Not that long ago, the bourgeoisie could still feel pride in their revolutionary history. They continued to celebrate the 1789 French Revolution and many other great victories in the struggle against feudal oppression.

They even spoke approvingly of the 1917 overthrow of the czarist autocracy in Russia. The problem, they said, was that the Bolsheviks had spoiled that struggle for democracy by going too far.

But capitalism in this rotten age of U.S. imperialist conquest of the globe has degenerated so far from its revolutionary roots that it is now, to borrow a phrase from Henry Kissinger, to the right of the czar. And it is celebrating the return of absolute feudal rule in Afghanistan.

The powerful media engines, their reach multiplied by the most modern technologies, are presenting the world with instant photographic images of a lynching-that’s all it was-of the few progressives left in Kabul.

To make the deed more palatable, the media use adjectives like “butcher” to describe former President Najibullah and his aides. Dragged out of the United Nations compound where they had sought asylum for the last four years, they were beaten to death and then left hanging for all to see.

But among themselves, foreign-policy experts for the U.S. establishment know that the Afghani progressives’ real crime was that they tried to carry out a social transformation in their country in the direction of socialism.

Long live the Saur Revolution of April 27, 1978! Afghanistan will be free and socialist again!

Valentina Tereshkova was the very first woman to fly in space. Born in Yaroslavl Region of Russia on the 6th of March, 1937, she came from a modest home. Like her mother, Valentina was a textile worker. She always dreamed of becoming an astronaut and had a passion for parachute jumping. Because of her skills in parachute jumping, she was selected for the cosmonaut program.

She was one of four who were selected for the special woman-in-space program and she was the only one to complete the difficult and gruelling program. Her first flight to make women’s history was aboard Vostok 6 on the 16th of June, 1963. She successfully made 48 orbits around the earth in Vostok 6. When she returned to earth, she was given the impressive title of “Hero of the Soviet Union.”
