Comrades, sadly many people, even so called revolutionaries have been heavily influenced by the massive bourgeois propaganda offensive which seeks to smear and tarnish to name of every successful socialist revolution in history. These bourgeois lies, where as Goebbels notably once said, repeated over and over again have become the truth in the eyes of many people. Often for instance when asked the opinion of the major revolutionary leaders of the past, Comrades Stalin, Hoxha for instance, many will consciously or not repeat the lies that the bourgeoisie has instilled in them. There seems to be no difference from the line the ultra-leftist uses when criticizing them and that of the capitalist bourgeosie! This alone, repeating ruling class lies verbatim, should make for deep pause and reflection among those serious about revolution.

This seems especially true in the United States were during the Cold War and because of imperialism's geo-political interests, anti-Communism because a de facto religion. The masses worshipped at the alter of it, believed through a massive propaganda effort led by the capitalist
ruling elite to embrace it, many of the best comrades were repressed or persecuted due to "red scare" epochs. And thus the revolutionary left lost some of the most advanced workers of the movement.

The anti-Communist revisionism has become a very successful business for the ruling class. As they through their capital endorse a whole onslaught against revolutionary Marxism-Leninism (via books, movies, TV shows, newspapers etc) the honest revolutionaries are left confused and impotent. They know the system is wrong but due to this brainwashing, this ruling class propaganda campaign they are left with few real alternatives in creating the workers state and transforming the proletariat from slave to ruler!

I ask those serious about revolution to question the propaganda that they have been brainwashed to believe as it only benefits ruling class politics, imperialist politics and is done to nullify the revolutionary movement. This propaganda campaign with revisionism (anti-Communism) as its dogma is one of the prime reasons why in many countries most subject to it the revolutionary left is small, confused and unorganized..thus ineffective.

This is a tragedy for all honest comrades and we must all do our part in combating this ruling class offensive!

Socialism, both in its ends and in its means, is a struggle to realize freedom.

-When you realize that some of the "saint comrades" and leaders as Stalin didn't contribute to this all your phraseology means nothing.

You should read papers not only from the bourgeoisie or the ultra leftists, but also you should read papers from the Soviet Union; here an example that I hope can help you:
Nikita Khrushchev´s SPECIAL REPORT TO THE 20TH CONGRESS OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION-February 25th 1956, you can find it at google

Also, how does this thread differ qualitatively from your previous thread here:

Good work, you added a few more paragraphs without adding anything in terms of content. Do you have a point?
