essay: "why I am a communist"

[red_fury]

Why I am a communist

In my environment many individuals ask me: “Alexander, why are you supporting communism? The utopian system which never worked, the system full of mistakes, look at the bright side of our current system, a capitalist society!”
But how can I? As I look at my motherland- Russia and I see the devastation. As I look at the anarchy in both politics and laws. As I see the economical demolition with an economical crisis every 5 years. As I witness the cultural eradication!
What did the “free” capitalist system give to my country?
I see my ancestors, who sacrificed their whole lives to build a bright future for their children, for us, who fought wars and died, defending their country, our freedom, lying in the dirt, dishonored and criticized by profiteering gluttons!
I see a nation, struggling for survival, working 20 hours a day to be able to stay alive.
The “free economic system” has lead my nation to hatred and violence; a government controlled by Mafiosi oligarchs- a criminal oligarchy!
I see the enormous technological advances, which were achieved by great scientists, for decennia’s, being forgotten and my country slowly being pushed back into the dark ages.
I see a great culture, built for centuries, a culture of honor, ethics, love, brotherhood and beautiful people slowly decaying and being pushed out by a “new” culture- a cult of money, a culture where some are prepared to sell their sol and where patriotism is being judged a “crime”.
If being a patriot makes me a criminal, then I agree:
Yes I am a criminal; my crime is that of judging the situation for what it really is! My crime is that of trying to improve the world around me. My crime is that of challenging the real criminals, the murderers, and the enslavers of my nation instead of trying to “hope for the best, living in a cryogenic bubble and screwing the rest”.
I agree, maybe communism is not the best system, it is not flawless and it could not work everywhere in the world! Capitalism either, could work in some other countries, there where capitalism has been theorized and built for centuries long, there where individualism prevails instead of brotherhood; there where strong social and lethal laws are. But off course that is partly socialism…
Winston Churchill once told: “Those who do not know their history are bound to relive their mistakes from the past again”
For my motherland, for Russia I see only one solution- if we want to come back to our glory, if we want to save our great culture- we have to rebuild socialism. FOR our history is that of learning to achieve victories by uniting, when we are united- we are power and when we are not we are overrun by other giants.
I have only one thing to say:
No one has ever over won our Russia, who will come to us with a sword, will die from a sword, that is what the great Russia stood and stands on! The butchers of my nation will pay greatly for their deeds.
Time will change and the bright sun of happiness, of brotherhood will shine again above Russia!

With the oligarch/mafiya in charge, it'll take another October Revolution to to turn the mess around. Is there anyone on the horizon to lead it? And would there be genuine mass support for it? I don't see either now.

red fury,

Just one question. How many years did you live in Russia before it became capitalistic?

Reply from my Russian wife:

> Why I am a communist
What’s your definition of a "communist"?

> But how can I? As I look at my motherland- Russia
Where do you live?

> As I look at the anarchy in both politics and laws.
Anarchy? A slogan of anarchists is "Anarchy is a mother of an order..."
Maybe, simply a dividing of a market between several groups of certain
people?

> see the economical demolition with an economical crisis every 5 years.
FIVE??? Maybe, last 85 years?

> As I witness the cultural eradication!
Oh, yes, a "kind grandfather Lenin" sent abroad an killed many
intelligent people. Are you so old that you have been a witness of that?

> What did the “free” capitalist system give to my country?
I wonder where you see "the “free” capitalist system".

> I see my ancestors, who sacrificed their whole lives to build a bright
> future for their children,
What ancestors do you mean? Who worked in GPU? KGB? My ancestors were
victims of your ancestors.
"to build a bright future for their children"
In GULAG?

> for us, who fought wars and died, defending their country, our freedom, lying in the dirt, dishonored and criticized by profiteering gluttons!
During the blockade of Leningrad? When communists have eaten everything
what they wanted: chocolate, any fruits, I do not say about meat, bread.

Remember the anthem of communists. They dreamed to damage the world...
and the build something. They built and are building so far.

> The “free economic system” has lead my nation to hatred and violence;
> a government controlled by Mafiosi oligarchs- a criminal oligarchy!
By the way, almost all they are the former communists or children of
communists.

> I see the enormous technological advances,....
> I see a great culture, built for centuries, ....
What are you doing for that?

> If being a patriot makes me a criminal, then I agree:
> Yes I am a criminal;
How it is easy to change a nature of a communist! He is like a
weathercock.

> For my motherland, for Russia I see only one solution- if we want to

> to rebuild socialism.
Oh, thank you! It is just that what normal people do not want.

> FOR our history is that of learning to achieve
> victories by uniting,
Do you mean "our history" since what year?

> No one has ever over won our Russia, who will come to us with a sword,
> will die from a sword,
Do you know when these words were said? Or, at least, it is concerning
of what period of the Russian history?

Uf-f, I am tired to read this delirium...

1. For azov:
any change of government is achieved only by a revolution.
Any one on the horison? Our people are being torchured more and more every day- see it as a pan of boiling-water, eventually the water will be boiling so much that it will go over the edge- a situation will come up, when the "lower classes do not want" and upper "cant", and then... we bouth know what Lenin said about that situation.
2. To chinaguy- hello comrade! just know this- anyone who understands that he is a slave and fights for his freedom is a revolutionary!
3. rikbe-

What’s your definition of a "communist"?

( soon I will post another essay "communism the greatest religion of all times"), untill then, I will explain- I strive for noble principals- freedom, equality and brotherhood, I strive for highly cultural reasons, a sociaty where everyone has same rights, where discrimination does not exist, a sociaty of REAL freedom. A strive away from the murderous cult of money, cult of violence and hatride, need more??

Where do you live?

where do you think??

Anarchy? A slogan of anarchists is "Anarchy is a mother of an order..."
Maybe, simply a dividing of a market between several groups of certain
people?

I have had many VERY long discussions with anarchists and both anty-socialists and we all knew that: "ANARCHY" is "social distruction", but "anarchism" (that what anarchists beleive in) is a form of socialism. Offcourse anarchism was never practiced, although I do not support anarchism, I know the differences in the socialist systems (if you want I can explain) just dont confuse the "anarchy with anarchism...

FIVE??? Maybe, last 85 years?

last crisis was in 1998, new one coming up in view years...

Oh, yes, a "kind grandfather Lenin" sent abroad an killed many
intelligent people. Are you so old that you have been a witness of that?

1. why does everyone call Lenin "grandfather" because he was bold?? Lenin died when he was 50! that is not too much "grandfather".
2. "then" allot less people were unhappy then now, lets see how many people the deRmocrats have killed!

I wonder where you see "the “free” capitalist system".

That what the deRmocrats keep saying!

What ancestors do you mean

Those who sacrifised themselves so you would pe proud of your descent! those millions who died on the front, those millions who volunteerd to fight untill their last drop of blood, those millions who worked their asses off in the first five year plan, to rebuild the country for you, those millions who devoted their lifes to inreach our culture and make our motherland into the frontern positions! All they were betrayed by the corrupt government of today!

During the blockade of Leningrad? When communists have eaten everything
what they wanted: chocolate, any fruits, I do not say about meat, bread.

I did not understand completely what you've tried to mean, but if you are trying to blame the "hunger" of leningrad onto the communists, then you are wrong, beleive me I know allot about blockade of leningrad and I am willing to go into a discussion about that! Just view facts- germans bombed Leningrads food depots in beginning of blockade. Then they dropped folders with- today your women die from agony, tomorrow your children from hunger" still we did not give up, it were the communists who defended AND SUCCESFULLY BROKE OUT OF THE SEIGE FROM INSIDE! It were the communists who brought food thrue the road of death, it were the communists who raised a flag of glory above Leningrad!

Do you mean "our history" since what year?

Since WE have beaten the MONGOLIAN enslavers after 300 years of slavery! we have beaten them, by uniting into a strong union!

Do you know when these words were said? Or, at least, it is concerning
of what period of the Russian history?

Alexander NEVSKY after winning the "ledowoe poboyushe" battle on ice" his words were correctfully repeated in many russian victories to come!

Remember the anthem of communists. They dreamed to damage the world...

In case you did not understand Russian correctly (just in case) HERE IS AN ENGLISH VERSION OF RUSSIAN HYMN! Download listen and enjoy! and tell me where they "dream to damage the world": http://www.sovmusic.ru/mp3/ussr_eng.mp3

red fury,

You did answer the reply of my wife but not mine.

As she is already sleeping, she will only read this tomorrow but I don't think she will answer you. As I said, she is Russian and does not need a translation. She lived all her live in Petersburg till a few months ago, most of her life under communism.
Her father survived the siege of Leningrad, he fought against the Germans as an officer in the red army and knows exactly what happened.
I think that if you would say what you wrote in her face, you would be a very unhappy man, rather an ex-man.
