Russian Communist Workers Party
Recently we celebrated together important anniversaries: Centennial Anniversary of October Revolution and Comintern, 200 years since the birth of Marx, 150 years since the birth of V.I. to be followed soon by the 200th anniversary of General of proletarian army Fridrich Engels (November 28). In materials of all communists parties (both by separate parties and in collaboration of several parties) there is unequivocally stated correctness of our teaching – Compass of Marxism shows cor- Marxism-Leninism. This teaching with absolute precirect direction sion reveals the exploiting essence of capitalism that cannot be changed by any humanitarian reforms or Viktor Tyulkin, Secretary of Russian Workers’ center-left models; it demonstrates cyclic economic Party Central Committee crises, whereas Lenin’s theory of imperialism explains with great precision current endless conflicts as well as the toughest economic and “classic” external and internal wars. We all know famous saying of Lenin: “The Marxist doctrine is omnipotent because it is true. It is comprehensive and harmonious, and provides men with an integral world outlook irreconcilable with any form of superstition, reaction, or defense of bourgeois oppression”. Our practice, correctness of forecasts and quite materialistic explanations of what’s going on prove that it’s true. Still to find proofs that this teaching is omnipotent proved to be much more difficult, and now, after the defeat (and we are sure that it’s a temporary defeat) of socialism in USSR and the downfall of Soviet Union we’ve been in retreat. Why so? It’s because it’s not enough to know, one should also be able to turn one’s knowledge into practice. It’s because theory becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses, and it’s not so easy to achieve. It’s because it’s not enough to call yourself Marxist and communist, it’s not enough to swear and hour the fame of our great revolutionary teachers, we should adhere to the essence of this teaching, avoid losing its revolutionary spirit, avoid leaving science and coming over to dogmatism or primitivism. To do this we have to correctly analyze our own mistakes of the Soviet period based on Lenin’s indication: Nobody can ruin us but our own mistakes. From our point of view nowadays both parties that are in opposition as well as the parties with communist names that are part of state power have been committing these mistakes, i.e. the crisis in communist movement has not only been overcome, it hasn’t been properly diagnosed. Largely the current situation resembles the general degeneration and decomposition of the old parties in the times of the 2nd International. We can say even more: modern opportunism and revisionism have turned into well-organized weapon directed by bourgeoisie, whereas in the past they used to be internal “benign” and natural delusions characIB Special Edition
