Solidarity with the Czech Communist Union of Youth
*The RSYM stand in solidarity with the youth communist movement of the
Czech Republic as it comes under attack from the Czech government.
The Interior Ministry of the Czech Republic has threatened to ban the
Communist Union of Youth (Komunisticky svaz mladeze, KSM). This is the
progression of recent anti-communist movements in Bohemia and Moravia
which have attempted to outlaw communist parties and even the word
communist itself. The KSM is being coerced into rejecting the theories
of Marx and Engels or be punished. As Czechs have long valued their
sturdy independence against despotism and religion, this new inquisition
is absurd.
Other draconian laws include making it a crime to defend or deny
alledged communist crimes have been passed by the House of Deputies of
the Parliament. The recurring theme in the Czech anticommunist movement
is to equate communists - the liberators of Prague - to the Nazis!
We encourage everyone to write and express their disgust with the Czech
Interior Ministry and solidarity with the KSM:
