During the Cold War and the struggle that put the USSR and China on one side and imperialism headed by Washington on the other side, revolutionaries used to characterize the conflict as a class war between two irreconcilable social systems.

There was the socialist camp, based upon socialized property, economic planning for human need and the government monopoly of foreign trade on the USSR-China side, and capitalism, a system of production for profit, on the other.

That the two systems were irreconcilable was at the bottom of the conflict dubbed the Cold War. In light of the current sharpening economic, diplomatic, political and military conflict between U.S. imperialism and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), it is time to revive the concepts that were applied during the height of the Cold War. …

To be sure, there has been a steady erosion of China’s socialist institutions. The “iron rice bowl” which guaranteed a living to Chinese workers has been eliminated in private enterprises. Numerous state factories and enterprises have been sold off to the detriment of the workers, and in the rural areas land was decollectivized.

One of the biggest setbacks for socialism in China and one which truly gladdened the hearts of the prophets of counterrevolution, was the decision by the Jiang Jemin CCP leadership to allow capitalists into the Chinese Communist Party in 2001. …

But on balance, this capitalist takeover has not materialized. Chinese socialism, despite the capitalist inroads into the economy, has proved far more durable than Washington ever imagined.

It is not that Xi Jinping has become a revolutionary internationalist and a champion of proletarian control. But it has become apparent that China’s status in the world is completely connected to its social and economic planning.

I do myself believe Xi and the CCP are more radical than this description but still a nice post!

Every now and then one hears the claim that “Lenin was a state-capitalist, Lenin didn’t support socialism, but state-capitalism.” What is this based on? Let’s get to the bot…

October 3-4, 1993: Moscow uprising against U.S./Yeltsin counter-revolution

October 3-4 marks the anniversary of the heroic uprising against Boris Yeltsin’s imperialist-backed attack on the Supreme Soviet in Moscow. The uprising’s defeat represented the final overturn of socialist relations and the restoration of capitalism in the USSR.

Several years of counter-revolutionary developments within and without had seriously demoralized the Soviet working class. Generations of non-combative, revisionist leadership left the Soviet people unprepared to fight back to defend socialism.

Yet for several weeks in September 1993, as the crisis deepened, demonstrations had been growing in defense of the Supreme Soviet and for the restoration of the USSR in accord with the referendum of May 17, 1991, when 70 percent of Soviet voters supported the continuation of the union, which was later illegally dissolved by Yeltsin & co. in December 1991.

On the night of October 3-4, 1993, thousands of communist militants, workers and youths battled Yeltsin’s fascist OMON troops and other counter-revolutionary elements in the streets surrounding the “Russian White House” (seat of the Supreme Soviet). Hundreds of defenders were mowed down by automatic gunfire and the building was shelled by Yeltsin’s tanks in what has come to be known in Russia as “Black October.”

In scenes reminiscent of the 1973 fascist coup in Chile, an unknown number of defenders were later taken as prisoners to a Moscow stadium and shot. Afterward the stadium walls were riddled with bullet holes. Estimates of the dead and disappeared are in the thousands, though Yeltsin claimed only 151 people died.

In the aftermath, leaders of the resistance, including communist militant Victor Anpilov, elected Supreme Soviet deputies, and other Yeltsin opponents were imprisoned. Revolutionary organizations and newspapers were banned by “democrat” Yeltsin, with hardy approval from U.S. President Bill Clinton.

We will never forget the heroic martyrs of the October uprising. Presente!

U.S. siege of Venezuelan Embassy violates Vienna Convention

Ambassador of Venezuela to the United Nations Samuel Moncada denounced on Wednesday the continuing violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention by the United States government, regarding the ongoing illegal siege to its Embassy in Washington D.C.

“This a massive violation not just of Venezuelan rights, but of the rights of all diplomats around the world, with respect to their physical, and I would say, moral integrity,” Moncada told reporters at a press conference given from U.N headquarters in New York.

The Venezuelan official reminded that according to Art. 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, “the premises of the mission shall be inviolable.” The article ensures that the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission and is under a special duty to protect the diplomatic mission against any intrusion or damage.

Even during a break in diplomatic relations and supported by Art. 45, the receiving nation, in this case, the U.S., must continue respecting foreign properties. “This type of situation should be resolved by appointing a third party state with protecting powers to maintain the sovereignty of the diplomatic headquarters,” Moncada added.

As is the case of the Venezuelan government who has respected the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, and under international law allowed the Swiss government — appointed by the U.S. — to take care of the premises. However, there has not been any reciprocity by the U.S. as they deny to allow a third party state, appointed by Venezuela, to take care of their embassy in Washington.

The Case for Left Unity

Many leftists stand divided on how to deal with capitalism. There is no one solution. Standing alone will not help us. However, standing together may not either. If we mystify our actions than we will achieve nothing. Some say that leftist unity is a dream and is impossible. Any leftist thinker will tell you nothing is truly impossible once you end your closed minds and binary method of thought.

Many said that nothing with mass can travel to or faster than the speed of light, that it was impossible. They are correct. But, looking at the problem differently, we developed the idea of warp-drive which is just a method of travel that curves space-time. To put it simply, we may not move faster than the speed of light, but space can do whatever it wants. It is THAT kind of thinking that will unite leftists. We need to understand that saying left unity is a dream that cannot be achieved is just a mystification of the real truth. We also need to understand that just blindly linking ourselves can hurt us as well. We do not want to be just one big mob. That can cause fighting, ideological confusion, and it makes us a bigger target.

The truth is simple. We must all allow each other to practice our own methods without interference from one another. Start coops! Build communes! Build coalitions and collectives! Make a party! Start a union! Go vote! Do whatever you can and whatever it takes. The commune is not gonna try and fight tooth and nail a vanguard party. The vanguard party should not just go around and talk trash about everyone else. It should educate and allow the masses to choose for themselves and correct themselves based on the open environment that democratic centralism should be protecting.

It is not too late to get involved. Be ready to aid others when needed. Join the DSA! Join the IWW! Join the Communist Party! Just start getting involved in local politics and you will get your opportunities.

On Feb. 28, U.S. President Donald Trump and Workers’ Party of Korea Chairperson Kim Jong Un met in Hanoi, Vietnam, to officially open the second summit between the United States and the DPRK

By Leon Koufax

In a post-summit press conference, the reason that Trump gave for ending the summit was North Korea’s refusal to accept anything less than a complete removal of U.N. and U.S. sanctions on the DPRK.

This was not the case. According to DPRK Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, Korea asked for relief from five U.N. sanctions imposed in 2016-2017 — out of a total of 11 — that were particularly harmful to the country’s economy.

But the question must be asked: why should the DPRK accept any deal with the U.S. to warm relations that does not involve the removal of all sanctions?

It seems that Trump expected the DPRK to end its nuclear program entirely while remaining under the boot of overwhelming trade restrictions, and also while South Korea remains under U.S. military occupation, as it has been for more than seven decades.

This expectation makes it abundantly clear that the U.S. intends to keep pursuing Korea’s total submission to the imperialist agenda.
