The Communist

22/07/2022

Today is the 70th anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution of the Polish People's Republic. Like other socialist countries in Europe barred from Marshall Plan dollars, the PPR developed objectively superior healthcare, education, and housing programs compared to anything accomplished in capitalist Europe. For over 35 years, the Polish working class lived free from the exploitation of one human being by another. Today, Poland trails only the United States in weapon sales to the fascist regime in Ukraine [1]. We stand in solidarity with the Polish working class in their struggle to rebuild the Polish People's Republic.

Comrade workers, the time to become a militant unionist is here.

We must all aspire to unionize when possible; work with and amongst the working class for a better tomorrow.

Your efforts in trade unions and in the Party will be your steps towards liberation.

Today we mark 96 years since the passing of Felix Dzerzhinsky, also known as "Iron Felix." Comrade Dzerzhinsky was a prominent early Bolshevik who served on the Supreme Board of the National Economy among his more prominent positions as leader of the Cheka, GPU or State Political Directorate, and the OPGU, or Joint State Political Directorate.

Dzerzhinsky left a legacy as a committed revolutionary and the importance of dedicating oneself to revolutionary activities. Iron Felix was buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis and is notable for being one of the twelve individual tombs located between Lenin's Mausoleum and the Kremlin Wall.

The "July Days" was a period of bubbling revolutionary struggle in Petrograd, Russia in the summer of 1917. Proletarian soldiers, industrial workers, and sailors engaged in spontaneous armed demonstrations, disgusted by the conduct of the liberal Kerensky government. The liberals cracked down hard, and many Bolshevik leaders were forced to flee the country. Just four months later, this typical display of liberal reaction would boomerang back in a mighty blast known as the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917. Long live the struggle for Soviet power! Long live the Bolshevik Revolution!

On July 13th, 2022, President Joe Biden of the United States of America landed in occupied Palestine, also known as the State of Israel.

Biden has been a long-time supporter of the apartheid-state, befriending every prime minister since Golda Meir (1969-1974). During his visit, Biden was quoted saying, "The connection between the Israeli people and the American people is bone deep. It's bone deep. Generation after generation, that connection grows. We invest in each other. We dream together. We’re part of what has always been the objective we both had" (1). This statement by the commander-in-chief is unsurprising given the United States' criminal history as a proponent of imperialist, apartheid, settler-colonial violence, and f*scist regimes. Biden reaffirmed his commitment to the brutality against the Palestinian people stating that "You need not be a Jew to be a Zionist," (2).

Zionism is fascism. It is apartheid. The Party of Communists U.S.A. denounces Biden's false statement on the connection between the Israeli people and the American people. The PCUSA condemns Zionism and the continual racist and illegal expulsion of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel. The PCUSA calls for an end to the U.S.'s $3.8 billion annual investment in Israel and a withdrawal of all US military involvement in the region, an end to Israel's genocidal policies against the Palestinian people, and calls for the recognition of the Palestinian state and an end to the continual encroachment of the Israel state.

Solidarity with Palestine!
Long live the Palestinian struggle!
Palestine will be free from the river to the sea!

Lyudmila Pavlichenko was born 106 years ago today in modern-day Ukraine.

She served gallantly during World War II fighting against hoardes of N*zis. During her time in service, she became the most successful female sniper in recorded history with 309 kills.

As a result of Pavlichenko's service, she was awarded the highest honor in the Soviet Union: the Hero of the Soviet Union.

"Every time my bullet fells a N*zi I have the feeling that I have saved lives. Any people who have had N*zis trampling over their land know that. For the N*zis kill children, women, old men. To let a N*zi remain alive in your land is to abet the murder of your own people. Only the dead N*zi can he trusted to leave the innocent unharmed. Every Hitlerite killed is a step forward on the road to the liberation of mankind," (Pavlichenko 1942).

We take today to honor the contributions of comrade C.E. Ruthenberg to the American Communist movement. Born in 1882, Ruthenberg lived in the same world as Lenin and struggled relentlessly to unify the Communist forces in this country to build a strong Bolshevik party. He was the first Executive Secretary of what was then called the Communist Party of America and is one of three American Communists buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Much like the PCUSA is carrying on the struggle to re-establish a Bolshevik party in this country, comrade Ruthenberg was one of the leaders in the establishment of such a Party. The PCUSA will ensure that the memory of comrade Ruthenberg is never lost! Long live Bolshevism in America!

Patrice Émery Lumumba was born 97 years ago today in the former Belgian Congo. Lumumba was the first Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo and led the fight to liberate the Congo from the Belgians and create a centralized government to foster a sense of national unity and push the new country forward.

Only three months into his term, Lumumba was assassinated by his former Chief of Staff, Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, with the help of the Belgians and the United States.

In 2022, Patrice Lumumba's gold-capped tooth - his only remains - were repatriated to the Democratic Republic of the Congo by the Belgians.

Fascism and its roots are deepening in the capitalist world. The United States of America took in scientists and other bad actors from the German Reich after World War II. Today, the U.S. continues to be inspired by H*tler and his malicious views and policies.

In 1943, the Reich enacted anti-abortion laws stating that: "A woman who kills her fetus or permits such a killing by another will be punished by a prison sentence…. Whoever else kills the fetus of a pregnant woman will be also punished by prison. If the perpetrator… continuously impairs the vitality of the German Volk, the death penalty can be imposed," (David, Henry, Jochen Fleischhacker, and Charlotte Hohn 1988).

Misogyny, jingoism, and racism will forever be intertwined and united under the faux gold banner of capitalism.

49 years ago today, we lost comrade Earl Browder, who was an American Communist that was sent to prison multiple times for fighting for the working class. The Communist Party proudly ran Earl Browder for president, not once but twice. He added many valuable writings to the history of our movement, but also, unfortunately, played a liquidationist role that resulted in the temporary reorientation from the CPUSA to the CPA (Communist Political Association). Browder's negative role can be read about in William Z. Foster's "The Struggle Against Revisionism." In the spirit of harnessing the positive elements from our past and learning from our mistakes, our Party has clubs with namesakes featuring both comrades Browder and Foster.

CHILE'S FIRST SOCIALIST PRESIDENT

To understand Allende's importance, there must be a general understanding of Latin America's post-colonial development. The 19th century was marked by oligarchical rule without room for democracy; the 1930s - 1960s gave way to new populist movements where the old establishment was shaken up by labor and feminist actors. However, populism gave way to neoliberalism after brutal sanctions and violent coups by foreign and domestic actors.

Allende became the President of Chile on November 3, 1970, and began to restructure Chilean society in a low-level socialist perspective akin to social democracy.

Chile faced the possibility of change with Salvador Allende in the 1970s, but he would be ousted in a violent coup by a right-wing reactionary propped up by the U.S. government. To understand this, one needs to look no further than Kissinger’s words on Chile in 1970: “I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist because of the irresponsibility of its own people."

A 2011 autopsy found that Allende committed su***de during Pinochet's coup and violent, fascist attack on the government.

Yesterday, our comrades in Northern California were attacked by anarchists, who served as the unpaid enforcement wing of the capitalist state. Our comrades, including multiple grandfathers and a Red Army veteran, were engaging their community at a book fair by offering Marxist-Leninist literature at their table. They were educating workers on the need to unify as a class against capitalism, and the importance of working toward building socialism. Near the end of the event, a collection of individualist anarchists (serving as the unpaid arm of the capitalist class) tipped our comrades' table over and stole and destroyed materials. Thankfully no one was hurt. As comrade Stalin said over 100 years ago: 'Anarchists are real enemies of Marxism. Accordingly, we also hold that a real struggle must be waged against real enemies.

In late May of 2022, two representatives of the International Department of the Central Committee of the PCUSA traveled to Western Sahara to attend a conference hosted by the Polisario Front. Fighting against Western Sahara's status as the last colony of Africa, the Polisario Front is a Saharawi national liberation movement looking to free themselves from Moroccan occupation and subordination. Our comrades visited refugee camps in Tindouf, Algeria, in which our Saharawi comrades suffer from inhumane living conditions and displacement from their homeland. Our comrades also had the historic opportunity to meet with the head of state of another country, his excellency President Brahim Ghali. The PCUSA looks forward to strengthening its ties with the Saharawi people in their struggle against Moroccan subjugation and oppression. Long live the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic! Freedom for the Saharawi people!

We've heard enough about Ukrainian N***s, let's go over some real Ukrainian heroes: Bolsheviks. Due to their immeasurable contributions to the Ukrainian working class, the legacies of these comrades have been tarnished and buried by contemporary agents of Ukrainian fascism. We will never forget the legacy of Soviet Ukraine and we will always cherish the sacrifices made by those who led the building of socialism in Ukraine.
