Joseph V. Stalin- Address to the people on May 9th 1945 (Victory Speech)

https://communismgr.blogspot.com/2017/05/joseph-v-stalin-address-to-people-on.html

Speech by the Marshal of the Soviet Union

Joseph V. Stalin.

May 9, 1945.

Comrades! Fellow countrymen and countrywomen!

The great day of victory over Germany has arrived. Fascist Germany, forced to her knees by the Red Army and the troops of our Allies, has admitted defeat and has announced her unconditional surrender.

On May 7 a preliminary act of surrender was signed in Rheims. On May 8, in Berlin, representatives of the German High Command, in the presence of representatives of the Supreme Command of the Allied troops and of the Supreme Command of the Soviet troops, signed the final act of surrender, which came into effect at 24 hours on May 8.

Knowing the wolfish habits of the German rulers who regard treaties and agreements as scraps of paper, we have no grounds for accepting their word. Nevertheless, this morning, the German troops, in conformity with the act of surrender, began en masse to lay down their arms and surrender to our troops. This is not a scrap of paper. It is the actual capitulation of the armed forces of Germany. True, one group of German troops in the region of Czechoslovakia still refuses to surrender, but I hope the Red Army will succeed in bringing it to its senses.

We now have full grounds for saying that the historic

day of the final defeat of Germany, the day of our people’s great victory over German imperialism, has arrived.

The great sacrifices we have made for the freedom and independence of our country, the incalculable privation and suffering our people have endured during the war, our intense labours in the rear and at the front, laid at the altar of our motherland, have not been in vain; they have been crowned by complete victory over the enemy. The ago-long struggle of the Slavonic peoples for their existence and independence has ended in victory over the German aggressors and German tyranny.

Henceforth, the great banner of the freedom of the peoples and peace between the peoples will fly over Europe.

Three years ago Hitler publicly stated that his task included the dismemberment of the Soviet Union and the severance from it of the Caucasus, the Ukraine, Byelorussia, the Baltic and other regions. He definitely said: “We shall destroy Russia so that she shall never be able to rise again.” This was three years ago. But Hitler’s insane ideas were fated to remain unrealized — the course of the war scattered them to the winds like dust. Actually, the very opposite of what the Hitlerites dreamed of in their delirium occurred. Germany is utterly defeated. The German troops are surrendering. The Soviet Union is triumphant, although it has no intention of either dismembering or destroying Germany.

Comrades! Our Great Patriotic War has terminated in our complete victory. The period of war in Europe has closed. A period of peaceful development has been ushered in.

Congratulations on our victory, my dear fellow countrymen and countrywomen!

Glory to our heroic Red Army, which upheld the independence of our country and achieved victory over the enemy! 

 

Glory to our great people, the victor people! 

Eternal glory to the heroes who fell fighting the enemy and who gave their lives for the freedom and happiness of our people!

Comment: You people are a proof that mental illness and stupidity are alive and well in Texas.
Please take a look at the Communist hellhole of Cuba and Venezuela to make my point.
My family started poor but not lazy ! in Oklahoma and after hard word NOT government hand outs or my god ! Communism !! they were able to live well and send many many kids to college.

We received this comment in response to the article we posted: http://houstoncommunistparty.com/beyond-the-discourse-macron-and-le-pens-programs-for-france/

We found the link to this article from your Twitter feed and followed it in the hope that the CPUSA – and/or your French comrades – might have something interesting to say about the French elections. We were not surprised to be disappointed. This is a worthless “analysis” piece taken word-for-word from the bourgeois press; it hides the truth about these candidates, portraying them as if they did not represent any of the contending classes in a capitalist society but were existing in some magical metaphysical plane “above” or “beyond” “mere” class analysis. If we wanted to know what the bourgeoisie thought about the French elections we could just read Le Temps or Paris Match. Have the “Communist Party” Stalinists given up even pretending to be Marxist dialecticians these days?

There are revolutionary socialist workers parties in France, are there not? What are their critiques of Macron, Le Pen and all the other shameless servants of the hideous French bourgeoisie? That would be interesting to read; this is not even good bourgeois press analysis.

Workers of the World, Unite! Return to the Revolutionary Road of Lenin and Trotsky! Long Live the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917!

We appreciate all comments in response to the articles we post, but reserve the duty to respond.

We were not surprised to be disappointed with the splitting tactics of self serving Trots. We understand that that is what Trots do to disrupt any progress of the working class.

First, we are not affiliated in any way with the CPUSA. They expelled us when we questioned their unquestioning allegiance to the Democratic Party.

Second, we will be happy to post any analysis from French Communists when we find it. This article was posted in Telesur, which is a beacon of truth in the struggle to continue to revolutionary government of Venezuela. We posted it because we found it interesting. It merely delineates the positions of the two candidates in the runoff election in France. Maybe we missed something, but we did not notice that there are any Trots in the runoff. We do not endorse any articles we post from other sources, but offer them for educational and informational purposes to the working class in its struggle to attain political power.

Of course, political struggle is anathema to counterrevolutionary Trots who seek to split and divide the working class into an infinitesimal number of splinter organizations. When the working class is divided, the bourgeoisie will continue to prevail.

If you do not have knowledge of your enemies, you cannot fight them effectively and instead must cling to hollow, meaningless slogan tributes to the villainous traitor to the revolutionary process, Trotsky.

History has proven that Trotsky worked as a German agent in the effort to sabotage the Soviet Union. His palatial home in Mexico City proves he was on the bourgeois payroll.

We recognize that the Soviet Union was an outstanding experiment in socialism, but it failed due to the sell out to the bourgeoisie led by Gorbachev. Trotsky’s machinations and those of his pathetic followers contributed to the surrender of the USSR.

We reject the characterization of our website as Stalinist, but realize that that it is merely Trots at play using any lie they can conjure up to split the working class.

It is not necessary to respond to the Trotskyite gibberish which reveals their lack of knowledge of the class struggle.

Party of Communists, USA: Statement of the PCUSA Peace and Solidarity Commission on Global War

https://communismgr.blogspot.com/2017/04/party-of-communists-usa-statement-of.html

Statement of the PCUSA Peace and Solidarity Commission on Global War.

US imperialist aggression and military preparations throughout the world are solely menacing an imminent outbreak of WWIII. All its desperate confrontational maneuvers in every embroiled theatre, whether through a growing number of European states to threaten the Russian Federation, or in Syria, Iraq or Yemen, on the Korean Peninsula or in the South China Sea threatening China, are toward that unified (rationally unthinkable) strategic objective.

US provocative actions globally are one in purpose; they are not at all comprehensible as interventions in separate conflicts. US disturbance in other countries is posed conjunction with its major front, NATO, through US inspired neo-Nazi movements in several European countries (notably the Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Romania); with its highly reactionary regional vassal states in Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Persian Gulf principalities), with its subordinates in Asia (Japan, South Korea, and Australia); by its promotion of civil unrest in Latin America (prominently in Venezuela at the moment); and by its rapidly increasing militarization of the Artic in conjunction with its servant Canada.

US military and political involvement raising protracted regional tensions has instigated violent crises in several countries in both hemispheres, whether by wars of indirect or direct aggression or subterfuge. Intervention is simply an empty pretext: it is not predicated on independent or pre-existing civil conflicts in other countries or propagandistically imagined threats to the peace of the world by other states. Neo-Nazi movements in Europe would not exist without US organization and funding for previously suppressed and dispersed criminal elements in those societies. There is no civil war in Syria, inherently a stable, secular society and republic, not divided ethnically or religiously. The war there is one of indirect aggression on the part of the US since 2011 through brutally barbaric foreign mercenary terrorists, not Syrian rebels, from over 80 countries, ostensibly seeking to impose a theocratic autocracy but serving as a purely invented rationale for intended US-Saudi-Turkish partition of Syria. Indirect aggression and the pursuit of pretext for intervention leads of false flag operations, such as the sarin gas attack in Syria in 2013 and the currently alleged sarin gas attack in that country, when the known supplies for sarin gas to US-backed terrorist elements in Syria is coming from NATO through Turkey. The struggle in Yemen is not one of an Iran allied Houthi minority posing a threat against a US ally, the Absolute Monarchy of Saudi Arabia, but the opposite: a national resistance struggle of all popular democratic forces in Yemen against US-Saudi imperialist aggression. Oppositional elements in Venezuela are being directly organized and funded by the US, which would otherwise have no power to disturb the political order of that popular Bolivarian state. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, seeking only to defend itself from constant US threats for its destruction throughout its existence after an artificially US imposed partition empowering Japanese collaborationists among Korean capitalists and landlords against the unified Korean anti-imperialist resistance, is being demonized absurdly as if a representing a threat of global aggression. All conflicts threatening the peace of the world today have been instigated or contrived by US imperialism, which are being resisted at national levels by popular and progressive forces in the different forms confronted.

The political style of US aggression, whether conducted at the sole initiative of the presidency or with the consent of the Congress (by either declarations of war or authorizations for the use of force), is not the issue: US imperialist designs now threatening WWIII are. The constitutional question is a serious misdirection of the US peace movement. From 1812, the Congress of the United States has overwhelming supported all US wars, whether apparently defensive or aggressive. The US Congress today is fully behind all current US wars of indirect aggression and of military strike build-up throughout the world. Formal declarations of war or stronger resolutions of authorization will only give the appearance of popular support for continued and intensified aggression that does not exist and provide a pretext for treating opposition as treasonous, as is already occurring within the government under the anti-Russia hysteria generated during and since the 2016 US presidential elections.

What needs urgently to be done as a first step to stop US imperialist aggression in the world is the illegalization by the General Assembly of the United Nations of all wars of indirect aggression, as the Soviet representative to the League of Nations, Maxim Litvinov, appealed for prior to WWII but failed to achieve, and of any moves outside the UN framework to disarm other states. The Peace and Solidarity Commission of the Party of Communists, USA, calls on all domestic peace and anti-imperialist organizations to support the illegalization in international law of wars of indirect aggression and to support universal disarmament by negotiations under multilateral treaties (the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in particular), and the illegalization of any show of force by one state to compel other states to disarm.
