had sunk into all round crisis. They restored the ideology of private property and implemented the dictatorship of the exploitative capitalist class. This dictatorship is serving the interests of a small number of exploiters at the cost of working class and the middle class. This dictatorship belongs to the exploiting class and is a Bourgeoisie dictatorship.
So those who abuse Stalin as autocratic and dictatorial are the opponents of dictatorship of the proletariat. Once this most important principle of Marxism Leninism is abandoned, there is no point in thinking about the emancipation of the exploited class. By attacking Marxism-Leninism they are attacking socialism and the dictatorship of the proletariat. They are equating the dictatorship of the proletariat with the bourgeoisie dictatorship. Those who reject the significance of proletarian dictatorship for building socialism can’ t fight the bourgeoisie and the capitalist roaders. So, Lenin explained that it is not enough to overthrow the capitalist class, we need to wage bitter and protracted struggles against these forces.
“ This is only a beginning, but it is a beginning of exceptionally great importance. It is the beginning of a revolution that is more difficult, more tangible, more radical and more decisive than the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, for it is a victory over our own conservatism, indiscipline, petty-bourgeois egoism, a victory over the habits left as a heritage to the worker and peasant by accursed capitalism. Only when this victory is consolidated will the new social discipline, socialist discipline, be created; then and only then will a reversion to capitalism become impossible, will communism become really invincible.” [ The Great Beginning ] 2. Chinese Revolution
Class struggle is a continuous process, it continues till communism is achieved. During the process of socialist progress, its intensity may reduce some times, but it won’ t end. It continues as long as the class enemies – imperialist, autocratic classes are in existence.
The new democratic revolution of China that trembled the semi-colonial, semi feudal system may be different to the Russian revolution in form, but their essence and aim are one and the same; replacing the society based on exploitation of man by man with a society based on equality; overthrowing the exploiting class and their state and establishing the state of the working class; and ultimately establishing a class less communist society.
November- 2017
The new democratic revolution of China that trembled the semi-colonial, semi feudal system may be different to the Russian revolution in form, but their essence and aim are one and the same; replacing the society based on exploitation of man by man with a society based on equality; overthrowing the exploiting class and their state and establishing the state of the working class; and ultimately establishing a class less communist society.
This Chinese revolution started as a struggle against the age old feudal system, by the exploited and oppressed people. Ultimately it overthrew the power of feudal lords and imperialists hegemony. It is a revolution that showed the way to the oppressed peoples in various semi colonial and semi feudal countries. It is a protracted people’ s war with the strength of a united front of all the revolutionary classes( peasantry, proletariat, petty bourgeoisie, national bourgeoisie) with the people’ s armed forces led by the working class and with the peasantry as the main force. It is a revolution led by working class under the communist party leadership that established the people’ s democratic dictatorship.
W ith the establishment of this people’ s democratic dictatorship Chinese people got freedom and liberty and were emancipated from the clutches of semi colonial semi feudal system. This struggle for emancipation gave stimulus to all the oppressed people of the world. In the process of human society Russian revolution brought a qualitative change while the Chinese revolution stood as a symbol to root out semi colonial and semi feudal systems. It proved the principle of dialectical materialism that human society is progressing towards a more developed stage. It ignited revolutionary flames in all the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. It moved shoulder to shoulder with the democratic revolutions led by the working class in East European countries; strengthened the forces fighting for freedom, liberty and peace; helped the struggles to take a stronger and more organized form and helped the ongoing struggles to withstand and march forward.
This is not an ordinary victory. The struggle led by Chinese Communist Party under Mao to achieve this victory is not ordinary. It led the vast masses of oppressed people against the enemies- feudal lords, imperialists, comprador bourgeoisie; in the struggle overcame many hurdles; marched ahead overcoming various wrong trends within the party and marched forward.
