EVERLASTING HONOR AND GLORY TO COMRADE STALIN!

(by Domenico Savio )

Today, just as 57 years ago, the sincere Communists, true revolutionaries, coherent Marxist-Leninists, the working class conscious of its historical task of being bound to liberate itself and the whole humanity from the murderous yoke of capitalism and imperialism and all those committed to fight in the front of the socialist revolution to build the higher and human socialist society, before building that communist one, dry themselves the face, streaked with tears, recalling that extraordinary Revolutionary, ‘Condottiere’, Leader of the proletarian armies, Liberator of peoples from millenary, master slavery, Builder of the first socialist society in human history and Hero of the Soviet Union and of the victory over Nazi fascism.

At 57 years from his death, when the first historical experience of socialism realized in the twentieth century has been tragically interrupted by the temporary revenge of exploiting damned race and of the hierarchies of temporal and obscurantist power of the Churchs with despicable accomplicity of internal enemies of socialism, which bear the unfortunate appellative of reformists, revisionists, opportunists and sold to the class enemy, when all mankind has suffered a dreadful setback concerning the independence, autonomy and freedom of peoples, of the political and social emancipation of the working class of different countries and when the whole Planet risks to implode for the destructive action of environmental balance by capitalism and imperialism, that to survive are destroying and polluting the natural habitat, his loss seems to us in all its absence and seriousness.

Comrade Iosif Vissarionovich Giugascvili, better known as Joseph Stalin, where Joseph is for Josif and Stalin for steel, the pseudonym of revolutionary fighter who dedicated himself during the clandestine political struggle, was born on December 21, 1879 in Gori in Georgia by a working family, cobbler father and washerwoman mother, "in a hovel of bricks and wood with a roof of boards,"  tells us his great French biographer Henri Barbusse, he attended the Tiflis Orthodox Theological Seminary, from where was soon expelled for his political ideas and for marxist and revolutionary propaganda, was deported in Siberia and arrested five times by the Tsarist police, from which for three times he managed to escape. Very young embraced the cause of Marxism, studied the works of Marx and Engels, deepened the science of dialectical materialism, opposed to the theories of idealism and also of evolutionism – namely the history of the constant material transformation of Nature that concerns our Planet and the whole Universe - and that one of historical materialism, which sticks to the materialist emancipation of mankind through the scientific research and the class struggle until his death in communist society.

The revolutionary life of Stalin has gone through the whole historical course of training and revolutionary activity of Bolshevik Communist Party, of the revolutionary path that led to the defeat of capitalism and the victory of socialism in Russia, the victory of glorious October Socialist Revolution, the defeat of the counterrevolutionary forces in the Civil War 1918-1922, the construction of Soviet Union, the industrialization, electrification, collectivization and technological development of the first socialist country in human history, the heroic defense of country of the Soviets and the defeat of Nazi-fascism in Europe and in the world, a journey that has embraced the period 1898-1953. An exemplary life of revolutionary entirely dedicated to the social emancipation of humanity, to the defeat of the conservative, reactionary, political, economic and idealistic forces, the conquest of political power by the labour and intellective working-class, the abolition of exploitation of man over man, the construction of socialist society for the building of that communist one and to the defeat of capitalism and imperialism by achieving over all the whole Earth.

On Stalin fell the huge boulder of having to inherit and complete the work of the great Lenin and he did it with incomparable commitment and capacity, building socialism in the Soviet Union for about 95%, it is the level of collectivization of all social activities reached with the 19th Congress of the Bolshevik Communist Party of U.S.S.R., held in Moscow from October 5, 1952. He has been the most faithful and coherent heir of the everlasting thinking and work of Lenin, has followed his indication about the possibility of building the socialism in an only country, from which extending over all Earth, with the Party was able to isolate and defeat the loser line of Trotsky, Buckharin, Zinoviev and others on behalf of the permanent revolution and progressivity in the process of collectivization of productive activities, especially agricultural ones.

The firmness in the program of socialist transformation of country caused him slanders and internal enemies, among revisionist, enemies of the construcion of socialism, and external enemies and they forced the Party to take the necessary steps to neutralize the openly action of sabotage of socialist activity. Unfortunately, these enemies and saboteurs of the construction of socialism had the upper hand after Stalin's death and on the Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of Soviet Union in 1956 and with Trotskyists Nikita Khrushchev, stopped the construction of socialism and started the process of the tragic return to capitalism, concluded in 1990. This defeat, and not failure as opportunistically maintain the enemies of socialism, promoted and pursued by revisionists of the authentic class and revolutionary nature of the communist doctrine, elaborated from Marx, Engels, Lenin and from the same Stalin, taught us, Marxist-Leninists, that during the construction of socialist society, namely the passage from capitalism to socialism, the class struggle must continue, with extreme severity and without any mercy towards the opportunists, defeatists and traitors.

Stalin has been not only the great strategist of the building of socialism, of the internationalist solidarity towards the brother Communist Parties, people and countries in struggle to redeem themselves from the yoke of subjugation and exploitation of capitalism and economic, military imperialism and of the victory over Nazi-Fascism, but also a Master of science and political strategy of Marxism-Leninism, which has further enriched, compared to Marx, Engels and Lenin, with significant writings as "The principles of Leninism", "The questions of Leninism", "The right deviation in the (bolshevik) Communist Party of the Soviet Union", "The Project of constitution of  U.S.S.R.", "Dialectical materialism and historical materialism" and so on.

In the occasion of the 57th anniversary of death is duty of every fighter for socialism to remember him, especially, for the one who has represented and made for the victory of October Revolution, for socialism realized in the Soviet Union and in many other countries and continents on Earth, rightly showed as "The socialist world" opposed to that infamous capitalist one, for the general process of social emancipation of which has benefited the whole mankind and for the deeply human and altruistic traits that have distinguished him from all bourgeois Presidents.

Any resumption of the path of peoples toward socialism must take into account the journey followed by the Soviet Union and the directions given by his Maximum Author and unquestioned Commander, loved and respected by his people and the working masses of all the world.

Stalin, just for having been the first builder of socialism in the history of peoples, because Lenin, unfortunately, died prematurely, remains and will remain the only reliable guidance for the construction of the next socialist societies.

No man is more humane, affectionate, simple and selfless of a true communist. The most deep, sensitive, loyal and helpful humanity to the needs of others is mainly in the communist formed to the upper school of Marxism-Leninism. The whole humanity to get rid of the millenary injustices of master power needs the teaching of life of Stalin and his revolutionary inheritance will live in the following centuries and will be eternal, as those ones of Marx, Engels and Lenin.

We want to end this memory with a life testimony of Stalin, written by Henry Barbusse: “A small house, which would not notice not even if someone would not show you: in the past was used for house of the servants of Tsar. Three windows with curtains of white linen: the apartment of Stalin (at Kremlin). In a small anteroom a coat of soldier is hung on a hook with up a cap (which we have seen close up). Three bedrooms and a dining room. Simple furniture as second-rate hotel. The dining room is oval, meals are prepared by a restaurant: In a capitalist country a modest employee would disdain such a dining room and such a meal. A boy attends to the cleaning. The elder son of Stalin, Jascheka, sleeps on a sofa-bed, in the dining room, the youngest one in a kind of small alcove. Just after meals, Stalin, seated on a chair behind the window, smokes his pipe. He wears always a dress of the same style. It is not about a real uniform, but only a kind of uniform, a soldier dress, but made easier: boots, khaki pants and jacket. One did not ever see him dressed in another way: only on summer in white cloth. His monthly salary is around a few hundred rubles, that is equal at the most of poor salary of any official of Communist Party".

It is the most eloquent proof that Stalin lived with simplicity and modesty, like all other citizens of Soviet Union, but he was loved and esteemed, and he is loved and esteemed at the same way also today, by all honest people of this world.
