The Russian revolution in October 1917 brought about the greatest turning point in the history of the world as it thundered all over the globe, and in its path it called upon the working Class to rise up and overthrow the chains that bound them. For thousands of years the world was ruled by the exploiting classes.
The October Revolution represented not only the triumph of the working class, but also the victory of Marxism-Leninism over reformism. The success of the revolution was due to the Bolsheviks having learned throughout their struggles against all enemies, both internal and external, how to unify the workers in order to overthrow the hated regime of the Tsar and then the reformist Kerensky government which wanted to stifle the revolution from going to its final revolutionary victory.
It is correct to state that since 1917 the ideas of the October Revolution have been the center of fierce ideological struggle. For nearly 8 decades Imperialists have been trying to slander the October Revolution. In order to divert the workers from the revolution the enemies have promoted anti-Communism in all of its forms, from the right wing varieties, to the more insidious reformism and revisionist varieties.
Unfortunately these enemies, both external and internal, managed to temporarily dismember the Soviet Union. The lessons that the working class of the world must learn is to be on guard against internal enemies who mask themselves as "revolutionaries, communist followers and patriots" while doing the disruptive work inside the movement.
The tragedy of the temporary demise of socialism and of the Soviet Union was the cardinal fact that after Stalin died in 1953, Khrushchev transformed the party of the working class into the "party of all the people" after which the working class was rejected from the governing of Society. That is when the party started to slowly degenerate. Under the slogan of "criticism of the cult of personality" of Stalin, the party leadership underwent massive changes, being replaced by many apparatchiks (bureaucratic functionaries) loyal to Khrushchev.
The party then became a revisionist party.
Northstar Compass, since its foundation 7 years ago, has gathered and printed news items from the former Soviet Union, showing the path that these former "communists" have taken in order to fulfill the plans of the CIA and Imperialism.
Soviet people are realizing the tremendous peril for themselves and for the working class of the world. The storm is brewing and the spark is ignited that will bring the day closer for another Socialist Revolution.
