Statement.
November
7 – a memorable day for all the working class, oppressed and
toiling people. Hundred
years back, on this day, the Russian people led by Lenin, Bolshevik
Party had overthrown the rule of exploiting classes and
raised the flag of victory of Socialist Revolution. On this day, a
most inspiring, promising and beautiful future, a new life was
unveiled before the eyes of vast masses of world people who were
being crushed under the heavy and oppressive chariot wheels of
feudal, colonial, capitalist and autocratic rulers. On this day,the
revolutionary people of Russia had emphatically proved in practice
that the mighty exploiting systems and the rule of exploiting classes
inevitably collapse like castles of cards if the exploited and
oppressed masses of people get united and organized under the
leadership of working class and rise in revolution. The Russian
Socialist Revolution – popularly known as the October Revolution –
is a tremendous revolutionary victory, a leap forward in the
prolonged struggle of the human beings for a change and progress.
This is a victory of the working class, oppressed and toiling people
of the entire world.
During
1900 – 1917, the Russian Proletariat led the democratic revolution
first against the feudal exploitation and oppression and the tsarist
autocratic rule. The working class, peasants, oppressed nations and
all the toiling people had united in this revolution. They waged
countless small and big struggles in the midst of repression and
wrong trends. Millions of workers and peasants rose in waves
of struggles. They have learn from the defeat of 1905 Revolution. The
proletariat has done a patient, determined and relentless work to
unite and further strengthen the worker – peasant alliance and
succeeded too.
From
the beginning, Lenin had guided and led the Russian revolution. This
had ensured a dependable guarantee for the victory of democratic and
socialist revolutions in Russia. Lenin had applied Marxism and
revolutionary experiences to the Russian conditions and the practice
of crores of people. He had developed a correct path, tactics and
methods of work that led the revolution to victory. More
particularly, he emphasized that the proletariat alone
can and must lead the
democratic revolution through to the end and win the socialist
revolution. He taught that a Communist Party, Bolshevik Party which
shuns all kinds of deviationist trends, which is genuine,
sacrificing, disciplined, with unwavering confidence in the
revolutionary potential of the people and which is having countless
dedicated cadres and leaders linked with the masses of people in all
their conditions and provide the leadership to them. Lenin had
tirelessly worked to build such a Party. Stalin was Lenin’s closest
comrade in arms in all phases of struggle and provided the
leadership.
Led
by Lenin, the Russian people foiled the conspiracy of tsarist rulers
who colluded with a group of imperialist powers in the first world
war to destroy the Russian Revolution. “Oppose the imperialist war;
intensify the civil war” - this call of Lenin became a battle cry
for the Russian people and a death bell for the exploiting rulers.
The revolutionary waves of crores of workers, peasants, armed forces
and other oppressed people that erupted in Russia had grown into a
great revolutionary upsurge and swept away the exploiting rulers. The
flag of victory of Socialist Revolution was unfurled everywhere in
Russia.
The
Socialist Revolution in Russia is a great victory for the practice of
Marxism. It took Marxism, Communist Party and the tasks of
Proletariat to every nook and corner of the world. It inspired to
take up this task. The Communist Parties had emerged in China and
India only in this light. Their activities had expanded.
The
proletarian state in Russia under Lenin and Stalin introduced and
implemented the new policies totally different from those of the
exploiting systems. The exploitation of man by man, a nation by
another nation was abolished; the exploitation of labour and
inequalities were banished; colonialism, imperialism, aggression,
interference and war policies were rejected. The Socialist Russia
stood as a most dependable ally of the nations struggling for
independence and liberation and people’s revolutions.
The solidarity and
support of the Socialist Russia greatly helped the people of various
countries, including China in sustaining, advancing and winning the
revolutions.
At
the time when the imperialist powers were in a serious economic
crisis, in a dog fight among themselves for a better share in the
loot, the Socialist Russia was in a better economic and political
situation and advancing. In the second world war, the imperialist
powers had conspired to destroy the Socialist Russia and turn the
outcome of the war in their own favor. The role played by the
Socialist Russia under the leadership of Stalin in foiling these
conspiracies, in inflicting a death blow on German Fascism and in
seriously weakening imperialism is unprecedented and historic.
The
failure of imperialists and Fascists in their frenzied attempts to
turn the wheel of human progress some decades backward had given a
great push to the advance of world revolution. The Peoples
Democratic Revolutions
were successful in East European Countries. The New Democratic
Revolution was victorious in China under the leadership of Chines
Communist Party and Mao. Revolutions advanced in a number of Asian,
African and Latin American Countries.
The
World Communist Movement came to lead Socialist,Peoples or New
Democratic States, powerful class and revolutionary movements and
enjoy extensive prestige and popularity among the democratic and
peace-loving forces in the world. Thus it emerged as a powerful
political force in the world arena which can challenge imperialism
and reactionary forces. It can be said as a most inspiring and
highest stage in the life of World Communist and Revolutionary
Movement.
However
, the theories of Khrushchev in 1956 had set Russia on the road of
reversal and capitalist restoration. The entire World Communist and
Revolutionary movement suffered a serious setback. The Capitalist
Restoration had gained an upper hand, in China too after Mao. It
inflicted one more serious setback
to Communist and Revolutionary movement. It was a most painful
development for the Communist, Progressive, Democratic, Peace-loving
forces and the world people as a whole. But, the exploiting ruling
classes and imperialists who themselves are in neck deep and
inextricable crisis, rocked by the contradictions among themselves
and encircled by the ever rising flames of people’s discontent,
anger and struggle owing to their utter failure to solve any
problems of the people are making many feats to show these setbacks
as their own victory. They are preaching that the people now are left
with no other way except living under the capitalist system. They are
circulating tons of literature in the world to drown the people in
feelings of demoralization, despair, surrender,
defeatism, retrogression,
reactionary ideas and cultures.
In
the face of these adverse developments, the Communist Revolutionaries
in India are holding high the flag of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse Tung
Thought. They are trying to develop the Class Struggles and
Revolutionary Movements. They are carrying on this revolutionary work
in the face of repression by ruling classes and their tactics to
divide and divert the people. They are struggling to overcome the
deviationist trends manifesting in the movement and in the midst of
ups and downs and setbacks facing he movement.
On
the eve of completion of 100 years of Russia’s Socialist
Revolution, the CPI(ML) is holding a meeting in Vijayawada (AP) on
November 7, 2017 to widely take the Message of Socialist Revolution
to the people. We hope that this meeting will help to understand the
questions like how this revolution was achieved? How it withstood?
How it fought Imperialism and Fascism? What inspiration and strength
this revolution gave to the people fighting throughout the world for
socialism, democracy, independence and peace? The
representatives from various states are massively participating in
this meeting. There will be cultural programmes by the people’s
artists. We invite the Communist sympathizers and people to attend
the program in large number. We appeal to all to extend liberal help
and cooperation in all possible forms for the success of the program.
With
Revolutionary Greetings,
Central
Committee
COMMUNIST
PARTY OF INDIA (Marxist-Leninist) .
