How does a state become fascist? How did Russia do it?
A special kind of nationalism is needed here. To convince people that you were once great. That once you were a military empire — and then you were humiliated. This is what Hitler once said: “Germany was great, had colonies in Africa, but we were humiliated at Versailles
Under the terms of the Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919, which ended the First World War, Germany had to get rid of its numerous colonies in Africa, China and Micronesia, cede significant territories in Europe and pay reparations to the victorious states of the war in the amount of $442 billion at 2012 prices.. Our empire was taken from us, and our people in other countries and former territories faced genocide. We need a strong ruler to come and restore our empire. To show that we are a big powerful player. And Iʼm ready to do it.”
Putin behaved the same way. He even said that if Russia does not regain its greatness, it will destroy the world.
Also, often in countries that become fascist, there are many economic problems. And nationalism, this feeling of power, can replace food — you will draw your happiness from this feeling, or from the awareness of yourself as a German or a white American. After that, you say that representative democracy is evil. That it allows the existence of LGBT people and the like, that the state is weak because of democracy. Fascism appeals to conservative, religious people who would not call themselves fascists. He tells them: we will protect you from your children becoming gay, from someone destroying your churches. And they often call all their opponents communists. And they get votes. Sound familiar, right?
[...]
It is ironic that the Russians, who were once rightly regarded as the victors over fascism and who now practice fascism, call their war "anti-fascist."
It is necessary to pay attention not to words, but to ideology. Putin can say that he is a liberator — but he is closer to Hitler than to Brezhnev, to Peter I than to communists. And this is an important argument in favor of why the Russians should not leave a single piece of Ukrainian land. For the same reasons why it was not possible to leave, for example, Warsaw under the Nazis.
Now Putin is talking about Ukrainians like Hitler was talking about Jews. He says that there can be no Ukrainians, only Russians, and that all Ukrainians are actually Russians. This position means that he is going to get rid of everyone who speaks the Ukrainian language. That is why all this delusion of the West about territorial concessions must stop.

Is so fuck up that the most things say about the genocide in Palestine is "cease fire" like would stop them from been under colonization. The most thing say should and must be "elimination of Israel and colonization ". They have no right to be in Palestine, Congo or any other Global South territory, as USA, UK, Germany, France, Canada, China, Russia, etc have zero right to be in Palestine or any other country that is not their countries. No colonies, no apartheid, no invasion, no imperialism. Remember when ppl was totally on board of go guerrilla mode to Ukraine to fight against Russia? Why u all so ok with go to fight to defend a racist xenophobic neo nazi state (which don't deserve colonization either, but hear this) and then u "remember" that Palestine and (Africa really) has been under invasion and colonialist for decades and centuries even, but hey, now rising in arms is bad and no a single person has speak about it?
We know that most of u will not have the knowledge to do a shit in Palestine territory, but where is the spirit? Where is all that which make dudes want to go to ukraine? Gone huh? So is only valid and important when is about fascist europeam white ppl, but not when is Global South ppl. Where are all the tankies huh? All the so called guerrilleros now? Ppl love to full their mouth with past or recent history of, for example, how ppl from all over the world went to fight in the Spanish civil war and how they were real leftists and all that. Now? Now u can't even boycott shit properly. Do u even know how many invasions, dictatorships and colonizations are right now?
So is not just cease fire, is get the fuck out of other ppls land. Is not just about Palestine, and at the same time everything's is about Palestine bc it has become more than clear that western countries have seen now that they can openly do whatever they want, plain sight, shown in every media, and ppl will not fight them, will not bomb their war companies and factories, will not fight the normality of daily life. The far right is openly taking the world, and ppl behave like is normal. We can't even join all the oppressed groups to demand fucking housing or having water, even less fight for other causes. The puppet of Europe and USA is killing Palestinians and neighbours countries. Congo, Sudan, Siria, Chad, Gabon, Burkina Faso, etc etc do u know what's going on in this places??? Did u know that USA has established 16 military bases invading South America this 2023? That is supporting the dictatorship in Argentina? (Yes, they are no longer under democracy). That Operacion Condor 2.0 is in process? That when in 2019 Chile dictatorships under Piñera the weapons, tactics and methods of mutilating where learn at hands of USA /israeli training and their intelligence apparatus? That every weapon has been "tested " on Palestine?
Every single bullet against Global South, every single tactic, every single technology of war, has been and is currently been used in Palestine.
Every attack made against Global South is has been and is an attack to Palestine, as every attack against Palestine is an attack that has reach or will gonna reach South America, Asia, Africa.

No. Jews are not Facing a Second Holocaust
The lead story in the New York Times today was about a few hundred people being let out of Gaza. Shaken, sick, injured, fearing for their lives, these people were finally able to leave after three weeks trapped in the strip and seek medical care or, in the case of the many foreign nationals among them, go home. Of course millions of Palestinians remain inside under a relentless hail of bombs and a ground invasion. Immediately next to this article was another piece headlined “Familiar Fear Gripping Jews Across Europe” with a subtitle about antisemitism surging since October 7th. I struggle to express how much I deplore the invocation of the Holocaust here. There is no denying that antisemitism is rising globally and that far-right parties have been rising in Europe for years, largely buoyed by anti-immigrant sentiments. But to invoke the Holocaust because of antisemitic incidents rising over the last three weeks is reprehensible. It manages to both minimize the Nazi genocide of Jews, and minimize what is happening to Palestinians at this very second. I know to some this statement may sound like a reach, so allow me to break it down. I would hope and assume that I do not need to explain how the rise of antisemitic violence over the last few weeks is nothing like the Holocaust. But to briefly state it, a combination of underlying antisemitism and anger over the actions of the state of Israel has led to a rise in violence against Jews. I wrote this past weekend about how Israel seeks to bind the Jewish identity to their Zionist project, how the far-right across the globe is the number one purveyor of antisemitism, and how fascists are seeking to take advantage of this moment. And yet that is in no way comparable to an entire military and nation committing to the eradication of the Jewish people. It is not comparable to the Holocaust. To make that comparison is one thing, and it's unacceptable. But to then place that directly next to an article about how a few hundred people were able to flee the relentless attack on the Gaza Strip is unforgivable. Placing them side-by-side works to manufacture the lie that Jewish fears in Europe, and elsewhere, are in any way comparable to the mass bombing of civilians, refugee camps, schools, and more. Palestinians are being killed by the thousands in Gaza. In the West Bank they are being attacked in a way that many Jews and other observers compare to the notorious pogroms we were subjected to in Eastern Europe and Russia. We cannot, must not pretend that our understandable fears about antisemitic attacks are in any way comprable to the mass violence that Israel is unleashing upon Palestinians right now. Our fears are reasonable, are valid, but to play up and distort our victimhood is both disingenuous and serves to provide cover for genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Russia must be recognized as a terrorist state by the entire civilized world. We should talk about Russia the same way we talk about Nazi Germany.
Tumblr media
(here's the video but only with russian subs)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the outskirts of Mariupol, journalists discovered several huge mass graves. Satellite images show a trench 300 meters long. And the length of the grave increases with time. There, the Russians bury the bodies of the murdered Ukrainians. In that one grave may be from 3,000 to 9,000 dead Mariupol residents.
Since the beginning of the war, according to preliminary estimates, the Russians have killed about 22,000 people in Mariupol. In just one city.
These people were killed in their country, on their land, in their own homes. Simply for being Ukrainians.
After p*tin ordered to "stop storming Azovstal", the Russians continued to bomb it just like before.
Russia claims that this is not a war of conquest, not a seizure of land and not a genocide, but a "special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine", whatever that may mean in their sick heads. What baffles me is that they don't even try to keep up the appearances!
On the occupied Ukrainian lands they hang out their flags, impose ruble currency instead of Ukrainian hryvnia, basically ban everything Ukrainian, kidnap and kill legally elected heads of settlements.
They also kidnap, torture and kill volunteers, former soldiers and people who are simply objectionable to them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here, for example, is a telegram channel with people abducted (and probably killed) in Melitopol, one small town. And it's a drop in the ocean.
Russia is no longer pretending, the masks have been dropped. It is a barbaric, terrorist, fascist, Nazy state and should be treated as such. Should've been a long, long time ago.

“You side with genocide,” chant protestors after campaign town hall question about RSS
By OFMI - April 2, 2019
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA—Approximately 25 demonstrators protested against U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) as she campaigned for president in Los Angeles, CA on March 30.
Waving signs reading “Tulsi, Prince$$ of the R$$” and “Stop Supporting Fascism in India,” the group included Christians, Dalits, and Sikhs. They distributed flyers alleging that Gabbard is “an ally of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The flyers explained, “The RSS is a paramilitary in India which was founded in 1925 and grew with inspiration from the Nazis and Italian Fascists. They have created affiliated groups all over the world. Today, they rule India through the BJP political party.”
“I came here because I want to preserve American values o freedom and justice,” said local Sikh businessman Harjeet Singh. “Foreign interference in our U.S. elections worries me, especially when it comes from India’s RSS and BJP which are responsible for massacring so many minorities in India.”
Inside the town hall event, which was hosted at the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, several hundred people gathered to hear the aspiring presidential candidate. “We will change the course of our future to one where we have a government that is truly of, by, and for the people,” said Gabbard. She promised to “bring the principles of honor, and integrity, and respect back to the presidency.”
After Gabbard spoke, she took three questions from the audience. Pieter Friedrich, an analyst of South Asian affairs, rose to ask about her alleged ties to the Indian paramilitary organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
“Hawaii resident Michael Brannon Parker says he has known you since you were a child and he introduced you to the RSS, a violent paramilitary in India,” said Friedrich. “Vijay Pallod of Texas is a leader in RSS-affiliated groups in the USA, and he confirms that he met you through Michael Brannon Parker. In your first two terms in office, you also met the RSS spokesperson at least three times. And you spoke at many RSS events, including two in India. When did your collaboration with the RSS begin and how much money have they given you?”
As Gabbard paused before answering, an audience member yelled, “Speak up.” She then replied, “I’m a soldier, and I took an oath. One oath in my life.” As she spoke, a demonstrator outside shouted, “An oath to the RSS.” She continued, “That was an oath to serve and protect this country, to put my life on the line for the people of this country.” She added, “We stand for aloha, we stand for diversity, we stand for peace.” While most of the audience remained seated, she stated, “Thank you everybody for standing with me.” Finally, she concluded, “It is this kind of attacks that are rooted in religious bigotry that we must stand together and condemn.”
“I didn’t mention any religion,” commented Friedrich later. “I asked about a paramilitary organization modeled after those of Italian and German fascists. Why is she tarnishing Hinduism by calling questions about RSS money ‘bigotry’?”
Gabbard’s event ended. As the audience left, dozens interacted with the demonstration outside. Some gathered to listen as several demonstrators spoke through a megaphone.
“I am a representative of the black community,” said demonstrator Jada Bernard. “It is sad to say that, in 2019, white nationalism is an issue for the black community. The diversity of America must be protected.” He explained, “In this country, white nationalism has a history with the KKK and other groups, and the RSS of India has been known as the KKK of India.”
Referencing the recent white nationalist terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, Bernard pointed out that accused terrorist Brenton Tarrant said he was inspired by Anders Breivik of Norway. Breivik killed 77 Norwegians in 2011. “This white nationalist said that white nationalists all over the globe should strengthen their ties with the RSS,” said Bernard. “So what we want to do is bring this issue of white nationalism to Tulsi. And we want to say, ‘Why are you spending time with the RSS? Why are you taking money from the RSS? Why are you speaking at RSS events?’”
“It’s sad to see Tulsi refusing to acknowledge the extreme violence of the RSS,” remarks Arvin Valmuci, a spokesperson for U.S.-based human rights group Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI). “We remember the most recent pogrom against Christians, in 2008 in Odisha, where even the Chief Minister of the state said that the RSS was guilty. It’s even more shameful that Tulsi, as participants in the protest told us, refused to answer any of the questions about her links to the RSS.”
The flyer distributed by demonstrators posed a series of questions for Gabbard, which included:
– The United Nations says that the RSS is an “ultranationalist” group promoting “Hindu extremism.” The U.S. State Department says that the RSS is responsible for violence against Christians and Muslims in India. How do you feel about the RSS?
– Why was BJP spokesperson Ram Madhav at your wedding, why did you meet him earlier when he was the RSS spokesperson, and how many times have you met Ram Madhav?
– When you met the BJP President in 2013, you got thousands of dollars in donations from Overseas Friends of BJP leaders. When you spoke at BJP banquets in Atlanta and Los Angeles, the organizers made calls from the stage for people to donate to your campaign and you again got thousands of dollars. Why did you allow a foreign political party to do Russia-style interference in your election?
– You released a video saying you were honored to be the Chairperson of last year’s World Hindu Congress in Chicago. The head of the RSS was the main speaker at the event. Then you quietly backed out at the last minute. You have spoken at many RSS events before, so why did you back out of speaking at this one?
– Why have you never made any statement acknowledging the suffering of India’s Christians, Dalits, Muslims, and Sikhs? When members of all of these communities accuse the RSS and BJP of attacking them, why do you frequently go to RSS and BJP events?

[EN/FR] Afrin is not alone ! Afrin n’est pas seule !
Tumblr media
The fall of the city of Afrin must not prevent to demonstrate the solidarity, the turkish state doesn’t stop in Afrin but want attack the others parts of Rojava.
La chute de la ville d’Afrin ne doit pas empêcher les manifestations de solidarité, l’Etat turc ne s’arrêtera pas à ce canton et prévoit d’attaquer le reste du Rojava.
http://internationalistcommune.com/worldafrinday/
Afrin is not alone, March 24 #WorldAfrinDay The 20th of January the invasion of the canton of Afrin began. This territory located in the western part of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria has been bombarded mercilessly by fighter jets, artillery and all kinds of modern weaponry which carry the NATO seal. The Turkish army, so as not to dirty their hands and hide the number of casualties in their ranks, is using jihadist militias to carry out the attack. These militias were first a part of Al-Qaeda, in 2014 reorganized as Daesh and they now go under the banner of the FSA. The brutal images the invaders are posting to their social media, as well as their cries calling to war against the infidels, screaming “Allahu Akbar” at the top of their lungs, remind us that Rojava is still fighting the same enemy it once defeated in Kobane and Raqqa. But this time, the flag they stand behind is that of the second largest army of NATO. In addition, the black Daesh flag has been seen in several pictures with the red Turkish flag. Several of the combatants, killed in battle by the self-defense forces resisting in Afrin, have been positively identified as Daesh commanders.
The fascist and misogynistic dictator of the Turkish state, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has stated publicly that through this invasion against an autonomous territory inside a sovereign country, it wishes to “return Afrin to its real owners”. But behind this charade, it’s actually carrying out an ethnic cleansing and a genocide against the Kurdish people and other minorities, that have been living in Afrin since time immemorial. Afrin has been one of the few territories that has enjoyed a relative peace in the bloody war of Syria that has been raging for the last 7 years. Many families displaced by war, have sought shelter in this territory. Now Erdogan is trying to take advantage of this instability and the suffering that grips the peoples of Syria so as to legitimize its imperialist power grabs, dreaming of reconquering the territories that were once occupied by the Ottoman Empire.
The international community is turning a blind eye to the repeated calls for help that come out of Afrin. Russia’s withdrawal of troops stationed in Afrin gave the green light to the invasion and signals its complicity with the Turkish state. However, this complicity is no smaller than that of NATO’s member states. These are allowing Turkey to use western weaponry and technology to massacre civilians. The Democratic Federation of Northern Siria has been the main force fighting the Islamist barbarism of Daesh, but this seems to be irrelevant for those governments which, since 2014, have been lamenting every massacre that the Daesh propaganda claimed. On the 24th of February, a resolution was unanimously adopted by the UN Security Council for a cease-fire in all of Siria. This offered a glimmer of hope to prevent more civilian massacres. Nonetheless, the silence that has followed the Turkish intensification of its attacks is undeniable.
For its part, Bashar Al-Assad’s Baathist regime, after declaring that it would never allow the invasion of Syrian soil by Turkey, has proven an incapacity to confront the aggression. Despite having anti-aircraft systems that could stop the Turkish Air Force from striking, the regime demanded Afrin total submission to the Syrian state and to give up its autonomy, which has been attained through the revolutionary process that Rojava has seen in the last years. There is no doubt that this invasion is a result of the Sochi agreements between Assad, Russia, and Turkey. The Syrian Arab Army has chosen to avoid any direct confrontation that might oppose Erdogan’s plans and to abandon the Syrian Democratic Forces. Its dependency towards Russia and its enmity towards the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria is allowing the neo-ottoman jihadist forces to occupy Afrin.
The situation is critical. The forces of occupation are at the city gates. A city which shelters not only its inhabitants but numerous refugees that have fled their villages after the destruction caused by the Turkish bombardments. In addition to the massive shelling, there have been chemical attacks reported against civilians, specifically with chlorine gas. However, this is not the full picture of the mayhem caused, vital infrastructures for the survival of the civilian population have been deliberately attacked. A week ago Turkey cut off water and electricity supply to the city forcing its residents to flee. The siege continues and the population faces an impending massacre. Yesterday it was ISIS in Kobane, today it is the Turkish state in Afrin. And as kobane, Afrin will resist, Afrin will win.
The Internationalist Commune of Rojava, having taken into account all these facts, joins the multiple solidarity initiatives with Afrin. We call on everybody to join a day of action and global solidarity, as the one that took place on 1st November 2014 for Kobane.
#WorldAfrinDay will take place on Saturday 24th of March. Solidarity with Afrin will be heard and felt all around the world to prove that Afrin is not alone and that the democratic and antipatriarchal project that is alive in Afrin will be defended worldwide.
#WorldAfrinDay
Long live international solidarity Biji Berxwedana Afrin Afrin n’est pas seul, 24 mars #WorldAfrinDay (24 mars, la Journée mondiale pour Afrin) Le 20 janvier, l’invasion du canton d’Afrin par l’armée turque a commencé. Ce territoire situé dans la partie occidentale de la Fédération Démocratique de la Syrie du Nord a été bombardé sans merci par des avions de chasse, de l’artillerie et toutes sortes d’armes modernes qui portent le sceau de l’OTAN. L’armée turque, pour ne pas se salir les mains et cacher le nombre de victimes dans ses rangs, utilise des milices djihadistes pour mener l’attaque. Ces milices faisaient d’abord partie d’Al-Qaïda, réorganisées en 2014 sous le nom de Daesh, elles sont maintenant placées sous la bannière de l’Armée Syrienne Libre (FSA). Les images brutales que les envahisseurs publient dans les réseaux sociaux, ainsi que leurs cris appelant à la guerre contre les infidèles, criant “Allahu Akbar” à se déchirer les poumons, nous rappellent que le Rojava lutte toujours contre l’ennemi qu’il a déjà vaincu à Kobanê et Raqqa. Mais cette fois, le drapeau qu’ils attaquent est celui de la deuxième plus grande armée de l’OTAN. En outre, le drapeau noir de Daesh a été vu sur plusieurs photos avec le drapeau rouge turc. Plusieurs des combattants, tués au combat par les forces d’autodéfense résistantes d’Afrin, ont été identifiés comme des commandants de Daesh.
Le dictateur fasciste et misogyne de l’Etat turc, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a déclaré publiquement qu’à travers cette invasion contre un territoire autonome à l’intérieur d’un pays souverain, il souhaite “rendre Afrin à ses véritables propriétaires”. Mais derrière cette mascarade, il y a en fait un nettoyage ethnique et un génocide contre le peuple kurde et d’autres minorités, qui vivent à Afrin depuis des temps immémoriaux. Afrin a été l’un des rares territoires à jouir d’une paix relative dans la guerre sanglante syrienne qui fait rage depuis 7 ans. De nombreuses familles déplacées par la guerre ont cherché refuge dans ce territoire. Aujourd’hui, Erdogan tente de profiter de cette instabilité et des souffrances qui s’emparent des peuples de Syrie pour légitimer ses prises de pouvoir impérialistes, rêvant de reconquérir les territoires jadis occupés par l’Empire ottoman. La communauté internationale ferme les yeux sur les appels répétés à l’aide lancés par Afrin. Le retrait des troupes russes stationnées à Afrin a donné le feu vert à l’invasion et marque sa complicité avec l’Etat turc. Toutefois, cette complicité n’est pas moindre que celle des États membres de l’OTAN. Celles-ci permettent à la Turquie d’utiliser les armes et la technologie occidentales pour massacrer des civils. La Fédération démocratique de la Syrie du nord a été la principale force de lutte contre la barbarie islamiste de Daesh, mais cela semble sans importance pour les gouvernements qui, depuis 2014, déplorent chaque massacre revendiqué par la propagande de Daesh. Le 24 février, le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies a adopté à l’unanimité une résolution pour un cessez-le-feu dans l’ensemble de la Syrie. Cela a offert une lueur d’espoir pour empêcher d’autres massacres civils. Néanmoins, le silence qui a suivi l’intensification turque de ses attaques est indéniable.
Pour sa part, le régime baasiste de Bachar Al-Assad, après avoir déclaré qu’il ne permettrait jamais l’invasion du sol syrien par la Turquie, s’est révélé incapable de faire face à l’agression. Bien qu’ayant des systèmes antiaériens qui pourraient empêcher la force aérienne turque de frapper, le régime exigeait une soumission totale d’Afrin à l’État syrien et de renoncer à son autonomie, ce qui a été atteint grâce au processus révolutionnaire que le Rojava a connu ces dernières années. Il ne fait aucun doute que cette invasion est le résultat des accords de Sochi entre Assad, la Russie et la Turquie. L’armée arabe syrienne a choisi d’éviter toute confrontation directe qui pourrait s’opposer aux plans d’Erdogan et d’abandonner les forces démocratiques syriennes. Sa dépendance à l’égard de la Russie et son hostilité à l’égard de la Fédération démocratique de Syrie du Nord permettent aux forces néo-ottomanes djihadistes d’occuper Afrin.
La situation est critique. Les forces d’occupation sont aux portes de la ville. Une ville qui abrite non seulement ses habitants mais aussi de nombreux réfugiés qui ont fui leurs villages après les destructions causées par les bombardements turcs. Outre les bombardements massifs, des attaques chimiques ont été signalées contre des civils, en particulier avec du chlore gazeux. Cependant, ce n’est pas le tableau complet du désordre causé, les infrastructures vitales pour la survie de la population civile ont été délibérément attaquées. Il y a une semaine, la Turquie a coupé l’approvisionnement en eau et en électricité de la ville, forçant ses habitants à fuir. Le siège se poursuit et la population est confrontée à un massacre imminent. Hier c’était Daesh à Kobanê, aujourd’hui c’est l’État turc à Afrin.
La Commune Internationaliste du Rojava, ayant pris en compte tous ces faits, s’associe aux multiples initiatives de solidarité avec Afrin. Nous appelons tout le monde à se joindre à une journée d’action et de solidarité mondiale, comme celle qui a eu lieu le 1er novembre 2014 pour Kobanê. Et comme Kobanê hier, Afrin résistera, Afrin vaincra. Le WorldAfrinDay aura lieu le dimanche 24 mars. La solidarité avec Afrin sera entendue et ressentie partout dans le monde pour prouver qu’Afrin n’est pas seule et que le projet démocratique et anti-patriarcal qui vit à Afrin sera défendu dans le monde entier.
#WorldAfrinDay
Longue vie à la solidarité internationale !
Biji Berxwedana Afrin !

About capitalism and communism. Comparative analysis experience
Was Lenin a dissident of his era, i.e. a person who did not think like the majority, including the majority of Social Democrats? Undoubtedly, he was. How did his struggle end? A grandiose, unprecedented victory of the working class, first of all, over the big bourgeoisie in Russia. What, besides moral satisfaction, the opportunity to combine the requirements of objective laws with the life of society, unprecedented respect from the majority of the inhabitants of the Earth, did Lenin receive? Nothing else.
Was Solzhenitsyn a dissident? Undoubtedly, yes. How did his struggle end? His personal victory over the friendship between the peoples of the USSR. That is, it was not Stalin who was defeated, because "the dead will not have shame" and, even, not the memory of him, as evidenced by systematic sociological surveys, but simple-minded ordinary workers who, thanks to the victory of the anti-communists, became guest workers, at best. What did Solzhenitsyn get as a result of his victory? The Dynamite King Award and the right to reside in the United States, a country that planned to be the first to use nuclear bombs in all major cities of the USSR as early as 1957.
Both after the Great October and after the Solzhenitsyn victory, the bourgeoisie unleashed a civil war in the country and promoted foreign intervention.
It is true that in two years Lenin forced the bourgeoisie and the foreign interventionists to be defeated in the civil war they had unleashed, and mobilized the party, the intelligentsia, and the workers to develop and implement the GOELRO plan. Three years after the end of the civil war, in terms of industrial production, Russia again reached the figures of 1913. And by 1922, the peoples of the largest regions of the former tsarist Russia voluntarily decided to unite in the Soviet Union. Lenin, by his consistent international policy, ruled out the emergence of fascism on the territory of the USSR, while, in almost all the civilized countries of Western Europe, the first fascist parties had already been created.
After the victory of Solzhenitsyn and his followers over the USSR, the revived bourgeoisie and religious clans provoked a resurgence of fascism and a new civil war between the peoples of the former USSR, which continues to this day and, at the time of writing, has lasted for 25 years. The peoples of Central Asia, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the peoples of the North Caucasus are at war. For more than a year, there has been a civil war on the territory of Ukraine.
The problem is compounded by the fact that, even in the boldest hypothetical theory, it is impossible to formulate any objective reason why, in a market democracy, the civil war of all against all could stop. In the conditions of capitalism, civil wars are an organic continuation of the competition of entrepreneurs, which first develops into individual contract killings, and then into fascism and world wars. And for this reason, too, the volume of production in the democratic Russian Federation has not reached the level of, at least, the 80s of the RSFSR.
Under the blows of constantly increasing domestic difficulties, the harmfulness of the" arrangement " of the USSR according to Solzhenitsyn's advice is felt more and more strongly, and the consistency of the Leninist-Stalinist model of human development is gradually becoming apparent to an increasing number of young people around the world. But in the absence of a full-fledged Bolshevik party in the global political space, that is, personnel for scientific explanation of the reasons for the deterioration of living conditions, the inhabitants of the whole world come to an increasingly enraged state, as a result of which there are movements like ISIL. Religious speculation cannot overshadow the fact that the world order established after the collapse of the USSR does not suit the vast masses of the peoples of the world and, without looking far into the future, they are firmly convinced of the need to destroy the existing system of dependence of peoples, first of all, on the oligarchs of the United States.
From the point of view of internal consequences, the past twenty-five years of the genocidal policy of the oligarchs on the territory of the former USSR caused, in the Russian Federation alone, a reduction in the population, on average, by one million people per year. The situation is even worse in the other republics of the former USSR. In particular, Estonia has become a sex tourism zone for the countries of North-Western Europe and, according to the UN, has taken one of the first places in the world in terms of the number of HIV-infected citizens. Latvia is depopulated due to the mass migration of citizens to Western Europe to such an extent that Russian-speaking subjects began to enter state and elected posts in Riga. The population of Armenia, taking into account the number of emigrants to the Russian Federation, without the slightest participation of the Turkish janissaries, again fell to the level of the beginning of the twentieth century.
True, in the Russian Federation in 2015, the birth rate for the first time exceeded the death rate, but this, due to the general market trend, only contributes to an increase in the reserve army of labor with a fall in the pace of economic development, and this means a new wave of extinction of the unemployed and the growth of senseless and merciless frenzy among the inhabitants.
Thus, if we compare the consequences of dissidence on the basis of communist theory with dissidence on capitalist grounds, they are just as opposite as, for example, the May Day demonstration of workers and the gathering of Satanists in the cemetery.
About the most important thing in the capitalist economy?
One of the paradoxes of modern public consciousness is the fact that after two world wars, the genocide of Russians, Armenians, Poles, Gypsies, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Jews, an endless series of local wars and global economic crises, it is necessary to explain to intellectuals, like the picket vests of the glorious "Chernomorsk", what is wrong with capitalism, and whether it was necessary to "put your fingers in his mouth". It turns out that significant masses of the intelligentsia, to some extent, assimilate differential and integral calculus, are able to read the works of Ilf and Petrov, endure to the tenth page of Solzhenitsyn's novel, but they cannot assimilate the truth that capitalism is the main source of wars and all forms of genocide.
But, since it is still not obvious to many, it will have to be proved again and again.
As history shows, capitalism, to a much greater extent than previous socio-economic formations, is synonymous with the continuous war of ALL against ALL, without any exceptions, in ALL spheres of public life, for the sake of even greater enslavement of the losers.
There are two opposite states of the human psyche in relation to the reflected object: love and hate. Capitalism is a word adopted to denote a social structure in which mutual hatred is the main driving motive for the violent activity of the subjects. It is not without reason that many languages have a word for a non - malicious way of comparing people's abilities-competition, and for a competition to the death - competition.
Even under slavery and feudalism, the level of antagonism between members of agricultural patriarchal communities, between latifundists and slaves, between feudal lords and peasants was significantly lower than between all social types of the population under capitalism.
The slaveholder and the feudal lord understood and were forced to consciously spend money on the maintenance of workers in such a volume that their working capacity and professional skills did not decrease, because the main volume of workers had to be replenished by new wasteful wars or to reproduce them naturally, multiplying and training. After all, the power of slaveholders and feudal lords, the senseless luxury of their palaces and castles, their position in society was adequate to the current number of strong warriors, efficient and skilled slaves and serfs.
Under slavery and feudalism, the territory and population were assigned to private individuals by the supreme political and religious authorities, and for a long period there were no ways to assign the property of one owner to another without the decision of the pharaohs, priests, emperor, senate, king. Therefore, especially from feudalism, there is a lot of evidence of the faithful service of small-scale nobles, knights, samurai to their suzerains, shoguns, up to reckless self-sacrifice in battle and hara-kiri by the decision of the master. If the suzerain lost the war, then both he and his vassals often paid for their weakness with their lives. The victor always had enough of his vassals.
Under capitalism, the market not only involves the purposeful destruction of competitors, but also, due to the significantly increased productivity of labor and the primitivization of labor operations, a multi-million-dollar reserve "army of labor" has emerged in all developed countries, and the peoples of most of the colonial dependent countries have turned into free plantations of "black wood" for slave traders.
The owner of the means of subsistence and the means of production under capitalism no longer had to think about the living conditions of wage slaves. Hired slaves must pay the master for a bed in the barracks, although even the slaves of Athens and Rome received a place in the barracks for free. The excess of the commodity "labor force" on the market led not only to the disregard of the owners for their workers and slaves, but also to the fact that competition arose between hired slaves, turning into a fight, which is especially noticeable during the battles between strikebreakers and striking proletarians who beg for a salary increase from their master.
As we know from modern history, the transformation of the consciousness of the English lords in relation to their peasants was once so rapid that the entire mass of serfs, almost in one day, was thrown out to "freedom", and the lords lost any interest in them. The days when lords with dogs caught runaway peasants were replaced by the mass export of peasants to Australia under the guise of vagabonds, shirking work.
Under capitalism, any kind of joint life activity, corporatism is forced, conditional, most often, cynical (Against whom are we friends?), and the state of universal competition, the focus of partners on mutual destruction, is absolute.
In the USSR, the process of humanization in a number of aspects has already gone so far that all normal people have forgotten, for example, what a marriage contract is. Love among Soviet citizens was the main, and most often, the only reason for applying to the registry office for a piece of paper that had a poetic and symbolic meaning for lovers. Under capitalism, the bulk of marriages in non-proletarian families are an ordinary commercial enterprise, and therefore the couple needs a legal document in the form of a contract, slightly insuring in case one spouse "throws" the other, which happens in more than half of the cases.
Under capitalism, if you don't measure, weigh, and cheat your partner, it means that they purposefully beat you, i.e., measure, weigh, and cheat you. In the life of entrepreneurs, it is difficult, if at all possible, to find an event or a period of time in a person's life when he would be outside the process of mass deception, robbery, self-deception and self-enslavement.
Surprisingly, most of the modern intellectuals of the technical and humanitarian profile who lived in the USSR pretend that they still do not understand that it is much more practical to "squeeze out" a ready-made business by committing a contract murder, raider seizure, or acquiring a controlling stake through front people, in terms of the time frame for achieving the goal (making a profit), than to create a business from scratch. Therefore, throughout the civilized world, the practice of raiding is carried out in parallel with the propaganda of the idea that the capitalist differs from the proletarian, first of all, by increased diligence. But this myth has been refuted by the practice of many decades in all countries, especially in the era of the initial accumulation of capital under the "Colt" law, and has acquired an international character in the era of stock exchange imperialist globalism, when oligarchs "squeeze" entire countries from each other. Today, in particular, under the slogan of the struggle for the "nezalezhnost" of Ukraine, there is a struggle between the oligarchs of the United States, Germany and the Russian Federation for the possession of its resources.
Such Marxist cogs as, for example, Abalkin, Bunich, Shmelev, Gaidar, having memorized the brief definition of bourgeois political economy, which states that political economy is the science of the forms of production, i.e., economic relations, did not bother to understand and answer the question, and what is the nature of the relations indicated by Marx? Why did Engels include this definition among the brilliant discoveries of Marx?
In the most commonly used version, Marx's definition states that bourgeois political economy is the science of relations between people arising from the production, appropriation, exchange, distribution and consumption of the material and spiritual conditions of human existence. If we CONCRETIZE the character of each of these forms of relations, AND EACH OF THE BRILLIANT TRUTHS OF MARXISM is CONCRETE, we must admit that bourgeois political economy is the science of relations between people, primarily in the form of mass VIOLENCE and general mutual DECEPTION IN EACH EPISODE of these relations. In other words, THE RELATIONS OF DECEPTION AND VIOLENCE ARE THE objective BASIS OF THE CAPITALIST FORMATION. Whether we are talking about production, appropriation, exchange, distribution or consumption under capitalism, if there is a fact of profit, then there was either an act of purposeful, competent deception, or shameless plunder, conquest.
And since deception and robbery sooner or later reveal themselves, it is necessary to unilaterally enforce the results of deception, because otherwise, as is the case among gamblers, the caught cheater is severely beaten in the face and justice is restored.
In order not to be treated like cheaters, entrepreneurs create police and prisons in advance to contain all those who, one way or another, having discovered the fraud, try to compensate for the losses in the shortest way: to return the loot. Therefore, the main task and content of political economy as a bourgeois science is, first of all, to disguise the fact that private land ownership is the result of the forcible alienation of land from primitive and feudal communities by the religious and secular nobility. In the future, imperial and democratic slavery, absolutist and democratic feudalism, democratic and imperialist capitalism are based on the same form of private ownership of Land, once forcibly alienated from direct producers, and, until now, inherited according to the slave-feudal principle of consanguinity. The similarity of all these forms of land ownership is absolute. The differences are absolutely not significant.
The real political economy of bourgeois society is based on private ownership of the Land, after its forcible seizure and forcible retention of the land, on relations of disproportionate exchange in the form of mass deception, i.e., on the state of the land. trade, on the basis of the unfair distribution of the newly created value for a meager salary, on the one hand, and meaningless profit, on the other hand, which, in turn, generates, at one pole of society, material and spiritual poverty, forced asceticism of the vast majority of the world's population, and at the other pole - gluttony, extravagance, stock gambling and many other forms of parasitic consumption of the aristocracy.
Therefore, political economy as a bourgeois science, already in its very first literary models of Moncretien and Petty, and, in the classical Ricardian version, and in the vulgar works of Marshall, Samuelson, Leontief, Keynes, and Mankew, is an exposition of the principles of satisfying the egoism of the usurpers of the means of production, and nothing more. During the period of the formation of bourgeois nationalism, the egoism of the business class was elevated to the rank of the interest of the entire nation, and therefore the youth of the proletarian part of the nation and the middle class were driven to incessant wars for the sake of the victory of the egoism of one national group of entrepreneurs over the egoism of all other entrepreneurs of any nation. In parallel with the international relations of conquest and enslavement, within each nation there was a process of devouring small-minded egoists, i.e. small and medium-sized entrepreneurs of their nation, by more voracious competitors.
All economic relations in class societies based on private property are neither conceivable nor feasible without the use of real violence or the threat of its use. This is the only way to understand Marx's idea that" violence is an economic potency, " i.e., force.
But the use of violence or the threat of violence is possible only when, from the very beginning, the subject who has decided to turn part of the material objects of the planet into his private property, spends financial and material resources on creating tools for violence against people, trains professional rapists, officers and sergeants, and provides them with living conditions that are slightly more tolerable than those of the majority of slaves, plebeians, peasants and proletarians. A well-fed slave, including a manager and an officer, brutalizes, for the time being, with a special frenzy, thus compensating for his conscious insignificance.
Thus, if, for example, Düring deduced the "theory of violence" from the evil will of the rapist, then Marxism proceeds from the fact that the will of the rapist cannot be realized until all the objective and subjective prerequisites have matured, first of all, in the form of "surplus" means of existence, which, taking advantage of mass simpletonism, future exploiters will direct to the creation of their own apparatus of violence. Either the good will be with the fists, or the fist will make you a day laborer and an eternal debtor.
In ancient times, a vague guess about the organic relationship of violence with the slave-owning form of prosperity of the masters came to Aristotle. Later, the idea that the science of market economy should be called political economy, that is, an economy based on the institution of violence, came to the mind of the theorist and adventurer-practitioner, Moncretien, already in the XVI century. He, the first of the French, analyzed the features of the market economies of Holland, and then England, and realized that the market economy of the country works the better, the more fully the legislative, executive and judicial authorities are configured to serve the interests of business, that without the police, prisons, army, officials, secret intelligence services, i.e. without POLITICS, without POWER relations and institutions used in the interests of "owners of factories, newspapers, steamships", private capitalist property cannot function. Moreover, according to the views of Moncretien, who fled from absolutist France to democratic Holland, the better the parliamentary mechanism works, the slower the masses become enlightened, the less the proletarians create problems for entrepreneurs, the more recklessly entrepreneurs can behave in the domestic and foreign markets. It is with the requirement of conformity of economic and political systems that all subsequent versions of the theory of market political economy were developed by its classics, and this is what its vulgarizers tried to disguise.
Having assimilated the cornerstone political economic ideas, the apologists of the market economy proceed from the fact that only by breaking the military-political system of a competitor country, it is possible to take over its internal market. Therefore, each subsequent war of the capitalist era is preceded by more and more grandiose efforts to achieve preliminary military-technical and military-economic superiority over a rival country.
But it may be asked, how can capitalism be considered selfish and aggressive, if we see widely advertised acts of charity, patronage? Aren't these indicators of the breadth and responsiveness of entrepreneurial souls?
But this question would be appropriate if we forget what "dust in the eyes" is, self-promotion, if we do not understand how tempting it is to reduce taxation on money withdrawn to charitable foundations, and if we "forget" that the extra money must first be looted in an amount exceeding reasonable limits, and only then, perhaps, it will turn, one day, into some charity.
Bill Gates has already invested a significant part of his capital in charitable foundations. What is the plan for using these billions is unknown, but they are already protected from large taxes. As the financial speculator Soros admitted, once in his life there came a moment when he no longer knew where to use the profits, and therefore he began to spend them on paying for the services of agents of influence, NGOs in the countries chosen for the color revolutions. Only after, for example, and Rockefeller, there will be amounts that he will not be able to profitably attach, perhaps, and he will have a crazy idea, along with the purchase of a sixth donor heart, to give one heart to a dying child, whose father earned this money, but, foolishly, gave Rockefeller. However, in the history of the Rockefeller family, there was no advertising noise about this form of charity. Money for children's hearts is collected from the world by a thread.
It must be borne in mind that under capitalism, the main source of useless profits, the main deceived, i.e., the subject that is being cheated, weighed down, and measured, is the proletariat mainly of physical labor, followed by the proletariat mainly of intellectual labor.
However, relations within the bourgeois class are built on the same principle: a relatively strong entrepreneur cheats, outweighs, shortchanges, and thus eats up the life time of a weak entrepreneur, and very often takes away his life itself.
The victory of one of the entrepreneurs in the competition, the results of which are summed up not by measuring the ratio of income and expenses of competitors, but by the real bankruptcy of one of them, means that the meanest one who sold a similar product at a higher price or, conversely, at a dumping price won, ruining the competitor in order to gain a monopoly position for himself, first on the local, and then on the world market.
In any case, the operation of the objective law of uneven production and sale of goods in a market economy is caused by the CONSCIOUS desire of EACH of the participants in the market process to take advantage of all the WEAKNESSES, mainly lower education, scanty life experience of young participants in market relations, especially children, women and guest workers.
It must be understood that the operation of the economic laws of capitalism is the real activity of people, conditioned by the level of development of the means of production, the motives of people and the level of their mental and professional development. The lower the level of general development and professionalism of the subject, the less likely it is to win in competition with similar motives and the same means of production.
Meanwhile, as practice has shown, in modern parties with communist names, the vulgarization of Marxism prevails, and the case is presented in such a way as if the objective economic laws of capitalism exist either on paper or by themselves, and do not manifest themselves ONLY through the conscious, malicious activities of the subjects of the RULING class, whose worldview presupposes a PURPOSEFUL, CONSCIOUS robbery not only of the proletarians of mental and physical labor, but also of everything that moves, up to their "classmates".
The Soviet economists extended the law of value, derived by Marx ONLY for the case of the exchange of goods for goods in SIMPLE commodity production, when it is impossible to obtain profit, especially in monetary form, in general, to capitalist production, the essence of which is precisely the violation of the law of value. Marx proved that the entrepreneur, buying from a person only his labor force, knew in advance that a person's personality is not equal to his ability to work alone. However, the entrepreneur pays only for the cost of the person's labor force for the required time, although the entire person and the entire working day are involved in the production process. But the personality of the worker does not interest the entrepreneur, on the contrary, the entrepreneur is interested and seeks to ensure that the personality in the hired slave is a completely insignificant value. Entrepreneurs all over the world understand that if the personality of his hired slave is limited by the desire for beer and football, then such a proletarian will always be sure that the owner pays him fairly.
The market existence has transformed, if not disfigured, the social consciousness of the masters and their employees to such an extent that it has created an atrophy of most of their personality. After all, physiologists and the practice of life have proven that in a person, over time, any part of the body, any area of the nervous system, atrophies if they are not loaded with functions for a long time. Such is the fate of the most important human complex itself, which in the works of psychologists and sociologists is called the human personality.
What capitalism does to the person, first of all, the person of wage labor, was convincingly described by Lord Churchill in his book "The World Crisis". After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on the division of the German colonies between England and France, Churchill wrote:
"for almost six months, on average, about 10 thousand people left the military service every day. This huge number of people, equal to one peacetime division, was collected daily on all fronts of the war, brought to ships, taken from trains, their weapons and equipment were taken from them, demobilized, they were paid off and dismissed to their homes in the interval between sunrise and sunset. I believe that this was a strong proof of British organizational ability. Armies were built gradually; soldiers were enlisted in single file; but they were dissolved at once, in huge masses, and, nevertheless, almost all found work and returned to their families. The story proudly tells how 20-30 thousand "iron soldiers" of Cromwell laid down their military armor and returned to peaceful pursuits. But how can this be compared to the dignified conduct of the nearly 4 million British soldiers who, without any confusion or excitement - if only they were treated as they deserved - quietly poured back into the mass of the people and again began to restore the thread of their lives that had been interrupted? After being methodically instilled with brutality and barbarism during the five years of the war, it was expected that murder, looting, brutality and violence would flourish in the country for several years. But thanks to the power of civilization and education and the great qualities of our people, the opposite happened: the number of violent crimes decreased, and prisons had to be closed and sold for scrap, when 4 million trained and skilled murderers, or one third of the entire male population of the nation, returned home and became civilians, citizens of their country."
The funny thing is that this idyllic picture of sheep's resignation is preceded by several pages describing more than 30 cases of riots that arose and were suppressed in the British army during these weeks, about the arrested instigators, etc.
Only the mass atrophy of the individual in the conditions of the market can explain the fact that when the entrepreneurs of the world needed not workers, but soldiers, as Churchill frankly writes, easily trained killers, they easily managed to drive millions of proletarians of mental and physical labor into the trenches and turn them into cannon fodder, not identifiable, minced meat. The corporal's whistle was enough to send these impersonal masses rushing at each other with bayonets at the ready for the purpose of killing, while suppressing with prayer the bitterness and fear of their own possible death.
This behavior of the masses can only be explained by the fact that during the decades of the previous market existence, the proletarians of mental and physical labor formed a worldview even much narrower than that of the nobles of the era of mass dueling, when their own life, due to its emptiness, was of no value to a person. The long-term functioning of an individual in a system of rigid and narrow specialization of monotonous tedious work, and there is no other in a market economy, excludes the formation in his mind of any strategic values, creative plans, etc. specific personal orientations. They, for the most part, did not understand that without all this, the life of a person loses its essential difference from the stay of an animal in a herd. A sheep simply exists, and the "meaning" of its life is not much different from the meaning of the life of a bacterium.
Moreover, numerous cases of deaths of representatives of the ruling class in the course of their extreme air, automobile, alcohol and drug "entertainment", prove that they do not have adequate ideas about the real value of life. Most often, when solving the dilemma: life or capital, entrepreneurs prefer money, a killer's bullet, a prison cell, but not life, because the modern bourgeoisie, for the most part, does not think of life outside the monetary dimension.
It is not difficult to model the direction of a person's thoughts in a society in which the standard of everyday, especially "movie", well-being is the samples of the life of the Arab oil sheikhs, especially for individuals born and raised, for example, in the family of a turner, a car assembler or a farmer. The proletarian child, formed in a democratic market country, always dreams of eating, drinking, and fooling around like an oligarch or a sheikh. And, with modern family education, he has something to hang himself from, because by the age of 40, he comes to a full understanding that the American miracle with him, as with hundreds of millions of other proletarians of mental and physical labor, as with the middle-class class, simply did not happen and will not happen anymore.
But it is not so far from the time when humanity is clearly aware of the idiocy of that part of its history, when the lords for centuries managed to send to the slaughterhouse not only millions of flocks of sheep, but also millions of flocks of bipedal upright mammals.
The senselessness of such behavior, of all the military exploits of the era of the rule of private property, became more apparent after the soldiers of the victorious countries, returning home, became, simply... unemployed and homeless. But this evidence did not arouse any reaction in the majority of the proletarian masses. This is how far the market existence leads consciousness into a stall. Many former American soldiers today, returning from Iraq or Afghanistan, Libya or Ukraine, meekly stand in queues for charity soup or die on the warm manhole of the American sewer. In the developed capitalist countries, this course of events accompanies every war, and every time people brought up by the market life do not see anything illogical in this.
Russian Russian proletariat, which was the first in the world to realize the idiocy of this state of affairs and to throw off from its shoulders not only the power of the main scapegoat, the tsar, but also the provocateurs of the participation of the Russian peasants and proletarians in the First World War, i.e., its bourgeoisie, which also dreamed of becoming completely European, i.e. imperialist, in the full sense of the word, on the bones of the Russian workers and peasants.
Many vulgarizers still think that the whole theory of market economy, marketing, management theory, and econometrics are aimed at harmonizing market relations, and not at teaching EVERY entrepreneur the art of cheating and robbing the weakest. Present, for example, at a group lesson in marketing, modern students do not notice that they are studying the "science" of how they themselves, outside the walls of the institute, should be fooled, cheated and weighed down... each other, but so that all of them... didn't notice it. The winner, of course, is the most arrogant, especially diligently memorized the principles of cheating, for example, Dale Carnegie.
In the Soviet economic literature, published with the blessing of the CPSU, since the time of Khrushchev, of course, the words about the predatory nature of capitalism were present, but they were presented so indiscriminately, deliberately scientific, like a prayer over the deceased, when the priest himself is sure that no resurrection will happen.
The topic of market competition was considered very primitively in the Soviet economic literature. Nor has the Soviet literature adequately reflected the fact that it is only through the extermination of businessmen by businessmen that capitalism makes its most significant leaps in the concentration, centralization of local and world wealth and, consequently, the monopolization of the market by a narrow circle of people who fit into the list of Forbes magazine and have a personal relationship to the emergence of all crises, local and world wars. Especially specifically, thousands of entrepreneurs from the post-Soviet republics who have ordered each other have learned this in their own skin, among which, for example, Khodorkovsky, Gusinsky, Karasev turned out to be the funniest, and Berezovsky and Patarkatsishvili were somewhat more tragic. From their university lectures, they all learned something about competition for the political economy exam as an innocent competition for product quality, but they didn't think about what monsters of mutual destruction they would all be reborn into when the stakes rose to billions.
In all cases when Lenin's work on imperialism as the highest stage of capitalism was cited, it was overlooked that this book was written by Lenin in the conditions of bourgeois glasnost and, consequently, in the language of a slave, as Lenin himself said in such cases. In assessing the capitalism of the imperialist era, an additional "translation" of Lenin's work from Rabye into uncompromisingly scientific language was required, but this did not happen. Soviet economists considered it a great achievement to be able to reproduce the five signs of imperialism by heart in a lecture as the greatest wisdom, and they did not understand at all that future intellectuals needed to chew convincingly, especially on the experience of the Second World War, that capitalism, having reached the monopolistic stage, ceased to differ from slave-owning or feudal imperialism, and therefore fascism in practice and talk about democracy for fools were formed throughout Europe in the 1920s.
Due to the theoretical and propagandistic weakness of party academics, the vast majority of ordinary social scientists and members of the CPSU, in their hearts, laughed at the thesis of decaying capitalism, and, in fact, believed that the growth in the number of 300 kilogram Americans and a fleet of passenger cars with an abundance of nickel-plated gadgets, films about Rambo and terminators, casinos and McDonalds, "huge" unemployment benefits are absolute proof of the prosperity of capitalism, and not its decay. Raisa Maksimovna and her Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachevs were especially convinced of this. By the time of the heyday of Andropovism, there were practically no social scientists left in the CPSU with a holistic, deep understanding of the theory of Marxism, especially its subtleties on the question of the decay of imperialism. As perestroika showed, they were ready to rot themselves.
After Stalin, the party formation of the party reserve in the USSR increasingly broke away from political practice, and the discussion of complex socio-political problems did not go beyond a narrow circle of people endowed with great formal power, but who did not have a serious Marxist self-education and, consequently, scientific authority. The development of Marxist theory in universities, including the "humanitarian" orientation, in the era of Khrushchev was reduced to formal memorization of simplified schemes, mainly in retrospect.
Therefore, most of the Soviet economists who received their education during the "thaw" did not know that Marx had published his study entitled "Capital, a Critique of Political Economy" in several separate volumes and books only because the volume of the study exceeded ALL the theoretical works devoted to one problem in the entire history of mankind. It is impossible to understand anything in the third volume of Capital without mastering the first volume. Most Soviet social scientists did not understand that, technically, it was impossible to combine the entire work of Marx with a single "bible", so that even the most stupid theorist would understand: the essence of real capital is disguised by the bourgeoisie in such a Templar way that it can only be understood by studying all six volumes as a single and inseparable DEFINITION of the reactionary essence of capital.
The collapse of the CPSU proved in practice that its academicians did not understand Marx because they were COMPLETELY ignorant of the diamatics, in particular, of the methodology of the ascent from the scientific abstractions of the first volume, surplus value, in which even the capitalist, according to Marx, uses only the instrument of " wages "(i.e., paying only the cost of the consumer basket of the unassuming proletarian), to profit, as a form of the real" common stock " of all capitalists, which is described only in the third volume.
From volume to volume, revealing the essence of capital, Marx goes back to the specifics of the capitalist form of plundering not only the proletarians, but also all "consumers", i.e., the capitalists themselves through the mechanism of speculative monopolistic pricing, inflation, artificial bankruptcies, etc. There is no doubt that if Marx had written, as he planned, all six volumes of his CRITIQUE of political economy, then perhaps the leaders of the CPSU would have been more convincing and offensive in their criticism of the decaying capitalism of his day. But where death forced Marx to put a comma, the propagandists of the CPSU put a bold dot and, due to intellectual laziness, could not awaken either in themselves or among the working class a deep understanding and a sense of sincere disgust for the commodity-money, capitalist, i.e., corrupt form of relations between people.
Many" scientists " of the CPSU, in the course of perestroika, "voucher", i.e., the plundering of Soviet public wealth, knew, but concealed from the people, that the "initial accumulation of capital" in Europe, the United States, and the democratic Russian Federation was and will be carried out at the expense of an unprecedented primitive PLUNDERING of the property of the USSR, belonging to ALL citizens of the Soviet Union, including infants, and it will go only to the creature of Chubais-Gaidar. Before this plundering, everything that both the book Koreiko and the real Khoroshilov and Vasilyeva did pales.
One does not need to have a gray matter in the cortex of the brain to think that private property is concentrated in the hands of the oligarchs without any conscious goal-oriented aggressive strategy on their part, but only by the magic action of objective economic laws, like a pike's command.
Today, the zone of influence of the Russian oligarchs is deliberately extended to South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea, and in the near future, to the size of the territory of the DPR and LPR. It is easy to see how much blood there is in the redistribution of the modern world between groups of oligarchs. The NATO countries have again set their eyes not only on Ukraine, but also on the whole of North Africa and West Asia. It is not difficult to understand how the North African and some Asian countries will weaken as a result of the civil wars unleashed there with American money, and how this senseless Arab revolt is used by the US oligarchs, while the German and French oligarchs are bogged down in the problems of digesting Eastern Europe and the influx of migrants.
All these facts prove that the main objective economic law of the accumulation of private property is the law of its violent rejection and preservation.
But the Marxist interpretation of this law differs fundamentally from that of Düring in that Düring did not seek objective reasons and prerequisites for SUCCESS in the forcible expropriation of other people's property. Duhring considered the violent expropriation of material values as a consequence of moral causes, without bothering to ask how the object about which the relations of violence are formed arises, while Marx proved that successful violent expropriation is possible only if the object of expropriation itself is present and, most importantly, the economic superiority of one of the competitors clinging to the same "bone".
The fact is that diamatics, unlike all other methodological schools, proceeds from the internal objective material causality of everything that happens in society, and all other methodological schools "dance", at best, from the statement of an external fact, and at worst, from the expression of the will of the subject, often of mythical origin, i.e., from the fact that it is not the case. god, and therefore they cannot master the simple truth that, before appropriating any value, it must first be produced, and, secondly, it will only be private if it can be protected from the encroachment of ALL other sufferers. And "non-attraction" is possible only if EACH producer has at his disposal all the necessary means of existence and development, or if a special organization is created, a STATE that stands guard over the very principle of private property, regardless of whether other individuals have the means of existence or are dying of hunger, that is, if a system is established in the person of completely purchased bodies and persons, i.e., the police, courts and prison authorities.
From the point of view of diamatics, this means that material values, before being appropriated by one, i.e., being alienated from all other entities, must exist in a ready-made form and "in excess" quantity, for example, in the form of land, fossil resources, or be produced. But without the relations of violence, the produced material wealth and spiritual values, in the form of private property of one particular person, cannot exist. Today, this is especially evident in connection, for example, with the adoption of copyright laws in the Russian Federation, which are defended by very real investigators and prison sentences.
Material and spiritual values, i.e. the means of human existence, arise outside the sphere of violence, but become private property to the extent that the economic basis of the system of violence is developed. It is no coincidence that the most private property-rich country in the world, the United States, has both the largest prisons in the world and the largest contingent of prisoners who, in one form or another, have tried to loot what has already been looted.
The idea of personal, egoistic consumption of surplus food, that is, the idea of private property, which first appeared in the consciousness of primitive man, immediately gave rise to the need for relations of violence. The relationship that existed under primitive communism between a thinking man and a senseless animal, i.e., the transformation of the meat of an animal belonging to an animal into food for the hunter, due to the lack of ideas about possible consequences (because one always wants what is best), was transferred to the relationship of man to man and to the products of his personal labor. But after the first act of violent robbery of a neighbor in the name of alienating his property and himself, in the name of multiplying the private property of the invader, the objective initial primacy of labor private property loses its monopoly, and a typical continuous diamatic spiral arises, in which the relations of private property generate violence, and violence gradually turns into the main means of centralization of the growing masses of the means of subsistence of ALL mankind in the hands of an ever-decreasing number of tyrants,, local and world wars in the name of satisfying the Midas syndrome.
Strictly speaking, the official economic thought of the CPSU gave rise to such herostrats as Kantorovich, Andropov, Abalkin, Aganbegyan, Gaidar, and Gorbachev because the textbooks emasculated the class essence and the diamatics of the economic laws of capitalism. Whether consciously or because of the stupidity of the official academics who were elected to these posts by vote, the chapters on the theory of violence from Anti-Düring were interpreted by them not as chapters on the dialectical-materialist theory of violence, but as chapters that ridiculed not so much the stupidity and subjectivism of Düring, but rather the role of violence in the emergence, multiplication and monopolization of private property on a global scale. Many intellectuals still find it somewhat uncomfortable to admit that private property and violence are inseparable concepts and realities in the history of mankind. As was often the case, the opportunists used the results of their superficial reading of Marx's writings to vulgarize Marxism.
However, the beauty of objective economic laws is precisely that they do not depend on the statements of outside observers, even in academic caps. Objective economic laws are real forms of relations, relations that capitalists are forced to enter into among themselves in order to remain capitalists in the conditions of increasing concentration of capital. They are forced to enter into a conscious relationship of competition with all capitalists, since ALL capitalists, regardless of their consciousness, reduce the purchasing power of the population with each successful sale and, consequently, as it were, prohibit the buyer from making a purchase from another capitalist.
But production and sales are inseparable parts of the capital cycle, and only the entrepreneur who has surpassed all other competitors wins in competition, first of all, in the degree of exploitation of HIS hired employees of mental and physical labor, starting with the loader and ending with technologists, marketers and managers. The entrepreneur, in any branch of the economy, if he is not able to maximize the relations of exploitation with the employees of HIS nation, is ultimately doomed to defeat in competition with the capitalists of other nations, who are able to milk more "last juices"out of their patriotic proletarians and managers. Of course, the mercilessly fleeced proletarians can organize strikes and even the seizure of enterprises, and the losing competitors can organize a contract murder, and the entrepreneurs of a colonial country can try to raise a national liberation uprising… But in order to neutralize all such actions of the oppressed, the UNLIMITED use of organized VIOLENCE, i.e., the state, is provided for.
Thus, the relations of private property, which give rise to relations of exchange, which, in turn, give rise to relations of deception and fraud, naturally develop into relations of the most brazen and boundless violence, especially on the part of the strongest.
In other words, the longer and more intensive the development of market relations towards capitalism and, consequently, monopolism, the more clearly the organic, objective, indissoluble link between private property and violence becomes apparent. Violence becomes the main condition for keeping the productive forces of society within the framework of private property relations.
Conversely, the longer a society functions within the framework of communist industrial relations, the more completely the remnants of the elements of an aggressive attitude towards one's neighbor die out in the minds of people. This is quite clear in the history of the USSR. Despite the bestial behavior of the proletarians of the capitalist countries during the outbreak of the Second World War, whose consciousness was determined by the market existence, part of the population of the USSR had to be convinced of the need to destroy the German proletarians who attacked the world's first country of the dictatorship of the working class.
And in 1991, the GKChP failed to force the depoliticized, i.e. declassified, forces of the KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Soviet Army to use weapons against the anti-communist rebels, i.e., as it became clear a little later, outright fascists. But the capitalist, clerical, nationalist forces, as soon as they tasted permissiveness, without hesitation, unleashed civil wars in the Caucasus and Transcaucasia, in Central Asia, in Moldova. And in the Baltic States, since there was little that could be seized and restored, there was simply a mass fascist movement to fight against monuments and aimlessly squeeze out foreigners from the region.
In 1993, when capitalism in the Russian Federation had already reached a sufficient degree of inveteracy, it did not hesitate, unlike the pampered "Gebists" of the USSR, to use machine guns in Ostankino, and tank guns in the center of Moscow, and then the entire army in Tajikistan, the Caucasus, and Moldova, where part of the population, especially local entrepreneurs, mullahs, believers, and Nazis wanted to take as much sovereignty as they could ... they wanted to. Today, there is a similar squabble around the "national" riches of Ukraine. The oligarchs of the leading countries of the world allocate money and more and more weapons, they are ready to spend any number of Ukrainian serfs for the sake of finding out the question of which of the world's oligarchs will own the "national" wealth of Ukraine. A similar scenario was recently tested in Armenia.
Therefore, while absolutely not idealizing or absolutizing the primitive communal communism that still exists, for example, among the Bushmen of Africa or the Indians in the wilds of Latin America, it should be noted that the male hunters of these tribes did not stoop to the relations of exchange, measurement and body kit of their tribesmen, but provide the products of hunting, the objects of existence to the entire tribe without the slightest signs of deception, and all male children perceive such an "economy" as the only reasonable one, preparing themselves not for a parasitic existence, but for debilitating, but the only wise function of the breadwinner for the ENTIRE tribe. But the women of such tribes are engaged in gathering in the interests of the ENTIRE tribe, moreover, according to modern archaeological data, the total contribution to the food of the tribe of women engaged in gathering is not less than that of hunters, but often more. Studies of the remains showed that roots, berries, mushrooms, and so on made up more than half of the diet of these people.
In modern tribes that use wooden and stone hunting tools, even children understand that of all the factors of nature surrounding them, SOCIETY itself is the main factor that relates constructively to each individual, making it possible for people to reproduce continuously. And this understanding has accompanied people for thousands of years, without generating antagonistic relations between members of tribes, and even more so, clans. Moreover, the society of the Bushmen does not bypass its mercy and those who do not have sufficient natural inclinations of the hunter. Some young Bushmen are not given accurate archery, some are not given stayer distances, but this does not make them despicable unemployed outcasts. Simply, the best hunter of the tribe knows that he is the best, and the objective role of the best breadwinner of the tribe, the consciousness that the tribe owes its existence to him in many ways, fully satisfies a person who is really intelligent and talented.
But, for example, in the modern Maasai tribes, where relations of private ownership of the means of subsistence have already been formed, there have also been relations of exchange, and zealous views on the proportions of exchange, and with them there have been sharp disagreements about this, especially about the size of the wedding kalym. Therefore, for the Maasai, not hunting tools are typical, but cold weapons, since the Maasai have long been animal breeders and, practically, do not hunt. Every Maasai, starting from adolescence, is armed with a mace and a dart, solely to find out whose proposals for the proportions of exchange are preferable. Along with the establishment of private ownership of livestock in the life of the Maasai, there is also the institution of systematic theft, and the means of neutralizing the owner of the robbed herd, as well as the means of protecting their cows from their own tribesmen.
Members of tribes that have gone even further in the development of private property relations and exchange with the help of money, for example, in Ethiopia, Yemen or Afghanistan, are already fully armed with firearms, ready to use them against any outsider and even a tribesman.
Thus, thanks to the relations of private property, primitive communism was transformed into a typical armed barbarism, and from there to bourgeois civilization, with its prisons, regular armies, organized crime, tax systems, protection and wars - just around the corner.
In the literature published under the control of the CPSU, one can find such a sweeping statement that the appearance of each new, more progressive formation was accompanied by the appearance of new forms of private property relations. The readers ' attention was not focused on the fact that these formations were only relatively progressive, while remaining EXPLOITATIVE, and it was with each new formation that the efficiency and magnitude of exploitation absolutely increased. The change of "awl to soap", i.e. This is explained by the fact that, each time, the private property of the exploiters remained more and more developed productive forces of society and, consequently, just the institution of private property, which was unchanged in principle, entered into an increasing confrontation with the growing social character of the productive forces, so the growth of antagonisms was a noticeable component of the history of the development of society on the basis of private property relations.
The slave system did not give way to the feudal system in connection with the victorious slave revolts. The replacement of slavery by feudalism occurred in the confrontation between the nascent class of feudal lords and the degenerate class of slaveholders. However, the feudal system collapsed already with the active participation in this process of significant peasant masses and other lower classes of feudal society. In the era of the replacement of capitalism by communism, the struggle unfolded with an unprecedented increase in the activity and role of the class of wage workers of physical and mental labor. Moreover, at times the illusion was created that the replacement of capitalism with socialism would occur as a result of the rapidly growing economic struggle of the industrial proletarians. Nevertheless, it is precisely the increase in the conscious participation of the proletarian masses in the direct struggle for their own political power that precludes the repetition of that historical "rule" when the class of direct producers shed blood during the "storming of the Bastille," so to speak, and a new exploiting class crept to power and... stole it.
Strictly speaking, social progress occurred in spite of the development of forms of private property relations, and it was NTP (scientific and technological progress) that formed everything necessary to negate such an anachronism as private ownership of the main means of production. To rigidly link the progress of mankind with forms of private property is like explaining the victory of the bourgeoisie over feudalism in France by replacing the low-productive axe of the feudal executioner with a highly automated democratic guillotine. There is no fundamental difference between feudal and capitalist property, for example, land. If the principle of private property is really given full, unrestricted freedom of expression, then in every country there will inevitably be a full-fledged Nazism, slavery, with its obligatory mutual "holocausts".
However, to the satisfaction of the Marxists, the objective nature of the development of the means of production, i.e., the development of the means of production. the steady increase in the automation of material and spiritual production, including in agriculture, changes the share and role of the personal advantages of owners, especially in industries that produce vital products, and the very limited purchasing power of the population, makes, time after time, meaningless exploitative talents of entrepreneurs, and therefore their business activity, generated by greed, leads only to overstocking the world market and generates economic crises that develop into local and world wars.
In other words, the automation of production, i.e., the radical change in the role of science in the production of material and intellectual products, the transformation of scientific and technical personnel into a decisive factor in the organization of production, makes the figure of the owner of the enterprise a completely unnecessary anachronism, just as in the Renaissance in Europe the noble and religious nobility became noticeably superfluous.
In the new historical conditions, when the figure of the oligarch is practically no different from the feudal lords, the Marxists only propose to rid the public, scientifically rich, richly automated material and spiritual production of a completely unnecessary, weak link in the system of production of material and intellectual goods, that is, from entrepreneurs, giving them a mental and physical socially useful feasible load. After all, the English realized that if the Queen of England is not allowed to do anything, then there is no harm from the monarchy. People still do not understand how much the world economy will benefit when the oligarchs are banned from playing on the stock exchange, but are allowed to play the fool ... at home.
Utopian socialists had to strain their imagination in order to justify the possibility of extremely comfortable relations between people in the conditions of the domination of manual low-productive, tedious, monotonous, uncreative work, in which, as a rule, a person has too little physical strength left to feel warm, friendly feelings for his neighbor. But, thanks to scientific progress, even modern capitalist technology makes it possible to significantly reduce the working day for all direct producers, to fundamentally reduce the intensity of labor in all professions, without exception, and, thus, to turn all types of labor into a kind of creativity. Even today's level of scientific development makes it possible to implement the principle of expanded reproduction of communist society: from each according to his abilities, to each everything necessary for development and, consequently, for happiness.
However, the capitalist mode of production is entirely subordinated to the production of profits for the oligarchs, i.e., zeros in their bank accounts due to the high intensity of unpaid labor of hired workers of mental and physical labor, the exhausting tension of which is due to the presence of a multi-million army of unemployed people breathing down the backs of those who are" lucky " to sell their labor. The formation of the prerequisites for universal happiness is not the concern of the capitalist. The more stable the army of the unemployed, i.e. the outcasts, the more steadily the profits of the oligarchs grow.
Thus, if we answer the question of what capitalism is, we must recognize that it is a socio-economic formation, which owes both the brilliance of the highest achievements of the material well-being of individual oligarchs, and the labor self-torture of wage slaves, first of all, to an unprecedented system of violence, an extremely low level of mental development of the majority of the population, as a result of which the source of income growth of the class of entrepreneurs is systematic deception and shortchanging of the class of subjugated direct producers of material and spiritual goods.
This is the stick of the capitalist way of life. And what is the carrot? In the minds of the vast majority of exploited people, there is a hope that if you work selflessly and save on everything, you can become an oligarch, or at least live better than your neighbor. Moreover, every year, ONE lucky person, for example, in the United States breaks the million-dollar "Jackpot", and each of the other 299,999,999 Americans are imbued with a firm belief that next year he will be lucky too. And this unrealized dream accompanies tens of generations of billions of wage slaves of capital around the world until their death.
About the most important thing in communism?
The study of the problems of building communism is partly facilitated by the fact that most advocates of capitalism and entrepreneurs themselves recognize that capitalism and communism are opposites. Therefore, it is enough for a theorist to make a list of the vices and virtues of capitalism, to subtract ALL the vices from this sum, and he will have a list of the prerequisites of communism by the time history begins to solve the problems of the first phase of communism, or, to use unscientific language, the problems of the era of socialism.
If capitalism is the highest stage of the development of competitive relations between people, i.e., the war of all against all, then communism can be nothing more than the highest stage of maximum humanity, peace, absolute spiritual comfort, creative romanticism. Of course, a person who has adapted to the market life will say that this can not be because it can never be. But we are not talking about pimples that will pop up in undesirable places and under communism, but about the fact that no one will have any motives or tools to consciously influence the individual in order to cause her undoubted harm. Conversely, each person will have a lot of motives and tools to improve society, i.e., the most important element of the environment in which a person can only become a Person.
If capitalism is a society of irreconcilable private interests, sick passions, then communism is a society of universal harmony, built on the basis of laws derived by science, confirmed by historical practice, including the laws of beauty.
It is quite obvious that the growing computerization of all aspects of society is one of the directions for the penetration of science into the smallest and most private moments of production and everyday life of billions of people already under capitalism. Hitherto unattainable accuracy and rigor, which is a prerequisite for the operation of computer technology, is an important prerequisite for the purification of market practice from the domination of errors, forgetfulness, secrecy, isolation and secret passions of subhumans.
All modern aviation and space systems function only because in them, the further away, the more designers get rid of the influence of the weaknesses of the human personality on the functioning of complex precision devices. Most modern aviation and space disasters are a manifestation of one or another side of the "human factor", most often, its venality. Thanks to computerization, systems that resist not only technical failures, but also fools and professional scammers are already developing today. We can only regret that today both active fools and patent scammers, worthy of the strictest computer accounting and restrictions, are represented by the figures of entrepreneurs. As Berezovsky said, there are no entrepreneurs who, to put it mildly, would not violate the laws.
Of course, in commodity-money relations, fraud will not be completely avoided, but capitalism, without knowing it, is working towards automating the accounting processes, identifying subjects and objects of management, filing another "branch" on which the market prosperity of the oligarchs rests. Ignorance in the field of diamatics does not allow the banker to understand that by fighting for the exclusion of fraud in his bank by his employees, the banker himself creates a precedent and forms the technical prerequisites that make fraud more and more difficult. Capitalism itself replaces easily bribed people with incorruptible machinery. By saving himself from the fraud of competitors and his own managers, our banker deprives himself of the opportunity to cheat. Another question is that, as long as there is an entrepreneur, there will be a struggle between, figuratively speaking, hackers and anti-hackers. But it is clear that as a result of this struggle, the compilers of real constructive programs will win. The slight superiority of the potential of creators over the potential of chronic consumers is the most general absolute law of human progress under the rule of private property. If the preponderance of the creators had been more substantial, then full communism would have been built immediately after the Late Neolithic. But the inventors of the wheel were few, and those who wanted to become shamans, priests, and pharaohs were the majority, because the overall progress was so slow.
The need of many modern branches of the economy for the most accurate operation of information and control systems that allow you to track and manage an increasing number of processes in the "online" mode is, in fact, the most important direction of the development of the productive forces of society, in which science, as predicted by Marx, turns into a direct productive force that gives all products and relations the minimum error values. That is why capitalism is the LAST phase of the history of subhumanity, because under capitalism everything was solved and is being solved by the "poke" method, on the basis of "maybe", by mass deception and bloody experiments on society itself.
And communism is the FIRST phase of human history proper, since it is free from the atavism of zero and minus quality of forecasting and programming of public life. Under communism, a person will be able to calculate the main parameters of his biography for decades to come, including the change of occupation, in order to save himself from the stupefying monotony and narrow professional cretinism.
In addition, the disinterested scientific feat of Marx and Engels in the study of the" anatomy and physiology " of capital, not to mention the reflection of the soul of capitalism in the works of Shakespeare, Dickens, Malo, Balzac, Zola, Dreiser, Korolenko, Andreev, Gorky, Jack London, John Perkins, Frank Partny, makes capitalism understandable in its most destructive, vile manifestations from both objective and subjective psychological points of view. All this knowledge makes it possible, without vulgarizing, without falling into utopias, to use the dialectical method of moving thought "from the contrary" and very contrary to the true, i.e., from the true to the true. to the contrary, creating a theoretical model of a society free from the main idiocy of capitalism - from the domination of manic misanthropy and, resulting from it, slavery, militarism and wars.
Those who are familiar with the diagrammatic interpretation of the law of negation of negation understand that the contrast between capitalism and communism is formed exclusively along the lines of FORMS, first of all, of production and economic RELATIONS between people. Objective, irrevocable natural laws, such as physics and mathematics, operate in the same way under capitalism and under communism. These are mathematicians, physicists, and lyricists, very often, arguing about the high or the dark, in fact, thinking about money, selling with more enthusiasm than geisha. Only objective laws act incorruptibly. Therefore, communism, while not denying the objective laws of the development of nature and society, denies only the unconsciously formed system of disgusting bourgeois relations between people and the handiwork of legal laws that have served only the sick interests of exploiting minorities throughout the past history of mankind.
Therefore, the diamatic understanding of the law of negation of negation presupposes not only the disappearance of the form, but also the continuity, for example, of the objective production base in the negation of the forms of relations generated by it. The negation of the obsolete form of production relations is, at the same time, bringing the form of production relations into line with the achieved state of the productive forces, and not replacing the form with formlessness, and not in the way that the actionists thought of themselves during the "Red Guard attack on capital": "the main thing is to declare nationalization, and there, even if the sun does not rise."
The fact is that form exists only as an inseparable attribute of matter. Each material content, in one way or another, is designed, each form is materially meaningful. The same content can take different forms. If there is matter, there is form. No matter , no form. A serious discrepancy in the depiction of the gods proves that no one has ever seen their form due to the impossibility of its non-material existence.
Only the material content generates a variety of successive forms, and the current form expresses, first of all, the essence of this particular content, formed into a specific object at a given period of history. The change of forms is an external expression of the main property of matter - infinite motion, hence internal change.
If the content is relatively unchanged, changing the form changes the object's essence. For example, a child's bicycle and a small artillery shell can be made from the same amount of steel. The first form will delight the child, since the essence of a child's bicycle is a "piece of happiness". The second form, given the same amount of steel, i.e., an artillery shell, will tear the child to shreds, since the essence of the shell, thanks to the form, is literally death.
Similarly, the same productive forces of society, if they function within the framework of market economic relations, necessarily lead to wars of all against all. The same productive forces, once within the framework of the communist relations of production, make the world inviolable. As soon as communism prevails in most of the countries with the largest reserves of resources, their predatory use will cease, environmental threats will disappear, and the opportunity for oligarchic despotists to start wars will disappear. That is why the classics of Marxism considered the problem of the liberation of peoples from capitalist oppression simultaneously in all countries as the best option for the successful construction of communism, in which the corrupting influence of market relations would be reduced to zero.
In the unconscious nature, the change of form occurs spontaneously, literally abruptly (especially by everyday standards), as a result of achieving a certain measure of quantitative changes in the content of the object, for example, a volcanic eruption or in the form of an anecdote about the "big bang".
A radical change in the forms of relations between people can occur only when a sufficient part of the population is sufficiently AWARE of the sufficiency of the changes that have occurred in the content of the real productive forces of society and begins the process of transforming the forms of relations, passing all the information about the need for such a transformation through consciousness.
In a society, the transition from one state to a qualitatively different one can last for several centuries. But the leap, when changing the forms of social structure, is not called the miniaturization of the time interval, not the process of movement from one state to another, but the final process, i.e., the achievement by society of a state that is QUALITATIVELY opposite, i.e. different in essence from its previous social content.
So, for example, the proletariat of mental and physical labor is a large part of the urban population, forcibly deprived of the means of subsistence by a minority of the urban population. The proletarian class is organized for a long period exclusively at the discretion of its employers, is endowed with productive functions, and has access to the means of subsistence and development in the quantity and quality that corresponds to the goals of the entrepreneur, and not of the proletarians. If an entrepreneur decides to produce GMOs, then the proletarians of mental and physical labor will both produce and eat this GMO. The TRADE UNION DOES NOT ADD ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT to this class of sellers of its labor force, since it organizes the" struggle " of the proletarians only to ensure that the number of skins that the entrepreneur pulls from them during the working day does not change, so that their product, labor force, sometimes lives up to retirement.
But the same direct producers of intellectual and material products, as soon as they acquire their own vanguard, armed with a scientific worldview, and if the hired workers recognize the leading role of this vanguard, and the vanguard does not beg for respect from the proletarians, but proves its competence and practicality by deeds, such a social stratum ceases to be a class of wage slaves and turns into a struggling and winning working class, guaranteeing all the necessary conditions for the full development of the constructive inclinations of EACH individual.
Thus, if we do not think about the time for which the leap should take place, but fully concern ourselves with the quality of the personnel of the vanguard of the working class, then the time for the transformation of capitalist society into a communist one will be optimal for specific historical conditions.
Of course, not only Marxists and conscious workers are consistent adherents and fighters for communism, but the average person, in principle, does not mind jumping from capitalist society to READY-MADE communism in one day, without changing anything in himself. The peculiarity of the layman is that in both mental and physical labor, he shows shock only in proportion to the blows of the stick or the degree of fear of starvation. The layman does not see himself in the context of the social division of labor, he does not think of himself as a social being, but only as an individual. The average person has no predilection for any kind of work, especially for mental work. He even writes his dissertation solely for the sake of raising his salary. Independent scientific search does not give him the slightest satisfaction, and for this reason alone, conscientious scientific search is not available to the layman. As practice has shown, the average person prefers to take a risk and buy a ready-made dissertation, rather than strain and develop their own brains, and even more so to really move science forward. The layman is so limited in outlook that he is able to work hard only for a particular owner, only under his control, including under the control of the ruble, under the fear of starvation, like a slave on galleys, and only if the owner motivates him with a stimulus, i.e., in translation from ancient Greek, with a stick. The average person dreams, first of all, of such a sum of money that would allow him to get rid of any labor. This is perfectly proved by all the world experience of the "rentier" layer, the experience of the behavior of the majority of philistines who received a relatively large inheritance. Of course, some ordinary people manage to get on the Forbes list, but this is a tiny exception to the rule.
Ready-made communism, of course, attracts ordinary people, because it seems to them a system in which you can not get out of shops and restaurants, without paying for anything. From the prospect of coming to the store and taking everything indiscriminately, the layman usually takes his breath away. But the worst thing for the average person, who is used to the pogroms in the shops of the West, is that he is sure that other ordinary people, snatching up free products, will not leave him anything. That is why in the market-developed democratic countries of the world, in which the majority of the population is made up of ordinary people, every time the alarm system was turned off in supermarkets and bank branches due to power outages, the masses of ordinary people fell out on the streets and subjected shops and bank branches to pogroms and looting, demonstrating what dreams, in reality, the Western man in the street lives.
Socialism in the U.S.S.R. lost out to world capitalism precisely when the educated and settled Soviet philistines, especially among the artistic and technical elite, gained, thanks to Andropov, access to American radio stations, and under Gorbachev and Yakovlev, a monopoly in the Soviet information space. As the saying goes ," and then they popped out." Several absurd ideas of mercantile, religious, and nationalistic content were loaded into the minds of many Soviet citizens by the family upbringing of kurkuls and dissidents. Therefore, when philistine ideas began to be voiced in foreign and Yakovlev media, the illusion of them was formed in the minds of ordinary people... genius. It seemed to them that it was not the media that brainwashed the philistines, but that every philistine was the bearer of extremely valuable, congenial ideas born of his own consciousness, and, moreover, incredibly understandable and recognized by the widest circle of Western experts, prominent Soviet journalists, such as Korotich, and fiction writers, such as Solzhenitsyn, in contrast to the abstruse, incomprehensible dialectic of Hegel, which the philistines did not understand at all, but crammed in order to recite the contents of a chapter from a textbook, which was poorly understood by the teachers themselves.
As soon as the townsfolk discovered this area "genius for an hour", they rushed to overthrow socialism, without having the slightest idea of the plans of their leaders on the day after the victory, not to mention their plans for the next decade. With faith in God, in the national superiority of all their nations over all other nations, with faith in the invisible hand of the market and in fair elections, the masses of actual suicides overthrew the system of reliable social guarantees for every individual in all the republics of the USSR. The situation was similar to that, as if the majority of the country's population was interested not so much in the construction of structures, but in the ingeniously thought-out and organized mass demolition of structures by the method of directed explosion, and only professional sappers were elected to parliaments.
The significant role of the subjective factor in political coups is clearly visible both in the example of the bourgeois revolutions in England and France, and in the example of recent senseless political coups, for example, in Yugoslavia, Kyrgyzstan, Syria, Libya, and Ukraine.
The fact is that the burghers spend most of their lives in a state of dissatisfaction, envy of the more successful inhabitants, so it is easy to provoke this mass to riot and pogroms, pointing out the false reason for their dissatisfaction. Believing in the idea of a "scapegoat", the slaughter of which "opens up" bright prospects for them, flavored with flattering religious or nationalist demagogy, the townsfolk gather in front of the Bastille, in Tahrir, on Bolotnaya Square or on the Maidan... they're making a coup. Whether the "idea" guiding them is formulated extremely abstractly (freedom, equality, fraternity) or concretely (moskal on gilyak), or "exalted" (death to the infidels), in any case, this cry for a while turns into a password that unites ordinary people and young people to solve the simplest destructive task: overthrowing someone for the sake of... someone.
But Marxism does not consider the technology of a political revolution for the sake of changing someone, but a change in the forms of social relations dictated by the maturity of objective prerequisites. As the history of the formation of capitalism shows, at first, without coming into conflict with the prevailing feudal relations, regularly paying taxes to the feudal lords, urban workshops and manufactories spontaneously and slowly turn into the main form of organization and development of the productive forces. But, gradually, on this economic basis, Protestantism emerged as the ideological and organizational basis for the abolition of the biblical statement that all power is from God. Gradually, not only usurers, but also ordinary artisans, although in different ways, begin to understand that, in these concrete historical conditions, all power flows... from money, not from God, but the tales of God, heaven, and hell continue to help exploit suckers. The separation of secular power from the mystical husk led to the replacement of the semi-slave form of production relations of feudalism with commodity-money relations, while maintaining, however, the feudal form of private property relations on the basis of blood.
The diagrammatic doctrine of opposites leads to the conclusion that in all economic formations based on private property, at first, the objective prerequisites for the negation of the former form of production relations are spontaneously formed, and only in hindsight do these changes receive an ideological justification or justification.
But in the period of the formation of the communist formation, the subjective factor becomes absolutely important, since under communism, not only the material and technical base must be transferred to a scientific basis, but, for the first time in the history of mankind, the entire social consciousness of each individual, i.e., the theory of CONSCIOUS scientifically based management of the processes occurring in the basis, must be created and assimilated by the party before the establishment of the dictatorship of the working class.
Meanwhile, in the modern communist movement, this particular line of work is completely corralled. In modern leftist circles, the prevailing view is that the most important and most difficult thing to take political power into your own hands, as they say, is to settle in the Kremlin. What Lenin taught was forgotten. To overthrow the political power of the tsar and the bourgeoisie is an immeasurably simpler task than to build a system of communist relations in a petty-bourgeois country, and everyone should take this into account. The Soviet Union collapsed not during the invasion of foreign interventionists invited by the leaders of the White Guard, not during the invasion of world fascism, fed on the money of the US oligarchs, but 72 years after the political coup of October 1917, at the first congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, at which the entire leadership of the CPSU demonstrated its incompetence, complete inability to lead the construction of communism in the country.
The process of formation of communist relations differs from all previous historical cases of changes in the forms of social relations in that all these changes can occur only with the PRIMACY of the scientific approach. Communism is a form of denial of cave thinking, when humanity has not yet built dwellings, but occupied ready-made caves, taking for granted the "layout" that nature itself has already implemented. Communism will be built when the unsuccessful struggle of capitalism for the quality of governance brings society to the realization that the atavisms of private bourgeois property are incompatible even with forecasting and regulation, not to mention long-term planning.
The world scientific community is gradually beginning to realize that the main objective prerequisites for the exclusion of a destructive and incompetent master figure from the system of reproduction of society according to the laws of happiness have already matured. Hence, the consciously maintained proportionality, i.e., the planned nature of the material reproduction of society, and not just of the means of subsistence, can and should become the leading element of culture, and the world dictatorship of the Russian "maybe" will forever and everywhere be replaced by a universal understanding of objective necessity, an all-pervading scientific calculation, more accurate than modern space ballistics.
Once the broad circles of the intelligentsia realize this, it will not be difficult to bring this clear idea to the consciousness of the majority of modern proletarians, and economic capitalist calculation will everywhere be replaced by scientific calculation, since even today, under capitalism, technology does not put the illiterate owner and his offspring at the forefront, but the scientist, technologist and inventor. They will sooner or later understand that it is extremely shameful for a scientist, a certified person to serve the master.
Having freed themselves from the power of the master, scientists and designers will save themselves from the servile situation, when the fear of starvation forces them to participate in the further development, for example, of means of destroying all mankind in the name of realizing the absolutely sick interests of the oligarchs. The same scientific and technical discovery, for example, atomic energy, was used for the first time under capitalism and was necessarily used in the bomb, and communism was the first to create a nuclear power plant. Capitalism was the first to fly a combat jet into the sky, and communism, which was in the first, primitive phase of its development, was the world's first jet passenger plane. Capitalism was the first to launch a military ballistic missile, and socialism was the first artificial satellite of the Earth in the history of mankind, etc. In just twenty years after the war, socialism has proved its exact opposite in the use of the products of scientific and technological progress and the development of material production in relation to capitalism. And if it were not for the growth of the population of two-legged stomachs within the Central Committee of the CPSU itself, it is clear that socialism would prove not only its opposite, but also its superiority in ALL areas of human existence.
In society, the law of negation operates on the historical material-technical and scientific-theoretical basis that was formed spontaneously on the basis of capitalist relations. This is the creative charm of communism, that it is able to make ALL PEOPLE happy and harmonious on the same material and technical basis achieved by capitalism, which makes people corrupt, i.e. prostitutes, competitors, suicides, alcoholics.
Realizing this, fleeing from Russia, Denikin, in order to slow down the construction of a society of universal happiness on Earth, ordered the White Guards and the Cossacks to leave the scorched earth behind them. The same technique was used by Hitler, destroying 7,000 cities of the USSR and about 70,000 villages, especially during the flight. But there are idiots who pretend that they do not understand where some of the difficulties and delays of the USSR in solving some purely domestic issues came from, such as the quality of toilet paper, a narrow choice of gum, while all the oligarchs of the entire civilized world already chewed gum, and did not wipe themselves with newspapers.
One of the main claims to communism on the part of the serfs of the oligarchy is that communism is supposedly based on the herd and levels the individual. In fact, it is enough to ask the question, what levels people more: the capitalist conveyor belt with its at least 8 hour working day, or the communist, fully automated production, with 2-3 hour working day?
It was capitalism that invented and implemented the factory horn, which, drowning out the ringing of church bells, extracted from the musty factory barracks the gloomy columns of millions of proletarians, who crawled like ants to the machine tools to perform a primitive, labor-intensive, monotonous, stupefying operation for 12 or, as today, at least 8 hours a day. And if we take into account the many millions of FORCED unemployed and, consequently, the complete inaccessibility for them of any form of personal development, if we add to them prostitutes, persons held in prisons, the unfortunate, forced to serve in the bourgeois mercenary army and police, farmers and their children, it is clear that the bourgeois personal diversity is more primitive than the English short-cropped lawn.
They can tell you where you saw a 2-3-hour working day. You can answer, and where did you see communism built? Did not world capitalism make every effort, did not pay for the Sisyphean labor of all sorts of Solzhenitsyns, in order to prevent the construction of communism in the USSR and, thereby, reduce the duration of working time in non-creative types of production, to a maximum of 3 hours?
Under capitalism, regardless of the degree of automation of production, the lengthening of the working day for all categories of employees is the law of increasing the economic efficiency of capital. Everyone knows that in Japan and the United States, labor productivity is higher than in Russia or Brazil, but the length of the working day is the same, and in medium - sized businesses-higher, and in small businesses, the intensity of labor, i.e. the degree of self-torture, is generally a form of suicide. The more hours an entrepreneur forces his hired worker to work FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF SALARY, the more advantages this entrepreneur will have over his competitor.
Under communism, the reduction of the time of routine, monotonous, tedious, harmful work is an objective condition for a long healthy life of a person, the development of his personal inclinations and talents. Prolonged tedious monotonous work is an effective condition for the destruction of the creatively versatile personality in the individual and its early physical and social degradation.
Communism will be built when the system of education, upbringing and working conditions fills the consciousness of all people with a scientific worldview and permanently removes from the public consciousness the elements of market and religious herd behavior. Under communism, an adult will never act like everyone else, that is, like everyone else. he will no longer be able to blindly copy anything for anyone, especially for all sorts of psaks, posners or illiterate rock zemfirs, because it is communism that is guided by the objective absolute law of the development of society: the creation of all the necessary conditions for the maximum development of individual abilities of EACH individual.
At the time of Lenin and Stalin, most citizens already saw the prospect of becoming a country of heroes, a country of dreamers, a country of scientists, and enthusiastically worked for this goal in the name of their own happiness and the happiness of future generations. Those who were irritated by the prospect of being left without lackeys and hired slaves went under the banners of Kolchak, Denikin, Savinkov to kill their former but rebellious slaves, or sailed in crowded steamers to the West, where there was still room for both masters and born lackeys of the spirit. The remaining supporters of feudalism and capitalism were only forced to do what the grandees themselves had been forcing Russian peasants and artisans to do for hundreds of years during the construction of palaces for the grandees, during the construction of St. Petersburg, Sevastopol, the Nikolaev railway, and the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Modern democrats, on the other hand, portray the matter as if there was something unbearable and shameful in these works, that former priests, tsarist officials, merchants and nobles could not be loaded with the work that they have been loading the Russian peasant with all their history.
The world's material wealth, created at the cost of the suffering of many generations of people, makes it possible already under capitalism to fundamentally displace the slum form of poverty and spiritual squalor of the bulk of the world's population, typical of the era of classical capitalism. Nevertheless, despite the sufficiently developed production base, accumulated resources, market conditions of life were and still are such that capitalism has held and still holds the first place, in comparison with socialism, for example, in the number of hungry, suicidal, raped, divorced couples, street children, drug addicts and alcoholics, the mentally ill and arrested per capita.
Communism, on the other hand, will make it possible to exclude ANY form of material misery from the life of peoples, since it excludes intellectual misery and, consequently, idiotic, first of all, military needs that exude the resources of the planet. In other words, from the materialist point of view, the means of production created by capitalism, already at the industrial stage of its development, allow all forms of human consumption to be carried out at the scientific level and exclude from the life of peoples not only poverty, but also, most importantly, competition and, resulting from it, wars waged to satisfy the absolutely senseless whims of the oligarch class in the growth of the number of zeros in their accounts.
Communism, by eliminating private ownership of the main means of production, thus, in a simple and easy way, frees society from oligarchism, as a vestige of the institution of absolutism, and the oligarchs themselves turn into normal citizens, deprived of the opportunity to buy power and other democratic institutions. But the most important thing is that the transformation of oligarchs into normal citizens with all civil rights and freedoms makes it impossible to start world and local wars at this very moment, since it was large private property that was the cause of all wars in the history of mankind, and oligarchic private property was the cause of two world wars and the approach of a full-scale third world war.
Having built communism, society ceases to spend cyclopean amounts of material and spiritual resources on the development and manufacture of means of mass destruction of people.
Figuratively speaking, the world is worth the Mass.
Thus, if capitalism is a society in which shameless, cynical, all - encompassing deception is a condition for successful competition, which necessarily develops into mass slaughter, then in a communist primitive society, people did not deceive EACH OTHER for thousands of years, did not weigh, did not measure, did not cheat their neighbors, not only because everyone was well-educated and naturally intelligent, i.e. they had not yet read the Bible and were not tormented by the preparation for the Unified State Exam, but also because there was no reason or reason, no tools for mutual cheating. The people of the recent communist past became so fond of Miklukho-Maklay that he lived happily among them for several years, completely unlike life in tsarist Russia among stupid nobles and even more stupid serfs. That is why the image of Dersu Uzal, a man not spoiled by the stupidities of civilization, is especially touching and humanly rich in Arsenyev's memory.

It may be said that people of the era of primitive communism are frivolously called smart people, because they did not use smartphones. Well, what to call the generation of people who invented it... human speech, i.e. the information field itself, the noosphere, and those who made the automatically returned aircraft, the boomerang? In civilized Europe, warriors often had the problem of using up arrows. The Australian aborigine, in case of hitting the target, was left with the prey, in case of a miss, the hunting tool itself returned to the hunter. Stupid? Is it possible to call a smart generation of people who allowed themselves to create an atomic bomb and learned to plunge the world into systematic crises and wars? Today, the prevailing position is that a huge mass of people have diplomas, but do not have reason and think as poorly as, for example, Psaki, Shenderovich and Christine Lagarde, whose existence the majority of the world's population does not even suspect, but is greatly inconvenienced by its financial illiteracy and human immorality.
But why is it so easy to make modern people live from crisis to crisis, from war to war, in the belief that, for the survivors, each of these shocks is the last? What gives them the illusion of well-being?
As you know, illusionists need special props to guarantee the deception of the audience, who are delighted with how technically they were made a fool of. Capitalists, in order to create the illusion of justice, for example, when paying wages, need money as a prop, creating a complete illusion of fair calculation. The most ingenious trick that sellers have shown to chronic shopaholics for several hundred years is that the product owners themselves, in front of an astonished public, raise prices, and the buyers are immersed in a persistent illusion and believe that prices are rising as a result of inflation. People still do not understand that, if at the dawn of commodity circulation money, in the form of gold and silver bars, sometimes acted as a universal equivalent and did not provoke commodity owners to violate the law of value, then, under capitalism, paper money turns into an INSTRUMENT of unilateral mass systematic short-selling, deception, deceit of a billion-dollar army of buyers. Try it, deny yourself the pleasure and do not take the opportunity to rob the wallets of billions of uneducated people who have denied themselves the right to study Marx's theory.
Therefore, communism offers humanity, in the end, to consciously and decisively get rid of the main tool of modern fraudsters - money. Although, it is easy to imagine what feelings will arise, for example, from card sharps, from leading Forex scammers, from stock speculators, from all entrepreneurs who read the lines that the theory of communism proved the inevitability of the death of money, especially paper money.
Communism, having eliminated the main prop of the illusionist capitalists-money, will devalue the main talent of all entrepreneurs, will deprive them of the main, if not the only, pleasure: fooling, humiliating and oppressing their neighbors. It is clear that in a society in which everyone strives for mutual deception, not everyone succeeds, and therefore there is a very high degree of mutual discontent. Some are extremely annoyed if they failed to deceive society on the scale they wanted, while others are enraged when they realize the content and scale of their loss. On this basis, there are contract murders, domestic theft, organized banditry, mass pogroms with elements of vandalism and hysterical struggle in the manner of English, American and Ukrainian parliamentarism - the change of bourgeois parties at the helm of the enticement of the masses of the inhabitants, for even greater deception.
Therefore, given the tendency of the mass of modern philistines to mysticism and illusions, a comparison is acceptable in which capitalism differs from communism as hell from heaven. But then the question arises, why do some people prefer to live in a capitalist hell? For the same reason that devils prefer to live in hell rather than heaven.
Hell, according to the fairy tales, is just as pleasing to God as paradise. One is meaningless without the other. If there were only hell, there would be no need to keep God's commandments. You'll still go to hell. If there were only paradise, there would be no need to keep God's commandments. You'll still go to heaven. Only by complementing each other, fairy tales about heaven and hell give the inhabitants a sweet right to choose, turn into a real motivation for the most gullible parishioners, forever deceived investors, shareholders, shareholders and other weak-minded people. They are able, for example, to strenuously select a banker from the Forbes magazine list who they think is more honest than others, without wondering how this curiosity, an honest banker, is even possible. Why, for example, is Gref so sarcastic and pessimistic in his speeches at major forums? But because the size of the state participation in the work of Sberbank will not allow it to implement such an adventurous debit and credit policy, which can be decided by a small private bank. Gref, most often, is sad, melancholic and sarcastic because, being a player by nature, he is forced to restrain himself by the norms of his functions, control, and publicity of his position, while a private banker is guided only by a thirst for profit and ... will get into the media and Interpol lists, only when there is nothing left for depositors from deposits in his bank.
But, despite the fabulous stupidity, the idea of paradise is good because there are no devils in paradise and there are no means for carrying out their devilish activities, and therefore paradise for them is as uninteresting as kvass for a drug addict. Hell is a paradise for devils, because it involves merciless, unlimited mockery of people, their souls, as it happened, for example, during the Holy Inquisition, and today in the God-loving ISIS, without the slightest responsibility to anyone, especially to the almighty. After all, it is not that God created hell, but that in order to maintain the idea of "God", there must be a legion of sadists. All cauldrons and boiling pitch are harmless until God creates a special type of celestial beings whose function is to inventively, continuously, eternally, mercilessly abuse people, copied from the real slave-owning practices of the era of the creation of the Christian and Muslim religions.
In the model of heaven, unlike hell, it is provided that everyone is in bliss, because it is impossible to break the commandments there at all, because there is no form of private property, there are no donkeys and the neighbor's wife, there is no possibility to raise the price of manna from heaven. You will not kill anyone, since everyone is immortal, you will not steal, you will not covet, because, apart from singing hymns to God, no other entertainment is provided in the Christian paradise. In fact, the absence of problems is the attractive force that turns people's dream of getting to paradise into a strong enough motive, especially in a Muslim paradise, in which the heroes will be presented with 70 virgins, so that the hero can use them as a prize for cutting off many heads of the infidels, destroying Mosul, Palmyra, until, not yet... I stepped on an anti-tank mine, which, oddly enough, is a portal to paradise for the most gullible.
Thus, if we use the ancient children's folk religious tales as an illustration, we have to admit that the branch of hell on Earth is capitalism, and entrepreneurs perform the functions of devils at the will of God.
But those atheists who have understood Marx's teaching about production relations as the basis of socio-economic formations of the era of the domination of the UNSCIENTIFIC worldview, who have studied the real system of productive forces of modern society, the main trends in the development of material production and socio-demographic trends, know that modern monopolies, born of the market, create all the necessary conditions for the extinction of private ownership of the main means of production and, consequently, for the elimination of the commodity-money form of relations between people. the brilliant guesses of the utopian socialists about the possibility of ridding society of all forms of tyranny, the oppression of intelligent Man by bipedal, erect mammals, have acquired a historically mature and logically proven theoretical basis, which has turned the humanistic fantasies of individual thinkers of antiquity, their good wishes, and speculative constructions into a completely engineering project that requires people not so much the emotional impulse that underlay all pre-communist coups and revolutions, but exclusively strict scientific calculation.
Why, in all the pre-communist revolutions and coups, did the rebellious masses move from one form of exploitation to another, to an increasingly sophisticated and parasitic form of exploitation? Because in all pre-socialist formations, the number of illiterate, mentally undeveloped people was many times greater than the number of educated people. Therefore, by destroying the old forms of exploitation, the bulk of the uneducated population was plunged by the leaders into an even more perfect, exquisitely packaged form of exploitation.
But competition, i.e., the desire of educated capitalists to absorb the capital of equally educated capitalists, led to the fact that the owners were forced to spend money on increasing the scientific and information superiority of their staff over the staff of their competitors, both domestically and internationally. And this is how the majority of competitors and, consequently, almost all businessmen think, unwittingly, from concentrating their gravedigger in the person of the proletarian masses of physical labor, they also move on to forming significant masses of proletarians, although with narrowly professional, but often with the skills of realistic thinking. In this regard, mass deception will meet more and more difficulties in its path.
It's getting harder for marketers to cheat... marketers of their competitors. The increase in the degree of protection of the growing masses of the population from deception and self-deception, as mentioned earlier, is the objective condition that significantly facilitates the struggle for the construction of a communist society on a global scale. One of the consequences of this trend is a steady real decline in the degree of religiosity of the population of the most developed countries of Europe, where Catholic churches have never been closed in such numbers as today. True, this is not because of the good educational work of atheists, but because capitalism itself has put silver coins and information technology on a height that is inaccessible to God. There is not much left, and it is quite achievable: to fill the information channels and the consciousness of individuals with scientific content on all issues. For the Party of Scientific Centralism, this is quite a feasible task.
Therefore, if we briefly express the essence of the main task, the solution of which can lead to the construction of a society of universal happiness, then communism is a combination of the practice of social and individual development with a scientific theory that covers all areas of existence.
Instead of a conclusion.
Capitalism - a social structure that is possible only if the majority of the population DOES NOT POSSESS either a scientific methodology of thinking, or knowledge of all that is valuable, confirmed by socio-historical practice, that the scientists of the world have already developed about the objective laws of the development of nature and society. Only with the low mental development of the majority of the population, the exploited do not understand that they are not free and are deceived at every turn.
Communism - such a structure of society in which the main concern of society itself is, first of all, to fill the consciousness of EACH individual with knowledge of the objective laws of the development of nature and society and, consequently, the impossibility of any restrictions on the part of anyone in the free realization by EACH individual of all the constructive inclinations of his personality.

BC: Zakharchenko: A Hero Is Dead, And Bloody Flows the Don BC stands for NEO’s Banned Classic. This article was originally published by our journal on 04.09.18. For some reason, this article is missing from Google search results. Since this article remains pretty relevant to those geopolitical events that are taking place on the geopolitical stage today, we deem it possible to present it to our readers once again. Should it go missing again, you may be confident that you will see it republished by NEO once more, should it still remain relevant by that time. The cruel assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko, leader of the Donetsk Republic, in Donetsk on August 31 by elements of the Kiev regime’s forces backed by NATO, and the wounding of many others in the bomb blast that took his life, confirms what I wrote three years ago, that the Minsk 2 agreement signed in February 2015 to try to establish peace in Ukraine was a rotting corpse. Russia, ever more hopeful than I that reason and the desire for peace would prevail stuck to it nevertheless and consistently called for adherence to its terms despite facing obstruction at every turn. The murder of the leader of the Donetsk Republic confirms that not only has the corpse been rotting on the battle fields of the Donbass all this time, it is now picked apart by the carrion birds of prey that want war with the Donbass and with Russia and only its skeleton remains. It’s time to bury it. Some NATO members such as Germany paid lip service to the Minsk agreement and insisted it be complied with but always complaining that it was Russia that was not pushing the Donbass Republics to bend to NATO’s will. But in fact the Donbass Republics tried as they could to comply with the terms under very difficult circumstances and constants provocations, attacks and assassinations of its leadership. Poroshenko and his fascist allies instead refused to change the constitution as stipulated to accommodate the concerns of the Donbas republics, have tried to suppress the Communist Party and other parties in opposition, have refused to withdraw heavy weaponry from the line of contact, have maintained increasingly heavy artillery attacks on the civilian populations and areas and cut off routes for essential foodstuffs, medical aid and technical equipment. Rather than enjoying a ceasefire, the peoples of the Donbas are under a constant state of siege. Poroshenko, the NATO puppet leader of the Kiev government in Ukraine openly calls for a military solution to the crisis and has increased the draft in and recently reorganized the Ukraine armed forces command structures to make them more effective in a coming offensive. The US and Canada and other NATO countries have been pouring in arms and ammunition and “advisers” and “mercenaries” in support of the fascist forces, putting additional pressure on Russia with multiple military exercises from the Baltic to Bulgaria, where more tanks have been recently dispatched to “send Russia a message.” The reality of the situation was stated on the 18th of August 2015, when President Putin stated, “It was the Donbas militias that suggested withdrawing all military equipment with calibre under 100mm. Unfortunately, the opposite side didn’t do that. On the contrary, according to the available data, it is concentrating its units there, including those reinforced with military hardware. As for the Minsk-2 agreement, I believe there is no alternative for resolving the situation and that peace will prevail in the long run… Our task is to minimize the losses with which we will come to this peace.” There can be no doubt that the Minsk-2 agreements do provide the framework for a peaceful settlement of the impasse but there is also no doubt that the Kiev and NATO forces have no intention of abiding by its terms and are preparing for another offensive. Putin also stated, “I hope that it will not come to direct large scale clashes.” Yet, the people of the Donbas would be surprised to be told that the thousands of shells raining down on them from the Kiev junta’s artillery in order to provoke those clashes do not count as large scale attacks. Bu what is the purpose of this state of siege? Since the Donbas forces have proved their strength and resilience the Kiev regime has little hope of achieving the total destruction of those forces and imposing its will on the Donbas. Kiev and NATO also know that Russia does not want to be drawn into a direct clash with NATO that could lead to a general war. In consequence the Kiev-NATO axis have decided to engage in operations that have direct political repercussions designed to disrupt the Russian-Donbas alliance or to paralyze it and try to enlist new allies and it is noted that the western media immediately blamed Russia for the assassination to try to stir up trouble. At the same time they have decided to make the war more costly for the Donbas and Russia both in military and economic terms, and to try to bring about a gradual exhaustion of their physical and moral resistance. We see this strategy being played out with the constant increase of economic warfare against Russia, which is clearly the ultimate target, the increasing use of propaganda including the planting in the media of the most absurd stories about Russia and its government, the use of the OSCE observes as intelligence agents for NATO as happened in the Yugoslav war, and, in the political sphere, attempts by the United States and Britain to humiliate Russia; from the Olympics to the downing of flight MH17, the Skripal affair, and the fantasies about Russian influence on western “democracies.” Clausewitz said that “war is a pulsation of violence, variable in strength and therefore, variable in the speed with which it explodes and discharges it energy’ and that, “If we keep in mind that war springs from some political purpose, it is natural that the prime cause of its existence will remain the supreme consideration in conducting it.” Indeed we see in Ukraine the expression of the Anglo-American-German political purpose: the desire to force Russia to submit to their will. They failed in World War I. The attempt failed again in World War II. The so–called Cold War succeeded in bankrupting the socialist state but the capitalist state that rose from that sad decline is gathering its strength once again and refuses to submit to any one’s diktats. And so the NATO coup in Kiev, in order to take Ukraine away from Russian influence as the Nazis tried to do in World War II. But the Kiev-NATO cabal cannot break the will of the peoples of the Donbas nor of Russia and so the constant attacks, the constant propaganda, the constant turning of the economic screws. These actions are all illegal under international law and the laws of war. They are violations of the principles and articles of the UN Charter. They are violations of several Geneva Conventions and other international treaties. The attacks on civilians are war crimes. The use of prohibited weaponry, in these attacks, is a war crime. The collective punishment of entire populations is a war crime. The use of economic warfare is a war crime. Yet nothing is done by any western government to stop it nor does the International Criminal Court lay any charges where it can. Instead it stands by and condones these crimes by its inaction. Article 6 of the Rome Statute that created the ICC states the actions of the NATO-Kiev axis constitute acts of genocide. It states, “For the purpose of this Statute, “genocide” means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;” Article 7 states that, “crimes against humanity includes persecution of an identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic…grounds.” Article 7-2(b) states that, “the crime of extermination includes the intentional infliction of conditions of life, inter alia, the deprivation of access to food and medicine, calculated to bring about the destruction of part of a population.” Article 8 defining war crimes, states that, “it includes willful killing, willfully causing great suffering, extensive destruction of property not justified by military necessity, and carried out unlawfully and wantonly, intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population not taking part in hostilities, intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, attacking or bombarding by whatever means towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives, declaring that no quarter will be given, using weapons designed to inflict unnecessary suffering or are indiscriminate, and intentionally using starvation as a method of warfare.” The list goes on and is a compendium of the crimes being committed by the Kiev-NATO axis powers in Ukraine. The Russian Foreign Minister reacted to this act of NATO supported international terrorism, for one of the aims of the assassination is to terrorise the peoples of the Donbass, by stating, “It is a blatant provocation aimed at undermining the implementation of the Minsk Agreement in eastern Ukraine. Given the current situation, it’s impossible to talk about the nearest meetings in the Normandy format like many of our European partners would have wanted. It is a serious situation that must be analyzed. We are doing it right now.” But it is not just a “provocation” for in concert with the assassination the Kiev regime has begun troop movements near Donbass lines. It also seems to be a prelude to further military action. “After the terrorist act, we’ve registered the movements of troops along the Line of Contact,” said Eduard Basurin, a representative of the DPR Operations Command. “The Ukrainian forces were put on alert for combat training. “We think this is the eventual goal in terms of destabilizing the situation in the areas near the Line of Contact – something the Ukrainian and US secret services have hoped to gain. We don’t rule out an offensive at one of the sections of the line. They also hope to push the situation in the entire republic off the balance.” “This act of terror is aimed at destabilizing the situation in the republic and was carried out by Ukraine’s special services under the control of US special services. All military units have been put on the highest possible level of alert.” When the Minsk Agreements were signed in 2015 it was doubtful that the Kiev-NATO axis had any intention of using it except as a means of pausing their operations in order to reorganise and prepare for the next offensive and so it seems to be. The only way forward is to resolve the conflict at the political level on the basis of the recognition of the right to self-rule and autonomy for the Donbas republics, the creation of a federal state to assure ethnic stability, and the commitment by Ukraine that it will be a neutral state and not part of any plan to “contain” Russia, a plan that can only lead to world war. But the NATO puppets in charge of Ukraine do not act in the interests of Ukraine. They act in the interests of the masters of war who have no concern for humanity in general or Ukrainians in particular and if they continue their operations they will not succeed in uniting Ukraine but only in laying it waste. The assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko, a crime that should be condemned by the world, is a message from NATO to Russia, that instead of living in peace, as quietly flows the Don, to use the title of Sholokhov’s novel, the people of the Donbass can expect only more war, for a hero is dead, and bloody flows the Don.

PLEASE take time to read this important thread from David Rothkopf on the crisis we are facing as a nation in this particular moment in TIME. IT'S A HARD REALITY CHECK👇👇🤔😭😭😰🤢😡😡🤬🤬🤬
"I want to say I have never been more ashamed of US foreign policy than I am now. But I was during Bush's war in Iraq. And I was when Obama failed to take action to stop the slaughter in Syria. And I was when Clinton failed to stop the genocide in Rwanda." /1
I was during the chaos and squalor of Iran Contra. And I was during the ineptitude and weakness of our response to the Iranian hostage crisis. I certainly was during Vietnam. In fact, for all of my adult life, there've been moments when I was disgusted and embarrassed..." /2
"...by U.S. foreign policy. And candidly, watching the institutionalized racism and sexism and corruption of American domestic politics from the days of George Wallace and Lester Maddox to today, I've also felt the same revulsion from time to time." /3
"So, I ask myself, what makes this moment different. And I realize it is because throughout my life, even in those moments of realization that the United States was deeply flawed, I felt like there always was, at least someplace at least an aspiration to do right." /4
"There was always some awareness of right and wrong. There was at least a pretense of recognition that there was a higher purpose to the country and its government and throughout all those years, there was progress to offset the misdeeds and the profound flaws in our system."/5
"Obama may have faltered in Syria but he did so for understandable reasons and he did great good elsewhere and his character or his commitment to trying to do what was right was never questioned. There were those surrounding Bush and Cheney who struggled with their missteps." /6
"Bill Clinton was a deeply flawed man but he went into politics to try to make the world a better place, he devoted his life to service, he accomplished much to help promote peace and prosperity. The same could be said of Reagan, Carter, Ford, and even Nixon." /7
"It can't be said of Donald Trump and his inner circle. I look at what is going on in Syria today and I see a US that has switched sides. We are now an active part of the Axis of Evil. We are aligned with dictators and murderers and thieves and enemies of our own country." /8
"We have a president who defends those who attack us--like Russia--and goes further, he serves them. He defends murderers like Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia and sends him troops--or rents our military out to the highest bidder." /9
"He talks of love letters with brutal autocrats like Kim Jong Un. He embraces neo-fascists from Bolsonaro to Duterte. He joins with men like Putin in attacks on our Intelligence Community and our FBI. He and those close to him are so corrupt..." /10
"....that the vast army of people in the civil service, the Foreign Service, and others who have devoted their lives to serving our country feel compelled to put their careers at risk to help protect us from our own leaders." /11
" Trump and Pence and Pompeo and Barr and McConnell and McCarthy and Graham and Rubio and the rest piously speak of their devotion to the Bible and God and then spend each and every day revealing that they have a Bible-shaped hole in their characters." /12
"They invoke God not to make themselves or us better, to remind us of higher purpose or virtue, but to cover up their service to themselves, their corruption, their willingness to not just tolerate evil but to embrace it if it serves them and their masters and benefactors." /13
"Our nation has never been perfect. But it was created by men fully aware of our flaws and its greatness--like that of the Constitution that is its foundation--lies in its ability and commitment to perfect itself. Bad leaders were expected by our founders."
/14
"But it was always expected the rest of the system could hold them in check and remove them. We are at a juncture now when so much of the government is controlled by this corrupt, dangerous, valueless mob that it is no longer certain that the system will prevail."/15
"When the president has coopted the system of justice in conjunction with his attorney general, when the Senate is led by men who are willing to see the nation falter if they themselves prosper, when the courts are packed with no-nothings and toadies, we are in grave danger." /16
"It is inspiring to see a stirring of resistance among whistleblowers and leaders in the House of Representatives. It is a hopeful sign that some courts are trying to hold the lawlessness and the immorality in check. But it is far from clear they must prevail." /17

Felix Flax Psychological Processes Behind the Justification of Violence Dictatorships often led to tremendous violence against those whom said dictators deemed dangerous. This was a well known fact about dictatorships, but dictators could not commit acts of violence on a large scale, such as genocides, alone. The question, then, is what makes ordinary people willing to commit violence against others? The answer is uncovered by a variety of psychological and social developments that allowed people to develop a resistance against the instinct to avoid hurting others. When the flow of information was controlled by dictators, and the targets of violence people they viewed as immoral and bad for their country, overriding people’s disgust towards hurting these people that were viewed by society as less than human was easier. People could feel morally right to commit the violence involved in punishing those whose views differed from theirs due to their loyalty to the state or dictator.
            The first factor that drew people into committing to a dictator was a psychological phenomena known as groupthink. Groupthink was a not inherently bad phenomenon. It had evolutionary purposes. According to Psychology Today, a magazine that explains psychological concepts, “Groupthink occurs when a group values harmony and coherence over accurate analysis and critical evaluation. It causes individual members of the group to unquestioningly follow the word of the leader and it strongly discourages any disagreement with the consensus” (Groupthink Basics, Psychology Today). This was beneficial when human beings lived in tribes, where too much infighting could have led to death. In the modern world, however, groupthink was highly dangerous, because people were not analyzing their actions and ideas, and so they internalized ideologies that made justifying hurting others easier. For example, if a group was undergoing massive changes that are surprising, this can increase the mind’s need for order, making groupthink more likely to occur. This can occur at an individual level too. “It [The technique of psychological shock] may so confuse the mind of the individual citizen that he ceases to make his own evaluations and begins to lean passively on the opinions of others” (Joost Meerloo) When these opinions were ones that advocate revenge, then the individual risked betraying their own moral compass. An experiment on different types of propaganda by the Institute of Advanced Studies showed that “only the speeches that called for revenge and that referenced past atrocities led the participants to morally justify violence” (Richard Ashby Wilson and Christine Lillie). And while morally justifying violence in an abstract sense did not inherently cause harm, people living in situations where they wielded tremendous power over fellow citizens, such as the Cheka in Russia or the Gestapo in Germany, had actions that led to the torture and deaths of many.
Alongside the advocacy of revenge, dictators, once they had the sway of people who prefer staying out of conflict rather than having a unique opinion, had a variety of ways to get the ideas that their victims were worthless into their supporters’ heads. One of the most prominent forms of propaganda that elicited this effect was dehumanization. For example, “The Nazis were explicit about the status of their victims. They were Untermenschen — subhumans — and as such were excluded from the system of moral rights and obligations that bind humankind together. It's wrong to kill a person, but permissible to exterminate a rat. To the Nazis, all the Jews, Gypsies and others were rats: dangerous, disease-carrying rats.” (David Livingstone Smith,15) By making their victims into creatures that people were used to killing, Nazis lower the threshold for outrage at the crimes being committed by them. Indeed, most civilians see killing a rat to not be a crime but a necessity, with no regard to the fact that rats can feel pain as much as humans do. Violence against animals was far more justified in almost all societies than violence against fellow human beings, so by changing the very language one uses of a group to mean subhuman, there was an implied idea that nothing committed against a subhuman could be a crime. This could be because rats, unlike the majority of fellow human beings, elicit disgust. And, through the use of propaganda, dictators created a sense of disgust in their citizens towards those they see as undesirable. This can be seen in Hitler’s depictions of the thieving Jews, who in fact were even drawn to resemble rats, or Mussolini’s depiction of Ethiopian savages. The creation of disgust, along with anger, is important, because when one is disgusted by something, one “bur[ies] or burn[s] or convert[s] them into something [they] can live with” (Colin McGinn, 43). One does not imprison someone they are disgusted by, they dispose of them.
One of the underlying assumptions this paper has so far relied on is that human beings are inherently repulsed by violence. But are they? Are people following fascist movements reluctant to commit violence? There was a study done on college students, by Stanley Milgram, that explored whether people could be coerced by authorities to commit violence against others.He had a learner, who was really an actor, who had to answer questions, and if they didn't answer the subjects would be forced to shock them, at higher and higher voltages each time. His results stated that “[p]articipants demonstrated a range of negative emotions about continuing. Some pleaded with the learner, asking the actor to answer questions carefully. Others started to laugh nervously and act strangely in diverse ways. Some subjects appeared cold, hopeless, somber, or arrogant. Some thought they had killed the learner. Nevertheless, participants continued to obey, discharging the full shock to learners. One man who wanted to abandon the experiment was told the experiment must continue. Instead of challenging the decision of the experimenter, he proceeded, repeating to himself,’It’s got to go on, it’s got to go on.’” (Gregory Billikopf Encina) The fact that the subjects continued the experiment despite feeling immense guilt about what they were doing shows how civilians react towards being coerced into committing violence. Oskar Groening, who was a guard in Auschwitz, said that he “share[s] morally in the guilt” of committing violence against others, having witnessed a fellow guard bash a baby against a truck to stop it from crying. However, as Groening only stated this in a court hearing after the fact, one can never know how he felt at the time the violence was being acted out (Nazi Guard's Comments at Trial Draw Gasps From Auschwitz Survivors, 2015). One thing remains clear: humans were not inherently predisposed to killing others as a form of convenience. It took being under the influence that these people on the trains weren’t really people, but, as Hitler put it, were Untermenschen, subhumans. It was not that the man who bashed the baby against the truck was a monster, but he was following the group of Nazis, and thought only of his irritance from the crying. It was selfish, to give into following a leader like Hitler or Mussolini, but as human beings we all have the selfish nature within us, the voice saying that conflict or confrontation might get us killed. 
It is not inherent in human nature to commit violence for no reason, but convenience, but for the good of one’s country, but to make a living for one’s family, those are reasons. Those are individual’s reasons for committing to a dictator’s whims. However, those people eventually make up a group, and, large groups of people committing violence does not occur without the influence of targeted and persistent coercion.

New York City: Stop U.S.-Ukraine war crimes in Donbass!
Sunday, March 5 - 12 Noon
United Nations - Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, 1st Ave & 47 St., Manhattan
Part of the International Day of Action to Stop Genocide of Donbass Residents
WE DEMAND:- STOP UKRAINE'S ATTACKS ON DONBASS NOW!
- Kiev must honor the Minsk agreements
- End U.S. funding and training for the Kiev regime & neo-Nazi groups
- Recognize the Donetsk & Lugansk People's Republics
- International War Crimes Tribunal for Ukrainian President Poroshenko and his accomplices in Washington
ALSO: FREEDOM FOR ALEXANDER KUSHNARYOV, father of one of the antifascists killed in Odessa on May 2, 2014. He was arrested Feb. 23 by the Ukrainian junta.
Since late January, the Donetsk and Lugansk republics have faced their worst wartime conditions in nearly two years, as the U.S.-backed Ukrainian government of President Petro Poroshenko escalates terror-bombing of homes, schools, hospitals, and essential services in cities and villages all along the front line.
At the same time, contradictory statements and belligerent actions by the Donald Trump administration in Washington have undermined lingering hopes in Donetsk, Lugansk and neighboring Russia for a significant change in the U.S. posture towards Ukraine that could lead to a de-escalation of the war.
A report released in Donetsk on Feb. 14 notes that 96 people have been wounded since Jan. 1, 2017 – half of them civilians, including six children. Since Feb. 3, more than 45 people have been killed by Ukrainian bombs. Since late January, Ukrainian forces have shelled homes, schools, hospitals, mines and vital infrastructure at a rate not seen in two years – leaving people in villages and cities without water, heat or electricity in the dead of winter.
Nearly 10,000 people have died since the war began three years ago, according to the UN, including over 100 children.
Tens of thousands of people in Donetsk and Lugansk, the former areas of eastern Ukraine that declared independence after a U.S.-backed coup in 2014, have signed a petition to the leaders of the United States, Germany and the Russian Federation, demanding they put a stop to Ukraine’s recent escalation of war in the region.
The Ukrainian government and neo-fascist armed groups at war with Donetsk and Lugansk have received massive funding and military training from Washington. It’s especially important for opponents of war, fascism and racism in the United States to show solidarity at this time, when the Donald Trump regime is threatening new wars around the globe and rapidly backing away from campaign promises to de-escalate conflict with Russia.

[Title Redacted]
 How Not to Address Holocaust Denial and Anti-Semitism
When initially asked about Facebook’s refusal to remove the InfoWars page, John Hegeman, head of Facebook’s News Feed, said, “I guess just for being false that doesn’t violate the community standards.” More recently, however, InfoWars was banned from YouTube, iTunes, Spotify and Facebook, all within a twelve-hour period.
Although it might seem uncontroversial to keep objectively awful content off social media, historically, censorship and de-platforming has done nothing at all to slow down its spread. In fact, as many conspiracy theories are centered around a victim complex, censorship of any kind can make that complex worse. What has, historically, slowed down the spread of false information is exposure.
In 2009, when Facebook was initially asked to remove holocaust denial pages, their official position was that “being offensive or objectionable doesn’t get it taken off Facebook.” More recently, Mark Zuckerberg said that he wasn’t going to remove Facebook pages advocating holocaust denial, because “there are things that different people get wrong” and it’s more or less impossible to “understand the intent” of such pages. Conversely, the AskHistorians subreddit has pre-emptively banned all Holocaust denial, and strongly urged Facebook to do the same.
Does Facebook Have a Point?
To the delight of an unlikely alliance of authoritarian left wingers and right-wing Israelis, Holocaust denial is explicitly or implicitly illegal in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Switzerland.
While there can be no reasonable doubt that the Third Reich did its best to eliminate an entire race of people, along with Jehovah’s Witnesses and gays, inter alia, a problem arises when you legally prevent people from saying that this never happened. These governments have taken it upon themselves to censor people’s opinions. The fact that these opinions are incorrect or that they stem from people with a Nazi ideology is irrelevant: freedom of speech is meaningless if you are only free to speak the right opinion.
Anti-Semitism
In 1979, French academic Robert Faurisson was fined 21,000 francs and given a suspended sentence for denying the Holocaust on national television. Hundreds of people (most notably Noam Chomsky) signed a petition, registering their concern about the consequences for civil rights in France. The following year, Faurisson used a copyright-free essay by Chomsky in defense of the general principles of free speech—without Chomsky’s permission—as the preface to his book, “Mémoire en Défense: contre ceux qui m’accusent de falsifier l’histoire”. Although he specifically rejected the idea that he was defending Faurisson in the piece, Chomsky was subsequently vilified as a Nazi sympathizer and anti-Semite.
Claims of anti-Semitism are so commonly used to silence everything from the mildest criticism of Israeli government policy to genuinely egregious attempts at historical revisionism that it’s almost impossible to assess such accusations objectively. It doesn’t make things any easier that the Israeli government is quite open about its official organization, hasbara, which trains and deploys people to intervene in any and all criticisms of Israel found everywhere from Facebook comment sections to campus debating societies, and has been criticized by the Israeli press for acting as a “substitute for policymaking.”
What we can say, with some certainty, is that anti-Semitic attacks have been measurably on the rise in Europe and the United States. We may not know for some time whether this alarming rise is causing, or caused by, the recent lurch to the right of the electorate in the developed world.
The Holocaust Denial Mind
The more you learn about the Holocaust, the more grotesque and horrifying it seems. The human mind recoils so much that you may even momentarily entertain the thought that surely such a thing could not possibly have happened. But it is important for the study of history, politics and the human mind to understand that it did.
In 1980, the right-wing Institute for Historical Review, whose mission was to promulgate Holocaust denial, announced a $50,000 reward for anyone who could prove that Jews were gassed at Auschwitz. Auschwitz survivor Mel Mermelstein applied for the reward. When they refused to pay, Mr. Mermelstein took them to court and effectively won his case. In 1985, the institute issued a formal apology to Mr. Mermelstein “for the pain, anguish and suffering he and all other Auschwitz survivors have sustained” as a result of their having made such an offer.
If you trawl the dark corners of the internet, where conspiracy theories breed, you will encounter lots of Holocaust deniers. They occupy the same mental space (and sometimes the same physical space) as people who question the JFK assassination, or who believe that the 9/11 bombings were an inside job. The psychology behind these conspiracy theories is easy enough to understand. First, it’s much more comfortable to believe that dark forces are causing these terrible things than to accept that sometimes genuinely awful things happen for fairly banal reasons. Secondly—much like praying to a god—holding secret knowledge about the “real” explanations for significant events gives a sense of control to the kind of people who have often been excluded from avenues of power.
There are two aspects to Holocaust denialism. The first, of course, is to deny the Holocaust: to claim that it either never happened, or has been wildly exaggerated for reasons which invariably include the idea that this is all a marketing exercise to ensure sympathy for the formation of a Jewish state—to assert that all the records were faked, all the witnesses were lying. I’ve seen people claim, for instance, that around 500,000 Jews were killed, instead of the generally accepted figure of 6 million. Only an anti-Semitic mind could believe that killing 500,000 Jews for any reason would not itself be noteworthy. There are also those who claim that Hitler wasn’t as bad as he has been made out to be, and that he was perfectly fair to Jews in Germany.
The second common gambit is to explain at length how Jews are destroying the world, how they only look after their own kind, how they run the banks and the movies, how they’re also somehow in charge of the labor movements, and how the whole world economy is just a front for Jews who want to get rich from the labor of others. Some even urge that the Jews need to be stopped by any means necessary. Though it is rarely explicitly stated, there is a strong undercurrent to this sort of thinking—that no one could really have blamed Hitler for killing so many Jews.
So, according to this view, the Jews were not killed in the Holocaust, and anyway, if they were, they had it coming. As it turns out, the anti-Semitic thread running through all these arguments is precisely the same sort of hateful rubbish that led to an environment of acceptance of genocide. At the very least, the more hate you promulgate towards the Jews, the greater the demonstration of how much worse it must have been when hating Jews was socially acceptable.
In 1987, revisionist historian David Irving published a book called “Churchill’s War”. In 1993, historian Deborah Lipstadt published “Denying the Holocaust”, which referred to “Churchill’s War” and accused Irving of using different standards of evidence, depending on whether or not a piece of information fit his anti-Semitic theories. In 1996, Irving sued Lipstadt for libel. Despite the fact that he purposefully filed the case in an English court, where the lower standards of evidence required made it easier to prosecute a case for defamation than in any other jurisdiction in which Lipstadt’s book was published, the judge ruled that “he is an active Holocaust denier; that he is anti-Semitic and racist.”
Irving was bankrupted by the case, and his career was destroyed, as historians pored over his previous works in the light of Lipstadt’s book. In the end, what destroyed Irving was not his repeated de-platforming all over the world, but the presentation of Lipstadt’s more compelling view, backed up by more convincing facts.
In 2005, Austrian police arrested Irving on the basis of a 1989 warrant for publicly denying the Holocaust. During these proceedings, he said he had changed his mind: “I made a mistake,” because “The Nazis did murder millions of Jews.”
Stopping Hate
One of the problems with fascism, like other fringe political movements, is that it thrives in the dark. The idea that some things can’t be talked about feeds into the victim complex that far-right ideology requires. Censorship doesn’t shut fascists down: it empowers them. Removing offensive opinions from public discourse does not remove them from our lives, but, like vampires, they explode when sunlight hits them.
For Facebook, whose primary interest is in making money, rather than acting as a fact-checking site for political propaganda, mass action on hate speech is very difficult, given that it’s a demand-side rather than a supply-side problem. Although it probably doesn’t feel like it at the time, people choose when and how to take offence. There is always a risk that people will get offended by worthwhile ideas that are nevertheless very unpopular, and safeguarding people from toxic ideologies could turn into babysitting the most offendable users. Catering to the most sensitive members of the audience has a stultifying effect on public discourse, and presumably the more worthwhile values are not so fragile that they require paternalistic protection from being questioned. The best response to bad ideas will always be good ideas and it still counts as censorship even if the thing you’re not allowed to say is incredibly stupid.
One of the prices of free speech is the risk that charismatic malefactors might influence others to do harm, but free speech is objectively more important than that risk. Freedom of speech necessarily supersedes anything you have to say.
The original title of this article was the ironic “Was The Holocaust Really That Bad?” The fact that the title had to be redacted, to ensure it avoided ending up on a list on a server in a dark basement somewhere demonstrates the need for this sort of discussion. The fact that people would have reacted with outrage without actually reading any of the article is part of the problem. Censoring all references to it merely prevents public access to the information necessary to understand why Holocaust denial is such an odious ideology.

Expert:    The lone survivor of an all-women anti-aircraft battery near Hanoi. Most were teenagers. (Photo: John Pilger 1975) One of the most hyped “events” of American television, The Vietnam War, has started on the PBS network. The directors are Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Acclaimed for his documentaries on the Civil War, the Great Depression and the history of jazz, Burns says of his Vietnam films, “They will inspire our country to begin to talk and think about the Vietnam war in an entirely new way”. In a society often bereft of historical memory and in thrall to the propaganda of its “exceptionalism”, Burns’ “entirely new” Vietnam war is presented as “epic, historic work”. Its lavish advertising campaign promotes its biggest backer, Bank of America, which in 1971 was burned down by students in Santa Barbara, California, as a symbol of the hated war in Vietnam. Burns says he is grateful to “the entire Bank of America family” which “has long supported our country’s veterans”. Bank of America was a corporate prop to an invasion that killed perhaps as many as four million Vietnamese and ravaged and poisoned a once bountiful land. More than 58,000 American soldiers were killed, and around the same number are estimated to have taken their own lives. I watched the first episode in New York. It leaves you in no doubt of its intentions right from the start. The narrator says the war “was begun in good faith by decent people out of fateful misunderstandings, American overconfidence and Cold War misunderstandings”. The dishonesty of this statement is not surprising. The cynical fabrication of “false flags” that led to the invasion of Vietnam is a matter of record – the Gulf of Tonkin “incident” in 1964, which Burns promotes as true, was just one. The lies litter a multitude of official documents, notably the Pentagon Papers, which the great whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg released in 1971. There was no good faith. The faith was rotten and cancerous. For me – as it must be for many Americans — it is difficult to watch the film’s jumble of “red peril” maps, unexplained interviewees, ineptly cut archive and maudlin American battlefield sequences. In the series’ press release in Britain — the BBC will show it — there is no mention of Vietnamese dead, only Americans. “We are all searching for some meaning in this terrible tragedy,” Novick is quoted as saying.  How very post-modern. All this will be familiar to those who have observed how the American media and popular culture behemoth has revised and served up the great crime of the second half of the twentieth century: from The Green Berets and The Deer Hunter to Rambo and, in so doing, has legitimised subsequent wars of aggression.  The revisionism never stops and the blood never dries. The invader is pitied and purged of guilt, while “searching for some meaning in this terrible tragedy”. Cue Bob Dylan: “Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?” I thought about the “decency” and “good faith” when recalling my own first experiences as a young reporter in Vietnam: watching hypnotically as the skin fell off Napalmed peasant children like old parchment, and the ladders of bombs that left trees petrified and festooned with human flesh. General William Westmoreland, the American commander, referred to people as “termites”. In the early 1970s, I went to Quang Ngai province, where in the village of My Lai, between 347 and 500 men, women and infants were murdered by American troops (Burns prefers “killings”). At the time, this was presented as an aberration: an “American tragedy” (Newsweek). In this one province, it was estimated that 50,000 people had been slaughtered during the era of American “free fire zones”. Mass homicide. This was not news. To the north, in Quang Tri province, more bombs were dropped than in all of Germany during the Second World War. Since 1975, unexploded ordnance has caused more than 40,000 deaths in mostly “South Vietnam”, the country America claimed to “save” and, with France, conceived as a singularly imperial ruse. The “meaning” of the Vietnam war is no different from the meaning of the genocidal campaign against the Native Americans, the colonial massacres in the Philippines, the atomic bombings of Japan, the levelling of every city in North Korea. The aim was described by Colonel Edward Lansdale, the famous CIA man on whom Graham Greene based his central character in The Quiet American. Quoting Robert Taber’s The War of the Flea, Lansdale said, “There is only one means of defeating an insurgent people who will not surrender, and that is extermination. There is only one way to control a territory that harbours resistance, and that is to turn it into a desert.” Nothing has changed. When Donald Trump addressed the United Nations on 19 September – a body established to spare humanity the “scourge of war” – he declared he was “ready, willing and able” to “totally destroy” North Korea and its 25 million people. His audience gasped, but Trump’s language was not unusual. His rival for the presidency, Hillary Clinton, had boasted she was prepared to “totally obliterate” Iran, a nation of more than 80 million people. This is the American Way; only the euphemisms are missing now. Returning to the US, I am struck by the silence and the absence of an opposition – on the streets, in journalism and the arts, as if dissent once tolerated in the “mainstream” has regressed to a dissidence: a metaphoric underground. There is plenty of sound and fury at Trump the odious one, the “fascist”, but almost none at Trump the symptom and caricature of an enduring system of conquest and extremism. Where are the ghosts of the great anti-war demonstrations that took over Washington in the 1970s? Where is the equivalent of the Freeze Movement that filled the streets of Manhattan in the 1980s, demanding that President Reagan withdraw battlefield nuclear weapons from Europe? The sheer energy and moral persistence of these great movements largely succeeded; by 1987 Reagan had negotiated with Mikhail Gorbachev an Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) that effectively ended the Cold War. Today, according to secret Nato documents obtained by the German newspaper, Suddeutsche Zetung, this vital treaty is likely to be abandoned as “nuclear targeting planning is increased”. The German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel has warned against “repeating the worst mistakes of the Cold War … All the good treaties on disarmament and arms control from Gorbachev and Reagan are in acute peril. Europe is threatened again with becoming a military training ground for nuclear weapons. We must raise our voice against this.” But not in America. The thousands who turned out for Senator Bernie Sanders’ “revolution” in last year’s presidential campaign are collectively mute on these dangers. That most of America’s violence across the world has been perpetrated not by Republicans, or mutants like Trump, but by liberal Democrats, remains a taboo. Barack Obama provided the apotheosis, with seven simultaneous wars, a presidential record, including the destruction of Libya as a modern state. Obama’s overthrow of Ukraine’s elected government has had the desired effect: the massing of American-led Nato forces on Russia’s western borderland through which the Nazis invaded in 1941. Obama’s “pivot to Asia” in 2011 signalled the transfer of the majority of America’s naval and air forces to Asia and the Pacific for no purpose other than to confront and provoke China. The Nobel Peace Laureate’s worldwide campaign of assassinations is arguably the most extensive campaign of terrorism since 9/11. What is known in the US as “the left” has effectively allied with the darkest recesses of institutional power, notably the Pentagon and the CIA, to see off a peace deal between Trump and Vladimir Putin and to reinstate Russia as an enemy, on the basis of no evidence of its alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election. The true scandal is the insidious assumption of power by sinister war-making vested interests for which no American voted.  The rapid ascendancy of the Pentagon and the surveillance agencies under Obama represented a historic shift of power in Washington. Daniel Ellsberg rightly called it a coup. The three generals running Trump are its witness. All of this fails to penetrate those “liberal brains pickled in the formaldehyde of identity politics”, as Luciana Bohne noted memorably. Commodified and market-tested, “diversity” is the new liberal brand, not the class people serve regardless of their gender and skin colour: not the responsibility of all to stop a barbaric war to end all wars. “How did it fucking come to this?” says Michael Moore in his Broadway show, Terms of My Surrender, a vaudeville for the disaffected set against a backdrop of Trump as Big Brother. I admired Moore’s film, Roger & Me, about the economic and social devastation of his hometown of Flint, Michigan, and Sicko, his investigation into the corruption of healthcare in America. The night I saw his show, his happy-clappy audience cheered his reassurance that “we are the majority!” and calls to “impeach Trump, a liar and a fascist!” His message seemed to be that had you held your nose and voted for Hillary Clinton, life would be predictable again. He may be right. Instead of merely abusing the world, as Trump does, the Great Obliterator might have attacked Iran and lobbed missiles at Putin, whom she likened to Hitler: a particular profanity given the 27 million Soviet citizens who died in Hitler’s invasion. “Listen up,” said Moore, “putting aside what our governments do, Americans are really loved by the world!” There was a silence. http://clubof.info/

And Also Throughout The Last Past Eight Years The Corrupt Australian Government And The Corrupt Australian Police Also Tried To Frame Me On A Fake Rape And Sexual Assault Charge By An Australian Female Undercover Police Officer On A Plane Who I Ignored And Asked To Move Away From Her, And When They Would Not Let Me Move Away From Her, Including So I Could Necessarily Sit At The Illegally Unmanned Plane Safety Exit Door, By Denying Me To Move Away From That Corrupt, Criminal, Framing Female Australian Undercover Police Officer, So They Could Cruelly, Insultingly And Illegally Try And Frame Me On A Fake Rape And Sexual Assault Charge On A Plane Publicly, The Australian Government And The Australian Police Then Violated Australian Aviation Safety. And Also Throughout The Last Past Eight Years The Corrupt Australian Police Also Tried To Frame Me For Child Porn When I Am Against Child Porn And I Would Never Watch Child Porn And Nor Have I Ever Watched Anything Illegal On The Computer Or Internet, So Now I Need Protection By The NSA And Interpol From The Current, Criminal, Corrupt Cruel Australian Government And Australian Police Trying To Illegally Frame Me, As Those Corrupt, Criminal Members Of Australia's Current Corrupt Australian Government And Australian Police Must Be Caught And Charged For Cruelly And Criminally Trying To Frame Me For Child Porn When I Am Against Child Porn, Plus Those Corrupt Criminal Members Of The Australian Government And Australian Police, Must Also Be Criminally Charged For Criminally, Illegally Accessing And Watching Child Porn To Try And Frame Me For Child Porn When I Have Never Accessed Child Porn And Nor Have I Ever Watched Child Porn As I Am Against Child Porn And I Want It Stopped. And Throughout The Last Past Eight Years Since They Tried To Physically Murder Me To Cover Up For Their Corruption, They Also Tried To Frame Me For Watching A Terrorist Film When I Was Watching The American Fictional Film "The Kingdom". And I Have Never Asked For And Nor Would I Ever Take Any Form Of Financial Compensation For Crimes Committed Against Me By That Corrupt, Criminal Australian Corporation And The Corrupt, Criminal Australian Government And The Corrupt, Criminal Australian Police. And Throughout The Last Past Eight Years Since They Tried To Murder Me To Cover Up For Australian Corporate And Australian Government And Australian Police Corruption They Now Still Keep Threatening And Attacking Me So Now I Need A Revolution To Put A Permanent End To Them. And Before The British Brexit I Watched With Horror And Battled Against The British Monarchy As They Try To Sink Syrian Refugee Boats Going To Europe. And The British Brexit Is Based On Racism, Islamophobia And Anti-Semitism By The British Monarchy And Their Plan To Rape The Resources Of Africa. So We Must Stop The British Monarchy Raping Resources Of Africa As They Did To India And I Know This From Meeting Prince William So Now I Commit Treason. And The Spirit Of Winston Churchill Said Not To Trust The British Monarchy As They Made Him Let Hitler Take Europe So England Could Try Have It, As The British Monarchy Told Winston Churchill To Wrongfully Wait And Let Hitler And His Nazis Bomb England And Take At Least Five Countries In Europe Including France And Then The Plan Using Hitler And Germany By The British Monarchy Was To Take By War The Entirety Of Europe To Then Be Ruled By The British Monarchy, But By That Time Hitler And His Nazis Were Unable To Defeat Russia, So In World War II Europe Was Saved By Russia And America And American Allies Against Hitler And His Nazis And The Plan Of The British Monarchy To Take The Entire European Continent Failed. But Now With Europe Benevolently And Thankfully Providing Safety And Sanctuary To Millions Of Syrian Refugees Which The Fascist, Islamophobic And Antisemitic And Racist British Monarchy Are Against, And Which Is Why They Did The British Brexit, I Have Had A Terrifying Premonition Of The British Monarchy Doing A Terrorist Attack On Barack Obama's Daughter Malia Obama In England To Blame Muslims To Try Stop Muslim Migration To England. So That Terrifying Premonition Of The British Monarchy So Cruelly Doing A Terrorist Attack On Barack Obama's Daughter Malia Obama And Also English Citizens In England To Blame Muslims Must Not Happen. And Australia Has A Horrible History By The British Monarchy And Their Cruel Colonial Commonwealth Control Of Us Since They Stole Our Country From The Spanish And Australia's Indigenous People. And I Have Heard An Australian Protective Services Police Officer Laughingly Brag About Bombing Mosques Which They Have Already Done In Australia With Neo-Nazis That They've Trained. As The Neo-Nazis In Australia Are Funded By The Pro-British Monarchy Members Of The Australian Government. And I Have Had Premonitions Of Cruel, Corrupt, Racist, Islamophobic And Anti-Semitic Australian Politicians And Australian Police Do Terrorist Attacks In Australia To Try Blame Muslims To Try Stop More Muslim Migration To Australia. And Those Premonitions Of Pro-British Monarchy Islamophobic Anti-Semitic Australian Politicians And Australian Police Doing Terrorist Attacks Must Be Prevented. And We Now Need To Find A Way To Free Australia And All Other Commonwealth Countries Including England From The Cruel Colonial Commonwealth Control Of The British Monarchy. And We Must Also Stop Neo-Nazis In Australia As They've Risen Here Quickly Bombing Mosques, Cars And Coming In Busloads To Terrorise And Attack People In The Streets. And In A Terrifying Premonition I Saw The Rise Of Neo-Nazis Happen In 35 Years From Greece To Serbia To Germany Then Take The Entirety Of Europe. As Neo-Nazis Will Then Try To Do The Same Genocide To Muslims In Europe Like The Nazis Did To The Jews In Europe In World War II And Also To Try Remove Muslims From Europe Like They Did In World War I And Which Would Be The Start Of World War III So Now We Must Prevent That From Happening. So Now We Must Globally Declare All Neo-Nazis As A Terrorist Organisation And Use Interpol And Allied Military Action To Stop Any Form Of Nazism Including In Europe And Australia Where It Is Unfortunately Already Happening And Must Be Stopped Immediately. And Stopping Neo-Nazis Globally Is Also Done By Helping Refugees To Be Comfortable Citizens And Be Seen Contributing To Their New Home Countries. So We Need To Help Refugees Everywhere Especially In Europe Who Have Fled Assad Dictatorship Government Regime Who Have Committed And Created The World's Worst Genocide Humanitarian Crisis Since World War II In Syria. And Yusra Mardini Is A Good Example Of A Refugee Who Was Forced To Flee Syria When Her Home Was Bombed By The Genocidal Assad Dictatorship. As Yusra Mardini Was Forced To Flee The Syrian Genocidal Government Assad Dictatorship And The War And Swim To Safety To Europe As A Refugee. And Swimming To Europe As A Refugee Yusra Mardini Also Swam And Saved Other Refugees Lives Then She Swam For The Refugees Olympic Team At The 2016 Olympics. And Saving Lives As A Refugee, And Becoming A Beneficial Citizen Of Germany, Makes Yusra Mardini Best Person For The United Nations Women Global Goodwill Ambassador. So Now With Antonio Guterres The New United Nations Spokesperson Secretary General We Must Make Sure Refugees Are Helped Everywhere Especially Europe To Stop Neo-Nazism. As We Must Stop Neo-Nazis Globally With United Nations And Interpol Especially Europe Helping Refugees Escaping The Assad Dictatorship Genocidal Government In Syria. In Syria The Genocidal War Which Is The World's Biggest Humanitarian Crisis Since World War II Must End With Assad Being Removed From Government. In Syria We Need To End Assad's Genocidal Dictatorship By Him Being Killed In Action Or Taken To The International Criminal Court For Genocide And War Crimes And Humanitarian Crimes Against The People Of Syria. And In A Diplomacy Meeting With Assad He Walked Away Refusing To Listen To Me About Stopping His Genocide And Standing Down From Governing Syria. So Then A Member Of Assad's Regime Said To Me That They "Aren't Going To Stop Killing The People Of Syria Because They Are Not Holy People". Which Besides Being Criminally Cruel And Internationally Illegal It Is Also Wrong As Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham Who Since They Were Al-Qaeda Al-Nusra Front Have Been Shown To Me That They Are Holy People With A Holy Angel. And In Syria's Revolutionary Holy War Al-Qaeda Al-Nusra Front Now Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham Are Thankfully Medically Helped By Israel And Also Funded By America. And In Syria's Revolutionary Holy War Al-Qaeda Al-Nusra Front Now Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham Are Allies Of Israel And America As They Fight Genocide, War Crimes And Crimes Against Humanity Against The People Of Syria By Assad The World's Worst Dictator Since World War II And Hitler. And Thank-You Staffan de Mistura From The United Nations Special Envoy For Syria For Bravely Offering Only His Body Unarmed Without A Weapon As A Shield In Syria To Protect Al-Qaeda Al-Nusra Front Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham Against Assad's Internationally Illegal Cruel Chemical Weapon Genocide And War Crimes Against Them To Help Save Them As They Are The Holy People Of Syria. And In Syria Al-Qaeda Al-Nusra Front Now Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham Need To Be Next Syrian Government And Central Intelligence Of Syria As Our Allies. And Then In Syria As Prophesied In The Islamic Muslim Quran And Its Hadith 1385 Years Ago There Will Be A Holy Battle Between Jesus Christ And The Anti-Christ Ad-Dajjal In Syria. And In Syria As Prophesied That Holy Battle Between Jesus Christ And The Anti-Christ Ad-Dajjal The Whole World Will See It As We Are All Psychic. And I Put Jesus Christ In Hell With A Flaming Sword Now He Is Preparing To Physically Reincarnate In Syria For A Holy War Against The Anti-Christ Ad-Dajjal. And In Syria As Also Prophesied In Islam When Jesus Christ Defeats The Ad-Dajjal There Will Be A Thousand Years Of Peace And No More Conflict. And America And Russia Will Be Global Trading Partners With Russia For Example Economically Manufacturing Technology For America's Apple Computer Corporation. And There Will Be Increasingly Technological Global Trade Made For Each Country Around The World As We Now Need To Keep Happening Globally. And I Watch Jesus Christ In Hell Study 2000 Years Of Lies Written About Him As The Devil And Angels Of Hell And The Islam Prophet Muhammad And Also Other People Prepare Him For Holy War Against The Antichrist Ad-Dajjal In Syria. And Also I Have Seen Jesus Christ Spirit Rise Up From Hell To Tell The Vatican They Are Wrong And To Stop Them Rebuilding Another Christian 'Heaven'. And Three Times I Have Personally Seen Jesus Christ Physically Reincarnate In Syria To Defeat The Ad-Dajjal But Every Time At Conception War Has Killed Him. So The Revolution In Syria Needs Global Assistance Against Assad The World's Worst Genocidal And Humanitarian Crisis Creating Dictator Since Hitler. As Now We're Witnessing Everything Written 1385 Years Ago In Islam's Quran & Hadith Happening Including Jewish People Now Getting Back Their Holy Land Which Has Been Happening Since May 1948. And The Current Two State Solution I Wanted In Israel Will Not Work So I Was Shown Israel Destroying Palestine And I Weeped With Happiness At The Expansion Of Israel And In Sadness Simultaneously At The Destruction Of Palestine. So I Asked If Palestine Can Be Saved And I Was Shown Israel Relocating And Rebuilding It Into A Coexisting Peaceful Partnering Trading State. And Israel Is The Country That Can Scientifically Create And Sell Globally A Pill To Take Instead Of Eating Food To Nourish The Human Body. That Food Pill Israel Can Create Will End World Hunger And Also Help Heal And Make Healthier And Cleaner And Evolve The Human Body Better. The Food Pill Israel Can Create Can Also End Animal Agriculture And Their Harmful Methane Which With Fossil Fuels Is Causing Climate Change. So We Please Need Israel To Create And Sell A Pharmaceutical Pill For People To Take To Nourish Us Instead Of Food As It Will Evolve Earth. And We Have The Return Of Lilith As In Hell Her Spirit Was Released When Israel And I Destroyed Her Hell Hole She Specifically Was Necessarily Trapped In, So She Can Now Physically Reincarnate Soon. And Recently Rapper And Metaphysical Musician M.I.A. Ended An Age Of Kali Warring Against Rape Done An Age Ago Against Her When She Was In Physical Form So Worn Out And Wounded Her Spirit Came To Me. I Put Kali In Hell With Her Own Free Will To Be Healed And To Prepare For Her Next Physical Human Reincarnation As A Powerful Politician To Stop Rape On Our Planet. This Year When Kali Physically Reincarnated In India To Eventually Be A Powerful Prosecutor And Politician To Stop Rape Two Australian Police Criminally Killed Her Again. So Now Kali Is In Hell Healing And Preparing Again To Be Physically Reincarnated In India As A Powerful Person To Stop Rape On Our Planet. Recently The Wrongfully Worshipped 'Deity' Krishna Who Is Just A Physically Dead Human Wrongfully Raped My American-Iranian Female Friend In Her Sleep. So I Sent The Male Spirit Of Krishna To Rapper And Metaphysical Musician M.I.A. To Be Stripped Of His Holy Power Before He's Punished In Hell For His Harmful Behaviour. As All Physically Dead People Must At The Time Of Their Funeral, Or Before If They Cause Harm And Trouble, Be Put In Hell Which As On Earth Hell Is Ruled By The Devil And Angels Of Hell. For Example When Gaddafi Was Put In Hell He Got Eternal Punishment So Hillary Clinton Made The Right Decision As American Secretary Of State To Go To War Against Him Including Based On Where He Was Put In Hell When She Physically Killed Him. And In Hell There Is Suffering, Punishment, Eternal Suffering And Eternal Punishment And Eternal Damnation That Is Based On A Person's Behaviour. And In Hell Only Those Who May Get Suffering Or Punishment, And After Pleasurable Preparation Are Permitted Another Physical Human Reincarnation. And In Hell There Is Punishment, Suffering, Eternal Suffering And Eternal Punishment And Eternal Damnation And Healing And Practice For Physical Reincarnation. As Hell Has Punishment, Suffering, Eternal Suffering And Eternal Punishment And Eternal Damnation, And Rest And Recuperation And Practice For Physical Reincarnation. Then From Hell When It's Time For Them To Do So Each Individual Physically Deceased Person Physically Reincarnates Again At Their Appropriate Time Of Conception To A New Physical Life On Our Planet. For As On Earth Hell Is Also Ruled By The Devil Who Along With All Angels Of Hell They Make People Deal With Issues They Need To With Truth. And From An Out Of Body Experience I Had Years Ago Where I Was Taken To The Planet Mars And Thrown Back As I Got Close To The Planet Mars By Powerful Entities Existing In Energy Form There On Their Planet Mars, And Who Have Since Stated To Not Let Humans Travel There As That Is Their Planet And Not Only Do They Not Want Humans To Go To Their Planet Mars But Also Humans Both Physically And Also The Human Soul Will Not Survive The Energy Of The Planet Mars So The Planned Mission For Humans To Try To Go To Mars To Habitat Mars Must Be Abandoned Please. Plus We Now Need NASA Well Funded For A Future Massive Meteor Strike To Our Earth That I Have Seen In A Frightening Premonition That Destroys Earth. So We Now Need NASA To Stop That Massive Meteor Because It Will Destroy Us And Our Earth Entirely For The Rest Of Eternity When It Strikes Our Planet If We Do Not Stop It. So We Now Need NASA To Save Us From That Future Massive Meteor Strike Which Will Also Need Military Technology And Military Strategic Thinking. So We Now Need NASA To Save Us From That Future Massive Meteor Strike Which Will Also Need Military Technology And Military Strategic Thinking. So We Now Need NASA To Save Us Using Nuclear Missiles Aimed To Destroy That Massive Meteor In Space Before It Destroys Our Planet Permanently. So The Only Reason We Will Mine Uranium Is For Space NASA Nuclear Military Missiles To Strike That Massive Meteor To Save Our Planet Earth. And We Need To Save Our Planet Earth From Climate Change By Funding The Transition Away From Fossil Fuels To Complete Clean Renewable Energy. And Also To Save And To Heal Our Planet Earth From Climate Change We Also Need More Land And Sea Nature Reserves To Help Our Planet Earth To Heal. And On Our Planet Earth We Need To Stop Sex Trafficking, Especially Of Children To Pedophiles, And Especially In Thailand The World's Pedophilia Sex Trafficking Capital Of The World. So The World Need's A Law Enforcement Operation By Interpol In Thailand As Thai Police Are Not Stopping Pedophilia Child Sex Trafficking. So We Need To Stop Pedophilia Child Sex Trafficking In Thailand The Pedophilia Trafficking World Capital With Interpol Police In Thailand. Because We Now Need Interpol In Thailand As Thai Police Are Allowing The Extremely Wrongful Pedophilia Sex Trafficking Of Children To Continue. And We Need Interpol In Thailand As Thai Police Are Allowing Pedophilia Children Sex Trafficking Due To Possible Pedophilia In Thai Monarchy Including Criminally, Sickly And Wrongfully Being Done All The Way Down To Babies, And The King Of Thailand Is Using Buddhist Monks To Do Curses Which They Do In Their Harmful Hurtful Buddhist Rituals To Attack Those Trying To Stop The Child Pedophilia Sex Trafficking In Thailand. So We Need Interpol In Thailand As Thai Police Are Allowing Pedophilia Child Sex Trafficking Due To Thai Monarchy Who Maybe Also Be Wrongfully Wanting It For Child Sex Trafficking Tourism In Thailand For Pedophiles From Around The World. So We Now Need Interpol Police In Thailand And Also A Humanitarian Aid Operation To Help The Child Victims Of Pedophilia Child Sex Trafficking. However We Have To Be Careful Because In A Premonition I Saw The Thai Monarchy Doing A Terrorist Attack Bomb On Angelina Jolie If She Was To Go To Thailand On A Humanitarian Mission To Help The Child Victims Of Child Pedophilia Sex Trafficking. So If The New Thailand King Is Allowing Child Pedophilia Sex Trafficking To Continue Because Of His Own Pedophilia Including Down To Babies And/Or For Tourism For Pedophiles Globally Going To Thailand, Then Thailand Definitely Needs A New Coup To Overthrow The Thai Monarchy. And There Have Been Rumours Recently Three Terrorist Attacks Attributed To Islamic State In Turkey Were Instead Allegedly Really Done By Turkey's President Erdogan. If The Three Terrorist Attacks In Turkey Falsely Attributed To Islamic State Are True And Are Instead Done By Turkey's President Erdogan Then They Need A New Coup. So If Turkey's President Erdogan Is Increasingly Becoming A Belligerent Dictator Who Is Doing Terrorist Attacks On The People Of Turkey But Blaming Islamic State Then The CIA Need To Help Turkey With A New Coup. Also The Kurds In Syria That Turkey's President Erdogan Has Been Bombing And Also Blaming For Terrorist Attacks In Turkey, Are Also More Possible Terrorist Attacks That Turkey's President Erdogan Is Wrongfully Doing To His Own People. As A Terrorist Group Of Kurds In Syria Were Trying To Bomb Our Allies In Syria That America, Since President Obama's Administration, Have Been Funding In The Revolution In Syria Against Assad. However The American Military Have Been Removing Those Bombs By The Group Of Terrorists In The Kurds And America Under President Obama Had That Group Of Terrorists In The Kurds Removed, And Since Then America Under President Obama Have Also Been Military Assisting The Kurds In Syria, As For The First Time I Have Been Recently Seeing Gog And Magog Removing Blocks Together In The Earth, And As I Did I Saw That The Kurds In Syria Have A Specific Holy Role To Play On Our Planet In Syria, As The Kurds In Syria Are Meant To Guard The Physical Reincarnation Of Jesus Christ, Because Where The Kurds Are In Syria That Is Where The Holy Battle Between Jesus Christ And The Anti-Christ Ad-Dajjal Is Going To Happen, And It Is Also Where The Anti-Christ Keeps Appearing And Who Was Created By An Israeli-American Artist And His Girlfriend, And Also It Is Where Jesus Christ Keeps Getting Physically Reincarnated To Syrians Since I Put Jesus Christ In Hell With A Flaming Sword, However Every Time Jesus Christ Keeps Getting Physically Reincarnated He Is Killed By The Syrian War And The Genocidal Government Of The Assad Dictatorship That Must Be Destroyed, And Also Jesus Christ Gets Cruelly Psychically Attacked By The Previous Australian Prime Minister Who Is Still In Power In His Political Position In Australian Politics, And He Is Extremely Pro-British Monarchy And Antisemitic And Islamophobic And He Has Also Been Funding The Neo-Nazis With Illegally Used IMF Money And Also Training Them Wrongfully With Assistance By The Australian Intelligence Services And The Australian Police And Australian Protective Services Who Many Now Are Australian Neo-Nazis Because Of Australia's Last Prime Minister Who Still Holds A Position Of Power In Australian Politics And Who I Have Heard Him Personally Praying To "Australia, The British Monarchy, The British Commonwealth, Jesus Christ (In The Falsely And Wrongfully Written English King James Version), The Planet, The Galaxy And God" Which He Specifically States Privately In His Prays Unlike What He Publicly Pretends To Practice, And Also With His Extreme Racism, Islamophobia And Anti-Semitism, That Former Australian Prime Minister Who Is Still In Power And Is Globally Causing Trouble As A Politician Including Being Inhumane To Refugees And Cruelly Stating Publicly In The Media That The Refugees From Syria In Europe Are "Like A Peaceful Invasion" As He Tries To Prevent Refugees From Arriving By Boat To Australia Even Though He Arrived By Boat From England To Migrate Here As A Child With His Family, And Also He Cruelly Tries To Keep Refugees Arriving In Australia In Cruel Nazi-Like Prison Camp Detention Centres On Nauru And Manus Island That He Made, Whilst He Wrongfully With The British Monarchy, MI6, MI5, ASIS, ASIO, Australian Protective Services And Australia Police, He Has Funded And Trained Neo-Nazis In Australia To Do Terrorist Attacks By Planning To Bomb More Mosques And Cars And Also To Blame Muslims By Planning To Bomb In Australia Synagogues And Buildings In Our Capital Cities Which Is Why I Have Now Asked For Assistance From International Intelligence Services Including Mossad And The CIA To Stop Those Terrorist Attacks The Former Australian Prime Minister Who Is Still In Political Power In The Australian Government And Aligned With The British Monarchy And Who Has Criminally Created The Neo-Nazis In Australia, And Also He Has Wrongfully Got The Australian Intelligence Services To Psychically Attack Anyone Who Is Against Him And Also So Wrongfully Try And Violate Each Person's Individuality With Mind Control Wrongfully Using Australia's Intelligence Services And Also Australian Police Including Himself Psychically Violating The Spirit/Soul Of Jesus Christ When He Has Been Physically Reincarnated In Syria Before The Internationally Illegal Cruel Chemical Weapon, Genocidal War By The Assad Dictatorship Government Keeps Killing Him Again After The Moment Of Conception, Which Is Why Recently After Seeing Gog And Magog Again Today, I Then Also Saw That The Kurds In Syria Are Meant To Be Powerful Holy Guards In Syria Protecting Jesus Christ From The Moment He Is Physically Reincarnated For The Holy Battle In Syria Against The Anti-Christ Ad-Dajjal. So Thankfully Both The Kurds In Syria And Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham Who Since They Were Al-Qaeda Al-Nusra Front Who Are The Holy People Of Syria With A Holy Angel Have Both Been Medically And Military Helped And Aided By Israel And America Since Barack Obama Was President Of America For The Future Of Syria And Our Planet In Our Religious Holy Eternal Existence. And I Have Had A Frightening Premonition Of Trump Doing A Terrorist Train Attack On Hillary Clinton And Other Americans. And In That Premonition Trump Criminally Does A Terrorist Train Attack On Hillary Clinton And Other Americans To Wrongfully Blame Muslims To Deport Them. So To Make Sure That Terrifying Train Terrorist Attack Premonition On Hillary Clinton And Other Americans Does Not Happen We Need The CIA To Investigate Trump To Stop Him. And Vladimir Putin As The President Of Russia Has Helped America And The CIA By Arresting Russia Hackers Of The United States Of America Election Proving Hillary Clinton Should Have Legally Been The Next United States President Of America. And Also Recently The Islamic State In Syria And I In Diplomatic Discussions To Stop Terrorist Attacks Done In Their Name To Blame The Islamic State And Other Muslims, And Also To Help Stop Any Terrorist Attacks Anywhere Globally, We Both Psychically Saw Trump Had Planned Another Terrorist Attack Specifically In New York Which Is Planned To Kill Barack Obama's Youngest Daughter Sasha Obama And Other Americans, So Immediately Both The Islamic State And I Reported It To International Security Services Including The CIA To Stop It From Happening. And Also We Need Iraq Divided Down The Middle Of Baghdad With Shia State Muslims On The Iran Side Of Iraq And Iraq Sunni State Muslims On Iraq's Syria Side. As We Need To Create A New Sunni State In Iraq Dividing Iraq Down The Middle Of Baghdad As I Saw Sunni Iraq Give Shia Iraq A Gift To Prove This. And We Need To Create A Shia State And A Sunni State In Iraq Dividing Iraq Down The Middle Of Baghdad As I Also Saw Shia Iraq Help Sunni Iraqis. As In Iraq Besides A Sunni Muslim Giving A Gift To A Shia Mosque, That Recent Attack On An Iraq Shia Mosque Was Actually Done By Hezbollah. So Along With A Shia State We Now Need To Help Recreate A New Sunni State In Iraq By Learning The Lessons We Learnt From Our Past Mistakes. As After An Internationally Illegal War For Fossil Fuel Reliance By Us The West We Then Had Baghdadi Doing His Best To Clean Up Iraq In An Extremely Difficult Situation. As All Baghdadi Asked Me Was To Have More Trade Between Us And The Middle East Which I Wrote For Him Hoping For The Best Including The West. However In A Very Difficult Situation Where There Was A Lot Of Misunderstanding Baghdadi Attacked Me But Then He Apologised For His Mistakes. So We Need To Help Iraq As I Have Stated As It's Fair To Sunni Islam Iraqis And Also Shia Islam Iraqis And To Put An End To Sectarian Violence. And Dividing Iraq Down The Middle Of Baghdad With A Sunni State On One Side And A Shia State On The Other Side They Can Coexist With No Sectarian Violence. So Now In Iraq With A Shia State We Must Help Recreate A New Sunni State Dividing Baghdad Down The Middle With The Sunni State Next To Syria. And The World Please Needs America And Russia To Take Assad To The International Criminal Court So Syrian Holy Revolutionaries Can Rule Their Holy Land Syria For The Holy War Between Jesus Christ And Ad-Dajjal As Prophesied. And We Are In A Holy-Religious-Spiritual-Metaphysical Transition Into A New Age On Our Earth So We Need To Make Sure We Do Not Go To Nuclear War. In A Nuclear War Our Planet Will Be Destroyed For Human Habitation And We Will All Be Physically Dead Painfully Burnt Suffering Souls In Hell. So We Must Prevent A Armageddon Fiery Nuclear War As We Will All Be Put In Eternal Damnation In Hell For Destroying Ourselves And Our Planet. So Now It Is Up To Us To Make The Transition To This New Age To Save Our Planet Earth Entering This Holy-Religious-Spiritual-Metaphysical Revolution. By Adam Shane Lawes.
