from CPG (m-l) to the conference that will be held in Rome in the 10th of November on the 90th anniversary of October Revolution by CARC and other organizations
Dear comrades,
On behalf of CPG (m-l) we would like to express our warmest revolutionary greetings to you and the participants of your conference. Your initiative to celebrate the 90th anniversary of October Revolution is very significant, particularly during this period that the global reaction is trying to criminalize everyone that claims to be communist or even uphold the communist ideas. They are trying to criminalize every attempt of the working class and the people to resist and organize their struggle against the attack of the capitalist-imperialist system across the word; against the plunder of the imperialists and their wars, against the attempt of the capitalist system to abolish the people’s democratic rights –with the pretext of “terrorism”- and gains achieved through long and bloody struggles. The global reaction wishes to delete from people’s memory the gains and the achievements of the communist movement, to slander their struggle and make them believe that capitalism is a one way path.
Whatever they do, it’s impossible to delete history. October Revolution did happen. And the working class managed to establish its state and changed the history of mankind. For, class struggle had been conducted since the first moment that exploitation and oppression were forced upon the wretched of this earth. But October was the first time that it was proved that the working class can seize power and create a new society without exploitation. It inspired the working class and the people across the world and its impact shook the foundations of the whole planet.
Despite the fact it was defeated –not by an external enemy but from the shortcomings and the contradictions the very socialist system had generated and didn’t manage to solve correctly- by the revisionists and capitalism was restored in the Soviet Union and the eastern countries and despite the attempt of Mao and the Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution to answer the same questions and didn’t manage to win, the significance of October revolution remains valuable for the working class and the people across the world.
The first circle closed with the collapse of the revisionist regimes but it was written in the consciousness of billions workers that this first attempt was possible and that its failure wasn’t inevitable; it was simply an incomplete attempt and it required constant confirmation of the worker rule.
October Revolution inspires and guides the revolutionary struggles in countries like
Long Live October Revolution!
Long Live Internationalist Solidarity!
