had been given the task of coordinating and leading the defence of the region against the Nazi German onslaught during 1941! Khrushchev had ordered the Soviet Red Army in the region to ‘fight to the last man’ whilst he quietly caught the last aeroplane out – thus abandoning the Communist Party and the Red Army to their horrific fates! Stalin knew about Khrushchev’s cowardice and there was always the threat of Khrushchev being arrested and tried for his behaviour – when Stalin had fewer pressing issues to deal with! This is the basis behind Khrushchev’s betrayal of Stalin and the adoption of a Trotskyite direction the USSR adopted after 1956 (resisted by Maoist China)! It is interesting to note that Marshal Zhukov REFUSED Khrushchev’s demands that he alters his biography and ‘denounce’ Joseph Stalin! In many ways the book extracted here covers the Marxist-Leninist ground that served as the foundation of the USSR! Although entitled ‘Soviet Man’ – today this title might be better translated as ‘Soviet Person’ or even ‘Soviet Humanity’, etc, as such a ‘new’ Socialist human-being includes ALL men, women and children without exception! This is what the Communist Party of the Soviet Union intended on December 30th, 1922, when the ‘Union of Soviet Socialist Republics’ (USSR) was announced, developed and constructed! Long Live the USSR! Long Live Lenin and Stalin! ACW (30.12.2022)
Author’s Note: Some years ago, I acquired some rare volumes of books from the library of the ‘New Communist Party’ (NCP) in London. This noble institution possessed a number of collections directly linked to the old ‘Communist Party of Great Britain’ (CPGB) – which dissolved itself in 1991 during an ideological panic. The NCP had broken away from the CPGB during 1978 on the principle of wanting to continue in the tradition of respecting the reputation and history of Comrade Joseph Stalin. Since then, of course, the NCP has twisted and turned in its ideological alignment and orientation – but I am very grateful for the thirteen volumes of the Collected Works of Joseph Stalin this organisation furnished myself with – particularly as this set included two further books, a Short Course in the ‘History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolshevik)’ and the ‘A Short Biography of Joseph Stalin’! All these books were printed (in English) in the Soviet Union and are very respectful ‘hardback’ editions. I have placed various extracts on this blog as a tribute to the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the USSR – which happened on December 30th, 1922 – and here I place a short extract of the biography of Joseph Stalin! It is clear that there could be no USSR without the defeat of Trotskyism – very much an ‘enemy within’! ACW (26.12.2022)
Between 1914-1917 – the Russian people were allied with the UK against the Germans as allies during WWI. In that time, the Russian people lost around three-million casualties (mostly soldiers recruited from the peasant and workers’ class). This pointless mass murder unleashed various Revolutionary Forces throughout society – and the Russian Bolsheviks were eventually propelled into power through their slogan of ‘All Power to the Soviets’! The Bolsheviks were granted the ‘collective’ power held by their working associations (Soviets) – with Lenin ‘elected’ into the role of ‘General Secretary’ of the Communist Party of Russia! As a consequence, Lenin pulled Russia out of the war and thereby saved millions of lives! Following the Russian Revolution and Russia’s extraction from WWI, the UK, US (and twelve of their allies) militarily invaded Revolutionary Russia (between 1918-1921) and inflicted an attempted genocide upon the Russian toiling masses! This was aided and abetted by Imperial Germany which invaded Revolutionary Russia (together with six of its allies) between April-November 1918 (primarily operating in West Ukraine to the joy of the local Catholic population). Between April-November 1918 – British and German soldiers (primarily of working-class stock), fought shoulder to shoulder as ‘allies’ within Revolutionary Russia – whilst their British and German Comrades-in-Arms still killed one another as ‘enemies’ in the mud and filth of France and Belgium! This is part of the duplicitous ‘bourgeois’ history of WWI (and its immediate aftermath) that is never taught in schools nowadays! This mass invasion of Revolutionary Russia cost the lives of at least 10.5 million Russian people and has become known (rather bizarrely) as the ‘Russian Civil War’ – as if the Russians did all this to itself! And yet out of all this destruction, Lenin (and Stalin) cleverly manoeuvred the Revolutionary Russian people through the Revolutionary process, and a war with the entire known world! This they did in an expert manner and then established the ‘Union of Soviet Socialist Republics’ (USSR)!
Petro Symonenko began his speech by describing the current situation in Ukraine, in particular, he spoke about the active ‘De-Communization’ carried out by the Kyiv elite: “The current Ukrainian government is trying to eliminate everything that belongs to the leftist regime.” In his opinion, the Collective West has turned Ukraine into a springboard for a fight against Russia, therefore, in today’s realities, the 100th Anniversary of the formation of the USSR is an opportunity to demonstrate the solidarity of all fraternal peoples. “Only the Communist Party today realistically assesses the situation and offers ways to solve the problems we are facing,” said Petr Nikolayevich. He also added that in the current realities, coordinated and consistent work with foreign Communist Parties is especially important.
