Red Youth - October

Red Youth and CPGB-ML member Jamie Sokolowski speaks at a meeting to celebrate the 94th anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution, at Sak Hall in west London.

He outlines the relevance of the October Revolution to working class youth in Britain today, and its key lessons.

Chiefly, he points out the necessity of forming an organization and studying our exploitative society and the alternatives, in order to make our struggle effective; of confronting and opposing the mis-leadership of the social democratic 'Labour' Party, the enemy within the working-class movement; and the importance of imparting the spontaneous resistance that is rising around us (Student EMA and university fees protestors, Occupy Wall St and the LSX, union strikes, and the 'London Riots'...) with class-conscious and revolutionary perspective.

These are the lessons we all must learn if we are to building effective resistance to the attacks of a political and economic order that is in its most profound crisis, and ultimately overthrow the British, American, EU and NATO criminally corrupt, venal and genocidal ruling monopoly capitalist gangsters.

Choose the road of October!

Each one teach one!

A. Filling speech by Jamie there!

@ProletarianCPGBML He's pointing out that it doesn't exist anymore, because it collapsed. Communism failed, as it always has and always will.

@MrLovethelife This is a very anarchist idea that leaders are not necessary. One that anarchists themselves dismissed after their experience in the Spanish Civil War (75 years ago!) You'll notice that even the very well organized and powerful bourgeoisie have many leadership structures. of their armed forces, governments, and enterprises. How do you think workers can do without such organization? you're barking (up the wrong tree / at the wrong people)!

[MrLovethelife]

@AusVietnamesePride you should go and live in a dictatorship, as long as you don't mind loosing lots of internet access, watched and followed (no joke), make sure you read the right books (make sure you never read the wrong one's, you will be imprisoned) and do not ask the party the wrong question and finally whatever you do do not try to organise the working class!! ( this is me writing from experience)

[MrLovethelife]

@MaoistLeninistMarx go to Zimbabwe first before you confess your love for Zimbabwe, i already know that you haven't been there, or if you have you did not experience Zim

[MrLovethelife]

@MaoistLeninistMarx First off, its even the independent media, but also actual comrades and friends within these countries especially in Cuba and Zimbabwe. Friends and comrades of mine have been arrested for wanting to strike, whilst in Cuba gays and lesbians were sent to "re-education" camps where they were beaten and abused...Just because we live in a capitalist country does not mean every media outlet is capitalist, just search on the internet, phone up and visit journalists in London

[MrLovethelife]

@ProletarianCPGBML same goes for China, North Korea (we've had comrades imprisoned for wanting to strike) Cuba, this countries oppress the working class even more that capitalists! Marxist Lennists are even more of a threat than the Bourgeoisie! i guess you can be on the side of the party (with the privilege and vast wealth) or you can be with the workers! Marx spoke for workers, not Individuals/dictatorships power ( i thought fiend was harsh lol, no worries)

[MrLovethelife]

@ProletarianCPGBML I promise you this is not the case for Zimbabwe, even wearing the wrong t-shirt can end up in a cell, the army is not just some innocent minded person, Mugabwe and the army control the state, they employ people living in real poverty to beat, intimidate, rape, kill and imprison ANY opposition, i can tell you for fact this is the case in Zimbabwe..

Here we can say it, and yes it pisses the state off but even our Bourgeois "democracy" allows workers to organise

@MrLovethelife

I believe that dictatorship can be used but must be equalized by love of the people. Democracy can be introduced after the dictator has passed but for the head person, they are but a figure head that makes the country proud to be what it is. Many think it's a quest for power but I believe that the original starters of communist parties around the world should be in office until they die so their dream can truly be realised by the people.
