To the General Secretary of the workers’ party of Korea
Chairman of the State Defence Committee of the DPRK
Supreme Commander in Chief of the Korean People’s Army
Great Leader
Comrade KIM JONG IL
Pyongyang, DPRK
Deeply Respected Comrade KIM JONG IL
In the name of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and from myself personally, I warmly congratulate YOU, the Great Son of the Nation, on the 17th Anniversary since the designation of YOU to the post of Supreme Commander in Chief of the Korean People’s Army.
Under YOUR leadership, the KPA has become even more mighty, and having equipped yourselves with a nuclear weapon – a threatening defence of the Dear Fatherland from the enemies abroad.
And let the great “five” which have for a long time possessed nuclear weapons express their disgruntlement, attempting on any pretext to force YOU into disarming. Compared to all of them, YOUR nuclear might from the outset was and is in reality only a means of defence from outside aggression. The DPRK has never intended and does not intend to attack other states on the strength of its own socialist essence, its humanism and desire to live in friendship with all states of the world regardless of their political direction. This concerns even the USA, which has brought so much trouble to the people of the DPRK and up till now violating human rights in relation to the DPRK, holding it in the grips of the most brutal embargo since the moment of the formation of this socialist state. Why does the USA so fervently demand the disarmament of the DPRK? In order to again wave the nuclear truncheon, demanding a change in the political system in the DPRK, chosen by the people of the DPRK themselves. The demands of the big “five states in relation to the nuclear question on Korean Peninsula”are made in violation if the UN Charter, where it specifically states that every sovereign state has the right to self defence and have the right to be equal to potential rivals. One cannot believe to be normal that 8 nuclear states have themselves obtained the absolute right to possess nuclear weapons, banning by this, other independent states from having them as a form of self-defence from imperialist predators. Therefore, we wish the DPRK further strengthening of its armed might, so that noone was under any illusion about going unpunished in relation to the country of morning calm.
We truly wish YOU, Deeply Respected Comrade KIM JONG IL to continue your policy of strengthening the country’s defence capability and mobility of the Armed Forces.
We have carefully studies the Letter of the CC WPK directed to the communist parties, with information about the achievement in the area of the economy in the past year and new problems arising in connection with the arrival to power in South Korea of a pro-American puppet. It is very sad to know that the peaceful process of unifying the nation, which has been making progress through talks, meetings and agreements has been put on hold. But the puppets of the USA, by not having the support of their own people, as a rule, will quickly exit from the political scene. Today, this is happening in Ukraine, and pro-American stooge Saakashvili’s power is swaying. Regimes of other American puppets which have been so much relying on US finances and military aid. I think that also Li Men Bak will hardly last the term at the post of president of South Korea. Now, when the DPRK is better able to defend itself than in previous years with the presence of its own nuclear weapon will have to endure this attack of US imperialism which is now in a state of agony, trying to drag the whole world into a chasm.
The truth of history is behind Socialism for such countries as the DPRK, and therefore You will definitely triumph. The invincible unity of the Leader, Army and People is monolithic which nothing is able to destroy. I sincerely wish speedy victory to the DPRK on all fronts of the Korean Revolution.
I wish YOU personally, Deeply Respected Comrade KOM JONG IL – the best of health and a high level of activity for many years to come. All of his – is a pledge for future victories in the DPRK.
I congratulate YOU, Great Leader on the 91st Birth date of the glorious female hero of the anti-Japanese struggle, passionate fighter and revolutionary Comrade KIM CHEN SUK. Her shining example is an example for the education of the young generation in the spirit of highest patriotism and selflessness in the name of bringing about the revolutionary ideas and freedom of their Motherland. With this famous date I congratulate in YOUR address, the heroic Korean people of the DPRK.
On 24 December, the Socialist Constitution of the DPRK was adopted, reinforcing the rights of citizens of the country. We congratulate the Korean citizens on this famous date. We need to more widely propagate this Fundamental Law of the DPRK in order to obscure the lies of the imperialist demagogues and political speculators concerning the alleged “human rights violations in the DPRK” – a vile fairytale, invented by American ideologues of war for justifying their own vile anti-human policy of seizing foreign territories and the desire to establish everywhere “the American world order”.
Long live the heroic Korean people – the builder of socialism in North-East Asia!
Long live the invincible Korean People’s Army!
Long live the Supreme Commander in Chief of the KPA
GREAT KIM JONG IL!

LENIN IS ALWAYS WITH US
On 21 January 1924, Vladimir Ilych Lenin dies – the recognized leader of the world proletariat, creator of the Bolshevik party and the world’s first workers’ and peasant’s state – Soviet Russia which while Lenin was still alive (30 december 1922 was the I All-Union Congress of Soviets) grew to the scale of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – a brotherly union of equal nations, nationalities and national minorities. Under Lenin, the building of a new socialist society began on the base of a new level of development of productive forces on the basis of electrification of the entire country.
The use of electricity for the implementation of the country’s industrialization and collectivization of agriculture transformed the UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS in an unseen before short historical period under the leadership of J.V. Stalin into the second world superpower which defeated fascism and put an end to the II World War. With this, peaceful existence of people of the world during a period of more than 50 years was provided.
The historic significance of V.I. Lenin has been so great and wide-scaled, that any epithet, who would have liked to use the characteristics of the intellect of this great giant, becomes tiny, and so unable to express even a part of the true contribution of V.I. Lenin in the development of civilization.
The works of V.I. Lenin according to the sheer number of publications and translations into many of the world’s languages occupies at second place in the world after the Bible. But indeed the Bible has a 2 thousand year old history, and V.I. Lenin – is almost of our present day.
Today, communists of the world in the conditions of the temporarily triumphed in the USSR counter-revolution, in the conditions of an expanding systemic crisis of imperialism are again and again turning to the works of the classics of Marxism-Leninism, analyzing the concrete situation of the modern world and trying to find that link, by words of V.I. Lenin, which can be stretched and help imperialism more quickly fall into a chasm and at the same time open up a way to the peoples of the world towards the building of a truly democratic society – a society of free people with equal rights. We need to know the works of V.I. Lenin in order to correctly utilize in our practical work, his huge, priceless intellectual ideological “baggage”. This is important also because “ideas become a force when they are embraced by the masses” (vol32 p332 Russian, article “Will the Bolsheviks keep hold of state power”)
Lenin teaches us communists HOW, by using the methodology of Marxism-Leninism, we need to analyze events that take place, HOW to draw the right conclusions from them, and HOW to use these conclusions in the practice of our struggle.
Let us take for example, just one question to which today there is so much speculation, distorted explanation and fooling of the masses with a pseudo-scientific interpretation of the conception. I mean with this, the question of democracy and human rights.
America, threatening all peace loving peoples with a nuclear truncheon, enviously defends its own and its own comrades-in-struggle in battle, the gained exclusively for themselves right to have nuclear weapons not for the sake of self-defence – for indeed nobody is getting ready to attack neither the US or its allies – satellites, sharks of imperialist business. The US is waving the nuclear truncheon over the world for terrifying all those who are brave enough to have their own opinion, yes and to have a specially important geo-strategic position, or to own large reserves of fossil raw materials or precious minerals. That is the way it is with Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and the entire Middle East where without punishment under the patronage of the USA, with savageness behaves Israel – the US puppet, in relation to the Arab people. And in order to hide the savage bared teeth of the fascist policy of the US, they wave a false flag of humanism, allegedly concerned about “human rights” and “democracy” the essence of such a policy is the same as the fable by I.A. Krylov “the wolf and the lamb” – “You are to blame for wanting to eat me!”
The policy of American world globalization everywhere leads to the destruction of the statehood of countries taking a fancy to the US, to rivers of blood and tears of peaceful citizens, to the destruction of national cultures together with the peoples.
The fooling and stupefying of the masses masterly and professionally is being carried out by the lying bourgeoisie mass media – the loyal stooges of imperialism, excitedly boasting about this same bloody American “democracy” and “human rights”
What is in actual fact bourgeois democracy in the epoch of imperialism?
Lenin writes in his work “Proletarian revolution and renegade Kautsky”(Vol 37, p,251 Russian) that if one does not mock healthy reasoning and history, then it is clear thatone cannot talk of “pure democracy”, while different classes exist, but can only talk of class democracy. (In brackets saying, “pure democracy” is not only an ignorant phrase revealing a lack of understanding in the struggle of classes as well as the essence of the state, but also is a triply empty phrase, for in communist society, democracy degenerating and transforming into a habit, will die off, but will never be “pure democracy”)
“Pure democracy” is the false phrase of a liberal who is fooling the workers. History knows bourgeois democracy which replaces feudalism, and proletarian democracy which replaces bourgeois democracy”.
“Bourgeois democracy, at one time a great historic progress compared to the Middle Ages will always remain – and under capitalism cannot but remain – a narrow, cut off and false, hypocritical paradise for the rich, a trap and a deceit for those who are exploited, for the poor”. (p252).
In his work “The State and Revolution” v 33, p 99- 100) Lenin writes about “Democracy had huge significance in the struggle of the working class against the capitalists, for its liberation. But democracy is by now means the limit, but only one of stage along the road from feudalism towards capitalism and from capitalism to communism.
Democracy means equality. It is clear what great significance the struggle of the proletariat really is for equality and the slogan of equality, if to correctly understand it in the sense of the destruction of classes. But democracy means only formal equality. And following the implementation of equality of all members in relation to ownership over the means of production, that is to say, equality of labour, equal wages, and before humanity inevitably the question arises about the fact in order to advance further from formal equality to true equality…
The stages, the route of such practical measure that humanity will follow to get to this highest stage we do not know and neither can we. But it is important to explain how endlessy false the ordinary bourgeois idea is, as if socialism is something dead, frozen, once and for always, then in actual fact only with socialism begins the fast, true and actual mass participation of the majority of the population, and after that, the entire population, advancing forward in all areas of social and personal life”.
The life and activity of the Soviet people during the period of Soviet power completely confirmed the correctness of these Leninist words, when in a very short time we transformed a virtually illiterate country into a country with a highly developed culture, science, and a from a backward peasant country – into a highly developed industrial power, the first to launch an artificial satellite and Man into space, having placed nuclear power to the service of peaceful labour.
We, living at the start of the XXI century, were born, grew up, studies and worked under Soviet power. And therefore we know well the value of what Soviet power gave to the ordinary people, and WHAT socialist democracy means and what counter-revolution stole from us.
We also know well that today there is only one standing or more accurately, worthy means of existence – the struggle for Leninism – modern Bolshevism, the constant work in the propaganda of the ideas of Marxism-Leninism, in the mastering of Bolshevism by the masses in the name of the quickest approach of the inevitably impending and historically predetermined socialist revolution.
This is the sole thing for the sake of which is worth living and fighting for, in order to revive that what has been so talentless handed over to our class enemy

DIALECTICAL MATERIALIM AND MATERIALIST DIALECTIC – THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF THE SCIENCES ON HUMAN SOCIETY, NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY
“In this philosophy of Marxism, moulded out of a single piece of steel, one must not take out neither one fundamental reference or one substantial part, and not depart from objective reality, or fall into the embrace of the bourgeois-reactionary lie”.
V.I. LENIN
The outstanding work of V.I. Lenin “Materialism and Empirocriticism” was written in a period of decline, decadency and break-up of feudal-bourgeois society in Tsarist Russia (February-October 1908).
New discoveries in science, in particular in physics which could be explained from the point of view of classic science of that period, built a number of scientists on an idealist platform.
The onslaught of reaction after the defeat of the first Russian revolution, led to the fact that in social-democratic circles of Russia, a number of comrades including Bolsheviks, slipped over onto positions of conciliation with religion and over to the positions of “god-searching”.
It was necessary to give a rebuff to these idealist tendencies, to placing everything onto its feet, onto true materialist soil, which was done by Lenin in his remarkable work.
The present situation in the period of the victory of counter-revolution and triumph of reaction, the period of the temporary defeat of socialism to a certain degree is similar to that 100 year old past, when this work was written by Lenin.
And in the present time, idealism and fideism has penetrated the communist and leftist movement, the flirting with the priesthood right up to an including the joint carrying out of various actions with religious organisations.
Lenin’s work with all its sharpness is directed against imperialism and fideism and is deeply materialistic. In his work, Lenin noted that the great service of Marx, “advancing far ahead along a sharply defined philosophical path” in actual fact consists “in this reluctance to consider bastardized projects of conciliation of materialism and idealism”. “Marx and Engels, Lenin notes further on – from the start and until the end were party members in philosophy, knew how to launch an offensive from the position of materialism against the pampering of idealism and fideism in all and every kind of “latest tendencies”.
It should be noted that Lenin, following Marx and Engels, examines materialism not metaphysically, but dialectically, that is to say, examines matter (the material world) in its continuous movement and development, revealing the internal source of this development – the struggle of opposites. Characterizing Marxism, Lenin notes: “In this philosophy of Marxism, moulded out of a single piece of steel, one must not take out neither one fundamental reference or one substantial part, and not depart from objective reality, or fall into the embrace of the bourgeois-reactionary lie”.
At the present time in the communist movement prevails a retreat from the most important, fundamental principles of Marxism-Leninism, that is, the permitting of private ownership, priority of parliamentary forms and methods of struggle over revolutionary ones, right up to the rejection of the path towards socialist revolution and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat, that is to say, opportunism, revisionism and anti-Stalinism as the most dangerous form of modern-day revisionism.
Only getting back onto the track of revolutionary Marxism-Leninism, the theoretical basis, scientific footing of which is dialectical and historical materialism will help the modern-day working class, working masses of the ex-USSR, as well as on a world-wide scale, will achieve victory over imperialism and the most evil and most crafty enemy of all of humanity – US-NATO imperialism.
***
The developing world financial crisis is just another crisis of imperialism, and has yet again confirmed the correctness of the classics of Marxism-Leninism about the cyclical character of the development of capitalism at its highest imperialist stage. Every 10 – 11 years, a new crisis occurs in imperialist production, taking hold in its globalist phase, the entire capitalist world and deeper and deeper striking and shaking the very basis of capitalism. Imperialism is ever more getting tangled in its own contradictions and searches for a way out only in the unleashing of more wars, directed at the enslavement of peoples and countries, for the seizing of new sources of raw materials, markets of cheap labour power, in order to extend its existence for a certain period.
The main aim of capitalism, its stimulus, its motive and driving force is in the gaining of maximum profit. J.V. Stalin in his outstanding work “Economic problems of socialism in the USSR” thus outlines the main characteristics and demands of the fundamental economic law of modern capitalism (that is to say, imperialism): “the gaining of maximum capitalist profit by way of exploitation, breakup and impoverishment of the majority of the population of a given country by way of enslaving and systematically pillaging the peoples of other countries, especially the backward countries, and finally by way of wars and the militarization of the economies used for gaining the biggest profits.”
But modern imperialism has already practically exhausted all internal reserves for its development. The unswerving and ambitious development of productive forces which imperialism itself is in need of due to stiff competition, is compelled to develop (with all its negative characteristics, inherent to imperialism, that is, by monopoly, control, by the closure up for a certain period of time of these or those scientific-technological achievements as a result of all this competition), and namely – in introduction of automation, robotization, computerization of production and new information technologies etc, has led to man being more and more squeezed out of the direct production process. But indeed, profit (as a transformed form of surplus value) is obtained only on the backs of exploitation of man by man. With the removal of man from the production process, the profit margin falls. The law of the tendency for the profit margin to drop was established by Marx in “Capital” (Vol. 3, part 3). With the squeezing of man out of the production process, surplus value and, correspondingly, the profit will aim towards zero. Capitalism lose all motivation to its own further development.
That is to say, modern-day and quickly developing production forces have placed a limit on the further development of capitalism and its imperialist stage; this is on the one hand; and on the other hand, they have created all the material prerequisites of a communist means of production.
And if Lenin at the beginning of the 20th century spoke imperialism being the eve of a social revolution of the proletariat, that between imperialism and socialism there are no intermediate stages, then imperialism at the start of the 21st century has created all the material prerequisites for a direct transition towards communist means of production (obviously, a certain period from capitalism to communism on the scale of the entire human civilization remains all the same, considering the backwardness and economic underdevelopment of a number of countries (with the inherent to this period extremely acute class struggle between the bourgeoisie who are departing from the historical arena and the proletariat and its allies who are taking its place).
***
The building of a classless communist society is the historical mission of the proletariat.
The proletariat is the only class in history which does not aim towards infinite power (the dictatorship of the proletariat), but uses it for the liquidation of commodity production and commodity-monetary relations and, on the basis of this, for the liquidation of classes and the destruction of itself as a class.
Marxism-Leninism is the ideological-theoretical basis of this historic mission of the proletariat.
But with the dissolution of the working class itself in a classless communist society, Marxism-Leninism disappears, since its material carrier – the working class will not exist.
What then will be the theoretical basis of the impending classless communist society from which, according to Marx true history of mankind, human civilization starts?
The answer to this question was given by Stalin in his brilliant work “On dialectical and historical materialism”, in the preface to this work, written in the “Short course on the history of the CPSU (Bolshevik)”:
“Dialectical and historical materialism form the theoretical fundament of communism, the theoretic basis of a Marxist party”. (“History of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks”) (1945).
Thus, dialectical and historical materialism, the core, the “soul of Marxism” will be the theoretical fundament of a communist social-economic formation.
Engels in “Anti-Dǘring” emphasizes: “Once society takes ownership of the means of production, then commodity production will removed and together with that the denomination of the product over the producers. Anarchy within social production will be replaced by planned and conscious organisation. The struggle for separate existence will cease. With this, man, in the known sense will finally will be separated from the animal kingdom and from savage conditions of existence cross over to truly humane conditions. The conditions of life surrounding people and up till now dominating them, now fall under the power and control of people who for the first time become true and conscious masters of nature, because they become the masters of their own merging into society. The laws of their own social actions in opposition to people, up until now alien, the laws of nature ruling over them, will be used by people with full knowledge of the cause and with that, will be subordinated to their rule. Then the unification of people in a society which opposed the up until now as unleashed by higher nature and history, now becomes their own free affair. The objective, alien forces that had ruled up until now over history, come under the control of the people themselves. And only from this moment will people themselves begin to fully and consciously create their own history, only then, the social causes brought into action by them will have in a overwhelming and ever growing measure those consequences they desire. This is that leap by humanity from the kingdom of necessity into the kingdom of freedom.
To complete this liberating world campaign – such is the historic mission of the modern-day proletariat” (Engels).
Man, by large account differs from animals by two principle qualities. Man has reason and feelings, which not one animal has. Conscience is the alloy of these two qualities.
And the relationship between people in communist formation will also be built on the basis of reason, feelings and conscience (morals). In relations between people, the middle man – money will disappear – which deform these relations, giving them degenerate, hypocritical, false and malicious forms.
***
To end this short speech, I would like to say by the words of Lenin from the works examined by us today: “The only conclusion from the opinion shared by Marxists, is that the theory of Marx is the objective reality and consists in the following: going along the path of Marxist theory, we will get ever more closer to objective reality (never ever exhausting it); going along any other path we cannot get anywhere other than confusion and lies”.
We Bolsheviks count on the fact that the given scientific-practical conference dedicated to the main philosophic work of V.I. Lenin “Materialism and empiro- criticism”, makes its own contribution to the ridding of opportunism, idealism and fideism from the communist movement, in its transition over onto the revolutionary path of struggle, the struggle for the final liberation of labour from the yoke of capital.

WE SHALL DESTROY IMPERIALISM – THE LAST EXPLOITER SYSTEM ON EARTH!
“Imperialism is the eve of a social revolution of the proletariat” V.I. LENIN
91 years ago – on November 7 (25 October old style calandar) in 1917 the Great October Socialist Revolution was carried out. The working class of Russia under the leadership of V.I. Lenin overthrew the power of the bourgeoisie and the landowners, and established their own workers’ peasants’ Soviet power. On 30 December 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formed – a voluntary alliance of independent brotherly peoples and states.
Under the leadership of the party of Lenin-Stalin, the people built socialism, defeated fascism and liberated Europe from fascist slavery; it was the first country in the world to launch an artificial satellite and Man into space; it built the first nuclear power station and nuclear ice-breaker “Lenin”, and steadily moved along the path of scientific-technological and social progress. The prosperity of Soviet citizens steadily grew, cultural and education levels were raised. Friendship and brotherhood of the peoples of the USSR, mutual help and assistance, the certainty in the morrow and social optimism were the most important moral-ethic qualities of socialism.
The arrival to power after the death of J.V. Stalin of petty the petty-bourgeois neo-Trotskyite clique of N.S. Khrushchev, the unleashed, starting from the XX Congress of the CPSU anti-Stalin campaign, laid the basis for the restoration of capitalism in our country. Gradually in the CC CPSU ripened the headquarters of counter-revolution which was brought about by the traitors-Gorbachevists under the guise of perestroika.
For already 17 years and the across the expanse of the ex-USSR, counter-revolution has been ruling. The working people of our country under the guise of de-nationalisation and privatization have been robbed of their common property: factories, manufacturing plants, mine shafts: the high productive collective agriculture system has been destroyed; education, health care, science and culture are eking out a meagre existence.
The revived bourgeoisie have become immeasurably wealthy. Its top layer has transformed into oligarchs, in possession of multi-billion US dollar wealth. The working people – the creators of all the material wealth, have been robbed and are doomed to extinction and poverty. Every year in Russia, the population is falling at a rate of 1 million people a year, and in Ukraine – by half a million. A decrease in the size of the population is happening in all the remaining republics of the ex-USSR. Unemployment and poverty, drug addiction and drunkenness, alcoholism and prostitution, epidemics of tuberculosis and AIDS have become the lot for millions of people.
During the years of so-called “independence”, Ukraine has practically been transformed into a US colony. Its present-day Orange leadership headed by V. Yushenko is faithfully serving US imperialism, leading the struggle for world domination and possession of huge miner-raw material resources of Russia. In Ukraine, nationalism had emerged, the fascist Banderites and OUN-UPA fighters are glorified – these gangsters, loyal servants of Adolf Hitler and butchers of Ukrainian, Polish, Jewish, Russian, Gypsy, Slovakian and other peoples. Carrying out the order of their overseas masters, Yushenko is aiming to drag Ukraine into NATO and pit the Ukrainian people against their brotherly Russian people and provoke them into a brother-killing conflict. And the start of this had already begun in the August 5 day War in 2008, unleashed by Georgia under M. Saakashvili (the same puppet of US capital as Yushenko) against the South Ossetian people. With the blessing of Yushenko, Ukraine supplied Georgia with weapons worth millions of US dollars which were used in the war against the Russian army, with the participation of Ukrainian military servicemen.
The unfolding world financial crisis speaks of an impending collapse of the system of imperialism. Attempting to delay its own death, the governments of leading imperialist countries are handing out multibillion dollar credits to rescue their own main banking and financial structures and institutions.
The government of Ukraine is hoping to receive IMF loans amounting to more than 16 billion dollars. And this is presented as concern for the welfare of the people and country. In reality, the ruling regime, despite the acute differences between the president and prime minister, it is trying to provide support to the major finance-industrial groups of Ukraine. And it is trying to do this on the backs of the working people, since us, the working people are the ones who are going to have to pay off the debt.
Which is why Yushenko and Timoshenko talk about the need to close down all social programmes in 2009, which will deliver another blow to the people’s living standards.
The financial crisis will deliver a blow to the real sector of the economy.
Unable to endure the competition with steel industries of China and Russia, steel plant in Ukraine are folding up, which had previously given 20% of GDP and 40% of currency input to the budget. The construction industry has frozen. Hundreds and thousands of newly unemployed people are being thrown onto the streets. In conditions of a worn out housing-communal sector, the residents are threatened with a cold winter.
The working people of Ukraine are up against the threatening reality of survival in conditions of an imperialist crisis.
The only way out of the current catastrophic situation, like 91 years ago, - is to rise up to the revolutionary struggle for your rights, for the revival of Soviet power, socialism, the rebirth of out great Soviet Motherland.
DOWN WITH the ruling regime of Yushenko-Timoshenko-Yatsenyuk!
DOWN WITH the power of capital!
NO to the spreading of Banderovsim and neo-fascism in Ukraine!
NO – to dragging Ukraine into NATO!
WE SHALL RESTORE friendship and brotherly cooperation of the Russian-Ukrainian-Belorussian peoples!
WE SHALL REVIVE our great Motherland – THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS!
WE SHALL CARRY OUT the revolutionary cause of the Great October – we shall destroy imperialism – the last stage in the exploitative system on Earth, we shall put an end to oppression and exploitation of Man by Man!

THE LENINIST-STALINIST ROUTE – TOWARDS VICTORY!
On 21 December 1879, Joseph Vissarionovich STALIN was born – leader of the Soviet people and working people of the whole world, outstanding statesman, political activist, successor and continuer of the cause of great V.I. Lenin.
With the name of J.V. Stalin is connected all our victories and achievements: the building of the world’s first workers’ and peasants’ state – the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; the victory of socialism that was legally set in the Stalin Constitution of the USSR (5 December 1936); the defeat of fascism and liberation of the peoples of Europe from fascist slavery; the restoration of the people’s economy in the post-war years and the creation of the material prerequisites for the gradual transition over to the construction of communism.
With the name Stalin is connected and all the achievements of Ukraine. Namely in the Stalin years, the merging of all iconic Ukrainian lands in a single state took place – the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Soviet power in Ukraine was established on 25 December 1917, straight after the victory of the Great October Socialist Revolution. And already by 1940, Ukraine in the makeup of the USSR had been transformed into one of the most highly developed countries of Europe, and was comparable to France in economic potential.
What “independent and sovereign” Ukraine has to offer now, we can all see. In terms of GDP were capita, Ukraine occupies third place among the poorest countries of Europe (worse off countries are Albania and Moldavia). Millions of unemployed, hundreds of thousands of homeless. Destroyed families, children thrown to arbitrariness of fate. The continuous price increases on vital foodstuffs, medicines, transport and housing-communal services. An AIDS epidemic and tuberculosis…..
The catastrophic situation in the housing-communal sphere which according to the media, is worn out by more than 60%. It is namely because of the number of accidents in this sphere, (i.e. gas explosions in housing resulting in deaths) has grown in the last 10 years by 5(!) times. Public transport has been left to ruin. 90% of all trolleybuses and trams have worked well past their useful operational time.
Interesting in connection with this, are the words spoken by the leader of the Libyan revolution, Colonel Gadaffi at the beginning of November 08 who was on a visit to Ukraine: “Agricultural life in Ukraine is similar to that of in Africa”. (6.11.08. “Ukrainian Novosti”). What is true, must be true. Under Stalin, Ukraine was one of the most highly developed countries in the world in economic potential, which at that time provided one of the highest living standards and transformed Ukraine into a highly developed missile-space power. The result of 17 years of “independence” – a continuous decline of Ukraine from the heights of scientific-technological progress to the level of the most backward of African countries. This, according to Yushenko, is called the “devotion” to European-Atlantic values”
***
For “rescuing” the economy of Ukraine in the period of an ever deepening world financial crisis, the government of Timoshenko received from the IMF credit amounting to 16.5 billion US dollars for Ukraine.
In actual fact this credit was designated of rescuing Western banks which had invested their money in Ukraine. A large proportion of the credit will not get to Ukraine, but will go directly to the Western banking structures (which is why the IMF recommended such a measure). At the same time, this credit will have to be paid off by the Ukrainian taxpayer, that is, by you and I. In essence on the backs of Ukraine, its people, the Western economy is being rescued, the US economy – the main guilt party of the present crisis. (One should note that the US and the West are trying to put an end to the crisis on the backs of the weakest countries. In particular, the same IMF credits have been given to Hungary, Iceland as well as Ukraine, which are on the edge of default, that is, a financial collapse, brought about by the impossibility of making loans repayments; a default = not fulfilling repayment obligations, a cessation of payments).
At the same time, although a large amount of the credit will simply bypass Ukraine, the IMF handing out this credit has placed a whole number of demands on the National Bank of Ukraine. In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers has been instructed not raise the minimum wage to the level of the minimum needed to live; neither is there going to be a re-look at the conditions of indexation of welfare payouts or a raise wages of government employees in December 2008 –January 2009. Also the IMF is demanding for the next two years (2009 – 2011) that gas prices for domestic use, and which the population needs to be levelled the same as the price of imported gas, which will mean a growth in the price of gas for the population up to the level of world prices. Besides that, in the near future, the Cabinet of Ministers has to prepare a list of companies for privatization in 2009, as well as a market for the sale of land, the sale of agricultural land. And this means that Ukrainian peasants are being finally deprived of land which is being seized by local and foreign oligarchs and, with this, the process of transforming the Ukrainian peasantry in hired hands on their (by then, not their own) land. In actual fact, the process is complete, by Ukraine having accepted the given IMF demands (in the face of the president, premier and their loyal parliament, having adopted on 31 October the anti-crisis program put forward by the president, in the next 3 years has completely deprived the country of its economic and financial sovereignty, since all the decision in the financial-economic sphere will be taken only after the agreement of the IMF.
In the betraying of Ukraine’s national interests along with the interests of its working people, Yushenko’s and Timoshenko’s “patriotism” is included. In order to disguise their traitorous essence, Ukraine’s president has again, like a year ago, ignited a campaign on the 75th anniversary of the ‘golodomor’ (state initiated famine) in 1932-33.
***
The capitalists of Ukraine as well as the major imperialist countries are aiming to get the working people to take on the burden of the crisis themselves. The conditions of the working people of Ukraine are worsening by the day.
The only way out of the present situation – lies not in parliamentary chatter and elections, but a transfer of the working people of Ukraine over to the Leninist-Stalinist route of revolutionary struggle and destruction of the power of capital.

ABOUT EVENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
American-Israeli Zionism once again ignited the fire of war in the Middle East, having begun military action by the Israeli Armed Forces from the sea and on land against the people of Palestine, having again occupied the Gaza Strip. Despite UN demands for a halt to the violence and killing of the peaceful population of Palestine, the Israelis threatened to “put an end to it” – the destroy the Palestinians who are under an Israeli blockade in the Gaza Strip. The world progressive community demanded an immediate end of Israel’s military operations. A working group of international meetings of communist and workers’ parties of the majority of countries of the world made a Statement on 30 December, condemning the actions of the Israeli war machine in support of the just struggle of the Palestinian people for the creation of an independent Palestinian state in the framework of the borders of 1967. Under this Statement, stand many signatures of the leaders of communist and workers’ parties. The AUCPB added its voice in support of the demands for a halt in the massacre of peaceful Palestinians by the Israeli war machine, having place its signature under the Statement.
In Beirut, Lebanon, on the 16 -18 of January an International Forum took place under the heading “For resistance, anti-imperialism, solidarity between peoples, and the alternatives”, in which the majority of leaders from communist and workers’ parties, national-liberation movements of the Middle East and other regions took part. General Secretary of the CC AUCPB comrade N.A. Andreeva sent a letter of support to the Presidium of this Forum, which we cite below..
To the organizers and participators of the Forum in Beirut 16-18 January 2009
Dear Comrades!
The all-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks greets the organizers and participants of the Forum “For Resistance, Anti-Imperialism, Solidarity between Peoples, And the Alternatives” and wishes them true success in the work of the forum.
We fully support the just struggle of the Arab people of the Middle East for their statehood and independence, for their historical choice of development of the country, for peaceful co-existence in this explosive region of the world.
We recognize well that regardless of the various Resolutions that have been adopted by the UN, there can be no peace in this region whilst the Israeli Nazis are committing outrages here, carrying out the policy of world Zionism, whilst ALL Arab states and all patriotic forces of the Middle East do no unify in a joint struggle against the common enemy – American-Israeli Zionism.
We fully support the heroic struggle of all Palestinian patriots for their country’s independence and we heartedly support the principled position and revolutionary struggle of the patriots of the Islamic resistance movement “HAMAS”.
We understand that the struggle is being waged unfairly. The human loss on the two sides on 11 January 09 – 854 peaceful Palestinians killed and only 13 Israeli military servicemen – this bears witness to the weak organizational ability and extremely weakly equipped weapons of the “HAMAS” patriots compared to the regular army of Israel, freely obtaining from the USA unlimited numbers of the latest weapons systems and huge financial aid from the US at the same time.
The situation bears witness to the fact that in the Middle East a deliberate destruction of the peaceful Palestinian people is underway in bringing about the plans of Israel – USA, the plans of WORLD ZIONISM for the complete take over of Palestine. Lately, Israeli troops have been using phosphorus bombs banned by the UN. Israel has stated its intention to strengthen military pressure on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip (the third stage in the “molten lead” operation), despite the deepening humanitarian crisis there.
We wish the much suffering Palestinian people the quickest success in driving out the Israeli occupiers from the Gaza Strip, the return of Palestinians to their iconic Motherland, the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state in the framework of the 1967 borders with the capital – East Jerusalem.
Without an unification of efforts of all the Arab world in the struggle against world Zionism, the fire of war in the Middle East will be constantly burn, at times, getting less and then flaring up again.
We – the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (AUCPB) call on all Arab states of the Middle East to unite politically and practically in relation to American- Israeli Zionism, call on all patriotic forces, national-liberation movements, communist and workers’ parties and progressive social-political organisations to unity of actions in support of the just patriotic struggle of all the progressive forces of Palestine, in the support of the patriotic organisation – the Islamic resistance movement “HAMAS”.

To the General Secretary of the workers’ party of Korea
Chairman of the State Defence Committee of the DPRK
Supreme Commander in Chief of the Korean People’s Army
Great Leader
Comrade KIM JONG IL
Pyongyang, DPRK
Deeply Respected Comrade KIM JONG IL
In the name of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and from myself personally, I warmly congratulate YOU, the Great Son of the Nation, on the 17th Anniversary since the designation of YOU to the post of Supreme Commander in Chief of the Korean People’s Army.
Under YOUR leadership, the KPA has become even more mighty, and having equipped yourselves with a nuclear weapon – a threatening defence of the Dear Fatherland from the enemies abroad.
And let the great “five” which have for a long time possessed nuclear weapons express their disgruntlement, attempting on any pretext to force YOU into disarming. Compared to all of them, YOUR nuclear might from the outset was and is in reality only a means of defence from outside aggression. The DPRK has never intended and does not intend to attack other states on the strength of its own socialist essence, its humanism and desire to live in friendship with all states of the world regardless of their political direction. This concerns even the USA, which has brought so much trouble to the people of the DPRK and up till now violating human rights in relation to the DPRK, holding it in the grips of the most brutal embargo since the moment of the formation of this socialist state. Why does the USA so fervently demand the disarmament of the DPRK? In order to again wave the nuclear truncheon, demanding a change in the political system in the DPRK, chosen by the people of the DPRK themselves. The demands of the big “five states in relation to the nuclear question on Korean Peninsula”are made in violation if the UN Charter, where it specifically states that every sovereign state has the right to self defence and have the right to be equal to potential rivals. One cannot believe to be normal that 8 nuclear states have themselves obtained the absolute right to possess nuclear weapons, banning by this, other independent states from having them as a form of self-defence from imperialist predators. Therefore, we wish the DPRK further strengthening of its armed might, so that noone was under any illusion about going unpunished in relation to the country of morning calm.
We truly wish YOU, Deeply Respected Comrade KIM JONG IL to continue your policy of strengthening the country’s defence capability and mobility of the Armed Forces.
We have carefully studies the Letter of the CC WPK directed to the communist parties, with information about the achievement in the area of the economy in the past year and new problems arising in connection with the arrival to power in South Korea of a pro-American puppet. It is very sad to know that the peaceful process of unifying the nation, which has been making progress through talks, meetings and agreements has been put on hold. But the puppets of the USA, by not having the support of their own people, as a rule, will quickly exit from the political scene. Today, this is happening in Ukraine, and pro-American stooge Saakashvili’s power is swaying. Regimes of other American puppets which have been so much relying on US finances and military aid. I think that also Li Men Bak will hardly last the term at the post of president of South Korea. Now, when the DPRK is better able to defend itself than in previous years with the presence of its own nuclear weapon will have to endure this attack of US imperialism which is now in a state of agony, trying to drag the whole world into a chasm.
The truth of history is behind Socialism for such countries as the DPRK, and therefore You will definitely triumph. The invincible unity of the Leader, Army and People is monolithic which nothing is able to destroy. I sincerely wish speedy victory to the DPRK on all fronts of the Korean Revolution.
I wish YOU personally, Deeply Respected Comrade KOM JONG IL – the best of health and a high level of activity for many years to come. All of his – is a pledge for future victories in the DPRK.
I congratulate YOU, Great Leader on the 91st Birth date of the glorious female hero of the anti-Japanese struggle, passionate fighter and revolutionary Comrade KIM CHEN SUK. Her shining example is an example for the education of the young generation in the spirit of highest patriotism and selflessness in the name of bringing about the revolutionary ideas and freedom of their Motherland. With this famous date I congratulate in YOUR address, the heroic Korean people of the DPRK.
On 24 December, the Socialist Constitution of the DPRK was adopted, reinforcing the rights of citizens of the country. We congratulate the Korean citizens on this famous date. We need to more widely propagate this Fundamental Law of the DPRK in order to obscure the lies of the imperialist demagogues and political speculators concerning the alleged “human rights violations in the DPRK” – a vile fairytale, invented by American ideologues of war for justifying their own vile anti-human policy of seizing foreign territories and the desire to establish everywhere “the American world order”.
Long live the heroic Korean people – the builder of socialism in North-East Asia!
Long live the invincible Korean People’s Army!
Long live the Supreme Commander in Chief of the KPA
GREAT KIM JONG IL!

LENIN IS ALWAYS WITH US
On 21 January 1924, Vladimir Ilych Lenin dies – the recognized leader of the world proletariat, creator of the Bolshevik party and the world’s first workers’ and peasant’s state – Soviet Russia which while Lenin was still alive (30 december 1922 was the I All-Union Congress of Soviets) grew to the scale of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics – a brotherly union of equal nations, nationalities and national minorities. Under Lenin, the building of a new socialist society began on the base of a new level of development of productive forces on the basis of electrification of the entire country.
The use of electricity for the implementation of the country’s industrialization and collectivization of agriculture transformed the UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS in an unseen before short historical period under the leadership of J.V. Stalin into the second world superpower which defeated fascism and put an end to the II World War. With this, peaceful existence of people of the world during a period of more than 50 years was provided.
The historic significance of V.I. Lenin has been so great and wide-scaled, that any epithet, who would have liked to use the characteristics of the intellect of this great giant, becomes tiny, and so unable to express even a part of the true contribution of V.I. Lenin in the development of civilization.
The works of V.I. Lenin according to the sheer number of publications and translations into many of the world’s languages occupies at second place in the world after the Bible. But indeed the Bible has a 2 thousand year old history, and V.I. Lenin – is almost of our present day.
Today, communists of the world in the conditions of the temporarily triumphed in the USSR counter-revolution, in the conditions of an expanding systemic crisis of imperialism are again and again turning to the works of the classics of Marxism-Leninism, analyzing the concrete situation of the modern world and trying to find that link, by words of V.I. Lenin, which can be stretched and help imperialism more quickly fall into a chasm and at the same time open up a way to the peoples of the world towards the building of a truly democratic society – a society of free people with equal rights. We need to know the works of V.I. Lenin in order to correctly utilize in our practical work, his huge, priceless intellectual ideological “baggage”. This is important also because “ideas become a force when they are embraced by the masses” (vol32 p332 Russian, article “Will the Bolsheviks keep hold of state power”)
Lenin teaches us communists HOW, by using the methodology of Marxism-Leninism, we need to analyze events that take place, HOW to draw the right conclusions from them, and HOW to use these conclusions in the practice of our struggle.
Let us take for example, just one question to which today there is so much speculation, distorted explanation and fooling of the masses with a pseudo-scientific interpretation of the conception. I mean with this, the question of democracy and human rights.
America, threatening all peace loving peoples with a nuclear truncheon, enviously defends its own and its own comrades-in-struggle in battle, the gained exclusively for themselves right to have nuclear weapons not for the sake of self-defence – for indeed nobody is getting ready to attack neither the US or its allies – satellites, sharks of imperialist business. The US is waving the nuclear truncheon over the world for terrifying all those who are brave enough to have their own opinion, yes and to have a specially important geo-strategic position, or to own large reserves of fossil raw materials or precious minerals. That is the way it is with Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and the entire Middle East where without punishment under the patronage of the USA, with savageness behaves Israel – the US puppet, in relation to the Arab people. And in order to hide the savage bared teeth of the fascist policy of the US, they wave a false flag of humanism, allegedly concerned about “human rights” and “democracy” the essence of such a policy is the same as the fable by I.A. Krylov “the wolf and the lamb” – “You are to blame for wanting to eat me!”
The policy of American world globalization everywhere leads to the destruction of the statehood of countries taking a fancy to the US, to rivers of blood and tears of peaceful citizens, to the destruction of national cultures together with the peoples.
The fooling and stupefying of the masses masterly and professionally is being carried out by the lying bourgeoisie mass media – the loyal stooges of imperialism, excitedly boasting about this same bloody American “democracy” and “human rights”
What is in actual fact bourgeois democracy in the epoch of imperialism?
Lenin writes in his work “Proletarian revolution and renegade Kautsky”(Vol 37, p,251 Russian) that if one does not mock healthy reasoning and history, then it is clear thatone cannot talk of “pure democracy”, while different classes exist, but can only talk of class democracy. (In brackets saying, “pure democracy” is not only an ignorant phrase revealing a lack of understanding in the struggle of classes as well as the essence of the state, but also is a triply empty phrase, for in communist society, democracy degenerating and transforming into a habit, will die off, but will never be “pure democracy”)
“Pure democracy” is the false phrase of a liberal who is fooling the workers. History knows bourgeois democracy which replaces feudalism, and proletarian democracy which replaces bourgeois democracy”.
“Bourgeois democracy, at one time a great historic progress compared to the Middle Ages will always remain – and under capitalism cannot but remain – a narrow, cut off and false, hypocritical paradise for the rich, a trap and a deceit for those who are exploited, for the poor”. (p252).
In his work “The State and Revolution” v 33, p 99- 100) Lenin writes about “Democracy had huge significance in the struggle of the working class against the capitalists, for its liberation. But democracy is by now means the limit, but only one of stage along the road from feudalism towards capitalism and from capitalism to communism.
Democracy means equality. It is clear what great significance the struggle of the proletariat really is for equality and the slogan of equality, if to correctly understand it in the sense of the destruction of classes. But democracy means only formal equality. And following the implementation of equality of all members in relation to ownership over the means of production, that is to say, equality of labour, equal wages, and before humanity inevitably the question arises about the fact in order to advance further from formal equality to true equality…
The stages, the route of such practical measure that humanity will follow to get to this highest stage we do not know and neither can we. But it is important to explain how endlessy false the ordinary bourgeois idea is, as if socialism is something dead, frozen, once and for always, then in actual fact only with socialism begins the fast, true and actual mass participation of the majority of the population, and after that, the entire population, advancing forward in all areas of social and personal life”.
The life and activity of the Soviet people during the period of Soviet power completely confirmed the correctness of these Leninist words, when in a very short time we transformed a virtually illiterate country into a country with a highly developed culture, science, and a from a backward peasant country – into a highly developed industrial power, the first to launch an artificial satellite and Man into space, having placed nuclear power to the service of peaceful labour.
We, living at the start of the XXI century, were born, grew up, studies and worked under Soviet power. And therefore we know well the value of what Soviet power gave to the ordinary people, and WHAT socialist democracy means and what counter-revolution stole from us.
We also know well that today there is only one standing or more accurately, worthy means of existence – the struggle for Leninism – modern Bolshevism, the constant work in the propaganda of the ideas of Marxism-Leninism, in the mastering of Bolshevism by the masses in the name of the quickest approach of the inevitably impending and historically predetermined socialist revolution.
This is the sole thing for the sake of which is worth living and fighting for, in order to revive that what has been so talentless handed over to our class enemy

DIALECTICAL MATERIALIM AND MATERIALIST DIALECTIC – THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF THE SCIENCES ON HUMAN SOCIETY, NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY
“In this philosophy of Marxism, moulded out of a single piece of steel, one must not take out neither one fundamental reference or one substantial part, and not depart from objective reality, or fall into the embrace of the bourgeois-reactionary lie”.
V.I. LENIN
The outstanding work of V.I. Lenin “Materialism and Empirocriticism” was written in a period of decline, decadency and break-up of feudal-bourgeois society in Tsarist Russia (February-October 1908).
New discoveries in science, in particular in physics which could be explained from the point of view of classic science of that period, built a number of scientists on an idealist platform.
The onslaught of reaction after the defeat of the first Russian revolution, led to the fact that in social-democratic circles of Russia, a number of comrades including Bolsheviks, slipped over onto positions of conciliation with religion and over to the positions of “god-searching”.
It was necessary to give a rebuff to these idealist tendencies, to placing everything onto its feet, onto true materialist soil, which was done by Lenin in his remarkable work.
The present situation in the period of the victory of counter-revolution and triumph of reaction, the period of the temporary defeat of socialism to a certain degree is similar to that 100 year old past, when this work was written by Lenin.
And in the present time, idealism and fideism has penetrated the communist and leftist movement, the flirting with the priesthood right up to an including the joint carrying out of various actions with religious organisations.
Lenin’s work with all its sharpness is directed against imperialism and fideism and is deeply materialistic. In his work, Lenin noted that the great service of Marx, “advancing far ahead along a sharply defined philosophical path” in actual fact consists “in this reluctance to consider bastardized projects of conciliation of materialism and idealism”. “Marx and Engels, Lenin notes further on – from the start and until the end were party members in philosophy, knew how to launch an offensive from the position of materialism against the pampering of idealism and fideism in all and every kind of “latest tendencies”.
It should be noted that Lenin, following Marx and Engels, examines materialism not metaphysically, but dialectically, that is to say, examines matter (the material world) in its continuous movement and development, revealing the internal source of this development – the struggle of opposites. Characterizing Marxism, Lenin notes: “In this philosophy of Marxism, moulded out of a single piece of steel, one must not take out neither one fundamental reference or one substantial part, and not depart from objective reality, or fall into the embrace of the bourgeois-reactionary lie”.
At the present time in the communist movement prevails a retreat from the most important, fundamental principles of Marxism-Leninism, that is, the permitting of private ownership, priority of parliamentary forms and methods of struggle over revolutionary ones, right up to the rejection of the path towards socialist revolution and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat, that is to say, opportunism, revisionism and anti-Stalinism as the most dangerous form of modern-day revisionism.
Only getting back onto the track of revolutionary Marxism-Leninism, the theoretical basis, scientific footing of which is dialectical and historical materialism will help the modern-day working class, working masses of the ex-USSR, as well as on a world-wide scale, will achieve victory over imperialism and the most evil and most crafty enemy of all of humanity – US-NATO imperialism.
***
The developing world financial crisis is just another crisis of imperialism, and has yet again confirmed the correctness of the classics of Marxism-Leninism about the cyclical character of the development of capitalism at its highest imperialist stage. Every 10 – 11 years, a new crisis occurs in imperialist production, taking hold in its globalist phase, the entire capitalist world and deeper and deeper striking and shaking the very basis of capitalism. Imperialism is ever more getting tangled in its own contradictions and searches for a way out only in the unleashing of more wars, directed at the enslavement of peoples and countries, for the seizing of new sources of raw materials, markets of cheap labour power, in order to extend its existence for a certain period.
The main aim of capitalism, its stimulus, its motive and driving force is in the gaining of maximum profit. J.V. Stalin in his outstanding work “Economic problems of socialism in the USSR” thus outlines the main characteristics and demands of the fundamental economic law of modern capitalism (that is to say, imperialism): “the gaining of maximum capitalist profit by way of exploitation, breakup and impoverishment of the majority of the population of a given country by way of enslaving and systematically pillaging the peoples of other countries, especially the backward countries, and finally by way of wars and the militarization of the economies used for gaining the biggest profits.”
But modern imperialism has already practically exhausted all internal reserves for its development. The unswerving and ambitious development of productive forces which imperialism itself is in need of due to stiff competition, is compelled to develop (with all its negative characteristics, inherent to imperialism, that is, by monopoly, control, by the closure up for a certain period of time of these or those scientific-technological achievements as a result of all this competition), and namely – in introduction of automation, robotization, computerization of production and new information technologies etc, has led to man being more and more squeezed out of the direct production process. But indeed, profit (as a transformed form of surplus value) is obtained only on the backs of exploitation of man by man. With the removal of man from the production process, the profit margin falls. The law of the tendency for the profit margin to drop was established by Marx in “Capital” (Vol. 3, part 3). With the squeezing of man out of the production process, surplus value and, correspondingly, the profit will aim towards zero. Capitalism lose all motivation to its own further development.
That is to say, modern-day and quickly developing production forces have placed a limit on the further development of capitalism and its imperialist stage; this is on the one hand; and on the other hand, they have created all the material prerequisites of a communist means of production.
And if Lenin at the beginning of the 20th century spoke imperialism being the eve of a social revolution of the proletariat, that between imperialism and socialism there are no intermediate stages, then imperialism at the start of the 21st century has created all the material prerequisites for a direct transition towards communist means of production (obviously, a certain period from capitalism to communism on the scale of the entire human civilization remains all the same, considering the backwardness and economic underdevelopment of a number of countries (with the inherent to this period extremely acute class struggle between the bourgeoisie who are departing from the historical arena and the proletariat and its allies who are taking its place).
***
The building of a classless communist society is the historical mission of the proletariat.
The proletariat is the only class in history which does not aim towards infinite power (the dictatorship of the proletariat), but uses it for the liquidation of commodity production and commodity-monetary relations and, on the basis of this, for the liquidation of classes and the destruction of itself as a class.
Marxism-Leninism is the ideological-theoretical basis of this historic mission of the proletariat.
But with the dissolution of the working class itself in a classless communist society, Marxism-Leninism disappears, since its material carrier – the working class will not exist.
What then will be the theoretical basis of the impending classless communist society from which, according to Marx true history of mankind, human civilization starts?
The answer to this question was given by Stalin in his brilliant work “On dialectical and historical materialism”, in the preface to this work, written in the “Short course on the history of the CPSU (Bolshevik)”:
“Dialectical and historical materialism form the theoretical fundament of communism, the theoretic basis of a Marxist party”. (“History of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks”) (1945).
Thus, dialectical and historical materialism, the core, the “soul of Marxism” will be the theoretical fundament of a communist social-economic formation.
Engels in “Anti-Dǘring” emphasizes: “Once society takes ownership of the means of production, then commodity production will removed and together with that the denomination of the product over the producers. Anarchy within social production will be replaced by planned and conscious organisation. The struggle for separate existence will cease. With this, man, in the known sense will finally will be separated from the animal kingdom and from savage conditions of existence cross over to truly humane conditions. The conditions of life surrounding people and up till now dominating them, now fall under the power and control of people who for the first time become true and conscious masters of nature, because they become the masters of their own merging into society. The laws of their own social actions in opposition to people, up until now alien, the laws of nature ruling over them, will be used by people with full knowledge of the cause and with that, will be subordinated to their rule. Then the unification of people in a society which opposed the up until now as unleashed by higher nature and history, now becomes their own free affair. The objective, alien forces that had ruled up until now over history, come under the control of the people themselves. And only from this moment will people themselves begin to fully and consciously create their own history, only then, the social causes brought into action by them will have in a overwhelming and ever growing measure those consequences they desire. This is that leap by humanity from the kingdom of necessity into the kingdom of freedom.
To complete this liberating world campaign – such is the historic mission of the modern-day proletariat” (Engels).
Man, by large account differs from animals by two principle qualities. Man has reason and feelings, which not one animal has. Conscience is the alloy of these two qualities.
And the relationship between people in communist formation will also be built on the basis of reason, feelings and conscience (morals). In relations between people, the middle man – money will disappear – which deform these relations, giving them degenerate, hypocritical, false and malicious forms.
***
To end this short speech, I would like to say by the words of Lenin from the works examined by us today: “The only conclusion from the opinion shared by Marxists, is that the theory of Marx is the objective reality and consists in the following: going along the path of Marxist theory, we will get ever more closer to objective reality (never ever exhausting it); going along any other path we cannot get anywhere other than confusion and lies”.
We Bolsheviks count on the fact that the given scientific-practical conference dedicated to the main philosophic work of V.I. Lenin “Materialism and empiro- criticism”, makes its own contribution to the ridding of opportunism, idealism and fideism from the communist movement, in its transition over onto the revolutionary path of struggle, the struggle for the final liberation of labour from the yoke of capital.

WE SHALL DESTROY IMPERIALISM – THE LAST EXPLOITER SYSTEM ON EARTH!
“Imperialism is the eve of a social revolution of the proletariat” V.I. LENIN
91 years ago – on November 7 (25 October old style calandar) in 1917 the Great October Socialist Revolution was carried out. The working class of Russia under the leadership of V.I. Lenin overthrew the power of the bourgeoisie and the landowners, and established their own workers’ peasants’ Soviet power. On 30 December 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formed – a voluntary alliance of independent brotherly peoples and states.
Under the leadership of the party of Lenin-Stalin, the people built socialism, defeated fascism and liberated Europe from fascist slavery; it was the first country in the world to launch an artificial satellite and Man into space; it built the first nuclear power station and nuclear ice-breaker “Lenin”, and steadily moved along the path of scientific-technological and social progress. The prosperity of Soviet citizens steadily grew, cultural and education levels were raised. Friendship and brotherhood of the peoples of the USSR, mutual help and assistance, the certainty in the morrow and social optimism were the most important moral-ethic qualities of socialism.
The arrival to power after the death of J.V. Stalin of petty the petty-bourgeois neo-Trotskyite clique of N.S. Khrushchev, the unleashed, starting from the XX Congress of the CPSU anti-Stalin campaign, laid the basis for the restoration of capitalism in our country. Gradually in the CC CPSU ripened the headquarters of counter-revolution which was brought about by the traitors-Gorbachevists under the guise of perestroika.
For already 17 years and the across the expanse of the ex-USSR, counter-revolution has been ruling. The working people of our country under the guise of de-nationalisation and privatization have been robbed of their common property: factories, manufacturing plants, mine shafts: the high productive collective agriculture system has been destroyed; education, health care, science and culture are eking out a meagre existence.
The revived bourgeoisie have become immeasurably wealthy. Its top layer has transformed into oligarchs, in possession of multi-billion US dollar wealth. The working people – the creators of all the material wealth, have been robbed and are doomed to extinction and poverty. Every year in Russia, the population is falling at a rate of 1 million people a year, and in Ukraine – by half a million. A decrease in the size of the population is happening in all the remaining republics of the ex-USSR. Unemployment and poverty, drug addiction and drunkenness, alcoholism and prostitution, epidemics of tuberculosis and AIDS have become the lot for millions of people.
During the years of so-called “independence”, Ukraine has practically been transformed into a US colony. Its present-day Orange leadership headed by V. Yushenko is faithfully serving US imperialism, leading the struggle for world domination and possession of huge miner-raw material resources of Russia. In Ukraine, nationalism had emerged, the fascist Banderites and OUN-UPA fighters are glorified – these gangsters, loyal servants of Adolf Hitler and butchers of Ukrainian, Polish, Jewish, Russian, Gypsy, Slovakian and other peoples. Carrying out the order of their overseas masters, Yushenko is aiming to drag Ukraine into NATO and pit the Ukrainian people against their brotherly Russian people and provoke them into a brother-killing conflict. And the start of this had already begun in the August 5 day War in 2008, unleashed by Georgia under M. Saakashvili (the same puppet of US capital as Yushenko) against the South Ossetian people. With the blessing of Yushenko, Ukraine supplied Georgia with weapons worth millions of US dollars which were used in the war against the Russian army, with the participation of Ukrainian military servicemen.
The unfolding world financial crisis speaks of an impending collapse of the system of imperialism. Attempting to delay its own death, the governments of leading imperialist countries are handing out multibillion dollar credits to rescue their own main banking and financial structures and institutions.
The government of Ukraine is hoping to receive IMF loans amounting to more than 16 billion dollars. And this is presented as concern for the welfare of the people and country. In reality, the ruling regime, despite the acute differences between the president and prime minister, it is trying to provide support to the major finance-industrial groups of Ukraine. And it is trying to do this on the backs of the working people, since us, the working people are the ones who are going to have to pay off the debt.
Which is why Yushenko and Timoshenko talk about the need to close down all social programmes in 2009, which will deliver another blow to the people’s living standards.
The financial crisis will deliver a blow to the real sector of the economy.
Unable to endure the competition with steel industries of China and Russia, steel plant in Ukraine are folding up, which had previously given 20% of GDP and 40% of currency input to the budget. The construction industry has frozen. Hundreds and thousands of newly unemployed people are being thrown onto the streets. In conditions of a worn out housing-communal sector, the residents are threatened with a cold winter.
The working people of Ukraine are up against the threatening reality of survival in conditions of an imperialist crisis.
The only way out of the current catastrophic situation, like 91 years ago, - is to rise up to the revolutionary struggle for your rights, for the revival of Soviet power, socialism, the rebirth of out great Soviet Motherland.
DOWN WITH the ruling regime of Yushenko-Timoshenko-Yatsenyuk!
DOWN WITH the power of capital!
NO to the spreading of Banderovsim and neo-fascism in Ukraine!
NO – to dragging Ukraine into NATO!
WE SHALL RESTORE friendship and brotherly cooperation of the Russian-Ukrainian-Belorussian peoples!
WE SHALL REVIVE our great Motherland – THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS!
WE SHALL CARRY OUT the revolutionary cause of the Great October – we shall destroy imperialism – the last stage in the exploitative system on Earth, we shall put an end to oppression and exploitation of Man by Man!

THE LENINIST-STALINIST ROUTE – TOWARDS VICTORY!
On 21 December 1879, Joseph Vissarionovich STALIN was born – leader of the Soviet people and working people of the whole world, outstanding statesman, political activist, successor and continuer of the cause of great V.I. Lenin.
With the name of J.V. Stalin is connected all our victories and achievements: the building of the world’s first workers’ and peasants’ state – the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; the victory of socialism that was legally set in the Stalin Constitution of the USSR (5 December 1936); the defeat of fascism and liberation of the peoples of Europe from fascist slavery; the restoration of the people’s economy in the post-war years and the creation of the material prerequisites for the gradual transition over to the construction of communism.
With the name Stalin is connected and all the achievements of Ukraine. Namely in the Stalin years, the merging of all iconic Ukrainian lands in a single state took place – the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Soviet power in Ukraine was established on 25 December 1917, straight after the victory of the Great October Socialist Revolution. And already by 1940, Ukraine in the makeup of the USSR had been transformed into one of the most highly developed countries of Europe, and was comparable to France in economic potential.
What “independent and sovereign” Ukraine has to offer now, we can all see. In terms of GDP were capita, Ukraine occupies third place among the poorest countries of Europe (worse off countries are Albania and Moldavia). Millions of unemployed, hundreds of thousands of homeless. Destroyed families, children thrown to arbitrariness of fate. The continuous price increases on vital foodstuffs, medicines, transport and housing-communal services. An AIDS epidemic and tuberculosis…..
The catastrophic situation in the housing-communal sphere which according to the media, is worn out by more than 60%. It is namely because of the number of accidents in this sphere, (i.e. gas explosions in housing resulting in deaths) has grown in the last 10 years by 5(!) times. Public transport has been left to ruin. 90% of all trolleybuses and trams have worked well past their useful operational time.
Interesting in connection with this, are the words spoken by the leader of the Libyan revolution, Colonel Gadaffi at the beginning of November 08 who was on a visit to Ukraine: “Agricultural life in Ukraine is similar to that of in Africa”. (6.11.08. “Ukrainian Novosti”). What is true, must be true. Under Stalin, Ukraine was one of the most highly developed countries in the world in economic potential, which at that time provided one of the highest living standards and transformed Ukraine into a highly developed missile-space power. The result of 17 years of “independence” – a continuous decline of Ukraine from the heights of scientific-technological progress to the level of the most backward of African countries. This, according to Yushenko, is called the “devotion” to European-Atlantic values”

For “rescuing” the economy of Ukraine in the period of an ever deepening world financial crisis, the government of Timoshenko received from the IMF credit amounting to 16.5 billion US dollars for Ukraine.
In actual fact this credit was designated of rescuing Western banks which had invested their money in Ukraine. A large proportion of the credit will not get to Ukraine, but will go directly to the Western banking structures (which is why the IMF recommended such a measure). At the same time, this credit will have to be paid off by the Ukrainian taxpayer, that is, by you and I. In essence on the backs of Ukraine, its people, the Western economy is being rescued, the US economy – the main guilt party of the present crisis. (One should note that the US and the West are trying to put an end to the crisis on the backs of the weakest countries. In particular, the same IMF credits have been given to Hungary, Iceland as well as Ukraine, which are on the edge of default, that is, a financial collapse, brought about by the impossibility of making loans repayments; a default = not fulfilling repayment obligations, a cessation of payments).
At the same time, although a large amount of the credit will simply bypass Ukraine, the IMF handing out this credit has placed a whole number of demands on the National Bank of Ukraine. In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers has been instructed not raise the minimum wage to the level of the minimum needed to live; neither is there going to be a re-look at the conditions of indexation of welfare payouts or a raise wages of government employees in December 2008 –January 2009. Also the IMF is demanding for the next two years (2009 – 2011) that gas prices for domestic use, and which the population needs to be levelled the same as the price of imported gas, which will mean a growth in the price of gas for the population up to the level of world prices. Besides that, in the near future, the Cabinet of Ministers has to prepare a list of companies for privatization in 2009, as well as a market for the sale of land, the sale of agricultural land. And this means that Ukrainian peasants are being finally deprived of land which is being seized by local and foreign oligarchs and, with this, the process of transforming the Ukrainian peasantry in hired hands on their (by then, not their own) land. In actual fact, the process is complete, by Ukraine having accepted the given IMF demands (in the face of the president, premier and their loyal parliament, having adopted on 31 October the anti-crisis program put forward by the president, in the next 3 years has completely deprived the country of its economic and financial sovereignty, since all the decision in the financial-economic sphere will be taken only after the agreement of the IMF.
In the betraying of Ukraine’s national interests along with the interests of its working people, Yushenko’s and Timoshenko’s “patriotism” is included. In order to disguise their traitorous essence, Ukraine’s president has again, like a year ago, ignited a campaign on the 75th anniversary of the ‘golodomor’ (state initiated famine) in 1932-33.
***
The capitalists of Ukraine as well as the major imperialist countries are aiming to get the working people to take on the burden of the crisis themselves. The conditions of the working people of Ukraine are worsening by the day.
The only way out of the present situation – lies not in parliamentary chatter and elections, but a transfer of the working people of Ukraine over to the Leninist-Stalinist route of revolutionary struggle and destruction of the power of capital.

ABOUT EVENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
American-Israeli Zionism once again ignited the fire of war in the Middle East, having begun military action by the Israeli Armed Forces from the sea and on land against the people of Palestine, having again occupied the Gaza Strip. Despite UN demands for a halt to the violence and killing of the peaceful population of Palestine, the Israelis threatened to “put an end to it” – the destroy the Palestinians who are under an Israeli blockade in the Gaza Strip. The world progressive community demanded an immediate end of Israel’s military operations. A working group of international meetings of communist and workers’ parties of the majority of countries of the world made a Statement on 30 December, condemning the actions of the Israeli war machine in support of the just struggle of the Palestinian people for the creation of an independent Palestinian state in the framework of the borders of 1967. Under this Statement, stand many signatures of the leaders of communist and workers’ parties. The AUCPB added its voice in support of the demands for a halt in the massacre of peaceful Palestinians by the Israeli war machine, having place its signature under the Statement.
In Beirut, Lebanon, on the 16 -18 of January an International Forum took place under the heading “For resistance, anti-imperialism, solidarity between peoples, and the alternatives”, in which the majority of leaders from communist and workers’ parties, national-liberation movements of the Middle East and other regions took part. General Secretary of the CC AUCPB comrade N.A. Andreeva sent a letter of support to the Presidium of this Forum, which we cite below..
To the organizers and participators of the Forum in Beirut 16-18 January 2009
Dear Comrades!
The all-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks greets the organizers and participants of the Forum “For Resistance, Anti-Imperialism, Solidarity between Peoples, And the Alternatives” and wishes them true success in the work of the forum.
We fully support the just struggle of the Arab people of the Middle East for their statehood and independence, for their historical choice of development of the country, for peaceful co-existence in this explosive region of the world.
We recognize well that regardless of the various Resolutions that have been adopted by the UN, there can be no peace in this region whilst the Israeli Nazis are committing outrages here, carrying out the policy of world Zionism, whilst ALL Arab states and all patriotic forces of the Middle East do no unify in a joint struggle against the common enemy – American-Israeli Zionism.
We fully support the heroic struggle of all Palestinian patriots for their country’s independence and we heartedly support the principled position and revolutionary struggle of the patriots of the Islamic resistance movement “HAMAS”.
We understand that the struggle is being waged unfairly. The human loss on the two sides on 11 January 09 – 854 peaceful Palestinians killed and only 13 Israeli military servicemen – this bears witness to the weak organizational ability and extremely weakly equipped weapons of the “HAMAS” patriots compared to the regular army of Israel, freely obtaining from the USA unlimited numbers of the latest weapons systems and huge financial aid from the US at the same time.
The situation bears witness to the fact that in the Middle East a deliberate destruction of the peaceful Palestinian people is underway in bringing about the plans of Israel – USA, the plans of WORLD ZIONISM for the complete take over of Palestine. Lately, Israeli troops have been using phosphorus bombs banned by the UN. Israel has stated its intention to strengthen military pressure on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip (the third stage in the “molten lead” operation), despite the deepening humanitarian crisis there.
We wish the much suffering Palestinian people the quickest success in driving out the Israeli occupiers from the Gaza Strip, the return of Palestinians to their iconic Motherland, the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state in the framework of the 1967 borders with the capital – East Jerusalem.
Without an unification of efforts of all the Arab world in the struggle against world Zionism, the fire of war in the Middle East will be constantly burn, at times, getting less and then flaring up again.
We – the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (AUCPB) call on all Arab states of the Middle East to unite politically and practically in relation to American- Israeli Zionism, call on all patriotic forces, national-liberation movements, communist and workers’ parties and progressive social-political organisations to unity of actions in support of the just patriotic struggle of all the progressive forces of Palestine, in the support of the patriotic organisation – the Islamic resistance movement “HAMAS”.
