Re: Mother of All Questions (was: What is Lüko looking for?)

And this crisis showed itself in the sharpest way in the 1930ies, when
fascism inflicted a devastating defeat to the working class in Germany, thus
opening
the way for the continuation of the inter-imperialist war which was just
interrupted by the October revolution.

Nestor Gorojovsky might say that the German workers are themselves
responsible, or that they had no chance, as he explained for the 1973 coup in
Chile,
because they had a terrible enemy against them.

Well, this is not true. Fascism in Germany could have been
averted; the KPD, the Communist Party, had the key in its hands, and it let
them drop -- under instigation from the Moscow advisers


The ball was dropped when leaders of the German Workers fought against Lenin
and his conception of an insurrectionary force - the party of a new type, the
national question and breaking with the social imperialist. These "democratic
screamers" made a horrible error and mistake in political judgment. There
were other political errors concerning the correlation of forces. Here is Rosa
Luxembourg's error and her and Karl paid with their life.

One cannot compare German fascism to Chile 1973, because German fascism was
the direct response to Bolshevism and we are speaking of a totally different
historical period with a radically different correlation of forces.

To state that the defeat of the German workers was "instigated" by Moscow and
not a product of the internal political makeup of the proletariat and its
leaders is sinning against reality. What was needed was a party of steel, -
Bolshevism, devoid of democratic illusions. The democratic illusions are a
product
of capital imperialism and an ideological expression of the most bribed sector
of the industrial proletariat. Later the stability of German fascism was
manifest as the German workers receiving French wine, Polish hams and Slavic
women
and girls as servants and sex toys - bribery.

A deeper question is the inability of political formation to make a
transition from parliamentarian structures and trade union type organizations to
revolutionary organs of insurrections. You have not understood Lenin. A
communist
party ruthlessly purges itself, split or abolition's itself and is reconstituted
to sublate - make a transition as history changes and turns. On Marxline half
the comrade are stuck in old doctrine right now today.

It is simply a question of material bribery of the workers on the one hand
and the impact of democratic illusions on the part of leaders of the German
workers. Why is this Moscow's fault, when the historical record has recorded the
fight against Lenin and the Leninist?

In America things were worse and the bribery of the working class is without
precedence in history. What would become a communist movement was born of the
semi-fascist Populist Movement in the late 1890s and would later be won over
to the enormous prestige of Lenin on the basis of the First Imperial World War.
It would not be until 1928 - a decade and a half later, that the Iron hand of
Stalin would force these communist to come to grips with the so-called Negro
Question.

I have no problem with detailing this bribery of our working class but for
now to point an accusing finger at Moscow for 1918 or 1923 in Germany is
outrageous. The German Party has itself to blame and not the Bolsheviks or
Moscow. I
do not hate the greatness of Rosa and Karl. They gave their lives for the
workers of the world. We have to admit our errors and understand why Bolshevism
emerged as the advance culture of the proletarian revolution.

Lenin told you what to do and the German workers and their leaders made a
different choice, which drowned Europe in blood. That is your historical error
you must face like men and women! And not make the same mistake again!

In America the communist workers have face outright imperialist scoundrels
since the completion of Reconstruction and the overthrow of the democratic
government of the South. The historical alignment has been impossible to
overturn.
Half of the so-called revolutionaries remain enemies of Sovietism to this
very day, and in history haters of the most oppressed and exploited section of
the laboring classes in America. To this very day they repudiate the national
colonial question in America and by doing so block with imperial reaction.

Between 1917 and the fall of the Soviet Union and then the overthrow of it
public property relations, anti-communism in America was tightly linked with
white chauvinism. The repudiation of the national-colonial question was
catastrophic and prevented the working class movement from evolving as a
political
force on the basis of the fault line within American imperialism. The line of
march of the communist and socialist was charted along the trajectory of the
most
privileged sector of the working class organized in union. The movement was
trapped in white chauvinism politically and organizationally.

The other half are basically play things in the hands of intelligence agents
of the bourgeoisie or outright white chauvinist.

There are material factors that govern the revolutionary process in America,
at each stage of the quantitative and qualitative expansion of the industrial
infrastructure. Some of this I write about and much I will not write about
because the scoundrels use it to block our advance. Ask the scoundrels about the
working class movement in America and in unison they scream Stalin or Moscow.

Bribery is the bottom line. One should study the real history of America from
the appearance of Lenin's Iskra to the Stalin government's defeat of the
German fascist in the Great Patriotic War.

Here is what we wrote in the Peoples Tribune, Vol. 2, no 3 February 1, 1975.

"As USNA imperialism tightened its murderous grip on the colonies and
especially the nation in the South, the material standard of life of the Anglo
American people began to rise. The non-exploitating classes knew instinctively
that
their material well-being was tied to the exploitation of the non-sovereign
peoples. The exploited sections of the Anglo-American population blocked with
the imperialists in the rape of the Negro Nation. If the Wall Street imperialist
could not count on the support of the Anglo American workers to brutally
enforce job discrimination, the imperialist system could not exist.

"The imperialist bribery of the Anglo-American workers made it possible and
profitable to brutally murder Negro women and children, to burn their houses
and churches and to meet appeals for justice with an indescribably bloody
violence. There can be no doubt that history will place a collective
responsibility
upon the Anglo-American people for the horrors of the lynch rope and burning
stake of that period." (End of quote)

These two paragraphs in a much longer article earned us the hated of the
so-called left and isolation, which in turn drove us deeper into the lowest
sector
of the workers and Marxism. How can one blame a historically evolved
relationship on Moscow? What we are dealing with is the most imperial of all
imperial
workers on earth. For historical reasons the communist of the era of Lenin
focused on the industrial sector of the working class in the North - the most
bribed sector, and to this day call the fight for industrial unions the "working
class movement." This is a historical error of our movement and a political
crime against the working class.

Why should I lie and blame Moscow, when a mutherfucker had a choice and in
mass rejected the brilliance of "The October Revolution and the National
Question," "The October Revolution and the Tactics of the Russian Communists,"
and in
the case of the German comrade "Questions Concerning the History of
Bolshevism?" Who is to blame today? Moscow? The answer to Nestor question is
simple.
Do not pretend we communist workers are not aware of Lenin's October 1916
article "On The Junius Pamphlet." Lenin's critiqued a number of serious
mistakes of
the Left Social Democrats in Germany. This was in 1916 two years after the
war!

Important leaders of the Left German Social Democrats even questioned Lenin
taking the Russian workers out of the war - one of the basis on which the
Bolsheviks came to power!

Nestor, the workers of the imperial centuries would rather exploit your
wealth, murder your women and children and fuck your daughters. It is that
simple.
And the so-called left will not even make a moral appeal against imperial
looting and banditry to our workers.

It is only now that capital has evolved to a stage where the value form is
unraveling and the material bribery of the imperial workers is becoming a thing
of the past that the prospect of revolution appears on the horizon. Such is
the logic of life but to ignore it and cover this logic with "theoretical
profundity" and point a finger at Moscow is chauvinism pure and simple and to go
over to the side of imperialism. Here is the guilt of the German and American
workers and intellectuals. I feel not one ounce of guilt - only shame.

To finger Moscow is a damn lie and cowardly. In America Moscow forced the
national colonial question on these scoundrels who to this very day rebel in
mass
and block with Yankee imperialism. They will not even make moral appeals to
our workers.
