Celebrate the People’s Victory Against Nazism, and Wage the Fight Against Modern Fascism!
On May 8 (May 9 in the USSR’s timezones), 1945, after six years of a worldwide conflict—actually, that conflict may stretch back even further, depending on how you interpret the situation in the world at the time—Nazi Germany’s army finally surrendered to the Allied Powers, officially ending World War Two in Europe and signifying the…

Uphold Comrade Karl Marx!
On May 5th, 1818, the first classic of revolutionary communism, Karl Marx, was born. Marx made astounding contributions by practically founding the proletariat’s revolutionary science, which is scientific socialism. He did this by, first of all, applying a proper philosophical worldview to analyze material conditions; thus, he created dialectical materialism, which combines dialectics—”the science of…

Happy Birthday to Vladimir Lenin!
Recently passed Lenin’s 153rd birthday. We celebrate Lenin as a very important theorist and practitioner of Marxism in his time; like we said before, his theory transformed Marxism into Marxism-Leninism, and his practice created the first workers’ state, caused fear and terror for the world’s ruling classes, and inspired tens of millions of workers and…

The opportunist rat that shot him, Fanny Kaplan, did so because she wanted “multi-party” socialism; this would have weakened the proletarian leadership of…

In Defense of Socialism in One Country
Excerpts from our in-progress book Socialism in one country is a concept that Joseph Stalin contributed to Marxism-Leninism. Socialism can be constructed in one country, contrary to the idea that the revolution must be spread to the whole world before socialism is actually constructed and its relations of productions are established. While many Marxists believed…

Happy CENTENNIAL to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)!
It is extremely strange to go from remembering its passing to celebrating its founding in four days, but that’s alright. What’s really important is that on December 30th, 1922, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Russian SFSR), Transcaucasian SFSR, Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (Ukrainian SSR), and Byelorussian SSR joined together to form the Union of…

On the USSR’s Dissolution
Our view of the USSR’s dissolution is mixed. We see that the USSR by 1991 was not a socialist state, but a capitalist-imperialist superpower with terrible problems in its system. If the country remained socialist, it probably would be around today, but its capitalist restoration weakened its economy by causing shortages, stagnation, and corruption, so…
